The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

The downpour intensified. As Sun Yuanliang was wondering when Sun Yuanjing would return, he sensed a terrifying aura approaching the Sun Family Manor.

This aura couldn’t belong to Sun Yuanjing. Besides, unless they were seeking revenge, Martial Artists rarely projected their auras so openly.

As a Martial Artist himself, this made Sun Yuanliang’s heart lurch.

Although Sun Yuanliang’s cultivation wasn’t as high as Sun Yuanjing’s, he too was in the Grandmaster Realm. He rarely made a move, so the Martial Artists of Jiangzhou only knew that Sun Yuanjing was an exceptionally powerful Grandmaster; they had no idea Sun Yuanliang was one as well.

”Members of the Sun Family, come out and die!”

A thunderous shout echoed through the sky above the Sun Family Manor.

This startled the Sun Family, then left them stunned. How many years had it been since the Sun Family rose to prominence in Jiangzhou? No one had ever dared show up at their door seeking revenge like this.

Sun Yuanliang’s voice boomed across the estate, ”Who are you? How dare you humiliate the Sun Family!”

KABOOM! A deafening thunderclap exploded.

At the same time, a voice reverberated throughout the Sun Family Manor.

”I am Chen Dong!”

Sun Yuanliang’s expression changed drastically. ’Chen Dong is here at the Sun Family Manor. Does that mean my younger brother...’

He quickly suppressed the thought. ’My brother must have just been delayed by something. Nothing could have happened to him. For Chen Dong to dare come to the Sun Family Manor seeking his own death... this is the perfect chance to eliminate him.’

’Here in the Sun Family Manor, I, Sun Yuanliang, am invincible.’

He pulled a pearl from his robes, strode out into the downpour, and with a single leap, landed on the roof. His gaze was fixed on the terrifying aura ahead.

’This is definitely not an aura an ordinary Grandmaster could possess. Could my brother have truly met his end?’

And so, Sun Yuanliang shouted, ”What has become of my younger brother, Sun Yuanjing?”

Chen Dong also took flight, leaping onto the roof of the main gate to the Sun Family estate, facing Sun Yuanliang from across the distance.

”He dared to move against Grandmaster Li and Aunt Xia. Of course he’s dead!”

Even though he had suspected it, hearing it confirmed was still too much for Sun Yuanliang to accept. The glazed tiles beneath his feet instantly shattered.

He took a deep breath, his tone turning unnaturally calm and cold. ”To have killed my brother, you must be exceptionally powerful. But since you’ve come to the Sun Family, this place will be your grave!”

The fury in his eyes burned like bright lanterns in the storm.

He raised the Treasure Pearl high. Instantly, the entire Sun Family Manor seemed to harness the power of heaven and earth. An unrivaled might emanated outwards as an invisible force enveloped the estate. The Sun Family Manor felt like a primordial behemoth, its gaze locked on Chen Dong.

”An Array, is it? I really did underestimate your Sun Family!” His tone carried a hint of amazement, but far more contempt.

Sun Yuanliang’s expression was grim. ”The Sun Family has a legacy spanning hundreds of years. Did you think we wouldn’t have a few trump cards? Today, you will witness the might of our family’s Array.”

As he spoke, thunder roared across the sky, and lightning webbed through the clouds.

A bolt of lightning, as if guided, shot straight down at Chen Dong.

Chen Dong’s figure was instantly obliterated, vanishing like smoke and leaving behind half a collapsed roof.

Sun Yuanliang roared with laughter. ”Hahaha... Even with your heaven-defying powers, daring to come to the Sun Family means certain death!”

”Brother, I have avenged you!”

Just as Sun Yuanliang was savoring his victory, a voice drifted over.

”Aren’t you celebrating a bit too soon?” Chen Dong’s voice was nonchalant as he stood on another rooftop.

It turned out the lightning had only struck an afterimage.

A flicker of horror crossed Sun Yuanliang’s eyes. ’Someone can actually dodge lightning!’

He said coldly, ”You might have dodged one, but how many more can you evade?”

He raised the pearl in his hand high once more...

Chen Dong’s gaze was haughty as he said dismissively, ”Using an Array to call lightning... your Sun Family hasn’t grasped its essence in the slightest. And that Thunder Spirit Pearl in your hand is a complete waste of a treasure! For a lightning technique of this caliber, you still need to rely on an external tool?”

”Insolent brat! You’re at death’s door and still spouting such nonsense! Go to hell!”

With a furious roar, Sun Yuanliang made the Thunder Spirit Pearl in his hand flare with brilliant light, and another bolt of lightning crashed down toward Chen Dong.

Chen Dong’s expression was impassive. He faced the thunderbolt without flinching. The lightning struck him dead-on, and he was completely bathed in its raw power.

Sun Yuanliang laughed again. ”This time, you must be dead!”

When the lightning faded, Chen Dong was completely unharmed. Only a few sparks of static electricity danced across his body.

Sun Yuanliang’s face was a mask of terror. ’The lightning has no effect on him?’

Chen Dong sneered, ”I told you. Your Sun Family has no idea what it’s doing!”

After the first bolt, Chen Dong had already figured out how the Sun Family’s Array summoned lightning. In their hands, the Thunder Spirit Pearl was merely a catalyst, used to draw down Celestial Thunder with the Array as a foundation.

However, the thunder they drew down possessed less than a millionth of its true power; it was incredibly weak. While a single bolt would be enough to kill an ordinary Grandmaster, it couldn’t harm a single hair on Chen Dong’s head.

Sun Yuanliang was completely dumbfounded. The Sun Family’s greatest trump card had absolutely no effect on Chen Dong.

His eyes wide with disbelief, he raised the Thunder Spirit Pearl and called down the lightning once more.

The sky lit up as bright as day, and another bolt of lightning crashed down.

Chen Dong simply let it happen. To him, this incredibly weak lightning was a nourishing tonic; the more, the merrier.

The lightning struck Chen Dong again. He felt not a trace of pain, but rather a flicker of pleasure.

As the electric light faded, Chen Dong’s eyes brightened. ’Perhaps this is an opportunity. I’ve never quite grasped the knack of lightning techniques, and I’d never dare to face real Celestial Thunder. The power of this is just right. It’s perfect for me to gain some insight.’

And so, he taunted, ”Is that all you’ve got? You weakling!”
