The First Venerable of All Paths

"What terrifying martial arts!"

Wen Kui's pupils shrank sharply. Even before the fist landed on him, a strong sense of impending death surged in his heart.

He hastily changed his sword stance, wanting to parry, but the half of his body had already been severely injured by the Phoenix Fire, making his movements a beat slower and his Yuan Power circulation extremely sluggish.

"Bang!"

A dull, loud thud echoed throughout the street as the fist slammed into Wen Kui's chest.

The fist, brimming with domineering and deadly power, exploded out with a deafening roar, and the crisp sound of ribs breaking inch by inch could be clearly heard.

Wen Kui flew backward like a kite with a broken string, flying more than ten feet before crashing heavily into the stone wall at the end of the alley.

Wen Kui's chest was caved in, and he was gushing blood, mixed with shattered internal organs.

Wen Kui's eyes were wide open, and he was completely lifeless.

A martial arts master at the first level of the Qi Condensation Realm was killed by Fang Xuan with a single punch, without even the slightest power to resist!

The remaining Wen family martial artist at the Qi Condensation Realm was still in shock from Fang Xuan's ruthless methods of burning and killing a group of Wen family disciples and remotely killing Wen Lin.

Seeing Wen Kui die tragically on the spot, his legs trembled uncontrollably, and he dared not have the slightest will to fight.

Seeing Fang Xuan stop his fist and stand still, he gave him a cold glance.

The martial artist froze, took several steps back, turned and fled, not even daring to look back.

In the blink of an eye, the Wen family members who came to besiege Fang Xuan were either killed or fled.

The entire street was deathly silent, with only the heavy breathing of the Ming family's martial artists remaining.

Looking at Fang Xuan's retreating figure, Li Xintong's beautiful eyes widened in shock.

She originally thought that Fang Xuan would at most be evenly matched with Wen Kui, but she did not expect that the other party would kill him with a single punch.

The strength of his methods and the stability of his mind far exceeded her expectations.

That slightly thin figure now appeared incredibly tall and imposing.

Li Xintong's heart began to pound again.

The Ming family warriors were horrified, their eyes filled with apprehension as they looked at Fang Xuan.

They thought that besieging and killing Fang Xuan would be a piece of cake.

But only now did they realize that this young boy was not a ruthless character they could easily control.

No wonder even the young master died at his hands.

Mingche stood at the front of the crowd, his expression still calm.

But the murderous intent in his eyes grew stronger, along with a hint of barely perceptible greed.

"Fang Xuan, you are even stronger than I expected."

Mingche took two steps forward.

Although no elemental power was released, it made everyone feel as if their breathing had become suffocated.

"If you hadn't killed my brother and my Ming family, we would have been locked in a life-or-death struggle long ago. I really wouldn't have been willing to kill you."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan curled his lip in disdain.

"Young Master Ming, you're only fooling yourself with these hypocritical words."

Fang Xuan said indifferently, "If you want to fight, then fight. There's no need for nonsense."

"Heh, what an annoying guy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingche moved suddenly.

Its speed was as fast as a ghost, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

His palm was swirling with Yuan energy, like a sharp blade capable of cutting through metal and stone, its edge fully revealed.

Fang Xuan's expression hardened, and he dared not be careless.

The next moment, the dragon fish used its movement technique, its body moving like a swimming fish to avoid Mingche's palm strike, while simultaneously throwing a punch.

Primordial Long Fist!

Fang Xuan had only been practicing this martial art for a short time, so naturally he wasn't as proficient as the Killing King Fist.

But it is most suitable for testing the depth of clarity.

The Taichu Long Fist, while seemingly characterized by its expansive and dynamic movements, is actually characterized by a balanced and controlled approach.

The gentle, flowing intent of the fist contains a violent power, combining both softness and strength.

However, Mingche's cultivation level was a whole realm higher than Fang Xuan's, and he also had extremely rich combat experience.

After exchanging only a dozen or so blows, Fang Xuan felt his arm go numb and his internal energy surge, forcing him to retreat and gradually fall into a disadvantageous position.

"Bang!"

As Mingche struck again, Fang Xuan raised his arm to block. An extremely yin and soft power swept over, directly knocking Fang Xuan back several steps, and his face turned slightly pale.

Steadying himself, Fang Xuan looked at Ming Che, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

This person is incredibly competitive!

Among the younger generation who have fought against Fang Xuan, Ming Che is undoubtedly number one.

"Fang Xuan!"

Li Xintong was extremely anxious and wanted to go forward to help, but the Ming family's Qi Condensation Realm martial artists subtly surrounded her.

In the shadows, an even more terrifying aura seemed to be locking onto her.

Li Xintong no longer acts rashly.

"Fang Xuan, is that all you've got?"

Mingche said indifferently, "That's really disappointing."

After testing each other, he discovered that although Fang Xuan only had the second level of Qi Gathering Realm cultivation, his combat strength was also extremely strong.

But in his opinion, it was nothing special.

"Young Master Ming, don't you think it's premature to say such things?"

Fang Xuan flicked his arm and chuckled, "That was just a warm-up. Shall we continue?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan's essence and blood reversed.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the essence and blood reversed, a vast and boundless power surged out from Fang Xuan's limbs and bones.

His aura surged, rising directly from the second level of the Qi Gathering Realm to the seventh level!

Instantly advance five minor realms.

"This...this is impossible!"

Mingche's expression froze for a moment, then his eyes flashed with a sharp light.

He had seen secret techniques for improving cultivation, but they only raised one or two minor realms.

Even Mingche didn't possess such a secret technique.

Not to mention the secret technique that can raise one's cultivation level by five minor realms in one go, Mingche has never even heard of it!

Li Xintong was so shocked that she covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes filled with horror.

She had seen countless geniuses, but none of them had ever been able to reverse their blood essence, forcibly raise their cultivation level, and still maintain their full combat power.

This was beyond her comprehension.

She finally understood that Fang Xuan had been holding back all along and hadn't used his full strength at all.

Even so, it's still far from being as clear as that.

"So what if my cultivation level skyrockets? I'm still just at the Qi Gathering Realm."

Mingche snapped out of his daze and said in a chilling tone, "To me, you are nothing more than an ant."

After saying that, Mingche unleashed several palm strikes in an instant.

The palm strikes were faster and more swift, dazzling the eye.

But Fang Xuan at this moment is no longer the same as before.

His eyes were icy cold as he unleashed the full power of the Primordial Long Fist, releasing his continuous fist intent in an impenetrable manner, perfectly parrying Ming Che's attack.

Fang Xuan's movements were agile, and his fist techniques were domineering.

His palm technique was ruthless and his Yuan energy was profound.

The two fought to a standstill, with neither able to gain the upper hand.

Mingche became increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. He was, after all, a cultivator at the Condensation Realm, yet he couldn't defeat a mere Qi Gathering Realm kid.

This completely humiliated his pride as a genius, and his anger grew even stronger.

After dozens of rounds, Mingche completely lost his patience and unleashed a powerful palm strike.

Fang Xuan clasped his fists together and unleashed a powerful punch.

This time, Fang Xuan and Ming Che each took a few steps back.

have equal shares!

He steadied himself abruptly, his eyes no longer concealing the murderous intent.

"It seems I really can't kill you without using some tricks."

With a flick of his wrist, Mingche produced a long spear, entirely crimson and covered in blood-red patterns.

The gun exuded a violent and bloodthirsty aura, and its tip gleamed coldly.

It was the weapon he photographed at Tianbao Tower—the Bloodbath Mad Spear!

With a gun in hand, Mingche's combat power surged instantly, his blood energy surging and his killing intent overwhelming.

Mingche gripped his spear tightly, the tip pointing directly at Fang Xuan, and said coldly, "Fang Xuan, you have reason to be proud to die by this spear. Today, I will use this spear to send you on your way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingche flicked the spear in his hand.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Crimson spear shadows danced across the sky, each strike carrying the power to tear through the air, the violent spear force sweeping in all directions and enveloping Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan dodged repeatedly, even pushing Long Yu's movement technique to its limit, just to barely withstand the spear's force.

However, his body was also slashed several times by the force of the gunshot, and blood seeped out.

"At this rate, we're bound to fail sooner or later!"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with anger, and he suddenly took a step back, swiftly snatching the sword box from his back.

"Thump!"

The sword case, like a small door panel, blocked all the spear shadows when it landed.

This sword case was given to Fang Xuan by the Sword Ruins Empress. It is an innate weapon that can contain all sword energy and weapons in the world and is indestructible.

For Bloodbath Mad Spear to break through the sword box and injure Fang Xuan is nothing short of a pipe dream.

Fang Xuan flicked his two fingers across the sword box, and a dazzling black sword aura shot into the sky.

The sword energy contained the power of annihilation and oblivion, seemingly capable of tearing everything apart.

"go!"

Fang Xuan pointed with two fingers, and sword energy roared out, colliding with a sharp spear shadow.

"Snap!"

Both shattered and vanished.

But there were too many guns, and the killing continued.

Fang Xuan flicked his fingers repeatedly, unleashing a continuous stream of sword energy that annihilated all the spear shadows.

For a moment, Mingche was completely helpless against Fang Xuan.

"Sword energy? You must be a sword cultivator!"

Mingche's pupils shrank suddenly, his face filled with shock. He hadn't expected that Fang Xuan not only possessed powerful palm techniques and a unique fire physique, but was also proficient in swordsmanship.

Such a multi-talented individual is nothing short of monstrous!

Sword cultivator?

Fang Xuan is actually a sword cultivator!

Li Xintong was shocked for what felt like the umpteenth time, her bright phoenix eyes fixed on Fang Xuan.

Even the force behind her only consists of one sword cultivator.

"It's not too late to understand now."

Fang Xuan chuckled: "Young Master Ming, stop holding back and show us your full strength."

"As you wish!"

Mingche let out a cold shout and poured his Yuan energy into the blood-red spear.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the crimson patterns on the Bloodbath Spear shone brightly.

A violent, bloodthirsty, and murderous ancient will erupted from the gun, soaring into the sky.

This will is none other than the divine soul will of Blood Madman, the weapon refiner who created the Blood War Madman Spear!

This person was an extraordinary individual, proficient in formations and weapon crafting.

He devoted his entire life to forging the Bloodbath Spear, and single-handedly killed three half-step Divine Intent Realm experts, becoming famous in one battle.

Before his fall, Blood Madness sealed all his power within his battle spear.

Once activated, it can summon a portion of his power, allowing for perfect control of the Bloodbath Berserker Gun.

With the help of Blood Frenzy's power, Mingche unleashed a soaring battle intent.

Furthermore, his cultivation level broke through the first level of the Condensation Realm and reached the peak of the second level of the Condensation Realm.

His murderous intent was almost tangible, and he became like a bloodthirsty beast with a ferocious and terrifying look in his eyes.

"Fang Xuan, prepare to die!"

Mingche brandished his gun and swept it wildly. The crimson spear energy transformed into a ferocious blood wolf, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on Fang Xuan. Its power was several times stronger than before.

Fang Xuan hurriedly activated the Returning Void Sword Qi to resist, but it was still shattered by the domineering spear force.

At the same time, the blood wolf transformed into a blood python and coiled towards Fang Xuan.

"snort!"

Fang Xuan's body trembled, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

"Fang Xuan!"

Upon seeing Fang Xuan injured, Li Xintong's pretty face changed, and she became extremely anxious.

However, several martial artists from the Ming family were watching closely, and their hidden aura approached once again, clearly not giving Li Xintong a chance to help.

"One last shot, and I'll kill you!"

Mingche held his spear horizontally in front of him, channeling all the Yuan energy within his body into the spear.

The two auras merged perfectly at this moment.

The intent to fire, the will to fight, and the intent to kill coalesced into a blood-red tiger behind Mingche.

"Awooo!"

The crimson tiger roared to the heavens, its ferocious battle intent sweeping across all directions.

"The spear has no ranks, the mad tiger reigns supreme!"

With a loud shout, Mingche swung his spear, which resembled a war tiger, and charged towards Fang Xuan.

"kill!"
