The First Venerable of All Paths

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

When Fang Xuan publicly berated her, Old Madam Li was furious.

Without hesitation, she lashed out with her claws, fiercely striking at Fang Xuan's incoming slap.

He unleashed his full divine intent cultivation, seemingly intent on killing Fang Xuan in one strike.

"Bang!"

The two attacks collided violently, and the violent force spread outwards, forming a circle of energy ripples in mid-air.

"snort!"

Surprisingly, it wasn't Fang Xuan who retreated first, but rather Old Lady Li, who possessed the cultivation of the Divine Intent Realm.

What shocked them even more was that there was blood oozing from the corner of Old Madam Li's mouth.

With just one blow, Old Madam Li was injured?

This scene shocked everyone.

"If I weren't injured, how could you have hurt me!"

Old Madam Li glared at Fang Xuan with resentment, feeling incredibly aggrieved.

She was seriously injured in her battle with Li Guanlan a few days ago.

The two burnings of her spiritual energy caused great damage to her foundation.

She wasn't like Li Xintong, who had a highly skilled alchemist like Fang Xuan by her side, willing to use spiritual herbs like the Green Lotus Seed to repair her foundation.

In just a few days, she could only barely suppress her injuries with the help of several kinds of spiritual medicine from the Li family.

Now, fighting Fang Xuan has not only put her at a disadvantage, but it has also aggravated her old injuries, making her even weaker.

With Fang Xuan's terrifying combat power, if the fight continues, he can easily kill her in less than three moves.

"Grandma, you should go and find Li Xintong."

Gu Xiao also saw this, and immediately stepped forward, saying, "As for this kid, the three of us can handle him."

Fang Xuan's strength exceeded Gu Xiao's expectations.

But he was confident that with the help of Yan and Guan, he would be able to easily capture Fang Xuan.

"it is good."

Old Madam Li nodded, and with a swift movement, she prepared to rush downwards.

"Trying to leave? Stay here!"

Fang Xuan let out a cold shout and charged toward Old Madam Li with his spear in hand.

The wind and frost filled the sky, and murderous intent surged like a tide.

A hundred kills turned to frost!

The sharp glint of the spear locked onto Old Madam Li.

"Boy, you dare to underestimate me!"

Seeing this, Gu Xiao suddenly grabbed forward with his large hand.

A giant hand of spiritual energy materialized and reached out to grab the frost and snow, easily tearing it apart.

Old Madam Li successfully escaped and rushed towards the ruins at great speed, intending to drag Li Xintong, who was hiding below, out.

Fang Xuan's expression hardened.

Li Xintong is currently undergoing a soul fusion process, and if she is disturbed by Old Madam Li, all her efforts will be in vain.

But Gu Xiao and his two companions would not give him a chance to make a move.

Now we can only hope that the formation he set up can buy Li Xintong some time.

"Fang Xuan, to be honest, I rarely admire anyone."

Gu Xiao blocked Fang Xuan's path and said in a complicated tone, "If it weren't for the difference in our positions, I would really like to take you under my wing."

Fang Xuan is no longer just a "martial arts genius"; calling him a "monster" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Unfortunately, the feud between Fang Xuan and the Gu family is now irreconcilable.

This made Gu Xiao feel extremely regretful.

"A mere fourth-level Divine Intent Realm cultivator dares to speak so arrogantly?"

Fang Xuan's aura continued to rise, becoming several times stronger than before.

If it weren't for his inability to mobilize spiritual power, he would already be no different from a true master of the Divine Intent Realm.

Facing three experts at the Divine Intent Realm, Fang Xuan dared not be careless in the slightest.

Although he did not reverse his blood essence and forcibly increase his cultivation, Fang Xuan did use some of the power of the Chaos Sacred Body.

Fang Xuan's gaze swept over Gu Xiao and the other two, his fighting spirit soaring.

"kill!"

As soon as the word was uttered, Fang Xuan vanished from the spot.

In mid-air, a golden dragonfish appeared in front of Elder Yan in a bizarre posture, its God-Slaying Spear carrying astonishing power, and smashed straight at Elder Yan.

Of the three, Yan Gongfeng's cultivation was the weakest.

In addition, he was injured when he fought Fang Xuan before.

Using strict offerings as a breakthrough point is an extremely wise choice.

However, Gu Xiao had already seen through Fang Xuan's plan.

Before the spear could land on Yan Gongfeng, Gu Xiao appeared behind Fang Xuan as well, his fist, enveloped in spiritual energy, slamming towards Fang Xuan's head.

If Fang Xuan insists on killing Yan Gongfeng, he himself will surely die as well.

Although Fang Xuan did not turn around, he felt the fierce wind coming from behind, and his eyes immediately flashed with a cold light.

With a flick of his left hand, the copper ring on his wrist flew out and smashed towards Gu Xiao.

It is indeed the Sun-Eating Copper Ring!

A terrifying devouring power surged forth from the copper ring, absorbing all of Gu Xiao's attacks.

Not only that, as the copper ring spun around, it released a terrifying force that blasted towards Gu Xiao.

It's like returning Gu Xiao's power to him!

"What?"

Gu Xiao was also startled and quickly backed away.

However, Yan Gongfeng was momentarily stopped by Gu Xiao because of Fang Xuan's attack. He quickly seized the opportunity and used his movement technique to create distance between himself and Fang Xuan.

"laugh!"

Even so, the spear tip still grazed Yan Gongfeng's chest, tearing his clothes and causing him to bleed.

Cold and scorching, two completely different forces, entered Yan Gongfeng's body through the wound, causing him to shudder violently.

"Such domineering power!"

Yan Gongfeng was horrified and quickly circulated his spiritual power to suppress this force.

At the same time, Guan Gongfeng also made his move.

He formed a hand seal, and spiritual energy gathered and condensed into a blood-red lion.

"Blood Lion's Fury!"

Guan Gongfeng shouted sharply and pointed his finger at Fang Xuan.

The crimson lion took a step forward and appeared in front of Fang Xuan. It opened its mouth and let out a roar that shook the very soul, which suddenly resounded in Fang Xuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Sonic attack?"

Fang Xuan looked surprised and quickly circulated his divine soul power to stabilize his turbulent sea of ​​consciousness.

But the blood-red lion raised its sharp claws and slammed them down on Fang Xuan.

"Kid, you're still too green to fight me!"

Not far away, Guan Gongfeng grinned maliciously.

His Blood Lion Fury is an extremely powerful martial art that combines sonic waves and physical attacks.

A lion's roar can affect the soul.

A powerful claw strike can shatter an enemy's body.

It's perfect for surprise attacks.

"Well done, Guan, offering sacrifices!"

Seeing Fang Xuan standing there in a daze, Elder Yan, who was suppressing his injuries, immediately clapped and cheered.

His gaze was icy as he took out a fist-sized black stone from his storage ring.

The black stone looked ordinary, as if it had been picked up randomly by the roadside, and was not particularly remarkable.

"You little bastard, you dare hurt me? Die!"

Yan Gongfeng infused his spiritual power into the black stone, then forcefully flung it away.

"laugh!"

On the black stone, a burst of black light erupted, piercing the sky and crashing towards Fang Xuan like a comet.

Its speed was so fast that it was comparable to lightning.

"That is..."

As he watched the black stone hurtling towards him, Fang Xuan's heart stirred.

This thing gave him a very strange feeling; it could actually cause his two natal flying swords to tremble.

But the lion's claws were about to strike hard, and the situation was urgent, leaving Fang Xuan no time to think carefully.

Fang Xuan quickly took a deep breath, and with a slanted thrust of his spear, the double dragons emerged from the sea, colliding fiercely with the lion's claws.

Moreover, Fang Xuan activated the sword bone on his back, and a wisp of innate sword energy bloomed from his fingertips, striking the black stone.

"Ding!"

With a soft sound, the sword energy vanished, as if absorbed by the black stone.

The black stone remained suspended in mid-air, completely undamaged.

"How is that possible?"

Upon seeing that Fang Xuan had actually blocked the attack from the black stone, Elder Yan's pupils contracted.

He obtained this black stone at great personal risk from a monster's lair.

Simply by injecting spiritual power, it will unleash an extremely terrifying speed, ignoring most physical attacks and blasting enemies to smithereens.

This was considered by Master Yan as his trump card, and it had never failed him.

But Fang Xuan blocked him.

"It is entirely crimson and black, and can also absorb sword energy."

Fang Xuan stared at the black stone, a glint of light suddenly appearing in his eyes.

"Could it be...?"

Overwhelmed with joy, Fang Xuan reached straight for the black stone.

The movements looked incredibly urgent.

"Stop it! That's mine!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Gongfeng's expression changed.

He regarded this black stone as a treasure, and if Fang Xuan were to take it away, he would suffer a great loss.

Yan Gongfeng also used his movement technique to try and take back the black stone.

But Fang Xuan beat him to it, precisely grabbing the black stone in his hand.

The black stone felt icy to the touch. Although it was only the size of a fist, it weighed over a thousand pounds, pressing Fang Xuan's arm down.

"It really is a whetstone!"

Fang Xuan grinned, appearing extremely excited.

A whetstone is a precious item that sword cultivators desperately want to obtain.

Fang Xuan has been searching for this item for years, but unfortunately, even Xiao Jinyu's side has no information about it.

"asshole!"

Seeing that Fang Xuan had taken the black stone, Elder Yan turned pale with anger.

"Give it back to me!"

Yan Gongfeng lunged directly at Fang Xuan, intending to snatch the black stone back.

"You dare steal my things?"

Fang Xuan glared and punched Yan Gongfeng, sending him flying backward.

Your stuff?

Yan Gongfeng was so angry that he vomited blood.

That's outrageous!

Shameless!

This is an act of rebellion against the Heavenly Generals!

"You little bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

Enraged, the Imperial Guardian suddenly slapped his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

With his hands moving swiftly, he formed hand seals, and his essence blood gradually transformed into a blood-red skull that lunged at Fang Xuan.

The crimson skeleton was incredibly fast, its body radiating a strong aura of bloodlust that seemed capable of corroding even the soul.

Fang Xuan was least afraid of such sinister attacks.

With a flick of his finger, the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire shot out from his fingertip and collided with the blood-red skull.

A piercing, sharp scream rang out, and then the blood-red skull, like blood accumulated under the scorching sun, rapidly melted away.

"Wow!"

Yan Gongfeng spat out another mouthful of blood, his aura rapidly weakening, as if he had suffered an extremely severe backlash.

After severely injuring Elder Yan, Fang Xuan didn't even glance at him. Instead, he turned to look at Elder Guan, who was retreating, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Trying to leave?"

Fang Xuan let out a cold laugh, his divine soul condensing into an invisible long needle, which shot out without hesitation.

Phantom Soul Thrust!

Although he didn't know what Fang Xuan was going to do, Guan Gongfeng felt a sense of unease for no reason.

Without further hesitation, he turned and fled.

However, before he could run two steps, Guan Gongfeng felt as if his sea of ​​consciousness had been pierced by a long needle, and the pain was unbearable.

Guan Gongfeng let out a muffled sound, and his movements paused for a moment.

Although he quickly returned to normal, that was enough for Fang Xuan.

The next instant, Fang Xuan appeared in front of Guan Gongfeng like a ghost, and with a punch full of killing intent, he directly slammed into Guan Gongfeng's head.

Just as Fang Xuan's attack was about to land on Guan Gongfeng, a hand silently landed on the latter's shoulder, gently pulling him back a hundred meters away.

The steward, Sun, who had saved Guan Gongfeng, looked at Fang Xuan with a calm gaze.

"Fang Xuan, let's discuss this."

Manager Sun's tone appeared gentle, but it actually contained an undeniable force and domineering attitude.

"Could you part with the whetstone and the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire you just obtained?"
