The First Venerable of All Paths

"You dare kill someone from Qingyangang? You're asking for death!"

Seeing his companion killed by an arrow, the other man swung his sword at Fang Xuan.

The blade was sharp and its killing intent was chilling.

It's just too slow.

Fang Xuan's arm shot out with lightning speed, pinching the back of the knife between two fingers.

"Give it to me!"

With a sudden burst of force, he snatched the long sword from his opponent's hand.

"laugh!"

Then, Fang Xuan swung his sword down with a swift motion, cleaving his opponent in two.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At the same time, three whooshing sounds came rushing in.

Fang Xuan lightly swung his longsword, cutting the three arrows in half, and looked up at the burly man with a bow on the arrow tower.

"Kid, you've been hiding your strength?"

The burly man's face was filled with shock.

"They're just two Qi Gathering Realm cultivators; there's no need for them to hide their strength."

Fang Xuan smiled calmly, patted the horse's back, and his figure instantly transformed into a golden dragon fish, spanning dozens of meters and appearing directly on the arrow tower.

"Don't move!"

Before the burly man could react, a cold blade was pressed against his neck, piercing his skin and drawing blood.

"Don't kill me!"

The burly man was so frightened that he immediately raised his hands, his body trembling.

He swallowed hard, his face filled with shock and terror.

"If you kill me, all your companions will die!"

"Yeah?"

Fang Xuan chuckled lightly, and the blade plunged deeper, drawing even more blood.

"If I'm not mistaken, you never intended to let them go."

The big man's pupils suddenly contracted.

"How...how did you know?"

This statement indirectly confirms Fang Xuan's guess.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Fang Xuan looked up at the dense forest in the mountains and said, "How long are you all going to hide?"

"Clap clap clap!"

applause.

Then a dozen or so figures rushed out of the mountains and forests, scattered in different places, and aimed their arrows at Fang Xuan.

"I never expected that a mere guard from the Lu family would possess such strength."

On the rocks, a short-haired, burly man stood with his arms crossed, looking at Fang Xuan with a look of amazement on his face.

This person's cultivation has already reached the realm of divine intent.

"Third Master, save me!"

Upon seeing this person, the burly man was overjoyed and cried out for help.

The short-haired, burly man didn't even glance at the other man, but stared at Fang Xuan and said, "Kid, you're not from the Lu family, are you?"

"So, you're not just here for the Azure Dragon Escort Agency."

Fang Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "The Lu family is also your target."

The short-haired, burly man's pupils contracted slightly.

"Kid, since you're not a member of the Lu family, this matter has nothing to do with you."

The short-haired, burly man quickly composed himself and said, "If you release the person, I can let you leave."

"If you take someone's money, you're obligated to solve their problems."

Fang Xuan said calmly, "Since the Lu family has hired me, I will naturally clear the obstacles for them along the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the blade flashed past.

"Pfft!"

The big man's eyes widened, and blood gushed from his throat.

Fang Xuan casually tossed it on the ground and looked at the third leader of Qingyan Gang.

"Two choices."

Fang Xuan said indifferently, "Either let them pass, or I'll wipe you out."

"Kid, you're too arrogant!"

Zhou Yan grinned menacingly, his face filled with murderous intent.

"You think you can spout nonsense in front of me just because you have a little bit of strength? Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"Release the arrows!"

At his command, more than a dozen arrows shot towards Fang Xuan simultaneously.

These arrows are all from armor-piercing bows.

It can easily break through a martial artist's Yuan Power Armor.

Before the arrows could get close, Fang Xuan had already disappeared from the spot.

Everyone only saw a golden dragonfish flash by before their necks felt a sharp pain.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Several archers clutched their necks, but blood gushed out uncontrollably.

In just a few moments, more than a dozen martial artists were turned into corpses, lying on the ground.

This group also includes three martial artists at the Qi Condensation Realm.

"How is that possible?"

Zhou Yan's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed, "You're only at the Qi Condensation Realm, yet you possess such terrifying combat power? Could it be that you've been hiding your true strength?"

Zhou Yan's tone was filled with horror.

Fang Xuan's aura fluctuations clearly indicated that he was only at the Condensation Realm.

However, the speed and combat power they displayed were comparable to those of a master at the Divine Realm.

"you guess?"

Fang Xuan wiped the blood from his face and smiled calmly.

"You pretentious brat!"

Zhou Yan flipped his hand, and a pair of giant hammers fell into his hands, unleashing his full power of Divine Intent Realm cultivation.

"Regardless of whether you're hiding your true strength or not, you won't leave today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan stomped his foot hard on the rock.

Amidst flying rocks, Zhou Yan charged straight at Fang Xuan like a ferocious beast.

He swung the giant hammer at Fang Xuan.

"when!"

Fang Xuan raised his sword and slashed out with immense force.

"Snap!"

The moment the longsword touched the giant hammer, it snapped into several pieces.

Fang Xuan was so shaken by the force transmitted from the giant hammer that he was forced to take several steps back.

"Not bad strength."

Fang Xuan shrugged, dissipating the force of the attack, and looked at Zhou Yan with a hint of admiration.

Martial artists who dare to use heavy weapons like hammers must possess extremely strong physical strength.

Although it can't compare to body cultivation, it's not far behind.

"This is just the beginning."

Zhou Yan grinned maliciously, and his spiritual power surged into the giant hammer, causing ripples to spread through the void.

"Boy, today I'll let you experience my Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!"

Zhou Yan let out a low shout and swung his giant hammer at Fang Xuan.

Numerous hammer shadows, linked together, enveloped Fang Xuan.

The Chaotic Wind Hammer Technique is a Xuan-level martial art.

Each strike contains immense power.

One hammer blow is enough to smash a huge rock to pieces.

Faced with Zhou Yan's frenzied attacks, Fang Xuan constantly dodged using his movement techniques.

"hide?"

Unable to reach Fang Xuan after a long time, Zhou Yan's murderous intent intensified: "How long can you hide?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan raised his double hammers high and brought them down on Fang Xuan's head.

This attack sealed Fang Xuan's body, leaving him with no way to escape.

Faced with Zhou Yan's powerful attack, Fang Xuan stopped dodging.

He clenched his fingers, and a blood-red spear appeared in his hand, which he thrust out.

"Ding!"

The spear struck the giant hammer with precision, producing a crisp sound.

The terrifying power that erupted from the spear in an instant actually caused the giant hammer to deflect off its direction.

Zhou Yan almost lost his grip on the giant hammer and staggered.

Before he could regain his footing, Fang Xuan's second shot had already struck.

"Awooo!"

Two fire dragons roared in and swept towards Zhou Yan.

Two dragons emerge from the sea!

"What an imposing spear stance!"

Zhou Yan's heart sank. In a hurry, he raised two giant hammers and held them in front of him.

"Boom!"

A fiery dragon struck the giant hammer.

"Snap!"

The massive, hard hammer shattered instantly.

Zhou Yan was forced back by Yu Weizhen, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

After only a few exchanges, Zhou Yan not only destroyed Wu Bing, but also injured himself.

"There's something fishy about this kid!"

Zhou Yan glared at Fang Xuan, then turned and fled, soaring into the sky towards the mountaintop.

"Kid, if you've got the guts, catch up with me!"

Fang Xuan smiled calmly.

"Afraid of you?"

With a swift movement, he stepped onto a blue lotus and, like a streak of light, quickly closed the distance with Zhou Yan.

"What?"

Seeing Fang Xuan rapidly closing in, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted again.

"Such fast movement!"

In a panic, Zhou Yan could only desperately circulate his spiritual power and push his speed to the limit.

As long as we lure Fang Xuan to the mountain, we can attack him together and surely kill him.

......

"Boss, it's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester."

On the mountainside stands the Loyalty Hall of Qingyangang.

He Jun looked at Chief Xu, who was seated at the head of the table, and said, "How about we both take a step back and become friends?"

Xu Quan, the leader of Qingyangang, was currently eating a roasted chicken with his mouth full of oil.

"Making friends isn't a bad idea."

Xu Quan took a swig of strong liquor and said, "But forty percent of the goods, not a single penny less."

"Boss, is there really no room for negotiation on this matter?"

He Jun's face darkened slightly, and his tone carried a hint of anger.

"Hey, you saw it too."

Xu Quan said, "I have so many brothers to support. If you don't give them enough, how can I explain it to them?"

"Three thousand spirit stones!"

He Jun held up three fingers and said, "This amount is already quite high. We'll only earn this much from this entire escort mission."

"Three thousand spirit stones?"

Before Xu Quan could speak, a fat man with a fierce face slammed his hand on the table and shouted angrily, "Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

In the hall, a group of Qingyan Gang warriors glared angrily at He Jun and his companions.

In that case, with just a single command, they would swarm forward and hack He Jun and his companions to death.

"It seems that Chief Xu is not going to give my Green Dragon Escort Agency any face."

He Jun's smile gradually faded, and he looked at Xu Quan with composure and fearlessness.

"In that case, there's no need to continue discussing this matter."

Xu Quan clicked his tongue and said, "Kid, are you threatening me?"

"I wouldn't dare."

He Jun said expressionlessly, "But my Azure Dragon Escort Agency isn't someone anyone can easily bully."

When escorting or protecting goods, one must be flexible when necessary and firm when required.

"What? Are they going to go head-to-head with Qingyangang?"

Xu Quan smiled coldly: "Go, bring those brats up here. I'm going to kill them as a sacrifice for my flag today!"

At Xu Quan's command, three members of the Green Dragon Escort Agency were brought forward.

Little Scar is among them.

The three were clearly tormented, their breaths extremely weak.

Upon seeing this, He Jun and the others' expressions changed drastically.

"Xu Quan, you're so despicable!"

Old Huang and the others had red eyes, and their anger was almost uncontrollable.

"mean?"

Xu Quan sneered, "Since we're all living on the edge, how can you call it despicable?"

"What exactly do you want?"

He Jun clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down.

"Three hundred thousand spirit stones, plus 50% of the goods."

Xu Quan said, "Nod, and I'll let you leave; shake your head, and you'll all stay."

"This is outrageous!"

Old Huang was the first to attack, lunging directly at Xu Quan.

"I'll kill you, you piece of trash, first!"

Despite his burly appearance, Lao Huang was incredibly agile and nimble, moving like a falling leaf as he drifted to Xu Quan's side.

A chilling killing intent swept across the long blade as it slashed fiercely at Xu Quan.

"Let's do it!"

Seeing that Lao Huang had already made a move, He Jun suddenly shouted coldly.

He reached out and took out a jade talisman.

A surge of violent spiritual energy erupted from the jade talisman and flowed into everyone's bodies.

"Boom!"

Everyone's cultivation level increased dramatically in an instant.

The rest of the people all improved their cultivation by two minor realms.

As for He Jun himself, he directly transcended the realm of divine intent.

"Fight your way out!"
