The First Venerable of All Paths

A strong wind blew in her face, but Su Mian remained surprisingly calm.

As the wolf claw drew ever closer, Su Mian said calmly, "Fang Xuan, I admit, everyone underestimated you. I never expected you would obtain the core of the secret realm."

"Even so, if you want to kill me, you're just dreaming."

As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely violent aura erupted from Su Mian's body.

Su Mian's cultivation level actually broke through to the Qi Gathering Realm in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

Su Mian's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

"Boom!"

The wolf's claws missed their mark, shattering the ground.

Su Mian appeared a few meters away, a faint smile on her face.

"If it weren't for this secret realm, I would have already broken through to the Qi Gathering Realm, so why would I need to suppress my cultivation?"

Su Mian laughed loudly, "Don't think I'm that good-for-nothing Zhou Xu'an. Even if you control the secret realm, you can't kill me!"

After saying that, Su Mian casually tossed out several talismans.

"Boom!"

The talisman exploded, transforming into several streams of power that engulfed Fang Xuan and the giant wolf.

He himself, without hesitation, used his movement technique to escape quickly.

He believed that Fang Xuan could not kill him, but he was no match for Fang Xuan either.

After gaining control of the secret realm, one can mobilize its power to a certain extent.

Unless a powerful expert at the Divine Realm arrives in person, Fang Xuan is invincible in this secret realm.

"call!"

The violent power dissipated like the wind, revealing Fang Xuan and the giant wolf.

He stared in the direction where Su Mian had disappeared, his sarcasm growing even stronger.

"If you think the power of the Lord of the Secret Realm is limited to this, then you are really overestimating yourself."

Next, Fang Xuan formed a hand seal.

The Seal of Life and Death Circulates.

The giant wolf howled to the sky.

The wind howled and lightning flashed.

The giant tree was blown down by the gale, and electric snakes coalesced into a ball.

Finally, it transformed into a thunderous wolf claw, covering half the sky.

"go!"

At a command, the Thunder Wolf Claw slammed down, striking at Su Mian who was running at top speed.

Su Mian felt as if the space around him was imprisoned, and no matter how he struggled, he could not break free from its control.

A look of terror flashed in Su Mian's eyes, then a ruthless expression appeared on her face.

He quickly took out a jade talisman, bit his tongue, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, staining the jade talisman red.

As he threw the jade talisman out, a powerful and majestic force swept out from it.

A cyan hand emerged from the exploded jade talisman and slammed down hard on the wolf claw in mid-air.

"Boom!"

The cyan palm and the thunder wolf claw collided, and the immense power swept in all directions like a hurricane.

The powerful shockwave sent Fang Xuan and the giant wolf flying.

Within a radius of 100 meters, flowers, grass, and trees were completely destroyed.

The ground looked as if a layer had been scraped away, revealing a clean and flat surface.

When everything had cleared up, Fang Xuan frowned slightly.

"This is... the spiritual imprint of a Divine Realm expert?"

A powerful expert at the Divine Intent Realm can seal one of their attacks within a jade talisman.

At crucial moments, when activated by essence and blood, it can unleash tremendous power.

It is equivalent to a full-force attack from a master of the Divine Realm.

However, this method requires a large amount of divine soul power to be consumed by the expert at the Divine Intent Realm.

But it must be said that this spiritual imprint was able to turn the tide of the battle.

"How is it? Not a pleasant experience, is it?"

Su Mian wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and sneered, "This spiritual imprint can temporarily prevent you from using the power of the secret realm. And you, at best, are only at the Body Refinement Realm. Killing you would be as easy as turning my hand!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Mian pounced on Fang Xuan like a ferocious beast.

With a flick of his palm, Yuan energy gathered and slammed down on Fang Xuan's head.

Fang Xuan tried to control the giant wolf and found that it was indeed as Su Mian had said.

The giant wolf was sealed by a hidden power and was temporarily unable to activate the power of the secret realm.

Although the seal will be broken soon, it will be enough for Su Mian to kill him several times over.

Without time to think, Fang Xuan quickly retreated, avoiding Su Mian's palm strike.

Su Mian knew that she didn't have much time left. Her first attack missed, and the next attack followed immediately, even more ferocious than the first.

"King's Fist Shakes the World!"

Fang Xuan's eyes turned cold. Instead of continuing to dodge, he threw a punch.

The killing intent gathered on the fist wind, colliding with Su Mian's attack.

"Bang!"

Their fists and palms clashed, and the two men retreated.

But Su Mian only took one step back before regaining her balance.

In contrast, Fang Xuan took four or five steps back.

Sit down!

"Without the power of the secret realm, you're like a tiger without claws, utterly vulnerable!"

Su Mian smiled coldly and threw another punch at Fang Xuan.

"Yeah?"

Fang Xuan grinned as well, forming a hand seal.

Qi and blood, ignite!

"Boom!"

In an instant, Fang Xuan's cultivation level broke through three minor realms from the third level of the Body Refinement Realm to the sixth level of the Body Refinement Realm.

"Slaying with overwhelming force, shattering mountains!"

The second move of the Killing King Fist was released by Fang Xuanquan Fengjian.

The domineering and fierce killing power was unleashed at this moment.

"Pfft!"

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

Su Mian was also in bad shape, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth as she quickly retreated.

"What a powerful and domineering fist technique!"

Feeling the sharp pain in her arm, Su Mian looked horrified.

He thought he could easily kill Fang Xuan, but he didn't expect that the strength Fang Xuan displayed was far greater than he had imagined.

"No wonder you were able to kill Su Chongshan, you are indeed quite capable."

Su Mian circulated her Yuan Power to suppress the injuries within her body.

"But today, you are destined to die by my hand!"

Having said that, Su Mian was about to launch another attack.

However, Fang Xuan had already taken the lead and charged towards him like a wild beast.

"What an overconfident fool!"

Su Mian sneered, "Die!"

Su Mian's hands moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, creating a series of afterimages that were dazzling and impossible to catch.

Fang Xuan recognized it at a glance: it was the Su family's martial art, the Phantom Hand.

Second-grade martial arts.

When cultivated to its peak, one can instantly unleash dozens of palm prints, each possessing genuine killing power.

Although Su Mian failed to cultivate this martial art to its highest level, at least one-third of the afterimages it created could kill him.

"A fatal blow?"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and killing intent surged within his chest.

In his mind, the scene of him comprehending the Killing King Fist on the top floor of the Martial Tower appeared.

"King of Slaughter Fist, proving the Dao through slaughter."

Fang Xuan slowly raised his arm, clenching his five fingers into a fist.

The killing intent followed his heart.

In an instant, everything in the secret realm moved without wind.

Countless blood beasts lay dormant on the ground, trembling in fear.

"The Dao Falls, the Fist Ends!"

The next moment, Fang Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and his blood, energy, killing intent, and even his mental will were all poured into this punch.

Indistinctly.

A figure appeared behind Fang Xuan.

Although blurry, it exudes an aura of terrifying power capable of destroying the heavens and suppressing all realms.

The God of Slaughter has descended!

"break!"

Fang Xuan let out a cold shout and threw a punch.

The blurry figure behind him also raised his hand and threw a punch.

This moment.

The world lost its color, and the sky collapsed.

The entire secret realm was shrouded in a terrifying killing intent that dominated the world.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

All of Su Mian's palm prints were shattered.

But the killing fist that stretched across the heavens and earth did not disappear. Instead, it smashed down on him with overwhelming force and momentum.

In an instant, everything within a radius of 100 meters was reduced to decay.

Life has vanished.

"Snap!"

Su Mian was the first to be hit, and her arm exploded on the spot.

He was struck as if by lightning, flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, sliding backward a distance before slamming into a boulder with a loud thud.

"Wow!"

Su Mian spat out another mouthful of blood, her face turning deathly pale, and her breath plummeted to rock bottom.

"How...is this possible?"

Su Mian stared blankly at the white-clad youth in the distance, her consciousness heavy, slowly sinking into darkness.

At that crucial moment, he clearly saw the figure that appeared behind Fang Xuan.

majesty.

overbearing.

Supreme.

An existence that should not exist in this world.

God!

This adjective came to mind for Su Mian.

Only gods possess such terrifying power.

"Ahem!"

Fang Xuan, who had unleashed the ultimate power of the Killing King Fist, also experienced a blackout.

With its Qi Sea depleted, even the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir appeared somewhat lackluster.

He bit his tongue hard, forcing himself to stay awake.

With difficulty, he picked up the sword box and walked step by step toward Su Mian.

"clatter!"

"clatter!"

"clatter!"

The weak footsteps, however, sounded like thunderclaps in Su Mian's ears.

Su Mian's pupils contracted, and she exclaimed, "Fang Xuan, what... what are you going to do?"

He wanted to escape, but he couldn't even move his fingers.

"Of course, I'll kill you!"

Fang Xuan stood in front of Su Mian, breathing heavily.

The short distance seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

He strained to lift the sword case, his hands and feet trembling, his body swaying precariously.

But the murderous intent in his eyes not only did not diminish in the slightest, but instead became even stronger and more intense.

"The Su family betrayed me, you plotted against me, Su Qingyao ruined me—these debts must be repaid!"

Fang Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was contorted with rage.

"You, Su Mian, deserve to die!"

Fang Xuan roared and used all his strength to swing the sword box at Su Mian.

"No!"

"puff!"

The sword case fell, smashing Su Mian's chest into a bloody pulp.

"you......."

Su Mian slumped to the ground like a rag doll, her eyes fixed on Fang Xuan.

Before she could finish speaking, Su Mian's head lolled to the side, and she stopped breathing completely.

"Clang!"

Fang Xuan had also exhausted all his strength. The sword box fell to the ground, and he collapsed, breathing heavily.

"Hehe, hahahaha!"

Suddenly, Fang Xuan burst into maniacal laughter, as if he had lost his mind.

He laughed until his voice was hoarse, he laughed until tears streamed down his face, he laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

After years of pent-up frustration, Fang Xuan finally released some of it and felt completely relieved.

"Boom!"

At that very moment, the sky above was filled with swirling clouds and wind.

At the top of the sky, a vortex broke open on its own.

A giant cyan hand emerged from the vortex and pressed down hard on Fang Xuan.

"That scoundrel Fang Xuan shall be buried with my son!"

An angry roar echoed throughout the entire secret realm.

It was Su Chongming's voice.

Upon learning of Su Mian's death, he was even willing to take action to kill Fang Xuan.

"Su Chongming, do you take me for a dead man?"

Immediately afterwards, Fang Shanhai's voice rang out.

A wrinkled finger emerged from the other side of the sky and stabbed towards the blue hand.

"roll!"

Su Chongming gave a cold shout, swung his hand to smash his fingers, and continued to press down on Fang Xuan.

"In the battle for the secret realm, life and death are determined by fate."

Just as the palm enveloped Fang Xuan, another aged voice rang out.

"Su Chongming, do you intend to break your oath?"

Upon hearing this, the cyan hand paused in mid-air, then changed direction, grabbed a figure from the secret realm, and quickly left.

"Fang Xuan, I, Su, will remember the hatred for killing your son!"
