Wanyan Kangqian’s face showed a trace of worry as he looked at Wanyan Tianxiong, whose rage had reached the heavens, prepared to storm the An Residence.
“Father, avenging Zhu’er is indeed important, but that’s still the An Family. An Nanjing is a real Martial God! If we anger her, I fear our Wanyan Family won’t be able to bear the consequences!”
Unexpectedly, Wanyan Tianxiong let out a loud laugh at those words. Then his laughter turned into a cold sneer as he said, “Hmph, that woman An Nanjing has long angered Emperor Chu Yuan with her exceptional martial strength and continuous military achievements!”
“Right now, Emperor Chu Yuan is using every possible method to suppress her and the An Family. Otherwise, why do you think he let a useless man marry into the An Residence? Why else would a few leftover remnants from the Tianluo Kingdom be able to sneak into the imperial city and attack the An Family?”
“This…” Wanyan Kangqian’s eyes shrank in shock, as though he had finally realized the situation.
The An Family had already become a thorn in Emperor Chu Yuan’s eye, a splinter in his flesh!
Even if their Wanyan Family truly destroyed the An Family, the Great Chu Emperor would likely favor them afterward, maybe even turn a blind eye entirely.
“And most importantly—” At that moment, a wild and domineering aura appeared on Wanyan Tianxiong’s face, like an old lion raising its head to roar at the sky. “I’ve fully comprehended our Wanyan Family’s Tyrant Heaven Divine Technique. I’ve gained insight. With just some Martial Saint blood or a great battle, I have a high chance of stepping into the Martial God Realm!”
“What!”
“The Martial God Realm!”
“Father’s finally going to break through?!”
Wanyan Kangqian instantly became wildly excited and ecstatic.
One must understand—the difference between Martial Saint and Martial God might only be a single word, but the gap between them was vast!
Across the entire Great Chu Empire, while Martial Saints were rare but still findable, true Martial Gods numbered only a handful!
So far, only An Nanjing and a few from the imperial family were known to have reached the Martial God Realm.
If their Wanyan Family could produce a Martial God, then their status would skyrocket to unprecedented heights!
“That’s right!” Wanyan Tianxiong’s confidence burned in his eyes like torches. “So, the An Family must be destroyed. I will make their destruction my battle to ascend and shake the world with my name!”
“Father, your divine might is unmatched! I offer my sincerest wishes for your victorious return!” Wanyan Kangqian dropped to his knees with a loud cry, his face full of fervent devotion.
“Hmm, just wait here at home for my good news. When I return, our Wanyan Family will rise to glory!”
Swoosh!
As his final words fell, Wanyan Tianxiong’s figure vanished from sight!
At the same moment, a brilliant, dazzling streak of light shot into the sky from the Wanyan Residence.
At that moment, the last rays of the setting sun lit the sky like fire, scattering across the clouds like fragments of gold.
Wanyan Tianxiong, clad in ancient robes, seemed to carry a crimson golden glow. Coupled with the terrifying aura rolling with the wind, nearly half the imperial city took notice!
“An Family!”
“You killed my grandson for no reason and refused to give our Wanyan Family an explanation!”
“Today, I, Wanyan Tianxiong, am here to seek justice for my grandson!!”
Rumble—
His voice thundered through the sky. Especially that half-step Martial God Realm aura—it crashed down like a flying peak, suppressing the heavens and earth!
At that moment, countless martial artists across the imperial city turned their eyes toward him. Within the An Residence, everyone was instantly alarmed!
An Family’s old steward An Fu!
Martial Saint Chu Kui from the military!
Martial Saint Liu Ying from the military!
Even An Beixue and Ning Chen—all hundred plus people in the residence—turned their gazes toward the blood-hued figure of Wanyan Tianxiong.
“This is bad! It’s the Wanyan Family’s ancestor—Wanyan Tianxiong!”
“He arrived too fast! Sister won’t make it back in time!”
An Beixue’s beautiful, otherworldly face turned extremely grim.
Even An Fu, Chu Kui, and Liu Ying all wore solemn expressions!
Although three Martial Saints working together was a formidable force capable of sweeping aside a million soldiers, under the crushing waves of Wanyan Tianxiong’s half-step Martial God aura, they were clearly outmatched!
“What’s going on? The Wanyan Family’s ancestor is attacking the An Residence? Did the An Family really kill the Wanyan heir?”
“The two most powerful families in the Great Chu Empire are clashing head-on!”
“Tsk tsk, this is an imperial city spectacle for sure. A storm is about to erupt!”
From every street, pavilion, and building, countless people were watching!
After all, this kind of direct confrontation between the two most powerful families in the Great Chu Empire was unprecedented!
“Wanyan Tianxiong, the death of Wanyan Zhu has nothing to do with our An Family!”
At that moment, An Fu soared into the air and shouted angrily.
“Hmph, just an old servant. You’re not qualified to speak to me!” Wanyan Tianxiong cast a cold glance at An Fu. His half-step Martial God aura instantly crashed down, forcing An Fu to the ground from mid-air!
“You!” An Fu’s face turned livid, but then a crisp voice rang out.
“Stop!”
A white-robed figure—An Beixue—leapt atop the An Residence gate tower!
Her face was icy cold as she said, “Wanyan Tianxiong, I am An Beixue, second head of the An Family. I have the right to speak with you. I’m telling you now!”
“Wanyan Zhu’s death has nothing to do with our An Family! Leave immediately! When my sister returns, she will not spare you!”
“Hmph!” Wanyan Tianxiong looked down at her and said, “Those words would be more fitting coming from your sister. As for you—you’re not enough!”
“Since your An Family refuses to explain, then I shall seek justice myself!”
“I’ll kill a few of you first—let’s see if you still deny it!”
Boom!
As his voice echoed through the air, Wanyan Tianxiong struck!
He acted with supreme arrogance, not even bothering to use martial techniques. He simply raised his palm and pressed down toward the An Residence like swatting ants.
His movement seemed casual, but in that moment, boundless spiritual energy erupted from his palm like a raging river, suppressing the world!
This single palm could crush half of the An Residence into ruins!
“Damn it!”
“Wanyan Tianxiong, you’re insane!”
“This is the Empire-Defending General’s house! How dare you act so recklessly!”
Seeing this, An Fu and the two Martial Saints—Chu Kui and Liu Ying—all shouted in alarm and flew into the sky to intercept!
Three figures, three streams of Martial Saint power. Though An Fu was slightly weaker, both Chu Kui and Liu Ying were high-level Martial Saints!
From afar, the three of them appeared like pillars of divine light, rushing to clash with the descending palm!
But in the next moment, An Beixue and the rest of the An Family’s faces changed drastically…
