The First Venerable of All Paths

"Stop him!"

The elder of the Wen family roared and howled, his voice filled with anger and murderous intent.

He wanted to stop Fang Xuan, but the flames were too terrifying, and his Yuan Qi shield was no match for them.

As for the other elder, he was in an even worse situation than him.

His consciousness was damaged, and he was seriously injured.

Whether he can save his life is still uncertain.

"Quick, grab him! Don't let him get away!"

The Wen family's guards reacted quickly; when the incident occurred in the dungeon, nearly ten elite warriors swiftly surrounded them.

"Kill him!"

The leader was only at the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm, but his face was ruthless. After giving the order, he directly raised his knife and slashed.

The rest of his subordinates followed suit.

"roll!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were icy cold. He put one arm around He Yaoyao and suddenly pointed out with two fingers of his other hand.

"Sizzle!"

A dazzling sword aura burst forth from his fingertips, slicing through the sky and striking the Wen family warrior at the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm.

"Snap!"

Using his finger as a sword, he shattered the long blade.

But the sword energy did not stop there; instead, it pierced through the opponent's chest with lightning speed.

"Sword...sword cultivator?"

The man lowered his head, looking at his chest where blood was gushing out, and a look of terror and despair began to appear on his face.

All of this sounds slow, but it actually happened in the time it takes to breathe.

After killing his opponent, Fang Xuan took a big step forward and stood firmly on the Phoenix Cry Sword.

"Whoosh!"

The sword transformed into a streak of light, whistling through the air.

"Fang...Fang Xuan?"

At this moment, He Yaoyao, who was being held in Fang Xuan's arms, finally came to her senses.

When she saw that somewhat familiar face, she was immediately stunned.

"Don't speak yet, I'll take you away now."

Fang Xuan turned his head and glanced down. Countless Wen family warriors stood in the courtyard, bows drawn and arrows aimed at him.

But Fang Xuan moved swiftly and easily dodged the arrows.

This left the Wen family members quite helpless.

They weren't Divine Realm experts, so they couldn't fly and could only watch helplessly as Fang Xuan flew away on his sword.

"Thieves, please leave!"

Just then, a cold shout rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying blade of light suddenly ripped through the sky from the Wen family mansion, slashing towards Fang Xuan.

"It's Elder Wen Qing!"

Upon seeing the blade's aura, the Wen family members seemed to recognize the person who had made the move, and they were overjoyed.

Wen Qing is the only remaining peak Qi Condensation Realm martial artist in the Wen family.

After the death of the family head Wen Donglin, Wen Song used ruthless methods to suppress the clansmen and take control of the Wen family.

Even the matter of the Wen family joining forces with the Ming family was orchestrated by Wen Qing.

"The sword intent here is indeed quite impressive."

Fang Xuan rode his sword through the air, gazing at the sharp blade light descending from below, and lightly patted the sword case on his back.

"Buzz!"

The sword case trembled slightly, and a wisp of sword energy shot out from it, swift as a startled swan, and slashed straight down at the blade's edge.

"Snap!"

The moment the sword energy and the blade light collided, they produced a crisp sound, like metal striking metal.

After a few breaths, both sides disappeared.

"You arrogant brat, you broke into my Wen family and killed my clansmen, and now you want to take them away? Do you think you can have such a good deal?"

At this moment, a burly old man with a menacing look on his face, carrying a long black knife, suddenly appeared on the roof.

This person was none other than Wen Qing.

A powerful expert whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Condensation Realm.

"Haha, if I want to leave, no one in your Wen family can stop me!"

Having said that, Fang Xuan's mind stirred, and he prepared to leave the Wen family on his sword.

"Boom!"

Just then, a burst of silver light shot out, transforming into a transparent cage that trapped Fang Xuan inside.

"Space-based weaponry?"

Fang Xuan's expression changed, and he turned to look in a certain direction.

"I can't believe I forgot about you!"

High in the sky, a figure is flapping its wings and hovering silently.

It was none other than Gu Can, who had fought against Fang Xuan.

"It was just to guard against the He family coming to rescue people, I didn't expect to run into you."

Looking at Fang Xuan, Gu Can's smile appeared somewhat sinister and ferocious.

"You tricked me last time, let's see where you can run this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Can suddenly gripped the chess piece in his hand.

The spatial cage that had trapped Fang Xuan began to shrink.

A powerful and terrifying force descended upon Fang Xuan, as if it wanted to crush him to pieces.

Fang Xuan frowned.

Compared to last time, Gu Can seemed to be more adept at controlling this spatial weapon.

It was able to control spatial weapons to launch an attack on him.

"However, if I can break you once, I can naturally break you a second time!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were icy. He put one arm around He Yaoyao and gently grabbed her with the other hand.

The Thunderfire War Spear appeared in his hand.

"Thunder and fire converge, one spear shatters the formation!"

With a thought, Fang Xuan channeled all his Yuan energy into his battle spear.

"Boom!"

In an instant, thunder roared from the sky and flames surged from the ground.

"Awooo!"

Thunder coalesced into a dragon, and flames transformed into a bird, yet they merged perfectly together, crashing fiercely into the silver cage.

"Bang bang bang!"

The silver cage swayed a few times, but did not break open as Fang Xuan had expected.

"what?"

Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking at the sturdy silver cage, a serious expression appearing on his face.

"Fang Xuan, don't worry about me."

He Yaoyao said weakly, "You go first. Tell my brother not to avenge me."

"Now that I'm here, I'll naturally take you back safe and sound."

Fang Xuan chuckled and said, "Next, I'm about to make my move. If you're scared, just close your eyes."

"I'm not afraid at all!"

He Yaoyao gave a soft snort, but her condition was too poor to be convincing at all.

"That's fine then."

Fang Xuan nodded and stomped his foot on the air.

"return!"

The next moment, a high-pitched cry resounded through the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a golden-red flame swept out from Fang Xuan's feet, like an inviolable divine beast flapping its wings and crashing into the silver cage.

Since the original fire of the Undying Phoenix Fire merged with the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, its power has increased considerably.

Terrifying heat swept across the land.

"Hey!"

With a gentle bump, the silver prison, which it thought was impregnable, shattered like fragile porcelain.

"Fang Xuan, die!"

Once the spatial cage was broken, Gu Can lightly flapped his wings and flew straight towards Fang Xuan like a black streak of light.

Two cold beams of light slashed towards Fang Xuan simultaneously.

"snort!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were cold as he thrust out his spear.

"A hundred kills turn to frost!"

The spear's light burst forth, transforming into three different forces—ice, lightning, and fire—that enveloped Gu Can.

"Ding ding ding!"

Sparks flew everywhere in mid-air.

Gu Can retreated even faster than he had gone, his face filled with even more murderous intent.

"I didn't expect that your cultivation would break through again in such a short time!"

Gu Can gripped the Dragon Fang dagger tightly, snarling, "But this time, I won't give you a chance to escape!"

"Alright."

Fang Xuan said indifferently, "If you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
