The First Venerable of All Paths

"laugh!"

A wisp of golden-red sword energy rose from the sword bone, traveled through the meridians, entered the arm, and blossomed from the fingertips.

"Snap!"

The heavy steel hammer, weighing over a hundred pounds, was as fragile as tofu in the face of this sword energy, and was pierced through on the spot.

The golden-red sword energy emanated from the heavy hammer, piercing through Fan Da's brow with lightning speed.

"puff!"

It wasn't until the sword energy emanated from the back of his head that Fan Da felt a sharp pain, as if all his strength had been drained away, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

"Well......"

Fan Da's eyes widened, and he died on the spot.

"Big brother!"

A cry of alarm rang out, and the remaining Qi Gathering Realm sixth-level martial artist immediately roared angrily, "You little beast, I'll kill you to avenge my elder brother!"

He rode in on his horse, wielding a long sword that slashed fiercely at Fang Xuan.

"He's courting death!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were indifferent, and the sword energy at his fingertips bloomed once again.

But it wasn't just one, but two, three, a total of five Taixu sword energies.

Fang Xuan condensed sword bones in the Taixu Sword Sea, cultivated the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Void Technique, and his innate sword energy naturally formed Taixu Sword Energy.

The Taixu Sword Qi can shatter all laws and cleave all things.

In particular, after Fang Xuan refined his natal flying sword and reached the Qi Gathering Realm, the power of the Tai Xu Sword Qi within the sword bone increased several times.

At this moment, five Taixu sword energies split into five directions and rushed towards Fan San with lightning speed.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Because Fan San was prepared, he was the first to avoid the three sword energies.

But the remaining two sword energies, one cleaved the longsword in his hand into pieces, and the other pierced through his chest.

"Wow!"

Fan San suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggered backward, and knelt on the ground.

His head drooped, and he could no longer lift it.

In just a short while, two of the three Qi Gathering Realm cultivators were dead and one was injured.

"How is that possible!"

Seeing Fan Da and Fan San perish one after another, the arrogance on Fan Xu's face vanished completely, replaced by intense despair and fear.

"The Fan family?"

Fang Xuan withdrew his arm and slowly said, "That's all!"

"Kid, you're far too arrogant!"

Suppressing his fear, Fan Xu shouted sternly, "This is Liusha County, the territory of the Fan family! You killed members of my family and offended the dignity of the Fan family. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't protect you today!"

Once upon a time, the four great families and three powerful forces of Liusha County were all arrogant and disdainful of others.

But since the rise of the Blood Fiend Gang, it has swept across all directions and intimidated all races.

In the end, only the Fan family remained.

Over the years, as the Blood Fiend Gang has grown stronger, the Fan family's status has also risen accordingly.

Throughout the entire Liusha County, anyone who saw a member of the Fan family had to lower their head and look down, not daring to look them in the eye.

This has fostered an increasingly arrogant attitude among the Fan family.

"Attack him together! Kill him!"

Fan Xu sneered, "Even if you have three heads and six arms, you can't escape this fate today!"

At his command, the ten Body Refinement Realm guards immediately spurred their horses and charged towards Fang Xuan.

"Brother Fang Xuan..."

Just as Li Tianjiao was about to speak, Fang Xuan raised his arm to stop him.

"They're just a bunch of chickens and dogs; I don't even consider them a threat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan patted the black iron sword box.

"Buzzing!"

The sound of swords echoed through the long street as hundreds and thousands of sword energies shot out from the black iron sword box, slashing towards the Fan family guards like streaks of light.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

"Aaaaaah!"

In an instant, the sounds of flesh tearing apart and agonizing screams echoed throughout the long street.

Within a few breaths, all ten guards were pierced through the body and were dead beyond any hope of survival.

"ha!"

Fan Xu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

The way they looked at Fang Xuan was as if they had seen a ghost.

"Who...who are you?"

He had never heard of anyone possessing such terrifying strength at such a young age.

Could he be a disciple of some powerful clan?

Or perhaps a disciple of a certain sect?

Don't say it was him.

Even Li Tianjiao, who had great confidence in Fang Xuan, was so surprised to see Fang Xuan kill Qi Gathering Realm warriors as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, and kill Body Refinement Realm warriors as easily as eating and drinking water that he covered his red lips.

Her beautiful eyes shone brightly.

Brother Fang Xuan, you're so handsome!

"You, a lackey of the Blood Fiend Gang, are not qualified to know who I am."

With a thought, Fang Xuan unleashed his sword energy, which pierced straight through Fan Xu's dantian.

"what!"

Fan Xu screamed in agony, his voice distorted with pain.

"You...you actually destroyed my dantian?"

The dantian is the foundation of a martial artist's cultivation.

A martial artist without a dantian is arguably worse than a pig or a dog.

Fang Xuan didn't waste any words with Fan Xu. With a flick of his wrist, he tied Fan Xu to the horse with a rope and continued on his way.

"You brat, how dare you insult me ​​like this! You'll die a horrible death!"

Fan Xu cursed venomously, but Fang Xuan remained unmoved and spurred his horse forward.

Soon, two long streaks of blood were left on the ground.

It stretches all the way to the end of the street.

at the same time.

Inside a luxurious mansion in Liusha County.

"Absolutely outrageous!"

As soon as Fan Yuan, the head of the Fan family, came out of the pass, he learned that his son, Fan Xun, had been tied up and paraded through the streets on horseback. He was furious.

"For so many years, no one has dared to act recklessly in front of the Fan family!"

Sensing the patriarch's anger, an elder said, "Patriarch, please calm down. The eldest young master has already taken Fan Da and Fan San out, and they should have captured that scoundrel by now."

"Oh?"

Fan Yuan's expression softened slightly, and he said, "Since Xu'er has personally taken action, there shouldn't be any surprises."

Unlike Fan Xun.

Fan Xu was talented from a young age and worked very hard.

He was even taken in as a disciple by Elder Blood Scythe of the Blood Fiend Gang and personally taught by him.

It can be said that the future of the entire Fan family rests on Fan Xu's shoulders.

With Fan Xu personally taking action, no matter how strong the opponent is, they won't be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Fan Yuan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Just then, a guard from the Fan family scrambled in and knelt down with a thud.

"Patriarch, elders, Commander Fan is dead!"

The guard's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, shocking everyone in the hall.

Fan Yuan spat out the tea he was drinking, soaking his clothes.

"How is that possible!"

The elder of the Fan family roared, "Fan Da was at the sixth level of the Qi Gathering Realm, and he's dead too?"

"good."

The guard said with a sob in his voice, "Not only him, but also more than ten guards, including Commander Fan, are all dead."

Ignoring his soaked clothes, Fan Yuan eagerly asked, "Where is the eldest young master?"

"Young Master..."

"explain!"

Fan Yuan roared angrily.

"The eldest young master's dantian was destroyed, and he was captured by that person."

The guards kept their heads down, not daring to look at Fan Yuan at all.

"Snap!"

Fan Yuan slammed his hand on the table, shattering it, and his thunderous rage echoed throughout the hall.

"Absolutely audacious! Utterly audacious!"

Fan Yuan suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot: "You dare to harm my son and sever the foundation of my Fan family? You're courting death!"

His cultivation at the Condensation Realm surged forth.

"Everyone, listen up!"

Fan Yuan's chilling voice reached everyone's ears.

"Follow me to slay the traitors and avenge my son!"

However, at that moment, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

"No need for you to trouble yourself, Patriarch Fan. I've come myself."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up and their pupils contracted simultaneously.

The newcomer, dressed in white and carrying a box, was undeniably handsome.

However, what angered Fan Yuan and the elders was that he was holding two ropes in his hands.

At the other end of the rope were Fan Yuan's two sons.

"Father...save me..."

Fan Xu, whose body was already mangled and bloody, managed to utter a barely audible sound.

He no longer possesses the demeanor of the eldest son of the Fan family.

As for Fan Xun, he had already fainted and was like a dead man.

"Xu'er, Xun'er!"

Seeing his two sons looking so miserable, Fan Yuan could no longer bear it.

His killing intent erupted like a volcano, and he struck out with a palm towards Fang Xuan.

"You little bastard, I'll kill you!"

Seeing Fan Yuan attacking him, Fang Xuan said calmly, "Patriarch Fan, don't make any rash moves, or I can't guarantee your son's life or death."

Fan Yuan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

It was Fang Xuan who placed his foot on Fan Xu's head.

With just a stomp of his foot, he could crush Fan Xu's head.

"You little bastard, how dare you threaten me?"

Fan Yuan roared in fury, "Do you even know where you are?"

Fang Xuan said with a smile, "The Fan family, of course I know about them."

"Since you know that, you still dare to act so presumptuously here?"

Fan Yuan asked in a chilling tone, "Are you truly not afraid of death?"

"Does Patriarch Fan think I wouldn't have visited alone if I wasn't confident?"

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a deeper meaning.

These words immediately startled the entire Fan family.

Fan Yuan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Having managed to latch onto the Blood Fiend Gang and establish himself in Liusha County for so many years, Fan Yuan is no fool; he has his own shrewdness.

He observed that Fang Xuan was so young, yet possessed an extraordinary demeanor.

If you didn't have some confidence, would you dare to provoke the entire Fan family on your own?

Unless you've got your head caught in a door.

"I'm warning you, if you don't give me, Fan, a reasonable explanation, I'll make you understand the consequences of offending the Fan family."

As he spoke, Fan Yuan gave the elder beside him a wink.

The latter understood and quietly got up and left.

It seems they're going to check if Fang Xuan has any accomplices and simultaneously surround this place.

"Don't be nervous, Patriarch Fan."

Fang Xuan, holding the rope, dragged Fan Xu and the other man like dead dogs, and sat them down on a chair.

Upon witnessing this scene, Fan Yuan's face twitched and his chest heaved violently.

The anger in his heart was almost uncontrollable.

"I've come here to help the Fan family."

Fang Xuan's words almost made Fan Yuan lose his temper.

"help me?"

Fan Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "You killed my Fan family members and cruelly murdered my two sons. Is this how you help my Fan family?"

The other elders of the Fan family also looked furious.

They felt that Fang Xuan was deliberately toying with them.

"I didn't want to either."

Fang Xuan said helplessly, "Who told them to provoke me first?"

"Kid, I don't have time to waste with you!"

Fan Yuan asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's very simple."

Fang Xuan said, "I will help your Fan family replace the Blood Fiend Gang and become the undisputed overlord of this Flowing Sand County."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yuan and the others thought they were hallucinating.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Fang Xuan looked at Fan Yuan.

At this moment, the elder of the Fan family returned and gently shook his head at Fan Yuan.

"You little bastard, you dare to pretend even when you're about to die? Die!"

Fan Yuan's face twisted in pain as he slapped Fang Xuan with his palm.

The palm strike was like thunder, its killing intent chilling.

"Oh dear, it's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."

Fang Xuan leaned back in his chair and waved his hand, saying, "Kill them."
