The First Venerable of All Paths

"Second stage of Body Refinement?"

Upon sensing the fluctuations in Fang Xuan's aura, Fang Ren and the others exclaimed in surprise.

It had only been about ten days since Fang Xuan broke through to the Body Refinement Realm.

A breakthrough in just a few days?

The group exchanged glances, all seeing a look of shock on each other's faces.

Not only the Fang family, but also the Su family, including Su Lie, looked on incredulously.

"What an terrifying cultivation speed."

Su Lie was startled.

Martial arts training is like rowing against the current.

Breaking through a realm is like ascending to heaven.

Even for those with exceptional talent, it can take three to four months to break through a minor realm.

But just a month ago, Fang Xuan was clearly a useless person with no cultivation.

Since his return, he has created one miracle after another.

Ascending to the top of Wulou, leaving a mark on the entire province.

Kill Su Chen, destroy the Blood Shark Gang.

Slay Fang Xiao, fight the Blood Fiend Gang.

Each and every one of these things is something that extraordinary people could do.

"As expected of someone with an innate Dao physique, truly terrifying."

Such people must be nipped in the bud before they grow up.

Otherwise, if left unchecked, it will become a major threat to the Su family.

A cold glint flashed in Su Lie's eyes. He concentrated his Yuan Power on his five fingers, creating afterimages that hurtled towards Fang Xuan.

He wanted to take this opportunity to cripple Fang Xuan.

"As expected of a Qi Condensation Realm expert, such speed!"

Seeing Su Lie's speed as fast as lightning, Fang Xuan was also startled.

Without time to think, Fang Xuan quickly circulated his Yuan Power, gathering it in his arms and holding them in front of his chest.

"Bang!"

A violent palm strike landed on his arm, the heavy force causing Fang Xuan to stagger backward.

Just half a step away from leaving the circle.

The Fang family members watching the game couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.

so close!

Before they could catch their breath, Su Lie launched an even more ferocious attack on Fang Xuan once again.

"Whoosh!"

The palm wind howled, and the Yuan energy surged.

Su Lie's hands, like afterimages, engulfed Fang Xuan.

This time, Fang Xuan felt even greater pressure.

This Su Lie truly lives up to his reputation as an elder of the Su family.

Even though his cultivation level was suppressed, his martial arts foundation was incredibly solid.

In addition, his rich combat experience far surpasses that of Fang Xuan at present.

Fang Xuan dared to challenge Su Lie not because of his mere Body Refinement Level 2 cultivation.

"Martial Arts Limits, now open!"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his hands quickly formed hand seals.

In an instant, the blood and qi in his body circulated wildly, forming a faint ring of blood-red mist on Fang Xuan's body surface.

These wisps of mist re-entered Fang Xuan's body at an extremely fast speed.

"Buzz!"

A powerful and domineering aura emanated from Fang Xuan.

"King's Fist Shakes the World!"

With his vital energy, blood, and killing intent all converging into his arm, Fang Xuan unleashed a punch.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, a violent aura swept out.

Then everyone was shocked to see that Su Lie, who had been so aggressive just moments before, was actually knocked back half a step by this punch.

Although it was only a short distance, it was still shocking enough.

After forcing Su Lie back, Fang Xuan continued to form hand seals.

Purple light swirled in his eyes, and a surge of chaotic power erupted from the Nine-Turn Golden Core, instantly spreading throughout his limbs and bones.

Chaotic Holy Body, activate!

"boom!"

In an instant, Fang Xuan's aura surged dramatically.

With the combined power of Martial Arts Extreme Realm and Chaos Saint Body, Fang Xuan's cultivation level was forcibly raised to the third level of Body Refinement Realm.

"A secret method to enhance cultivation?"

Su Lie's expression changed slightly, but he scoffed, "Unfortunately, you're still too weak!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed in Su Lie's eyes.

Several streams of azure Yuan energy, like whirlwinds, swirled rapidly across Su Lie's five fingers.

"Windbreaker Claw!"

Su Lie let out a cold shout and his hand slammed down towards Fang Xuan.

Wind-Breaking Claw, a second-grade martial art.

Its claws are incredibly swift and powerful, capable of tearing through a martial artist's protective aura.

With this move, Su Lie was 100% confident that he would defeat Fang Xuan.

"The Second Form of the Killing King Fist: Killing Might Shatters Mountains!"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his killing intent surged to its peak, all of which converged on the wind of his fist.

"Bang!"

Fists and claws collided, and violent force swept outwards from the two of them.

Those who were nearby, including Su Bao, were actually forced back several steps by this force.

After regaining their footing, everyone stared in horror at the center of the circle, their eyes wide.

because.

That last attack didn't result in a clear winner.

Fang Xuan and Su Lie each took a few steps back.

Fang Xuan's arm trembled, his internal energy and vitality were turbulent, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that he had suffered a minor injury.

"What domineering fist techniques!"

Feeling the excruciating pain in his arm, Su Lie's face also darkened.

That attack he just delivered would have severely injured anyone, even if they weren't dead, let alone Fang Xuan, who was at the third level of the Body Refinement Realm.

But Fang Xuan caught it.

Moreover, he only suffered minor injuries.

"That little beast, he really can't be allowed to live!"

Su Lie's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he released all the energy within his body.

"My final move will defeat you!"

Su Lie let out a low shout, his ten fingers curled into claws, and he once again used the Wind-Breaking Claw to attack Fang Xuan.

But this time, the offensive was far more intense and domineering than before.

The claw-like winds formed a vast expanse, roaring towards Fang Xuan like mountains and seas.

Each claw-like gust of wind is enough to tear apart a rock.

It's now!

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

The killing intent that had been building up inside him was all channeled into his fist.

In his mind, the image that appeared was the avatar of the Goddess of Slaughter that he had summoned on the top floor of the Martial Tower.

That punch was devastating.

That punch shattered countless worlds.

In an instant, the intent of the fist reached its peak.

"The Dao Falls, the Fist Ends!"

Fang Xuan let out a cold shout and unleashed all the power in his body with this punch.

"Snap!"

"Pfft!"

The sound of bones cracking rang out, Fang Xuan's arm bent, and he spat out blood.

Fang Xuan was struck dumb, his feet scraping the ground as he slid backward.

Su Lie was also suffering.

He was injured by Fang Xuan's murderous fist intent, and his internal energy was scattered and chaotic.

"Young Master!"

Just as Fang Xuan was about to leave the circle, Fang Ren and the others exclaimed in surprise.

At this critical moment, Fang Xuan suddenly pulled out the innate sword box from his back and slammed it heavily into the ground.

"Bang!"

The heavy sword sheath was deeply embedded in the ground.

Fang Xuan held the sword box with both hands to steady himself.

"How is that possible?"

When they saw that Fang Xuan's foot had already touched the edge of the circle, Su Bao and the others almost popped their eyes out.

Su Lie, of course, did not want to see this happen.

He stomped his foot hard on the ground and pounced on Fang Xuan like a falcon.

"You little bastard, you think this is over?"

Su Lie's eyes flashed with intense killing intent, and his cold, chilling voice reached Fang Xuan's ears.

"Even if it means going to war with the Fang family, I will cripple you today!"

Su Lie moved with incredible speed, appearing in front of Fang Xuan in an instant.

A palm strike brimming with Yuan energy slammed down on Fang Xuan's head.

Surprisingly, Su Lie did not suppress his cultivation level when he attacked.

This was clearly intended to take Fang Xuan's life.

"You old dog Su Lie, how dare you!"

Seeing Su Lie break the agreement and release his Condensation Realm cultivation, Fang Zhi and the others all changed their expressions drastically.

Zhan Yi and Zhan Er, without saying a word, increased their speed to the maximum to stop Su Lie.

Unfortunately, they were still too slow.

Su Lie's palm was now only an inch away from Fang Xuan.

At this critical moment, the sword bone at Fang Xuan's spine moved slightly.

A wisp of innate sword energy flowed from the sword bone to Fang Xuan's arm, and then poured into the sword box from his palm.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the entire Innate Sword Box began to tremble.

Inside the sword case, it was as if countless locusts were flapping their wings, and streams of sword intent surged out of the sword case like a tide.

The sharp sword intent swept across the entire arena.

In an instant, everyone present felt a bone-chilling cold.

"laugh!"

With a whooshing sound, these sword energies condensed into a single point, pointing directly at Su Lie in front of him.

"This is... sword energy?"

Su Lie's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was instantly filled with terror.

"You're a sword cultivator? No, it's that thing!"

Su Lie's gaze fell on the black door panel in front of Fang Xuan.

He didn't believe Fang Xuan was a sword cultivator.

But this iron box is definitely a martial arts treasure that stores sword energy.

Even so, he was not able to stop that sword energy.

In desperation, Su Lie had no choice but to abandon his attempt to kill Fang Xuan and quickly retreated.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

"laugh!"

The sword energy rushed straight towards Su Lie, as fast as lightning.

"not good!"

Upon seeing the sword energy lock onto him, Su Lie's expression changed again. He quickly circulated his Yuan Power to form a Yuan Power shield in front of him.

"Snap!"

However, this Yuan Qi shield was as fragile as tofu, shattering the moment it was touched by the sword energy.

"Pfft!"

The sword energy pierced through Su Lie's shoulder, leaving a trail of blood.

Su Lie let out a miserable scream as his body crashed heavily out of the circle.

For a moment, the entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

"How is that possible?"

Seeing Su Lie severely injured and coughing up blood, Su Bao and the others all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Su Lie, who was at the Condensation Realm, was actually defeated?

Moreover, he was defeated by an ant in the Body Refinement Realm.

The Fang family, however, erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Young Master is mighty!"

Fang Xuan won, but it was a hard-fought victory.

His injuries were even more severe than Su Lie's.

His arm was broken, and the energy within his body became violent.

Even the meridians were shattered.

It's impossible to fix in just a few days.

Fang Xuan, supporting himself on the sword case, slowly stood up.

"Su Lie, you have lost."

Fang Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "A bet is a bet. This market town is back to the Fang family!"

After saying that, Fang Xuan slung the sword box over his shoulder, turned around, and walked out of the circle.

"You little bastard, so what if you win?"

Su Lie's face twisted in pain, and he said in a chilling tone, "Even if I kill you, you'll still get nothing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Lie, despite his severe injuries, threw a punch at Fang Xuan.

Even when severely injured, a Qi Condensation Realm expert can still unleash tremendous power.

"You old dog Su Lie, how dare you!"

The Fang family members' expressions all changed drastically.

Fang Xuan also felt the strong wind coming from behind, his expression changed, and he was about to release the myriad sword intents in the sword box again to kill Su Lie.

But at that moment, a furious shout suddenly rang out.

A figure suddenly rushed over with lightning speed, knocking Su Lie back.

"A powerful expert at the Qi Condensation Realm dares to launch a sneak attack."

The visitor was none other than Fang Shanhe, the second elder of the Fang family.

"Su Lie, you really have no shame."
