The First Venerable of All Paths

Fang Xiao's breakthrough immediately caught the attention of everyone in the Fang family.

Everyone was amazed.

"As expected of a Earth-rank martial vein, such extraordinary phenomena can occur even after only breaking through to the Body Refinement Realm."

"In this way, it's practically certain that Young Master Fang Xiao will take the position of young master."

"That's not necessarily true. A few days ago, Fang Xuan stormed nine levels of the Martial Tower, making a name for himself throughout the province. His strength is not much weaker than Fang Xiao's."

It lasted for a full quarter of an hour before slowly dissipating.

"Fang Xuan, let's give up on this battle."

Fang Yurong said in a deep voice, "It's not shameful to be afraid of fighting; it's better than losing your life."

"Does Sister Yurong think I'll lose?"

The entire audience witnessed the disappearance of the extraordinary phenomenon of Fang Xiao's breakthrough, but Fang Xuan's expression remained unchanged.

The ancient well was calm and still.

"Otherwise what?"

Fang Yurong tried her best to persuade him, saying, "I know you have great talent, and ordinary Body Refinement Realm cultivators are no match for you, but Fang Xiao has a Earth-rank Martial Vein. Even in the Dao Seeking Sect, he would be heavily cultivated by the sect. Now that he has broken through to the Body Refinement Realm, the gap between you two is simply too great."

Faced with Fang Yurong's earnest advice, Fang Xuan said calmly, "You're wrong, you're all wrong."

Fang Yurong looked puzzled.

Fang Xuan stood up, casting his gaze across the void, looking towards the distant unknown.

"I have never regarded Fang Xiao as an opponent, and he is not worthy to be my opponent."

Fang Xuan's tone was calm, yet his words carried weight.

"All I want is to take back what is rightfully mine, honorably and honestly."

The boy was dressed in white and appeared somewhat thin.

However, Fang Yurong sensed a powerful aura of dominance emanating from Fang Xuan.

"you......"

She opened her mouth as if to speak, her beautiful eyes widening as if she were seeing Fang Xuan for the first time, her pretty face filled with shock.

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

Fang Yurong softened her tone and said, "You have three more days. Work hard in your cultivation and try to improve your strength as much as possible."

if......

There are no "what ifs"!

No matter what, I will make sure nothing happens to you.

After Fang Yurong left, Fang Xuan didn't stay idle either.

He wanted to take advantage of these three days to try to master the second form of the Killing King Fist.

......

In the small courtyard, a figure moved nimbly and nimbly.

Each time he swung his fists, the force of his punches was violent, and the wind was like a knife, causing the ground stones to roll.

"King's Fist Shakes the World!"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his killing intent surged to its peak as he slammed his fist into the boulder.

"laugh!"

A fist aura brimming with killing intent suddenly erupted, leaving a clear fist imprint on the boulder.

At this moment, there were hundreds of fist marks scattered across the boulder.

Fang Xuan stood quietly in white robes, his eyes slightly closed.

He possessed a fierce and ruthless aura, yet he concealed it all.

Yet it is as deep and unfathomable as an abyss or the sea.

He closed his eyes, and his killing intent, blood energy, and Daoist aura merged into one, causing his entire demeanor to change abruptly.

Cold, hard, absolute, and fierce.

At a certain moment, Fang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and with a flash of light, he threw another punch.

"Slaying with overwhelming force, shattering mountains!"

The body's vital energy and killing intent circulated and poured into this punch.

"Snap!"

On the incredibly hard boulder, countless fine, spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards from Fang Xuan's fist as the center.

In the blink of an eye, the boulder, weighing several hundred kilograms, was blasted into dust by Fang Xuan's punch.

Seeing this, Fang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

The Killing King Fist has three forms.

First move: King's Fist Subdues the World.

The punch strikes, shaking the world.

The second move: Killing Might Shatters the Mountain.

The fist fell, shattering the mountain.

As for the third move, Fang Xuan practiced it countless times, but he was still unable to execute it.

Fang Xuan slowly raised his hand, the wind from his fist invisible, yet it slightly distorted the surrounding air.

"good."

The ultimate realm of martial arts is as stable as a mountain, with qi and blood condensed to their peak, and every inch of meridians filled with immense power.

After successfully cultivating the Killing Might and Breaking the Mountain technique, Fang Xuan's strength became even greater than before.

"Fang Xuan."

The Second Elder, Fang Shanhe, and the Third Elder walked over quickly, their expressions solemn.

"Your aura has become increasingly terrifying these past few days, which is a good thing."

Fang Shanhe said in a deep voice, "Fang Xiao has only been in seclusion for three days, but he has already completely consolidated his cultivation at the Body Refinement Realm and has also mastered the Fang family's second-grade technique, the Mountain-Crushing Fist, which has greatly increased his combat power."

"A second-grade cultivation technique?"

Fang Xuan curled his lips into a smile, revealing an extremely confident arc.

"The stronger he is, the stronger I will be."

He wanted to see which was stronger, the Mountain-Crushing Fist or the Killing Goddess Empress's Killing Dao King Fist.

The Third Elder sighed softly, "Fang Xuan, I know you are proud, but don't underestimate your opponent. Fang Xiao has more than just these tricks up his sleeve."

"Don't worry."

Fang Xuan's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable confidence.

"I will kill him within three moves."

Upon hearing this, Fang Shanhe and the other man exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness on each other's faces.

They felt that Fang Xuan was a bit too arrogant.

"Since you are confident, then we are relieved."

Not wanting to dampen Fang Xuan's confidence, Fang Shanhe said, "The Grand Elder and the others have already gone to the Martial Arts Arena."

Fang Xuan nodded and said, "Let's set off too."

He flicked his sleeves and took the lead, heading towards the door.

The two people behind him followed resolutely, their expressions solemn.

The martial arts square in Qingyang County was packed with people.

On the high platform, Fang Yue sat in the main seat, a cold smile on his face.

Fang Shanhai and the other elders of the Fang family either had calm expressions or looked uneasy.

Su Chongshan, Su Yang, and others from the Su family watched coldly.

The Li family and people from all walks of life focused their attention on the martial arts arena.

At the edge of the stage, Fang Rou nervously clenched her small hands, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Sister Yurong, my brother... he'll definitely win, right?"

Fang Yurong gripped her hand tightly, trying to remain calm.

"Don't worry, Xiaorou, your brother is very strong."

But Fang Xiao is even stronger.

She looked at Fang Xiao, dressed in a black robe, in the center of the square, her eyes filled with worry.

Fang Xiao was dressed in black, his eyes slightly closed, and not a trace of his vital energy was leaking out.

The more this is the case, the more terrifying Fang Xiao becomes.

Only three days after Fang Xiao broke through to the next realm, he was able to completely control his vital energy.

This ability to control one's vital energy surpasses that of most of one's peers.

Fang Xuan doesn't have much of a chance against him.

As time went by, the crowd of onlookers gradually grew impatient.

"Fang Xuan probably knows he's no match, so he doesn't dare show himself, right?"

"How is that possible? Fang Xuan has conquered nine levels of the Martial Tower and even killed Su Chen, who was in the Body Refinement Realm. His strength is terrifying. How could he be afraid of fighting?"

"The Martial Arts Tower tests talent and potential, but this is a life-or-death battle; it's all about current strength."

"Anyway, let's just sit and watch the show."

The surrounding chatter was chaotic and noisy, but it did not affect Fang Xiao's state of mind in the slightest.

The reason he chose this place for the decisive battle was that he wanted to crush Fang Xuan completely in front of the entire Qingyang County.

So what if you manage to get past the nine levels of the Martial Arts Tower?

What good is it to be remembered in one state?

So what if he killed Su Chen, who was in the Body Refinement Realm?

The stronger and more outstanding Fang Xuan is, the more his power, Fang Xiao, will be highlighted.

Just as more and more people were getting impatient, a cry of surprise rang out.

"Fang Xuan is here!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man dressed in white, striding towards them.

He walked calmly, his eyes fixed straight ahead, toward the center of the square.

The crowd naturally parted to make way for him.

"elder brother!"

From the viewing platform, Fang Rou stood up, waved, and shouted, "You have to win!"

Her voice was slightly tearful.

Fang Xuan gave his sister a reassuring smile and nodded vigorously.

He not only wants to win, but he wants to win fair and square, with honor and dignity.

"Go for it, Brother Fang Xuan!"

Li Tianjiao clenched her fists, cheering Fang Xuan on.

Fang Xuan nodded with a smile.

"Fang Xuan, do your best."

Su Yang said sternly, "Today may be your last battle. Don't disappoint me."

"rest assured."

Fang Xuan didn't even glance at Su Yang, and walked straight ahead, his cold and sharp voice reaching the ears of everyone in the Su family.

"After killing Fang Xiao, you'll be next, then your Su family!"

These words shocked everyone present.

Holy crap.

Fang Xuan, is this a declaration of war against the Su family?

Coming today was definitely the right decision!

"Fang Xuan, don't be so arrogant!"

Su Yang's face twisted in pain as he stared at Fang Xuan's retreating figure, his voice filled with venom as he said, "After you die, I will not let any member of your Fang family off the hook!"

Fang Xuan had already stepped onto the fighting square and stood in front of Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Fang Xuan, and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.

"I thought you wouldn't dare to come."

Fang Xuan spoke calmly.

"Enough talk, let's get started."

Upon hearing this, the coldness in Fang Xiao's eyes intensified.

"Fang Xuan, you dare to challenge me for the Fang family inheritance? Today is your death day!"

Fang Xiao laughed angrily, his Mountain-Crushing Fist technique fully charged, and he threw a punch that shattered the air.

Like a mountain collapsing and rocks crumbling.

"I'll show you that you'll always live in my shadow!"

Fang Xuan remained motionless in his white robes, his eyes calm and undisturbed.

He slowly raised his right hand, his fist intent gradually rising.

"Fang Xiao, what you owe me, I will repay today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed a deadly punch.

First move: King's Fist Subdues the World!

Fang Xuan took a step forward, his fist slamming down like an emperor descending upon the world.

Domineering, suppressive, and unmatched!

The powerful force of the punch silenced the entire arena!

"boom!"

The killing fist exploded, instantly shattering the mountain-shattering momentum, and the violent power slammed straight into Fang Xiao's chest!

Fang Xiao's expression changed drastically.

"Impossible! How can your punches be so powerful!"

He unleashed the full power of the Mountain-Crushing Fist, attempting to blast Fang Xuan away.

"Bang!!!"

The shockwave exploded, sending dust flying in an area several meters in radius!

Fang Xiao's body trembled violently as a terrifying killing intent surged forth.

He staggered backward, his face pale.

"How is that possible... I'm at the Body Refinement Realm, possessing a Earth-Rank Martial Vein, while you're only at the Blood Creation Realm..."

Fang Xuan didn't utter a single unnecessary word.

With a stomp of his foot, he unleashed another punch.

The second move of the Killing King Fist: Killing Might Shatters Mountains!

The killing intent was like a knife, the fist force like a mountain peak, with the power to directly shatter mountains!

The force of the punch tore through the air, carrying a terrifying power that could sever meridians and shatter the dantian!

"what!"

Fang Xiao screamed in agony as his meridians snapped inch by inch, and his blood and qi flowed wildly and backward!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, his red clothes stained with blood, and he swayed precariously!

The entire room fell silent!

Everyone's eyes widened.

The Blood Creation Realm, crushing the Body Refinement Realm with Earth-Rank Martial Veins?!

Fang Xiao was shocked, angry, and terrified.

"You... what kind of monster are you?!"

Fang Xuan stood in front of him.

A gentle breeze stirred his white robes, his gaze as cold as a knife.

"It's time to end this."

He slowly raised his fist, his killing intent, Daoist essence, and blood energy completely merging into one.

The third move, the Dao Falls Fist!

The fist was thrown, and the world fell silent.

With a single punch, all things perish.

This punch represents the pinnacle of killing, the end of martial arts.
