The First Venerable of All Paths

"Who dares to steal from my Poison Spider Mercenary Group? They're asking for it!"

Seeing the Desolate Crystal in his hands being taken away, the Blood Spider was instantly enraged.

With a flick of his hand, crimson spider silk shot out like sharp swords, aiming to snatch back the Desolate Crystal.

However, with a flick of the hand, the spider silk, powerful enough to shred refined iron, shattered like porcelain.

"How is that possible?"

Blood Spider's eyes widened, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Blood Spider quickly calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "I am Blood Spider, the vice-captain of the Poison Spider Mercenary Group. May I ask who you are?"

Two figures stood suspended in mid-air.

A young man in white carrying a box had distinct features and a handsome appearance.

A woman veiled in gauze, with a striking figure and eyes as deep as a still pool.

These people were none other than Fang Xuan and Li Guanlan.

"So this is the Wild Crystal. It's just what I need."

Looking at the barren crystal in his hand, Fang Xuan's eyes lit up slightly.

In Huang's memories, there are records of Huangjing.

Wild Crystals are the primordial power of the wilderness, scattered in various places and spontaneously condensing, making them extremely rare.

But each of these rare crystals contains extremely pure energy.

Wild beasts can continuously transform their bloodline and increase their strength by absorbing wild crystals.

It even has a certain tempering effect on the physical body of martial artists.

Most importantly, the Desolate Crystals can gradually change the Desolate Realm, allowing it to regain its vitality.

With enough Desolate Crystals and the discovery of a few Spirit Veins, the Desolate Realm could even become a sacred place most suitable for martial artists to cultivate.

Who I am is not important.

Fang Xuan looked at the Blood Spider and said calmly, "I want this thing. You can all get lost."

"What did you say?"

Blood Spider's face darkened, and he said coldly, "This Desolate Crystal belongs to my Poison Spider Mercenary Group. Isn't your action somewhat inappropriate?"

He even risked offending the Azure Wolf Mercenary Group for these few Desolate Crystals.

Now, not only did he fail to obtain the waste crystal, he was also publicly reprimanded.

"If you're not happy about it, then just put up with it."

Fang Xuan said without any politeness, "Three breaths. If you're not leaving, then stay."

With Fang Xuan's current strength, even if this Blood Spider is a powerful expert at the sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm, there's no need to reason with him anymore.

Not to mention, this barren crystal is indeed of great use to him.

"Boy, you're just a mere first-level Divine Intent Realm martial artist, daring to be so arrogant after stealing my things. You really don't take me seriously at all!"

Blood Spider had never suffered such humiliation. He roared, "I'll give you two choices: either hand over everything you have, including the Desolate Crystal, and give that little girl next to you to my brothers to enjoy; or I'll personally kill you and take the Desolate Crystal!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Blood Spider Mercenary Group immediately cheered loudly, uttering lewd and obscene words.

Although Li Guanlan's face was covered, his perfect figure and unique temperament alone were enough to make people unable to resist.

This held a fatal attraction for mercenaries who spent their lives wandering the Sunset Wasteland.

"court death!"

Upon hearing this, a chilling killing intent flashed in Li Guanlan's deep eyes.

"Let me do it, so you don't get your hands dirty."

Fang Xuan stopped Li Guanlan, then stepped forward, his cold eyes fixed on the Blood Spider, a chilling glint in them.

"If you don't take the chance, then stay here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan clenched his fist, and a golden-red firebird appeared in his palm.

"Go."

The firebird flapped its wings and flew out, instantly transforming into a giant divine bird. With a sudden flap of its wings, countless fiery feathers roared out and shot towards the members of the Poison Spider Mercenary Group.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Blood Spider didn't take these fire feathers seriously, and with a cold snort, he struck out with a palm.

The spiritual energy gathered and transformed into a giant hand, grabbing at Huo Yu, intending to destroy him.

However, the next moment, the spiritual palm was pierced by the fire feather and then burned into nothingness by the terrifying high temperature.

"not good!"

Seeing that his attack had failed to stop the fire feathers, Blood Spider's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get out of the way!"

But it was too late.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Fire Feather moved with lightning speed, piercing through the bodies of these Poison Spider Mercenaries in a single exchange.

This included two martial artists at the second level of the Divine Intent Realm, who were instantly refined by the high temperature contained in the fire feather.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen elite members of the Poison Spider Mercenary Group were killed, leaving only Blood Spider alive.

After breaking through to the Divine Intent Realm, Fang Xuan's strength was comprehensively enhanced.

As a result, the power of the Phoenix Feather Rocket also increased several times over.

"hiss!"

Looking at his subordinates who had all turned to ashes, Blood Spider gasped in shock.

"Kid, what exactly did you do?"

The Blood Spider roared, "You've killed so many of my brothers, aren't you afraid of the Poison Spider's revenge?"

He was extremely shocked.

This person's cultivation level appears to be only at the first level of the Divine Realm, but his methods are incredibly powerful and ruthless.

Even if it were him, he wouldn't be able to do it so easily.

"Boy, so what if you're strong? Do you dare to oppose my Poison Spider Mercenary Group?"

Wen Kang also looked incredulous.

He never expected that Fang Xuan would not only survive Huang's attack, but would also possess such terrifying strength.

It's simply unbelievable.

"Just a mere mercenary group. If they mess with me, I'll wipe them out."

Fang Xuan spoke indifferently, then slammed his palm down on the Blood Spider.

"You can die too."

The next moment, the firebird swayed and transformed into a fireball, crashing straight into the blood spider.

"Kid, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

The blood spider's face contorted in a ferocious grimace. It abruptly formed hand seals and roared, "Thousand Webs, suppress them!"

As Blood Spider finished speaking, hundreds of blood-red spider silk burst forth from his body, forming a spider web that enveloped the fireball.

"Buzz!"

The fireball was moving faster and faster, and within a few breaths it crashed into the spider web.

"seal up!"

The Blood Spider's hand seals changed, and the spider web suddenly closed, sealing the fireball inside.

"That's all there is to it."

Upon seeing this, Blood Spider couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

"Kid, is that all you've got?"

However, the next moment, Blood Spider's smile froze on his face.

Because the blood-red spider web began to break apart one by one, and it seemed that violent flames were burning wildly inside.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, a burst of violent energy erupted from it, completely destroying the spider web.

"snort!"

Blood Spider let out a muffled groan, its body trembling several times, its face showing even greater horror.

"Ordinary flames would never have such power; even ordinary ground fire couldn't break through the intricate web."

Blood Spider exclaimed, "Could this be Heavenly Fire?"

"Your eyesight is pretty good."

Fang Xuan's lips curled into a smile: "It's a pity there's no reward."

"Kid, I admit defeat today."

Blood Spider's eyes were filled with resentment, but he still said, blustering but weak, "But this isn't over. Next time we meet, I'll make you pay the price!"

With that, the Blood Spider stomped its foot on the giant spider beneath it: "Go!"

His cultivation method is quite unique, and it is most susceptible to suppression by flames.

However, the opponent possesses Heavenly Fire, which is enough to suppress his strength by two minor realms.

More importantly, Wen Kang and that wild wolf were also nearby.

If they join forces, I have absolutely no chance of survival, so it's best to escape first.

The giant spider used its massive legs to propel itself up, instantly launching itself dozens of meters away.

After a few times, they escaped more than 100 meters away.

"Trying to leave?"

Fang Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile, and with another grasp of his five fingers, the golden-red Phoenix Cry Sword instantly appeared in his hand.

"cut!"

With his sword in hand, Fang Xuan did not hesitate to unleash a slash.

One sword pierces the peak!

The sharp, scorching sword energy tore through the air, instantly traversing a hundred meters and catching up with the Blood Spider.

Sensing the chilling killing intent coming from behind, Blood Spider instinctively turned its head and screamed.

"Sword energy?!"

In the rush, the Blood Spider rose into the air from the giant spider's body.

"Pfft!"

The sword energy slashed across the giant spider, causing its massive body to tremble before splitting in two.

The two halves of the body crashed to the ground, splattering the foul-smelling blood everywhere.

The giant spider, at the Demon Emperor level, was slain with a single sword strike.

"Heavenly Fire, Sword Qi?!"

Blood Spider seemed to realize something, and said in a voice full of shock, "You are Fang Xuan?"

Fang Xuan, the young man who once led the Sunset Alliance to gather countless powerful figures to besiege him.

He possesses heavenly fire and is also a sword cultivator.

Aside from Fang Xuan, Blood Spider couldn't think of a second possibility.

"Weren't you taken away by Ara? How could you not be dead?!"

Blood Spider felt a chill run down his spine, and his blood felt like it was about to freeze.

Although it's true that he's at the sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm and his cultivation methods are quite remarkable, it also depends on who he's compared to.

This ruthless figure before us has single-handedly turned the entire Sunset Alliance upside down, causing countless powerful figures to fall victim to his attacks.

Not to mention, this guy managed to survive Huang's clutches.

That alone is something that most people cannot do.

Thinking about all this, Blood Spider felt nothing but regret. Of all the bad luck, he had to run into this god of death.

"Fang Xuan, I don't want the wasteland crystals anymore, and I won't pursue the matter from before."

Blood Spider tried to sound calm as she said, "If you let me leave, we'll keep to ourselves from now on."

But what Blood Spider was thinking was that after leaving, he would immediately contact the Sunset Alliance and launch a full-scale attack to kill Fang Xuan.

Since Blood Spider cultivated to the Divine Intent Realm, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?

No matter how powerful Fang Xuan is, he is nothing more than an ant in the face of the current alliance.

This is also a good opportunity to do the Sunset League a huge favor.

"Fang Xuan, you absolutely cannot let him leave."

At this moment, Wen Kang said, "Blood Spider is extremely vengeful. If you let him go today, not only will the Poison Spider Mercenary Group not let you off the hook, but he might even send a message to the Sunset Alliance to gather a large number of powerful people to ambush and kill you. Why don't you and I join forces to keep him here completely? Even if the Poison Spider Mercenary Group retaliates in the future, my Azure Wolf Mercenary Group will naturally be there to protect you."

"Wen Kang, don't talk nonsense!"

Blood Spider was furious upon hearing this, shouting, "I, Blood Spider, keep my word! If I say I won't pursue this, I mean it!"

"Brother Fang Xuan, don't listen to his nonsense. As long as you release me, your affairs will be the affairs of my Poison Spider Mercenary Group."

Blood Spider patted his chest and said, "Besides, I have influence with the Sunset Alliance. With my intervention, I guarantee the alliance will no longer target you."

"There's absolutely no need for that."

Fang Xuan sneered, "I'd rather believe the sword in my hand than your words. So you should just die!"

After saying that, Fang Xuan unleashed another sword strike.

One sword can cleave the river!
