The First Venerable of All Paths

"She wouldn't dare, but I would!"

As the voice faded, a figure as swift as a streak of light suddenly shot out from the void.

As soon as he appeared, he slapped Zhao Fu without hesitation.

"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to be so insolent in front of me!"

Although the person arrived quickly, Zhao Fu's reaction was just as fast.

A surge of extremely powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his body, and he unleashed a palm strike as well.

"Bang!"

The two palms collided in mid-air, and the violent force swept outwards in all directions.

To everyone's astonishment, Zhao Fu, who was at the first level of the Divine Intent Realm, was slapped from mid-air and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Thump!"

Zhao Fu's obese body shook the ground and kicked up clouds of dust.

In an instant, the entire venue fell silent.

The faces of countless members of the Lu family were ashen, filled with terror.

Zhao Fu was a steward in the Zhao family.

The Zhao family, on the other hand, is backed by the Daoist Sect.

Zhao Qingcang, the young master of the Zhao family, is now the Holy Son of the Dao Seeking Sect, a martial arts prodigy who has awakened an innate Dao body.

Today, the Zhao family is considered a first-rate family in the Central Plains, a region teeming with powerful individuals and clans.

To put it bluntly, even a dog in the Zhao family has a status far exceeding that of a legitimate son in an ordinary family.

Not to mention Zhao Fu.

Hitting Zhao Fu is tantamount to slapping the face of the Zhao family and the Daoist Sect.

Zhao Fu was seriously injured in public, and the Lu family will inevitably suffer as a result.

"puff!"

As soon as the smoke cleared, Zhao Fu spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the young figure in mid-air.

"You little bastard, you dare hurt me? You're dead, you're dead!"

Faced with Zhao Fu's clamor, Fang Xuan, standing on the lotus, remained expressionless.

A hint of brutal killing intent even flashed in his eyes.

"die?"

Fang Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile, and he said in a chilling tone, "You should first consider whether you can leave Mingyue County alive."

"What? You dare kill me?"

Zhao Fu slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face contorted with murderous intent.

"Kid, I'm telling you this right now: mess with me, and you'll pay a heavy price!"

Zhao Fu looked at Lu Zhao and sneered, "Lu Zhao, I'll give you three breaths to capture this little bastard and marry him to me as a concubine, then the Lu family will be spared. Otherwise..."

"Steward Zhao, please calm down."

At this moment, Lu Fa hurriedly said, "This person is not a member of the Lu family, please do not implicate the Lu family."

"Not a member of your Lu family?"

Zhao Fu was taken aback, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Then who exactly is he?"

"Just a little beast who doesn't know his place."

Fang Xuan did not conceal his appearance, so Lu Fa recognized him at a glance.

But he felt that Fang Xuan's identity was not important.

What he wanted to do was to use Zhao Fu to get rid of Fang Xuan and suppress Lu Zhao!

In this way, the Lu family can still fall into his hands.

If his cultivation hadn't been sealed, he would have loved to personally kill Fang Xuan!

"Turns out he's just a meddlesome little bastard, how disgusting."

Zhao Fu's eyes flashed even colder as he said, "Lu Zhao, three breaths have passed. What will you choose?"

Before he could speak, Lu Fa said, "Lu Zhao, did you hear me? Quickly seize this little beast and apologize to Steward Zhao!"

"I never imagined that the eldest elder of my Lu family would be a dog with a broken spine. This is truly an eye-opener for me."

Lu Zhao completely disregarded Zhao Fu's threat and coldly said, "Grandma, activate the family's protective array and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving!"

"yes!"

Granny Yin formed a hand seal, and beams of light with array patterns shot into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, they formed a magic array that enveloped the entire Lu family.

The Lu family's protective formation was created by a master of formations, and its defenses are astonishing.

Even for a master of the Divine Intent Realm, breaking this barrier is no easy task.

"Lu Zhao, what are you doing?"

Upon seeing the formation activated, Lu Fa's expression changed drastically, and he said sternly, "You'll kill the entire Lu family if you do this."

"Shut up!"

Lu Zhao coldly retorted, "The Lu family is not for an old dog like you to dictate!"

"Lu Zhao, you've gone too far!"

Lu Fa was so angry that his face turned red. He said angrily, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about the lives of the hundreds of people in the Lu family."

"Do you think you can afford to offend the Zhao family?"

Upon hearing this, many members of the Lu family immediately showed hesitation.

Those members of the Lu family who had their cultivation stripped by Lu Zhao and demoted to mine slaves were especially outraged.

"Lu Zhao, how could you do this? It's so selfish!"

"Master, please, have mercy and agree to Steward Zhao's request."

"Master, I kneel before you!"

These people then knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

They are trying to use moral blackmail to force Lu Zhao to back down and submit.

Otherwise, regardless of whether the Lu family suffers or not, they will surely die.

"You...you are utterly shameless!"

Chunxing was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn't know how to refute it.

"Master, you saw it too."

Lu Fa laughed and said, "The life and death of the Lu family are all in your hands. Do you really want to watch so many people die because of you?"

"Do you really want the Lu family's long-standing legacy to be destroyed by your own hand?"

Is the woman in charge of the household?

That's absolutely heretical!

If you refuse to back down, then we'll use righteousness to force you to bow your head!

"What a sharp dog's mouth."

Granny Yin sneered, "You've already been expelled from the Lu family genealogy. What right do you have to interfere in the Lu family's affairs?"

"Grandma Yin, we don't mind, but what about the other members of the clan?"

Lu Fa sighed, his expression one of profound compassion: "They are ultimately innocent."

"you......"

Granny Yin's voice faltered, and she glanced at Lu Fa with murderous intent in her eyes.

However, Lu Fa showed no fear.

"Master, make a decision quickly."

Lu Fa said, "Don't let our Lu family shed blood and sacrifice in vain for some unknown outsider."

Faced with Lu Fa's coercion, Lu Zhao's face showed no sign of panic, but rather was full of sarcasm.

Lu Zhao's phoenix eyes swept across the room, exuding both majesty and sharpness.

"outsider?"

Lu Zhao scoffed, "He's my younger brother, Lu Zhao. What's wrong with him standing up for his older sister?"

"Patriarch, now that things have come to this, stop being so stubborn."

Lu Fa dismissed Lu Zhao's nonsense and said, "Manager Zhao's patience is limited."

"Since you're unwilling, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

Zhao Fu waved his hand impatiently and said, "Zhao Yuan, cripple that little beast!"

"yes!"

Suddenly, a Zhao family martial artist darted out from the crowd, appearing before Fang Xuan like a ghost.

"You little bastard, die!"

Zhao Yuan's five fingers, like hooks or dragon claws, aimed directly at Fang Xuan's heart.

This blow was enough to rip Fang Xuan's heart out.

"The first level of Divine Intent?"

Fang Xuan smirked and then casually threw a punch.

"Buzz!"

The moment the punch was thrown, ripples spread through the void.

Zhao Yuan felt as if the power of the entire world had been mobilized by Fang Xuan and was pouring towards him, and then...

And that was the end of it.

Zhao Yuan's body exploded in mid-air before he could even scream.

"Not even as good as the Qi Condensation Realm."

Fang Xuan shook his arm and looked at Zhao Fu with a calm expression.

A chilling power flowed around him.

It is a perfect work of art, without any flaws.

After three days and three nights of meditation on the Martial Arts Spirit Platform, Fang Xuan had completely mastered the Primordial Long Fist, reaching the realm of eternal enlightenment.

One certificate is valid forever.

Learning is permanent, breaking through is eternal.

Each punch requires minimal effort to unleash the most powerful and perfect force.

"How is that possible?"

Everyone was dumbfounded as they stared at Zhao Yuan, who seemed to have been wiped away by heaven and earth.

Zhao Fu was speechless, completely dumbfounded.

The most shocked person was Lu Fa.

He had personally fought Fang Xuan and knew Fang Xuan's strength best.

Fang Xuan was strong before, but not to the point of being unfathomable.

But at this moment, Lu Fa could no longer see through Fang Xuan.

However, after not seeing him for a while, this guy had already acquired terrifying power.

That punch just now was flawless, like a gazelle leaping off a cliff.

It even borrowed some kind of power from heaven and earth.

Fang Xuan's age was what terrified Lu Fa the most.

He's not even twenty yet!

"That good-for-nothing Zhao Yuan was actually killed in a single move!"

Zhao Fu snorted angrily and looked at Lu Zhao, saying, "It seems the Lu family is going to completely oppose the Zhao family."

"You bastard, what kind of skill is it to target a woman?"

Fang Xuan looked down at Zhao Fu, his eyes filled with an unyielding, icy killing intent.

"If you have any problems, come at me. No matter what methods your Zhao family has, I will take them on."

The reason he harbored such intense killing intent and hatred towards Zhao Fu was because Zhao Fu was present when Zhao Qingcang crippled his cultivation and seized his Dao body.

This bastard sealed his martial meridians, forcibly stripping him of his innate Dao body while he remained conscious.

Zhao Fu was also startled by the murderous intent in Fang Xuan's eyes.

He scrutinized Fang Xuan intently, then asked with feigned surprise, "Kid, who are you? Haven't we met somewhere before?"

He felt that Fang Xuan looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place him.

Two years have passed since he and Zhao Qingcang went to Qingyang County and did that thing.

Given Fang Xuan's drastic changes, Zhao Fu couldn't connect the person in front of him with the fool from back then.

"Steward Zhao really does have a bad memory."

Fang Xuan's eyes grew increasingly cold.

Two years ago, in Qingyang County.

Upon hearing this, others were puzzled, but Zhao Fu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, his pupils shrank sharply, and he screamed.

"You are... that fool from back then?"

Fang Xuan's appearance and temperament have indeed changed a lot, but Zhao Fu will never forget those eyes.

At this moment, the two faces were completely merged together, causing Zhao Fu to tremble involuntarily.

"How could you still be alive?"

Zhao Fu's tone was full of shock, fear, and disbelief.

I even found it somewhat ridiculous.

A guy whose martial meridians were destroyed, whose dantian was shattered, whose Dao body was stripped away, and who was even thrown off a cliff, is now standing alive in front of me.

It also possesses the terrifying power to instantly kill experts at the Divine Realm.

Anyone would find it incredibly surreal.

"Thanks to you, I didn't die."

Fang Xuan smiled coldly, his face filled with a rare, crazed killing intent.

"I didn't die, but you are the ones who will!"
