The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 409 Northern Barbarian Assassins
"You are too strong. The Northern Barbarians cannot tolerate a genius like you in the Great Li Dynasty."

Zahemu spoke coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent, just like a wild wolf.

One Golden Body Realm martial artist and eleven Dharma Aspect Realm martial artists—such a lineup is already terrifying enough.

This is Chijiang Prefecture, not Beishan Prefecture near the Northern Barbarians. For Northern Barbarian warriors to be able to penetrate this place so deeply, especially in a group, is no simple matter.

Whether or not it can be tolerated is not up to you to decide.

"Then let's see what you've got."

A section of black cane appeared in Zahemu's hand, which he pointed at Su Yan from afar.

The momentum instantly reached its peak, and at the same time, the tide transformed into a hundred-foot-high wall, with twelve water wolves charging in.

The small boat on the Red River was as fragile as a leaf adrift on the lake in a storm.

Old Man He and the others turned pale, muttering repeatedly, "It's over, it's over."

What merit or ability does he possess? He's just a boat captain; how could he possibly get involved in the struggles of these important figures?
However, the attack had already reached Su Yan, leaving him no way to retreat.

Faced with such an attack, Su Yan showed no fear. He summoned the Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower, which spun around, its red light enveloping the entire ship and transforming it into an unshakeable, invisible wall.

bang
The surging waves crashed against the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower, unleashing a terrifying roar like thunder.

Such an attack caused water to explode and the entire Red River to surge like a raging dragon, but it could not shake the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower.

How can it be? !
Zhahemu's expression changed drastically: 'How could he, at only the Dharma Aspect Realm, so easily block my attack? Is it truly as that person said, if he grows stronger, he will become another Hong Wuji?!'

His face hardened. The Northern Barbarians would not tolerate a second Hong Wuji. Since he was in Chijiang Prefecture, this man was doomed.

Sirius howls at the moon!

Behind him, a massive Dharma image condensed, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall celestial wolf, which unleashed a terrifying attack on Su Yan. Silver light ripped through the sky, heading straight for Su Yan's main body.

At this moment, the remaining eleven Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators each summoned their Dharma Aspects and attacked Su Yan.

They wanted to finish the battle quickly and decisively, killing Su Yan cleanly and efficiently.

Su Yan's face turned cold. With a wave of his hand, the insect realm space was opened, and ferocious insects were released one after another.

The following are listed: Divine Fiend Locust, Star Shadow Demon Spider, Gold-Eating Emperor Insect, Dragon Vein Ancient Insect, Moon-Eating Insect, Giant Mountain Insect, and Soul-Eating Insect.

A series of terrifying fourth-tier auras dispersed the killing intent of these Northern Barbarian assassins.

The ferocious insects filled these people with terror.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Su Yan only released six ferocious insects; each one has at least a fourth-tier bloodline foundation. For example, the Divine Fiend Locust, the Gold-Eating Emperor Insect, and the Dragon Vein Ancient Insect are top-tier fifth-tier insects.

Each of them is among the best in the fourth tier, and now that they have unleashed their power, they have surpassed them by a significant margin.

Zahemu's face darkened, and he said in a grim tone, "Kill him!"

The northern barbarian warriors, their minds made up, charged forward with fierce expressions.

Su Yan's ferocious insects pounced directly on it, and the Divine Fiend Locust transformed into countless fiendish auras. The sky full of fiendish bees, carrying fiendish auras as sharp as needles, instantly pierced into the bodies of the two Dharma figures on the left.

They used their magical powers to resist, but little did they know the power of the evil spirits.

These malevolent energies are accumulated by the divine evil locusts, gathered from military formations, battlefields, and endless slaughter.

Once it enters the body, it's like a maggot clinging to the bone, impossible to stop.

As expected, the two Grand Dharma Aspect warriors were hit. When their Dharma Aspects came into contact with the evil energy, a layer of grayish, decaying wounds quickly appeared.

The decaying color continued to spread, and the true essence melted away rapidly in a short time, like snow falling into a raging fire.

"Wolf One!"

Upon seeing this, the Northern Barbarian assassin who was traveling with them immediately stepped forward to help.

However, Su Yan's remaining ferocious insects had already rushed up.

The Star Shadow Spider flicked its ferocious tail and immediately spat out hundreds of shadow-like spider silk threads.

Spider silk condensed, transforming into webs that isolated the eleven northern barbarian assassins from one another.

Wolf Three, wielding a curved knife, moved like a hawk taking flight, slicing through spiderwebs with his blade, about to break through the obstruction and rescue his brothers.

But before the blade could even touch the spider web, the shadow had already enveloped the feet, and a chill ran through them. The true energy covering their entire bodies seemed to be eroded in an instant.

He immediately used even more powerful true energy to break through the shadows, but the next moment the Star Shadow Spider appeared in front of him like a ghost.

The shadows, sharp as blades, crisscrossed and attacked him.

He swung his fourth-tier spirit blade to parry and slash, the clanging sound piercing his ears and startling him into a cold sweat.

In a flash, they managed to create some distance between themselves.

At this moment, the Gold-Eating Emperor Insect, the Dragon Vein Ancient Insect, the Moon-Eating Insect, and the Soul-Eating Insect erupted one after another, attacking the remaining Northern Barbarian assassins. Suddenly, the Northern Barbarian assassins who were preparing to surround and kill Su Yan found themselves in a precarious situation.

Zahemu was alarmed, his eyes fixed on Su Yan, his words revealing murderous intent: "The world has underestimated you."

Everyone knows the power of Su Yan's insect control technique, but they all only focus on a single insect.

There are very few occasions where Su Yan can use multiple ferocious insects at the same time.

However, if they all attack together, even a Golden Body Realm expert like him would probably find it troublesome.

He was a powerful expert at the second level of the Golden Body Realm, but if he asked himself honestly, if Su Yan were to attack along with these ferocious insects, he would probably find it difficult to deal with them.

Thunder and lightning!
Suddenly, lightning flashed, and purple lightning appeared behind Su Yan. His wings, sharp as knives, shot towards him like a cannonball.

"Boom"

Su Yan threw a punch, but Zhahemu, holding his staff in his right arm, crossed the barrier, creating a semi-circular wall of light.

With a single punch, the water surface trembled and waves surged.

"court death!"

Zahamu's anger also rose. No matter how powerful Su Yan was, he shouldn't have provoked him like that.

"You're so arrogant!"

The Blackwater Demon Shadow Staff unleashed a wolf-head phantom, charging towards Su Yan.

Insect skeleton and shell!

Su Yan opened his insect bone armor body, and fully activated his Poison Dragon Golden Body, Subduing Tiger King Golden Body, and Undying Rock Body. His aura continued to increase, and at this moment, he was no longer as simple as the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
He threw a punch at the wolf, whose head twisted, and its power was reduced by 20%.

Zahemu frowned slightly, and the Black Water Demon Shadow Staff continued its attack, the wolf head closing in, heading straight for Su Yan's body.

As fists clashed with staffs, Su Yan was sent flying backward.

The insect's shell shattered, and many bloody cracks immediately appeared on its right arm.

"Is it still not working?"

With a single blow, Su Yan was completely suppressed.

Although he has the ability to fight against opponents of higher levels, he is still somewhat lacking when he doesn't fully activate his other states.

The Howling Moon Wolf Dharma Form charged forward like a mountain crashing into the sea, its gaping maw about to tear Su Yan's body apart.

Su Yan activated the Heavenly Gang Demon Suppression Scripture within his body, causing his inner demons to blaze and grow wildly, while his strength also gradually increased.

Come and fight!

With the flesh and blood demonic embryo as its foundation and the indestructible core as its origin, Su Yan, relying on his physically trained body, summoned the image of the Insect Lord God and fought continuously with Zhahemu.

Each move and each strike caused a huge upheaval in the Chijiang River.

In a short time, the two had already exchanged over a hundred blows. The more Zahemu fought, the more his eyes were filled with shock, anger, and killing intent.

He clearly had the upper hand, and every strike he made injured Su Yan.

But before he could completely kill Su Yan, in the blink of an eye, he could see Su Yan's flesh and blood growing wildly, and the injuries he had just suffered healing at an outrageous speed.

Sirius Eclipses the Moon!
Zahemu bombarded again; he was desperate and had to kill Su Yan completely.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that half of the eleven wolf guards were already bound, and the remaining five were trapped like turtles in a jar.

If he doesn't kill Su Yan, the ferocious insect will be free to attack, making it even more impossible for him to defeat the monster in front of him.

Buzz

The Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower trembled continuously, transforming into barriers that blocked the attack.

That's it again!

Zahamu was furious. Every time he launched a fatal attack, it was blocked by the soldier. One after another, the insect shadow barriers descended, weakening his attacks by almost half.

Even the Blackwater Demon Shadow Staff in his hand could not penetrate the defense. Deep within the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower, an even more ancient and powerful force suppressed his attack.

"Time is up"

Su Yan's eyes lit up with golden light. At this moment, facing the rushing Howling Moon Wolf Dharma Image, he raised his hand and shot out a sword.

The Myriad Insects Devouring Star Sword, like a rainbow piercing the sun, instantly sent the Howling Moon Wolf flying.

Ferocious Insect Technique - True Spirit Transformation

Su Yan's flesh and blood healed rapidly, and the phantoms of the Blood Prison Demon Centipede, the Thunderwing Holy Spirit Insect, and the Giant Flame God Scorpion appeared behind him.

The illusory figure appeared and disappeared, and even the opposing Zahemu could not see it clearly.

But in an instant, as the power of the ferocious insects surged into Su Yan's body, Zahemu witnessed an extremely terrifying scene.

Su Yan's cultivation level is skyrocketing...

The seventh level of the Dharma Realm...

The eighth level of Dharma Realm...

The Ninefold Realm of Dharma Appearance...

Break through the realm and ascend to the golden body!
In an instant, he completed the leap to the Golden Body Realm.

At this moment, Su Yan felt as if his physical body and spirit were expanding infinitely, like an inflating balloon reaching its limit.

'The transformation of the ferocious insect into a true spirit, merging with my insect consciousness seed, insect skeleton, and bloodline blessing, has brought me to roughly the strength of the third level of the Golden Body Realm. It's a pity I only have half a quarter of an hour to do so.'

Su Yan was feeling his own power. The three-headed ferocious insect beast king was not merging with him physically, but rather his power was descending.

Even for Su Yan's current physical body, it would be far too difficult to withstand the fusion of two pseudo-saint bloodline beast kings and a fifth-order low-grade beast king.

The slightest carelessness could lead to the body exploding.

But the power that descended was already strong enough, and the connection between the ferocious insect and him could completely transcend space.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Zahemu felt like he was going crazy; Su Yan's power had completely surpassed his own.

The sky is falling!
You just punched me thirteen times.

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yan appeared in front of Zhahemu like a phantom.

not good!

Zahemu's expression changed drastically, and he swung the Black Water Demon Shadow Staff at Su Yan.

Su Yan threw a punch that struck the Black Water Demon Shadow Staff directly. The terrifying force was transmitted to Zhahemu, and the sound of bones cracking rang out instantly.

Zahemu flew backward, his body hunched over and curled up like a cooked shrimp.

Thunder and lightning!
With wind and lightning flashing around him, Su Yan appeared directly behind Zhahemu and threw another punch. This time, Zhahemu's golden body shattered, and Su Yan also grabbed the Black Water Demon Shadow Staff in his hand.

Su Yan was like a bolt of lightning, constantly flashing across the Red River, each strike landing heavily on Zhahemu's body.

After seven or eight flashes, Zhahemu was already severely injured, and he could no longer even maintain his Dharma form.

He was already trying to escape. His figure instantly transformed into a rainbow, and taking advantage of the opportunity of being blasted away by Su Yan, he was about to fly away in an instant.

However, the next moment, a dragon's shadow appeared, and the sky above the Red River had been shrouded by a barrier at some point.

how come? !

Su Yan had already set up the Nine Dragons Imprisoning Demon Cover, and this world was under his control.

puff
Su Yan grabbed with his large hand, piercing through Zahemu's flesh and blood, covering his insect-armored palm, and pinching his spine.

"We should talk about who sent you here."

Zahemu was completely incapacitated. The pain was stimulating his consciousness, but at this moment, his face was contorted with rage, and he said viciously, "Hahahaha, are you scared? The person who made me kill you is in Dali. Go find him!"

As the Moon-Eating Insect flew over, Nazahamu sensed the mental fluctuations and immediately shut down his senses, focusing his divine soul to firmly guard his sea of ​​consciousness.

Su Yan looked regretful. Once you reach the level of Dharma Aspect Realm or Golden Body Realm, unless the gap is extremely large, you simply can't use the Soul Search technique.

"If you won't tell me, then help me refine the demon."

His voice was icy cold, and the Heavenly Gang Demon Suppression Scripture was constantly circulating within his body. The overwhelming killing intent accumulated over months of tribulation was all integrated into his inner demons.

A strange true essence, like black mud, surged out and flowed into the bodies of Zahemu and the Eleven Wolf Guards.

The inner demons absorbed their vigorous life force and accelerated their manifestation. In less than a quarter of an hour, twelve more desiccated corpses appeared on the field.

The inner demon manifested, its entire body pitch black, a tall and thin humanoid shape, with no facial features except for one eye, and seven stars on its chest, all of which were demonic pupils. Its eyes darted around, instantly shooting out sharp light.

The Heavenly Gang Refines Demons, the Second Inner Demon—The Divine Eye Demon.

Before Su Yan could move, the Divine Eye Demon seemed to sense something and attacked him with a ghostly figure.

He raised his hand to strike, but before it even touched him, the Divine Eye Demon dodged first, as if divine eyes were beside him, anticipating his moves.

"It's interesting."

Su Yan smirked and directly overwhelmed the opponent with force. No matter how strong this Divine Eye Demon was, it was only barely a Golden Body.

Su Yan released the boundless Spirit Fusion Fire, drawing a circle on the ground to imprison the Divine Eye Demon's form.

With divine eyes and demonic light radiating from them, Su Yan charged forward to clash with the Ten Thousand Insects Suppressing Prison Tower.

In the exchange of blows, Su Yan unleashed his full power, but after only about thirty rounds, the Divine Eye Demon was ultimately lacking in foundation, and Su Yan shattered its head with a single strike.

The Heavenly Gang Demon Suppression Scripture was running wildly, and Su Yan was constantly absorbing the power of the Divine Eye Demon. Soon, Su Yan felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if his skin and flesh were tearing apart.

A strange and malevolent vertical pupil tore through the skin and grew out from within.

His mental power spread wildly, creating a powerful mental fluctuation that even destroyed both banks of the Red River, expanding the river channel by more than a hundred feet.

This was merely the aftershock of the initial emergence of the divine eye. With a flash of light, his divine eye swept across the entire distant river surface, and instantly, the divine light cleaved the river, revealing the pitch-black riverbed.

With divine eyes, demons vanquished, and divine powers were attained—divine eyes and divine powers.

Within Su Yan's body, true essence circulated, and his cultivation progressed smoothly. Before long, he leaped from the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm to the seventh level.

Su Yan scanned the unconscious boat captain, Old Man He, and the others, and with a sweep of the Moon-Eating Insect's mental fluctuations, erased all their memories.

With a wave of his hand, he swept up the corpses of twelve Northern Barbarian assassins and flew directly to Chijiang City.
