The First Venerable of All Paths

"Haha, great gun!"

Lu Ci looked at the spear in his hand, a look of wild joy appearing on his face.

This spear was entirely black.

Three small, blood-red characters were engraved on the gun handle.

"A blood-drinking spear, not bad!"

Lu Ci flicked his spear, pointing it directly at the martial artist, and said arrogantly, "Considering you helped me obtain this spear, I can spare your life."

"You little brat, you dare steal my stuff? You're asking for it!"

The treasure he had almost obtained just flew away, and the eyes of this Qi Condensation Realm martial artist turned red with rage.

His body was filled with Yuan energy, and his face was contorted with rage.

"So what if you're a member of the Lu family? Even if I kill you, the stuff is still mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot on the ground and slapped Lu Ci with his palm.

At the same time, several talismans flew out from his left hand and flew towards Lu Ci.

The talisman exploded, and lightning flashed.

"A lightning talisman?"

Lu Ci was taken aback, then scoffed, "Too bad, it won't work on me."

With that, he flicked his wrist, and the spear thrust out.

"Boom!"

The lightning was shattered by the spear, but the attack from the Condensation Realm expert was already upon him, slamming into Lu Ci's chest.

"Like an ant trying to shake a tree!"

Lu Ci grinned, quickly retreated, and thrust out with his spear.

"puff!"

The spear sliced ​​through the air and pierced straight into the opponent's chest.

"you......"

Looking at the spear piercing his chest, the martial artist's face showed a look of horror.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that his essence and blood were flowing away and his life force was disappearing.

All of his cultivation was absorbed by the spear.

"The Blood-Drinking Spear, what a Blood-Drinking Spear!"

Looking at his opponent whose life essence had been drained, Lu Ci's expression became even more excited.

He could feel that the power of the Blood-Drinking Spear was increasing rapidly after absorbing the essence blood.

He looked up and found that the entire hall was in complete chaos.

Slaughter, bloodshed, riots.

As other beams of light were shattered and the treasures inside were taken, the battle intensified.

"All of these things should be mine!"

Lu Ci smiled coldly, gripped his spear tightly, and shot one of the foolish guys dead with a single blow.

"They're really courting death!"

With a flick of his spear, Lu Ci drained the lifeblood of the martial artist who dared to attack him, then flung him away. He stepped forward, his spear whistling, instantly killing one martial artist and two dried corpses.

At this moment, Fang Xuan was also surrounded by a group of dried corpses.

He and Xiao Jinyu were originally hiding in the shadows, but who would have thought that a guy would discover them while being chased by a dried-up corpse.

The other party managed to escape unscathed, but he and Xiao Jinyu were discovered.

"Don't let these things hurt you."

While dealing with the dried corpse, Fang Xuan reminded Xiao Jinyu.

He had previously discovered that any martial artist injured by a dried-up corpse would gradually turn into a dried-up corpse themselves.

This has led to an increasing number of dried-up corpses.

Fortunately, the dried corpse is not invincible; it can be dealt with by simply breaking its body.

"Fang Xuan, look!"

Xiao Jinyu waved her long sleeves, sending a dried-up corpse flying into pieces, a warning to Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan looked up and found that there was a stone pillar right next to him.

There was no treasure inside that stone pillar.

Instead, it was a deep, black vortex, as if leading to the unknown.

At the same time, the map of the secret realm in Fang Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly shone brightly.

"Could this be the entrance to the secret realm?"

Just as Fang Xuan was shaken, a powerful aura suddenly swept towards him.

Without a moment to think, Fang Xuan quickly dodged.

"Boom!"

A powerful attack suddenly descended, shattering the two dried corpses blocking Fang Xuan's path.

Fang Xuan looked up and saw Nangong Xingyu staring at him with murderous intent.

"Nangong Xingyu?"

Nangong Xingyu grinned maliciously: "Fang Xuan, let's see where you can run to!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nangong Xingyu used his movement technique to kick several dried corpses toward himself.

As Fang Xuan dodged, Nangong Xingyu struck him with a palm.

"Kill me? You dare ask!"

Fang Xuan twisted his foot and threw a punch as well.

"Bang!"

Their fists and palms clashed, and both men retreated several steps.

Regaining her balance, Nangong Xingyu noticed Lu Ci nearby and immediately said, "Lu Ci, let's join forces and kill Fang Xuan first!"

Lu Ci had just dealt with several martial artists and was about to attack the second beam of light to seize a fist-sized stone from it.

Upon hearing Nangong Xingyu's words, Lu Ci hesitated for a moment.

If I'm not mistaken, that rock looks like an extraterrestrial meteorite.

It is an extremely rare material for crafting weapons.

"If you help me kill him, I'll help you take control of the merchant guild!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ci no longer hesitated and charged at Fang Xuan with his spear.

Taking control of the Chamber of Commerce was something that eldest brother Lu Ren had always planned.

If we get Nangong Xingyu's support, we will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The Blood-Drinking Spear unleashed its power, brimming with ferocious killing intent, as it pierced towards Fang Xuan.

"Fang Xuan..."

Xiao Jinyu, who was being attacked by the dried corpses, changed her expression slightly upon seeing this.

"Don't worry about me!"

Fang Xuan's expression was icy cold as he circulated his internal energy and unleashed a punch.

Killing Dao King Fist, Dao Falls, Fist Ends!

His first move was an extremely domineering and lethal fist technique.

"when!"

The Bloodthirsty Spear, which was usually invincible, bounced back as if it had hit a metal plate this time.

Feeling the terrifying power emanating from the gun, Lu Ci's face darkened.

"This kid's strength is terrifying!"

A fleeting gloom crossed Lu Ci's eyes as he channeled his inner energy into the Blood-Drinking Spear and thrust it out once more.

At the same time, Nangong Xingyu arrived in a flash, his palm wind, containing violent Yuan power, slammed towards Fang Xuan's head.

"Fang Xuan, watch out!"

Xiao Jinyu spoke up again to remind him.

Unbeknownst to her, because of her words, Qi Changfeng and his two companions, who had just obtained a bottle of pills from a stone pillar in a corner of the hall, all turned to look at her.

"Is he Fang Xuan?"

A sharp glint appeared in Qi Changfeng's eyes.

"It's him!"

Wan Rong's face hardened with murderous intent: "Although he's matured a lot compared to the portrait, I can't be mistaken!"

"He really is here!"

Qi Changfeng said coldly, "Junior Brother Wan, Junior Brother Xiao, you two go, but don't let him die!"

"Don't worry, Senior Brother Changfeng!"

Wan Rong grinned maliciously: "I won't let him die so easily!"

He wanted to break Fang Xuan's limbs, cripple his cultivation, and torture him thoroughly.

Wan Rong went up, and another disciple of the Dao Asking Sect also made a move.

The two unleashed their full power, and none of the dried corpses that stood in their way were a match for them; they were all pulverized.

Upon seeing this, the martial artists who were engaged in the melee all quickly moved aside, their eyes filled with shock.

These two have terrifying strength.

"Phantom Soul Thrust!"

At this moment, Fang Xuan was unaware that he had been targeted by the disciples of the Dao Asking Sect. Facing Nangong Xingyu's extremely domineering attack, Fang Xuan quickly formed hand seals.

The divine soul condensed into a long needle, which was then plunged fiercely into Nangong Xingyu's brow, stirring up his divine soul.

"snort!"

With his soul injured, Nangong Xingyu groaned and looked pained.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xuan stepped back and slammed his shoulder into Nangong Xingyu's chest.

"Bang!"

That collision was quite powerful.

Nangong Xingyu retreated rapidly, his blood and qi churning within him, his sternum feeling as if it had been shattered.

With an even stronger murderous intent on his face, Nangong Xingyu unleashed all the Yuan energy within his body.

"Fang Xuan, I will definitely kill you!"

Nangong Xingyu growled, "Lu Ci, buy me ten breaths of time."

Lu Ci remained silent, but the tip of the Blood-Drinking Spear emitted a crimson light.

"Bloodthirsty Frenzy, Kill!"

The crimson spear light suddenly exploded, transforming into more than a dozen spear lights that enveloped Fang Xuan.

These crimson spear points also contain the power to drink blood.

Anyone struck by the spear's edge would inevitably have their life essence drained, weakening their strength.

"A hundred kills turn to frost!"

Faced with Lu Ci's powerful spear strike, Fang Xuan flipped his hand, and the Thunderfire Spear appeared in his hand. He then unleashed a powerful spear strike.

"Ding!"

The spear tips clashed, unleashing a violent force that sent all the surrounding dried corpses flying, turning them into dust upon impact.

Lu Ci had just acquired the Blood-Drinking Spear and was unable to unleash its full power.

However, Fang Xuan had been practicing spear techniques for some time.

He had mastered the three spear techniques and the Eighteen Blood Frenzy Styles, so in a spear duel, Lu Ci was no match for him.

Seeing Lu Ci retreat in a sorry state, Fang Xuan stomped his foot on the ground, and the Thunderfire Spear unleashed unparalleled power, heading straight for Lu Ci's face.

"The spear is drawn, as if by divine intervention!"

This spear technique is the final move of the Eighteen Forms of Frenzied Blood.

The convergence of thunder and fire further embodies unparalleled fighting spirit.

Fang Xuan actually incorporated the Hundred Battles Reincarnation technique into this spear stance.

"die!"

Fang Xuan's face was contorted with rage, and his internal energy was circulating to its maximum.

With a powerful shot, he tore through the air, as swift as lightning.

"I can't take this shot!"

As the thought crossed his mind, a sense of life-or-death crisis arose in Lu Ci's heart.

"I am a disciple of the Lu family, with a cultivation level of the Qi Condensation Realm. How could I possibly be inferior to you!"

Lu Ci shouted angrily, his chest filled with rage, and the Blood-Drinking Spear in his hand trembled violently.

A crimson light flashed across the gun barrel.

"I don't believe it!"

Lu Ci's face twisted in pain as he unleashed a sweeping shot.

"Die!"

He unleashed his full cultivation, his spear thrust becoming domineering to the extreme.

"when!"

As the spear fell, Lu Ci was struck as if by lightning, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

The spear struck the ground, and blood dripped from Lu Ci's mouth.

He lost this duel!

"Netherworld Claw!"

At the same time, a sinister claw attacked from behind, grabbing at Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan suddenly turned around and thrust his spear forward.

"snort!"

However, he underestimated Nangong Xingyu's attack, and his body retreated repeatedly, his internal blood and qi churning.

Before Fang Xuan could regain his footing, two even more domineering and powerful attacks came from the left.

Fang Xuan's expression changed, and he transformed into a dragon-fish, narrowly avoiding the two attacks.

Even so, Fang Xuan's shoulder was still grazed by the palm wind, and a domineering and tyrannical force invaded Fang Xuan's body.

The Undying Phoenix Flame circulated, directly suppressing and refining this power.

After doing all this, Fang Xuan looked up, a cold glint in his eyes.

"People from the Dao Seeking Sect!"

The two who launched the sneak attack earlier were Wan Rong and that junior brother Zhou.

"Fang Xuan, I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence!"

Sensing the chilling killing intent in Wan Rong's tone, Fang Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"I never expected to run into you here."

Fang Xuan's internal energy circulated, and he grinned, "I wonder if that despicable couple, Zhao Qingcang and Su Qingyao, are still alive?"

"How dare you offend the Holy Son of the Dao Seeking Sect! You're courting death!"

Wan Rong said sternly, "Not only you, but your entire Fang family will also pay a heavy price because of you!"

"Perhaps you don't know this yet?"

Wan Rong sneered, "The sect has already dispatched experts to Mingyang County to wipe out your entire Fang family!"

"You dare!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan flew into a rage, his killing intent instantly surging to its peak.

"Let's do it!"

Seeing that Fang Xuan had lost his composure, Wan Rong decisively took action.

Nangong Xingyu hesitated for only a moment before charging towards Fang Xuan again, his sharp claws striking Fang Xuan's back.

Faced with the combined attacks of two disciples from the Dao Seeking Sect and Nangong Xingyu, Fang Xuan was no match for them and was in a perilous situation.

"Fang Xuan, surrender!"

Wanrong laughed heartily: "In that case, you might still be able to see your people one last time."

"You deserve to die!"

Fang Xuan was enraged, and his eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

Just as Fang Xuan was about to reverse his essence and blood to forcibly improve his cultivation, a burst of light suddenly emanated from his body.

The next moment, Fang Xuan was pulled directly into the black vortex by an irresistible force.

It wasn't just him.

Xiao Jinyu, Lu Ci, and several other martial artists were also drawn into the vortex.

Having just dealt with a martial artist, Qi Changfeng, who was holding a piece of animal hide, felt a scorching aura emanating from the hide, enveloping his body and pulling him into the vortex.

Wan Rong stared blankly at Fang Xuan as he disappeared, the sound of Fang Xuan's murderous voice ringing in his ears.

"If anything happens to the Fang family, I will annihilate your Daoist Sect!"
