The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 427 The Mountain Dark Sect's Scheme

The three of them tensed up upon hearing Su Yan's words.

The divine sense probed into the thin mist, and at this moment, on the Sea of ​​Evil Souls, a pitch-black island sat on the sea surface.

The four elders of the Mountain Darkness Sect set up a grand formation, with a compass spinning rapidly in the center, and four large flags radiating waves of light from the island.

As the thin fog gradually dissipated, the techniques they employed allowed them to better discover hidden objects within the mist.

"Roar"

The huge commotion undoubtedly attracted the attention of the demons in the Sea of ​​Fiends. The dark waters of the Sea of ​​Fiends surged, and soon the enormous bodies of several fourth-order demons emerged from the sea.

"Jin Hui, you guys go deal with them."

"Yes, elder."

Jin Hui of the Mountain Nether Sect, together with Zheng Zizhan beside him, made a move and summoned the Dharma Image behind them, which was in human form.

The Dharma Image was faceless and eyeless, holding a sword in its hand, and its imposing aura immediately pressed down on the demon.

The fourth-tier monster, resembling a demonic whale, opened its blood-red maw and launched a direct attack.

"The Sword of Soul Reaper!"

Jin Hui sneered, showing no concern whatsoever. He directly unleashed a sword strike from his Martial Soul Dharma Image, the black light piercing the sun and piercing through the Demon Whale.

As their commotion grew louder, they attracted more and more monsters.

However, Jin Hui, Zheng Zizhan, Zhong Lishan, Qiu Zifeng, and Mo Xuanfeng are all outstanding figures of the Shanming Sect in this generation, with Jin Hui and Zhong Lishan even being listed on the Dragon Gate Ranking.

One is ranked fourteenth on the Dragon Gate Ranking, and the other is ranked twenty-first; both are formidable opponents.

The four of them joined forces and quickly killed many demons, reaping a considerable harvest.

The four elders, Yan, Wu, Liu, and Zhong, who were like old monks in deep meditation, frowned slightly, revealing their dissatisfaction.

"The remnant soul of the Martial Saint is nowhere to be found. Let's break through the island's restrictions first, and then see where it's hiding?"

With Elder Yan in charge, the area they were exploring had been expanding, and the outline of the entire vast island was gradually coming under their perception.

However, they still haven't found their main target.

"Bombardment, even if we don't find the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, given the size of this island, it's highly likely that we'll find the Yama's Decree."

Elder Wu was even more decisive. With four Golden Body Realm experts and the support of an array, dealing with any Martial Saint remnant soul was no problem at all.

The four began to manipulate the formation, and their combined power eventually formed a humanoid Dharma image.

The pitch-black humanoid figure was three hundred feet tall, holding a sturdy long spear, which it aimed at the island.

bang
With a single bombardment, a semi-circular barrier immediately appeared on the island, intercepting the powerful attack.

Meanwhile, the four people in the mist all chose to remain still.

Attacking the island ruins is a good idea; if we get any loot, we can make our move later.

Xiao Wujiu held the Emperor's Banner in his hand and quietly blocked the road leading to the depths of the Sea of ​​Evil Souls.

He secretly transmitted his voice to the three of them and said, "Elder Yan and Elder Wu of the Mountain Nether Sect are skilled in soul control techniques and can use soul puppets to fight. I will deal with them."

Chu Jinglan nodded slightly: "I'll deal with Jin Hui and those Dharma Aspects."

Luo Hongshao caught a glimpse of the only female elder, Liu Hongxia, out of the corner of her eye, and said, "I'll deal with that old woman."

The remaining person, needless to say, was Su Yan, who dealt with Elder Zhong.

At this moment, the four elders continued their bombardment, and suddenly the island barrier finally cracked open, revealing the entire island's appearance clearly to everyone.

Elder Liu took a closer look and immediately showed a look of great joy.

Atop a rock pillar in the center of the island, a bowl of golden liquid rests.

"Holy Soul Liquid!"

Just then, the island trembled violently, and a huge rock giant rose from the ground. It was pitch black, hundreds of feet tall, and had a powerful aura, clearly indicating the strength of a fifth-tier being.

At this moment, two Yama King Tokens were gleamingly imprisoned within the core of his body.

As soon as it appeared, it opened its huge mouth and bombarded the four of them.

Elder Yan manipulated the compass, and golden light flowed, transforming into a barrier that completely blocked the energy beam.

"I'll hold it off, you guys take the Holy Soul Liquid first..."

Before the words had even finished, Elder Yan's expression suddenly changed: "Who goes there!"

With the appearance of both the Holy Soul Liquid and the Yama King's Decree, Elder Yan activated his full array and, with a powerful sweep of divine sense, immediately realized that something was amiss.

"Discovered."

Xiao Wujiu, Luo Hongshao, Chu Jinglan, and Su Yan no longer concealed themselves.

Xiao Wujiu waved the Emperor Banner, and a Golden Body Realm Ghost General, who had been preparing for a long time, rushed towards the Holy Soul Liquid in an instant.

At this moment, Elder Yan, Elder Wu, and the other three never expected that such an expert would be lying in ambush here. They could only watch helplessly as the black shadow, carrying the Holy Soul Liquid, rushed out of the island.

As the Holy Soul Liquid disappeared, the Black Rock Giant went berserk. However, the array was now surrounding it, which instead restrained the power of the four people.

However, Jin Hui and Zhong Lishan realized what was happening and immediately intercepted the ghost general.

For a moment, Xiao Wujiu, Luo Hongshao, Chu Jinglan, and Su Yan confronted them on the island.

"Xiao Wujiu!"

The Nine Nether Sect's methods were recognized by the other party in an instant.

At this moment, the members of the Mountain Darkness Sect were burning with rage, their gazes like knives scraping at the four men.

"The Holy Soul Liquid is destined for us, and so is this Yama King's Decree. How about we ask the fellow Daoists of the Mountain Underworld Sect to make way for it?"

Xiao Wujiu showed absolutely no embarrassment.

As he said, the opportunities in this secret realm are naturally reserved for those who are destined to be there, and it's not a matter of first come, first served.

"We'll have to see what you're capable of!"

Jin Hui immediately brandished his longsword and charged straight at Xiao Wujiu, his martial spirit surging towards him.

Xiao Wujiu remained calm and unhurried, shaking the Emperor's Banner, and another fifth-tier ghost general jumped out, bearing a resemblance to Long Zhenyue.

As soon as the ghost general appeared, he directly swung a punch to block the sword energy.

Jin Hui's sword aura trembled, and he was actually half a step behind. At this moment, his face darkened, and he looked at Xiao Wujiu with displeasure.

"Do it!"

Zheng Zizhan, Zhong Lishan, Qiu Zifeng, and Mo Xuan attacked together, their sword energy and techniques blooming like black ink flowers, bombarding everything in their path.

Chu Jinglan was not afraid of these people at all. With sword energy crisscrossing behind him, he charged forward with his sword, trapping them all in his battle.

Although their opponents had changed, Xiao Wujiu clearly knew he couldn't hold back. He summoned a fifth-tier ghost general and two top-tier fourth-tier ghost generals. The Human Emperor Banner billowed with black energy, and more ghost cavalry charged out.

Jin Hui's expression changed drastically. He could feel the pressure now. Although he also had considerable combat strength, he had not expected Xiao Wujiu to have reached this level.

"The Nine Nether Sect is truly despicable."

Liu Hongxia released a jet-black dagger directly at Xiao Wujiu.

Luo Hongshao summoned her Fire Phoenix Dharma Form, which directly intercepted the dagger.

Liu Hongxia's face darkened. At this moment, the Black Rock Giant was launching another violent attack, relentlessly bombarding the four-person formation. Elder Yan, Elder Wu, and the other two were truly stubborn and caught between two conflicting ideas. He made a decisive decision and said directly, "Kill the four of them, and ignore the Yama King's Decree for now."

"it is good"

All four were seasoned veterans. They immediately activated the formation, and the fifth-tier Black Rock Giant leaped from the island, attacking everyone around them without distinguishing friend from foe.

In the ensuing chaos, Elder Yan and Elder Wu immediately took control of the formation and launched an attack on the group.

Xiao Wujiu's ghost general charged straight at the two of them, while the ghost general holding the Holy Soul Liquid charged straight at Su Yan.

"Fellow Daoist Su, take the Holy Soul Liquid."

The Holy Soul Liquid landed directly in Su Yan's hands, and the Ghost General charged straight at Elder Wu.

Xiao Wujiu and his two ghost generals blocked Jin Hui and Elder Wu's group.

The true energy within his body was operating at its limit, but it was enough to prolong the battle.

Elder Zhong's eyes revealed a greedy look, especially since he was alone and no one was stopping him; it was only right that the Holy Soul Liquid should fall into his hands.

A humanoid ghostly figure lunged at him from behind, ignoring the berserk Black Rock Giant, and shouted sternly, "Boy, hand over the Holy Soul Liquid!"

The pitch-black claws transformed into a hundred-foot-long object, heading straight for Su Yan.

Su Yan raised his eyes, his body instantly covered in insect bone armor, and divine eyes appeared on his forehead. His heart flame had already detected the greed and emotional fluctuations of this so-called Elder Zhong.

Dragon-Capturing Hand!
Su Yan directly unleashed a Dragon-Capturing Hand technique, which collided with the pitch-black claw.

The Blood Demon Hand moved silently, but the moment it touched the Black Soul Claw, it immediately shattered, and the true essence dissipated rapidly after being divided.

How can it be! ?
Elder Zhong was surprised that the young man in front of him had such combat power. Not only did he withstand his attack, but he also had a special power that neutralized his attack.

At this moment, he realized that Su Yan was no ordinary person. A short, black halberd appeared in his hand, and he slashed down directly, using an attack to forcefully break through Su Yan's strange methods.

"Demon Locust"

A surge of malevolent energy erupted, and countless malevolent bees transformed into a crimson tornado of malevolent energy, instantly intercepting Elder Zhong on the sea of ​​malevolent souls.

Elder Zhong's expression changed drastically, and he unleashed countless slashes with his short halberd, attempting to break through the swirling dragons of evil bees.

However, no matter how powerful the attack was, there was no way to kill all the evil bees.

The Divine Fiend Locust condensed its true form, and its fiendish aura, like countless shackles, directly entangled Elder Zhong's body.

The moment Elder Zhong made contact, his true essence was rapidly corrupted. The Dharma image behind him resisted, but the Divine Fiend Locust, in its hundred-foot form, swung its claws, its fiendish energy forming blades, and directly severed the Dharma image.

Elder Zhong suffered a backlash; his internal true essence trembled, further weakening him, and he was directly eroded by the baleful energy.

Before he could get there, a bloody hand grabbed him, the evil bee vanished, and was directly held in its hand.

not good!

Elder Zhong's face turned deathly pale. He fully activated the Blood Demon Hand technique, but in an instant, his physical body began to collapse, his flesh and blood disintegrating and his true essence disappearing.

"No!"

Elder Zhong only had time to let out a wail before he was severely injured and fell unconscious. He was not dead yet, only because Su Yan had not yet used his full power to kill him.

The Black Rock Giant sensed the threat posed by Su Yan and attacked frantically, its massive hand trying to crush Su Yan in its grasp.

Su Yan caught a glimpse of the Blood Demon Hand descending from above, directly suppressing the incredibly hard rock, which was gradually crumbling under its attack.

The Black Rock Giant had no chance to resist and was crushed by Su Yan.

Having killed a Golden Body Realm cultivator and a fifth-tier demon in succession, the terrifying aura of the Divine Fiend Locust instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Fellow Daoists of the Mountain Darkness Sect, I think it's time to calm down, isn't it?"

The dramatic change on the field forced everyone to stop fighting.

If Su Yan is merely engaging in prolonged combat, then there is still room for maneuver.

However, Su Yan's swift and decisive defeat of two fifth-tier combatants meant that if Su Yan joined the battlefield, it would mean that they would lose even more people.

Elder Yan's face turned ashen, knowing that all was lost: "What ruthless methods! The Yama's Decree and the Holy Soul Liquid are yours now. Release Elder Zhong."

With a wave of his hand, Elder Zhong was thrown directly in front of Elder Yan, and Su Yan's eyes swept over the group.

He did want to kill him to silence him, but it wasn't worth it.

The Mountain Darkness Sect also has Martial Saint-level experts. If we kill them indiscriminately, it will not only consume more energy, but also make us enemies with the Mountain Darkness Sect to the death.

"Fellow Daoist, would you dare to leave your name?"

"Demon Suppressor Su Yan"

"The Marquis of Champion?!"

The expressions of the Shanming Sect members changed drastically; they hadn't expected that the legendary person would possess such combat power.

"go!"

Elder Yan and the others immediately left with Elder Zhong. Although they were resentful, Su Yan was so powerful that they had no chance of gaining the upper hand.

Seeing that everyone had left, the four of them finally landed on the island.

"Fellow Daoist Su has made progress again. The Dragon Gate Ranking probably underestimated you back then."

Although they already knew how powerful Su Yan was, Xiao Wujiu and the other two were still pleasantly surprised to see him make a move again.

On this Dragon Gate Ranking, Su Yan should be placed in a separate category. According to Xiao Wujiu and Luo Hongshao's estimates, even the geniuses from holy lands such as the Dayan Dao Sect and the Changsheng Pavilion might not be able to compare to Su Yan.

"As agreed, Lord Yama decrees that Fellow Daoist Luo shall take one, and I shall take one for myself."

Su Yan tossed a Yama King's Token to Luo Hongshao, and none of the three present objected.

However, there's something else to say about the Holy Soul Liquid.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, you'll get the Sacred Soul Liquid first. How do you suggest we divide it?"

Xiao Wujiu said, "The reason we were able to snatch the Holy Soul Liquid wasn't because I got there first, but because of the combined power of everyone's data. If Fellow Daoist Su has no objections, how about we divide it equally?"

"Can"

The four of them worked together smoothly, and there was no need for them to have any conflicts over the Holy Soul Liquid.

Su Yan divided the Holy Soul Liquid into four portions and took one portion for each of them.

If this material alone were put up for auction, it would probably fetch at least 500 million shi.

"The Mountain Darkness Sect came for the remnant soul of the Martial Saint, but they found nothing just now. I'm afraid the remnant soul of the Martial Saint has also undergone some changes."

Xiao Wujiu's expression was actually not very good. If the remnant soul of the Martial Saint changed, it would mean that they would probably be in even more trouble today.

"Fellow Daoist Su, is there any other way to deal with the Soul-Devouring Insects?"

Su Yan frowned slightly, then said, "It's worth a try. Since it's in this vicinity, the Soul-Devouring Insects should be able to find traces of it."

After saying that, Su Yan divided the Divine Fiend Locust into thousands of fiend bees, which spread outwards to explore the surrounding environment little by little.

The Mountain Nether Sect retreated extremely quickly and had already disappeared from the exploration area.

Then he released the Soul-Eating Insects and with a thought, he decided to "search for the remnant souls of Martial Saints."

Hiss
The Soul-Eating Insects instantly flew out, seemingly having discovered some clues, and plunged into the mist, heading straight in one direction.
