My Ares Son-in-Law

Ever since Zhou Hongyan mentioned Xiao Chen to Huang Tian, ​​Li Can, Huang Tian's capable subordinate, has developed a strong interest in this young man who suddenly appeared in the ancient city and caused quite a stir.

He knew that behind this seemingly peaceful world lay countless unknown secrets and dangers, and Xiao Chen was likely one of the key figures in it.

In order to get a close look at his background, Li Can decided to take matters into his own hands and not miss any details.

Before arriving in the ancient city, Li Can repeatedly studied the two on-site videos provided by Zhou Hongyan.

In the video, Xiao Chen's figure is sometimes blurry and sometimes clear, but each appearance carries an elusive sense of mystery.

Li Can stared intently at the screen, not blinking, not missing a single movement or expression from Xiao Chen.

Through repeated observation and analysis, he initially judged that this person was extremely dangerous, and that his strength was likely beyond that of an ordinary martial artist, having entered the realm of a Dragon Vein martial artist.

Dragon Vein Warriors are among the top in the martial arts world, possessing power and speed beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Every move they make can cause a huge uproar.

Li Can couldn't help but feel more wary and attentive to Xiao Chen.

However, reality greatly disappointed him.

In order to observe Xiao Chen more comprehensively and accurately, Li Can used state-of-the-art equipment to conduct remote observation of him for nearly a whole night.

He sat in the dimly lit room, surrounded by various sophisticated instruments and equipment, his eyes fixed on the lens of the telescope, as if trying to see right through Xiao Chen.

However, the images captured through his telescope lens throughout the entire night left him feeling utterly helpless and speechless.

The scene was filled with images of Xiao Chen vying for food with two women at the dinner table, occasionally flashing a satisfied, silly grin...

Xiao Chen completely disregarded his image, stretching out his arm to grab his favorite dishes while muttering some incomprehensible words.

His satisfied smile was like that of a child who had received a beloved toy, innocent and pure.

The image of the powerful, aloof, and mysterious Dragon Vein warrior that Li Can had imagined was completely different from what he had imagined.

This left Li Can speechless. He couldn't help but mentally complain: Can't a guy who seems to be a strong person at least act like one in his daily life?

Even just pretending would be fine!

What kind of strongman is this, spending all his time fighting with women for food and laughing so foolishly?

He shook his head helplessly, his doubts about Xiao Chen deepening.

If Xiao Chen were thrown into a crowded street right now, absolutely no one would give him a second glance.

He wore ordinary clothes, had an ordinary hairstyle, and wore an ordinary smile; he was as ordinary as could be.

Like a drop of water merging into the ocean, it will be instantly submerged by the crowd, leaving no trace.

"Could it be that I misjudged tonight and wasted all this effort?" Li Can muttered to himself with a gloomy expression, his voice filled with frustration and resentment.

His brows were tightly furrowed, like two insurmountable mountains, and several deep wrinkles appeared on his forehead.

He bent slightly, steadily lifting the heavy silver metal equipment case at his feet. The case's surface gleamed coldly in the dim light, as if telling of the danger and power it carried. Li Can slowly turned around, his steps heavy and deliberate, seemingly intending to leave this place that had disappointed him.

However, in that instant, an extremely subtle yet chilling killing intent spread out without warning.

This murderous intent was like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, silently flicking its tongue, instantly locking onto his back!

Li Can felt a chill run down his back, as if countless icy needles were piercing his skin at the same time, making all the hairs on his body stand on end instantly.

He looked up abruptly, his pupils contracting to the size of pinpoints.

In that instant, his gaze became incredibly sharp, as if it could pierce through the darkness before him.

In sight, a pair of hands with distinct knuckles and terrifying power silently gripped the cold, rusty iron railing at the edge of the rooftop!
Those hands were like two sharp iron clamps, gripping the railing tightly. The fingernails were slightly white from the force, and the joints were bulging from the immense power, as if they were about to burst through the skin.

The next instant, a sickening metallic creak pierced the night sky!
The sound was sharp and piercing, like a wild beast trapped in a cage howling in pain.

The reinforced railings, which were strong enough to withstand several tons of weight, were bent and deformed like soft mud under the enormous force of those hands!

Rust fell down in a rustling sound, drifting in the night wind, as if it were the prelude to a bloody rain.

Using this force, a dark figure, like a ferocious beast breaking free from the earth's restraints, swaggered up the eighty-meter-high rooftop with a ferocious posture that almost defied the laws of physics!

The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly. One could only feel a dark shadow flash past, like a black lightning bolt tearing through the night sky.

His movements were fluid and powerful, each one brimming with explosive force, as if containing boundless power.

"A master! A top-notch master!" The moment this thought exploded in Li Can's mind, his body instinctively tensed up, and all the muscles in his body were on high alert.

Before the dark figure could even stand firmly, it left only a slowly dissipating afterimage!

The afterimage swayed slightly in the night wind, like a ghost wandering around.

The surrounding airflow was violently churned and compressed, emitting a mournful wail like that of a ghost!

The sound was shrill and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.

The figure had actually broken through the spatial limitations and appeared out of thin air less than a meter in front of him!
Li Can felt an overwhelming sense of oppression wash over him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

An overwhelming and terrifying force, capable of tearing everything apart, swept in like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly erupting!

The energy surged towards him like a raging tide, with overwhelming force.

Li Can felt as if his body was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he could be crushed to pieces at any moment.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at the dark figure before him, his heart filled with vigilance and shock, wondering what the purpose of this suddenly appearing master was.

The air seemed to be instantly sucked away by an invisible and enormous hand, and the surroundings fell into a suffocating stillness.

The previously invisible magnetic field now became chaotic and heavy, as if countless invisible hands were squeezing in from all directions, making it hard to breathe. Every breath became incredibly difficult, as if trying to expel all the air from one's chest. (End of Chapter)
