The First Venerable of All Paths

A hundred li outside Mingyang County lies Qingniu Ridge.

"Are you sure you can find that kid's whereabouts?"

Ming Yong looked at the young man beside him, his eyes filled with scrutiny and wariness.

"nature."

The pale-faced but sinister-looking young man nodded and said with a smile, "You could say that only I know where he is."

Ming Yong asked directly, "Why should I believe you?"

"because......."

A cold glint flashed in Gu Can's eyes, and he said in a slightly sinister tone, "I also want that guy dead!"

Sensing the murderous intent in Gu Can's words, Ming Yong frowned.

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

"I wish I could tear him to pieces!"

Gu Can said, "Patriarch Ming, if you trust me, I can help you deal with the demon king beside him. If you don't trust me, I will take care of it myself."

"Tell me, what do you want?"

Ming Yong couldn't believe that the other party would help him for no reason.

This person is incredibly cunning and scheming.

He even suspected that his son Mingche's repeated attempts to besiege Fang Xuan, which led to his demise, were all inextricably linked to Gu Can.

Therefore, Ming Yong was extremely wary after the other party invited him to meet here.

"I have only one condition."

Gu Can toyed with a chess piece in his hand and said indifferently, "That is, after the matter is accomplished, Patriarch Ming will do a small favor for me."

Immediately, Gu Can moved his lips and transmitted his voice to Ming Yong.

After listening, Ming Yong was taken aback at first, then laughed in a hoarse voice.

"Hehe, I didn't expect young friend Gu to be such a sentimental person."

Ming Yong said, "I agree to this. In addition, you can choose any two items from that boy's possessions."

"Including the sword case and weapon he carried, and his natal flying sword?"

"nature."

Ming Yong said, "As long as I can kill that little bastard and avenge my two sons, you may take all these worldly possessions, young friend Gu."

"Then I thank Patriarch Ming in advance!"

Gu Can smiled slightly, and the two parties reached an agreement.

of course.

Ming Yong was not without envy of Fang Xuan's sword box and natal flying sword.

But he thought much further ahead.

Ming Yong simply did not believe that Gu Can would be willing to help him just for a woman.

She's just a woman; she's not worth Gu Can having to restrain that demon emperor for him.

But since the other party has asked for the sword box and his natal flying sword, then everything makes sense.

"But are you sure you can handle that demon emperor?"

Ming Yong confirmed again, "After all, even if that demon emperor is severely injured, its strength is no less than mine."

"Don't worry, Patriarch Ming."

Gu Can smiled calmly: "Just because the one from the Beast Taming Hall can't deal with a mere Demon Emperor doesn't mean I can't."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yong's heart stirred.

Since this person knew that Liu Ming of the Beast Taming Hall had made a move, and still dared to say such things, it means that Gu Can's background and origins are also extraordinary.

Could he be from some force in the southeastern region?

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

"Um?"

At that moment, the chess piece in Gu Can's hand suddenly flashed with light.

"Found it!"

Gu Can gripped the chess piece, a cold glint in his eyes: "Patriarch Ming, there's no time to lose, let's set off."

"So urgent?"

Ming Yong said, "The martial artists from the Wen and Ming families will be here soon. Shall we wait a little longer?"

"Master Ming, don't you understand yet?"

Gu Can said, "Dealing with that kid won't be effective just by having more people. Only by accurately identifying his weaknesses can we defeat him in one fell swoop!"

Gu Can put it very tactfully, but Ming Yong understood perfectly.

Gu Can was telling him that if there were more people, his two sons wouldn't have lost their lives.

You're right.

Ming Yong took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a cold light, his tone as icy as ice.

"Let's go. This time, that little bastard will definitely not escape his fate!"

Ming Yong looked at Gu Can and gave him a meaningful look.

"No need for the Master Ming to trouble himself."

Gu Can chuckled, his Yuan energy shimmering, and a pair of black wings sprouted from his back.

Its wings were covered with strange and mysterious runes, making it look extremely extraordinary.

"Wings of flight?!"

Ming Yong was taken aback at first, then exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Ming Yong's tone was filled with shock and disbelief.

The Wings of Flight are a very unusual type of weapon.

It was made from the wings of flying monsters using special methods.

Martial artists only need to refine it, and even those at the Body Refinement Realm can fly through the air, but the consumption of Yuan Power is terrifying.

Moreover, the method for forging wings of flight has been lost for many years.

Therefore, even the lowest grade of flight wings cannot be bought with money.

For martial artists below the Divine Intent Realm, this is a life-saving treasure.

As far as Ming Yong knew.

Even the Beast Taming Hall, a force capable of controlling and taming demonic beasts, doesn't possess a single pair of wings for flight.

He had heard that there was only one such Beast Taming Mountain, which was used as a reward for the holy sons of the sects throughout the ages.

In other words, even if the power behind Gu Can is not as great as that of the Beast Taming Mountain, it is no less powerful than that of the Beast Taming Hall.

No wonder he has such confidence.

Ming Yong suddenly felt more confident about the plan.

Thinking of this, Ming Yong said, "It seems that young friend Gu is truly blessed, to even possess such a rare treasure."

Gu Can chuckled and said, "This item was a gift from an elder in my family. I hope you won't find it too embarrassing, Patriarch Ming."

Is this a warning to myself not to covet these flying wings?

Ming Yong didn't mind and said, "In this way, it will save me some spiritual energy."

Gu Can remained silent, but simply flapped his wings lightly, and like a black streak of light, flew towards the depths of the Lost Souls Mountain Range.

Seeing this, Ming Yong lightly stomped his foot on the ground, leaped into the air, and followed closely behind.

Two figures disappeared into the sky above Qingniu Ridge with lightning speed.

.......

"Snap!"

Lightning flashed and swept outwards.

The six-winged flying ant that pounced was instantly enveloped by lightning. Its body trembled, and it immediately fell to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died.

The Thunderfire Spear, infused with Thunderstone, now truly revealed its power.

The primordial power of thunder within it is something these ordinary six-winged flying ants cannot withstand.

Unfortunately, there were simply too many six-winged flying ants.

With a continuous influx of six-winged flying ants joining the ranks, including many ant leaders, Fang Xuan felt immense pressure.

After he blasted several six-winged flying ants to death, Fang Xuan swept his hand across the gun.

"call!"

Golden-red flames suddenly burst forth from the spear.

"A hundred kills turn to frost!"

Fang Xuan let out a low shout, and with a flick of his spear, dozens of spear shadows, carrying lightning, flames, and frost, shot out, killing one six-winged flying ant after another.

"hiss!"

Seeing Fang Xuan kill countless of his own kind, the two six-winged flying ants at the commander level could no longer restrain themselves. They immediately raised their sharp forelimbs and pounced on Fang Xuan like ghosts.

This is equivalent to two experts at the Qi Condensation Realm.

In addition, it is fast and its forelimbs are as sharp as knives.

This attack was too powerful for even an ordinary Qi Condensation Realm martial artist to withstand.

But a glint of light flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes.

"Now!"

Fang Xuan chewed and refined the pill in his mouth, turning it into pure Yuan energy, which he then poured entirely into the Thunderfire Spear.

"Man and gun as one!"

Fang Xuan's figure resembled a golden dragon fish, or an incomparably sharp spear, piercing through the bodies of the two six-winged flying ants one after the other, and heading straight out of the nest.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

A large number of six-winged flying ants shot over and, with lightning speed, tightly bit into Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan didn't stop, increasing his speed to the maximum, and finally turned into an abandoned passage.

Behind them, there were tens of thousands of six-winged flying ants.

The number of leaders among the ant tribes reached an astonishing hundreds.

Fang Xuan's expression was solemn. As he entered the depths of the passage, he crushed another array plate in his hand.

"Firemnant, Explode!"

As soon as he finished speaking, array patterns shot into the sky.

Within the formation, a terrifying sea of ​​fire erupted.

The sea of ​​fire, like a plague, spread in all directions.

Countless six-winged flying ants were caught in the flames and perished with cries of agony.

Although the six-winged flying ants can devour the martial artist's Yuan Power and spiritual power, they are naturally afraid of fire.

Not to mention, Fang Xuan used the Undying Phoenix Flame, which he arranged into an array.

This Sorrow of Fire was something he had arranged beforehand, before he infiltrated the area.

Without proper preparation, Fang Xuan wouldn't have dared to venture alone into this dangerous place.

The area engulfed by the flames was vast, spanning a hundred meters.

In the blink of an eye, at least 30% of the six-winged flying ants were devoured by the flames, leaving not even a trace of their remains.

Even the most fearless six-winged flying ants dared not charge forward.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fang Xuan escaped through the pre-selected passage.

Half an hour later.

"Snap!"

The mountain split open, and a disheveled figure rushed out.

Without the slightest hesitation, he put everything into his storage ring, then transformed into a streak of light and flew away on his sword towards the outside of the mountains.

This figure was none other than Fang Xuan.

But not long after, a dark cloud rose from the mountains and chased after Fang Xuan.

There are hundreds of thousands of six-winged flying ants in these dark clouds.

Most outrageously, one of the six-winged flying ants, whose body was as black as iron, was so huge that it was like a small mountain, and it exuded a powerful demonic energy.

A six-winged flying ant at the half-step Demon Emperor realm!

Although the six-winged flying ants can only evolve to the fourth rank at most, some six-winged flying ants, due to bloodline mutations, are able to break through this bottleneck and enter the fifth rank.

To become a being at the Demon Emperor realm.

This six-winged flying ant, at the half-step Demon Emperor realm, is one of the two strongest beings in the ant race.

As for the remaining one, it cannot leave easily because it needs to protect the queen ant.

"These guys are so vengeful."

Seeing the six-winged flying ants relentlessly pursuing him, Fang Xuan, who was flying ahead on his sword, thought to himself, "I only stole some of your insect eggs, is it really necessary to chase after me like this?"

Despite the complaints, Fang Xuan's speed was not slow.

However, the only thing to worry about now is that his injuries have not yet healed and he doesn't have much Yuan energy left in his body.

At this rate, he won't be able to hold on for long.

What made Fang Xuan's heart sink even more was...

Half an incense stick later.

He sensed two auras rapidly approaching.

And judging from the looks of it, they're here for him.

quickly,

Fang Xuan recognized the two people and his pupils contracted slightly.

Ming Yong!

Gu Can!

Ming Yong was surprised to encounter Fang Xuan on the way. He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Fang Xuan!"

Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.

Ming Yong shouted sternly, "It's truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly, you little bastard, die!'"

From afar, Ming Yong raised his palm, condensing a giant palm of spiritual energy, and slammed it down fiercely towards Fang Xuan.

The power of a Divine Realm expert erupted at this moment!
