The First Venerable of All Paths

"Today, you will all die!"

The Crimson Scale Demon King, its scales swirling and flowing with scarlet blood, exuded a tyrannical aura.

His aura was more than twice as strong as before.

obviously.

Enraged, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor activated the demonic python's blood energy within his body.

"Let's start with you!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor looked at Xue Wanlong, and his enormous figure appeared in front of Xue Wanlong in an instant, moving as fast as lightning.

The giant claw, which had grown several times larger than before, slammed down on Xue Wanlong like a colossal pillar supporting the sky.

Sensing the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's overwhelming killing intent and extreme speed, Xue Wanlong was so frightened that his expression changed drastically.

He rapidly formed hand seals, and streams of water-attribute spiritual energy converged, transforming into a colossal water dragon hundreds of meters long.

"The Dragon Devours Heaven and Earth!"

"Awooo!"

The giant water dragon opened its mouth wide, seemingly about to swallow the Crimson Scale Demon King's giant claw.

"You ants, die!"

With a roar, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor unleashed a burst of blood-red patterns on its giant claws, striking the giant dragon's head with tremendous force.

"Bang!"

With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth, the water dragon, which was powerful enough to annihilate a fifth-level Divine Intent Realm expert, was actually blasted apart by the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's claw.

The terrifying aftershocks swept outwards, sending Xue Wanlong flying and spitting out blood.

Before Xue Wanlong could regain his footing, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor once again darted behind him and slammed down with his claws.

"Brother Tang, save me!"

Sensing impending death, Xue Wanlong's pupils contracted, and he cried out for help, disregarding his status.

"Entangled in thorns!"

At the same time, hundreds of barbed thorns came from all directions, wrapping around the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor like chains, forcefully blocking his attacks.

"Snap!"

But in just a moment, these thorns snapped.

The giant claw slammed into Xue Wanlong without hindrance.

"Pfft!"

Xue Wanlong had countless broken bones, coughing up blood, and his body crashed heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

A mountain peak, hundreds of meters high, was smashed to pieces.

Xue Wanlong was engulfed in a cloud of dust, his fate unknown.

After severely injuring Xue Wanlong with a single blow, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor did not stop.

He looked up at Tang Xuan, his face growing even redder.

"Your turn!"

Tang Xuan's expression changed drastically, and he took a few steps back.

"Boom boom boom!"

With a whooshing sound, a giant tail pierced the air and struck Tang Xuan like an iron whip.

Tang Xuan's spiritual energy circulated around him, and with a twist of his body, he narrowly avoided the attack from the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

But before Tang Xuan could catch his breath, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's giant claw struck again, landing precisely on Tang Xuan's body.

Demonic energy bursts forth, and blood and qi erupt.

"when!"

A deafening roar erupted, and Tang Xuan was slammed into the ground like a cannonball.

The ground cracked, forming gullies.

But soon, Tang Xuan emerged from the smoke and dust, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his breath much weaker than before.

Beneath his torn clothes, however, lay a black soft armor.

However, several wounds were torn open on the chest area of ​​the soft armor.

"If it weren't for this thorny armor, I would probably have died under the claws of this beast!"

Tang Xuan touched the wounds on his soft armor, his face still showing lingering fear.

Thorn Armor is a fifth-grade defensive weapon.

He spent countless resources and used the connections of the Merchant Alliance to finally invite a master craftsman to refine it, which took three years to complete.

This was originally Tang Xuan's life-saving item.

Today, however, it was destroyed by the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, which made Tang Xuan extremely heartbroken.

"Old bastard, you've got some good luck."

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor twisted his neck, his aura as violent as ever.

"I'd like to see how many blows you can withstand!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of food.

"Buzz!"

A ball of crimson light shot out from the mouth of the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, like a lightning bolt or a star, carrying immense power as it crashed into Tang Xuan.

Tang Xuan's expression changed, and he kept moving to dodge the attacks of the light spheres.

But the ball of light seemed to be locked onto Tang Xuan. No matter which direction he hid in, the ball of light followed him like a shadow, and its speed was getting faster and faster.

"Damn it!"

Tang Xuan's face was ashen. He had already increased his speed to the limit, but he was still unable to get rid of the light sphere.

"Captain Madfire, save me!"

Left with no other choice, Tang Xuan had to swallow his pride and ask Kuang Huo for help.

Kuanghuo turned his head and glanced at it, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Crimson Blood Serpent? Interesting."

Kuanghuo said, "Fire Master, he's in your hands now."

"Awooo!"

A loud roar of beasts rang out, the earth cracked, and scorching heat filled the sky and earth.

Then a fiery lion appeared, stepping through the air from below.

This lion is extremely majestic, its long mane dancing wildly like flames, and it is truly extraordinary.

He stood on a cloud of fire and spat out a blood-red orb of light into the distance.

"call!"

A fireball the size of a head roared out and, in a few flashes, accurately struck the crimson orb.

"Boom!"

The ball of light and the ball of fire exploded simultaneously, and the terrifying shockwave sent Tang Xuan, who was almost within reach, flying away as well.

"A Fiery Lion?"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor looked at the lion, his eyes filled with savage killing intent.

"You little brat, how dare you obstruct me, the Emperor?"

The Flaming Lion is also an extremely high-level demonic beast.

They are skilled at controlling fire and also enjoy feeding on various kinds of strange fire.

"The Crimson Blood Serpent has been extinct for many years."

An extremely aged voice came from the mouth of the Fiery Lion.

"I wonder if absorbing your essence and blood will allow me to evolve once more."

There was a hint of anticipation in his tone.

"Madfire, that kid's still alive. We can't let him get away."

The Flame Lion glanced at the raging fire and said, "I have been coveting the Heavenly Fire within him for a long time. It must be left for me."

"Don't worry, Fire Master, I can't bear to let him get away."

With a wave of his hand, Kuanghuo dispersed the dust below, but not a single person was to be seen.

"It was well hidden."

Kuang Huo smiled calmly, then pointed with his finger.

At his fingertips, the flames swirled and condensed, shooting off like lightning.

"Boom!"

Flames struck the earth, ripping up layers of soil that swept and spread like a blast wave.

Beneath the earth, a massive and sinister magic array was revealed.

The array patterns flowed endlessly.

"A magic circle?!"

Kuang Huo paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Unfortunately, a fourth-grade magic array is not enough to leave me helpless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuang Huo flipped his hand over.

A giant fiery hand materialized and slammed down onto the formation below.

"Buzz!"

Before the giant fiery palm could strike the formation, hundreds of blood-red chains emerged from it, coiling upwards like long snakes and piercing into the giant palm.

"Bang!"

The chains strangled the giant fiery hand, tearing it apart.

"Hmm, this is interesting."

Kuang Huo smiled calmly: "It seems I'll have to use my real skills."

Kuang Huo formed hand seals, and flames surged forth, coalescing into a flaming lion that lunged fiercely at the formation.

The blood-red chains that came howling at them were torn apart by the fiery lion.

This fiery lion is not the actual fiery lion, but rather a condensation of fiery spiritual energy, yet its power is extremely formidable.

"Trapped at sea!"

Inside the formation, Fang Xuan sat cross-legged, the formation diagrams swirling in his eyes.

More arrayed chains shot straight into the sky, binding and tightening around the fiery lion.

"Snap!"

However, the power of the Flame Lion was simply too great. The second transformation of the Mountain and River Lock Formation could not harm it at all, and was instead torn apart by the Flame Lion.

"Awooo!"

The fiery lion, like a volcano, slammed its claws into the formation.

"Forbidden air!"

Just as the lion's giant paw touched the formation, it suddenly stopped, as if it had been imprisoned by an invisible force.

"The formation locks the mountains and rivers, blood shatters in all directions!"

Fang Xuan raised his arm and clenched his fist tightly.

Hundreds of blood-red chains, like tentacles, pierced directly into the body of the Fiery Lion and then exploded.

"Bang!"

The next instant, the fiery lion shattered like a mirror.

The attack was broken, and Kuang Huo's figure swayed, as if he had been slightly affected.

I underestimated you.

Fury surged in Kuanghuo's eyes, and his spiritual power circulated within his body, unleashing his full cultivation at the sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm.

"Watch me shatter this formation with one punch!"

Kuanghuo raised his arm and clenched his fist.

"Whoosh!"

Kuang Huo suddenly vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of the formation, smashing down with a punch.

"Boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, and the formation shattered on the spot.

But at that moment, the sound of swords rang out, and countless sword energies slashed towards the raging fire.

Kuang Huo relentlessly unleashed his punches, shattering each sword aura, making it impossible for him to get close to Fang Xuan.

On the contrary, because the sword energy was too sharp and endless, it caused Kuang Huo to retreat continuously.

"Sword cultivators are indeed troublesome!"

The more he fought, the angrier he became.

Despite his cultivation at the sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm, he was still unable to get close to Fang Xuan, and his strength was simply not enough to unleash its full power.

"We can't let this kid lead us by the nose, otherwise, if we continue to delay, uncontrollable changes will occur."

Fang Xuan wasn't only interested in his raging fire.

In this desolate wasteland, the Mad Lion Mercenaries are not the only powerful force.

Flying Eagle, Gray Wolf, and those guys in the top three.

"Come!"

With a swift movement of his five fingers, a flaming spear materialized in his hand.

This musket is three meters long, with intricate flame patterns engraved on its body and covered in a layer of red flames.

Flaming Lion King Spear!

Forged with various fire-attribute materials, it also sealed the demonic soul of a fourth-grade fire lion, making its grade as high as fifth grade.

With this spear, Kuang Huo was even able to fight against a powerful expert at the seventh level of the Divine Intent Realm, and made a name for himself in this Sunset Wasteland.

"Break it!"

With the Fiery Lion King Spear in hand, the fiery aura suddenly changed.

With a thrust of the spear, its gleam was dazzling.

All the sword energy was swept away.

No matter how strong the Guixu Sword Qi was, Fang Xuan's cultivation was too weak, and he was unable to unleash its full power.

"Take another shot!"

Kuang Huo brandished his spear, and a flurry of spear shadows swept towards Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan's expression was solemn. He dared not take the attack head-on and could only use his movement technique to dodge.

But the spear's edge had already locked onto him, leaving him no way to escape.

Seeing that his skin was already stinging and his blood and qi were stagnating, Fang Xuan did not dare to hesitate and clenched his fist.

As soon as the God of Slaughter Spear appeared, Fang Xuan thrust it out.

"His spear strikes are as swift as a divine being!"

The sky split open, and a giant spear emerged from the void, spinning as it thrust out.

The aura of killing intent was like a raging storm, dazzling as a rainbow.

The killing spear and the fiery spear light collided fiercely, ultimately annihilating each other.

"This gun..."

Looking at the God of Slaughter Spear in Fang Xuan's hand, Kuang Huo sneered: "It's good for killing, but not for power."

"Today, I'll show you what the way of the gun truly is."

With a flick of his wrist, Kuang Huo unleashed the Flaming Lion King Spear, which roared forth like a raging fiery lion.

"Lion King Thorn!"

Fang Xuan's eyes sharpened, and he poured the power within his body into the God-Slaying Spear.

"Boom!"

The sky darkened, and eight long spears, one blue and one red, emerged from the Suicide Spear, forming a spear array that charged towards the Flaming Lion.

"Spear cleaves in all directions!"

A battle of two guns, the victor reigns supreme!
