The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 169 Wild Beasts on the Rampant
Long Qiu Shui acted swiftly and directly issued the order to attack.

Although Baishan Town was breached, the wild beasts attacking the city were not humans. Although they would destroy buildings, they would not plunder too much.

If we can quickly counterattack, we can greatly reduce the losses.

Moreover, how was Baishan Town breached and how was the city defense formation destroyed? All these things are in Baishan Town.

The eyes of Ma Tianhong, the head of the Ma family, flickered slightly. Lin Zifang of the Lin family and Zhou Yaokun of the Zhou family also showed subtle expressions.

This Master Long Qiu Shui from Guizang Valley is not that easy to deal with.

However, there is a way.

The three of them all looked at Su Yan at the same time. Although Su Yan was still a newcomer, his identity was no secret to some people.

They all have disciples in their family in the Beast King Sect, so naturally they were the first to receive the news of the changes on the Tiger Ranking.

Long Qiu Shui's disciple, the first among the new inner disciples, this is a great title.

Everyone entered the city, and Long Qiu Shui took charge of the peak city.

The leader of the Mountain Protection Army, Hao Yi, mobilized the Mountain Protection Army to assemble, which consisted of more than a thousand people. They were all warriors wearing black armor and riding black-scaled leopards. The lowest strength was at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm - the Yang Yuan Realm.

Warriors in the true realm of artistic conception make up the majority, and when combined with outer armor, this army is no less than a torrent of steel.

"Outer disciples are incorporated into the Mountain Guard Army. They can join the army in exploration and kill wild beasts, but they are not allowed to disrupt the army formation."

Hao Yi is an old man in the Mountain Protection Army. He is over fifty years old and his cultivation has already reached the fourth level of the True Realm, the Divine Integration.

I don't know how many such missions I have gone through, but I also know how to mobilize the inner and outer disciples who keep coming from the sect.

Seeing that he was busy, Su Yan did not go up to disturb him for a while.

Instead, Ma Tianhong and the other two came hand in hand: "Mr. Su."

The three of them were quite polite. Su Yan asked, "Do the three family heads recognize me?"

Ma Tianhong said, "Why wouldn't I recognize him? My nephew is on Fuyue Peak, and he's also an inner sect disciple, but he's not on the Tiger List, and he's not as skilled as Master Su who can defeat a hundred people."

Several people exchanged names, and Ma Tianhong, who reported his identity, spoke well of Su Yan.

The fancy sedan was carried by everyone. Ma Tianhong was able to run a family like the Ma family, so he must have some skills when it comes to meeting people and talking.

"Master Ma is well-informed."

Su Yan smiled and changed the subject slightly, and Ma Tianhong's expression changed slightly.

Lin Zifang, standing by, interrupted, "What do you mean by 'intelligible'? This beast tide is coming out of nowhere, and we haven't heard anything yet. I'm afraid it's the work of the Tribulation Cultivators."

"Jie Xiu?"

Su Yan showed a subtle expression, as if smiling but not smiling.

Zhou Yaokun frowned slightly. "Young Master Su, you don't know how chaotic things are outside the walls while you're in the sect. It's true there are many treasures in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but you need to be alive to take them. There are many who rob cultivators and plunder, and even plan to invade towns. After this beast tide, they'll take advantage of the situation to rob people. Young Master Su, you have to be careful."

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly and thought to himself: "It seems like a reminder, but it is actually a hint to me that none of these three guys are simple."

"What group of robbers did Patriarch Zhou think was responsible this time?"

"do not know."

Zhou Yaokun shook his head, but Lin Zifang added, "Perhaps it was the Four Tiger Bandits."

Ma Tianhong interrupted and said with a bow, "Clearing the wild beasts is bound to be messy. If any of my disciples are in danger, please help them, Master Su."

Without saying much, they each headed towards their family team.

Their number was not as large as that of the Mountain Guards, but there were still about one or two hundred of them. They were wearing armor and showed signs of training. They were a strong team.

"The families outside the wall have more ulterior motives than a hornet's nest. Junior brother, don't let them blind you."

Hao Yi's voice came from the side. At this time, he was wearing a full body of black armor, exuding a majestic aura.

"Senior Brother"

Su Yan turned his head, glanced at Hao Yi, and asked calmly: "Do you think they have a hand in the affairs of Baishan Town?"

"Yes," Hao Yi said firmly, his eyes, which had been through many battles, were as deep and majestic as a tiger.

"Hanying Peak governs four towns, covering hundreds of miles, and generates an untold amount of Yuanshi annually. With Junior Brother Bai leading the charge, and suppressing the Lin and Zhou families, and containing the Ma family, his position is incredibly hated."

Bai Pan, the head of the Bai family, died, and more than half of the main force of the family was lost.

Even if Baishan Town was taken back, according to the current strength of the Bai family, it would be impossible to run it like an iron bucket.

In other words, these three companies are sure to get a piece of the Baishan Town cake.

Although Hanying Peak is in charge of these places and collects offerings, it is impossible for it to manage them so meticulously personally.

There are too many things to do and they are too complicated, and there are not enough people, so we can only support new forces.

This time difference is enough for them to cause trouble.

"There's a difference between hating and having the guts to kill."

Su Yan said slowly. Hao Yi looked at him in surprise, his eyes darkening slightly. He nodded and said, "Master Long told me that you will form your own team and be responsible for exploring this matter. I will not distinguish you from the mountain guards. This is the sect's rule, but I will allocate a group of outer disciples for you to use."

The Mountain Guards are responsible for protecting the Beast King Sect and are only responsible to the sect.

But it doesn’t mean that one person can command everything.

Su Yan didn't care and nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Senior Brother."

When someone reminded him, he naturally appreciated the kindness.

Soon the whole team began to rush towards the outside of Fengcheng.

The mountain protection army cavalry took the lead and rushed directly towards Baishan Town outside the fortress.

The team was moving very fast, and Su Yan and others were among them.

The team marched along the way, and there were contracted beasts in the sky to lead the way for Yuying's disciples. For a moment, the mountain protection army was divided into ten groups, each led by a captain in the third level of the True Meaning Condensation Stage.

It was like a big net gradually extending into the outer area of Baishan Town.

Their mission is to eliminate most of the wild beasts and drive them out of the area of Baishan Town.

This cleaning method is like sweeping a fishing net, leaving no chance for the wild beasts.

After entering Baishan Town, such a search immediately aroused the ferocity of the wild beasts.

After discovering the mountain guards, waves of wild beasts roared and attacked.

There were dozens or even hundreds of wild beasts charging continuously, and at first glance it looked like a torrent rushing out of the mountains.

The mountain protection army was well prepared. A group of people formed a formation, their auras connected to each other, and they waved their weapons and continued to charge.

No matter how strong the wild beasts were, they could not resist the onslaught of the army formation, and the formation was gradually gathering strength. In just a few rounds, the wild beasts that rushed towards them were killed in pieces.

In just one morning, no less than thousands of wild beasts were strangled to death on the border of Baishan Town.

Hao Yi's ten mountain protection teams captured three villages and penetrated into the heart of Baishan Town like sharp knives, supporting each other and blocking the spread of wild beasts.

After doing all this, news soon came from Hao Yi that the children of the three families, the inner disciples, the outer disciples and the small team of mountain guards began to break into the hinterland.

Including Su Yan, after stepping out of the temporary camp, they immediately headed straight for Baishan Town.

……

"Long Qiushui's disciples left, heading towards Baishan Town."

In the wilderness, the heads of the Ma, Lin and Zhou families met each other, their eyes flickering and their expressions different.

Lin Zifang said, "This kid is really difficult to deal with. Who knows what will happen if he really gets to Baishan Town."

Zhou Yaokun raised his eyes slightly, a look of curiosity showing: "Why, were you responsible for the incident in Baishan Town?"

"Hmph, Zhou Yaokun, I think your Zhou family is more likely to be the one."

Lin Zifang immediately distanced himself from the matter, his eyes turning cold. He could say anything at this moment, but this was the only thing he couldn't say.

"You two are both so obsessed with fighting each other?"

Ma Tianhong's face darkened slightly and he said, "Most of the businesses outside the barrier are not clean. The sect usually doesn't have much energy to investigate. It's just raising pigs. Now that we have found a reason, none of our three families can escape." Without a reason, the Beast King Sect would not make a big fuss.

But this time, whether they did it or not, they will bleed profusely.

"What should I do? Could it be..."

Lin Zifang showed a cruel look, and Zhou Yaokun's face changed: "If you want to die, don't drag me into it."

"Old Three, give me a gift first."

Ma Tianhong glanced at the two of them, his eyes suppressing them, and then decided the matter.

In these turbulent times, life is not easy for these families outside the wall.

……

Su Yan entered the wilderness and mountains surrounding Baishan Town. Although he knew where Baishan Town was, after entering, he discovered that the number of wild beasts roaming and wreaking havoc was far greater than he had expected.

He had only walked two or three miles when he was attacked by no less than ten wild beasts. If he had not avoided them, he would have even run into a group of wild beasts moving like a torrent.

Su Yan directly summoned the six-winged blood centipede, along with the shadow-horned spider.

At this time, after several days of feeding, the shadow-horned spider has grown a lot larger.

It was originally no bigger than a head, but now it has grown into a giant black spider that is ten feet long.

Su Yan used the Shadow Horn Spider as a mount and sat on its back.

When a wild beast attacked, the black shadows under the shadow-horned spider's limbs moved, and suddenly several thread-like shadows rose up, blocking the attacking wild beast in front of it.

The shadow-horned spider pounced forward, and its shadow turned into a sharp blade on its limbs, instantly piercing through its prey.

Su Yan was controlling the shadow-horned spider, and he couldn't help but feel delighted when he saw it controlling several wild beasts around it in one go.

At this time, the shadow-horned spider is no longer in a larval state. After replenishing sufficient energy, it is now entering adulthood and has officially entered the nascent stage.

Su Yan fought for a while, and soon he had killed seven or eight wild beasts, including some early second-stage wild beasts.

"Click"

With a clear sound, Su Yan's eyes focused, and someone in the bushes suddenly pulled out a short knife, and the true energy flowed straight to Su Yan's eyebrows.

Su Yan acted decisively and with a strike of the Demonic Scorpion Spear in his hand, he instantly knocked the short knife away.

"get out!"

He stared at the bushes, and suddenly two people jumped out from the bushes and attacked Su Yan from left and right.

The true meaning gathered on the body, and at the end were two ferocious evil rats with bloodshot eyes and sharp claws. They merged with the short knife and cut out a ten-meter sharp edge.

The six-winged blood centipede coiled in front, spitting out venom like sharp arrows from its mouth, and rushed straight towards the two people who were attacking it.

The two men attacked separately and were already two or three feet apart.

But when this venom hits, it doesn't care about the distance between you, and goes straight to the eyebrows of the two of you.

The two men's faces changed drastically and they dodged, and the venom fell to the ground with a loud sizzling sound.

The six-winged blood centipede was relentless and charged forward with its huge body.

The two men fought each other, each shocked, and gritted their teeth to resist the attack of the six-winged blood centipede.

"This is a tricky idea. How come these sect disciples are so powerful?"

The more frightened you are, the more difficult it is to cope with it.

The two of them glanced at the bushes and shouted, "Why don't you do it?"

A rich, light fragrance floated above the battlefield. Su Yan smelled the fragrance and his face changed slightly.

"poisonous"

"Don't do it yet!"

The duo of thieves shouted loudly, and suddenly a third person rushed out from the side.

The man was hiding underground for a long time. Then a ferocious giant rat with orange-yellow sharp teeth and two heads pounced on him.

His sword strike was like a cold ray slicing the moon, several times faster than Qing Tianyi's sword.

However, Su Yan reached out and grabbed it, and with a clang, the back of the knife was already in his hand.

The man's face changed drastically.

Su Yan's eyes were cold as he looked at the skinny and pale face of the man who was attacking him. "You want to sneak attack, but you also want to leave?"

He chopped down with one hand, and the man drew his sword to block it.

Suddenly, there was a clanging sound, and the blade was forged by a hammer as if it had been re-forged.

The attacker flew backwards, and Su Yan stepped forward and shot him through the shoulder.

The remaining two people, seeing that the situation was not going well, were about to scatter like birds and beasts.

However, just as he started to move, he suddenly found countless black threads entangled under his feet.

The two men were about to escape when they suddenly stopped and were pulled to the ground.

"Please spare our lives. We are willing to live in exchange for Yuanshi."

The two begged for mercy quickly, but Su Yan just thought about it, and the six-winged blood centipede's arthropods pierced through their shoulders like spears, pinning them to the ground.

"If you want to survive, you don't have enough Yuanshi. How many of you are here?"

The three of them looked miserable. The eldest brother, Pei Xing, immediately said, "Three, only three. We are independent cultivators, not disciples of the Demonic Sect."

Pei Xing's reaction was not slow, and he had no intention of hiding anything here.

Falsifying the number of people will not allow you to survive, it will only attract more people from the Beast King Sect.

Su Yan showed a look of loss. It was possible that three people would not be able to dig out anything.

"Sir, we are willing to serve you, and we only hope..."

"Baishan Town was attacked. Tell me everything you three know. If I'm satisfied, I'll spare your lives."

Su Yan suddenly had an idea and asked about Baishan Town without asking anything else.

When Pei Xing heard this, his face fell.

"Sir, I really don't know how to tell the difference."

puff!

With a dull thud, the six-winged blood centipede inserted its entire leg into the chest of the young man next to it.

"Wang Hongyan!"

Pei Xing's face suddenly changed, and Su Yan watched the blood gushing out without any reaction.

"Tell me, if they can set up an ambush here, there's no way they don't have any information."

"We really just wanted to make some extra money."

Su Yan shook his head slightly. Pei Xing's eyes trembled slightly, and he immediately said, "I heard that someone has made a hidden offer to kill disciples of the Ma, Lin, and Zhou families in exchange for Yuanshi. All the robbery cultivators within a radius of hundreds of miles have received the news."

"Kill three families?"

Su Yan raised his eyes: "Where are the Beast King Sect disciples?"

Pei Xing's eyes flickered. "Yes... yes. Sir, we are possessed by evil spirits. Please let us go."

"Who gave the reward?"

"The Way of the Holy Soldier"

puff
After Su Yan finished asking the question, he pierced Pei Xing's throat with a sword.

"Holy Soldier Dao?"
