The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 375 The Chaos in Xizhou Prefecture

"what?!"

Xu Lu didn't understand Su Yan's meaning yet, but little did she know that Su Yan had already started to take action.

He released the Divine Fiend Locust, along with tens of thousands of fiend bees that covered the sky.

Its blade-like wings clanged and hummed, sending shivers down one's spine.

As soon as they emerged, they chased after the scattered martial artists, carrying with them a torrent of malevolent energy.

The Divine Fiend Locust took the lead and intercepted several Danqiao Realm martial artists in an instant. Its sharp claws, like spears, pierced through their bodies, severely injuring them.

By this time, the area behind the battlefield had long since become a playground for swarms of insects, and the stench of blood sent a chill down one's spine.

The Corpse King Worm, carrying a cloud of corpse poison, rushed into the crowd that was being interfered with and controlled by the Fiend Bees, and the corpse poison corroded the martial artists.

The poisonous corpses also went berserk, charging directly at the martial artists and using their hard bodies to attack and restrict their movements.

Using corpse poison as a catalyst, and with the ferocious bees constantly burrowing into their bodies, they eroded the martial artists' meridians through feeding and ferocious energy, and soon they completely lost their ability to resist.

Infected by the corpse poison, they soon transformed into poisonous beings with the bodies of warriors.

One after another, their eyes glowed green, their faces were hideous and terrifying, and their mouths dripped with viscous fluid laced with corpse poison.

A low growl, like that of a wild beast, emanated from deep within its throat. The next moment, it was controlled by the Corpse King Worm and charged towards the warriors further away.

The transformation of each poisoned person takes no more than a dozen breaths, and no more than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

As the swarm of insects passed by, those martial artists who thought they could escape were turned into terrifying poisonous people by the Corpse King Insects.

On the vast, yellow Gobi Desert, every few meters apart stand poisonous figures, resembling tombstones, sending chills down one's spine.

Everyone had only one thought in their minds: this ferocious insect was terrifying.

Su Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, "The corpse poison has not been nurtured for long and there is no medicinal liquid to nourish the corpse. The strength of this poisoned corpse is far inferior to that batch from Tianqing Mountain."

If the poisonous corpse was carefully nurtured in the poison pool by Tianqingshan, then it would be able to unleash power beyond its own strength.

A top-tier True Intent Realm martial artist, if refined into a poisonous corpse, might become a third-tier poisonous corpse.

Now, of course, it's impossible; in fact, having lost its true essence and true intent, a Danqiao Realm martial artist might only be able to unleash the power of a second-tier poisonous corpse.

However, it was enough for Su Yan.

We have consumables on both sides; now it's time to get going.

Hiss
The Corpse King Worm gave the order, and more than 10,000 poisonous corpses rose from the ground and gathered together.

"Leave people to defend the city"

Su Yan's order naturally took control of the Nineteenth Division.

Without hesitation, Xu Lu nodded and replied, "I'll make the arrangements right away."

Giant Rock City was one of the most important cities. Although Xu Lu, Long Qiushui, and Su Yan were not present and could not defend it, it was already a difficult task for Su Yan to gather enough strength to attack the city after clearing out the attacking Shan family army.

Xu Lu left behind a flag general with the strength of the Danqiao Realm, and three hundred demon-suppressing guards to guard the city. All the martial artists and city guards in the city were mobilized to become members of the guard.

After a hasty arrangement, the three of them headed straight for Eaglebeak City, the closest city to Giant Rock City.

……

Camel Bell City, First Division

A glint of light flashed in Ouyang Tianxun's eyes as he faced the gradually gathering forces of the Shan family below the city. Sensing the changes in the sky, he saw that even Martial Saints were fighting for their lives there. Within a hundred miles of Golden Sands, those who easily stepped into the battlefield would probably find it difficult to withstand that terrifying pressure.

“Su Yan…”

He muttered to himself, but his eyes sharpened. Ji Liyang did not mention Su Yan's name. Apart from ordering the Demon Suppression Guards to launch a counterattack, the latter part of his message did not reach other areas.

But he was different. Cao Hexuan was his teacher, and Cao Hexuan had just conveyed that if he lost face, he would be replaced in the position of First Division.

"Pass down the order: everyone put on your armor and follow me out of the city."

Ouyang Tianxun pressed his hand to his chest, and his black robes suddenly billowed up like layers of scales, instantly transforming into a set of black scale dragon armor. His aura was chilling, unmistakably that of a Grand Dharma Aspect martial artist. "Don the armor!"

Three thousand demon-suppressing guards stood in Camel Bell City. Almost simultaneously, their armor changed, all becoming black scale armor. As soon as they transformed, their true essence began to be consumed continuously. In an instant, their energy connected with each other, faintly forming a black dragon.

The Seventh Division of Qingfeng City, the Third Division of Chisha City, the Demon-Suppressing Army of Blackstone Fortress...

Almost simultaneously after the order was given, all units sprang into action, unleashing their most potent tactics to launch a counterattack against the Shan family army.

In an instant, slaughter broke out everywhere, and the original blockade in the sky became even more solid.

……

Su Yan led his army of poisonous corpses on a rampage through Eagle Beak City. The sheer force of their charge across the yellow sands of the Gobi Desert sent people fleeing in terror.

Without pausing, he ordered the Divine Fiend Locusts to spread out most of the Fiend Bees to investigate all movements within a hundred miles.

Wherever he went, Su Yan did not spare the bandits who tried to avoid him, nor the small-scale mountain bandits who occupied towns.

Before they even arrived, the Divine Fiend Locust had already led swarms of fiend bees to annihilate a small town and thousands of mountain warriors.

Those who leave behind intact corpses will be transformed into poisonous corpses by the Corpse King Worm using its Corpse Poison Space, and then added to its army.

In less than two hours, Xu Lu had already seen Su Yan conquer three small cities with a wave of his hand, a distance of three hundred miles.

Su Yan's aura grew stronger and stronger, and even the strange insect called the Dragon Vein Ancient Insect beside him became more imposing.

The group arrived three hundred feet away from Eagle's Beak City. From a distance, the walls, made of sand and stone, were about a hundred meters high, resembling a large mountain.

The entire city of Eagle's Beak was under extreme martial law at this time, and they could see this army billowing with smoke from afar.

bang
Like a thunderclap, more than a dozen enormous spirit-sealing artifacts, as big as millstones and covered with curse marks, flew out of Eagle Beak City and headed straight for the group.

Xu Lu's eyes were sharp. She raised her hand and shot out several attacks. With a loud bang, the spirit-sealing artifact exploded in mid-air, releasing a strong corpse poison.

What a vicious method!

Xu Lu had witnessed the power of the corpse poison and knew that if such an attack landed in the formation, many martial artists would likely die.

"Three Dharma Characteristics"

Su Yan's eyes flickered slightly, then he waved his hand, and more than 10,000 poisonous corpses roared in unison and rushed towards Eagle Beak City. The army was no different, and yellow sand filled the sky wherever they passed.

"How is that possible? He even has poisonous corpses."

On the city wall, Shan Wuqing, who was guarding the city, had a gloomy face: "Activate the formation!"

He immediately ordered the formation to be activated, and a large amount of spiritual energy was continuously drawn from the Yuan Stones, gradually raising the protective barriers of the city.

On the high wall, attacks began to rain down on the poisonous corpses. Large numbers of the poisonous corpses were knocked down by the True Essence Cannon and rolling stones, but even more poisonous corpses continued to crash into the protective layer.

Shan Wuqing knew that if they dragged this out, they would have no chance of winning. He took out a specially made spirit-sealing artifact and crushed it completely.

The distress signal was sent, and Shan Wuqing kept his eyes fixed on Su Yan.

Su Yan instantly noticed Shan Wuqing's gaze. The two sensed each other's aura, and the killing intent vanished in an instant.

Shan Wuqing said loudly, "What kind of tactic is it to attack a city with poisonous corpses? If you don't want casualties, do you dare to duel with me?"

Shan Wuqing tried to hold off Su Yan, but Su Yan looked up and gave him a look as if he were an idiot.

"A city-protecting formation makes you capable."

With a wave of his hand, Su Yan summoned the Molten Mountain Giant Scorpion to the battlefield. Its body was two to three hundred feet long, and its size was unbelievably large, resembling a volcano.

Shan Wuqing's expression changed drastically: "A giant spirit beast?!"

No, we can't let it breach the city.

The thought arose, and Shan Wuqing immediately sprang into action, intending to kill the Molten Mountain Giant Scorpion.

However, the giant lava scorpion had already prepared its breath attack, and with a sudden strike, it pierced through the entire barrier.
