My Ares Son-in-Law

Sun Chengye was originally leaning on a carved mahogany chair, but when he heard Shen Huo's words, his whole body shuddered as if he was struck by an invisible electric current.

He stood up hurriedly, rubbing his hands subconsciously on the corners of his clothes, with a flattering smile on his face, and said respectfully: "Don't worry, senior, I will go all out in the competition the day after tomorrow, and I will definitely not let you down!"

His voice trembled slightly, with a hint of deliberate firmness, as if he was swearing his determination to Shen Huo.

When Shen Huo heard this, a meaningful smile emerged on his face. That smile was like the crescent moon in the night sky, seemingly gentle but concealing a sharp edge.

"That kid is still young after all. Even if he enters the Tianhe realm, I think it won't take long. Compared with you, a veteran who has been immersed in this realm for many years, he is naturally far behind."

Shen Huo narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of sinisterness flashed in his eyes, "However, Sun Chengye, you must not be merciful. If you can kill him on the spot, never leave him alive; if you can't kill him for the time being, then destroy his cultivation and make him live a life worse than death, understand?"

The muscles on Sun Chengye's face twisted, revealing a hideous grin, as if a wolf had smelled the blood of its prey.

"Don't worry, senior. I hate Xiao Chen to the core! It was him who caused our Sun family to fall into this hopeless situation. Our past glory was wiped out, and the family suffered heavy casualties. I will make him pay for this blood debt with blood!"

He clenched his fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, oozing blood. "Just wait and hear my good news!"

Shen Lingling, who was standing aside, was wearing a fiery red dress, like a burning flame.

Her eyebrows were raised, her eyes flashed with resentment, and she couldn't help but shout in a delicate voice: "Old Sun, please don't let him die too easily. I can't swallow this anger if I send him to death so easily. I want him to understand the consequences of offending me and the Oracle Sect in endless pain!"

Shen Lingling stomped her feet, and the jade pendant on her waist swayed gently with her movements, making a crisp sound.

"Don't worry, Miss Shen!" Sun Chengye nodded and bowed hurriedly, with an increasingly flattering look on his face. "I will not let him die too easily. I will make him wish he could neither live nor die!"

Sun Chengye's eyes flashed with anxiety. He licked his cracked lips and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I have to go back to retreat and break through. I will be able to break through to the high level of Tianhe Realm in the next two days. Then my chances of winning will be even greater!"

"Okay! Take this dagger!" Shen Huo reached into his bosom and pulled out a dagger that looked like it was carved from colored glass. Under the light, the dagger emitted a cold light, as if it was a messenger from hell.

"I asked you to participate in this matter to ensure that everything goes well and to increase your chances of winning. This dagger is called the True Fire Dagger, and I went to great lengths to obtain it from the Holy Land."

Shen Huo handed the dagger to Sun Chengye and said solemnly, "Once you inject your internal energy into it, it will release a terrifying flame that can melt everything, with a temperature of thousands of degrees. No matter how strong Xiao Chen is, he will die in front of this magical weapon!"

Sun Chengye's hands were shaking violently as if sifting chaff, and he slowly took over the true fire dagger that emitted a cold light.

He rolled his throat a few times with difficulty, and his voice became hoarse due to excitement. "Thank you, senior, for giving me such a magical weapon!" These few short words seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His eyes were wide open, staring at the dagger in his hand, greed and excitement intertwined in his eyes, like two burning flames.

At this moment, Sun Chengye's mind flashed quickly with the elixir given by Yin Zhong of the Divine Society. Although the elixir was precious, it could only be used in a life-or-death situation, like a life-saving straw, and it must not be used unless it was absolutely necessary.

But this True Fire Dagger is completely different. It is like a master key. In a fierce battle, it can exert its deadly power at any time and inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

When he thought of this, Sun Chengye felt a warm current rushing from the soles of his feet to his forehead. The blood in his body began to boil, and his confidence in the competition the day after tomorrow grew like bamboo shoots after rain.

He carefully put the dagger into his arms, and gently stroked the place where the dagger was hidden with his fingertips, as if he was touching a rare treasure. Then, Sun Chengye turned and left. The originally dim corridor was now as bright as day in his eyes.

His steps were brisk and powerful, and each step made a loud sound, as if he was announcing his success to the world. Even his spine was straight, like a pine tree, full of confidence and arrogance.

As he walked, he secretly planned the scene of the martial arts competition the day after tomorrow: Xiao Chen would be defeated under his attack, and he would hold the true fire dagger in his hand, like a god of war, to give Xiao Chen a fatal blow... Thinking of this, Sun Chengye's mouth corners unconsciously rose, revealing a hideous smile.

……

When the others left Huang Jian's spacious and magnificent residence one after another, the night had already covered the entire city like a huge black curtain. However, Xiao Chen had no intention of leaving. He stood upright in the middle of the living room, like a pine tree that would never fall.

"The living environment there is really unsatisfactory, so I'll stay at your place tonight." Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a casual smile. He then leaned lazily on the soft leather sofa, picked up a peeled apple, and started to take a big bite. The juice slowly dripped from the corners of his mouth.

"It's up to you. If you feel any inconvenience, I can move out at any time." Huang Jian had a humble smile on his face, bowed slightly, and his words were full of respect.

"That's not necessary!" Xiao Chen waved his hand casually, his eyes sharp and sharp.

"By the way, my original intention of coming here this time was not for the martial arts meeting, but for the Hero Valley. When I was in East City, I got a precious map, which showed that there had been many secret transactions between the Amei Group and the Hero Valley, but the content of the transactions was unknown. I suspect that there may be a close connection with the Prison Clan behind this."

"What a coincidence!" A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Jian's eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter. "Originally, I didn't take this martial arts meeting seriously, and I just sent someone to deal with it. But after much investigation, I found that Huang Tianba, the owner of Haohan Valley, has a close relationship with the Prison Clan, so I came here to investigate in person."

"That's good. Let's split up and collect intelligence on our own, and then summarize and analyze it in the end. Maybe we can uncover the truth behind it." Xiao Chen chuckled and looked towards the square not far from the window.

The lights there were bright, just like daytime, and a group of people sat together, toasting each other, laughing and talking, and it was very lively. (End of this chapter)
