The First Venerable of All Paths

Thank you!

After saying that, the withered old monster turned and fled without a second thought.

He was terrified that if he hesitated even a moment, Fang Xuan would kill him just as he had killed his two companions.

Judging from their exchange just now, he simply didn't believe that Fang Xuan was at the Qi Gathering Realm.

He's actually a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who's pretending to be weak while actually being strong!

At such a young age, he already possesses the cultivation level of the Condensation Realm and the earth fire, a supreme treasure of heaven and earth.

This means that Fang Xuan's background is incredibly powerful.

At the very least, they are no weaker than the Ming family of Mingyang County.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the withered monster escape, Zheng Chu's face turned dark.

"Nie Song, you go!"

Zheng Chu looked at Nie Song and said, "Kill that brat!"

"I?"

Nie Song looked bitter.

"What's wrong?"

Suppressing his anger, Zheng Chu said in a deep voice, "Can't you even handle an ant at the Qi Gathering Realm?"

"But......"

Nie Song wanted to say that even Poisonous Enchantress and Ghost Child had fallen to Fang Xuan, and the Withered Old Monster had been scared away.

This proves that the kid's true combat strength is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

He worried that Fang Xuan might have other trump cards up his sleeve, potentially putting him in a dangerous situation.

"There's no 'but' about it!"

Zheng Chu said, "If you want to join the Ming family with me, you must listen to me!"

"rest assured."

Seeing Nie Song's grim expression, Zheng Chu comforted him, "That kid has been through two battles, so he must be quite exhausted. Even if he really has some trump card, I'll back him up."

"good!"

Nie Song was persuaded.

He felt that Zheng Chu's words made sense.

No matter how strong Fang Xuan is, he must not have much Yuan energy in his body.

Moreover, he wasn't like those three useless old monsters who were already familiar with Fang Xuan's methods, so he naturally had corresponding countermeasures.

"call!"

Nie Song took out a long spear and strode towards Fang Xuan.

With each step Nie Song took, his cultivation level increased by one point.

Six steps later, Nie Song planted his spear on the ground, unleashing his full power as a peak-level cultivator of the Condensation Realm.

"Kid, I'll only fire three shots!"

Nie Song pointed his spear at Fang Xuan and said, "If you can withstand three of my spear strikes and survive, I will not make things difficult for you."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Chu frowned.

Nie Song seemed to lack confidence in defeating Fang Xuan.

"Nie Song, don't hold back."

Zheng Chu reminded him, "Once I advance to the Divine Intent Realm, I will definitely help you break through!"

Nie Song did not respond to this.

He channeled his inner energy into the spear.

The gun barrel was covered with sharp, gleaming blades.

"The first shot, a hundred kills turned to frost!"

Nie Song let out a cold shout and thrust his spear fiercely towards Fang Xuan.

One shot, and a hundred frosts fall.

Each spear strike, like a sheet of frigid ice, enveloped Fang Xuan.

Hundreds of spear beams covered the sky and stretched endlessly.

"The flames of war will spread, break through!"

Fang Xuan flicked his finger, and golden-red flames roared out, instantly transforming into flames filling the sky.

All the spear points, upon touching the flames, vanished into nothingness as if they had been thrown into the sea.

"The second shot, a hundred battles in reincarnation!"

Nie Song had never intended to kill Fang Xuan with one shot, so he immediately fired a second shot.

Although the Spear Holding Technique is only a high-grade Yellow Rank spear technique, Nie Song has immersed himself in this martial art for many years and has already reached a state of consummate skill.

The three spear techniques are all more powerful than the last.

The three shots were fired in quick succession, comparable to a Xuan-level spear technique.

Nie Song gripped the gun with both hands and brandished it wildly.

The shadows of guns flashed and merged into one, their fighting spirit reaching its peak.

"kill!"

All the gun shadows finally coalesced on the gun barrel, piercing through the air and heading towards Fang Xuan.

"Brother Fang Xuan, be careful! This is Nie Song's spear-holding technique; its power is extraordinary!"

From a distance, Li Tianjiao quickly spoke up to remind him.

Fang Xuan narrowed his eyes and gently patted the sword box on his back.

"Their names are all impressive, but their effectiveness is only so-so."

As soon as the voice fell, Fang Xuanyuan circulated his energy and threw a punch.

Killing Dao King Fist, Dao Falls, Fist Ends!

The fist was thrown, and the world fell silent.

With a single punch, all things perish.

The ultimate killing intent erupted at this moment, colliding with the dazzling spear light.

"Snap!"

The spear's edge shattered, vanishing into nothingness.

Nie Song's arm trembled, and he staggered backward.

"hiss!"

Nie Song took a deep breath and looked at Fang Xuan with a look of shock.

I used to think Fang Xuan was strong, but I also felt that his abilities were limited.

However, only after actually fighting Fang Xuan did one realize just how terrifying Fang Xuan's true combat power was.

"But I still have one shot left!"

Nie Song took a deep breath, his eyes becoming resolute.

"If this shot doesn't kill you, I won't strike again!"

After saying that, Nie Song poured all the Yuan energy in his body into the gun.

"Buzzing!"

The spear trembled, and the pebbles on the ground shook as well.

"laugh!"

Nie Song tightened his grip on his spear, completely concealing his aura.

His back was straight, like a gun.

At first glance, Nie Song and the gun seemed to be perfectly integrated.

But Fang Xuan could sense the madness that was being suppressed deep within him.

"Man and weapon as one, suppressing the heavens!"

The next moment, Nie Song moved.

He became one with his spear, charging straight at Fang Xuan with lightning speed.

Although they were not yet close, Fang Xuan could feel a chilling, sharp spear intent locking onto him.

Fang Xuan's expression also turned serious.

After all, he was a peak expert at the Condensation Realm.

This was his strongest attack yet, so its power was naturally extraordinary.

But Fang Xuan showed no fear whatsoever.

He patted the sword case gently with his palm once more.

Seeing that the spear tip was only an inch away from him, Fang Xuan made his move.

He slammed his palm heavily on the sword case.

"All swords return to nothingness, slay!"

A cold shout rose in his heart, and a torrent of sword energy surged forth from the sword box, like a rain of swords, sweeping down upon Nie Song.

"Jingle bells!"

The spear's edge and the sword's energy collided, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

Amidst the flying sparks, a figure retreated frantically.

"Snap!"

As the last sword energy fell, the spear broke into several pieces.

"snort!"

Nie Song groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

His body was covered with countless hideous wounds.

"What terrifying sword energy!"

Looking at the sword wounds covering his body, Nie Song smiled bitterly: "I lost."

With that, Nie Song turned and left, seemingly not intending to make a move against Fang Xuan.

"stop!"

However, Fang Xuan's cold voice rang in his ears.

"Three shots have been fired, what more do you want?"

Nie Song looked at Fang Xuan, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

"how?"

Fang Xuan sneered: "Do you really think we should just let this go?"

"Do you intend to kill me?"

Nie Song's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Boy, I just didn't want to push things too far. Otherwise, if Elder Zheng had intervened, would you have had a chance to live?"

"If he dared to make a move, why would he let you all die while he chose to stand by and watch?"

Fang Xuan chuckled, his tone full of sarcasm.

Nie Song turned to look at Zheng Chu and found that the latter's expression was changing, and he was actually hesitating.

Nie Song's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that even Elder Zheng is wary of Fang Xuan?

"Boy, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

Seemingly enraged by Fang Xuan's words, Zheng Chu's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"I originally intended to make you hand over the bead and the earth fire voluntarily, so I could spare your life. Since you've shown no mercy, I won't hesitate to finish you off myself!"

After saying that, Zheng Chu appeared in front of Fang Xuan in a few flashes.

He raised his arm, and a palm strike imbued with Yuan energy aimed directly at Fang Xuan's head.

"die!"

Just as the palm strike was about to land on Fang Xuan, a red bracelet on Fang Xuan's wrist flashed with light.

A violent aura that made the entire Red Spring Town tremble instantly swept across the heavens and earth.

"Who do you want to die?"
