The First Venerable of All Paths

"You got it right."

Su Mian said, "Li Tianjiao, if you leave immediately with your men and give up the fight for the secret realm, I can overlook what happened before. Otherwise, none of you will leave."

"Do you really think I'm someone who can be easily scared?"

Li Tianjiao snorted coldly and said, "Even if you use teleportation talismans, I doubt you can bring back many people, right?"

"Boom!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar resounded throughout the entire secret realm.

A crack suddenly appeared in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen figures emerged from the gap.

These people all possessed a powerful aura, and their bodies were surrounded by a dense, murderous aura.

Especially the middle-aged man in the lead.

Despite his small stature, his aura was the strongest among them.

"Qi Gathering Realm?"

Fang Danian exclaimed, "How is that possible? Wasn't it said that Qi Gathering Realm martial artists couldn't enter this secret realm?"

"Concealing Breath Talisman"

Fang Xuan said, "And it's not just any ordinary concealment talisman, otherwise it wouldn't be able to bypass the rules of the secret realm."

"You have a good eye, kid."

The middle-aged man at the Qi Gathering Realm grinned and said, "This high-level concealment talisman cost me a fortune in spirit stones."

"Deputy Commander Zhou, don't worry."

Su Mian said, "As long as you kill Fang Xuan, this loss can be made up for at any time."

"That's true."

Zhou Xu'an looked at Fang Xuan and said, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning, even though your strength isn't that great. You even managed to kill that idiot Meng Hu."

"Are you from the Beasts Order?"

Fang Xuan frowned, his expression turning serious.

"Otherwise what?"

Zhou Xu'an sneered, "You don't actually think you can get away with messing with people from my Hundred Beasts Gang, do you?"

"Young Master, what should we do?"

Fang Danian said in a deep voice, "They outnumber us and have the upper hand. We're probably doomed today."

The Hundred Beasts Guild dispatched more than a dozen elite soldiers, along with a Qi Gathering Realm expert.

With the addition of the Su family members, even with the help of the Li family, their situation was still extremely difficult.

Li Tianjiao said, "Su Mian, you dare to join forces with other forces and meddle in the secret realm? You really have no shame!"

"Little girl, you can't just say things like that."

Zhou Xu'an said, "We have no interest in this secret realm; we're just here to avenge the brothers of my Hundred Beasts Gang who died."

"Brothers, let's do it!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Xu'an sent more than a dozen elite members of the Hundred Beasts Gang rushing towards Fang Xuan and his group.

"Protect the young master!"

Fang Danian roared and, with a surge of Yuan energy, sent a nearby warrior from the Hundred Beasts Clan flying.

But then, several warriors from the Hundred Beasts Gang pounced on Fang Danian like tigers, forcing him to retreat in defeat.

"Pfft!"

Fang Danian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath immediately plummeted to rock bottom.

"Young Master, run!"

Fang Wen and the others were in a similar situation, and under the siege of the Hundred Beasts Gang warriors, they had basically no power to fight back.

"If we're going to leave, we'll leave together."

Seeing that Fang Danian and the others had all suffered heavy injuries, Fang Xuan's eyes grew even colder.

"Our family has no rule against abandoning our own siblings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold glint suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Sword intent is released from within the sword's bones.

The Blue Water Sword was radiating sword energy.

Fang Xuan used the Dragon Fish Body Technique, his sword moving with him.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Each flash of sword light claimed the life of a warrior from the Hundred Beasts Clan.

Although he did not develop his own natal flying sword, Fang Xuan's combat power increased several times compared to usual when he held the sword.

In just a few breaths, he had killed four warriors from the Hundred Beasts Gang.

"How could he be so strong?"

Looking at Fang Xuan, who was wreaking havoc on the battlefield, Su Yang could hardly believe his eyes.

"Hmph, it's just using a secret technique to hold on."

Su Mian's eyes darkened, and she said in a low voice, "Didn't you notice that his aura is constantly weakening?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yang began to observe carefully.

"That's really true!"

Su Yang said, "I remember now, he did use some kind of secret technique to forcibly increase his cultivation level, and now it seems he's reached his limit!"

"Fang Xuan, you're dead today!"

Su Yang's face twisted in a grimace as he said, "After you die, I will torture your entire Fang family to death, one by one!"

"A bunch of idiots!"

Seeing Fang Xuan kill several of his subordinates, Zhou Xu'an coldly shouted, "Forget about those good-for-nothings, kill that brat surnamed Fang first!"

Upon hearing this, the warriors of the Hundred Beasts Gang who were besieging Fang Danian and the others all turned around and charged towards Fang Xuan.

There were twelve martial artists in total.

Two of them also possessed the cultivation level of the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm.

"Brother Fang Xuan, let me help you!"

Seeing Fang Xuan surrounded and attacked, Li Tianjiao jumped down from the tree, ready to help Fang Xuan.

"Li Tianjiao, I advise you not to act rashly."

Su Mian flashed and blocked Li Tianjiao's path, her tone cold.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind leaving you here as well."

"Get out of here!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Tianjiao unleashed her Yuan Power from her jade-like hand and struck out with a palm towards Su Mian.

"Overestimating yourself!"

Su Mian snorted coldly and also struck Li Tianjiao with a palm.

"Bang!"

The two palms collided, and a powerful surge of energy spread outwards.

Both of them took several steps back.

"How is that possible?"

Su Mian exclaimed in surprise, "I am at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm, how could you withstand my attack?"

"Is it possible that you're just too useless?"

Li Tianjiao sneered and charged at Fang Xuan again.

"What arrogance!"

Su Mian said sternly, "I'd like to see just how capable you are!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mian circulated her inner energy, a faint cold light emanating from her palm, and pounced towards Li Tianjiao once again.

Li Tianjiao was not afraid at all. He nimbly dodged Su Mian's attack.

Both of them were among the best in their field, both in terms of movement and martial arts skills, and it was difficult to determine a winner even after several exchanges.

It will be difficult for Su Mian to defeat Li Tianjiao, but it will be equally difficult for Li Tianjiao to get rid of Su Mian's entanglement.

"Li Feng, you guys go help Fang Xuan!"

After knocking Su Mian back with a single palm strike, Li Tianjiao turned to look at the several Li family martial artists.

Su Mian also spoke up, "Su Yang, take some men and stop them!"

"rest assured!"

Su Yang sneered, "Even if the King of Heaven himself came today, he couldn't save that piece of trash Fang Xuan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he led his men to intercept the Li family.

The battle quickly descended into chaos.

At this moment, Fang Xuan was clearly outmatched by the combined attacks of two martial artists at the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm, and was struggling to cope.

His very breath also gradually weakened.

The duration of the Blood Burning Technique has expired!

"No!"

Fang Xuan fought and retreated simultaneously, his mind racing.

"We must find a way to break this deadlock, otherwise, we might really perish here today!"

Fang Xuan glanced around, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and soon he had an idea.

"Kid, can't hold on any longer, huh?"

One of the Beastmasters, after knocking Fang Xuan back with a single punch, roared with laughter, "Then die!"

After saying that, he charged towards Fang Xuan like a tiger released from its cage, striking Fang Xuan's chest with a palm.

Meanwhile, another martial artist at the ninth level of the Body Refinement Realm swung his long sword directly at Fang Xuan's head.

The two men attacked swiftly and fiercely, giving Fang Xuan no chance to survive.

In the face of life-or-death crisis, a purple light flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes.

The Chaos Holy Body is activated.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir was operating wildly.

The sword bones trembled and released sharp sword energy.

Sword energy gathered on the Blue Water Sword, and Fang Xuan slashed it directly at the warrior wielding the sword.

"Snap!"

Swords clashed.

The longsword in the hands of the Beastmen warriors instantly broke.

However, the terrifying force sent Fang Xuan flying, while simultaneously avoiding an attack from another martial artist.

"puff!"

Fang Xuan crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face growing even paler.

"That little bastard is really like an unkillable cockroach!"

The swordsman threw away the hilt of his sword and strode toward Fang Xuan.

"But unfortunately, you're destined to die by my hand!"

He raised his foot and stomped on Fang Xuan's head.

"Be careful!"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang in his ears.

At the same time, a strong gust of wind came whistling from the side.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a black door panel rapidly magnifying in his eyes.

"not good!"

He tried to escape, but it was too late.

"Bang!"

The incredibly heavy innate sword box crashed down on this person like a mountain.

With a scream, the man was thrown into the air, spitting out blood.

What made him even more desperate was...

Before he could regain his footing, Fang Xuan, who was clearly seriously injured, struggled to his feet, grabbed the sword box with both hands, and brought it down directly on his head.

"Pfft!"

The sword case slammed solidly into the man's chest, and a mouthful of blood mixed with bits of internal organs and flesh spurted out. This elite warrior of the Hundred Beasts Guild was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, flying more than ten meters before losing his breath on the spot.

As for Fang Xuan, he plunged into the dense forest and fled into the distance without looking back.

"Su Mian, I'll remember this debt!"

Fang Xuan's chilling voice came from the dense forest, filled with extreme killing intent.

"Tianjiao, please take good care of them for me!"

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xuan had vanished without a trace.

"this......"

This scene stunned everyone.

Fang Xuan not only killed several Body Refinement Realm martial artists, but also crushed a Body Refinement Realm ninth level expert to death.

What kind of monster is this guy?

"Damn it, a bunch of useless trash!"

Zhou Xu'an's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, and he roared angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase after them!"

Nearly half of his men were killed by Fang Xuan alone.

Such a huge loss is something even the Beasts Guild cannot afford.

"Let's give chase! We absolutely cannot let Fang Xuan leave the secret realm alive!"

Instead of continuing to entangle with Li Tianjiao, Su Mian led the Su family and chased after Fang Xuan in the direction he had fled.

"Miss, should we go help?"

The Li family surrounded Li Tianjiao, seeking her opinion.

"No need."

Li Tianjiao said, "Since he chose to escape, he must have had a plan."

She glanced at Fang Danian and the others, who were seriously injured and unconscious, and said, "Let's take them away first."

In the dense forest.

Fang Xuan ran wildly, glancing at Zhou Xu'an and the others chasing behind him from time to time, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Want to kill me? Let's see who's tougher!"
