The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 421 More than people?
The winding, icy pool exuded a chilling aura, like an endless cold tide, enveloping everything around it.

The mountain peaks are like knives, the icy pools like prisons.

Su Yan, Zhao Wenyuan, and Fan Zhen, along with Xing Menglan, Zheng Yu, Qu Lixin, and the other three, were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in a cage.

Fan Zhen stared intently at Long Zhenyue, his eyes sharp as knives: "I'm very curious, how exactly do you manage to get a lord of the manor to work for you?"

Chen Mengke is the head of the Demon Suppression Guard. With his qualifications and abilities, he has enough to accumulate a lot of merits to exchange for and collect cultivation resources.

While the treatment provided by the Demon Suppression Guards might not guarantee Chen Meng's breakthrough to the Golden Body Realm, it certainly gives him hope.

After all, the Demon Suppression Guards are the sharpest weapon of the Great Li Dynasty. They can obtain pills for breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Realm or the Golden Body Realm, as long as you have enough merit.

At this moment, Chen Meng's face was ashen, his body completely shrouded in shadow, with only his head sticking out.

The shadow spider's head, as thin as a shadow, was right next to him, as if it could bite his head off at any moment.

Long Zhenyue looked coldly at Fan Zhen: "Why bother asking Fan Zhenfu any more questions? In any case, none of you will be leaving today."

With a wave of his hand, the icy pool swirled, and ten streams of deep blue icy energy shot out in all directions, merging with the mountain to form a massive cage.

Ten Directions of Cold Prison!

Zhao Wenyuan, Fan Zhen, and the others' expressions turned even more grim. With the formation sealing them off, escaping would likely be even more difficult.

"Come die!"

Qian Yu, the one-eyed swordsman, could no longer contain himself. Behind him, a one-eyed blood wolf appeared, and a raging sea of ​​blood coalesced into a sharp, gleaming blood blade that traversed a hundred feet and charged straight at Su Yan.

"His life is mine."

When Poison Master Lin Wuyao saw that One-Eyed Blade Qian Yu wanted to kill Su Yan, he immediately transformed into a cloud of dark green venomous snake mist and rushed straight towards Su Yan.

A foul wind blew, and a green mist pressed in.
Just a tiny bit seeped onto the water's surface, and it spread like green ink into clear water, creating a bleak green stain that instantly killed any fish or beasts in the water.

Su Yan slightly raised his eyes, glancing at the two of them without any fear on his face. The Void Shadow Spider's legs swept past his side, casting large shadows and forming a net that intercepted the Blood Wolf Slash in mid-air.

The spider silk snapped, and the blade drew near, but ultimately stopped three zhang away. The blade's edge was mottled by the shadows and was no longer effective.

Seeing this, Poison Master Lin Wuyao was overjoyed. He immediately summoned five streams of venomous winds and charged straight at Su Yan, his eyes filled with the exhilaration of finally avenging his great grudge.

"roll"

The Myriad Insects Suppressing Prison Tower appeared within Su Yan's body, its light and shadow shifting, forming an indestructible tower-shaped barrier that directly blocked his way.

The poisonous fog eroded the defenses of the Ten Thousand Insect Prison Tower with a hissing, corrosive sound.

However, when the phantom of the Blood Prison Demon Centipede appeared on the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower, the poisonous mist was completely swallowed up by the phantom, and it was unable to break through the defense of the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower.

How can it be? !
Poison Master Lin Wuyou's eyes widened, his face full of shock. He was a Golden Body Realm expert, but his attack couldn't even break through Su Yan's defense.

A surge of hatred rose within him. This boy was indeed as detestable as Yu Yun. He must be killed today, or the consequences would be dire.

Just as he was about to make a move, Su Yan raised his hand and a sword light shot out in front of him in an instant.

Poison Master Lin Wuyao was shocked. He dodged and took a few steps back, realizing that Su Yan's sword strike made him feel threatened.

The exchange of blows, though brief, startled the Golden Body Realm warriors present. Su Yan's tough stance was completely unlike that of a Dharma Aspect warrior.

The murderous intent grew stronger, and Ashina and Ashiza of northern Manchuria became even more determined to kill Su Yan.

"Let's do it together!"

"Amitabha"

A Buddhist chant instantly dispelled the murderous intent on the scene. Golden light flowed, and the peaceful old monk from the edge stepped onto the water.

"Master Ping An!"

Long Qianhui's eyes widened in fury: "Your Buddhist sect has been forced to the point of losing all face by him, why are you helping him?!"

No one expected that Su Yan had reinforcements. Now, Zen Master Ping'an's attitude clearly indicates that he is here to help Su Yan.

"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Fellow Daoist Long and others are also citizens of Dali. Why do you send children of Dali to the Northern Barbarians?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wenyuan and Fan Zhen's faces immediately darkened. How dare the damned Long family?
A child's life may not be more valuable than a sword or a blade of grass, but the significance of this matter is completely different. How could the Dali Kingdom have come to this point, selling people to foreign lands?

Humiliating the nation and its people, destroying one's own bloodline.

This is to trample the face of the entire Dali Kingdom into the ground.

"Kill them, and my Long family is willing to offer each of them a Dao weapon!"

Now that things have come to this, the Long family has no way out. The only chance of survival is to leave everyone here, but even that is just a sliver of hope.

"Fellow Daoist Long is very generous, then this old man will not stand on ceremony."

The puppeteer revealed an ugly smile, his body hunched over. With a wave of his hand, six blood-red steel needles, trailing threads, shot straight toward Su Yan.

The woman in red giggled, her twin swords flashing as her long sleeves danced like flowers: "A mere Dao weapon, what a pity, it's a waste not to be able to fully exploit this little brat."

Yang Zhen'er, the Asura Blade Master, appears to be in her late twenties, but she is an absolute old monster, over a thousand years old, and maintains her condition entirely by absorbing the essence of martial artists.

Poison Master Lin Wuyao, One-Eyed Saber Qian Yu, Puppet Master Mu Li, and Asura Saber Yang Zhen'er all had grudges against Hong Wuji's lineage. Now that they were fighting, they had no scruples and attacked Su Yan like hungry wolves.

The four members of the Long family—Long Zhenyue, Long Qianhui, Long Hanzhou, and Long Qinghai—made a joint attack. Four crimson dragon avatars soared into the sky, their eyes bloodshot and surrounded by a foul wind, truly like evil dragons descending upon the world.

"It's pointless for Xiao Wujiu to keep hiding."

Su Yan's lips curled slightly, but his words were like a thunderclap, startling the few people who were about to take action.

"Brother Su, it's not fair to drag me into this."

Xiao Wujiu, Luo Hongshao, and Chu Jinglan slowly emerged like ripples on water, their figures concealed by a layer of gray mist. Upon closer inspection, it was Xiao Wujiu's Human Emperor Banner that was being used to conceal them with his soul power.

Long Zhenyue and his group's faces had turned completely dark. What was supposed to be an ambush had turned into such a complicated situation.

"Xiao Wujiu, if you help me kill them, I will reward you handsomely."

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Xiao Wujiu touched his nose and then said, "The Nine Nether Sect still wants to live, and you'll have to ask for their opinion."

"Su Yan!"

Long Zhenyue practically gritted his teeth. With Xiao Wujiu saying this, how could they not know that all of this was Su Yan's arrangement?

"How did you know?"

“You told me yourselves.”

The smile on Su Yan's face was nothing short of mockery in Long Zhenyue's eyes. A surge of anger was suppressed in his chest, rising and falling as if burning.

He thought Su Yan was mocking them, but he didn't know that Su Yan was telling the truth.

While others would need to investigate and gather intelligence, Su Yan didn't need to go personally. With the Divine Fiend Locust present, the countless fiend bees that had branched out served as his best eyes and ears.

Since the old monk Ping An sent the message, Su Yan has released countless evil bees, covering almost the entire Chijiang County, keeping a close watch on every move on the river.

No matter how secretive the Long family's actions are, how could they possibly keep track of such an insignificant insect?
"Xiao Wujiu, the three of you hold off three of the four members of the Long family. Zhao Zhenfu, you deal with Long Zhenyue."

"Fan Zhenfu, you hold off one of the Northern Barbarians; Master Ping'an, you hold off the other one."

Su Yan quickly identified his opponents, but Ashina on the other side sneered, "Looks like you're going to deal with four of them? You really don't know your own limitations." Even if they each held off their opponents, they were now in a strong position to win.

Not to mention, the Black Soul Serpent had already entangled Su Yan's Beast King Void Shadow Spider.

"Amitabha"

Without uttering a single word, the old monk Ping An stretched out his hand and reached out with his Dragon-Capturing Hand to grab Ashiza.

Ashiza was the strongest in this battle. Although he was slightly weaker than Ashiza, he was still superior to everyone else.

Fan Zhen, Xiao Wujiu, and the other two knew that only by fighting could they have a chance to survive.

Now that they've been lured here, the Long family certainly won't let them off easily.

"Let's do it. Curiosity killed the cat. We've been outmaneuvered by Brother Su."

Xiao Wujiu, Luo Hongshao, Chu Jinglan, and Zhao Wenyuan stopped the four members of the Long family.

The Dharma images soared into the sky, and the two groups of people clashed directly, showing no intention of holding back.

Although they were three martial artists at the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, the power that Xiao Wujiu and the others unleashed surprised even Long Qinghai and Long Qianhui.

"Kill that brat."

Qian Yu only wanted to kill Su Yan to avenge himself, but weren't the other three the same?

The four summoned their respective Dharma forms, each a hundred feet tall, with golden bodies swirling around.

Behind the Poison Master Lin Wuyao, the Dharma Image resembled a venomous serpent with sinister eyes and a surging tide of poisonous energy.

Behind Qian Yu, the One-Eyed Blade, gathered a group of one-eyed blood wolves, their overwhelming blood energy surging like ten thousand blades on his body.

The puppeteer Mu Li sneered, behind him was a blue-purple double-tailed raccoon cat with a ghostly gaze that seemed to bewitch souls, its claws spread out, with countless threads faintly visible.

Behind Yang Zhen'er, the Asura Blade Demon, was a four-armed Rakshasa, as beautiful as a rose, with graceful posture but extremely dangerous.

The four men exuded an extremely powerful aura, and when they did, everyone's expressions changed simultaneously.

The puppet master Mu Li and Yang Zhen'er were actually at the fifth level of the Golden Body Realm, almost equivalent to Fan Zhen.

Xiao Wujiu and the other two's expressions changed, and a sense of unease suddenly arose in their hearts.

Admittedly, Su Yan was comparable to the Golden Body Realm, but he was facing an attack from four Golden Body Realm warriors, including one at the fifth level of the Golden Body Realm.

Let alone Su Yan, even if the three of them went in, they would all perish inside.

"Let's get serious. If Su Yan can't hold on, we'll leave."

Xiao Wujiu secretly transmitted his voice to Luo Hongshao and Chu Jinglan.

He was tricked into helping Su Yan because he thought Su Yan was a good person and a kindred spirit.

However, they had only met a few times, so their bond couldn't possibly be one of life-or-death commitment.

If we can help, we will; if we can't, we shouldn't get stuck here.

Luo Hongshao and Chu Jinglan nodded and summoned their respective Dharma forms, which were a fire phoenix and a forest of swords, respectively.

Xiao Wujiu shook out his secondary soul from the Emperor's Banner—the Ghost Slayer General. He was clad in heavy armor and wore an iron helmet. He held a knife in his left hand and a shackle in his right. With a sweeping slash, he forced Long Qianhui to retreat dozens of feet.

The three of them unleashed their full power, suppressing the Golden Body Realm martial artist from the Long family so much that he couldn't lift his head for a moment.

At this moment, both Fan Zhen and Zhao Wenyuan were unleashing their full power, fearing that Su Yan would not be able to hold on, and that if things collapsed, everyone would die.

At this moment, the four of them rushed to Su Yan's side. Qian Yu, the one-eyed swordsman, gathered his power and unleashed a hundred-foot-long blade of light.

Su Yan raised his hand and swung his sword. The Myriad Insects Eroding Star Sword transformed into a stream of light, blocking the hundred-foot-long blade of light.

The poisonous serpent from the left swooped down from above, but the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower remained unmoved. It simply pulled out the illusory image of the ferocious insect and then swallowed the poisonous mist like a whale.

Both attacks were blocked. The image of the Insect Lord God appeared behind Su Yan, a majestic god, like an ancient deity.

Everyone was shocked; Su Yan's Dharma form had actually reached such a level.

When Yang Zhen'er, the Asura Blade Demon, and Mu Li, the Puppet Master, saw this scene, one felt jealousy and the other sneered.

All the geniuses in this lineage deserve to die!
The Asura Blade swung its blade, and countless blades of light transformed into bloody roses.

Using the two-tailed raccoon cat as its foundation, the puppet master Mu Li released two puppets, one black and one white, which rushed straight towards Su Yan.

The two unleashed their full power, which was equivalent to the power of the fifth level of the Golden Body Realm.

"Boy, no matter how talented you are, you can't beat four Golden Body Realm warriors today."

The Ghost-Faced White Puppet unleashed a punch, which was blocked by the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower. However, a cracking sound rang out instantly, and cracks appeared in the defenses supported by the Ten Thousand Insects Prison Tower.

The true essence barrier shattered as quickly as glass.

Even if Su Yan were incredibly powerful, he couldn't possibly maintain such a strong defense with his own strength.

The attack from the Asura Blade followed immediately, its blade flashing and shattering the defense.

At this moment, the Void Shadow Spider had just trapped the Black Soul Serpent and had no time to rescue it. Su Yan was already facing a certain death trap, alone against four Golden Body Realm experts.

"More people? Then let's go."

The Blood Prison Demon Centipede suddenly appeared, and a surge of blood turned most of the river water blood red.

Its appearance was extremely sudden; with a single sweep of its body, it swept away Qian Yu, the one-eyed swordsman, and dragged him into the water to fight.

Damn!

Everyone was shocked, but the next moment the Thunderwing Holy Spirit Insect appeared in front of them, and wind and thunder swept through, with lightning covering the sky and enveloping the Puppet Master Mu Li.

Mu Li's eyes widened. At this moment, purple lightning roared, like thousands of venomous snakes attacking. He dared not be negligent and immediately blocked the puppet in front of him.

bang
With a single blow, the puppet shattered and proved impossible to repair.

"You scoundrel! You are such a monster!"

The two puppets were no less powerful than Taoist soldiers, yet they were destroyed here.

He reached out and grabbed at the Thunderwing Holy Spirit Insect, trying to suppress it with his strength, but the Thunderwing Holy Spirit Insect did not fight him head-on at all. With the wind and thunder raging, it was already a hundred meters away in an instant.

Only endless wind and thunder enveloped him, constantly bombarding his body.

At this moment, Yang Zhen'er was extremely vigilant. She ruthlessly swung her knife, aiming straight for Su Yan's neck. Only by killing Su Yan could she feel at ease.

She was terrified that Su Yan might cause some kind of accident, but unexpectedly, a colossal figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

The sky was filled with pillars of flame, which burned away all her sword flashes.

The giant fire scorpion swung its tail and lashed out at her.

clanging
Yang Zhen'er, wielding a knife, tried to block him, but a loud explosion rang out, sending her flying backward and crashing into the mountainside. The mountain collapsed with a deafening roar, and the sound startled everyone, causing them to turn towards Su Yan's direction.

Upon seeing this, my heart skipped a beat, and my scalp tingled.

A fifth-tier giant spirit beast?! What the hell is that monster?!
