The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 22: Old Ape Fights Tiger
The tiger pounced, and a bloody wind blew in my face.

Su Yanhou leaped to the side to avoid the attack.

The vicious tiger turned its back to Su Yan and swept its tail like a steel whip, trying to stop Su Yan from moving forward, and turned around to charge again.

Su Yan was like an old ape, avoiding the steel whip-like tail and leaping to the top of the vicious tiger.

Old ape hits the top!

Su Yan hit the old ape hard on the head of the vicious tiger.

Hundreds of pounds of force gathered at one point, like a sledgehammer, knocking the vicious tiger to its knees.

The tiger raised its body, trying to knock Su Yan over, and turned around to strike him with a heavy claw.

Su Yan turned over to the side, placed his hands in front of his body, exerted force with his arms, stood firm like a pine tree, and used the old monkey holding up the mountain to firmly resist it.

The beginner of skin refining, his skin is as tough as an ox. Even the tiger claws were blocked, but he couldn't do anything, only leaving blood marks.

The tiger's attack changes little as it uses the same old tricks.

Su Yanhou leaped closer, and before the tiger could react, the golden monkey took out its heart and rushed straight into its abdomen.

With a heavy blow, the tiger's internal organs seemed to be stirred, and it fell to the ground in pain.

Su Yan's eyes seemed to be filled with ferocity. He strode forward and rushed straight to the tiger.

Regardless of the tiger's madness due to its injuries, he used his strength to stand still and hit the tiger's head.

The two arms swung like a gibbon, with the momentum of falling trees and shaking mountains.

Tiger threw punch after punch, trying to knock Su Yan over, but he couldn't get rid of him at all.

Gradually, Su Yan's muscles and bones began to move, his skin swelled and tightened, and his qi and blood surged and circulated.

A force rushed into his arms, as if his strength had suddenly increased by one or two times.

With a "crack" sound, the old ape hit the tiger's skull hard and shattered it.

Blood flowed from the tiger's mouth, nose, ears and eyes, and its struggles gradually became weaker. Su Yan was also exhausted and sat down on the tiger tiredly.

He was breathing heavily, his skin was flushed, but his strength was constantly being generated and restored.

He took out a five or six-year-old ginseng from the insect world, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it.

I practiced the standing meditation slightly to digest the medicinal power, and the warm current flowed through every part of my body, filling the feeling of deficiency.

'It happened! '

[First-level Insect Master: 9/100]

[Insect World: 1 cubic meters]

[Body Refining Stage: Skin Refining 1/200 (Minor Success)]

[Golden Ape Posture: 34/200 (Minor Success)]

[Monkey Fist: Minor Success (1/200)]

【Mountain Driving: 94/200 (Small Success)】

[Basic Archery 151/200 (Minor Success)]

【Medicine Identification 57/200 (Minor Success)】

[Yinshui centipede 103/200 (growth period)]

The monkey boxing has made some progress, and the moves are becoming more and more proficient. The power and the use of moves are instinctive, just like a monkey.

The fight just now, with the surging of Qi and blood and the unity of body and mind, pushed Leather Refining past the entry level and into the minor success realm in one fell swoop.

"A thousand-pound force is no problem. If it were to explode, it might be even more powerful. The bloody scratches from earlier have also faded a bit. This skin..."

Su Yan's hands were like tiger claws, grabbing his skin, and he immediately felt a tough diaphragm. It was so tough that ordinary weapons might not leave any injuries without any force.

"But still be careful, increased defense doesn't mean you're invincible, it might just reduce damage."

Only a fool would think that his defense is unmatched in the world and use a 'shield' to fight a 'spear'. What if it breaks?
Therefore, defense is just insurance. If you can kill someone with three punches, don't let others touch you.

"I've made progress with the Yinshui Centipede, archery, mountaineering, and medicinal identification. If I can find a few more poisons, I can try to get the Yinshui Centipede to break through to the Great Perfection stage. By then, not only will its insect essence be stronger, it will also almost have the strength of the Muscle and Bone Realm, which will be perfect for protecting me."

"But we must deal with this tiger first."

Su Yan picked up the tiger one or two times, wiped off the blood that kept dripping, and then carried the backpack.

He used the power-generating technique of standing meditation to lift the tiger's corpse onto his shoulders.

Su Yan only swayed and steadied himself before striding down the mountain. With his insect essence as his foundation, he had a strong body and a minor accomplishment in skin refining. With this strength, he was able to carry the tiger with ease.

After Su Yan came down the mountain, he did not go to Yunqian Village, but went straight to Shanji Market.

Tigers are not ordinary prey, so the price may be higher than that of ordinary precious plants.

The tiger is full of treasures; its flesh, fur, tendons and bones are all valuable.

However, this thing cannot be delayed.

Su Yan galloped with big strides and steady steps. After leaving the Yunling Mountains, he got onto the main road.

"What a huge tiger!"

After walking only a mile or two, they met the mountain people who were going to the mountain market together, and they were frightened.

The mountain people took a closer look and saw that under the big tiger was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

His steps were steady, his eyes were sharp, and he was even more imposing than that of a tiger.

"Brother Yan from Yunqian Village?"

Someone recognized Su Yan, and Su Yan nodded: "Please make way, fellow villagers. This tiger is quite heavy. I am walking fast and I am afraid I might bump into you."

Groups of mountain people quickly made way, their faces showing surprise, excitement and all kinds of expressions mixed together.

"Brother Yan from Yunqian Village has killed a giant tiger!"

"Young man fighting a tiger, what a skill!"

It was a big deal when mountain people killed a tiger. Even if they were not from the same village, it was still a lively event.

Su Yan strode towards the mountain gathering place. The mountain people surrounded him and followed him quickly, constantly passing messages to him and looking up and down to estimate the tiger's shape.

Someone hurried to Shanjifang Market and spread the news, making it quite lively.

When Su Yan arrived at the Shanji Market, the entrance was already filled with mountain people who came to watch the fun.

"Hiss, what a big tiger! Did he really kill it?"

Some people looked skeptical, but people from Yunqian Village were also among the crowd.

"Bullshit! Didn't you see a tiger weighing 700 to 800 kilograms? Brother Yan didn't even stagger a step. How can you do that?"

"Our brother Yan has long since enrolled at the Golden Ape Martial Arts School to learn martial arts, and he's become quite famous!"

Everyone watching the excitement showed an expression of disbelief.

People in the surrounding areas of Yunling Mountain have gritted their teeth and sent their children to learn martial arts.

But almost no one can make a name for themselves. At most, they train themselves to be strong and then become hunters or find a job in Yuncang Town.

But after all, they are still a poor family.

But Su Yan's appearance really made him stand out.

Su Yan carried the tiger through the market, and the crowd made way for him.

"Brother Yan, Yang Zhangdao from Pan's Restaurant is in the store today."

Su Yan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Thank you very much."

He strode forward carrying the tiger's corpse to the Pan Family Restaurant, where quite a few people had already gathered.

A burly man with bare chest was already standing there.

"Young man, I've finally hunted a big tiger. Let Pan's Restaurant handle it. We won't charge you for skinning and dismembering it. How about that?"

Su Yan put the tiger on the hardwood chopping board with a "poof".

"Thank you, Yang, for your palm and knife skills. Sell all your flesh, blood, and bones to the Pan Family Restaurant. I only want a tiger skin, four tiger patellas, and a spine."

Yang Zhangdao twirled his beard and looked at Su Yan in surprise. "The patella is the most valuable part of tiger bones, followed by the spine. Are you really not selling it?"

"Kid, keep them if you think they'll be useful. If there's a next time, I'll definitely sell them all to the Pan Family Restaurant."

"Ambitious"

Yang Sandao didn't believe what others said, but this young man was not joking.

This tiger was beaten to death with bare hands.
