The First Venerable of All Paths

"This time, the substitute talisman won't work on you."

Fang Xuan flicked his Phoenix Cry Sword, wiping off the blood, and looked at Jiang Bingzhi and the other two with a cold gaze.

"The three of you, shall we continue?"

These people wanted to kill him, and Fang Xuan naturally wouldn't let them go.

Today, let's kill to our hearts' content!

We will not rest until we turn the Dao Seeking Sect upside down!

"This kid is too strong; he'll be difficult to deal with."

Jiang Bingzhi's expression was grave. He said in a deep voice, "Don't hold back, or he might really get away!"

"escape?"

Zhao Yue sneered, "The sect's protective formation is activated. Where can he escape to? He's held on this long; how much spiritual energy does he have left? If we're careful, we can wear him down!"

"Don't be stupid!"

Zhuo Yuan shouted, "This kid can't be judged by ordinary standards. Before we wear him down, we might all die!"

"Most importantly, he also has a Soul Master as a helper!"

Zhao Yue's face stiffened, and he said irritably, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"I tried to stop the little girl, but I could only hold her off for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea."

Zhuo Yuan said solemnly, "You and Elder Jiang should join forces and eliminate Fang Xuan within the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea!"

"Half a cup of tea?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue's expression grew even more unpleasant.

Given the methods Fang Xuan has demonstrated, it will not be an easy task to eliminate the opponent within half a cup of tea.

"Zhao Yue, don't hesitate!"

Jiang Bingzhi said, "If we don't get rid of Fang Xuan quickly, we'll all lose face completely, and we won't be able to explain it to the Peak Master!"

"OK!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yue's eyes hardened, and he said, "Then don't hold back, kill that little beast!"

Zhuo Yuan was the first to make a move.

He took out several talismans and slapped them on his body, forming rays of spiritual light that protected him.

These are soul-protecting talismans, which can, to a certain extent, block a soul master's soul attacks.

His purpose was not merely to endure half a cup of tea's time in Li Guanlan's hands, but to obtain the Devouring Heaven Soul Jar.

Such a treasure is too good to be in the hands of a little girl; it's just right to give it to him.

"Whoosh!"

With a sway, Zhuo Yuan shot into the air, his aura locking onto Li Guanlan.

"A Soul Master, is it? Then let me have my way with you!"

After saying that, Zhuo Yuan disappeared from his spot again, suddenly appeared behind Li Guanlan, and threw a punch.

Soul Masters are strongest in their soul attacks, but weak in close combat.

With proper precautions, given his abilities, he could absolutely crush Li Guanlan.

"die!"

Zhuo Yuan's punch was filled with surging blood and qi, and his spiritual power was rolling. With the advantage of taking the initiative, even a strong person at the fifth level of the Divine Intent Realm could be easily killed.

"puff!"

The fist struck Li Guanlan squarely, instantly obliterating him.

"Um?"

Zhuo Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Is this girl really that weak?

"wrong!"

Zhuo Yuan quickly noticed the anomaly, because after Li Guanlan exploded, a strange black vortex suddenly appeared.

Then, a deep black light shot out from it and struck Zhuo Yuan hard.

"not good!"

Zhuo Yuan's expression changed drastically, and as he threw a punch, he quickly retreated.

"Thump!"

A muffled thud resounded, and Zhuo Yuan felt as if he had struck a mountain. An overwhelming force swept over him, almost shattering his arm.

"town!"

Before Zhuo Yuan could react, the black light suddenly burst forth, transforming into a black jar that fell down upon him, enveloping him within it.

"Knock knock knock!"

The Devouring Soul Jar trembled violently, indicating that Zhuo Yuan was angrily attacking from inside, trying to break free of the jar.

But as a figure landed on the Soul Jar and lightly tapped the ground, the Soul Jar stabilized, with only angry and terrified roars faintly emanating from it.

"My God! Elder Zhuo was already suppressed by that woman after only two exchanges!"

The disciples and elders of the Dao Seeking Sect were completely shocked by this scene, their faces filled with horror.

"Who exactly is she? When did such a powerful Soul Path expert appear in Qingzhou?!"

Fang Xuan alone has already left many elders helpless. With the addition of this Soul Dao expert, who can contend with him?

"Zhuo Yuan is a piece of trash!"

Before Zhao Yue and his companion could even make a move, Zhuo Yuan was suppressed and immediately began to curse loudly.

"Elder Jiang, shall we continue?"

At this moment, Zhao Yue was already considering retreating.

"Of course we must continue!"

Jiang Bingzhi said, "Elder Zhuo isn't so easy to suppress. Let's kill Fang Xuan while that little girl is distracted!"

Jiang Bingzhi didn't give Zhao Yue a chance to react at all and attacked immediately after he finished speaking.

"Great Transformation Heavenly Palm!"

The spiritual energy gathered and transformed into a giant hand, which slammed towards Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan turned his gaze away from Li Guanlan and swung his sword.

One sword pierces the peak!

The sword energy was sharp and fierce, directly tearing apart the giant palm of spiritual energy.

But the next moment, Jiang Bingzhi appeared in front of Fang Xuan with lightning speed, his palm crackling with lightning as he slammed it into Fang Xuan's chest.

"Five Thunder Transformation Technique!"

When Jiang Bingzhi unleashed this martial art, its power was surprisingly no less than that of Zhao Kou.

The thunderous outburst carried with it a destructive force.

"Ah, well done!"

Fang Xuan's eyes sharpened, and he also unleashed a palm strike, colliding with Jiang Bingzhi's attack.

Seeing this, Jiang Bingzhi was somewhat surprised, feeling that Fang Xuan was too arrogant, but he quickly mobilized his spiritual power, preparing to destroy Fang Xuan's dantian and life force with one blow, and completely cripple Fang Xuan.

However, something even more shocking happened to Jiang Bingzhi.

His attack not only failed to destroy Fang Xuan, but instead unleashed an even more violent and domineering thunderous power from Fang Xuan's palm.

"Snap!"

Electric snakes darted and coiled around Fang Xuan, eventually coalescing into a thunder dragon that lunged at Jiang Bingzhi.

"Zhao Yue!"

Jiang Bingzhi's expression changed. While using all his spiritual power to block, he shouted loudly for Zhao Yue.

"Sky-Splitting Palm!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Yue made his move.

He chopped down at Fang Xuan with a vertical palm strike from several meters away.

A palm strike, like a raging blade, swept in, seemingly about to cleave Fang Xuan in two.

A cold glint flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes, the Phoenix Cry Sword disappeared from his hand on its own, and he suddenly grabbed upwards with his palm.

"call!"

Flames swept across the sky, burning the heavens and earth, destroying the palm strike, and continued to rush towards Zhao Yue.

The flames of war spread!

The scorching heat made Zhao Yue's expression stiffen, but he gritted his teeth, formed a hand seal, and transformed his hands into a giant pillar, which he smashed down on Fang Xuan with great force.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, the Phoenix Cry Sword, which had just disappeared, reappeared mysteriously beside Zhao Yue, transforming into a streak of light and stabbing towards Zhao Yue's cheek.

Sensing the danger, Zhao Yue didn't dare hesitate for a moment. Without hesitation, he swung the giant pillar of spiritual energy and smashed it towards the Phoenix Cry Sword.

"Snap!"

Before the Phoenix Cry Sword, the giant pillar of spiritual energy was as fragile as a withered branch, and it exploded on the spot. The flying sword continued its momentum and pierced towards Zhao Yue.

The sword moved with lightning speed, its killing intent chilling.

As the flying sword rapidly enlarged in his eyes, Zhao Yue subconsciously took a half-step back, but quickly reacted, opening his mouth and spitting out a scale that transformed into a shield in front of him.

"Ding!"

The sword tip pierced the shield, producing a crisp metallic clang, but it failed to break through it.

"Hi!"

Zhao Yue's face lit up with wild joy, and he said with a savage grin, "I never expected that my sea monster scale armor could actually block the attack of my natal flying sword."

"Elder Jiang, kill him quickly!"

In fact, Zhao Yue didn't even need to remind him; the moment Zhao Yue made his move, Jiang Bingzhi also made his move.

His eyes were cold, his hands formed a hand seal, and all the spiritual power in his body surged into his hands.

"Boom!"

The waves surged and the water elements of heaven and earth continuously converged towards Jiang Bingzhi, forming a surge of spiritual energy.

"Awooo!"

A deafening roar erupted from the waves.

The next moment, a giant whale, hundreds of feet long, burst out of the waves, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"Giant Whale Technique, go!"

Jiang Bingzhi pointed at Fang Xuan, and the giant whale opened its blood-red maw and pounced on Fang Xuan.

This strike was comparable to the full-force attack of a seventh-level Divine Intent Realm expert.

It is also Jiang Bingzhi's biggest trump card.

Killing Fang Xuan would be an easy task.

"The strongest attack?"

Fang Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly as he activated his cultivation technique and channeled his spiritual energy.

"Hey!"

Fang Xuan suddenly spread his arms wide, and a magnificent fire phoenix emerged from behind him, its wings outstretched, radiating a scorching power that made the heavens and earth tremble.

The Undying Phoenix Flame burns the heavens.

"go!"

Fang Xuan clasped his hands together abruptly, and the fire phoenix behind him flapped its wings and charged out, colliding fiercely with the oncoming giant whale of spiritual energy.

"Boom!"

The collision of water and fire instantly unleashed a deafening roar.

The scorching heat swept in all directions, then evaporated rapidly.

In just a few moments, the Fire Phoenix and the Giant Whale vanished simultaneously.

"snort!"

Jiang Bingzhi groaned, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He never expected that Fang Xuan would break his full-force Giant Whale Technique.

"The power of heavenly fire is indeed terrifying."

Jiang Bingzhi looked at Fang Xuan, who was also spitting blood, and sneered, "However, you've also reached your limit."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan remained silent.

Just as Jiang Bingzhi said.

Having fought all this way, Fang Xuan's spiritual energy was almost completely depleted.

Fang Xuan could only block Jiang Bingzhi's attack twice at most.

However, this is the Dao Seeking Sect, where powerful figures abound.

There were also martial artists from the Zhao family of Zhongzhou, eyeing them covetously.

Not to mention, the true peak experts of the Dao Seeking Sect haven't even made a move yet.

With that in mind, Fang Xuan took a deep breath and quickly made a decision.

We must finish this quickly!

Otherwise, if we delay any longer, we might attract even more powerful experts.

"Are you in a hurry?"

Sensing the change in Fang Xuan's aura, Jiang Bingzhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Fang Xuan with icy eyes.

"Boy, surrender now, you can't escape today."

Fang Xuan glanced around and noticed several elders of the Dao Seeking Sect and experts from the Zhao family approaching.

"If I want to escape, you can't stop me."

With a smirk, Fang Xuan said, "Besides, I've also thought about escaping."

"At least before I kill you all!"

After saying that, Fang Xuan raised his arm and made a clenching motion with his five fingers.

"Snap!"

Thunder roared across the sky.

As the lightning snakes darted about, they suddenly converged on Fang Xuan.

Bathed in lightning, Fang Xuan's figure slowly floated up, making him appear like a thunder god.

"Next, please experience the taste of tribulation lightning."

Fang Xuan raised his arm and gently tapped Jiang Bingzhi.

"laugh!"

Lightning gathered at his fingertips, unleashing a power of destruction, annihilation, and end.

"This is......"

Upon sensing this power, Jiang Bingzhi's expression changed drastically.

"World-destroying tribulation lightning? How could you possibly wield such power?!"

The cataclysmic lightning is a transcendent power that surpasses even ordinary lightning tribulations; it is beyond human control.

Even some powerful individuals who have reached the peak of the Divine Intent Realm dare not touch it.

But Fang Xuan was actually able to summon and control it.

"Just how many more cards does he have up his sleeve?"

Jiang Bingzhi was horrified, but he retreated frantically.

He was only at the sixth level of the Divine Realm and was still injured.

A single wisp of world-destroying lightning would be enough to reduce him to ashes.

"Can you leave?"

Fang Xuan's expression was icy, and lightning burst forth from his fingertips, shooting towards Jiang Bingzhi like a sharp arrow.
