The First Venerable of All Paths

"now you!"

The God-Slaying Spear pointed directly at the raging fire, and Fang Xuan unleashed a boundless killing intent.

It was this madman who disregarded his status to attack him, nearly killing him and pushing him to the brink of despair several times.

Fang Xuan returned to seek revenge, and Kuang Huo was one of the people he most wanted to kill.

"Kid, you're really too arrogant."

Sensing the overwhelming killing intent surging from Fang Xuan, Kuang Huo's face turned icy cold, flames rose around him, and a flaming spear appeared in his hand.

Armored weapon – Flaming Lion King Spear.

On the flaming spear, crimson flame patterns flowed endlessly, releasing a violent and scorching aura that caused the air to churn and waves of heat to surge.

"You escaped by chance before, but this time I'll make sure you die a horrible death and be completely annihilated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuang Huo suddenly burst out, his Flaming Lion King Spear carrying rolling waves of fire, like a fiery lion soaring through the air, aiming straight for Fang Xuan's heart.

"clang!"

Fang Xuan flicked his wrist, and the God of Slaughter Spear was placed horizontally in front of him.

A deafening roar of metal clashing exploded, and a violent force spread outwards, causing the barren ground beneath their feet to crack open with countless spiderweb-like fissures.

The two men's spears clashed, their spears flashing, and streaks of intense fire collided with the dark spear light, creating a series of booming sounds.

Fang Xuan unleashed all his skills, with world-destroying lightning swirling around the spear and the faint glimmer of immortal phoenix fire. His spear techniques were wide and sweeping, combining offense and defense.

Breaking through the Divine Realm and wielding both lightning and fire attributes, Fang Xuan's strength became even more domineering.

Kuang Huo's gun technique was equally ferocious and ruthless, each strike carrying the blazing flames that could incinerate everything, each move aimed directly at Fang Xuan's vital points.

The two men clashed with guns and fought with fire, neither giving an inch.

In just a few exchanges, a storm was brewing in Kuanghuo's heart.

He originally thought that Fang Xuan was only at the first level of the Divine Intent Realm, and even if he had a fortuitous encounter, his combat strength would be limited.

But after several head-on clashes, he was shocked to discover that Fang Xuan's physical body and spiritual power were in no way inferior to a powerhouse at the fourth level of the Divine Intent Realm.

Even though he hadn't used his full strength, he still couldn't gain the slightest advantage in a contest of marksmanship alone.

"Good lad, no wonder you dared to come back for revenge!"

Kuang Huo's eyes were solemn, filled with shock: "It seems that your strength has indeed improved rapidly during this time, and you are actually able to contend with me."

But Kuanghuo showed little fear, sneering, "That's all there is to it."

Although Fang Xuan's spear skills were strong and his combat strength was extraordinary, the huge gap in cultivation level could not be made up for by external forces.

"I'll see just how long you can hold out!"

With a furious roar, Kuang Huo no longer held back his cultivation, and his powerful spiritual energy exploded outwards, causing the flames around him to surge once more!

"Boom!"

A pressure several times stronger than before swept across the area, revealing Kuang Huo's true cultivation level—the seventh level of the Divine Intent Realm!

The power that Kuanghuo had deliberately suppressed earlier erupted at this moment.

Compared to when he fought Fang Xuan, Kuang Huo's cultivation level had actually increased by a minor realm.

The flames surrounding it were even hotter than before.

Although it cannot compare to heavenly fire, it is no weaker than ordinary earth fire.

"Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time."

Feeling the scorching spiritual energy flowing through his body, Kuang Huo said with some regret, "If I had a few more days, I could have completely refined the power of the Blazing Flame Stone and advanced my cultivation even further."

Kuang Huo glared at Fang Xuan, his eyes flashing with killing intent: "But killing you is enough!"

From the exchange just now, he had figured out Fang Xuan's true cultivation level.

"Blazing Sky Spear!"

Kuang Huo's eyes were bloodshot, and he gripped the Flaming Lion King Spear tightly with both hands, pouring all his spiritual power into the spear.

On the spear shaft, thousands of flames condensed, transforming into a hundred-foot-tall fiery lion. Its roar shook the wasteland, carrying the power to destroy everything, and it slammed fiercely towards Fang Xuan.

This shot is one of Madfire's most powerful killing moves, far surpassing all the previous spear techniques he had used.

"That shot was very powerful."

Fang Xuan's expression hardened at the sight of the fiery lion charging towards him, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

The God-Slaying Spear was raised high, with tribulation lightning and immortal phoenix fire intertwined and entwined, and lightning and fire burst forth on the spear body at the same time, and the spear was thrust out.

Fang Xuan was actually prepared to take the fatal shot head-on.

"A hundred battles in reincarnation!"

Fang Xuan let out a low shout, and his spear pierced through the air, heading straight for the giant fiery lion.

"boom!"

The Fiery Lion and the God of Slaughter Spear collided with a deafening roar.

In an instant, a terrifying shockwave surged in all directions, blasting away all the rubble and dust.

Fang Xuan's arm muscles tensed, his tiger's mouth went numb, and his body was pushed backward by the enormous force, his feet carving two deep furrows in the wasteland.

He used all his strength to barely block the shot, but his blood and qi surged and his chest ached.

"As expected, the power of the seventh level of the Divine Intent Realm is not so easy to contend with."

Fang Xuan's expression hardened slightly as he circulated his internal energy to suppress his churning blood and qi.

Seeing that Fang Xuan had only retreated and had not been defeated by a single spear, Kuang Huo was even more surprised, but his offensive did not stop at all.

The Flaming Lion King Spear was swung once more, its shadows pouring out like a torrential rain, unleashing a barrage of deadly fiery attacks, each one deadly.

Gunfire filled the sky, and flames surged.

The onslaught of fire grew increasingly ferocious, wave after wave.

One after another, fiery lions, each several meters in size, kept pouncing towards Fang Xuan.

Everything, both in the sky and on the ground, was sealed off.

"A hundred kills turn to frost!"

Fang Xuan swung his spear, unleashing a series of chilling yet intensely hot spear beams to meet the raging fire's domineering offensive.

"Boom!"

The sky collapsed and the earth caved in; yellow sand churned and violent winds swept in all directions.

Although Fang Xuan possessed astonishing combat prowess, his cultivation level was ultimately only at the first level of the Divine Intent Realm. Faced with Kuang Huo's all-out attack, he gradually began to fall into a disadvantageous position.

Wen Kang, who was not far away, watched in horror, his palms sweating profusely.

Kuang Huo truly lives up to his reputation as the leader of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group; his cultivation and combat strength far surpass those of Kuang Huo.

Moreover, this time when he made a move, his strength was several times greater than last time.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand three moves.

To his astonishment, Fang Xuan had managed to fight Kuang Huo to this point, only falling to the bottom without showing any signs of defeat.

What puzzled him was that even if Fang Xuan's combat strength was remarkable, the difference in cultivation level was still there.

Where does he get his confidence that he can kill Kuang Huo?

Whether he has a hidden trump card or is simply being overly arrogant.

Li Guanlan, however, remained calm as he watched the two combatants, showing no sign of urgency or worry.

Based on his understanding of Fang Xuan, this guy is still testing him.

"Die!"

Kuang Huo twisted the Flaming Lion King Spear in his hand and slashed it horizontally, as if he wanted to smash Fang Xuan in half at the waist.

"Now!"

A glint flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes, and he was about to retaliate.

"Awooo!"

Just then, a powerful and majestic wolf howl came from the distant horizon.

The next moment, a giant claw, hundreds of feet long, reached out from the sky and slammed down on the fiery lion.

"Thump!"

With a deafening thud, the giant claw and the fiery lion vanished.

But Kuanghuo was forced back several steps, his face cold as he stared at the sky.

over there,

A giant wild wolf stood floating in the air.

On its back was a gray wolf clad in armor.

It was none other than Canglang, the leader of the Canglang Mercenary Group!

"Azure Wolf, what do you mean?"

Kuang Huo snarled, "Are you planning to protect Fang Xuan?"

With a loud roar, Canglang appeared and blocked Fang Xuan and Kuanghuo.

"Fang Xuan saved the second brother and protected this little brat. I, Canglang, cannot ignore this favor."

Canglang's gaze was icy, his powerful aura locking onto Kuanghuo: "With me here, you cannot kill him."

"Azure Wolf, I think you've gone mad!"

Madfire flew into a rage: "Don't you know he's wanted by the Alliance? If you protect him, you're going against the Alliance!"

"So what if it's an alliance?"

Canglang said coldly, "My Canglang Mercenary Group has always been clear about gratitude and grudges. Fang Xuan saved the second brother and the little wolf. If you deal with him, you are dealing with me."

Upon hearing this, Kuanghuo's face turned extremely gloomy.

Canglang's cultivation level was not much weaker than his.

With the wild wolves beneath him, if they joined forces, he might not be a match for them.

Not to mention, there's also Fang Xuan, who could kill him.

However, we absolutely cannot let Fang Xuan leave alive today, otherwise, who knows how strong he will be next time we meet.

"Azure Wolf, do you truly intend to oppose me?"

Madfire said, "If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened; but if you continue to be stubborn, don't blame me for disregarding our years of friendship!"

"It seems there's no room for negotiation."

Canglang snorted coldly and said, "Kuanghuo, make your move. I also want to experience the power of your Flaming Lion King Spear."

Having said that, the gray wolf's figure suddenly disappeared from the wild wolf's body.

When it reappeared, it was already in front of Kuanghuo and threw a punch directly at him.

"Bang!"

Kuang Huo raised his gun to block, but was knocked back several steps by Cang Lang's punch.

"Azure Wolf, you forced me to this!"

A flash of rage appeared in Kuanghuo's eyes, and a flame mark appeared between his brows.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the earth trembled violently, and a giant crimson lion emerged from the void.

Its body is covered with lava-like patterns, and it is engulfed in raging flames. Its lion eyes are extremely fierce. It is the strongest combat force of the Mad Lion Mercenary Group - the Flaming Mad Lion.

A demon emperor whose strength has reached the peak of the eighth level.

A terrifying, demonic aura pressed down relentlessly, distorting the air as if it were being scorched by the intense heat.

"Azure Wolf, are you preparing to wage war against me, Mad Lion?"

As soon as the Fiery Lion appeared, it roared to the sky, sending waves of heat sweeping across the land.

The raging lion stared at the gray wolf, its demonic aura surging and its killing intent boundless: "Since that's the case, I, the Emperor, can grant your wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fiery Lion raised its giant flaming claws and slammed them down at the Azure Wolf.

Canglang's expression changed, and his spiritual energy circulated within him, condensing into a giant wolf shadow to take the blow head-on.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar.

The wolf's body trembled violently, and it let out a muffled groan as it was blasted away by the immense force, crashing heavily to the ground.

Several cracks appeared on his chest armor, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

With just one strike, the Fiery Lion completely defeated the Azure Wolf.

"Big brother!"

Wen Kang's expression changed drastically.

"Awooo!"

The wild wolf roared, its body swelling to hundreds of feet in size, and it raised its giant claws to strike the blazing lion.

"You wolf cub, how dare you lay a hand on me, the Emperor?"

The Fiery Lion chuckled and spat out a ball of light, instantly blasting the Wild Wolf hundreds of meters away.

The wolf struggled a few times, but couldn't get up.

"Compared to your parents, you are pitifully weak."

In just a few breaths, the Azure Wolf and the Wild Wolf were completely defeated and had no fighting power left.

The Lion King's power is terrifying!

"Boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Then, the Fiery Lion turned its gaze to Fang Xuan, its surprise mixed with greed.

"The Heavenly Fire within you, I'm determined to possess it!"
