My Ares Son-in-Law

"boom!"

The corpse fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately, he coldly looked at the remaining seven people, waved his hand casually, and a burst of flames rose up. The seven people were engulfed in flames and burned to death, turning into ashes in an instant.

Xiao Chen glanced coldly at the corpse: "I gave you a chance over the phone. If you had released him then, he might have survived."

Zhou Keying stared blankly at Xiao Chen, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a strange light.

As the eldest daughter of the Zhou family, she had seen countless talented young men, including many masters of ancient martial arts.

Yet no one could match the man before them in such ruthless decisiveness!
She suddenly remembered the wealthy young master from the capital city that her father insisted she marry into—a man hailed as a martial arts prodigy. How did he compare to Xiao Chen?

A strange expectation arose in his heart: if Xiao Chen could really stand up to the powerful families in the capital, would he be able to break free from this political marriage?
Over the days they spent together, she found Xiao Chen to be more captivating than any of the scions of wealthy families.

At least for now, he provides a sense of security that I've never felt before.

"Are you hurt?" Xiao Chen had already come up to her.

Zhou Keying gently shook her head.

"Let's go, a lot of people are looking for you." Xiao Chen's gaze turned cold as he turned around. The corpses outside the amusement park were obviously spies who had been searching earlier.

He quickly sent out several messages, notifying all parties to stop the search and to have the people from the Underworld come to clean up the mess.

These bodies will become important clues in the investigation of the mastermind behind it all.

No matter what forces are involved, he will uproot them completely!
“Xiao Chen,” Zhou Keying suddenly stopped, her eyes clear as stars, “Are you really a martial arts practitioner?”

Xiao Chen paused slightly: "You could say that."

He is a martial artist, but not quite, because he cultivates immortal power, which is on a completely different level from a martial artist. But there's no need to elaborate. Ancient martial arts are ancient martial arts; Zhou Keying wouldn't understand anyway.

"Have you heard of the Lü family in the capital?" She hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

Xiao Chen frowned: "No. Did they give you trouble? I wouldn't mind taking them out while I'm at it."

Zhou Keying was shocked upon hearing this and quickly waved her hand, saying, "No, I was just asking casually."

From childhood to the present, the name Lü family has haunted me like a nightmare.

It was a behemoth that even the Zhou family had to look up to.

Destroy the Lü family? That's utterly delusional.

This marriage is like a shackle; resistance will not only destroy oneself but also ruin the entire Zhou family.

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time..." she sighed to herself.

……

Meanwhile, at a mountain villa in the suburbs.

Yang Nantian and Lu Fengnan stared intently at the monitor screen, their faces ashen.

Fifteen experts at the Heavenly River Realm were no match for a single youth?
Absolutely ridiculous!
If this news gets out, the entire martial arts community in the western region will be shaken.

After a long silence, Yang Nantian spoke in a hoarse voice: "This boy's strength is at least enough to get him into the Heavenly River Ranking."

Lu Fengnan nodded slowly: "But judging from his moves, he seems to have relied entirely on brute force. I wonder if those trash were not worthy of his use of martial arts, or... if he simply doesn't know any martial arts?"

Yang Nantian tapped his knuckles on the monitor screen: "I still can't understand it. This kid's moves are fierce, but they have no structure whatsoever. At just over twenty years old, even if he started practicing martial arts from the womb, it's impossible for him to surpass us who have trained hard for decades!"

"Does Master Yang mean that he still wants to go to the Life and Death Platform?" Lu Fengnan frowned.

"Of course!" Yang Nantian's eyes surged with bloodlust. "He slaughtered my Yang family bloodline. If this grudge is not avenged, my martial arts heart will be tarnished! If we retreat today, who in the ancient city will still respect my Yang family tomorrow?"

He stared at the frozen figure of the young man and grinned maliciously: "I originally wanted to finish this quickly, but now I'll let him taste what it's like to have his tendons pulled out and his skin peeled off."

Lu Fengnan felt inexplicably uneasy, but still said, "Since Master Yang is determined, I will ask Senior Situ to preside over the refereeing. With him here, even if this kid has three heads and six arms, he can't turn the tide!" "Is that Senior Situ who was once listed on the Dragon Kingdom's Celestial Ranking?" Yang Nantian gasped.

“Exactly.” Lu Fengnan sneered. “I’d like to see how he dies!”

……

Villas in the ancient city.

As soon as Xiao Chen and Zhou Keying entered the room, the security door was suddenly pushed open.

Zhou Fenfang rushed in and grabbed Zhou Keying's shoulders: "Keying! Are you hurt anywhere? What happened?"

Zhou Keying broke free from her aunt's hand: "It's just a misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding?" Zhou Fenfang's sharp gaze swept over Xiao Chen. "A misunderstanding requires the use of sleeping pills? A misunderstanding requires breaking down doors and kidnapping people? Keying, since no one can protect you, come back to the ancestral home with me now! Your father has brought in top experts from the western region; they're more than enough to keep you safe!"

"I'm not leaving!" Zhou Keying said resolutely.

Zhou Fenfang tried to forcibly pull him away, but froze when she met Xiao Chen's eyes. The bloody smell that had filled the amusement park that day seemed to surge back, sending chills down her spine.

She softened her tone and said, "Next week is your birthday banquet. Come back with me for a few days first, and you can come back anytime after the banquet."

Seeing that her daughter's expression softened, she added another bargaining chip: "Your grandmother specially came back from Southeast Asia, don't you want to see her?"

"Grandma's back?" Zhou Keying's eyes lit up.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Zhou Keying hesitated and looked at Xiao Chen, but before she could speak, he said, "Go, and give my regards to the old man. I will come to see you in person on your birthday."

He had his reasons: the villa had already been exposed, and he couldn't follow Zhou Keying around the clock; the Zhou family ancestral home was safer. More importantly, he needed time to eliminate any potential threats at all.

Before leaving, Zhou Keying handed her a document: "The strategic plan of Xunjiang Group may be useful to you."

Although Xiao Chen wasn't a business savvy, he could still see the value of this plan. The Zhou family's leader in the Western Region was far more ruthless than any ordinary consultant.

As he was about to head to the company headquarters, a little boy with a runny nose appeared at the entrance, holding a lollipop in his hand.

"Mr. Xiao Chen? An elderly gentleman asked me to deliver this."

The child handed over the letter and skipped away.

Unfolding the Xuan paper, a murderous aura immediately assaults the senses:

"Those who harm the bloodline of my Yang family will meet again on the battlefield in three days. If you are afraid to fight, let's see how long you can protect those around you!"

Signed Yang Family, Yang Nantian!

Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold. Before his death, the direct descendant of the Yang family had boasted that the Zhongnan Holy Land had a powerful backer, and now the mastermind had finally revealed himself. The mastermind behind the kidnapping was now obvious; only a Celestial Realm expert could have acted so cleanly and efficiently.

"So I don't have to go looking for you." A ghostly blue flame rose from his fingertips, and the letter turned to ashes.

As she was going downstairs, the black sedan braked suddenly and pulled up. He Haiyue staggered out, shouting, "Mr. Xiao! Have you received the death warrant?"

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow and flicked the ashes in his hand: "You mean this?"

He Haiyue's face turned deathly pale: "The Yang family has already issued a challenge to the entire martial arts world! The Arena of Life and Death has not been opened for ten years, and those who step onto it either die or are crippled! They intend to kill you in public!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen remained unmoved, she said urgently, "The challenge can be refused! You have the Wang family's connections with the military, Yang Nantian wouldn't dare..."

"Why refuse?" Xiao Chen interrupted with a light laugh. "Since he's willing to die, I'll grant his wish."

He Haiyue stamped her foot in frustration: "You have no idea how powerful Yang Nantian is! He entered the Celestial Realm twenty years ago and secluded himself in the Zhongnan Sacred Land to cultivate secret martial arts! Even my father said he couldn't withstand three of his moves!"

She grabbed Xiao Chen's sleeve: "Your life is at stake, you mustn't act impulsively!" (End of Chapter)
