The First Venerable of All Paths

"Buzz!"

Seemingly understanding Fang Xuan's words, the Phoenix Cry Sword trembled even more noticeably.

"Don't rush, don't rush."

Fang Xuan gently stroked the sword and said softly, "I'll let you have some fun later."

He looked up at the three battlefields in mid-air, his eyes narrowing slightly.

After the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor was unsealed, his strength directly increased to the sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm, firmly suppressing Liu Ming.

However, as one of the four elders of the Beast Taming Hall and a powerful expert at the fifth level of the Divine Intent Realm, Liu Ming possesses martial arts skills and supernatural abilities, giving him a natural advantage against demonic beasts.

However, this only works on ordinary monsters.

Chi Lin possesses the bloodline of the Crimson Blood Python and once stood at the peak of the Demon Emperor realm.

However, having been sealed beneath a secret lake for many years, its vital energy and blood were weakened.

However, with Fang Xuan's help, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's strength has recovered quite well during this period. Coupled with his powerful physical body, dealing with Liu Ming is not difficult.

Therefore, as the battle continued, Liu Ming also felt immense pressure, and his decline gradually became apparent.

"Knock knock knock!"

After once again withstanding the fierce attack of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, Liu Ming was also forced to retreat dozens of meters.

He steadied himself, his face extremely pale.

"If we don't deal with this beast quickly, and it drags on any longer, even I will be in danger."

He glanced at the other two battle groups. Even though Su Chongming had completely suppressed Fang Shanhai, he couldn't free up his hands for a short time.

Not to mention Xue Wushang.

His fight with Li Shanya was not at all a full-force attack; it seemed more like he was stalling for time.

"That bastard, he's still holding back his strength at a time like this!"

Liu Ming could easily guess Xue Wushang's thoughts.

Seeing that he was no match for the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, Xue Wushang deliberately conserved his strength and chose to observe.

Once he loses, this guy will definitely run away without hesitation.

"The only option now is to use that thing."

Seeing the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor charging towards him again, a cold glint appeared in Liu Ming's eyes.

He flipped his hand and took out a long nail.

The long nail was entirely white, like a piece of white bone, shimmering with a cold light and exuding a sinister aura.

This is the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail, forged from the bones of the Demon Emperor.

It is a unique treasure of the Beast Taming Hall, which has a natural restraining effect on demonic beasts.

By sealing the soul of a demon beast within a statue, one can create a Beast-Taming Statue.

The remaining bones can be used to make Demon-Subduing Bone Nails.

Each one is incredibly precious.

More importantly, the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail requires the user's own spiritual power to exert its maximum effect.

"No matter how precious this Demon-Subduing Bone Nail is, it's all worth it if we can subdue this beast!"

A resolute look appeared on Liu Ming's face, and he then poured his divine soul power into the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail.

"Buzzing!"

In an instant, the cold light on the white bone nails grew even stronger, making everyone feel a chill and involuntarily look up.

Seeing that the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor was only a few meters away from him, Liu Ming no longer hesitated and with a wave of his hand, he threw out the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail.

"Whoosh!"

The Demon-Subduing Bone Nail shot out like an arrow, transforming into a streak of light that hurtled towards the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

In the sky, all that could be seen was a streak of light flashing by before crashing heavily into the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

Surprisingly, no unusual phenomena were reported.

The white bone nails clung to the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor like maggots clinging to bones.

But upon closer inspection, the bone nail was spinning wildly, trying to drill through the Crimson Scale Demon King's scales and pierce his body.

At the same time, the aura emanating from the bone nail seemed to suppress the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, leaving him utterly powerless to resist.

"It's done!"

Liu Ming's eyes lit up.

Any demon beast that gets stuck to the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail is completely unable to escape.

In the end, their bloodlines will be sealed by the Demon-Subduing Bone Nails, turning them into fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a crack appeared on the scales of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail pierced into the flesh of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

"Now!"

Liu Ming gave a soft shout and quickly formed hand seals, releasing his divine soul power in preparation to seal the bloodline of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

But at that moment, the aura emanating from the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor suddenly surged.

"This is......"

Sensing the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's aura growing stronger once again, Liu Ming's expression suddenly changed drastically.

He was about to react when it was too late.

"Click-clack!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's body trembled, and the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail shattered instantly.

"puff!"

As the bone nail shattered, Liu Ming seemed to suffer a backlash, suddenly spitting out a mouthful of blood, his aura much weaker than before.

This is the drawback of the Demon-Subduing Bone Nail.

If you fail, you will suffer the consequences.

This is also why Liu Ming hesitated.

"You think this piece of junk can deal with me, the Emperor?"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor shook its body, and the places where it had been pierced by the bone nails were now covered with flesh and blood, completely restored.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor vanished from his spot.

"not good!"

Liu Ming's pupils contracted, and he retreated without hesitation.

"Boom!"

But at that moment, a dark shadow came hurtling from behind and slammed into Liu Ming's back.

"Boom!"

The terrifying force sent Liu Ming flying hundreds of meters, crashing into another mountain peak.

Without pausing for a moment, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor reappeared where Liu Ming had fallen, its giant claw, wreathed in demonic power, slamming down downwards.

If Liu Ming fails to withstand this attack, he will surely die.

"Boom!"

The mountain collapsed, and the rubble turned into dust.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's giant claws fell like meteors, completely crushing the mountain peak.

"Um?"

However, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor exclaimed in surprise and looked towards the air a hundred meters away.

Liu Ming had appeared there without anyone noticing.

But now, his clothes were tattered, his mouth was bloody, and his hair was disheveled; he looked as wretched as could be.

"Damn it!"

Liu Ming clutched his chest, breathing heavily.

"I'll spare you for now, but next time we meet, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

After saying that, Liu Ming turned around and fled.

"Liu Ming, what do you mean by this?"

Su Chongming, who had just defeated Fang Shanhai, roared angrily upon seeing this.

But Liu Ming didn't respond at all; instead, he fled even faster.

"You bastard!"

This infuriated Su Chongming, who then launched into a tirade of curses.

If Liu Ming leaves, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor will be free to deal with him, wouldn't he be in danger?

No!

We need to finish this quickly!

He glanced at Fang Shanhai not far away, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Once we kill you first, that demon emperor will be nothing to fear!"

With a muttered word to himself, Su Chongming suddenly formed a hand seal.

The rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth immediately converged towards him, condensing into a giant cyan palm.

"Great Transformation Heavenly Palm!"

Su Chongming gave a soft shout and suddenly pressed his palm down on Fang Shanhai.

"go!"

As the voice faded, the cyan palm descended heavily upon Fang Shanhai like a curtain of the sky.

In an instant, spiritual energy surged, and the sky darkened.

"This is... an Earth-rank martial art?"

Looking at the giant blue hand in the sky, Fang Xuan, with his sword across his knee, narrowed his eyes.

This Great Transformation Palm clearly doesn't belong to the Su family; it must have been given to me by Su Qingyao.

"Su Qingyao, you really haven't changed your ways. You never forget to help the Su family, no matter what."

Fang Xuan's eyes were somewhat cold.

Before Su Qingyao revealed her true nature, she used various excuses to get Fang Xuan to give the Su family all sorts of benefits.

After entering the Dao Seeking Sect, Su Qingyao continued to secretly send all sorts of good things to the Su family.

This includes, but is not limited to, helping Su Chongming break through to the Divine Realm.

For example, this Great Transformation Heavenly Palm.

"Mountains collapsing and rocks splitting!"

Faced with Su Chongming's terrifying palm strike, Fang Shanhai dared not be careless.

He channeled all his spiritual energy and unleashed a powerful punch.

Crashing mountains and splitting rocks is one of the Fang family's martial arts techniques.

Although it was only at the lower level of the Xuan rank, Fang Shanhai's mastery of this martial art had reached a level of consummate skill.

With a single punch, the world lost its color.

The domineering fist energy seemed capable of shattering this world.

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the two martial arts techniques collided violently, and the violent spiritual energy instantly swept out in all directions.

In a short time, countless buildings were destroyed.

"Who's winning?"

Under the tense gaze of everyone, a figure was suddenly sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

It was Fang Shanhai!

He lost!

Not to mention that the level of Mountain-Shattering and Rock-Splitting Palm is far inferior to that of the Great Transformation Heavenly Palm, Fang Shanhai's cultivation level is also inferior to that of Su Chongming.

"Fang Shanhai, you can die now!"

Seeing Fang Shanhai's defeat, Su Chongming's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he directly punched Fang Shanhai.

This is an attempt to kill the enemy with a single blow and end the battle!

Su Chongming's speed increased, and the power in his fist reached its peak.

With Fang Shanhai dead, the Fang family is no longer a threat!

"Hey Su, you've probably forgotten your Grandpa Red Scale, haven't you?"

Just as Su Chongming's attack was about to land on Fang Shanhai, a thunderous sound suddenly exploded in the sky.

next moment.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor suddenly appeared above Su Chongming's head and slammed down with its giant claws.

If Su Chongming insists on killing Fang Shanhai, he too will face certain death.

"Damn beast!"

A hint of resentment flashed in Su Chongming's eyes, but he had no choice but to give up on killing Fang Shanhai.

With a flash, Su Chongming appeared hundreds of meters away, looking at Chi Lin with a solemn expression.

This demon emperor is equivalent to a sixth-level Divine Intent Realm expert; he is far from being a match for it.

"Thank you very much, Demon Emperor, for saving me. I am deeply grateful."

Fang Shanhai, who had miraculously survived, still looked shaken.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor waved his hand dismissively and said, "Go rest over there, I'll take care of this guy."

Fang Shanhai hesitated for only a moment before turning to another battle group.

Although he is injured, he should be able to quickly defeat Xue Wushang if he works with Li Shanya.

Seeing Fang Shanhai heading straight for him, Xue Wushang's face turned green.

"We can't hesitate any longer, we have to go!"

Liu Ming escaped first. Su Chongming, that good-for-nothing, was no match for the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor. If he continued to delay, only death awaited him.

Given the grudges and conflicts between him and the Fang family, they will definitely not let him go.

"Let's go!"

Before Fang Shanhai could get close, Xue Wushang formed a hand seal and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, enveloping him in it.

"laugh!"

The next instant, Xue Wushang transformed into a streak of blood-red light and headed straight for the outskirts of Qingyang County.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Its speed is astonishing.

"Hmph, he actually managed to escape."

Li Shanya felt somewhat regretful.

"It's alright."

Fang Shanhai said, "Let's deal with the immediate problem first."

After saying that, Fang Shanhai lunged at Su Chongming again.

Li Shanya hesitated for only a moment before also choosing to attack Su Chongming.

Now that things have come to this, he has no other choice.

Seeing Liu Ming and Xue Wushang escape one after another, Chi Lin joined forces with Fang Shanhai and others to force Su Chongming into a series of defeats.

Fang Xuan then knew.

The outcome is decided today!
