Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

Listening to Yu Sanqiu’s emotionless words, Huo Wuji struggled to turn around, glaring daggers at him.

“Are you sure you want to fight the Huo family to the death?”

He spoke in a low voice, blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth.

“HAHAHAHA.”

“Huo Wuji, are you scared?”

Yu Sanqiu laughed, his voice dripping with contempt. “Ever since our Yu family’s old Patriarch fell atop Kunlun Mountain, haven’t our two families already been locked in a feud to the death?”

“No matter how deep our grudges were before, there was still some room for negotiation.”

“But in that battle on Kunlun Mountain, both our Yu family’s young master and old Patriarch lost their lives!”

“I know you Huo family members might want to pin all the blame on that fellow Ye Chen.”

“But weren’t you his accomplices? Now Ye Chen is dead, and your Huo family Patriarch is severely wounded. This is the perfect opportunity to strike. Do you really think we’d miss a chance like this?”

Yu Sanqiu’s voice was cold and laced with killing intent, echoing like thunder between heaven and earth.

The hearts of the Huo family members grew heavy, their expressions turning grim.

Hearing this, Ye Chen finally understood.

In truth, the Yu family’s young master, Yu Qingqi, and their old Patriarch, Yu Hongjue, had indeed both fallen at Ye Chen’s hands.

Ultimately, their deaths had further intensified the conflict between the Yu and Huo families.

According to the rumors circulating outside, Ye Chen had already perished at the Peach Blossom Banquet in Dongxuan Province. Therefore, the Yu family could only redirect the flames of their hatred toward the Huo family.

Of course, the two families were already on the verge of an irreconcilable feud. Ye Chen’s actions had simply pushed them over the edge.

Now, with Huo Qiguang severely wounded, the Huo family had no allies in the Black Triangle.

The Yu family, on the other hand, was in the same boat as forces like the Black Tiger Tribe and the Cyan Ape Tribe, thanks to their previous alliance against Ye Chen.

It was no surprise that they planned to take advantage of the Huo family’s decline and eradicate them.

At this thought, Ye Chen’s eyes narrowed, a flash of killing intent flickering in his heart.

‘Since I’m the one who started all this, I can’t just stand by and watch.’

‘No matter what, I have to help the Huo family get through this crisis!’

“First of all, one should take responsibility for their own actions. We never intended to shift the blame to anyone else. Besides, given that our families are like fire and water, there would be no point in doing so.”

“Secondly, you think the Yu family alone can take us down?”

Huo Wuji sneered. “How naive! Don’t think I’m unaware that after Yu Hongjue’s fall, your Yu family also went through a long period of internal turmoil. You still haven’t recovered your strength!”

“Since neither of our Patriarchs can fight, even if we battle to the very end, the Yu family will suffer crippling losses as well! It will be anything but an easy victory!”

“At worst, it’ll be a case of mutual destruction!”

Hearing this, the other powerful members of the Huo family regained some of their morale.

Huo Wuji was right.

If they were only facing the Yu family, their situation wouldn’t be completely hopeless.

Although Yu Sanqiu was powerful—as the Yu family’s Supreme Elder, his cultivation was a notch above even their old Patriarch, Yu Hongjue—the Huo family’s deep-rooted strength meant they wouldn’t face a completely one-sided slaughter.

Even if the Yu family truly wanted to eradicate them, they would have to consider their own strength carefully, lest the cornered Huo family retaliate with a final, devastating bite!

“Heh heh…”

“I knew you idiots from the Huo family would have such unrealistic thoughts.”

Yu Sanqiu clasped his hands behind his back and laughed heartily, his smile filled with disdain.

“Since we dared to make a move, we naturally came prepared!”

“If the Yu family can’t handle your counterattack, what if we add *them* to the equation?”

With that, Yu Sanqiu’s gaze swept over the forests on both sides as he said with a grin, “Everyone, no need to hide anymore. Let’s take this opportunity to wipe out these Huo family higher-ups together.”

“What?”

Huo Susu and the others were stunned.

They hurriedly looked to their sides, a sense of unease washing over them.

The next moment, a tyrannical aura erupted from the forests on both sides. The aura swept through like a hurricane, flattening a large swath of trees.

Immediately after, an old man in black robes rose into the sky, appearing before everyone.

His back was stooped, and he looked very old.

But his ancient eyes rippled with mysterious and unfathomable divine patterns. A single glance from afar was enough to make one’s Divine Soul tremble and their feet unsteady.

“Is that… the Supreme Elder of the Black Tiger Tribe, Qiu Chenfeng?”

Huo Wuji’s eyes narrowed, and his heart sank like a stone.

Before everyone could recover from the tense atmosphere, another figure emerged from the thick dust and smoke in the forest on the other side, hovering high in the air.

It was an incredibly robust man. His body was as brawny as a small mountain, with slabs of muscle like thick layers of rock covering his bare upper body.

The brawny man held a giant meteor hammer. The hammer was attached to an iron chain, the other end of which was wrapped around his arm.

“Is this all the Huo family has?”

“To make such a big fuss over a few defeated remnants… how boring!”

The brawny man spoke in a booming, muffled voice. He gave the Black-Crested Golden Eagle a cursory glance before looking away, appearing as if he didn’t give the Huo family members a second thought.

“Who is this guy? How can he be so arrogant!”

A young Huo family expert spoke up, glaring angrily at the brawny man with his fists clenched.

Huo Wuji let out a heavy sigh. “That is the Xiao family’s martial fanatic, Xiao Long!”

“Xiao Long?” As soon as the name was spoken, the young Huo family expert’s face changed drastically, and he sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.

The Xiao family’s martial fanatic, Xiao Long!

The most peerless genius of the Xiao family’s previous generation!

When Xiao Long first set foot in the Cultivation Realm, he stunned the entire Black Triangle. His fame spread for hundreds of miles!

Before the age of twenty-five, he had already stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm, crushing all other Cultivators of his generation.

But not only was he exceptionally talented, he was also belligerent by nature. He often visited other major powers to challenge them, fighting against the prodigies of various forces.

In the process, he won far more than he lost, and his strength improved by leaps and bounds. Eventually, he became undefeated against geniuses of the same realm!

A few years ago, just as he turned forty, his cultivation had already surpassed that of the Xiao family’s Patriarch, reaching the astonishing Ninth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Now, he was already preparing to break through to the Divine Might Realm. Within the ripples of his Spiritual Power, one could faintly sense a trace of the power of Divine Might.

Anyone could see that it wouldn’t be long before this martial fanatic of the Xiao family would truly step into the Divine Might Realm.

At that time, the Xiao family would have another Great Power in the Divine Might Realm, and their status would rise above all other major forces!
