Chapter 177: Extermination
‘What kind of monster is this guy exactly?’
The changes in front of Su Yan shocked Ma Tianhong, Ma Tianming, and Cheng Han.
Clearly just moments ago it was only True Intent Realm As Desired Stage strength, but now that condensed spirit pressure almost matched the True Intent Fourth Realm Divine Union.
Seemingly similar yet not quite, but with a touch of divine charm.
Great Tong Bei Fist!
The mountain valley shook as Ma Tianhong swung his fist, the pitch-black Tong Bei Ape fist shaking the valley.
Su Yan didn’t even raise his eyes, his figure flashed and he was already in front of this massive fist.
Star Picking Hand!
He too punched out, strands of spirit guiding over the Star Picking Hand.
Transforming into shadows of a centipede, an ape, and a flood dragon, Star Constellation Profound Beast condensed, one punch blasting out as if slashing across a star river.
The two fists collided, shaking the earth and mountains.
Su Yan’s figure didn’t retreat at all, that Divine Union manifested Tong Bei Ape beast spirit also had a figure like a mountain range.
Ma Tianhong was greatly shocked: “What secret technique is this?!”
He was truly shocked.
Crossing a full two minor realms, Su Yan could actually fight Divine Union without falling behind.
Even if his combat power in Divine Union wasn’t high, not comparable to sect heavenly prodigies.
But that was still Divine Union Realm.
Beneath the Insect Bone Armor Body, Su Yan’s entire body seemed crushed by a great mountain, the massive force impact extremely uncomfortable.
But with the contract of five fierce insects, the Insect Master entered third-order, this Insect Bone Armor Body’s toughness had long evolved a great deal.
Body like Vajra, heavy armor indestructible.
Beneath this Insect Bone Armor Body, even a Spirit Merging Stage martial artist couldn’t crush him.
Ma Tianhong was shocked and furious, controlling his True Intent beast spirit to swing a fist, fist momentum surging like mountains calling and seas roaring.
Su Yan’s figure protected by Black Gold Ancient Python Dharma Body, azure gold scale patterns emerging around his body, guarding his whole body, dodging this attack.
His expression was utterly calm, eyes sharp and bright: ‘Can’t hurt me, it’s your turn to die.’
Roar
Beast spirit roared, fierce insects assaulted.
Su Yan directly drove his three Star Constellation Profound Beast beast spirits to assault, joining forces in one strike, starlight like a pillar, smashing this Great Tong Bei Fist entirely away.
Six-Winged Blood Centipede’s rolling poisonous mist protruded, poisonous mist forming a black wind tornado, continuously corroding the Tong Bei Ape’s body.
Ma Tianhong wanted to force his way to Su Yan, but under this Star Array formation, that wasn’t easy.
Flame Armored Scorpion stirred blazing demonic fire blocking his left, figure hard as a mountain, claws sharp as scissors.
Figure crashing over, like heavenly flowing fire, burning away a large amount of his true essence.
Indeed, his strength was stronger, Spirit Merging Stage strength enough to crush any single fierce insect.
But under this combined force, it was impossible to break through singly.
“Big Brother, I’ll help you!”
Ma Tianming saw his big brother’s situation, anxious in his heart, this kid so strange, if allowed to drag on, what then?
White Tong Bei Ape figure stretched long, aura solidifying, striding forward, condensing a broad-backed saber in hand, one slash over a dozen zhang of saber light.
Su Yan turned his head, just glanced at him, raised his hand and grabbed, immediately Star Picking Hand appeared.
Clang
Saber light directly grabbed and shattered in mid-air, turning into countless fragments.
Su Yan’s figure moved, immediately arriving in front of this Tong Bei Ape.
Ma Tianming greatly shocked, controlling True Intent to lunge and hug at the waist, to snap Su Yan in two.
Su Yan raised his hand in a punch, massive fist smashing upward.
Tong Bei Ape beast spirit blocked, upon contact of both arms, they immediately began crumbling, arms virtualizing as if shattering.
Ma Tianming thrust his saber over, Su Yan’s large hand grabbed, the sharp blade directly caught in his hand.
His large hand pressed toward Ma Tianming’s chest, crackling sounds, ribs breaking, stabbing back into lungs like a dagger, piercing through the body.
Large mouthfuls of blood spat out, figure falling down, True Intent behind also dispersing.
“Tianming!”
Ma Tianhong went mad, roaring crazily, desperately enduring attacks from Six-Winged Blood Centipede and Gold-Eating Demon Insect, striding forward.
Star Moon Centipede and Poison Star Ape struck squarely by his Great Tong Bei Fist, the true essence forming True Intent virtual body also crumbled a lot.
Su Yan drew out massive true essence, channeling it over, quickly repairing the wounds.
True essence poured like floodwaters, the more True Intents controlled, the fiercer the battle, such consumption unavoidable.
But Su Yan’s foundation deep, Star Constellation Profound Beast Skill opened more meridians, thus more true essence.
His eyes darkened, thinking: ‘Need to speed up.’
Blood Fiend Mother Worm’s tens of thousands of blood bees pounced toward Cheng Han and the other dead soldiers.
Cheng Han swung Soul Locking Chain True Intent like a whip, resisting blood bee attacks.
But among this swarm of blood bees, contained blood fiend power.
Soul Locking Chain though powerful, under blood fiend power corrosion, true essence circulation unsmooth, sluggishness immediately hindering Cheng Han’s defense.
Large numbers of blood bees surged in, in just moments, after losing thousands of blood bees, Cheng Han and the group of dead soldiers turned into white bones, not a bit of flesh and blood left.
Ma Tianhong’s eyes split wide, almost madly launching attacks.
But Su Yan had freed his hands, now holding Scorpion Profound Spear, joining the battle with his True Intent beast spirits and fierce insects.
Insect Consciousness Seed spirit swept like telekinesis, continuously applying pressure.
Ma Tianhong like bearing a great mountain, continuously resisting pressure, true essence in body continuously draining.
Su Yan relying on Insect Bone Armor Body, charging to kill, every move straight to vital points.
Ten exchanges, thirty exchanges, over a hundred rounds…
The fierce battle lasted half a day, Ma Tianhong’s face long pale as death, body true essence depleted to the limit.
“How about stopping here? I don’t believe your true essence exceeds my Spirit Merging Stage.”
Ma Tianhong’s heart full of shock and doubt, already sensing something bad.
If according to plan, if he hadn’t returned from battle, his family’s Old Ancestor should have acted by now.
Su Yan seemed to see through his thoughts, cold laugh, taking out a bottle of Return Intent Yuan Pill from Insect Realm Space.
Swallowing several at once, nearly depleted true essence in body quickly converted, replenishing battle consumption.
Though not fully restored, enough to support longer.
“Your family Old Ancestor should now have his head rolling. Hiding in underground bunker, body like Yaksha…”
“How do you know?!”
Ma Tianhong’s eyes bulged wide, suddenly whoosh, Gold-Eating Demon Insect under Six-Winged Blood Centipede’s cover suddenly flew out.
Gengjin Blade wrapped around both wings, this strike nearly condensed all Gold-Eating Demon Insect’s power.
Tong Bei Ape True Intent under Six-Winged Blood Centipede’s impact already dispersed much, unable to block this Gold-Eating Demon Insect’s assault.
Blade aura slashed across, Ma Tianhong’s head rolled, completely silent.
Su Yan let out a long breath, True Intent retracted into body, cultivation manuals in body frantically operating, continuously recovering true essence.
His hands each pinched a second-order Origin Stone, continuously absorbing, in just moments, already sucked them dry.
【True Intent Realm As Desired Stage: 34/200(Minor Accomplishment】
Su Yan’s eyes slightly opened, a flash of sharp light in depths, aura on body slightly rising.
‘Insect Bone Armor Body cracked nearly forty percent, dharma body dispersed, Poison Dragon Golden Body damaged, and that was with five fierce insects and three True Intent beast spirits pressed on…’
He won this battle, and punches and palms solidly hit flesh, a punch-by-punch fierce fight that crushed opposite Ma Tianhong.
But the difficulty among it, only he knew.
If changed to terrain easy to flee, or this Star Array formation couldn’t trap Ma Tianhong.
Then Spirit Merging Stage beast spirit True Intent might like gods, able to shatter mountains, escaping this encirclement no difficult matter.
“Insect Consciousness Seed amplifies spirit, perceives first opportunities, builds spirit pressure, Insect Bone Armor Body forges body foundation, Unrivaled Hardening, physical damage quickly repairable. These two traits are my foundation for fighting above level, but strongest means still fierce insects…”
Five fierce insects of varying strength, most reaching True Intent Realm Second Stage, Third Realm strength, and innate exotic species, among same tier whether Six-Winged Blood Centipede or Flame Armored Scorpion are top-notch.
Such foundation is the root of fighting above level against Ma Tianhong.
Su Yan after several fierce battles, cultivation also advanced somewhat, but heart born more urgency.
This ordinary Spirit Merging Stage already forced him to this extent, what if stronger ones?
If true geniuses from Sacred Weapon Path?
Means stronger, weapons stronger, martial skills stronger…
Then he might not have capital to continue hard resisting.
Unless, master more fierce insects and more stronger Star Constellation Profound Beasts.
“Fierce insects as intent, perhaps can try…”
Su Yan slightly raised eyes, after true essence in body recovered somewhat, figure moved, immediately heading to Ma Wang Town.
Tonight not just him acting alone.
——
Ma Wang Town, Baimin Alley
“Bang”
Ji Shan Workshop’s gate kicked open by Bai Yun, heavy door panels directly crashing into the main hall.
“Who is it, coming to kick Ji Shan Workshop’s door?”
A hunched old man carrying an oil lamp hurried out, expression panicked, steps nimble.
Mumbling curses, glancing at the visitor, heart shocked, eyes showing panic.
“What are you doing here, girl, Ji Shan Workshop all unwanted kids, if robbing things, why bother these poor kids…”
He spoke while his hand shrank into his sleeve.
Pfft
Bai Yun without any nonsense, one spear pierced him through, nailing him above the door panel.
“Mountain Guard arrived! Run!”
Old man shouted hoarsely, finally no longer pretending, responding only Bai Yun’s cold two words: “Kill”
……
South of town Weapon Shop, clanging sounds, forge brightly lit.
Du Yuan brought half a squad to the door, eyes sweeping: “Capture them all.”
Weapon Shop’s apprentice guards startled, steward startled face sinking: “Block them!”
Two groups without words, actually fought into a mass.
East Mountain Hunting Gang, outside city Mountain God Temple, Li Family operating medicine field, night-and-day pleasure Listening Spring Tower…
In just one night, Mountain Guard split into over ten forces, raiding Ma Wang Town inside and outside over ten places.
From brothels to mansions, from slums to fish stalls, seemingly unrelated yet connected Ma Wang Town inside and out, all with martial artists inside, and like outside city Mountain God Temple, Little Wang Village hiding over a hundred Yaksa Monsters.
Ma Wang Town fought through the night, this saber and soldier sounds like continuous explosions.
While in Ma Family, a scene of solemnity, Ma Family third master Ma Tianxiong, young family head Ma Lidong, Ma Lixue at this time already armored, strictly prepared.
“Third Uncle, Old Ancestor side…”
Ma Lixue expression panicked, tonight’s upheaval, not just city defending guards instantly taken by Mountain Guard people, now city inside various places all assaulted.
“Old Ancestor not here, went out with big brother and second brother, we…”
Ma Tianxiong didn’t continue, gravely asked: “Lidong, outside situation how?”
“All lines cut, overt and covert all uprooted, people sent out almost none returned.”
Ma Lidong showed an uglier than death expression: “Can’t hide anymore, Yaksha Secret Medicine dealings, secretly harming Beast King Sect disciples, can’t hide.”
Ma Tianxiong face slightly changed, immediately said: “You and Lixue leave together, I’ll guard here, cover your retreat, after out go seek refuge in Sacred Weapon Path…”
“Want to escape where?”
A hundred-meter Ink Flood Dragon shadow emerged, Hao Yi’s figure merged with Ink Flood Dragon, overlooking Ma Family crowd.
“Only execute prime evildoers, rest surrender spared death!”
Voice like thunder, with majestic might, shaking many people’s spirits scattered, nearly dropping weapons in hands.
“Pah, Hao Yi brat, let me see how capable you are.”
Ma Tianxiong behind Tong Bei Ape rose, green-skinned fangs, actually three-tenths Yaksha appearance.
He punched violently, Hao Yi’s Ink Flood Dragon True Intent spat black light, directly blasting him down into Ma Family courtyard.
His waist Beast Taming Bag opened, releasing another ink-colored flood lizard, charging into the courtyard.
Cold aura released, crushing many people’s spirits, blood basin big mouth opened, swallowing a As Desired Stage martial artist.
It though not reaching Divine Union strength, yet second-order late-stage realm, also ferocious feral beast.
“Kill”
Hao Yi one command, nine Feather Flying Knives consecutively flew into Ma Family, piercing hearts of guards and Ma Family disciples, extremely sharp.
Ma Tianxiong fought desperately, almost burning all around qi and blood, true essence.
Unfortunately, same Spirit Merging Stage martial artist, Hao Yi’s means stronger, just relying on spirit tool Feather Flying Knives already enough to make Ma Tianxiong unable to resist.
Just three, forty rounds, Ma Family courtyard under True Intent beast spirit collision, turned into a pile of ruins.
Hao Yi personally beheaded Ma Tianxiong’s head, bringing Ma Lidong, Ma Lixue siblings, not one escaped.
Dantian, acupoints crippled, Ma Family disciples all imprisoned in cages, no more turnaround possible.
Hao Yi beheaded Ma Tianxiong, then ordered: “Beast King Sect commands, rebel Ma Family executed, tonight street rioters regarded as accomplices!”
Voice resounded entire Ma Wang Town, with his command conveyed, entire Ma Wang Town also completely controlled by Beast King Sect people, beginning all-night purge.
Story splits two ways, Su Yan after leaving Blustering Wind Valley, traveled not forty li, felt two powerful auras colliding.
His expression moved, commanding Six-Winged Blood Centipede to speed up.
Approaching bit more, sky full of flying snow almost obscured sight.
Four ice walls abruptly a hundred meters high, cold wind like knives, forming barrier.
And within this ice walls, a frost-white massive centipede fighting a blue-faced fanged bare upper-body old man.
Called fighting, actually just one-sided slaughter.
Ma Dingshan’s half body long frozen and cracked, blood not flowing out already turned ice lumps.
Green skin dull, evidently necrotic.
His aura weak to extreme, yet still madly launching attacks, swept flying by Mysterious Frost Sky Centipede’s tail.
Su Yan just arrived, grabbed by a force, pulled to atop ice wall.
Long Qiushui stood there, eyes slightly raised: “Solo fighting Divine Union, Martial Uncle’s Star Constellation Profound Beast Skill on you, indeed suitable.”
