My Ares Son-in-Law

The poison master's clenched fists trembled slightly, his nails dug deep into his palms, blood oozed out quietly, but he felt no pain at all. All he felt in his heart was grief for the lost pet and tremendous hatred for Xiao Chen.

His voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with endless anger and unwillingness.

"Look at what you are saying. Didn't you kill the poisonous snake yourself? Why are you blaming me?" Xiao Chen stood not far away, looking calm, with his hands gently spread out to show his innocence. Although there was a bit of helplessness in his tone, his eyes flashed with unquestionable determination, and it was obvious that he did not buy into the accusations of the poison master.

"Hmph, if it weren't for you, how could I be willing to let go of my pet that has not yet been fully trained!" The leper's voice was a little sharp due to excitement, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. The venomous snake was not only his carefully cultivated fighting partner, but also the crystallization of his countless efforts and expectations.

He turned around abruptly, his eyes like knives, piercing Xiao Chen, as if he wanted to pour all his hatred into this one look, "I'll remember this, kid, you'll live in a nightmare from now on, I will never let you go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Poison Master jumped up like an enraged beast, but his anger did not last long.

He knew very well that even though he was good at using poison and had many tricks, these tricks were so pale and powerless in the face of absolute strength. He quickly calculated in his mind and scanned the surroundings, looking for an opportunity to escape.

With a cold snort, which contained too much unwillingness and helplessness, the poison master's body suddenly became extremely flexible. He took advantage of the terrain and with a few dodgy moves, he had distanced himself from Xiao Chen.

His heart was full of vigilance, and he took every step carefully, fearing that a slight negligence on his part would become a breakthrough for Xiao Chen's attack.

During the escape, the eyes of the leper became more and more gloomy, and he secretly swore that he would return the humiliation today a hundredfold in the future. He knew that it was not a wise move to confront the enemy head-on, and the only way to avenge the humiliation was to endure it temporarily and wait for the opportunity.

He was good at using poison, but he had used all kinds of poisons and all kinds of tricks, but they still posed no threat to Xiao Chen. At this time, he had already understood that he was definitely no match for Xiao Chen in a head-on battle, and the most important thing now was to run away and save his life.

This guy is very fast, and his body movements are somewhat mysterious. Ordinary warriors really can't catch up with him. After all, this kind of person is not good at frontal combat, so naturally he pays more attention to the cultivation of his body movements and speed.

In the mottled light of the dim light, his figure was like a ghost, and every step he took seemed to cross the boundaries of space, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.

His steps were light and rhythmic, and every turn he made was just right to avoid routes that might expose his whereabouts. It was obvious that he had put a lot of effort into his body movements.

This extreme pursuit of speed makes him unique in the martial arts world. Many martial artists who claim to be speed masters are inevitably eclipsed when they confront him.

He knew very well that he might not be able to match those powerful opponents in a head-on confrontation. Therefore, he focused more on practicing his body skills and speed to ensure that he could escape with his agility when encountering a strong enemy.

It is to ensure that he can escape smoothly when he is unable to fight the enemy, so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy. This caution and alertness are the valuable experience he has accumulated over many years of wandering around. He knows that the way to survive is not to never make mistakes, but to be able to quickly find an opportunity to escape after making a mistake. However, just after he ran a distance, his confidence and composure began to waver. Because he was surprised to find that Xiao Chen had quietly appeared behind him without knowing when, and the distance was so close that it seemed as if there was no running distance between the two.

What made him feel even more desperate was that no matter how he accelerated or changed direction, Xiao Chen was always following him like a shadow. His calm and unhurried attitude made it seem as if they were playing a game of cat and mouse, and he was the mouse being fooled.

Xiao Chen had a faint smile on his face, which showed both recognition of the Poison Master's skills and a condescending mockery. This feeling of being completely controlled made Poison Master feel unprecedented fear and anger.

He could feel his heartbeat speeding up, and sweat dripping down his forehead, dripping onto the cold ground with a slight sound. At this moment, his heart was trembling, and all his confidence and pride vanished at this moment, leaving only the fear of the unknown and the overwhelming hatred towards Xiao Chen.

"Go to hell!" The Poison Master roared, his voice mixed with despair and unwillingness, as if it was his last struggle against fate.

He turned around abruptly, his eyes wide open with a crazy light flashing in his pupils, his hands clenched into fists, his fingers filled with green powder. It was the poison he had carefully prepared, and although it was not fatal, it was enough to make an ordinary warrior lose his fighting ability instantly.

Without any hesitation, he shook his wrist, and the green powder instantly spread out like mist, covering the direction of Xiao Chen.

This was not just an attack, but also his last struggle for survival. He hoped that this sudden poisonous fog could temporarily trap Xiao Chen, even for just a moment, which would be enough for him to create distance and gain a chance to escape.

However, Xiao Chen's reaction was far beyond the expectations of the poison master. Facing the surging green powder, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he smiled faintly, moved his body slightly, and passed directly through the poisonous fog, as if the poisonous powder was just an illusion to him and had no effect at all.

"I say, Poison Master, you have the reputation of being a poison master, but you only have this little ability. It's really disappointing." Xiao Chen's voice sounded in Poison Master's ears, with a bit of teasing and disdain. His words were like a sharp blade, piercing into Poison Master's heart, causing his already shaky self-esteem to completely collapse.

As he spoke, Xiao Chen's figure appeared beside the poison master like a ghost, and a big hand gently pressed on the poison master's shoulder.

At that moment, the Poison Master only felt an irresistible force coming from that palm, as if a thousand-pound burden was pressed on his shoulders, causing him to lose his balance in an instant. His feet slipped wildly on the ground, but he could not take another step forward no matter what.

Fear and despair surged into his heart like a tide, the poison master's face turned pale as paper, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair.

He never expected that his poison technique, which he was so proud of, would be so vulnerable in front of Xiao Chen. At this moment, he seemed to have been stripped of all his disguise and pride, and was exposed naked in front of Xiao Chen, with no room for struggle. (End of this chapter)
