The First Venerable of All Paths

"Sizzle!"

The lightning bolt shot forward, only to collide head-on with that chilling sword aura.

The lightning of the heavenly tribulation, filled with merciless killing intent, couldn't even last half a breath before being annihilated by the sword energy.

The heavenly tribulation dissipated, but the sword energy soared upwards, leaving a chasm a hundred meters long in the air.

Fang Xuan's white hair danced wildly in the air.

Holding a long sword, he resembled a white-haired sword immortal.

"How could this be? How is this possible?!"

Looking at the annihilated heavenly tribulation, Han Yun's face was filled with disbelief.

His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Fang Xuan and hissed, "Boy, how did you do that? Did you use some underhanded methods?"

The Wind and Thunder Pill allowed him to summon and guide the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, unleashing unparalleled power.

This deadly move once allowed him to kill a powerful opponent of the same realm.

However, it was annihilated by Fang Xuan's sword.

"This sword strike shatters all laws."

Fang Xuan pointed his sword at Han Yun and said calmly, "It's just a heavenly tribulation; how difficult is it to break through?"

Although "Breaking Ten Thousand Laws" only has three sword moves, each move is extremely powerful.

In particular, this final move, "Breaking Ten Thousand Laws," can break all martial arts techniques.

"As for being despicable..."

Fang Xuan glanced around and looked at Xue Wanlong, Tang Xuan and the others, his face showing a mocking expression.

"You bunch of filthy rats from Sunset Town, your actions are no different from those of bandits and thugs. What right do you have to call me despicable?"

Fang Xuan said coldly, "Chi Lin, kill them all, leave no one alive!"

"Don't worry, neither of those two old bastards will get away!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor roared ferociously, raised its sharp claws, and attacked Tang Xuan again.

Tang Xuan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly circulated his spiritual power to counterattack.

But he was only at the sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm, how could he be a match for a seventh-level Demon Emperor?

After a few moves, Tang Xuan was forced to retreat, his internal energy churning violently.

"Brother Wanlong, please help me!"

Seeing the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's demonic energy surging and his attacks becoming increasingly fierce and domineering, Tang Xuan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly cried out for help.

Xue Wanlong was in a state of rage after his son was killed by Fang Xuan.

Hearing Tang Xuan's cry for help, Xue Wanlong's expression grew even more gloomy.

"Brother Tang, hold on a moment! That little bastard killed my son, I must kill him first!"

After saying that, Xue Wanlong instantly disappeared from his original spot and appeared above Fang Xuan's head, slapping down with his palm.

Fang Xuan looked up, his gaze icy.

He first slashed out with his sword, then quickly retreated, stepping on the azure light.

The giant palm of spiritual energy failed to strike Fang Xuan, causing Xue Wanlong's aged face to twitch uncontrollably.

"You little bastard, let's see how long you can hide!"

Xue Wanlong formed a hand seal, and streams of water dragons condensed, covering an area of ​​100 meters in radius.

One of the water dragons swirled and emerged from beneath Fang Xuan, opening its massive mouth to swallow him whole.

Just as a smile appeared on Xue Wanlong's face, sword light burst forth from within the water dragon's body, easily shattering it.

At the same time, a chilling sword aura shot out like lightning, slashing towards Xue Wanlong.

"How dare you!"

Xue Wanlong was furious, and the three-headed water dragon transformed into chains, binding Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan unleashed three consecutive sword strikes.

Although he successfully shattered the three chains, Fang Xuan's offensive was momentarily halted.

"You little bastard, you killed my son, so you'll pay with your life!"

Xue Wanlong's eyes were filled with murderous intent. The water dragons had already coiled into a coiled dragon seal, which he angrily smashed towards Fang Xuan.

This seal is incredibly powerful.

Fang Xuan also felt immense pressure.

But he did not retreat. Instead, he turned around and merged with the Phoenix Cry Sword, transforming it into a crimson longsword, which he slashed towards the Panlong Seal.

Man and sword become one!

Sword energy bursts forth, cleaving through the vast sky.

"Snap!"

When the longsword struck the Panlong Seal, countless cracks spread across the entire seal, centered on the sword tip, until it finally shattered.

"cough!"

With the Panlong Seal broken, Fang Xuan revealed himself, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

"The sixth level of the Divine Will Realm is indeed beyond my current capabilities."

Fang Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Xue Wanlong with a solemn expression.

"As expected of a sword cultivator, you were able to break my Panlong Seal."

Xue Wanlong stared coldly at Fang Xuan, his tone chilling as he said, "Although sword cultivators can fight beyond their level, it's a pity you're too weak."

"Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Wanlong stomped his foot on the air, and an even more ferocious water dragon emerged from behind him.

"Dragon Devours Heaven and Earth, Kill!"

The ferocious water dragon roared and lunged at Fang Xuan with bared teeth and claws.

Dragon Devouring Heaven and Earth is the strongest secret technique in "Water Dragon Chant". In Xue Wanlong's hands, its power is comparable to a low-grade earth-level martial art, far surpassing the Coiled Dragon Seal.

The water dragon opened its massive mouth and swallowed up half the sky.

Including Fang Xuan!

At this moment, Fang Xuan sensed a life-or-death crisis.

"Kill me?"

Fang Xuan's white hair flew wildly, and his body exuded a chilling sword aura.

"You don't deserve it!"

Fang Xuan patted the sword box behind him, and the sword rang out with a clear, resounding sound that echoed through the sky.

Sword sheath, open!

A torrent of sword energy burst forth from the sword sheath, illuminating the night sky and shattering the wind and clouds.

The Phoenix Cry Sword in Fang Xuan's hand split into two, then into four, and was positioned in four directions to protect Fang Xuan.

The chilling sword energy from the sword box poured into the four longswords in turn, causing them to spin rapidly around Fang Xuan.

"Return to Nothingness Sword Formation, gather!"

As soon as the sword formation was completed, terrifying sword energy that shook the heavens and earth swept outwards.

The ferocious water dragon was instantly riddled with holes by the sword energy.

Fang Xuan, who was in the sword formation, reached out and grabbed the Phoenix Cry Sword.

"One sword can cleave the river!"

"Water Dragon Chant" is a water-attribute martial art, while "One Sword Cuts the River" is a perfect counter to this type of martial art.

This sword strike carried the power of the entire sword formation, its power reaching Fang Xuan's current peak state.

"Break it!"

The Phoenix Cry Sword slashed horizontally, its bright sword energy bursting forth from the blade, instantly cleaving the already tattered and deformed ferocious water dragon in two.

"snort!"

With his offensive broken, Xue Wanlong let out a muffled groan, his body jolted, and his eyes sharpened.

Sword cultivators are indeed terrifying.

"But that's all the tricks you have!"

Although Fang Xuan broke through Xue Wanlong's attack, he kept feeling a sense of emptiness within his body, and his aura rapidly weakened.

"Are we nearing our limit?"

Feeling the power dissipating from his body, Fang Xuan pursed his lips tightly.

In his current state, he is no match for Xue Wanlong.

"Now, die!"

Just as Xue Wanlong was about to strike and kill Fang Xuan with a single palm strike, a disheveled figure flew backward from a distance, directly interrupting Xue Wanlong's attack.

"Wow!"

As soon as he regained his balance, the man spat out a mouthful of blood.

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Xue Wanlong couldn't help but gasp.

This person was none other than Tang Xuan.

On his body, there was a hideous wound that stretched from his left shoulder to his abdomen, deep enough to expose the bone, with blood gushing out.

Its aura was extremely weak.

Clearly, Tang Xuan was severely injured by the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's attack.

"Brother Tang, you..."

Tang Xuan quickly swallowed a pill, circulated his internal energy to refine the medicinal power to stop the bleeding, and glared hatefully at Xue Wanlong.

Xue Wanlong, that fool, let him face the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor alone.

Not only did it almost kill him, it also failed to kill Fang Xuan.

If it weren't for the formidable enemy in front of him, Tang Xuan would have loved to curse out loud.

"That beast is too strong; I am no match for him."

After suppressing his injuries, Tang Xuan calmly spoke.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, who had severely injured Tang Xuan, swayed and appeared in front of Fang Xuan, shielding him.

"What happened to you, kid, that made you look so disheveled?"

Looking at Fang Xuan, whose aura was also weakening, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor said in a deep voice, "You almost lost your life."

"If I die, you will not live either."

Fang Xuan stuffed a handful of pills into his mouth, forcibly maintaining his condition.

"Stop talking nonsense, just finish them off and get out of this hellhole!"

Fang Xuan also sensed that several powerful auras were heading this way from Sunset Town.

By then, you won't be able to leave even if you want to.

"No need for you to tell me, I'll take the lives of these two old bastards!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor stood upright, his surging demonic aura erupting like a volcano.

The void surrounding the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor churned and trembled, generating powerful fluctuations.

"Click click click!"

A powerful surge of energy flowed throughout the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's body, causing his physique to grow ever larger and his energy to become ever more terrifying.

"Awooo!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor roared to the sky.

A blood-red thread pierced through the sky and shot out from the mouth of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, as if to split the night sky in two.

"What is this?"

Xue Wanlong's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he felt short of breath.

The demon emperor's aura was truly terrifying.

"The Crimson Blood Serpent's innate divine power."

Tang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, how could I have been injured by him?"

"What? The Crimson Blood Serpent?"

Xue Wanlong exclaimed in surprise, "Weren't these demonic beasts extinct?"

"You ask me? How would I know?"

Tang Xuan said irritably, "Let's attack together, otherwise we might both be doomed here today."

"good!"

Although Xue Wanlong readily agreed, his eyes were actually darting around, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Die!"

At this moment, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor raised his claws and pointed at Tang Xuan and the other person.

"laugh!"

The blood-red line connecting heaven and earth fell like sword light, slashing towards Tang Xuan and the other person.

"Snap!"

Beneath the bloodline, space shatters like a mirror.

Wherever it goes, not a single void remains intact.

"Brother Wanlong, act quickly! If we can block this attack, this beast will be weakened, and we might have a chance!"

Tang Xuan let out a cold shout and quickly formed hand seals, conjuring thorns that transformed into a shield above his head.

"childish!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor chuckled.

This is the Crimson Blood Python's innate divine ability—Blood Sky Line, a secret technique activated by the python's essence blood, and its power is extremely strong.

"puff!"

really.

As the bloodline fell, the thorn shield couldn't even last a moment before being pierced through by the bloodline.

"Oh no, Brother Wanlong, hurry..."

Before Tang Xuan could finish speaking, he saw Xue Wanlong withdraw and retreat, then turn and fly away.

"Brother Tang, hang in there! I'll go call for help right away!"

Tang Xuan's words almost made him vomit blood, and he immediately started cursing.

"Xue Wanlong, I'll curse your ancestors!"

Tang Xuan's eyes turned bloodshot, and he immediately used his movement technique to try to avoid the falling blood lines.

But the bloodline seemed to lock onto Tang Xuan, following him like a leech no matter which direction he fled in.

A life-or-death crisis surfaced in Tang Xuan's mind, causing him to feel a pang of regret.

If he hadn't coveted the treasure on Fang Xuan's body, he wouldn't have put himself in such a desperate situation.

"Boom!"

Just when Tang Xuan thought he was doomed, the heavens and earth roared.

A gigantic, pitch-black hand suddenly emerged from Sunset Town.

A gigantic hand blotted out the sky and pierced through the night, ripping the bloodline in one swift motion.
