My Ares Son-in-Law

Twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the villa complex.

Xiao Chen paid the fare and was about to step into the villa when his eyes suddenly turned cold!
A subtle aura lurked in the shadows of the villa, carrying a faint killing intent!
Almost instinctively, he instantly condensed divine energy between his fingers, and an invisible wind blade shot out, heading straight for the location of the shadow!
"You were so gentle and caring to her yesterday, and now you want to kill her to silence her?"

A clear, cold female voice, like jade striking against jade, came from the villa's living room, tinged with a hint of mockery.

Xiao Chen turned his head and saw a woman in white sitting on the sofa, none other than Su Yu. She raised her hand and waved it lightly, effortlessly dissolving the wind blade containing divine energy into nothingness. Her movements were calm and graceful, as if she had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

This girl is stronger than he expected.

Although he hadn't used his full strength in that wind blade, it still contained three-tenths of its power, enough to severely injure a Heavenly River Realm martial artist. Yet Su Yu was able to neutralize it so easily, meaning her strength was at least a few levels greater than that old fellow Situ Xiong, and she might even have touched the threshold of the late Heavenly Human Realm.

Xiao Chen walked to the opposite sofa and sat down, calmly looking at Su Yu.

Today she wore a white outfit that accentuated her shapely figure. The simple attire exuded a cool and aloof temperament, like a plum blossom in the snow, solitary and resilient.

"What are you doing here again if you have nothing to do?" Xiao Chen asked in a flat tone, without any emotion.

He harbored no ill will towards Su Yu, but he didn't particularly like her either. He never judged others by their appearance, and even if Su Yu was stunningly beautiful, it wouldn't necessarily make him look at her differently.

Su Yu raised the corners of her lips slightly, stood up, and looked down at him with clear and firm eyes: "I, Su Yu, never owe anyone favors. You saved me once in the Ancient Sea Secret Realm, so I owe you my life."

She paused, then said firmly, "I'm here today to return this life to you."

Su Yu swiped her finger across the phone screen and tapped on an encrypted recording.

Without any unnecessary build-up, the ten-second conversation, laced with chilling ruthlessness, echoed clearly in the empty living room.

"Target: Xiao Chen. Deadline: Before midnight tonight. Price: 30 million, to be paid in full by the Lü family in advance."

"The Blood Demon Order has been issued; it's a fight to the death."

The recording abruptly stopped, but the lingering sound seemed to still be echoing in the air.

Su Yu put away her phone, looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with a hint of inquiry and amusement: "I'm getting more and more curious. The Lü family is actually willing to pay a sky-high price of 30 million to kill you. That's the price that can hire a silver-level assassin from the Blood Demon Society."

“I wasn’t planning on taking this job,” she said casually, as if it were nothing important, “but when I saw that the target was you, I killed another idiot who took the job and used his body to cover for you.”

She paused, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Does this count as repaying the debt of saving my life in the Ancient Sea Secret Realm?"

He had expected to see some gratitude or apprehension from Xiao Chen, but instead, Xiao Chen slowly shook his head, his fingertips tapping casually on the sofa armrest, his voice suddenly turning cold, devoid of any warmth:
"Su Yu, you've got one thing wrong."

"It's not the Lü family that wants to kill me, it's me who wants to destroy the Lü family."

"As for the Blood Demon Society..."

He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze like a blade tempered with ice, piercing straight at Su Yu:

"If you dare to take this job, I don't mind having the Blood Demon Society removed from the martial arts world tonight." Su Yu was stunned, the playful look on his face instantly freezing, replaced by an extremely strange expression.

This person... actually turned around and threatened the Blood Demon Society?

That's the number one assassin organization in the martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom! It has a deep foundation and countless experts. As long as the price is right, they dare to assassinate even the top experts on the Heavenly Ranking! Countless martial arts families and hidden sects avoid it like the plague. Anyone who messes with the Blood Demon Society will only face death, and they may not even be found in the ashes!
"Xiao Chen, I'm saving you." Su Yu's voice turned serious, her tone tinged with grave. "The Blood Demon Society is not something you can afford to offend. Below the Silver-ranked assassins are the Gold-ranked, Ace-ranked, and even the legendary Blood Demon Guards. Even the Celestial Realm is nothing to them!"

"help me?"

Xiao Chen suddenly turned his head, his gaze precisely locking onto the inconspicuous black sedan on the street corner outside the villa, a cold smile curving his lips: "No need."

Before he finished speaking, his figure suddenly became ethereal, leaving behind a faint ink-like afterimage!
"boom,!"

With a deafening roar, the black sedan was struck as if by a heavy artillery shell. Its body twisted and exploded instantly, and metal fragments flew everywhere with a piercing whistle, while flames shot up half a meter high!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a dark figure leaped out from the exploded vehicle. It was a man completely wrapped in black, his face covered with a mask, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes.

He clearly hadn't expected his infiltration to be exposed on the spot, but his reaction was incredibly fast. The short knife in his hand was suddenly drawn, its cold light flashing with a poisoned blue luster, and it was aimed straight at Xiao Chen's vital heart!

But Xiao Chen was faster than him!
Before the blade even got close, Xiao Chen's five fingers, as if forged from black iron, precisely gripped the opponent's throat, and when he exerted force with his knuckles, a crisp sound of bones rubbing together could be heard!

"boom!"

The man in black was slammed hard onto the bluestone slab in front of the villa. The dull thud shook the ground slightly, and blood instantly gushed from his mouth and nose, staining a large area of ​​the slab red. His life force instantly weakened.

Xiao Chen shook the blood off his hands, turned around and looked at Su Yu in the living room, his expression as calm as if he had just stepped on an ant.

Su Yu stood there, her face slightly pale, her fingers unconsciously clenching. She hadn't even noticed that there was someone hiding in the car! This was a silver-ranked assassin from the Blood Demon Society, whose ability to conceal his presence was top-notch. Even she hadn't noticed him. How did Xiao Chen discover him so soon after arriving at the villa?
“Remember,” Xiao Chen’s voice was calm, yet every word was like ice, striking people’s hearts, “This is the first time. Go back and tell your Blood Demon Society’s leader not to mess with me. In this world, there are some people you can mess with, but there are others, and once you anger them, the consequences are beyond your ability to bear.”

Su Yu's expression changed drastically!

She stared intently at the blood-soaked man on the ground, her gaze falling on the faintly visible blood-red skull tattoo under his collar—the exclusive mark of a silver-ranked assassin of the Blood Demon Society!

They really are members of the Blood Demon Society!

The Lü family actually placed a double bounty! In addition to the job she took, they also hired a silver-ranked assassin to lie in wait here and take Xiao Chen's life!

What alarmed her even more was that Xiao Chen's perception was so terrifying that he could easily see through the Blood Demon Society's concealment technique!

"Cough...cough..."

The man in black on the ground coughed up a mouthful of black blood, his eyes flashing with extreme resentment. Despite the excruciating pain, he flipped his wrist, gripped the short knife in reverse, and used the momentum of his fall to stab straight at Xiao Chen's ankle, the blade still tinged with a deadly, eerie blue!
Xiao Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, but instead lifted his foot and landed.

"Crack!"

The sharp, piercing sound of bones cracking was deafening; the man's shinbone was instantly broken, twisted into a bizarre angle! (End of Chapter)
