The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 61: The Barren Mountain

The people who came were all dressed in dark blue martial uniforms. The one in the lead wore a brocade cloud inlaid with jade belt and a silver curved knife at his waist. He had a face as sharp as a knife, eyebrows as sharp as a knife, and a pair of eyes full of nonchalant provocation.

Beside him, there was a man with an unhappy expression, holding a bow in his hand, as if he was upset about something. A pair of cold eyes swept over Su Yan.

This person was none other than Gu Hong, the leader of the Xiaoshan Society, and it was he who shot the arrow just now.

"The thief is lucky, he dodged my arrow."

He shot the arrow on impulse and missed the target. Although he was upset, he was not too angry. He had plenty of ways to kill the bastard who was against him.

"Yin Ruguang, do you want to take action?"

Li Jinshan was furious and stared coldly at the leader of the Seven Swords Martial Arts School.

One of the true disciples of the Seven Swords Martial Arts School, the second disciple is Yin Ruguang, the Deer-Slaying Sword.

The barren mountains are different from the outside world. Here, fists are the rule.

Given the relationship between the Golden Ape Martial Arts School and the Seven Swords Martial Arts School, it would not be surprising if they fought to the death.

Yin Ruguang raised his eyebrows and said frivolously, "Brother Li, you misunderstood. Brother Gu and I were just hunting, and there was a misunderstanding. However, having said that, robbery will result in a wanted notice. Brother Li, do you want to give it a try?"

There was a hidden thorn in his words. There was no order in the deserted mountains. If you have the guts, you can come in. If you don't have the guts, you can leave alive. If you die, you die.

It's just a matter of saying that he was killed by a wild beast and the person is missing. No one can hold him accountable, and it is impossible to hold him accountable.

This is the rule.

But at the same time, profit comes first in everything. On this road of entry and exit, no matter how big the hatred between the two families is, they cannot kill each other. Anyone who violates this will be attacked together.

This is also the rule.

If everyone sets their sights on this road and tries to take shady action, then no business will be able to continue.

Yin Ruguang and Gu Hong were provoking Li Jinshan simply because they relied on this rule and were sure that Li Jinshan would not dare to fight.

As for the death of a few disciples, it is not really a big deal, unless they are true disciples or biological sons.

"Roar"

Just as he was about to reply, a tiger's roar was suddenly heard. Something strange had just happened. Su Yan was attacked and everyone was confronting each other.

Unexpectedly, Li Shun was distracted here and the ferocious tiger took the opportunity to hit him with its tail, causing him to stumble and fall.

"Hahaha, this is your new disciple from the Golden Ape Martial Arts School. He's not that great."

After seeing this scene, Yin Ruguan became even more presumptuous. He couldn't even suppress a quasi-entry-level tiger. The Golden Ape Martial Arts School was nothing but a monkey.

"Su Yan!"

Li Jinshan's heart suddenly became furious. This person is more likely to cause trouble than to help.

Upon hearing this, Su Yan realized that Li Jinshan had been forced into a corner by Yin Ruguang's words and was unable to take action.

So he strode over, and before he even arrived, he had already said, "Back off."

At this moment, Li Ying, Ma Xiaodong, Liu Yinglong and others' faces froze, but they immediately retreated a little.

Su Yan strode over, and the vicious tiger, seeing that he was alone, also pounced on him.

The vicious tiger leaped forward, its colorful orange and yellow body pressing down like a mountain.

Su Yan acted without haste. In a flash, the old ape changed his stance and used both arms to push against the tiger's shoulders, and with a jolt, he threw the tiger away.

The giant tiger weighing a thousand pounds flew backwards for five or six meters and fell to the side of Yin Ruguang and Gu Hong.

The tiger landed with a dull thud as it hit the hard cobblestones, its bones crackling.

The vicious tiger struggled and was already in fear. Su Yan locked onto it with his aura and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

The evil tiger turned around and ran straight towards Gu Hong and the others.

"Humph, child's trick."

Gu Hong's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and Yin Ruguang was even more disdainful.

But a tiger of the entry-level level was thrown at them like this, could it still make them lose face?

Scimitar in hand, ready to strike.

"Brothers, be careful!"

Su Yan warned loudly, as if he was worried that the tiger would hurt someone.

However, before he shouted, he had already taken off the fine steel longbow behind him. His hands were as fast as lightning, and the arrows shot out like meteors. In a whoosh, three or four arrows were shot out in succession.

"not good!"

The three or four sharp arrows were extremely fast and curved, passing by the side of the vicious tiger and heading straight for Gu Hong, Yin Ruguang and others.

It looks like shooting a tiger, but it’s actually shooting a person!
Before the tiger even reached him, the sharp arrows were already approaching him. Yin Ruguang swung his sword like a white silk thread, and in a flash, he cut down the two sharp arrows, leaving the cut surfaces as shiny as a mirror.

Gu Hong had a bow in his hand, not a sharp weapon. He was furious and swept the bow to block it.

However, just as he looked up, he heard several more sounds of breaking through the air, and arrows formed a line and came in a row.

Yin Ruguang swung his sword as fast as lightning, slashing down enemies one after another. Such archery skills could not do anything to him.

But Gu Hong only had one bow, and it was inevitable that he would be restrained when swinging it under the continuous arrows. Fortunately, Su Yan took care of him and shot four or five arrows from three angles in a row.

While waving the bow, he could only move to dodge, looking a little embarrassed. In his haste, his brocade clothes were torn open.

At this time, the tiger was in front of him and was about to escape. Yin Ruguang's eyes were filled with anger like a blade. He slashed the scimitar in his hand, and a stream of sword energy cut the vicious tiger into two, killing it on the spot.

Blood scattered like rain, landing in front of them and on their clothes, making them look quite miserable.

Yin Ruguang earned this reputation by being able to chop off a deer's head with his knife, and the reason for his fame was that his knife was sharp.

However, no matter how fast the knife is, it cannot be as fast as the boomerang.

"Hahahaha, the Seven Swords Martial Arts School is indeed good at swordsmanship. I admire you. My junior brother is not good at archery and couldn't even hit a tiger. Brother Lao Yin took action."

Li Jinshan laughed out loud, and it was a bit like a tiger roaring in the mountains.

As he spoke, he quietly took a step forward, his figure blocking Su Yan's way. His aura was as condensed as that of an ape, and his ferocious eyes were fixed on the front.

With such an action, even if Yin Ruguang disregarded the rules and killed people suddenly, he would not be able to pass this test.

Yin Ruguang's face turned pale, knowing that he had been fooled, and his eyes were almost murderous.

"Su Yan, I've got this. Don't die in the deserted mountains. Let's go!"

Yin Ruguang's impulsive provocation failed and he lost face. Even at this moment, he did not dare to kill him openly.

Not to mention the difference in numbers, if the conflict really escalates, it would be a violation of the rules, and he cannot afford it.

He left in disappointment, feeling even more resentful towards Su Yan.

"Brother Yin, this is all my fault. If I hadn't suddenly decided to shoot that bastard, how could I have lost face in front of you?"

After entering the forest, they followed the original route to return to the Qisha Martial Arts School and the Xiaoshan Society team.

Gu Hong immediately confessed his crime and apologized to Yin Ruguang.

Although Yin Ruguang was annoyed, the Seven Swords Martial Arts School and Xiaoshan Club were on good terms and it was impossible for them to turn against each other because of this.

He waved his hand and said, "Nothing, I don't like that guy either. Where did he come from?"

Gu Hong said disdainfully, "That lowly bastard from the mountain has attached himself to Song Qi from Baicaotang and enrolled in the Golden Ape Martial Arts School. He has a bit of talent, but if he didn't have someone protecting him, how could he be so arrogant?"

He narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "By the way, considering the size of their team, are they going to rest at Washankou tonight?"

"What do you want? Li Jinshan is not someone you can easily deal with. If you break the rules, not only Manager Gu, but even the Second Gang Leader won't be able to protect you."

"Of course I know."

Gu Hong, however, sneered sinisterly: "What's most abundant in the barren mountains is rampant wild beasts."

"Well done, Junior Brother. I didn't know you have such amazing archery skills."

Li Jinshan kept praising him. He certainly had a good eye, even though that archery was not a special martial art.

However, the ability to shoot arrows like meteors and move them as if they were his own arms is obviously something that has been practiced to the core. Compared with martial arts such as Monkey Fist, it can be regarded as a highly accomplished archery skill.

He has mastered the art of boxing, standing meditation and archery. This junior fellow's understanding of the techniques is truly remarkable.

"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother."

Su Yan grinned: "It's just that the shooting is not accurate."

Li Jinshan laughed out loud, what a missed shot.

No, what he should admire most is not his junior brother's understanding, but his courage.

Warriors fight.

What kind of warrior is it that doesn't dare to fight or plan?
Someone helped Su Yan collect the bow and arrow and handed it to him. He put the bow and arrow away and placed it at his waist.

Suddenly, he seemed to be curious and asked, "Big Brother, the Seven Swords Martial Arts School and the Xiaoshan Club are also going into the mountains. Why are they going in that direction? Didn't they say they were all resting at Washankou?"

Li Jinshan answered casually, "If you have to go through the main road, you'd naturally rest at Washankou, where the area is more open. But if there are fewer people, and they're all warriors, without any large items, then the road to Qingya Valley is faster, and there are often people living there."

"Green Fang Valley?"

Su Yan's eyes lit up slightly: "Is it far?"

"It's not far. It's less than four or five miles east of Washan Pass. Just over the hill."
