My Ares Son-in-Law

"My father is ranked 98th on the Heavenly River Ranking!"

"Killing me is tantamount to completely offending my father, Lu Qingtian!"

"We've offended the entire Lu family of the ancient city!"

"You and everyone around you will die a horrible death!!"

Lu Haoxuan continued to threaten, thinking that by invoking his father's name and the Lu family's power, he could make Xiao Chen think twice.

His voice was completely distorted by extreme fear; what was once a clear voice was now sharp and piercing, like the mournful howl of an owl.

He was practically screaming, each word seemingly forced out from the depths of his throat, carrying a kind of reckless madness.

He strained with all his might, trying to attract the attention of any passersby outside by making the loudest noise possible. His eyes were fixed on his surroundings, hoping that someone would suddenly appear and rescue him from this terrible threat of death.

His eyes were filled with desperate pleading, as if he would pay any price to save him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's originally calm brows furrowed slightly, forming a shallow furrow.

A hint of doubt and contemplation flashed in his eyes. The Dragon Kingdom's Heavenly River Ranking?

Still ranked 98th?
In his memory, there weren't nearly as many experts in the Heavenly River Realm of the Dragon Kingdom before.

Back then, martial artists who could reach the Tongtian Realm were extremely rare, each one like a figure from mythology, inspiring awe and reverence.

But nowadays, has the development of secular martial arts really been so rapid?

This gave him a new understanding of the current landscape of martial arts.

Seeing Xiao Chen frown, Lu Haoxuan felt an overwhelming surge of joy. He thought his threat had finally worked and the other party was finally afraid.

Yes!

In the ancient city and even the entire western region, his father Lu Qingtian's name was renowned far and wide; which martial artist wouldn't show him awe and respect?

The martial artists from those small families didn't dare to breathe loudly when they saw his father; they could only grovel and fawn over him.

Thinking of this, the fear in his heart subsided slightly, replaced by a twisted hope and his usual arrogance.

He puffed out his chest slightly, raised his chin high, and spoke in an almost commanding tone:

"Since...since you're scared now!"

Why did you have to cut off my arm?!

The voice carried a hint of accusation, as if Xiao Chen had done something unforgivable.

"Given my father's methods and temper, if he knew you treated me like this... Humph!"

Lu Haoxuan snorted coldly, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"I guarantee that everyone around you will be tortured to death by him in the most cruel way!"

"Cutting off their hands and feet is too lenient!"

"He might lock them in a dark, sunless dungeon and torture them every day with all sorts of instruments of torture, making them wish they were dead!"

A cruel smile appeared on his face, as if he could already see the scene of Xiao Chen's people struggling in pain.

"My father's strength ranks at least in the top ten in the entire ancient city!"

"What do you have to fight him with!"

"What makes you think you can fight me?!"

He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his body trembling uncontrollably, his hands flailing wildly in the air as if trying to vent all the humiliation and fear he had just suffered. His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, making him look like a crazed beast trying to break down Xiao Chen's mental defenses with his words.

"Are you done?"

Just as Lu Haoxuan was still frantically venting his inner fear and anger, his hysterical roar echoing in the small space, a cold, emotionless voice, like a sharp ice pick, pierced his eardrums, instantly interrupting his out-of-control roar.

The voice was so cold it seemed to freeze the surrounding air, causing Lu Haoxuan to shiver.

Lu Haoxuan was stunned. He stood there frozen in place, as if he had been frozen in place, not yet understanding the sudden change.

His eyes were filled with confusion and astonishment, his mouth was slightly open but he couldn't make a sound, as if time had stood still at that moment.

Immediately afterwards, another voice, as if from the deepest hell, slowly rang out. The voice was low and sinister, seemingly carrying endless resentment and killing intent:
"Lu Qingtian?"

"And what is he anyway?"

"If he dares to be so reckless as to cause me trouble, I don't mind sending him down to keep you company."

The voice, like the whisper of a demon, echoed in Lu Haoxuan's ears, causing his heart to clench and fear to overwhelm him once again.

The next second, a powerful hand, like an iron clamp, gripped Lu Haoxuan's neck.

The strength of that huge hand was astonishing; it lifted him off the ground!
Lu Haoxuan's legs kicked wildly in the air, completely ignoring the short knife still embedded in his leg. As he struggled, the knife twisted in his flesh, causing secondary injuries. Blood gushed out, staining his trouser leg red. But he couldn't care less about the pain at the moment, because the suffocating feeling in his neck made it almost impossible for him to think.

"Bam—!"

With a muffled thud, Xiao Chen slammed Lu Haoxuan's body against the cold, hard wall like throwing away trash!

The enormous impact was like a heavy hammer blow, making Lu Haoxuan feel like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart!
His back slammed violently against the wall with a dull thud, and his internal organs felt as if they had shifted. The excruciating pain made him let out a scream.

"Aaaaah! You beast! You damned beast!"

"I am going to kill you!"

"I'll kill your whole family!"

"what--!"

Lu Haoxuan completely broke down. His reason was completely consumed by pain and fear, and he cursed and roared madly.

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, the muscles in his face were contorted and deformed, and spittle flew everywhere with his roar.

"Crack!"

Xiao Chen's eyes were icy cold, and his five fingers suddenly exerted force!
The immense force caused Lu Haoxuan's neck to emit a teeth-grinding groan, as if it were about to be crushed in the next second!

At this moment, Lu Haoxuan truly experienced what it meant to be worse than dead!

His face was contorted and grotesque from pain and lack of oxygen, and his once handsome features now resembled those of a demon.

His hands weakly clawed at Xiao Chen's arm, trying to break free from this fatal restraint, but all in vain.

His eyes were filled with endless fear, a deep dread of death, as if he could see himself about to fall into an endless abyss of darkness, never to be reborn.

He felt a sudden buzzing in his head, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his blood seemed to freeze.

At this moment, he finally realized that what he had encountered was not an ordinary martial artist who followed the rules of martial arts and had the demeanor of a martial artist, but a devil who had crawled out of the deepest hell!

A cold-blooded demon who is completely unthreatened and doesn't play by the rules!

This demon acts without restraint, completely disregarding the power behind him and showing no fear of the potential retaliation from his father. (End of Chapter)
