My Ares Son-in-Law

Yun Miao's face was ashen, her breathing weak, and her lips cracked. Yun Jingtian also suffered serious internal injuries and was pale. As for Yun Yuyan's mother, she was already unconscious and barely breathing.

They are just ordinary people.

But tonight, because of his connection with Xiao Chen, he was dragged into this bloody feast and suffered an undeserved disaster.

A boundless rage surged within Xiao Chen's chest like magma, reaching the top of his head, and the killing intent in his eyes was almost overflowing.

He took out two pills, put one into Yun Miao's mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Swallow it."

"Brother Xiao..." Yun Miao weakly grabbed his wrist, her nails digging deep into his flesh, her voice squeezed out between her teeth, filled with endless hatred, "Kill that beast...please..."

Xiao Chen pressed down on his shoulder with his hand, his strength steady, but his voice was as cold as ice: "Tonight, everyone who has your blood on their hands will die."

He helped Yun Jingtian and his wife up and led them to another table.

This time, before he could even speak, everyone at the table was already terrified, hurriedly getting up and backing away. Some even accidentally knocked over their chairs, staggering backward in a disheveled state, completely losing any semblance of their usual composure.

Having done all this, Xiao Chen finally slowly raised his eyes, his gaze locking onto Ao Tianchen like that of a hawk. His voice was terrifyingly calm, yet carried a chilling undertone:
“Old dog,” he paused, a cruel smile curving his lips, “how do you want to die? I’ve learned quite a few methods over the years. There’s skinning and dismembering, crushing bones and extracting marrow, and even methods that will leave you wishing for death. Which one would you like to try?”

"Pah, pah, pah."

Ao Tianchen suddenly clapped his hands, threw his head back and laughed loudly, his laughter carrying a hint of madness and sinister intent: "Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, I truly admire your reckless arrogance!"

His smile vanished, his eyes instantly turning sinister, like a viper spitting its tongue: "Where do you think this is? A vegetable market where you can come and go as you please?"

He spread his arms, pointing to the room full of guests, his tone brimming with arrogance and confidence: "Eight or nine out of ten people here tonight are my friends, the elite of the Northwest martial arts world! And you,"

His gaze fell on Xiao Chen, filled with mockery and murderous intent: "He's nothing but a turtle in a jar, walking right into the trap!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud rumble of machinery came from all four corners of the banquet hall!

The walls on either side of the originally broken gate slowly unfolded into two heavy iron doors, each half a foot thick, gleaming with a cold metallic luster!
"Boom!"

The heavy iron gate slammed shut, causing dust to fall from the beams, and the entire banquet hall was instantly sealed off.

Immediately afterwards, all the windows were sealed off with thick steel plates, and the air vents emitted the clicking sound of gears meshing. The entire banquet hall had become an airtight iron cage!
The air suddenly became incredibly oppressive, and the aura of death permeated the air as if it were a tangible presence, making it hard to breathe.

Twenty dark figures emerged from the shadows, moving with ghostly speed, instantly surrounding Xiao Chen. They were all carefully trained assassins from the New Martial Arts Association, their auras linked, forming a murderous array. Their intertwined true energy was like invisible blades, locking onto Xiao Chen's vital points.

"Scared already?" Ao Tianchen grinned maliciously, his eyes filled with cruelty. "The show has only just begun!"

He clapped his hands.

Four figures slowly emerged from the shadows of the second-floor pillars. With each step, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the blue bricks on the ground. The terrifying aura emanating from them made the air in the entire hall seem to freeze.

When they fully appeared, a collective gasp of astonishment erupted from the audience:

"Lin Nie!!"

"Wang Huan!!" "White Flag!!"

"Hua Yun!!"

"And Zheng Hang!!"

Five top masters! They are all figures in the provincial martial arts world whose every move can cause an earthquake, and each of them possesses the strength of the Celestial Realm!

Moreover, they are all ranked within the top 300 of the Dragon Kingdom's Celestial Ranking! Especially Zheng Hang, whose ranking is as high as 218th, his strength is unfathomable!

Add to that Ao Tianchen himself, who ranks 150th on the Heavenly Ranking, and this lineup is enough to sweep across the entire Northwest martial arts world!

“Oh, right,” Ao Tianchen said, as if suddenly remembering something, his smile growing even more sinister, “there’s something I’ve been keeping from you all. My latest ranking on the Dragon Kingdom’s Celestial Ranking is exactly 150!”

"hiss,!"

The entire audience was horrified!

One hundred and fifty! This means that Ao Tianchen's true strength is enough to rank among the top one hundred and fifty in the martial arts world of the Dragon Kingdom! With such terrifying cultivation, killing a young man in his early twenties would be as easy as crushing an ant.
The gazes directed at Xiao Chen had shifted from initial shock to pure pity.

This madman probably doesn't even know how he died!

Ao Tianchen basked in the awe and fawning gazes of the crowd, a cruel smile playing on his lips.

He took a step forward, and the terrifying pressure of the Celestial Realm surged towards Xiao Chen like a tsunami, carrying the momentum to crush everything: "Kneel down and beg for mercy now, and I might still leave you with a whole corpse."

He wasn't overconfident; Xiao Chen's strength in having just knocked him back with a single punch made him wary. He immediately waved his hand and shouted, his voice sharp as a knife: "Attack together! Crush his dantian, sever his limbs, and leave me with a breath left!"

Before the words were even finished, the five top experts moved simultaneously!
True energy surged like thunder, the candle flames flickered wildly and threatened to go out, and five figures turned into afterimages. Their killing intent intertwined into an impenetrable net, instantly enveloping Xiao Chen, leaving not even a moment to breathe!
"Wait a minute."

A clear, melodious female voice, like jade striking jade, suddenly broke through the heavy, suffocating atmosphere.

Qin Xianglan slowly rose, her long, trailing dress sweeping across the pool of blood and shards, like a white lotus blooming quietly amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. She moved gracefully to stand before Ao Tianchen, tilting her head slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, her tone languid yet carrying an undeniable confidence:
"If my Qin family wishes to protect him, would the Chief possibly grant me this favor?"

The room was deathly silent!

The Qin family?!
The Qin family, who have been entrenched in the provincial capital for a century, shrouded in mystery, and whom even some families in the capital treat with deference, secretly controlling half of the western economy?!

Ao Tianchen's face suddenly darkened, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but he still forced a dignified expression: "Miss Qin, this man killed my brother-in-law and ruined my banquet. He has no connection with your Qin family. Why would you want to tear apart your relationship with the New Martial Arts Association for his sake?"

“Of course there is a connection.” Qin Xianglan slowly turned around, her gaze falling on Xiao Chen. A glint of something unfathomable flashed in her beautiful eyes, a mixture of greed and inquiry. “He has something that my Qin family has long coveted.”

She turned to look at Ao Tianchen, her smile not reaching her eyes, her tone carrying an undisguised threat: "If the Chief insists on taking action, you might as well think about whether your Ao family can afford to offend the old ancestors standing behind my Qin family."

The moment the words left his mouth, the entire audience was stunned!
The powerful figure behind the Qin family? That's a reclusive expert whom even the Martial Arts Army treats with utmost respect! (End of Chapter)
