Of course you are!” Ding Chuding stammered, his legs trembling, his bladder throbbing with urgent need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Sixth-Rank Great Martial Master, yet even now he couldn’t fathom how his own knife had ended up in the other man’s hand—and now pressed against his neck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What terrifying ability!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, not only had Ding Chuding nearly pissed himself— even Yu Chi Xiao and the others nearly did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Liang Jingtang, Zhuo Xingji, and Liu Qiaolian showed any composure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, do you still want to take my people?” Xia Daoming asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Xia, you’re joking, you’re joking,” Ding Chuding forced a smile, though it looked worse than crying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Xia Daoming lifted his knee and slammed it twice hard into Ding Chuding’s abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chuding’s stomach churned as if turned inside out, but he dared not bend over—the cold blade still rested against his neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who the hell are you joking with?!” Xia Daoming’s face darkened; he grabbed Ding Chuding’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Chuding could only tilt his head back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this joke so funny?” Xia Daoming snarled, slapping Ding Chuding’s face with the blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-what do you want from me?! If you dare touch me, the Ding family will never let you live!” Ding Chuding finally blustered, invoking his family’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quick, release our young master, or your Qianjiao Martial Hall won’t have a single survivor—” Ding Chuding’s short, stout retainer blanched and threatened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the retainer could finish, Xia Daoming’s face turned icy—he seized Ding Chuding and hurled him straight at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The retainer saw a dark shape hurtling toward him and instinctively raised his blade to block—then recognized his own young master and froze in terror, dropping his weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That single hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human club crashed into the retainer’s body—he collapsed instantly, while Ding Chuding writhed in agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bang! Bang! Bang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xia Daoming used Ding Chuding to knock down one retainer, Liang Jingtang and the three male disciples had already brutally gang-beaten the other retainer into submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What now, Dao Ming? Should we kill them all?” Yu Chi Xiao clenched his fists, brimming with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the three senior brothers, Yu Chi Xiao was the most honest and straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when an honest man is pushed too far, he becomes the most ruthless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this point, we must kill them all, then break out of the city with our people,” Zhuo Xingji said grimly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Plans never match changes—it seems we have no choice now,” Xia Daoming rubbed his chin, helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, that night he and Ji Yuanzhen and others had devised a plan: pretend to ally with the Ding family, offer most of their wealth in exchange for priority evacuation of their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combat-capable among them would remain inside the city, eating spirit rice and taking pills to boost their cultivation, waiting for the right moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, this fool Ding Chuding had barged in and shattered their carefully laid plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, sirs, please talk it out, don’t kill me, don’t kill me—I’ll never dare again!” Ding Chuding finally pissed himself, wailing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think there’ll be a next time?!” Xia Daoming stomped down hard on Ding Chuding’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xiao Wei rushed in, frantic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master, Yu Chi Jiao… Jiao…” Xiao Wei began, then saw Xia Daoming’s foot and his eyes bulged—he choked, speech stuck in his throat like a duck with its neck wrung.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong?” Xia Daoming looked up at Xiao Wei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wei met his gaze and shuddered involuntarily, blurting out: “I—I heard Shi Fengyuan is leading men straight toward us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck! This old bastard came at the perfect time! One’s a kill, two’s a kill—first kill this dog of a Ding Chuding, then kill Shi Fengyuan to avenge Miss Wanqing!” Yu Chi Xiao’s eyes blazed with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since things have gone this far, let’s just go all out!” Liang Jingtang nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened to Miss Wanqing?” Xia Daoming’s heart sank slightly; he asked without thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Wanqing refused Shi Fengyuan—he killed her with one palm strike. Many other girls were beaten or killed for resisting. If Xiao Qiang hadn’t been your direct disciple, she’d have been beaten to death too,” Yu Chi Xiao said, eyes red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Miss Wanqing is dead?” Xia Daoming froze, then his killing intent surged: “All of them deserve to die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many girls from Yao Hua Pavilion were orphaned or, like Xiao Qiang, were noblewomen exiled to Mangzhou—each one a pitiful soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And because of Xiao Qiang, Xia Daoming had felt a certain fondness for them by extension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Miss Wanqing—untainted by filth, skilled in the qin. He had once exchanged musical insights with her and developed genuine admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet now, after just one trip away, he returned to find her gone—dead before he could even visit Yao Hua Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang! Clang! Clang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The violent pounding of the door knocker echoed from the front courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yu Chi Senior Brother, go open the door,” Xia Daoming said, face dark with menace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it!” Yu Chi Xiao nodded and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yu Chi Xiao turned away, Xia Daoming seemed to recall something—his gaze fell on Ding Chuding beneath his foot, a thoughtful glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Qianjiao Martial Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Fengyuan stared up at the hall’s signboard, eyes filled with venomous hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Months ago, his beloved son Shi Yingdeng had been injured by three punches from Liang Jingtang at Yao Hua Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Toad Pills from Changchun Hall couldn’t heal him—he had to take his old steward Lin Lu to Lübai City to buy the rare Xuan Gui Yang Mai Ointment from Qianyun Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Shi Yingdeng and the old steward never returned—they were clearly dead on the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Fengyuan couldn’t trace who killed his son, so he pinned the blame squarely on Liang Jingtang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as the Three Alliance and Xu Family began clearing the city, Qianjiao Martial Hall appeared close to the Ding family—so the Xu Family held little hope for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Fengyuan volunteered to negotiate with Qianjiao Martial Hall; the Xu Family’s upper echelons didn’t know about the new grudge between Shi and Qianjiao, so they let him go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Fengyuan sent envoys twice, and when Qianjiao Martial Hall gave no reply, he seized the excuse to strike at Yao Hua Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son’s death had begun because of Yao Hua Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his son had wanted to sleep with Miss Wanqing—and twistedly, he now sought to fulfill his son’s dying wish. When she refused, he flew into rage and killed her with a single palm strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old man, I hope you don’t disappoint me—have some backbone,” Shi Fengyuan sneered, turning to a man beside him who looked barely thirty—a Sixth-Rank Great Martial Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man was Shi Yinghao, his nephew and the Shi family’s so-called martial genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he was a nephew, Shi Fengyuan had always poured resources into his own son, Shi Yingdeng—even spending heavily to prepare a priceless medicinal herb for him to consume upon reaching Fifth-Rank peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Shi Yingdeng vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of the Shi family’s future, Shi Fengyuan turned to Shi Yinghao and gave him the precious herb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yinghao proved worthy of his title as the Shi family’s martial genius—soon after receiving the herb, he broke through to Sixth-Rank Great Martial Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yinghao, if that old man even hints he won’t submit to the Xu Family, strike with me at once—catch him off guard! All of you, same plan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Fengyuan’s gaze swept to the other six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The six: three Fifth-Rank Great Martial Masters, three Fourth-Rank Martial Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, most of the Shi family’s elite were gathered here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Patriarch!” All responded, eyes gleaming with murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Some readers say I’m too short. Uncle can endure, but Aunt cannot—then here’s another chapter! You all better step up too.\u003C\u002Fp>",1404,"2026-06-20T05:15:29.288Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2fd1043878469ab387e87efe5fe42b26140a42cf81ab244d3658df4b5b229261","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-83","i-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-chapter-81",484,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-subdue-the-immortals-with-strength-cover.jpg"]
