The First Venerable of All Paths

"This power..."

Fang Xuan, who was about to make a move, was also greatly alarmed by the soul aura emanating from Li Guanlan.

If he wasn't mistaken, Li Guanlan's current Soul Dao realm was already very close to the fourth rank.

A fourth-grade Soul Master is completely incomparable to a third-grade Soul Master.

The person's spiritual power has undergone a complete transformation, and its power is mysterious and unpredictable.

But Fang Xuan also knew that Li Guanlan still had a long way to go to break through from the third rank to the fourth rank.

However, it was enough to deal with Gu Xiao and Yan Gongfeng.

With this thought in mind, Fang Xuan felt completely relieved.

He looked at Sun Yang, a chilling killing intent resurfacing in his eyes.

Fang Xuan hadn't forgotten this person who had tried to forcibly take his whetstone and Azure Lotus Karmic Fire.

This person is the most malicious of all.

Such people are also the most vengeful.

Fang Xuan would not allow such a major threat to continue living and targeting him.

Only the dead are truly trustworthy!

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xuan vanished from his spot.

Behind Sun Yang, the void flickered slightly, and a sharp sword light shot out from it, slashing towards him.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Sun Yang was startled and quickly used his movement technique to narrowly avoid the sword strike.

Before Sun Yang could even catch his breath, more sword energy suddenly appeared, spreading all around and sweeping towards him.

The sword flashed like lightning, cutting through all directions.

"Arrogant junior!"

Sun Yang roared, unleashing his full power of Divine Intent.

Even at his worst, he was still a powerful expert at the Divine Intent Realm.

If he loses to Fang Xuan today, will Sun Yang still have any face left?

Sun Yang formed a hand seal, transforming it into a giant finger, and pressed it down hard on the figure hidden in the sword energy.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, the spiritual energy finger was shattered.

At the same time, these sword energies quickly merged and condensed into a giant, emerald-green sword, which slashed down furiously at Sun Yang.

One sword pierces the peak!

Sensing the power of Fang Xuan's sword strike, a solemn expression appeared on Sun Yang's face.

He dared not hold back any longer, raising his arm and reaching out with his five fingers to grab Fang Xuan.

"Tianyuan Falcon Claw!"

A clear cry resounded through the heavens and earth, and a huge eagle instantly materialized in Sun Yang's palm.

The sharp eagle claws struck the blue greatsword fiercely.

"when!"

The moment the two made contact, the sound of metal clashing rang out, and violent ripples of power spread through the air, causing the onlookers to stagger backward.

The two fighters, Fang Xuan and Fang Xuan, each took a few steps back.

"How could that little beast be so strong!"

Manager Liang stared in horror at Fang Xuan's figure, his heart filled with lingering fear.

Only then did he realize that Fang Xuan had never used his full strength before.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as just losing an arm.

"Boy, don't think that just because you're a sword cultivator, I can't kill you!"

Seeing the sword intent dissipate from Fang Xuan's body, Sun Yang sneered, "In the face of absolute strength, any trickery is utterly useless!"

"I'll kill you in one move!"

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

Streams of spiritual energy poured out from his body like a tide, and behind Sun Yang, they reformed into the form of a slightly smaller octopus demon king.

"Harmony between humanity and spirit!"

Sun Yang stepped back, and his entire body merged completely with the Octopus Demon King.

"Boom!"

An even more terrifying and powerful aura erupted from Sun Yang, more than twice as strong as before.

"Oh? Is this the strongest manifestation of spirit control techniques? It can even enhance cultivation; it's certainly quite remarkable."

Fang Xuan nodded, looking quite appreciative.

"But the secret method to improve cultivation is not something you alone possess."

Fang Xuan made a hand seal with one hand, causing the essence and blood in his body to reverse.

"Bang bang bang!"

The next moment, it was as if countless thunderbolts exploded within Fang Xuan's body, and wave after wave of powerful auras surged out like a volcano.

In the end, he actually broke through the barrier between realms and entered the realm of divine will.

Although he only had the first level of the Divine Intent Realm cultivation, the immense and powerful energy fluctuations caused everyone to turn pale with horror.

"Divine intent?"

Manager Liang exclaimed shrilly, "How could he possibly have entered the Divine Realm? What kind of secret technique is this?"

No one responded to him.

Everyone was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

It was simply breathtaking.

Feeling the surging, immense power within him, Fang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Unlike before, with the improvement of his cultivation level and the evolution of the Chaos Sacred Body, Fang Xuan will basically no longer have any aftereffects after reversing his essence blood to improve his cultivation level.

Moreover, the Chaos Holy Body can perfectly suppress the surging essence blood, allowing him to fully unleash his power.

"Kid, the power you gain through secret techniques won't last long!"

Sun Yang grinned maliciously, "Once you're weakened, your life and death will be in my hands!"

"But you won't live to see that day!"

Fang Xuan grinned, his sword bones trembled, and streams of innate sword energy emerged from his body and flowed into the Azure Lotus Sword.

"Buzzing!"

One after another, streaks of azure sword light emerged from the Azure Lotus Sword like flowing water, spreading out around Fang Xuan.

"kill!"

As soon as the word was uttered, Fang Xuan drew his sword and charged at Sun Yang.

The countless azure sword lights also moved accordingly, enveloping Sun Yang in a vast, overwhelming manner.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Sun Yang snorted coldly and reached out with his large hand.

The colossal hand pressed directly down on Fang Xuan.

This attack carried unparalleled power, enough to shatter a mountain.

Fang Xuan's eyes turned cold, and his sword speed increased even more.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The Azure Lotus Sword slashed out repeatedly, shattering the giant spiritual hand into pieces.

Just as the Azure Lotus Sword was about to pierce his body, scales suddenly appeared on Sun Yang's arm, allowing him to grab the Azure Lotus Sword.

"Let go of me!"

Sun Yang let out a low shout, attempting to forcibly seize the sword.

"Want it? Here you go."

Fang Xuan tilted his head and smiled, loosening his grip on the sword hilt.

Looking at the Azure Lotus Sword in his hand, Sun Yang was somewhat bewildered.

So they succeeded just like that?

Before Sun Yang could react, the Azure Lotus Sword transformed into a ball of azure flame, covering Sun Yang's palm.

That wasn't the Azure Lotus Sword at all; it was clearly a manifestation of the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Terrifyingly high temperatures, burning fiercely.

In an instant, Sun Yang's palm melted rapidly in the flames, and a pungent, acrid smell filled the air, making people nauseous.

"The Karmic Fire of the Azure Lotus?"

Sun Yang's expression changed drastically, and his spiritual power surged forth, extinguishing the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire in his palm.

But his palms were burned beyond recognition, looking quite terrifying.

"You little bastard, what vicious methods you've used!"

Sun Yang's face was contorted with rage as he said hatefully, "If I don't grind you to dust today, I'll give you my life in return!"

Immediately afterwards, Sun Yang's appearance changed drastically.

Several tentacles grew out from under him.

Scales also appeared on the skin.

The person had transformed into a grotesque creature, half-human and half-octopus, looking absolutely terrifying.

But its aura became evil and chilling.

"die!"

Sun Yang's voice was hoarse as several tentacles swept towards Fang Xuan.

Each tentacle, like a spear, is comparable to a full-force strike from a master of the Divine Realm.

"I'll take your life myself; you won't have to pay for it!"

Looking at Sun Yang, whose appearance had changed drastically, Fang Xuan grinned maliciously.

All the sword energy within his body surged out of the Azure Lotus Sword.

"Buzzing!"

The sword energy surrounding him suddenly floated in the void like an army formation, its aura chilling.

"go!"

With a wave of his hand, Fang Xuan unleashed a torrent of azure sword energy, forming a massive sword array that enveloped the countless tentacles, including Sun Yang.

Return to the Void Sword Formation!

Within the sword formation, Fang Xuan stood holding his sword, his gaze icy as he looked at Sun Yang, who was struggling in the sea of ​​swords.

"One sword can cleave the river!"

Without hesitation, he unleashed a sword strike.

The entire sword formation amplified Fang Xuan's sword strike, forming a massive sword light that spanned the heavens and earth, severing all the tentacles on Sun Yang's body.

"One sword, shattering all laws!"

Fang Xuan struck again with his sword.

This sword strike was devoid of light, shadow, and killing intent.

Only that sharp edge, capable of annihilating everything.

When a swordsman draws his sword, it is pure and ultimate.

One sword can shatter all laws!

Sun Yang, trapped in the sword formation, had no way to escape.

Sensing the terrifying power of Fang Xuan's sword, Sun Yang's expression changed drastically, and his pupils shrank sharply.

"Fang Xuan, I'm a member of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce!"

Sun Yang quickly said, "If you kill me, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will absolutely not let you off!"

Seeing that the sword light showed no sign of stopping, Sun Yang said urgently, "It was just a misunderstanding before. I can apologize to you, let's just leave it at that..."

"Misunderstanding? I don't think so."

Fang Xuan's face was full of sarcasm as he sneered, "Also, don't try to threaten me with the name of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce. I dared to kill even that trash Lu Ci, let alone a mere manager like you!"

"What?"

Sun Yang's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "You actually killed Young Master Lu Ci? So that's how it is, so that's how it is!"

Sun Yang gave a bitter laugh.

Not long ago, Young Master Lu Ci encountered a fortuitous opportunity while traveling, and the Lu family even sent several elite guards to accompany him.

I thought that with the reputation of the Lu family and the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, even if Young Master Lu Ci didn't gain anything, he wouldn't be in any danger.

Who would have thought that not long after, Young Master Lu Ci's spirit tablet would shatter.

All the guards who accompanied them, along with that good-for-nothing Yu Cheng, were all killed without a trace.

This incident caused a huge uproar in the Lu family at the time, with countless elders demanding that the murderer be found and his remains crushed to dust.

However, the eldest son gave an order that this matter should not be publicized, and he had his own arrangements.

The eldest son is currently the most powerful person in the Lu family, second only to the family head, Lu Ci.

Who would dare disobey him?

Therefore, not many people know about this nowadays.

Sun Yang never expected that the murderer who killed Young Master Lu Ci was Fang Xuan, who was standing right in front of him.

"Fang Xuan, now that you've killed Young Master Lu Ci, if you kill me too, there will be no place for you in the entire Qingzhou!"

Sun Yang shouted, "I'm not exaggerating. The influence of my Sihai Chamber of Commerce extends throughout Qingzhou. You..."

"You talk too much nonsense!"

Fang Xuan interrupted Sun Yang without any politeness, unleashing a chilling sword aura that shattered the void and slashed down from above Sun Yang's head.

In an instant, Sun Yang froze on the spot.

The terrifying aura emanating from him gradually dissipated.

The sword formation slowly dispersed.

"Who's winning?"

From the outside, no one could see or hear anything happening within the sword formation.

At this moment, they looked anxious and nervous.

"Is there even a question? Manager Sun is definitely going to win!"

Manager Liang scoffed, "Even if Fang Xuan forcibly increased his cultivation using secret techniques, it's ultimately just a heretical method. How can he possibly contend with Manager Sun?"

"That's right."

Someone chimed in, "After all, he's a manager of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce; his strength is unfathomable, beyond our comprehension... Ah!"

Before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly screamed, his face filled with terror.

Because, while Sun Yang was frozen in mid-air, a line of blood separated him from his brow.

With a "plop," blood splattered.

Accompanying this was countless sword energies that emerged from Sun Yang's body, cutting him into countless uniform fragments.

Fang Xuan's sword strike shattered all laws, annihilating Sun Yang's life force, soul, and everything else, leaving him utterly and completely dead.

The world fell into a deathly silence.

Steward Sun is dead?!
