The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 399 The Battle for the Dragon and Tiger List Begins
"A fifth-tier beast king. With the Blood Prison Demon Centipede's strength, even a fourth-level Golden Body Realm cultivator shouldn't be able to stop me. If I add other ferocious insects, I might be able to deal with even stronger Golden Body Realm cultivators."

Su Yan was capable of fighting beyond his level, but no matter how far he fought, he would ultimately be suppressed by the Golden Body Realm warriors with their realm and understanding of the laws of the Golden Body Realm.

No matter how strong the Dharma image is, it is difficult to compare with the strength of the golden body.

But things are different now.

With the Blood Prison Demon Centipede as his trump card, Su Yan will be more confident in his actions and will be able to collect molted items more boldly.

[Tier 5 Insect Lord: 52300/1000000]

[Sixth Heaven of the Dharma Aspect Realm 122/200 (Minor Success)]

[Insect Realm Space: 100 cubic meters]

【Characteristics: Insect-like body, Seed of Insect Consciousness, Bloodline Gift, Undying Core】

……

【Blood Prison Demon Centipede: 1/100 (Early Stage)】

【Molten Giant Scorpion: 0/3 (Evolution Stage)】

【Demon Locust: 213/400 (Mature Stage)】

【Star Shadow Spider: 198/200 (Growth Stage)】

[Gold-eating Emperor Beetle: 23/100 (Early Stage)]

[Dragon Crystal Queen Ant: 231/400 (Mature Stage)]

【Dragon Vein Ancient Insect: 21/100 (Early Stage)】

[Wind and Thunder Insect: 1/3 (Evolution Stage)]

[Ancient Spirit Insect: 22/400 (Mature Stage)]

【Spring and Autumn Withering and Flourishing Insect: 32/400 (Mature Stage)】

[Eclipse Bug: 198/400 (Mature Stage)]

[Giant Mountain Worm: 1/100 (Early Stage)]

【Soul-Eating Insects: 1/100 (Early Stage)】

"A sixth-tier insect master requires nearly a million experience points. Without the transformation of ferocious insects, it will probably take a long time to complete."

As he was pondering, Su Yan suddenly sensed several powerful auras rising outside the Dragon Mansion, auras that were no less than those of Long Qiujian and the others.

He frowned slightly: "Trouble is brewing."
-
Outside the Dragon Mansion, two people stood facing each other in front of the mansion.

"Brother Long, it was wrong of me to come here so abruptly. I have no ill intentions, I just want to meet the Marquis of Champion and learn a thing or two from him."

The man's eyebrows were like sword strokes, and his eyes were like knives; standing there, he resembled a domineering longsword.

He was dressed in black armor, with a sword at his waist, his back straight as bamboo, and his aura was naturally not weak.

"Ask for some pointers? Brother Jia, you make it sound so easy. You blocked the door of the Long family and even tried to beat up members of the Long family. I'm afraid that's not just asking for some pointers."

No.

Before Jia Yuntao could speak, the man dressed as a wandering swordsman, who was standing not far from him, walked over with a sword in hand.

"The champion marquis's surname is not Long."

Long Qiujian raised his eyes and gave Zhao Wuchang, the chief constable of Wangcheng Prefecture, a cold look before saying, "You're quite good at twisting the truth. My little sister's disciple, how can she not be a member of the Long family? If you think she isn't, you're welcome to barge into my Long family and ask him for your opinion."

Zhao Wuchang's face darkened, but he dared not barge in.

Admittedly, he and Jia Yuntao, among others, all possessed the strength of the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, making them top-tier martial arts masters.

He is actually much stronger than Long Qiujian.

However, the pillar of the Long family is Old Master Long Qing, that hot-tempered old general who is an outstanding figure even among those in the Golden Body Realm.

Within the royal city, apart from the Martial Saint, probably no one can easily restrain him.

Breaking in?

They didn't want to offend such a powerful expert at the Golden Body Realm.

Moreover, they came for the Dragon Gate Ranking, not to kill.

"Now that the Dragon Gate Ranking has been set, the Champion Marquis, with his sixth-level Dharma Aspect Realm cultivation, ranks fifth on the Dragon Gate Ranking. We are merely curious about the Champion Marquis's abilities. With the Dragon Gate Ranking now in place, we can't just avoid the challenge, can we?"

The Qintian Academy was devoid of flowers. He was dressed in white, with black hair flowing like a waterfall, and in his hand he held a crimson spear.

While the disciples of the royal city are many talented individuals, those in the imperial court do not represent the whole picture.

Those who are devoted to martial arts are still in the Jianghu. Among those who have come now are Luo Wuhua from Qintian Academy, Jia Yuntao from Shenbinglou, and Zhao Wuchang, the Divine Constable of Wangcheng.

Besides the three, there were many martial arts practitioners among the spectators.

Several days after the Dragon Gate Ranking was posted, the names of the thirty-three young Dharma Masters on the list spread throughout the north and south of the country. Battles between those ranked 20th and below had already taken place several times. Among the people before them were Luo Wuhua, ranked 30th, as well as Jia Yuntao, Zhao Wuchang, and others who were outside the Dragon Gate Ranking.

Rankings are certainly useful, but for many people, the true ranking can only be known by actually playing the game.

In the past, on the Dragon Gate Ranking, there was a person who was outside the rankings, but fought his way up from thirty-third to first place, directly breaking through to the Golden Body Realm and achieving the Supreme Golden Body.

Such a feat only fuels people's fighting spirit to challenge the Dragon Gate Ranking.

Long Qiujian frowned. Three days had passed, and now those who wanted to watch the show, those who wanted to observe, and those who wanted to challenge him had all gathered at the entrance.

If they continue to refuse, that's fine, but no one would dare to storm into the Dragon Palace just to take on the challenge.

But if this drags on, Su Yan's reputation might suffer.

"I have already stated that the Marquis of Champion is in seclusion. By forcing martial artists out of seclusion, do you intend to fight to the death?"

Long Qiujian's words were very serious, and the expressions of the others changed slightly.

Forcing someone out of seclusion is tantamount to cutting off their path to liberation, and it could very well lead to a fight to the death.

"Since he's in seclusion, I'll just wait."

Jia Yuntao stood in front of the door, holding his long sword, but he didn't seem to intend to force anyone.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that a young man had appeared next to Long Qiujian. The man's eyes were calm and indifferent as he glanced at everyone present.

"Champion Marquis!"

All eyes were fixed on Su Yan like sharp arrows.

"Jia Yuntao of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, at the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, challenges Champion Marquis. Please enlighten me, Champion Marquis."

Excitement flashed in Jia Yuntao's eyes, which quickly turned into intense fighting spirit.

The long sword clanged as it was held in his hand, like the roar of a dragon.

Su Yan shook his head slightly, and Jia Yuntao's face darkened: "Does the Marquis of Champion look down on me?"

"You all come at me together, that will save some time."

Su Yan's words were like a thunderclap, turning Luo Wuhua and the others' faces ashen with anger.

“What a big mouth”

Luo Wuhua coldly said, "Even Li Zhanhai wouldn't dare to say such a thing."

Su Yan merely glanced around, and immediately a crimson expanse appeared behind them. A terrifying, bloody aura, like a heavy ocean, pressed down on them.

In an instant, they suddenly felt suffocated and immediately released their true intentions.

Luo Wuhua's White Leopard Spirit Venerable, Jia Yuntao's Black Sand Extreme Blade Beast, Zhao Wuchang's Flame Demon Spirit Ape, along with the four Dharma Aspect Realm warriors hidden on the rooftops and at the end of the alleys, were also forced by Su Yan to release their Dharma Aspects.

In an instant, the streets outside the Dragon Mansion were filled with towering statues, their imposing presence reaching the heavens, all clashing with the oppressive aura released by Su Yan.

"Ten Forms of Black Kill!"

Jia Yuntao made a direct move, attempting to sever the crimson aura behind Su Yan.

His attacks were incredibly fast; the light of his blade seemed to be even slower than the blade itself, completely left behind.

This is a visual afterimage; the real blade, imbued with true energy, has already arrived before Su Yan.

However, at this moment, the blood energy thickened, turning into a sky full of blood mist, which instantly condensed into a half-body phantom of the Blood Prison Heavenly Demon Centipede.

A terrifying red light swept in, piercing straight through the blade and penetrating Jia Yuntao's body.

A sharp pain shot through his body, and in an instant, his true essence was being drained away, as if a water tank had been broken. In the blink of an eye, his true essence was completely depleted.

Luo Wuhua, Zhao Wuchang, and the other six Dharma Aspects wanted to help, but as soon as they moved, the Blood Prison Heavenly Demon Centipede spread across the battlefield.

Although it was just a phantom released by Su Yan, countless streams of blood turned into mist, directly trapping them.

In a short while, Luo Wuhua and the others lost their fighting ability. Their faces turned ashen, and the blood vessels around their bodies turned a strange purplish-red, like a spider web on a human body.

"useless"

Su Yan's gaze swept over the scene, and the illusory image of the Blood Prison Heavenly Demon Centipede behind him gradually dissipated.

"If you still want to challenge me, then you'll have to get past my monstrous insect first."

He pointed his finger, and the Wind and Thunder Insect, riding on purple arcs of electricity, appeared before him.

As soon as the thunder worm appeared, thunder rumbled in the sky, even though it was broad daylight and cloudless just a moment ago.

But now, thunder rumbled across the sky, and arcs of electricity intertwined on the wind and thunder insects, emanating a powerful aura that astonished Jia Yuntao and the others.

"I will only keep the Wind and Thunder Insect for three days. If it does not meet the requirements, defeat it and then come to find me."
