The First Venerable of All Paths

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

Sun Yang looked at Fang Xuan with a warm smile and said, "As for the price, we can discuss it."

As for Fang Xuan's refusal?

This was not within his consideration.

Because the other party had no other choice.

"Manager Sun, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Gongfeng's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

"Are you going to make a deal with this little beast? He is..."

Sun Yang glanced at Yan Gongfeng and said in a nonchalant tone, "Are you telling me how to do things?"

"I......"

Although Sun Yang spoke in a calm tone, he made Yan Gongfeng feel an unspeakable pressure, which made him break out in a cold sweat.

"I wouldn't dare."

Yan Gongfeng immediately lowered his head, not daring to look Sun Yang in the eye.

He was merely a servant of the Gu family, while Sun Yang was a manager of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, holding a high position and great power.

Although the Gu family joined the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, it was because they were dependent on the Lu family behind Sun Yang.

Yan Gongfeng naturally felt inferior in front of Sun Yang.

"How is it?"

Sun Yang said, "Whether it's cultivation techniques, martial arts, elixirs, weapons, or any kind of materials, just name your price, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Sure?"

Fang Xuan looked at Sun Yang with a leisurely air, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"Our Sihai Chamber of Commerce has always been a firm and uncompromising organization."

Sun Yang chuckled lightly, his face showing arrogance.

"If you dare to name your conditions, I dare to agree!"

Sun Yang was confident because he believed that both the whetstone and the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire were worth the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce acquiring at all costs.

"Alright then."

Fang Xuan glanced at Yan Guan and the other two, as well as Gu Xiao, who was being suppressed by the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"If you kill them all, then we can talk things over?"

Ignoring the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Fang Xuan asked, "What are the preconditions?"

"Manager Sun, don't believe his nonsense!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Gongfeng's expression changed.

"This kid is definitely lying to you; he has no intention of doing business with you."

Guan Gongfeng was rescued by Sun Yang, and with the pain piercing his soul, he couldn't even speak.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sun Yang's face visibly darkened.

"Are you kidding me?"

A powerful aura, weaker than Gu Xiao's but significantly stronger than Yan Guan's, suddenly swept over Sun Yang.

This Sun Yang is actually a powerful expert at the third level of the Divine Intent Realm!

"Didn't you trick me first?"

Fang Xuan looked at Sun Yang with suspicion and asked, "Or were you just talking nonsense?"

"court death!"

Sun Yang's eyes turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "I wanted to give you some benefits, but you didn't know how to cherish them. Then die!"

After saying that, Sun Yang grabbed with his palm.

In an instant, mud, sand, and gravel floated up and condensed into a hundred-meter-long earthen dragon.

The earth dragon bared its fangs and claws as it charged toward Fang Xuan, its aura equivalent to that of a powerful expert at the fourth level of the Divine Intent Realm attacking at full strength.

Fang Xuan flicked his spear and thrust it out.

His spear strikes are as swift as a divine being!

The domineering spear light swept out and directly shattered the hundred-meter-long earthen dragon.

Countless dust particles slowly fell.

Fang Xuan stood with his gun in hand, looking indifferently at Sun Yang, and sneered, "Wouldn't it be over if you kept doing this? Stop with all that nonsense. Do you really think everyone's as stupid as you?"

This guy surnamed Sun makes it sound nice; he's planning to make a deal with him.

In reality, they wanted to take advantage of the situation.

Not to mention the whetstone, the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire alone had already merged with Fang Xuan, and even involved his natal flying sword, Azure Lotus.

For Fang Xuan, once separated, it would be self-destruction and digging one's own grave.

Sun Yang was not unaware of this.

He simply felt that he could take advantage of Fang Xuan's misfortune and force him to comply.

His wickedness surpasses even that of people like Gu Xiao.

Fang Xuan grew angrier the more he thought about it, feeling a surge of murderous intent rising within him, so intense that it was impossible to contain.

"boom!"

The killing intent materialized and was poured into the God of Slaughter Spear, causing ripples to spread through the void.

In everyone's eyes, Fang Xuan seemed to be one with the God of Slaughter Spear, inseparable from it.

At that moment, he truly achieved oneness with his gun.

"laugh!"

With a soft sound, Fang Xuan disappeared from the spot.

Immediately afterwards, the air behind Sun Yang rippled slightly, and a crimson spear tip pierced through the void, thrusting fiercely towards Sun Yang's back.

The killing intent locked onto him, and Sun Yang's expression changed.

He hadn't expected Fang Xuan to be so fast, and for his attack to be so powerful.

It was so strong that he got goosebumps all over his body.

However, Sun Yang was ultimately a powerful expert at the Divine Realm, with exceptional combat experience.

Although shocked, they did not panic.

He shrugged slightly and vanished from his spot just before the spear tip touched him.

"Boom!"

Thousands of spear rays burst forth from the spear tips, enveloping the surrounding void.

Although Sun Yang escaped unscathed, Guan Gongfeng suffered the consequences.

The spear light, filled with boundless killing intent, engulfed and submerged him along with him. Before he could even utter a scream, Guan Gongfeng was pierced through by the spear light.

A cultivator at the second level of the Divine Will realm perished in such a frustrating manner.

Sun Yang, who dodged Fang Xuan's attack, also changed his expression drastically upon seeing this scene.

"What terrifying killing intent."

What shocked him was not that Fang Xuan had killed Guan Gongfeng, but the overwhelming killing intent that Fang Xuan had displayed in his attack.

This level of killing intent is definitely not something a mere Qi Condensation Realm youth could muster.

It takes countless corpses and blood to forge the killing intent, the heart, and the mind.

"They slipped away pretty quickly."

Fang Xuan looked at Sun Yang, his eyes still cold and ruthless.

"But today, you will die!"

Sun Yang's actions just now completely convinced Fang Xuan to kill him.

"Kid, you're way too arrogant!"

Sun Yang was equally enraged, unleashing his full cultivation power, which swept outwards.

The spiritual energy gathered from all directions, like rivers flowing into the sea, forming a wave of spiritual energy.

"Kill me? You dare ask!"

Enraged, Sun Yang suddenly formed a hand seal.

From within the surge of spiritual energy, a tentacle tens of meters long emerged and stabbed fiercely at Fang Xuan.

The tentacles move so fast that they cannot be detected by the naked eye.

Fang Xuan thrust his gun forward, the tip colliding with the tentacle with a deafening roar, sending Fang Xuan flying.

Fang Xuan stomped his feet several times in the air before he could barely steady himself.

He looked at the waves, his expression turning serious.

Because countless tentacles were dancing wildly in the air, stabbing at Fang Xuan one after another.

Fang Xuan retaliated with his gun.

But he discovered that these tentacles were incredibly tough and could even regenerate continuously.

This caused Fang Xuan's God of Slaughter Spear to lose its former sharpness.

"Bang!"

After blocking the attack of the two tentacles once again, Fang Xuan had no choice but to create some distance and look into the waves.

A massive shadow was frantically channeling power, making the tentacles' attacks stronger with each wave.

"It seems that ordinary methods are not enough to deal with this thing."

Fang Xuan pursed his lips and then put away the God of Slaughter Spear.

"Are you giving up already?"

Sun Yang sneered, "I originally planned to give you a dignified death, but you didn't know how to cherish it. So, I can only take what's on you."

He lightly stepped into the void, and a deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout the surrounding waves.

Everyone felt a stinging pain in their eardrums and instinctively covered their ears.

They were then horrified to see a gigantic octopus, hundreds of feet long, emerge from the waves.

A terrifying, demonic aura enveloped the heavens and earth.

This is a demon emperor with extremely terrifying strength.

Sun Yang stood on the octopus demon king, looking at Fang Xuan with cold eyes.

"Boy, it's an honor for you to die by my spirit control technique!"

With a flick of his toes, Sun Yang sent the octopus demon king's countless tentacles, which had been obscuring the air, flying towards Fang Xuan like spears.

At first glance, the spear pierced the sky, leaving behind huge ravines, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.

Fang Xuan's body swayed slightly.

Even though he possesses the Chaos Saint Body, after fighting against multiple Divine Intent Realm experts for so long, his internal power has reached its limit.

This was only because Fang Xuan had many trump cards; otherwise, even if it were a powerful expert at the third level of the Divine Intent Realm, he would probably be dead long ago.

At this moment, facing Sun Yang's extremely powerful and terrifying attack, Fang Xuan knew that he could no longer hold back.

"Come!"

Fang Xuan murmured softly, and his five fingers made a grabbing motion in the air.

A sky full of azure light condensed in the palm of his hand into a three-foot-long, jade-green sword.

The chilling sword energy soared straight into the sky.

With the sword in hand, Fang Xuan's entire aura suddenly changed.

Sharp, menacing, and full of sharp edge.

With the Azure Lotus Sword in hand, Fang Xuan unleashed a powerful strike without hesitation.

A verdant sword aura burst forth from the Azure Lotus Sword, slashing across the sky.

This sword strike is renowned as the Peak Breaker!

It can shatter mountains and destroy all peaks.

"Boom!"

The moment the cyan sword energy clashed with the countless tentacles, an immense and astonishing aura surged and trembled throughout the heavens and earth.

Each tentacle was as thick as an arm and carried astonishing power.

However, it failed to shatter the cyan sword energy in one fell swoop. Instead, it dissipated along with the sword energy, vanishing into nothingness.

It's blocked!

Fang Xuan easily blocked the powerful attack of the demon emperor.

Everyone who witnessed this scene had their pupils shrink.

It seemed that in the entire world, there was only that white-clad figure holding a sword.

"Sword...sword cultivator?"

Sensing the sharp sword energy emanating from Fang Xuan, exclamations of surprise immediately arose one after another.

Everyone was stunned, horrified, and incredulous.

"You're a sword cultivator?!"

Sun Yang's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly realized, "No wonder! No wonder I was wondering how you, with only the Qi Condensation Realm cultivation, could walk on air. It turns out your biggest trump card is your sword cultivation!"

Sword cultivators are the envy of countless martial artists.

They flew on swords, roaming freely across the land.

From a thousand miles away, one can take the enemy's head.

At the same time, sword cultivators are primarily focused on killing and possess unparalleled killing power.

Azure Lotus Karmic Fire, the pinnacle of martial arts, innate sword cultivator...

All these enviable opportunities and good fortunes have appeared in the same person. Could this guy be the favorite son of Heaven?

Otherwise, even the inheritors of those top sects wouldn't have such profound good fortune.

Aside from the direct descendant of Heaven, Sun Yang couldn't think of any other possibility.

Li Mozhan and Li Meng were already stunned, their faces ashen.

Fang Xuan, he's actually a sword cultivator?

"Are you scared?"

Fang Xuan stood with his sword in hand, looking calmly at Sun Yang.

However, the killing intent hidden deep in his eyes had already reached its peak.

This Sun Yang is despicable and vicious; he must be killed!

"Afraid? Kid, aren't you being far too arrogant?"

Sun Yang's face darkened, and he said sternly, "But even if you are a sword cultivator, so what? Your cultivation level is too weak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Yang formed hand seals again.

The octopus's dozens of tentacles instantly contracted and condensed, eventually merging into one and piercing fiercely towards Fang Xuan.

Halfway there, the tip of the giant tentacle suddenly bloomed, transforming into a gaping maw full of sharp teeth, which bit down on Fang Xuan.
