Wait until I break through—then I’ll tell you it’s safe to emerge,” Xia Daoming added in a hushed tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Master. Be careful,” Liu Qiaolian whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming nodded, then stepped around the peach tree before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he circled the peach tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His vision suddenly brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick fog vanished as if it had never been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, a sharp cry rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two swords and two great blades, gleaming with cold fury, shot toward Xia Daoming like four streaks of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming coldly roared, swinging his long spear in a sweeping arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spear swept through the air, summoning a violent gale that howled fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four sharp metallic clashes rang out in rapid succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, the four blades and swords flew from their wielders’ hands and clattered to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Seventh-Rank Great Martial Masters instantly bled from their palms; the powerful hidden force surged through their weapons and into their arms, forcing them to stagger backward, their faces flushing crimson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Sixth-Rank Great Martial Masters fared even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the crushing impact of the hidden force, they were flung backward like autumn leaves swept by the wind; their arm tendons and blood vessels, unable to withstand the flood-like surge, ruptured completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skin split open, muscles tore, blood gushed—horrible to behold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four had never imagined the man who suddenly appeared possessed such terrifying strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even doubted that a Ninth-Rank Martial Master, despite his ability to shape and manipulate his force with spiritual awareness, could match the sheer overwhelming power of this man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, the four scattered and fled in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where do you think you’re going!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long spear had somehow split into two, and Xia Daoming hurled them simultaneously—whistling through the air toward the two Seventh-Rank Martial Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What strength did Xia Daoming possess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he hurled the split spear like javelins, their speed was like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, they caught up to the fleeing Seventh-Rank Great Martial Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssshh! Ssshh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One short spear pierced clean through the back of a Seventh-Rank Great Martial Master, who collapsed face-first, blood spurting out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other Seventh-Rank Great Martial Master wore clothing of exceptional resilience—the spear failed to pierce him completely; instead, it drove him and the spear several meters forward before pinning him firmly to a tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pinned man still clung to life, struggling to turn his head backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw a dark shadow streaking toward another man, delivering a palm strike to his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man collapsed, twitched a few times, then lay still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark shadow, after knocking the man down, didn’t even glance back—it moved like a phantom, swift as a hawk diving, chasing the last Sixth-Rank Great Martial Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last one was the wax-faced man known as the Fifth Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, Xia Daoming caught up to the wax-faced man, extended his hand like a dragon’s claw, and seized his throat from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“H-Hero, s-spare my life!” the wax-faced man gasped, his face turning deep purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming gave no reply. He merely stared expressionlessly as he gripped the man’s neck, dragging him like a dead dog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He retrieved the two short spears, then walked to the edge of the mist-shrouded illusion array and called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the mist parted, and Liu Qiaolian stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!” Liu Qiaolian cried out in relief upon seeing Xia Daoming unharmed, then her gaze fell on the man he dragged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Fifth of the Withered Corpse Six Killers!” Liu Qiaolian’s face paled, her eyes filled with bitter hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know me?” the wax-faced man exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So it’s true!” Xia Daoming’s expression darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader of the Withered Corpse Six Killers had transformed into the County Magistrate of Luogui City; villagers within a hundred li of the city carefully bred venomous snakes born under Yin years and Yin months; the Gengyun Mountain had undergone such strange changes—Xia Daoming had already suspected the Withered Corpse Six Killers were involved, even while inside the illusion array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Liu Qiaolian’s identification, Xia Daoming confirmed his suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Know you? I’d kill you a hundred times over!” Liu Qiaolian snarled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wax-faced man’s face changed, but instead of fear, he grew calm. “Many have wanted to kill me, Sang Zhang, yet here I still stand. Do you know why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiaolian, enraged that the man who destroyed her family dared to be so arrogant, raised her spear, ready to drive it through his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming gestured to her to hold back, then looked at Sang Zhang and said calmly, “Tell me why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because I am now a Force-Bearer under the Immortal’s service, assigned to guard and oversee this Gengyun Mountain! If you kill me today, no matter where you flee, the Immortal will hunt you down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So I advise you to release me. With your strength, if I vouch for you and speak well of you, the Immortal may accept you too—you’ll enter the Immortal Gate, forever separated from mortals, free and unbound.” Sang Zhang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Daoming said nothing, but raised his eyes toward the golden glow rippling across the eastern fields of the valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were currently on the valley’s western side, far from the east; his attack had been swift, ending the battle instantly, so the laborers to the east had not been disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a large mansion not far from the battle, several women peeked out from behind, their faces pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their qi fluctuations were faint—no need to concern himself with them yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hero, rest assured—the Immortal holds me in high regard. If I speak well of you, he will surely…” Sang Zhang, seeing Xia Daoming’s silence, assumed he was swayed by his words—or intimidated by the Immortal’s name—and pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, few in this age could resist the lure of Immortal destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: During this new book’s ranking period, please readers try to follow along.
