My Ares Son-in-Law

What's most striking are those eyes... Even in a static simulation, they exude an icy chill that keeps people at arm's length, and an extreme arrogance that looks down on all living beings, as if all things in the world are nothing more than straw dogs to be trampled on at will.

Xiao Chen's fingertips trembled almost imperceptibly.

picture!
so similar!
This is practically a carbon copy of him before he cultivated the War God Technique and before he reversed his aging! Even the deep-seated indifference between his brows is nine-tenths similar!

what is happening?
“Our bioinformatics experts have conducted a preliminary comparative analysis.” Zhuang Yuan keenly noticed Xiao Chen’s subtle changes and his tone became increasingly cautious. “Judging from the facial bone structure and the degree of overlap of key feature points, there is a greater than 90% possibility that this person is related to you by blood.”

Xiao Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and the air around him seemed to freeze instantly.

"name."

He parted his thin lips slightly, uttering only two words. His voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it was like a cold front passing through, causing the temperature inside the car to drop sharply, and even the hum of the instruments seemed to become somewhat sluggish.

Zhuang Yuan took a deep breath, as if gathering immense courage: "We used the highest-level databases of the Garrison Command and the Underworld Palace for cross-comparison, and finally only found a code-like name... Xiao Shenwang."

"King Xiao..."

Xiao Chen read it aloud softly, a hint of undisguised astonishment flashing in his eyes... This can actually be considered a name?
He raised his eyes, his gaze like a tangible ice spike, piercing straight at Zhuang Yuan: "Is this a name?"

Zhuang Yuan instantly felt a suffocating pressure, cold sweat pouring down his back. He forced himself to explain, "Yes. Apart from that, all the information... age, place of origin, resume, social relationships, video records... is completely blank!"

"We tried to investigate through non-public channels, underground information networks, and even overseas intelligence networks, but the results were still nothing."

He spoke rapidly, his tone tinged with disbelief, "This person's existence was completely 'erased,' or rather, 'completely shielded' by an unfathomable force! The only thing capable of this..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear... In the Dragon Kingdom, there are very few forces that possess this level of information blocking capability.

Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes.

Beijing.

A mysterious person who bears a striking resemblance to him, shares the same surname, and is highly likely to be related by blood.

He was certain he had never had such a relative. What unspeakable secret lay behind this?

An invisible shadow quietly loomed overhead, pressing down so heavily it was hard to breathe.

A vast, shrouded web of mystery seems to be gradually revealing its menacing outline as he investigates. And at the center of this web lies the capital city… the place where he once lived, fought, and where countless memories were buried.

Who is this person?

What is he hiding?
Why do they look so similar to me?
What role does this "Xiao Shenwang" play in this game of chess?
Countless questions churned in his mind, while the ferocious aura that had been dormant deep within his bloodline and slightly stirred by the massacre of the entire Qingyang Sword Sect was now spreading wildly and uncontrollably like a primordial beast breaking free of its shackles!
That was not the killing intent of an ordinary martial artist, but a more ancient, more violent "evil" originating from the primordial chaos!
"Boom!" An invisible shockwave exploded inside the carriage!

The screens of all the precision electronic instruments inside the car were instantly filled with chaotic snowflakes, emitting a sharp buzzing sound, as if they were about to overload and collapse; the surface of the specially made bulletproof glass windows crackled, and fine cracks spread rapidly like a spider web; even the high-strength alloy plates of the car's interior walls trembled slightly under this terrifying "evil" aura!
Zhuang Yuan and Li Can instantly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their faces turning ashen, and their blood seemed to freeze!
They felt as if they had been thrown into a raging, primordial ocean, with invisible malevolent energy pressing in from all directions, frantically eroding their will, choking their throats, and almost stopping their heartbeats!

It felt as if thousands of steel needles were piercing his limbs and bones, and he couldn't even move his fingers. He could only watch helplessly as his life force rapidly drained away under this terrifying pressure!
This is not the intimidating aura of a martial artist!

This is... divine punishment descending upon the world!
Or perhaps, a demon god has descended to earth!

Inside the car, a suffocating silence lasted for a full ten seconds.

Those ten seconds felt like an eternity to Zhuang Yuan and Li Can.

Li Can's face had long since turned from deathly pale to bluish-purple, his eyes were bloodshot and bulged slightly like a dying fish, a hoarse sound came from his throat, his fingers spasmed and scratched at the air, his nails dug into his palms and drew blood, but he couldn't even make a complete sound, his life was slipping away at a visible speed.

Zhuang Yuan, standing beside him, fared slightly better, but he too had already reached his limit. His vision blurred, his eyes distorted into vortexes, and a thousand buzzing sounds seemed to vibrate his eardrums, causing excruciating pain. His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, each beat accompanied by a tearing pain, as if it were about to explode at any moment!

Just as the two were about to give up and their consciousness was on the verge of collapse, the terrifying "evil" aura that almost froze their souls and crushed their bones suddenly receded without warning, like the tide going out!

“Cough…cough cough cough!!”

Li Can suddenly arched his back and burst into a heart-wrenching cough, saliva mixed with blood splattering onto the cold workbench, his chest heaving violently as if he were coughing up his lungs.

Zhuang Yuan was also panting heavily, cold sweat instantly soaking through his combat uniform on his back, running down his spine, leaving his back icy cold.

He turned his head with difficulty to look at the solitary figure in the front seat, his eyes filled with the shock of surviving a disaster, and a deeper, purer awe than before... It was absolute submission to an incomprehensible supreme power.

That was an aura that no human could possess... at least, it wasn't within the scope of any "martial artist" or "strong person" in their understanding.

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. The dark and deep aura in his eyes that could devour starlight had subsided, leaving only his usual cold indifference, as if the earth-shattering "evil" intent from just now had never appeared.

"I was lost in thought."

His voice was flat and emotionless, without a trace of apology, as if he were merely stating a trivial fact such as "the weather is gloomy today."

Zhuang Yuan and Li Can dared not utter a single complaint. They quickly waved their hands and hoarsely squeezed out the words "It's alright," but in their hearts, a tidal wave of emotions surged.

Was it just a fleeting glimpse of his aura, unintentionally released while he was "lost in thought," that nearly killed these two battle-hardened, death-and-death core members of the garrison? Just how terrifying is this "Mr. Xiao's" background?
"You just said that information is completely protected. What does that usually mean?"

Xiao Chen spoke again, his voice still calm, yet carrying an undeniable penetrating power that instantly steered the conversation back on track, interrupting their train of thought. (End of Chapter)
