The First Venerable of All Paths

Sang Mo stepped on lotus leaves and headed straight for Qi Changfeng.

Its speed is as fast as lightning, extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, it landed on the lotus leaf where Qi Changfeng was, and the chilling palm wind slammed hard towards Qi Changfeng's head.

Qi Changfeng was also taken aback, seemingly not expecting the other party to choose him as their opponent.

He curled his lips, his inner energy surged, and his perfected cultivation of the Condensation Realm erupted completely as he struck Sang Mo with a palm.

"Bang!"

The two palms touched, and a violent surge of energy spread out, causing the lotus leaves to tremble.

Sang Mo was startled and looked at Qi Changfeng in surprise.

"Kid, you've got some skills."

Qi Changfeng's strength was somewhat beyond his imagination.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Qi Changfeng flicked his arm and smiled calmly: "Trying to take my map? You'll be disappointed, senior."

"Being stubborn won't help."

Sang Mo said coldly, "The battle for the secret realm depends on true skill!"

As he spoke, Sang Mo struck Qi Changfeng with another palm strike.

The speed and power are faster than before.

As a disciple of the Dao Seeking Sect, his cultivation and learning far surpassed those of ordinary martial artists.

In addition, his own talent was already quite remarkable, so even when facing Sang Mo, who was at the half-step Divine Realm, Qi Changfeng had no fear whatsoever.

On the contrary, his eyes were filled with fervent fighting spirit.

"This secret realm can only belong to me!"

The two clashed again, and the battle became even more intense.

At the same time, the others also looked at the person closest to them with hostility.

"Fang Xuan, the battle hasn't been decided yet, shall we continue?"

Lu Ci suddenly stood up, his Blood-Drinking Spear pointed directly at Fang Xuan, making no attempt to conceal his killing intent.

"I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Fang Xuan also took out the Thunderfire Battle Spear, his Yuan Power flowing through his body, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, already showing a hint of killing intent.

From the very first meeting, Lu Ci tried to use his power to intimidate Fang Xuan and force him to submit.

Inside the bronze hall, he joined forces with Nangong Xingyu, intending to take his life.

Here, he also chose himself as his opponent.

Fang Xuan would not tolerate this any longer.

"kill!"

Lu Ci stomped hard on the lotus leaf, using the force to leap into the air.

The Blood-Drinking Spear, like a bloodthirsty venomous snake, sliced ​​through the air and pierced towards Fang Xuan's throat.

Fang Xuan dared to disobey him and kill his guards; he deserved to die.

He now possesses three fragments of the map. If he can kill Fang Xuan and obtain his three fragments, his chances of becoming the master of the secret realm will be even greater.

Lu Ci's attack was extremely fierce, and he appeared in front of Fang Xuan in the blink of an eye.

The spear tip, gleaming with a cold light, plunged fiercely towards Fang Xuan's throat.

Seeing this, Fang Xuan simply raised his spear and held it horizontally in front of him.

"Ding!"

The crimson spear tip touched the war lance.

Amidst the sparks flying, the Blood-Drinking Spear was knocked back.

However, Lu Ci was quite experienced in combat, and when his first attack failed, he immediately changed his tactics.

He gripped the gun handle tightly, flicked it to unleash several spear flashes, and enveloped Fang Xuan.

It looked like they wanted to poke several bloody holes in Fang Xuan's head.

Fang Xuan seemed to have anticipated Lu Ci's thoughts, and immediately gripped the gun handle with one hand and the gun head with the other, bending it into an exaggerated arc.

With a flick of his fingers, the spear shot out violently.

The domineering force shattered several spear blossoms and then slammed towards Lu Ci.

Lu Ci's expression changed, and he quickly used his spear to support himself on the lotus leaf, flipping his body to narrowly avoid Fang Xuan's attack.

The lotus leaf was sturdy enough that it didn't sway at all.

Just like the real ground.

Before Lu Ci could land on the lotus leaf, Fang Xuan's next attack came immediately.

Fang Xuan took a step forward, gripped the gun with both hands, and slammed it backward.

Because Lu Ci was in mid-air, he was unable to react and was directly hit by the Thunderfire Spear.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Lu Ci staggered and landed heavily on the lotus leaf.

Having landed a successful blow, Fang Xuan naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass. He twisted his body, and his spear tip, like a blue dragon emerging from the sea, swiftly struck Lu Ci's head.

Feeling the chilling killing intent carried in Fang Xuan's spear, Lu Ci's expression changed drastically.

Without even having time to think, Lu Ci rolled awkwardly on the lotus leaf, barely dodging Fang Xuan's spear.

But the sharp glint of the spear left a deep, bone-revealing wound on his cheek, from which blood gushed forth.

"Fang Xuan, how dare you hurt me!"

Lu Ci wiped his cheek, his hand covered in blood, and his once handsome face instantly became twisted and ferocious.

"I swear, you won't leave here today!"

Lu Ci popped a pill into his mouth, and an even more violent power surged from his body.

In the blink of an eye, his cultivation level reached the peak of the Condensation Realm.

Moreover, his physique had increased dramatically, his blood and energy were vigorous, and he exuded a menacing aura.

Clearly, Lu Ci used pills to forcibly enhance his strength.

Although there might be aftereffects, he was willing to do anything to kill Fang Xuan.

"Die!"

Lu Ci shouted sharply, and the Blood-Drinking Spear burst forth with blood-red light, transforming directly into a venomous snake that swept towards Fang Xuan.

This shot was more powerful than any of the previous ones.

"A hundred kills turn to frost!"

Fang Xuan's eyes sharpened, and his Thunderfire Spear trembled.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The power of thunder, fire, ice, and frost suddenly erupted, enveloping and freezing the blood-red venomous snake.

With a gentle touch of the spear tip, the venomous snake transformed into ice flowers and slowly dissipated.

However, Fang Xuan was forced to take a few steps back as a result.

He looked at Lu Ci, his brows furrowing deeply.

At this moment, Lu Ci's strength is more than twice as great as before.

As expected of someone from the Lu family, they do have some skill.

His gaze swept quickly across the other battlegrounds, which had also reached a fever pitch.

Xiao Jinyu, on the other hand, has already been targeted by the pair of senior and junior disciples from Luoxia Valley.

Because of his injuries, Xiao Jinyu's situation was not good either.

It seems we need to act quickly.

Not only did he think this way, but Lu Ci also didn't want to waste any more time.

Lu Ci frantically poured his inner energy into the Blood-Drinking Spear.

The gun trembled, and a powerful and chilling force erupted from the Blood-Drinking Spear, condensing into streaks of blood-red spear shadows.

"Drinking blood like a tide!"

Lu Ci raised his spear high and smashed it down on Fang Xuan with all his might.

"kill!"

Countless spear shadows, like a tide, swept down towards Fang Xuan.

It looked as if it wanted to envelop Fang Xuan and the lotus leaves beneath his feet.

Seeing that Lu Ci was about to end the battle with his strongest attack, Fang Xuan's eyes turned cold. He tapped the ground with his feet and pressed his body tightly against the spear.

"laugh!"

In an instant, a long dragon of lightning and fire swept from the lotus leaf, shattering countless blood-red spear shadows, and headed straight for Lu Ci.

Man and gun become one!

This spear technique emphasizes relentless advance and a do-or-die attitude.

Therefore, its power is naturally extraordinary.

"Snap!"

A shattering sound rang out, and the Blood-Drinking Spear in Lu Ci's hand exploded on the spot.

The violent power poured down on him again, as if it would pierce through Lu Ci's body.

"I will not lose, how could I lose!"

Unable to accept this, Lu Ci roared, and a jade pendant in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling blue light, protecting him within it.

"Sizzle!"

A burst of lightning and fire erupted, easily shattering the blue light and breaking the jade pendant in his hand as well.

"Wow!"

Lu Ci spat out a mouthful of blood, but his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Fang Xuan did not stop there.

He took several steps forward, and a dragon of thunder and fire condensed on his spear, opening its maw and lunging at Lu Ci.

"The Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea!"

Faced with a life-or-death crisis, Lu Ci panicked for the first time.

"Fang Xuan, you can't kill me! I'm a disciple of the Lu family!"

Fang Xuan ignored him, and the speed of the lightning and fire dragon increased dramatically.

Seeing that Fang Xuanzhen was about to kill him, Lu Ci flipped his hand, and a gray bead appeared, which he crushed with force.

"Buzzing!"

As soon as the bead shattered, a pure aura suddenly swept out, enveloping Lu Ci and blocking Fang Xuan's attack.

"Fang Xuan, I will remember what happened today!"

Lu Ci stared at Fang Xuan with bloodshot eyes, and said in a venomous tone, "I will definitely kill you with my own hands, I definitely will!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex appeared behind Lu Ci, pulling him into it and making him disappear.

That gray bead is the proof of leaving this place.

The fragment that belonged to him flew towards Fang Xuan and merged into the three fragments behind him.

Just as Fang Xuan obtained the fourth fragment of the map, a burst of light shone in the gray sky, reflecting on the lake below.

"Glug glug!"

The lake water churned, and one lotus flower after another emerged from it.

The lotus blossoms are in full bloom, their fragrance filling the air.

These lotus flowers, centered on Fang Xuan, emitted wisps of azure light that entered Fang Xuan's body.

This power is truly terrifying and overwhelming.

Fang Xuan trembled, his cultivation level jumping directly from the seventh level of the Qi Gathering Realm to the eighth level.

This is not over yet.

As the lotus withered, azure energy surged into Fang Xuan's body like a tidal wave, frantically and domineeringly.

Finally, they converged within the sword's bone.

A tiny, green seed, the size of a grain of rice, was faintly formed.

"This is......"

Just as Fang Xuan was about to examine the cyan seed closely, a muffled groan came from behind him. Fang Xuan quickly turned his head to look, and his expression changed drastically.

Xiao Jinyu was completely suppressed by the combined efforts of Song Fan and his sister, and was in a perilous situation.

"Hand over the map, and I'll spare your life!"

Song Fan took a step closer, his whole body radiating a chilling killing intent.

"Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Jinyu's eyes were icy cold as she formed a hand seal.

Behind him, black and white koi fish appeared, transforming into a yin-yang symbol.

Just as Xiao Jinyu was about to unleash her secret technique to counterattack, her delicate body trembled, and blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

The Yin-Yang Bagua diagram collapsed and disappeared.

Xiao Jinyu's aura also plummeted, and he completely lost his fighting ability.

"Backlash?"

Seeing this, Song Fan sneered, "Looks like you're out of luck."

As he spoke, Song Fan slowly stepped forward and reached out to grab the incomplete map behind Xiao Jinyu.

"Get out of here!"

Xiao Jinyu spoke coldly, raised her hand with difficulty, and struck out with a palm, but the palm wind was weak and powerless, not even able to kill a fly.

"Stubborn to the end? Then die!"

Song Fan had no intention of showing any mercy to Xiao Jinyu. His palm was filled with Yuan energy as he struck Xiao Jinyu's Qi Sea.

"Senior brother, you mustn't!"

The girl's expression changed, and she quickly spoke up to stop her.

But Song Fan ignored him and his palm strike was three times faster.

Just at this critical moment, a cold spear light whistled in from the side and slammed into Song Fan's head.

Song Fan's expression changed, and he quickly withdrew and retreated.

A dragon's roar resounded, and a golden dragonfish soared through the air.

Fang Xuan's spear, radiating a violent fighting spirit, stabbed fiercely towards Song Fan.

In a moment of haste, Song Fan channeled his inner energy and unleashed a powerful punch with both fists, managing to block Fang Xuan's domineering spear strike.

Fang Xuan took two steps back, his shoulders trembled as he dissipated the remaining force, and he looked at Song Fan with icy eyes.

"Destroying someone's Qi Sea and severing their martial arts path—your methods are far too vicious!"
