The First Venerable of All Paths

Qingyang County.

Outside the Wulou Tower.

Everyone stared at the golden name atop the stone tablet and fell silent.

Shock!

Horrifying!

terror!

They actually witnessed a miracle.

Fang Xuan actually made it through nine floors and reached the top of the Martial Tower.

Throughout the tens of thousands of years since the Martial Tower was built, no more than a hundred people have ever been able to reach the top of the Martial Tower.

Without exception, all of these people became top experts renowned in their respective regions.

In the entire Qingyang County, and even in the entire Qingzhou region, only Fang Xuan has achieved this.

The two characters "Fang Xuan" are prominently displayed at the top of the stone tablet, overshadowing the names of the people below.

Like a king ruling the world.

In front of the stone monument.

Everyone fell silent.

Fang Yurong was lost in thought.

Li Tianjiao parted her red lips slightly, unable to hide her shock.

Su Chen slowly collapsed to the ground, his face ashen.

He lost.

A complete and utter defeat.

Fang Xuan's ascent to the sixth floor was already quite unexpected.

Reaching the seventh floor will overturn everyone's perception.

Climb to the eighth floor and create a miracle.

Passing through the ninth floor is something that ordinary people simply cannot do.

This is a miracle!

"clatter!"

"clatter!"

"clatter!"

The footsteps sounded, as if they were stepping on everyone's hearts, suffocating them and making them tremble.

The young man was dressed in white, with a graceful and elegant figure.

As he strode forward, everyone instinctively made way for him.

Fang Xuan stopped in front of Su Chen.

"Su Chen, you've lost."

The boy's face was still somewhat immature, but he already possessed the imposing presence of a powerful figure.

His gaze swept around, and no one dared to meet his eyes; they all lowered their heads.

Even Fang Yurong was intimidated by Fang Xuan's aura and subconsciously took a step back.

"Defeat? So what!"

Su Chen gave a bitter laugh, then burst into laughter.

He glared at Fang Xuan, his face contorted with rage, and said, "Fang Xuan, even if I lose, do you dare to kill me? Do you dare?!"

Many people frowned slightly.

I think Su Chen is a sore loser.

"My Su family is one of the three great families of Qingyang County."

Su Chen said in a low voice, "My Su family's Su Qingyao is now a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect, and she and the Dao Seeking Sect's prodigy Zhao Qingcang are deeply in love. Do you dare to kill me?"

"Killing me would mean offending the entire Dao Seeking Sect!"

Su Chen stared at Fang Xuan and said, word by word, "Your Fang family cannot bear this consequence. You, Fang Xuan, cannot bear it either!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

They then realized that the Su family was no longer what it used to be.

Leaving aside the Su family's own strength and foundation.

Su Qingyao, who had joined the Dao Seeking Sect, was like a mountain, enough to crush the entire Fang family, making it impossible for them to breathe.

"I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Fang Xuan chuckled, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

"Su Chen, you overestimate your Su family, you overestimate Su Qingyao, and you especially overestimate the Dao Seeking Sect!"

The boy's tone was calm, yet his words were firm and resolute.

"Su Qingyao deceived me, crippled my martial meridians, destroyed my dantian, and cut off my path of cultivation."

"Zhao Qingcang stole my Dao body, leaving me with a near-death experience."

"This feud will begin with your Su family!"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Fang Xuan's words shocked and left everyone in disbelief.

Is it true that Fang Xuan assaulted Su Qingyao?

In reality, it was Su Qingyao who deceived Fang Xuan and destroyed his martial meridians and dantian.

Is Zhao Qingcang trying to forcibly seize Fang Xuan's innate Dao body?

How is that possible?

At this moment, even Li Tianjiao was shocked.

Fang Yurong, on the other hand, was deathly pale, her eyes filled with terror.

"Fang Xuan, you mustn't spout such treasonous words!"

It wasn't that she didn't trust Fang Xuan.

However, if these words were to reach the Dao Seeking Sect, they would definitely bring about the annihilation of the Fang family.

"Fang Xuan, you've gone completely mad!"

Su Chen sneered, "Not only did you offend my sister Su Qingyao, but you also dared to distort the truth and frame a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect. You, Fang Xuan, deserve to die, and your Fang family deserves to be destroyed!"

"Whether Fang Xuan deserves to be executed, I do not know."

Fang Xuan said indifferently, "But you, Su Chen, are going to die today."

After saying that, Fang Xuan raised his foot and kicked Su Chen in the head.

"Fang Xuan, how dare you!"

Su Chen slapped the ground with his palm, narrowly avoiding Fang Xuan's kick.

"If you kill me, the Su family will never let you get away with it!"

Fang Xuan sneered, "From the moment you humiliated my sister, I never intended to let you off the hook!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan moved like a dragon fish and instantly appeared in front of Su Chen.

With his fingers clenched tightly, he punched Su Chen in the chest.

In the critical moment, Su Chen raised his hands to block Fang Xuan's punch.

In his view, even if Fang Xuan stormed through nine floors and reached the top of the Martial Tower, he still couldn't kill him.

He's a Body Refinement Realm martial artist!

But when Fang Xuan's fist touched his arms, Su Chen realized that he was wrong.

And it's wildly wrong.

"Snap!"

A violent force erupted from Fang Xuan's fist, smashing Su Chen's arms and sending him flying, coughing up blood.

How is that possible!

Even those who witnessed this scene couldn't help but gasp in shock.

No matter what, Su Chen is still a Body Refinement Realm martial artist.

Fang Xuan, at best, only possessed the cultivation level of the Blood Creation Realm.

He defeated Su Chen with a single blow.

Fighting against opponents of a higher level!

It even occupies the top position, which is simply unbelievable.

"Fang Xuan, you..."

Su Chen stared at Fang Xuan with a look of horror and disbelief.

But Fang Xuan didn't waste any words and continued to throw punches at Su Chen.

With his martial arts prowess at its peak, dealing with Su Chen, who had just broken through to the Body Refinement Realm, would be a piece of cake for him.

Su Chen knew he couldn't withstand Fang Xuan's second punch at all.

"You little beast, stop right now!"

Just then, a furious roar came from afar.

Then, a middle-aged man rushed over at an extremely fast speed to stop Fang Xuan.

The person who arrived was none other than the second master of the Su family.

Su Chongshan.

He is also Su Chen's father.

"Father, save me!"

The appearance of Su Chongshan was like a savior to Su Chen, who immediately cried out for help.

Even if a god came today, he couldn't save you!

Fang Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he moved three times faster.

"die!"

Dragonfish used its movement technique, taking a step to stand in front of Su Chen, unleashing a burst of fist energy that struck Su Chen's chest with extreme precision.

"puff!"

Su Chen's chest caved in, and the remaining force surged out from his back.

He himself was blasted several meters away by a punch, landing right in Su Chongshan's arms, where he died instantly.

"My son!"

Holding Su Chen's body, Su Chongshan's voice was mournful.

"You little beast, how dare you kill my son! I'll tear you to pieces!"

With his son murdered, Su Chongshan's eyes turned bloodshot, and he unleashed his full power as a cultivator at the Qi Gathering Realm.

The next moment, Su Chongshan pounced on Fang Xuan and slapped him on the head.

"Fang Xuan, run!"

Seeing Su Chongshan attack Fang Xuan, Fang Yurong exclaimed in surprise, her cultivation flowing, and she was about to intervene.

But another figure was faster than her.

"Bang! Bang!"

The green figure stood in front of Fang Xuan and struck out with two palms, blocking Su Chongshan's attack.

However, this caused him to retreat continuously, and his internal energy churned.

It was Li Tianjiao!

"Brother Fang Xuan, you go first."

Without turning his head, Li Tianjiao said, "I'll hold this guy off for you."

Seeing that Li Tianjiao actually stood up for Fang Xuan and even called him "brother," many people were heartbroken, even though the occasion was inappropriate.

Could it be that Li Tianjiao has feelings for Fang Xuan?

Fang Yurong was even more horrified, as if she had seen a ghost.

The three families have always been at odds, with the Fang and Li families being even more hostile than the previous Su family.

When did Fang Xuan and Li Tianjiao become so close?

"Li Tianjiao!"

Su Chongshan's noodles trembled as he angrily said, "My son admires you, and you not only refuse to avenge him, but you also protect this little bastard?"

"Su Chongshan, have you lost your mind?"

Li Tianjiao said, "Just because Su Chen admires me, I have to avenge him? Is your head full of shit?"

"you......"

Being reprimanded by a junior in front of so many people almost made Su Chongshan vomit blood.

"What do you mean, 'you'?"

Li Tianjiao interrupted Su Chongshan directly: "The bet between Su Chen and Brother Fang Xuan was witnessed by everyone, and Wu Lou also gave its consent. He deserved to die. If you dare to bully the weak and attack Brother Fang Xuan, are you disregarding Wu Lou?"

Hearing this, everyone's faces looked strange.

This Li Tianjiao, for Fang Xuan's sake, actually went so far as to publicly reprimand Su Chongshan.

That's incredibly bold.

"That sharp-tongued brat!"

Su Chongshan was filled with rage, and he shouted, "How dare you speak so rudely! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your elders!"

"My granddaughter is none of your business, Su Chongshan, lecturing her!"

An aged voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a figure descended from the sky and landed heavily in front of Su Chongshan, his aura raging fiercely.

The extremely explosive entrance shook the ground.

Many people even fell to the ground.

Li Shanya, the head of the Li family!

A powerful cultivator who has reached the Qi Condensation Realm.

"grandfather!"

Upon seeing Li Shanya appear, Li Tianjiao pouted, grabbed Li Shanya's sleeve and shook it, her face full of grievance.

"If you had come any later, you wouldn't have gotten to see your sweet and lovely granddaughter, sob sob sob."

Upon hearing this, Li Shanya was immediately heartbroken.

"Don't be afraid, my dear granddaughter."

Li Shanya's expression changed, and he said softly, "With Grandpa here, let's see who dares to lay a finger on you!"

Suddenly, Li Shanya looked at Su Chongshan.

"You little brat, you want to kill my granddaughter? How dare you!"

The release of the aura of the Condensation Realm directly forced Su Chongshan back several steps.

Upon hearing this, everyone's noodles twitched.

It is said that Li Shanya is extremely protective of his own, and he dotes on his granddaughter Li Tianjiao as if she were a precious gem.

Seeing it today, it's even more terrifying than the rumors suggested.

"Patriarch Li, this is a misunderstanding."

Su Chongshan waved his hands repeatedly.

"This matter arose because Fang Xuan killed my son, and your granddaughter interfered for no reason. I was just..."

"Shut up!"

Before Su Chongshan could finish speaking, Li Shanya suddenly shouted coldly.

"My granddaughter has always been the most sensible person. Why would she obstruct me for no reason? It must be you, you little brat. Your own son is dead, and you're jealous that I have such a lovely granddaughter, so you tried to harm her. How vicious you are!"

"puff!"

Su Chongshan, already consumed by rage, was so furious this time that he actually vomited blood.

"Master Li, are you truly going to be so unreasonable?"

Su Chongshan said, word by word, "Or do you really think that my Su family is afraid of your Li family?"
