My Ares Son-in-Law

Time seemed to have been paused by an invisible hand.

Everything around us froze, and even the air seemed to solidify.

The sneers and ruthlessness on the faces of the two bodyguards suddenly froze, as if they had been frozen in place. Their bodies remained in an attacking posture, but they could no longer move forward an inch.

Instead, they were filled with boundless horror and unbelievable fear. Their eyes were wide open, filled with shock and panic, as if they had witnessed the most incredible thing in the world.

They felt their raging power, like a surging tide, crashing against an invisible, indestructible wall of sighs with overwhelming force!

The wall remained as solid as a mountain, unmoved no matter how fiercely they attacked it.

Not only that, they could not advance an inch. An overwhelming, chilling, and terrifying force, like a cold tide surging from the deepest abyss, came back to them instantly, carrying a bone-chilling cold and endless pressure.

This force surged up their arms and legs, and wherever it went, it felt as if thousands of ice needles were piercing them at the same time, instantly freezing their muscles and making their once powerful bodies as stiff as stone; freezing their blood, making the blood flow in their blood vessels almost stop; even... freezing their souls, plunging their consciousness into a cold chaos.

Their bodies were completely out of their control at that moment!
It was as if I was bound tightly by countless invisible steel cables from all directions, every joint and every muscle was tightly bound and nailed to the spot!

They struggled with all their might, trying to break free from these invisible shackles, but they couldn't even move a finger, and could only watch helplessly as that terrifying power raged through their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, the man they regarded as an ant, like a king slowly awakening from his slumber, slowly raised his head.

His movements were calm and composed, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Eyes facing each other.

Om-!
In that instant, the two bodyguards felt as if they had been hit hard by a hammer, their thoughts stopped and their vision went blank!
They seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, where everything around them disappeared, leaving only those two eyes.

There was no anger, no murderous intent, and not even any human emotion in those eyes.

There was only a boundless, ancient, and icy wasteland, a vast expanse filled with an aura of deathly stillness, as if time itself had stopped there.

On the wasteland lay mountains of bones, each unique in shape, some still bearing traces of their struggles in life, as if telling tales of past pain and despair; the setting sun was stained blood, like a giant sphere of blood, radiating an eerie and terrifying light that dyed the entire wasteland crimson; countless souls wailed silently, their cries seemingly coming from afar yet clearly reaching their ears, making their very souls tremble!

Those were eyes that had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, from the depths of hell!

It is the eye of a arbiter who disregards all life and controls life and death!
It was as if, in the face of those eyes, everything else became insignificant, and life and death were merely a matter of a single thought for him.

icy!

It's bone-chilling!

despair!

fear!

A torrent of negative emotions overwhelmed them instantly.

They felt like the most insignificant insects, being stared at by a primordial behemoth at the top of the food chain, a behemoth that could crush them with the slightest movement.

An irresistible, primal fear gripped their hearts in an instant!

The fear, like a cold, venomous snake, coiled tightly around their hearts, almost stopping them from beating. It chilled them to the bone, as if they were in an ice cellar; their blood ran cold, their limbs went numb, and even breathing became incredibly difficult!

Each breath felt like inhaling a cold blade, cutting my throat painfully.

They felt as if they were not facing a person, but a death god from hell!

A single thought could condemn them to eternal damnation, plunging them into that endless abyss of darkness, never to be reborn!

"Little...Miss..."

One of them forced out a sound with difficulty; the sound was dry and hoarse, like a broken bellows whistling, each syllable sounding as if it had used up all his strength.

He was filled with anxiety, wanting to call for help, wanting to shout at Chen Ziyan to run, to tell her that the man in front of them was not someone they could handle, and that if they didn't escape, they would all be doomed!
However, immense fear, like an invisible hand, gripped his vocal cords tightly, making his throat feel as if something was blocking it, leaving him only able to utter these meaningless, intermittent syllables.

Large beads of sweat rolled down their pale foreheads like beads from a broken string.

Sweat streamed down their faces, soaking their collars, but they were completely unaware.

Their bodies trembled violently from extreme fear, like fallen leaves shivering in the autumn wind; their legs were weak, and they could barely stand.

Every muscle was spasming uncontrollably, as if an invisible electric current was running rampant through their bodies, causing them unbearable pain.

"Useless trash! What are you doing?! Move him now! Take him down!"

Chen Ziyan was completely bewildered by the bodyguard's reaction and was utterly dumbfounded.

She was used to being pampered and spoiled, and the people around her obeyed her every command. She was completely unaware of the invisible, suffocating, terrifying aura that enveloped the entire space like an invisible giant net.

She felt that these two usually imposing and arrogant experts were now like two ridiculous statues, standing there blankly staring at Xiao Chen. In her opinion, this was an utter disgrace!
It is a blatant disregard for her authority!

She was trembling with rage, her hands clenched into fists so tightly that her nails dug into her flesh, her voice so shrill it could pierce eardrums, as if she wanted to turn that shrill voice into a sharp blade and shatter the scene that enraged her.

The only response she received was deathly silence.

The silence was like that of a tomb in the dead of night, eerie and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.

All sounds around disappeared, as if time itself had frozen at that moment.

Just then, Xiao Chen's icy, emotionless voice, like the tolling of a judgment bell, rang out once more:

"Kneel down."

These two words, short and powerful, seem to contain the power of the laws of heaven and earth, carrying an unquestionable will.

Like two invisible giant hammers, they slammed into the minds of the two bodyguards with overwhelming force!

It was like a divine decree from the highest heavens, carrying an aura of mystery and majesty, directly imprinted upon the depths of their souls! (End of Chapter)
