The First Venerable of All Paths

"Damn it, the Fang family is a tough nut to crack; we still can't get them down after all this time!"

Seeing that his attacks were blocked by the Fang family several times, Huang Long's face grew increasingly gloomy.

In just a short while, the Hundred Beasts Gang and the Blood Fiend Gang had suffered countless casualties.

However, the Fang family's losses were so small as to be negligible.

"Master Chu, could you please set up a killing formation to wipe out this damned family?"

Huang Long looked at Master Chu, his voice somewhat frantic.

"That might be a bit difficult."

Master Chu shook his head and said, "However, I can set up an array to boost our morale."

"There are also formations to boost morale?"

Huang Long was somewhat surprised.

"That's natural."

Master Chu said, "The art of formations is vast and profound. Some special formations can boost the morale of one's own side and are top-notch battlefield formations."

"good!"

Huang Long's spirits lifted, and he said, "I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Let's set up the formation quickly; any further delay will result in huge losses for us."

The battle has continued until now, and the Hundred Beasts Gang has lost nearly thirty warriors.

These are all the elites of his Beast Corps.

The loss of even one child would break his heart.

"Leave it to me."

As Master Chu spoke, he waved his hand and tossed out several array flags.

Immediately afterwards, he solemnly took out two jade talismans.

The jade talisman was entirely crimson, its surface covered with intricate, mysterious array patterns.

These are array symbols, each containing a sealed array, representing yin and yang respectively, and are quite valuable.

Master Chu was also heartbroken, but he knew that this was not the time to save money.

As long as the Fang family can be dealt with, these losses are nothing.

The battle flag landed precisely in eight directions, faintly forming a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation.

The blood-red patterns on the flag flowed, and faint sounds of battle cries could be heard.

"Soul-Shaking Battle Formation, Activate!"

Master Chu's eyes gleamed, and he frantically poured his inner energy into the array.

"The flag commands all directions, the spirit guides the battle spirit."

Overcome fatigue and fear, keep fighting spirit alive!

The array ignites the spirit, the array locks the eight extremes.

"Gather your strength and fight to the death!"

Master Chu hurled two array talismans into the center of the array, and his Yuan energy surged in. The jade talismans shattered instantly, transforming into a sky full of crimson divine soul mist, which merged into the eight battle flags.

In an instant, a series of deep war drums and horns sounded out of nowhere, and powerful energy was released from the formation, flowing into the bodies of the warriors of the Blood Fiend Gang and the Hundred Beasts Group.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the martial artists, who had been somewhat listless, became energetic and full of fighting spirit.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The martial artist, empowered by the formation, had bloodshot eyes and charged towards the Fang family members like a fearless warrior on the battlefield.

"What's going on? Why have their strength increased so much?"

The Fang family members' expressions changed drastically, and they fought while retreating.

"Don't panic!"

At this moment, Fang Shanhe stepped forward from the crowd, carrying a Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, his aura surging wildly.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

With a sweeping motion, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade cleaved three enemies in half at the waist.

This scene startled the enemies, who took several steps back.

Fang Shanhe slammed his weapon heavily onto the ground and coldly shouted:

Where are the Fang family's sons?

Sensing the immense fighting spirit emanating from Fang Shanhe, the members of the Fang family were inspired and roared loudly.

"exist!"

"exist!"

"exist!"

Fang Shanhe gripped his long sword, pointed it straight ahead, and his voice, filled with killing intent, exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.

"Follow me to kill the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shanhe took the lead and charged towards the enemy like a ferocious beast.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand gleamed with a dazzling light, unleashing a chillingly sharp aura as it shredded several enemies.

Behind them, the Fang family members, their eyes reddened from the shock, charged out fearlessly as well.

The two sides went back and forth, seemingly enraged.

Amidst the brutal battlefield, ten masked figures in black, like ghosts, moved among the crowd.

The blood-red dagger in his hand, with each flash of its cold light, took away an enemy.

These were the secret guards personally trained by Fang Xuan.

With the help of Zhan Yi and his team, the previously invincible enemy began to suffer a series of defeats.

"How dare you!"

Seeing that Fang Shanhe had killed another enemy, including a Blood Fiend Gang elder, a powerful expert at the eighth level of the Condensation Realm.

He pushed off the ground with both legs, leaped up, and slashed at Fang Shanhe with his blood-red longsword.

"when!"

The two weapons clashed, and the Blood Fiend Gang elder was sent flying backward.

Fang Shanhe staggered back several steps, planted his longsword on the ground, and as he regained his footing, he gripped the sword with both hands, let out a roar, and slashed the Blood Fiend Gang elder with his longsword.

"die!"

A terrifying blade of light, two meters long, roared out like a whirlwind, tearing apart two enemies before appearing in front of the Blood Fiend Gang elder.

The opponent had just regained his footing when he saw the terrifying blade light coming towards him, and instinctively raised his blood-red blade to block it.

"Snap!"

The blood-red blade snapped in two like fragile paper, but its edge remained undiminished, slashing down with overwhelming force.

"puff!"

As the sound of flesh tearing apart rang out, the Blood Fiend Gang elder trembled and froze on the spot.

A thin line of blood appeared between his brows.

The next moment, he was split in two.

"good!"

"Second Elder is mighty!"

The fall of an enemy at the Condensation Realm filled the Fang family with jubilation, boosting their morale once again.

"Second Elder, the enemy outnumbers us and is reinforced by formations. I'm afraid our clansmen won't be able to hold out for long."

The Fourth Elder approached, his expression grave.

"Leave it to me!"

Fang Shanhe's eyes flashed with killing intent. Holding his long sword, he charged towards Master Chu, who was in charge of the formation, like a whirlwind.

No one dared to stop them as they passed by.

"Commander Huang, stop him!"

Master Chu's expression changed, and he said, "We must not let him break the formation!"

"Master Chu, rest assured, I'll take care of this man!"

He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs.

The dragon horse let out a low roar and charged straight toward Fang Shanhe.

"Get lost!"

Fang Shanhe's face was contorted with rage as he slashed forward with all his might using his Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

"How dare a grain of rice compete with the bright moon for light?"

Huang Long chuckled and quickly brought his hands together, actually clamping the long sword between them.

No matter how hard Fang Shanhe tried, he couldn't get a single hair off.

"roll!"

Huang Long slapped the blade with his backhand, unleashing a surge of violent power that sent Fang Shanhe flying.

A clear palm print was now visible on the blade.

"Peak of the Qi Condensation Realm?"

Fang Shanhe slid a distance, then looked at Huang Long with a horrified expression.

Unless one is at the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, it would be absolutely impossible to defeat him with a single palm strike.

"You old bastard, you killed so many of my brothers, now you'll pay with your life!"

Huang Long grinned maliciously, leaped up, and pounced on Fang Shanhe like a falcon.

With his peak Condensation Realm cultivation fully unleashed, Huanglong's attacks were fierce and domineering, leaving Fang Shanhe clearly no match.

"Bang!"

After exchanging a few blows, Huang Long seized an opening in Fang Shanhe's defenses and struck Fang Shanhe in the chest with a palm strike.

"puff!"

Fang Shanhe spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, unable to stand up again.

After severely injuring Fang Shanhe, Huang Long turned to the Fourth Elder again.

"Fourth brother, watch out!"

Upon seeing this, Fang Shanhe quickly spoke up to remind him.

But it was too late.

Although Huang Long is overweight, it does not affect his speed at all.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the Fourth Elder and clapped his hands repeatedly.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The Fourth Elder's cultivation was inferior to Fang Shanhe's, and he was no match for Huang Long.

In just three moves, the Fourth Elder was seriously injured and lost his fighting ability.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Huang Long chuckled, his tiger-like eyes sweeping around the room, and he coldly shouted, "Kill them all! Slaughter the entire Fang family!"

The enemy was like wolves and tigers, their momentum unstoppable.

"Thump!"

Just then, a muffled, loud bang resounded in the sky.

Everyone immediately looked up, their gazes sharpening in unison.

A figure flew a hundred meters into the air before finally regaining its footing.

"Blood Without Sorrow actually lost?"

Huang Long's pupils contracted, and he quickly stopped his subordinates.

If Xue Wushang is no match for Fang Shanhai, then we will probably have no choice but to retreat today.

"It's the Grand Elder, he won!"

Seeing Fang Shanhai standing motionless in mid-air, the Fang family members, whose morale had been low, suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Xue Wushang, you have just broken through to the Divine Intent Realm, and are far from being my match."

Fang Shanhai's aura surged, and his voice resounded in all directions.

"If you leave now, I will forgive and forget what happened."

Upon hearing this, Xue Wushang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and chuckled, "What if I don't back down?"

"Then I'll kill you first, and then wipe out your Blood Fiend Gang!"

Fang Shanhai's fighting spirit soared to the heavens, and he said in a chilling tone, "If you don't believe me, you're welcome to try!"

"That might disappoint you."

A strange light flashed in Xue Wushang's eyes as he said, "Patriarch Su, make your move."

As soon as the words fell, a figure carrying a violent and terrifying power roared in from afar and stood shoulder to shoulder with Xue Wushang.

It was Su Chongming!

"Su Chongming!"

A hint of apprehension flashed in Fang Shanhai's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Have you decided to go to war with my Fang family?"

"Fang Shanhai, do you think there's any point in saying all this now?"

Su Chongming said indifferently, "Fang Xuan killed my son; this debt must be repaid!"

"Then there's nothing more to say."

Upon hearing this, a resolute look appeared on Fang Shanhai's aged face.

"Even if my Fang family is wiped out, I won't let your Su family get away with it!"

Su Chongming shook his head and said, "You won't have that chance."

"Let's do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chongming vanished from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already behind Fang Shanhai.

A palm covered in spiritual energy slammed down towards Fang Shanhai.

Fang Shanhai's eyes sharpened, and he quickly took two steps forward to avoid Su Chongming's attack.

But a red lightning bolt had already roared in and punched Fang Shanhai in the chest.

"snort!"

Fang Shanhai let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Faced with the combined attack of two experts at the Divine Realm, Fang Shanhai was clearly no match.

"Old man, the battle is over!"

Xue Wushang grinned maliciously, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and a blood-red longsword condensed from spiritual energy appeared in mid-air, slashing fiercely at Fang Shanhai.

On the other side, Su Chongming suddenly pressed down with his palm.

A giant palm of spiritual energy appeared and slammed down towards Fang Shanhai.

"Great Wind-Tearing Hand!"

Fang Shanhai channeled his spiritual power, transforming it into two claws, which he used to grab at Xue Wushang and the other person.

"Boom!"

However, Xue Wushang and his companion's attacks were too swift and fierce. They not only easily neutralized Fang Shanhai's martial arts attacks, but also enveloped Fang Shanhai with undiminished momentum.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

Fang Shanhai was struck as if by lightning, his body falling like a meteorite.

"You old bastard, die!"

Xue Wushang's figure blurred, and he reappeared in front of Fang Shanhai, punching Fang Shanhai in the chest.

"Elder!"

Upon seeing this scene, the Fang family members all changed their expressions drastically, their faces filled with despair.

Just at this critical moment, a figure rushed over like lightning, grabbed Fang Shanhai and retreated rapidly, stopping steadily in mid-air.

"Gentlemen, could you please give this old man some face and stop here?"

The person who saved Fang Shanhai was none other than Li Shanya.

"Li Shanya!"

Su Chongming's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you trying to interfere in the feud between the Su family and the Fang family?"

"Think what you want."

Li Shanya said, "I'm determined to protect the Fang family!"

"You?"

Xue Wushang smiled coldly: "Patriarch Su, you stop this old bastard. After I kill Fang Shanhai, I'll kill him with you!"

"Can!"

A murderous glint flashed in Su Chongming's eyes: "Li Shanya, since your Li family also wants to die, then join the Fang family!"

Now that things have come to this, Su Chongming wouldn't mind taking this opportunity to wipe out the Fang and Li families and become the sole power.

Upon hearing this, all members of the Fang family fell into a deathly silence.

They know.

Today is a day of annihilation!

Just as Su Chongming was about to make a move, a voice filled with killing intent suddenly rang out between heaven and earth.

"You'll be the ones who die!"
