The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 189 Invitation to Battle

At the foot of the White Python Peak, Su Yan rode the Shadow Horn Spider along the mountain path.

The disciples along the way looked at the newcomer in surprise, but Su Yan ignored them and went all the way to the training ground before stopping.

Su Yan saw Zhao Yian in the crowd.

The invitation to fight in his hand flew out like a dart.

Zhao Yian reacted suddenly and caught the post that was shot towards him.

"Junior Brother Su, what do you mean?"

"You know me? Hello there."

Zhao Yian is from the Qing family, so he must have received the message and naturally knew Su Yan.

"Invitation to a battle, climbing the leaderboard, do you want to accept the invitation, Senior Brother?"

Zhao Yian was stunned, but rather a little bit incredulous: "You've only made it to the 200th place, do you know my ranking?"

"169th place, not too high, not too low, just right. If you don't dare, I'll offer a reward: thirty Guiyi Yuandan."

hiss!
One Guiyi Yuandan costs at least 310 Yuanshi. Su Yan used 30 of them, which is almost 110,000 Yuanshi. This is not a small amount.

The stakes of this challenge are even higher.

Zhao Yian had doubts in his heart, but his stubbornness ended up in a dilemma, making it difficult to back down.

If he doesn't accept the challenge, Zhao Yian's reputation will be ruined.

At the very least, you will be branded as timid and cowardly.

If I accept it, I don’t know what means Su Yan has prepared.

As more and more people gathered, Zhao Yian gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "I promise. I hope my junior brother won't lose too quickly."

Zhao Yian agreed and jumped to the center of the training ground.

Many disciples from Baimang Peak immediately gathered around, their eyes full of eagerness and curiosity. They didn't expect that a disciple from the Tiger List would suddenly invite them to a fight.

Su Yan took a step forward and came to the center of the field.

"Release your contracted beast and true meaning, otherwise there will be no chance."

When Su Yan said this, many people were shocked.

How dare he?
Especially Zhao Yian, who laughed out loud in anger: "You don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."

He was very angry at the moment, and at the same time he wanted to take this opportunity to severely injure Su Yan.

He waved his hand, and suddenly a white-scaled anaconda appeared in front of him. It was several feet long and its body was like a water tank.

Behind him, the true meaning of the white python emerged, and the two of them attacked left and right, heading straight for Su Yan.

Seeing his method, Su Yan smiled faintly, then clenched his fist and attacked directly.

A punch as big as a millstone was thrown out, and the shadows of the Star-Moon Centipede and the Green-Scaled Poisonous Dragon were attached to the fist.

"boom"

With a dull thud, the White Python True Meaning and the White Scaled Anaconda were directly knocked away by his punch.

Exclamations came and went.

How can it be?

Zhao Yian is already a warrior in the third realm of the True Realm, and has achieved great success.

How could he lose in the first competition when he had learned one or two martial arts?

Not only did the onlookers not understand, but Zhao Yian, the person involved, was filled with fear.

The power of that punch just now was no less than that of any martial artist who had reached the third level or even the perfection level.

This guy usually hides his abilities!
Zhao Yian immediately flew over with the long sword in his hand and the white-scaled boa constrictor.

The White Python sword danced like a silver net, attacking Su Yan tightly.

Su Yan raised his eyes slightly, and the true energy in his body condensed. As the Heavenly Python Dharma Body appeared, a black python broke the sword light approaching his body.

The strong body made Zhao Yian even more wary.

"The spiritual power of the Insect Seed is added to the attack, making it far more powerful than ordinary attack methods."

Su Yan used Zhao Yian as a whetstone to hone his new moves.

True intention attacks originate from true intention. The stronger the true intention, the more powerful the martial arts will be.

But fundamentally, the source of true power is blood, true essence and spirit.

The seed of insect consciousness is the most fundamental and powerful spiritual force.

"So, we're doomed to fail."

Su Yan concentrated his mind, activated the power of the insect consciousness seed, and his mental power spread wildly, converging into his true intention.

The Poison Star Ape appeared, Su Yan raised his hand and shouted softly: "Open the mountain!"

A punch split the mountain, and a huge fist gathered in front of him.

Zhao Yian's true intention gathered and attached itself to the sword light. He swung the sword heavily, trying to block the attack of the punch.

However, the Poison Star Ape's punch was like a collapsing mountain, crushing the sword light with ease and hitting Zhao Yian.

With a dull thud, Zhao Yian flew backwards and fell into the crowd. His mouth and nose were covered in blood, staining his clothes red. He looked very miserable.

Won?

Just like that, we won?!

Everyone was stunned. It seemed that Su Yan had not properly summoned out the true meaning, but only slightly manifested the blessing.

But Zhao Yian, who ranked 169th on the Tiger List, lost.

"This child has become successful"

Inside the martial arts hall, the Danqiao elder on duty watched from afar as Su Yan summoned the six-winged blood centipede and flew up into the sky, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

He has been gathering strength through battle, and his spirit is strong and his training is unparalleled. Now it seems that he is only at the second level of the True Realm, Ruyi Period.

But as long as he fights a few more battles, then the third realm of true artistic conception will be as easy as taking candy from a bag, and if this continues, even the third realm will not be able to stop Su Yan for too long.

Everyone helped Zhao Yian up, and those who knew him came forward to comfort him.

The rest of the people also returned to the Military Academy to continue their classes.

The busybodies were quite bold and instigated the elder who was giving the lecture in the Military Academy: "Elder Wei, Su Yan is clearly only a warrior of the second level of the True Intention Realm. How could he fight against a warrior of a higher level? Then what's the point of us practicing and breaking through?"

Wei Shengfeng glanced at the disciple, who was at the second level of the True Realm, and shook his head slightly.

"Do you think that fighting against opponents of higher rank is something anyone can do?"

"Martial arts, physical body, true essence, spirit, bloodline..."

Wei Shengfeng pointed them out one by one, saying, "Except for those with exceptional talent, if you put in a tremendous amount of hard work on these few things, they will become your trump cards for fighting against opponents of higher rank. I don't know about other things, but the physical strength and true essence displayed by Su Yan are no less powerful than those of a warrior in the Condensation Stage. How can he not fight against opponents of higher rank?"

The disciple who asked the question was speechless. To hone a certain skill to the third level at the second level is probably more difficult than breaking through.

Moreover, the resources spent are unimaginable.

"My disciple is stupid and has misunderstood."

Wei Shengfeng nodded and said, "This boy is teachable."

"A genius has his own way of cultivation. He strives for the ultimate state, solidifying the foundation at every step. This way, he can go further. Ordinary warriors have their own way of cultivation. Breaking through first, then completing the whole thing, is also a method. Moreover, only by breaking through can you have the lifespan to do other things. Don't be too ambitious."

"Changed! Changed!"

Suddenly an exclamation interrupted Wei Shengfeng's words.

His eyes showed displeasure, and he was about to scold when he suddenly saw that the number of names on the Tiger List stone tablet had changed again.

"Su Yan, No. 157 on the Tiger List"

His beard twitched as he calculated in his mind: it had only been two quarters of a second since Su Yan left, and already an unlucky guy had been found?
His eyes immediately fell on the name of number 158.

"Who is Wang Han from Broken Moon Peak?"

The disciples looked at each other, wondering how to answer such a question.

"He's been a disciple for six years and is also a Condensation Stage warrior... Oh, and he seems to be the descendant of the Qing family's chief steward."

It would be better if this wasn't mentioned, because once it is mentioned it immediately makes people think of many things.

"I heard that the Qing family is looking for trouble with Su Yan. Could he be planning to fight back?" "Perhaps Pang Tianhu, ranked 189th, is also from the Qing family. It seems that Senior Brother Zhao Yian..."

You won’t know until you take stock, this is really the case.

There's something interesting to watch.

"How many people from the Qing family are still on the list?"

……

Everyone took inventory one by one. Seeing everyone's expressions, Wei Shengfeng knew that he might not be able to continue the class.

I simply let them discuss it, and after counting, I found out that Du Zhengshi who was against Yue Feng at number 145, Qing Zixuan who was the legitimate daughter of the Qing family at number 129, and Qing Tianyu who was at number 98 were all from the Qing family.

Du Zhengshi has perfected the third realm of true artistic conception and is only one step away from breaking through to the fourth realm.

Qing Zixuan has already completed the concentration of power, tried to combine the true intention with the spirit, and took half a step forward. She may enter the fourth realm at any time.

As for Qing Tianyu, he is a warrior of the fourth realm, and his strength is among the best in Canglong Peak.

Although Su Yan is very talented, he doesn't really want to fight them one by one, right?

……

At the foot of Fu Yue Peak, Du Zhengshi was wearing black armor and holding two hammers. The armored silver bear behind him had been knocked to the ground and fell into a deep pit.

"Do you want to come again?"

Su Yan looked up at him. The true meaning of the Poison Star Ape behind him was condensed like a mountain guardian god, and the aura around him pressed down on Du Zhengshi.

Du Zhengshi still wanted to stand up, but the true meaning of the mountain spirit beast revealed in his body had collapsed and was difficult to condense into shape.

He smiled bitterly: "Junior brother, you are very capable, and I am defeated. I hope you will show mercy."

The first half of the sentence was said for himself, but the second half was said for the Qing family.

However, he is only the son of the chief steward of the Qing family and cannot make decisions on behalf of the Qing family.

That's putting it mildly.

Su Yan nodded slightly: "You are not bad, but they were the ones who instigated this matter."

Su Yan turned and left, the Poison Star Ape's true meaning retracted into his body. He said, "Tomorrow I intend to challenge Senior Sister Qing Zixuan of Canglong Peak. Please ask Senior Brother Du to pass on the message."

Du Zhengshi's pupils shrank. It turned out that they were coming for the Qing family.

Is it really worth it for the Qing family to provoke such a young genius?
Su Yan came down from Fu Yue Peak and had not yet returned to Gui Zang Valley, but the news of his challenge had already spread.

Normally, the Tiger List changes only a few times a month, especially those above the top 200.

But now, it is changed three times a day, and all by the same person.

The name Su Yan has already been noticed by everyone.

And now there are rumors that they are going to invite Qing Tianyu and Qing Zixuan to fight. For a while, all the disciples in the seven peaks and one valley became excited.

On the Canglong Peak, Qing Tianyu, Qing Zixuan and Qing Tianyi gathered on Yunqing Mountain.

"Su Yan, you little brat, actually bullied my Qing family like this."

Qingtian showed his rage, wishing he could tear Su Yan into pieces.

Qing Zixuan's expression was icy as she snorted, "You are allowed to despise the other party, but you are not allowed to fight back?"

"What do you mean?"

Qingtian glared at Qing Zixuan angrily, but when Qing Zixuan glanced at him, the aura of perfect power on his body was suppressed, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Zi Xuan"

Qing Tianyu interrupted Qing Zixuan's momentum, and Qing Tianyi was his biological brother after all.

A strange look flashed in Qing Zixuan's eyes and she snorted.

"We didn't handle Su Yan's matter well."

If the Qing family wants to establish its own prestige, they naturally have to set up some targets.

Just like Ni Hai back then.

Some so-called geniuses are no match for the Qing family, so fame and resources will all flow to the Qing family.

They used the same method to deal with Su Yan, but they did not expect that Su Yan would become stronger so quickly, which was beyond their imagination.

"and then?"

Qing Zixuan asked back, "Now he wants to kick all the members of the Qing family off the Tiger List."

"He can't do it."

A cold voice came, and Qing Yunheng finally appeared, his eyes sweeping over the three people: "Even if he can fight across levels, he can't match the Divine Integration Stage."

"Beating or not is not the key."

Qing Tianyu's feminine brows furrowed slightly. "It took me eight years to reach the 98th place on the Tiger List, but it only took him one year."

For warriors, time and age are sometimes the biggest gaps.

He could defeat Su Yan once, but he couldn't always defeat him.

How could Qing Yunheng not know what Qing Tianyu understood?
"Zi Xuan"

Qing Zixuan's expression changed. Sure enough, Qing Yunheng said, "Go and smooth over the relationship between the Qing family and him."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

On the surface, the conflict between the Qing family and Su Yan is a dispute over pride, but in reality it is a struggle for resources.

This thing can be big or small, especially someone like Qing Tianyi. If it is not handled properly, Su Yan will become a demon in his heart that he cannot overcome.

In order to resolve the conflict, the Qing family must bow their heads, and Su Yan must be willing to accept it. Only then will it work.

But the Qing family's reputation and dignity are at stake, and it won't be so easy to get down.

However, there is another way, which not only does not damage the reputation of the Qing family, but also can win over Su Yan - the beauty trap.

"Second Grandfather, I am also a girl from the Qing family."

Qing Zixuan raised her eyes and looked at Qing Yunheng, with unwillingness in her eyes.

"This kid's momentum is worth it."

Qing Yunheng did not respond directly, but the meaning of his words was particularly cold.

Qing Zixuan's eyes dimmed for a moment, then brightened slightly, as if radiant: "Zixuan understands."

Qing Yunheng set the tone for the matter, and Qing Zixuan also expressed her opinion, but ultimately left first.

Seeing this, the two brothers Qing Tianyu and Qing Tianyi decided not to stay any longer and left one after another.

Only Qing Yunheng stayed in his room, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Breaking through two realms in one year and reaching the top 200 on the Tiger Rankings, you truly have great talent... I never thought you had such a strong temper... I hope you'll take the step I'm giving you."

A fierce look flashed in his eyes. He had dealt with conceited geniuses like Su Yan before.

If you are determined to confront the Qing family, you will have to use some family methods.

……

Early the next morning, many curious disciples had already appeared at the foot of Canglong Peak.

Canglong Peak has the most disciples, but disciples from other peaks are also present and all find excuses to come to Canglong Peak.

Although the seven peaks and one valley have their own heritage, they all belong to the same sect and there is no prohibition on communication between them.

Now the martial arts training ground at the foot of Qinglong Peak is surrounded by three layers of walls inside and three layers of walls outside.

"The Qing brothers and sisters are here."

Qing Tianyu and Qing Zixuan arrived at the training ground first.

Qing Tianyu was dressed in martial arts uniform, with an upright figure and a second-grade top-grade blue and white sword in his hand.

Qing Zixuan, who was standing beside her, was wearing a lavender long dress and a purple jade and gilded hairpin on her head. Her black hair fell down like a waterfall behind her. She had a graceful figure and fair arms. She looked gentle on the outside but charming on the inside, but she had a unique charm.

She ranks 129th on the list, but this reputation is even better than her martial arts in the Beast King Sect.

Although he was unwilling in his heart, he was prepared at this time because he came from a noble family.

"Su Yan is here!"
