The First Venerable of All Paths

"Bloodthirsty Fist!"

Bai Xuan's attack was swift and fierce, arriving in the blink of an eye. Even the surrounding void was shaken violently, as if it might collapse at any moment.

"Fang Xuan, get out of the way!"

Seeing that Bai Xuan's attack was too domineering and terrifying, Cang Lang and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly cried out in alarm.

Li Guanlan, too, clasped her hands tightly, her brows furrowed with tension and worry.

Black soul power emerged from his palm, ready to summon the Devouring Soul Jar to protect Fang Xuan.

However, Fang Xuan stood motionless in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, Bai Xuan's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Is this a case of knowing they are doomed and therefore resigning themselves to death?"

Bai Xuan said sternly, "Then I'll send you to hell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xuan's fist energy intensified by three times, and its speed doubled.

Just as Bai Xuan's attack was about to touch his chest, the golden patterns all over Fang Xuan's body suddenly began to circulate.

"Chaos Golden Bell, solidify!"

In an instant, a golden bell covered with mysterious divine patterns took shape, protecting Fang Xuan within it.

"Thump!"

As soon as the golden bell appeared, Bai Xuan's attack slammed into it, producing a loud clang of metal striking metal.

The violent ripples of power swept outwards in all directions, shattering the nebula and causing the spiritual energy to surge.

Bai Xuan was directly blasted back by this force, his face filled with horror.

As for Fang Xuan, he remained completely still, not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled.

"How is that possible?"

Bai Xuan angrily retorted, "Your defense is so strong! This is simply unreasonable!"

"Bai Xuan, is this your true strength?"

Fang Xuan said calmly, "It seems it really isn't that great."

With his current strength, the Chaos Golden Bell he condenses for defense is several times more powerful than before.

Even a body-refining expert at the ninth level of the Divine Intent Realm could not budge it in the slightest.

This is precisely the power of the Chaos Holy Body.

The higher Fang Xuan's cultivation level, the more Chaos Golden Patterns he will develop, the more his Chaos Sacred Body's potential will be unleashed, and Fang Xuan's strength will be comprehensively enhanced.

His Chaotic Saint Body is now infinitely close to the third level. He only needs to condense two more Chaotic Golden Patterns to break through.

At that time, he will not need to rely on any other power; he will be able to traverse the realm of divine intent with just his physical body.

He could easily crush even ordinary experts at the fifth or sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm.

However, these last two chaotic golden patterns are not so easy to condense; the required blood, energy, resources, and time are all extremely terrifying.

"Fang Xuan, you brat, you're far too arrogant!"

Bai Xuan's face contorted in pain, and he shouted hoarsely, "Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"You talk too much nonsense."

Fang Xuan formed hand seals, and two flying swords whistled in again, one transforming into a divine bird and the other into a green lotus, flanking Bai Xuan from both sides.

The sword moved with lightning speed.

The sword's aura was fierce, bloodthirsty, and deadly.

Bai Xuan was indeed a physical cultivator with great strength and defense, but under the continuous attacks of the two natal flying swords, he dared not take them head-on and could only defend and dodge.

Even so, Bai Xuan still had many more wounds on his body, and his aura continued to weaken.

Fang Xuan's two natal flying swords inherently possess the power of heavenly fire.

Not only has it been nurtured in the innate sword box at all times, but it has also been polished for a long time by the whetstone obtained from that Yan Gongshen. Its sharpness and demeanor are already extraordinary.

Breaking through Bai Xuan's defenses was not difficult at all.

Seeing that he couldn't shake off the flying sword's entanglement, Bai Xuan became increasingly anxious.

No matter how strong he is, he can't withstand such a drain.

Furthermore, Fang Xuan never directly confronted him, rendering Bai Xuan's many techniques useless.

"You damned little bastard, even if it costs me my life, I'll tear you to pieces!"

Bai Xuan glared fiercely at Fang Xuan, then his blood and qi surged, forming a powerful aura of bloodlust around him.

"Bloodlust Protection!"

This blood-red protective shield was thick and sturdy, blocking all attacks from the Phoenix Cry Sword and the Azure Lotus Sword.

Bai Xuan, on the other hand, withstood the flying sword attacks and quickly approached Fang Xuan.

"I refuse to believe I can't smash your turtle shell!"

Bai Xuan roared and slammed his fists into the Chaos Golden Bell.

"Knock knock knock!"

With each punch Bai Xuan landed, the Chaos Golden Bell roared deafeningly, yet it remained incredibly sturdy, showing no signs of breaking.

In contrast, Bai Xuan.

Not only did he have to withstand the attacks from the flying swords, but he also had to endure the backlash from the Chaos Golden Bell. This series of attacks left him quite exhausted.

"Damn it, what the hell is this thing?!"

Bai Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his overwhelming anger was almost overwhelming his reason.

"Have you had enough?"

Fang Xuan crossed his arms and said indifferently, "Then it's my turn!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan raised his hand and threw a punch.

"King's Fist Shakes the World!"

Fang Xuan did not use any spiritual power in this punch; it was purely physical strength.

Sensing the power of Fang Xuan's punch, Bai Xuan crossed his arms and held them in front of his chest.

"Bang!"

The killing fist struck down heavily, its violent and domineering power directly blasting Bai Xuan back, even causing his protective aura to become shaky.

"One sword pierces the peak!"

"Spiritual Fire Pierces the Sky!"

At the same time, Fang Xuan activated his flying sword, carrying overwhelming killing intent, and instantly attacked.

"Pfft!"

Two flying swords broke through Bai Xuan's defenses one after the other, leaving hideous wounds on his body.

"Ugh!"

The excruciating pain contorted Bai Xuan's face, causing him to let out a piercing scream.

"Fang Xuan, I..."

Before Bai Xuan could finish speaking, Fang Xuan threw another punch.

"Slaying with overwhelming force, shattering mountains!"

This punch was more ferocious and domineering than the previous one, with the momentum to kill Bai Xuan with a single blow.

Bai Xuan's expression changed, and he was about to dodge when two flying swords attacked again.

"You despicable bastard!"

Bai Xuan was so angry he almost vomited blood.

Fang Xuan relied on his invincible defense to launch a frontal attack, while simultaneously manipulating two flying swords to seek opportunities for sneak attacks.

If one's physical body were not strong enough, no one else could withstand such an attack.

"Bai Xuan, is all you can do is rage impotently?"

Fang Xuan unleashed a powerful punch, causing Bai Xuan's blood and qi to churn, blood to spill from the corner of his mouth, and two more sword wounds to appear on his body.

"If that's the case, you can go die!"

Fang Xuan took a deep breath, and streams of killing energy instantly gathered on his fist.

Because this punch was so powerful, ripples gradually spread around Fang Xuan's body.

In the shadows, a majestic and imposing female figure materialized behind Fang Xuan.

"The true meaning of martial arts, the absolute power of Dao Yun Fist!"

Fang Xuan struggled to raise his arm and threw a punch.

Bai Xuan's expression was solemn.

At this moment, his escape route was blocked by two flying swords, and Fang Xuan's attack locked him firmly in place.

With nowhere to retreat, Bai Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with madness.

"You little bastard, you think you can kill me? Dream on!"

Bai Xuan's body sank, and a large amount of Yin Sha Qi and blood surged out of his body.

"Bloodthirsty Fiend, unparalleled skill, only my true mastery!"

Bai Xuan suddenly formed a hand seal, and a massive figure shrouded in Yin Sha Qi and exuding overwhelming evil aura emerged from behind him.

The figure was also wrapped in chains engraved with complex runes, making it look extremely eerie.

"With the protection of the Demon King, slaughter will annihilate heaven and earth!"

Bai Xuan and Yin Sha merged into one, their auras surging instantly, and Bai Xuan unleashed a punch at Fang Xuan.

"Knock knock knock!"

When their fists collided, Fang Xuan's martial arts essence shattered before it could even last a moment.

Then the Chaos Golden Bell shattered under Bai Xuan's domineering fist energy.

Fang Xuan was struck as if by lightning, flying backward rapidly and spitting out blood.

Bai Xuan took another step forward and punched Fang Xuan in the head.

Fang Xuan hurriedly used his sword to defend, but before he could get close, he was blasted away by the murderous aura surrounding Bai Xuan.

"You little bastard, die!"

Unleashing his absolute power, Bai Xuan's killing intent reached its peak, and he unleashed a punch without any mercy.

"Buzz!"

Just as Bai Xuan's attack was about to land on Fang Xuan, a divine soul barrier suddenly descended, trapping Bai Xuan.

Li Guanlan made his move.

However, this divine soul barrier couldn't even last a moment before it tore apart on the spot.

"snort!"

Li Guanlan's pretty face changed, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.

"Don't waste your energy."

Bai Xuan burst into wild laughter: "The Fiend King state is the most powerful state of the Blood Fiend True Art. I am impervious to all magic. Who can stop me?"

"Fang Xuan, I want your inheritance!"

Bai Xuan twisted his body, his fist energy unstoppable, carrying unparalleled killing intent, and slammed into Fang Xuan's head.

"puff!"

With that punch, Fang Xuan vanished into nothingness on the spot.

"No!"

Yu Mian covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, her face full of disbelief.

Canglang and the others all narrowed their eyes, their faces showing fear.

Fang Xuan, is he dead?

Zhongye, who was drinking tea and humming a tune, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes seemed to hold a galaxy of stars, as if the world were turning upside down.

But in an instant, his eyes became cloudy again, and he looked confused and bewildered.

"Hahaha, that little bastard is really dead!"

Shangguan Yun was extremely excited, his cold gaze sweeping over Fei Ying and the others.

"Grey Wolf, Flying Eagle, you've lost."

Shangguan Yun's face was filled with murderous intent: "This is the consequence of opposing my Sunset Alliance. Today, none of you will escape!"

Upon hearing this, Flying Eagle and the others all wore expressions of despair.

With Fang Xuan dead, facing the invincible Bai Xuan, even escape was a pipe dream for them.

"You're asking for it!"

Witnessing Fang Xuan's "fall," Li Guanlan's eyes suddenly turned dark and deep.

Black light gathered in his palm, transforming into a towering demon jar, which he smashed fiercely towards Bai Xuan.

The Soul-Devouring Jar!

"All souls unite as one, forever condemned to Abyss, suppress!"

Hundreds and thousands of figures, as if emerging from the deepest hell, swarmed towards Bai Xuan, as if trying to drag him into the deepest hell.

"Trying to teach a fish to swim!"

Bai Xuan sneered, his body swirling with murderous energy, and he unleashed a punch.

The surging soul power was shattered, but the malevolent fist energy did not diminish in the slightest, and heavily struck the soul jar.

"when!"

A deafening roar, like the sound of a great bell, rang out, and the Devouring Soul Jar was blasted away.

Li Guanlan trembled violently, blood spurted from his mouth, and his breath grew weaker.

"You little bitch, you want to avenge that bastard, don't you?"

Bai Xuan looked at Li Guanlan and said sternly, "Then you can go to the underworld and keep him company!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xuan appeared in front of Li Guanlan as if he had teleported, and struck down with his palm.

Cloud-Dispelling Palm!

But this time, the Cloud-Dispelling Palm contained a violent and malevolent aura, making it incredibly powerful.

Li Guanlan formed hand seals, releasing his soul power, which transformed into a giant soul power hand that fiercely met the attack.

"Bang!"

With a clash of their palms, the giant hand of the Soul Path split open on the spot.

Li Guanlan coughed up another mouthful of blood, his breathing becoming extremely disordered.

"die!"

Bai Xuan appeared in front of Li Guanlan in a bizarre manner and punched Li Guanlan in the face.

"when!"

At this critical moment, a golden bell suddenly enveloped Li Guanlan, blocking Bai Xuan's sure-kill attack.

"This is......"

Gazing at the familiar golden bell, Bai Xuan's pupils constricted, and he abruptly looked up, exclaiming, "Fang Xuan, you're still alive?!"

High in the sky, Fang Xuan held swords in both hands, his white robes fluttering, and a chilling sword aura filled the heavens.

"You dare to kill me?"

Fang Xuan murmured to himself, and with two long swords in his hands, he suddenly slashed at Bai Xuan.

"One sword pierces the peak!"

"One sword can cleave the river!"
