My Ares Son-in-Law

The poison master's heartbeat quickened, and sweat dripped down his forehead, dripping onto the black ground, and was instantly swallowed up by the deathly aura, silently. He could not accept this fact, that everything he had carefully planned was so vulnerable in front of Xiao Chen.

He originally thought that even if this death energy could not kill Xiao Chen immediately, it could at least put him in trouble and buy him time to escape. But now it seems that his wishful thinking has completely failed.

The poison master's body trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with fear and doubt. He couldn't understand why Xiao Chen could resist this deadly death energy so easily.

Could it be that Xiao Chen really possessed extraordinary powers? Or did he have some mysterious treasure that could resist all toxins? These thoughts turned wildly in his mind, but he could not find any reasonable answers.

At this moment, Xiao Chen's indifferent voice sounded again, like a spring breeze, calming the waves in his heart.

"Surprised, right? Actually, you don't have to be too surprised. You said that ordinary people would be in agony if they were contaminated by this deathly aura, that's because they are indeed just ordinary people. But I have never been that kind of person." Xiao Chen's smile revealed a hint of mystery and confidence, his eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through everything in the world.

This sentence was like a flash of lightning, breaking through the fog in the mind of the leper. He raised his head suddenly and looked at Xiao Chen, as if he really knew this person for the first time.

He realized that he was not only facing an opponent with great martial arts skills, but also a strong man with extraordinary abilities and wisdom. This realization made him feel both fear and awe. He knew that he could no longer look at Xiao Chen with the same eyes as before.

"You are not an ordinary person? Haha, then can you be a god?" There was a bit of bitterness and unwillingness in the sarcasm of the Poison Master. His words were like a sharp blade, trying to cut through Xiao Chen's calm and composed appearance.

However, Xiao Chen just smiled lightly, and that smile seemed to contain endless depth and loftiness, which made the Poison Master feel an inexplicable chill.

"I'm not a god, that's for sure." Xiao Chen's voice was calm and warm, like a spring breeze, yet it was firm and powerful. "However, compared to ordinary people, I am indeed a little bit stronger. And this 'strength' just makes your poison helpless against me, that's all."

His words revealed a kind of confidence and calmness that transcended the mundane world, as if the place where he was standing was no longer the human world. This temperament made the poison master feel unprecedented frustration and powerlessness. He realized that the gap between him and Xiao Chen might not only be the difference in martial arts and poison techniques, but also the gap in realm and vision.

Xiao Chen continued, "My realm is beyond your imagination. What I cultivate is immortal power and immortal magic. These deadly auras that are fatal in your eyes are nothing more than nectar that nourishes my cultivation."

His words were full of confidence in his own strength and contempt for death, as if those terrifying poisonous gases were nothing but insignificant in his eyes.

He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the power in his body that was surging from the dead energy he had swallowed. The dead energy that circulated in his body not only did not cause any harm to him, but was instead refined by his immortal power and transformed into a part of his cultivation. Although the dead energy was just a drop in the bucket for him and could not make a qualitative leap in his realm, every bit of it was adding bricks and tiles to his path of cultivation.

Following Xiao Chen's guidance, the death energy that was originally expanding and raging suddenly restrained its violence, as if being pulled by an invisible force, and all poured into Xiao Chen's body. This scene made the poison master stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes, and couldn't imagine that there was such an incredible thing in the world.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and a brighter light flashed in them, which was a symbol of his improved cultivation and increased strength. He looked at the poison master, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In that smile, there was pity for the poison master's ignorance, as well as pride and confidence in his own strength.

"Well, it's really not bad." Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. That smile showed satisfaction with this unexpected gain, but also contained ridicule and sarcasm towards the leper.

"This death energy must have been accumulated for hundreds of years. Although it is not enough for me to cross the threshold of the realm, it is a good 'tonic' for me, which has improved my cultivation. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you very much."

His voice was lighthearted and cheerful, as if he was sharing an interesting story with an old friend, but every word was like a needle piercing the heart of the leper. The leper's face instantly turned livid, his eyes widened as if they were about to spit fire, and his anger and unwillingness intertwined, making him almost lose his mind.

"Asshole! How dare you devour the treasures I have treasured for many years? You are simply courting death!" The poison master roared, his voice full of anger and despair. He could no longer endure this humiliation and defeat. He raised his hand and two black shadows flew out of his sleeves in an instant. They were the poisonous little snakes he carefully cultivated, each of which was enough to kill an ordinary warrior instantly.

The little snakes drew black tracks in the air, and rushed towards Xiao Chen with a sharp hissing sound. They were extremely fast, like two black lightning bolts, and they were in front of Xiao Chen in an instant. However, Xiao Chen just looked at them indifferently, and then his mind moved, and a mysterious power surged out of his body, instantly affecting the two little snakes.

The snakes' eyes suddenly turned blood red, and their momentum to attack Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. Instead, they turned around and attacked their master, the Toxic Master. The Toxic Master was caught off guard by the sudden change. He cried out in surprise and raised his hand to slam it out with a fierce palm wind, carrying a strong poison, trying to destroy the two out-of-control snakes.

However, the little snakes seemed to be driven by some kind of power, not afraid of the palm wind of the poison master, and still pounced on him frantically. With a shrill scream, two little snakes were hit by the palm power of the poison master and turned into blood and flesh powder in an instant, but their attack also made the poison master stagger and his face paler.

At this moment, the poison master's heart was filled with fear and despair. He realized that the gap between him and Xiao Chen was not only in terms of martial arts and poison techniques, but also in terms of understanding and control of power. Facing such an unfathomable opponent, he felt unprecedented powerlessness and despair.

"Asshole! Asshole, you hurt my pet again!"

The leper's face was twisted with anger and unwillingness, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire. (End of this chapter)
