any remaining attacks were easily repelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Xu family’s caravan gradually faded into the distance, soon vanishing from sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming quietly exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, the crowd began streaming out of the Forbidden Gorge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a significant number of people had been left behind forever within the Forbidden Gorge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they escaped the gorge, everyone sprinted without looking back toward the southern exit, for as long as they remained inside the gorge, there was no safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming did not join the frantic crowd; instead, he hid in the shadows and trailed them from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the gorge’s exit, Xia Daoming deliberately concealed himself behind a cliffside rock, waiting for nearly half an hour without witnessing or hearing any unusual activity, before finally stepping out with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the seventh young master of the Xu family was a cold and arrogant man who despised killing those who posed no threat to his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping out of the Crimson Flame Gorge, Xia Daoming was met with a scene utterly opposite the northern wastelands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Endless rolling mountains, layered peaks, and lush green forests stretched everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several winding paths twisted through the mountains, their destinations completely obscured by dense woods ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, here there were clear, defined trails, marked with fresh footprints left by recent travelers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the desert, where every path seemed like a path yet none truly were—only those who frequently traversed the desert could judge routes by distinctive landmarks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming quickly chose a path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Travel between the northern and southern regions clearly occurred rarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The road was overgrown with weeds, and many sections showed clear signs of recent trampling or clearing; otherwise, some paths would have been entirely obscured by thick brush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the southern region of Mangzhou was mountainous, it received abundant rainfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With mountains and water, food was at least somewhat obtainable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Mang Mountains for some distance, signs of human habitation gradually increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just climbing over one or two peaks, one could always spot villages and farmland nestled at the foot of hills or in valleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This greatly eased Xia Daoming’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least, even if he took a wrong path, he wouldn’t have to worry about being unable to find someone to ask for directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked for half a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sun slowly sank toward the west.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mist rose from the forests, and the sky grew dim and hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming had just climbed over a small hill and stood atop it, gazing down at the surrounding gloom, seeing no sign of any village or human presence, when his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a temple corner peeking out from the bushes halfway up the slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perfect! At least tonight I’ll have a shelter from wind and rain!\" Xia Daoming thought happily, quickly descending the hill and heading straight for the temple halfway up the slope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he neared the temple, Xia Daoming moved silently, suppressing his breath as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he spotted chaotic footprints on the ground, but he’d also faintly heard the voices of men and women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the ruined temple hall, a young man lay dead in the corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man, covered in pockmarks, was unmistakably the young woman’s cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the hall, before the incense burner, two men held the young woman’s arms and legs down from either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me go! Let me go! You beasts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young woman struggled desperately; her plump body writhing only intensified the lust of the two men pinning her, causing them to swallow hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, madam, scream all you want—the more you scream, the more excited I get!\" The green-eyed fourth-rank martial artist leered as he stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rip!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-eyed martial artist tore open the front of the young woman’s blouse, exposing part of her lush, pale skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three men’s eyes glowed with lust, their throats bobbing as they swallowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the door was kicked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three men were startled; the green-eyed martial artist reacted instantly, spinning on the spot, dropping to one knee, one hand pressing the ground, the other resting at his side, eyes blazing with malice as he prepared for an immediate, violent assault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the three recognized the intruder’s face; first surprised, then they all exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn’t expect you to still be alive—looks like I underestimated you!\" The green-eyed martial artist slowly rose to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming glanced at the woman behind the green-eyed martial artist—her voluptuous figure was undeniably alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Daoming’s gaze met hers only briefly before he firmly looked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I underestimated your beastly nature—how could you commit such inhuman acts against your own companion?\" Xia Daoming said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, men are men—lust and appetite are natural! Young brother, if you’re interested, you can watch from the side first; after my brothers and I are done, you can have your turn. Otherwise, please find another place to rest—don’t go looking for trouble,\" said the green-eyed martial artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to be beasts—I still want to remain human! Release this woman, then cut off your own third leg, and I might consider letting you live,\" Xia Daoming said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little brat, you’re asking for death!\" The green-eyed martial artist’s eyes flashed with murderous intent; he stomped hard on the ground and lunged forward like a hawk, claws extended toward Xia Daoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, you’re asking for death!” The green-eyed martial artist’s eyes flashed with murderous intent; he stomped his foot hard on the ground, claws raised, and lunged at Xia Daoming like a hawk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xia Daoming coldly shouted, refusing to retreat—he stepped forward, forming Snake Head Fists with both hands, striking directly at the green-eyed martial artist’s claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xia Daoming coldly shouted, refused to retreat, and advanced instead—his hands formed Snake Head Fist, striking directly at the green-eyed man’s claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had trained in the Mighty Eagle Claw for over twenty years, constantly soaking his claws in secret medicinal concoctions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, his claws were not only immensely powerful but also razor-sharp and unbreakable—countless martial artists of equal rank had lost their hands to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Xia Daoming didn’t dodge the green-eyed martial artist’s fully charged strike—he boldly met it head-on with his Snake Head Fists. To the green-eyed martial artist, this was pure suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the green-eyed martial artist, Xia Daoming’s refusal to dodge his charged strike—and his brazen counter with Snake Head Fist—was nothing short of walking straight into death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men holding down the young woman clearly knew their companion’s Mighty Eagle Claw was deadly; seeing the clash, their faces broke into smug, mocking grins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack! Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the fists clashed with the claws and bones snapped, the two men’s smug, mocking expressions froze on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-eyed martial artist was blasted backward by Xia Daoming’s twin punches, sliding into the corner, face pale with sweat, both hands dangling uselessly from the wrist joints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that exact moment, the young woman, whose arms had been pinned, suddenly writhed like a snake; her right leg twisted with her body, the tip of her foot shooting upward like a dart toward the groin of the man on her left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the vibrant young woman, her arms pinned, suddenly writhed like a snake—her right leg twisted with her body, toes sharp as a dart, kicking upward toward the left man’s groin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man, still stunned by the sudden turn of events, hadn’t realized that without the green-eyed martial artist’s pressure, most of her body had regained freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kick was swift and unexpected, like a venomous snake striking from the shadows—the man’s groin was struck, and he immediately clutched his crotch, screaming and hopping in agony, drenched in cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as her left arm was freed, her left palm twisted like a snake’s head, index and middle fingers pressed together like a serpent’s tongue, thrusting forward with pinpoint precision toward the right man’s eyeball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as her left arm was free, her left palm twisted like a snake’s head, index and middle fingers pressed tight like a venomous tongue, thrusting straight forward to pierce the right man’s eyeball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that instant, a chilling gust of wind struck from behind his neck, followed by a crushing force and searing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a cold, sharp gust of wind struck from behind his neck—followed instantly by a crushing force and searing pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After delivering a palm-strike that killed a third-rank martial artist, Xia Daoming instantly flashed to the temple’s exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare me, great hero! Spare me!\" The green-eyed martial artist, seeing his escape blocked, turned pale and begged frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry—I’m no hero, so you’re begging the wrong person!\" Xia Daoming sneered coldly, raising his Snake Head Fist and striking straight at the green-eyed martial artist’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, I’m no hero—you’re begging the wrong man!” Xia Daoming sneered coldly, raising his Snake Head Fist and striking straight at the green-eyed man’s Adam’s apple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Daoming’s Snake Head Fist was not only fast—it was incredibly precise, following the green-eyed martial artist’s throat like a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xia Daoming’s Snake Head Fist was not only fast—it was exquisitely agile, clinging to the green-eyed man’s throat like a shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fist struck solidly against the green-eyed martial artist’s Adam’s apple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-eyed martial artist’s eyes bulged wide, filled with shock, disbelief, and unbearable rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-eyed man’s eyes bulged wide, filled with shock, fury, and utter disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the green-eyed martial artist collapsed lifelessly with wide, staring eyes, a scream echoed from beside the temple’s incense burner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the green-eyed man collapsed with eyes wide open, a scream came from beside the incense burner in the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming looked up and saw a beautiful young woman stabbing a man lying on the ground with a sharp knife, as if insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood splattered onto her fair, shapely chest, yet she remained oblivious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming sighed inwardly at the sight and stepped forward. “Enough—he’s already dead.”\u003C\u002Fp>",2011,"2026-06-20T05:15:29.288Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3968fb8d319ec75354041f6f9b3908c1a528000158f8e9a63e639c57dd5bfb38","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-11","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-9",484,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-cover.jpg"]
