The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 203 The battle for the secret realm
On Yangjiao Mountain, a great battle of Danqiao took place.

Although Su Yan had noticed something, it was more to his liking. This way, their operation to sneak into the secret realm would be safer.

The two men walked along the cave and headed outside. They walked at least ten miles of mountain roads and bypassed half of Yangjiao Mountain before they found a crack less than two people wide in a hidden corner.

"The blood bees have passed through several times, so it's relatively safe inside."

Before Su Yan arrived, he had already controlled dozens of blood bees to enter and explore part of the area.

But it's a pity that it is separated from the real world after all, so the exploration distance and the degree of perception are greatly reduced.

Nangong Hongyue said, "This is because the secret order of the secret realm has not been mastered. It has been unopened for many years and no one is in charge. It is possible that there are multiple entrances to the space, but over time, only the main entrance will remain."

She paused for a moment, then said seriously, "If we go in, we'd better make a quick decision. The Fire Crow Tribe will definitely be waiting at the entrance."

There are Danqiao warriors guarding the place. Although the two of them are quite powerful, they may not be able to escape.

"They don't have time for us right now."

The Danqiao battle is bound to attract more onlookers afterward, and they just want to take advantage of the situation.

Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue entered one after another, passed through the crack that was glowing with white light, and suddenly felt the world changing. In an instant, they arrived at a hillside with green grass and rolling mountains.

Looking around, the mountain range continues to extend. Although it is not as huge as the Yanwu Mountains, it is also one-third of its size. The three mountains in the middle are like sword edges, at least three thousand meters high.

"It's a masterpiece of nature. It requires the power of moving mountains to include the mountains like this."

The small secret realm was not formed naturally. The mountains in it were incorporated by various means.

Many of them were part of the Yanwu Mountains long ago.

"Roar"

The two men had just stood still when they heard the roar of a beast. A gray lion suddenly pounced out from behind the grass and trees, roaring loudly, and its body looked like a running elephant.

Mid-stage second stage?

The demonic energy in Cangshi was surging, and it almost pounced on the two of them. Su Yan's eyes flashed, and he grabbed with his big hand, and slapped over with the Blood Slaughter Hand Seal.

With a dull thud, the huge grey lion was knocked away.

The blue lion turned over and stood up, already a little panicked, and wanted to turn around and leave.

Su Yan, like a dragon or a crane, grabbed it in mid-air with his bloody hands, threw it hard in front of him, and then pressed down on it.

The strength is equivalent to that of the Ruyi stage to the Ningshi stage in the True Realm. This Cangshi is not weak even if it is placed outside.

"It seems there are quite a few wild beasts here."

Looking into the distance, one can see wild beasts hiding in the woods and grasslands. There are actually more wild beasts that are not at the first level or even at the first level. Su Yan has already seen several bear rabbits.

"It has been unopened for many years, and its own ecology has long been formed here. Since the blue lions will go it alone and need to hunt, I am afraid that the strongest wild beast may not be weaker than the Danqiao."

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Su Yan opened the insect world space and released the blood bees. This time, most of the eggs of the Sky Evil Locust were hatched.

A total of 30,000 blood bees were dispatched, and the blood mist suddenly dispersed with a buzzing sound, flying towards various parts of the mountains.

Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue began to roughly determine the direction and rushed towards the center of the secret realm.

The two of them walked very fast, and with the help of blood bees, they were able to avoid most of the roaming wild beasts.

Some wild beasts had high hiding abilities and launched sneak attacks like the blue lion, but they were all killed by Nangong Hongyue's black gold silkworms that devoured their hearts.

Yin Chan turned into a shadow and spit out a black light, defeating the second-level white-blade ape that blocked his way, and fled with a group of apes.

"A low-grade, second-level Ape Fruit. This spiritual root is at least three hundred years old."

The Yuanpan fruit ripens every year, but the tree that grows the Yuanpan fruit is special.

There are many treasures in the small secret realm. The two of them have discovered many rare treasures along the way, including first-level and second-level spiritual medicines.

The Yuanpan Fruit that can polish bones and muscles like this is only an above-average treasure.

Nangong Hongyue picked the ape fruit and asked, "How is the fruit tree?"

Su Yan's eyes flickered as he thought of his own insect world space. One thousand cubic meters was about the size of two or three houses.

Although it is not big, the spiritual energy in it is not small, at least it is richer than the environment outside.

The space in the insect world is not a storage ring. It is a static space isolated by means of refining equipment. Time and space are flowing in it.

It seems possible to try.

Thinking of this, Su Yan stepped forward and said, "Let me try."

He placed his hand on the root of the Yuanpan Fruit, and then the insect consciousness seed spread its divine consciousness, covering a large area of land.

As I was thinking about putting these things away, I suddenly felt a sense of resistance.

"It's not that simple, and there's no living thing resisting."

It is easiest to collect your own vicious insects and other things, but it is not so easy to increase the distance and collect the rebellious or unstable things.

The Yuanpan Fruit and the surrounding land in front of us are just attempts, but fortunately there are no other obstacles.

Su Yan increased the coverage of his mental power, and it lasted for more than ten seconds. The next moment, a layer of ground disappeared instantly and entered the insect world space.

'It works.'

Su Yan showed an excited look. According to his perception, the soil and the Yuanpan fruit tree were no different from the outside world after entering the insect world space.

The spiritual energy in the insect world quickly seeped into the soil.

There is no shortage of space in the world of ray worms. Although its source is unknown, it is in sync with the outside world.

Water, soil, spiritual energy...

These can all be satisfied.

Over time, the insect world space is equivalent to a portable secret realm.

'This secret realm is still a little small.'

Su Yan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. The place was only the size of three or four houses. After a few ferocious insects occupied most of the place, the remaining space was not enough for him to plant more spiritual herbs.

He couldn't help but feel more desire in his heart. Perhaps a fourth-level insect master could add more space to the insect world.

Nangong Hongyue, as before, ignored all the strange things happening to Su Yan.

The two quickened their pace and headed straight for the three sword peaks in the center.

Logically speaking, if the six-winged blood centipede appears, flying over is the fastest way.

However, no one knows what risks there are in the secret realm, so it is safer to go through the ground.

In about a quarter of an hour, the two had arrived at one of the sword peaks.

The mountains are towering, the forests are sparse, and a large amount of spiritual energy gathers on the peaks.

As the two men approached, the sound of fighting was heard.

At the entrance, three warriors summoned their true meanings. They had tough leather armor, bull heads and human bodies, and were very burly.

But these three warriors had deathly expressions on their faces and had fallen into despair.

Pitch-black monsters the size of hounds were attacking them.

They came like a tide. Among the three, the blue-clothed warrior who led the group, his eyes fierce, and his lean figure rushed forward, slashing with the sharp blade in his hand, cutting off more than ten ant monsters.

"Charge out! These ant beasts are invulnerable to swords and guns. If we delay any longer, we will all die."

He rushed out first, followed closely by his two brothers.

The man on the left had a complexion like fine copper, a scruffy beard, and a body that was three times more bulging. He was definitely an expert in horizontal training.

He held a short axe in his hand and swung it, chopping it down with domineering blows, pushing back the pursuing ant beast.

The younger man on the left had an anxious look on his face. He kept attacking with a sword in hand, but he was indeed one step behind his two brothers in strength.

The clanging sound of sword strikes did not completely kill the ant beasts. After being repelled, they would often come back again.

The three of them fought and retreated, consuming a lot of their true energy, but they only retreated less than a hundred meters.

rustle
A giant ant beast the size of a calf, pitch black with black crystals on its back, was chasing them at an extremely fast speed.

Second level!

With just one glance, Liao Xin could see the strength of the ant beast.

So many ant beasts have already exhausted them, how can they still withstand the second-level ant beasts?

Bitter!

His heart sank, a coldness appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at his two brothers.

Just at this moment, there was a rustling sound coming from the road outside the mountain. He looked over and was overjoyed.

"Fellow Taoist, save me!"

He shouted loudly, and the three brothers focused their eyes and rushed directly towards a man and woman two or three hundred meters away.

They were rushing to get involved, eager to drag Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue in immediately.

Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and a look of surprise fell on the ant beast that was like a black ocean.

Nangong Hongyue snorted coldly: "Seeking death."

She directly used the Five Poison Palm, and a billowing poisonous mist rushed towards Liao Xin.

"What a vicious woman."

Liao Xin didn't expect that this woman was so vicious that she would launch an attack directly.

He swung his sword and chopped, and the bull monster's true intention rushed towards him.

When the two collided, the true meaning was instantly corroded by the Five Poison Palm. Liao Xin was unable to recover for a while because his true meaning was broken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The second brother, Xu Zheng, had his eyes wide open with anger, but there was a hint of shock in his eyes as he attacked with his axes.

Nangong Hongyue just snorted coldly, and the insect bell on her wrist flew out and knocked him out immediately.

Gao Xuan was in an even worse condition at the end. Seeing Nangong Hongyue so powerful, he was shocked and couldn't use any tricks for a while. He was knocked down by the ant beast and large chunks of flesh were torn off in an instant.

The ant beast pounced forward, and Nangong Hongyue's true meaning emerged behind her. She transformed into a red scorpion and spit out a large amount of poisonous mist to isolate it.

For a moment, the ant beast hesitated, but the second-level ant beast did not stop at all and was coming quickly.

"I am a disciple of the Tianshui Sect. I just offended you two. I hope you will forgive me and spare my life."

A real man can bend and stretch, and Liao Xin tried to hold on and beg for mercy.

He stared at Su Yan, knowing that Su Yan was the one in charge between the two.

Tianshui Sect?
Su Yan smiled. There were countless factions in the martial arts world, and the Tianshui Sect was quite famous. Although they were not on the right side, at least they had no place in the Hundred Peaks Barrier.

But they are not entirely evil, they are considered neutral and have a great reputation in some of the mountains in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

But it's useless to Su Yan.

"Where did you come from?"

Liao Xin was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "There's a crack in the side of the mountain. We came in during a fight between several Danqiao Masters."

They came in earlier than Su Yan and Nangong Hongyue, which was a coincidence, otherwise they would not have been able to reach the three core mountains in time.

Liao Xin answered a few questions, and the ant beasts were now ready to charge.

"Let me go. If I go back, the Tianshui Sect will reward me handsomely."

puff
Su Yan pointed his finger, and his true energy rushed out like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through Liao Xin's eyebrows.

Xu Zheng also wanted to attack suddenly at this time, but his head was knocked off by a white shadow.

Nangong Hongyue frowned as she looked at the ant beasts that devoured Gao Xuan.

The red scorpion had been released by her and merged with the true meaning, transforming into an almost solid giant insect, blocking the entire mountain path, but even so, these ant beasts were still fearless.

"It doesn't look like a rock steel ant, but it's somewhat different. It seems to have mutated."

Nangong Hongyue couldn't recognize these ant beasts. Bloodline transformation was very common among wild beasts.

I'm afraid that what they both thought was that the Rock Steel Ants had been completely killed was just that they had moved to another place and had also produced new mutations.

"hiss"

The second-level ant beasts roared, and all the ant beasts began to riot, rushing forward even more frantically.

More ant beasts began to climb up the mountain walls on both sides, including two second-level ant beasts carrying black crystals.

Su Yan swept his eyes over these ant beasts, reached out and grabbed one of them, and immediately pulled it in front of him.

The ant beast, as big as a hound, kept struggling, its body covered with a thin layer of crystalline shell, and a huge sawtooth tried to bite off Su Yan's arm.

[Rock Demon Ant (Refinable)]

[The ant colony, formed from the bloodline of the Rock Steel Ant Queen, which transformed from her devouring the Flame Demon Sheep, the guardian beast of the secret realm, devours rock, soil, flesh, and blood, forming a black crystal-like body that is incredibly hard...]

Su Yan's eyes lit up, and he immediately knew the whole story.

"It's a variant of the Rock Steel Ant."

Nangong Hongyue was slightly surprised by the decisive tone. She asked in a deep voice, "With these ant beasts blocking our way, it might not be easy to get in and find the secret order. But should we go first?"

The Rock Demon Ants were approaching, but Su Yan smiled at this moment: "No, we have to go into the deepest part and find the queen ant."

Nangong Hongyue's expression changed slightly: "The Ant General is already at the second level, and the Queen Ant is probably no weaker than the third level. The two of us..."

Su Yan was quite confident: "I am still a little afraid of Danqiao warriors, but I am not sure about insect beasts."

As he finished speaking, he summoned the Six-Winged Blood Centipede and the Flame-Armored Demonic Scorpion, then said, "Follow me."

The six-winged blood centipede and the flame-armored demon scorpion were wearing heavy armor, and as soon as they came out, their huge bodies broke through the waves of rock demon ants.

The powerful pressure caused the rock demon ants to become slightly agitated, but the next moment the rock demon ants would attack in three directions, allowing the rock demon ant colony to launch an attack again.

Su Yan was just following the six-winged blood centipede. The next moment, the two ferocious insects launched an attack at the same time. Rolling poisonous fog poured into the mountain path, and then the demonic fire of the flame-armored demon scorpion also rose.

The two combined with each other, with the cooperation of his demonic essence, there was a loud bang, which turned into a thunderous noise that blew away hundreds of rock demon ants.

For a moment, the mountain path was empty. Su Yan's Heavenly Python body had emerged at this time, and the cyan scales on his skin were faintly visible. With a flash of his body, he took Nangong Hongyue and walked towards the depths of the Three Mountains. The place where the insect swarm came from must be where the queen ant was.
