Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

His face was mocking, his expression scornful. "Declare war?"

"Liu Kunlun, you rather overestimate your Liu family's strength."

"This won't be a war. It will be a one-sided slaughter!"

The moment he finished speaking, his killing intent flared.

Behind him, the experts from the Lei family also sneered, showing complete disregard for Liu Kunlun, the Patriarch of the Liu family.

"Fine... A slaughter it is, then!"

Liu Kunlun laughed in fury. "Is this how the number one family in Lei Province conducts itself? Willing to murder and even harm the innocent just to swallow our Liu family whole?"

"If you must blame someone, blame that old man of yours."

Lei Wanjun sighed theatrically, his voice laced with mock sorrow. "If he had just been obedient, would things have ever escalated to this point?"

"'That old man...'" Liu Kunlun gritted his teeth. "Is the Kunlun Key truly that alluring to you?"

"It's an ancestral heirloom of my Liu family. How could we just hand it over to outsiders?"

"Besides, if you truly annihilate the Liu family, what do you think the other families will think? Your Lei family will become everyone's target!"

"First of all, that's not for you to decide," Lei Wanjun said coolly. "Secondly, the weak must be prepared to be crushed by the strong."

"My Lei family has been biding its time for years. Even if the other three great families joined forces, you would be no match for us."

"Not to mention, of the Four Great Families, the Li family and the Yan family have already been wiped out. Only you and I are left."

"Once the Liu family is subjugated, tell me, what power in Lei Province would dare to be dissatisfied with us?"

Hearing this, Liu Kunlun was so furious he clenched his fists, a sense of powerlessness flooding his heart.

Lei Wanjun wasn't wrong.

'In fact, our Liu family should have been on guard long ago!'

Among the Four Great Families, the Lei family had always been far ahead in terms of strength, with the other three trailing behind.

The Lei family's ambition was no secret. Lei Wanjun had always wanted his family to become the greatest power, surpassing even Vajra Temple and the provincial government.

In truth, everyone could see that the Lei family had plans to absorb the other families.

But facing a potential counterattack from the other three families combined, the Lei family wasn't confident it could handle the blow. That was how the balance among the Four Great Families had been maintained until now.

But today, only two of the Four Great Families remained, and even Vajra Temple had been destroyed.

With the Liu family's strongest expert, Liu Tianxin, bedridden, the Lei family no longer had any scruples. They could easily subjugate the Liu family with their superior martial might.

In an instant, following the Lei family's aggressive invasion, the entire city of Piaoling was thrown into turmoil.

Countless civilians began to flee the city, while the residents who remained locked their doors, refusing to come out, their faces filled with terror as they watched the commotion outside.

Faced with Lei Wanjun's overwhelming pressure, Liu Kunlun clenched and unclenched his fists several times before finally letting them fall slack in despair.

The Lei family was too powerful; the Liu family truly had no way to resist.

'If we fight with all our might, it will only end in a river of blood and a mountain of bones.'

He didn't want to see that happen!

"Liu Kunlun, have you made your decision?"

"If you surrender to my Lei family now, it's not too late."

Lei Wanjun said flatly, "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance. I'll count to three. If you still haven't decided by then, don't blame me for starting the massacre."

"Three..."

At that moment, all the Liu family members and guards turned their gazes to Liu Kunlun.

"Patriarch, let's fight them to the death!"

"Even if we die, we can't die in such a cowardly way!"

The Liu family's Grand Elder's fighting spirit surged, a vicious glint in his eyes as he spoke with hatred.

"Two..."

Lei Wanjun's voice was like a death knell from the King of Hell. Liu Kunlun broke out in a cold sweat, clenching his jaw, his heart wracked with torment.

His next words would decide the fate of every single person in the Liu family!

The weight of such a decision was so immense that even he, the Patriarch of the Liu family, felt crushed and couldn't breathe.

"One..."

Just as Lei Wanjun called out the final number, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

A wave of chilling killing intent spread out!

Liu Kunlun's expression changed. He couldn't afford to hesitate any longer and was about to make his decision.

"We..."

"Wait!" Just then, a voice suddenly called out from a distance, cutting Liu Kunlun off.

Hearing that familiar voice, Liu Kunlun was startled for a moment before quickly looking over.

He saw Liu Yuchan rushing over with a group of Liu family experts, sweeping into the scene.

Luoyun City was not too far from Piaoling City.

They had managed to arrive just in time, right after the Lei family decided to launch their attack on Piaoling City.

"Yuchan! What are you doing here?"

Seeing Liu Yuchan, Liu Kunlun was first overjoyed, but his face quickly filled with worry. "You need to leave, quickly! It's too dangerous here. You can't stay!"

Lei Wanjun, however, chuckled nonchalantly. "I didn't expect your son to come and back you up... Excellent. This way, you and your son can die together. You won't be lonely."

At his words, the crowd of Lei family experts behind him also laughed.

"Father, I've come to help!"

Liu Yuchan said with a solemn expression, "The Liu family is facing a matter of life and death. As the young master of the Liu family, how could I possibly stand aside and do nothing?"

Hearing this, Liu Kunlun could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

He knew how stubborn his son's temperament was, so he stopped trying to persuade him and instead asked about Liu Tianxin's condition.

"Father, don't worry. Thanks to Master Ye's treatment, Grandfather is already recovering. He'll be fully healed after a period of rest."

Liu Yuchan announced the good news, his face beaming with joy.

"Your grandfather has recovered... Good. That's truly wonderful news."

Liu Kunlun nodded, feeling a slight sense of relief in his heart.

"Alright, this isn't the time for a father-son reunion."

Lei Wanjun waved his hand, and the Lei family experts behind him fanned out, practically surrounding the entire estate.

"Since your Liu family has chosen to put up a futile resistance, I see no reason to hold back."

"In fact, I was prepared for this before I even came."

"If you had surrendered so easily, I would have found it rather unsatisfying."

Lei Wanjun's expression was indifferent, his eyes filled with contempt, as if he were looking at a flock of lambs waiting for the slaughter.

'That's right. Without the Li and Yan families, the Liu family has no reinforcements worthy of our respect.'

'Even if Liu Yuchan brought men to help, so what?'

'It's just a few more lambs on the field. We can devour them in a single bite, so why would we care?'

"Is that so?"

"Are you so certain you can swallow our Liu family today?"

Liu Yuchan snorted coldly, then slowly stepped aside.

Behind him, a young man with a faint smile on his face came into everyone's view.
