My Ares Son-in-Law

Zhao Lina's hands were shaking as she struggled to support herself and climb up from the ground. She wanted to use her last bit of courage to say a few harsh words to Xiao Chen to save some face.

However, when she mustered up her courage and looked up into Xiao Chen's cold eyes, all her courage instantly collapsed. Xiao Chen's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts and penetrate the depths of their souls, making her feel an unprecedented chill, as if she had instantly fallen into an ice cellar for thousands of years, and her blood all solidified.

She quickly lowered her head and tightly closed her lips, not daring to make any more sounds. The air around her seemed even heavier, making it hard for her to breathe.

At this moment, she deeply experienced what true fear was. It was a feeling of powerlessness that surged from the bottom of her heart, making her realize that she was nothing more than an insignificant ant in front of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's gaze was like a cold blade, slowly sweeping across everyone present. Those people felt the pressure and lowered their heads, as if avoiding the coming judgment, fearing that they would become the next target of attention. Their heartbeats accelerated, their breathing became rapid, and their faces were filled with fear and despair.

Then, Xiao Chen took firm steps and walked straight towards Bai Jun. Although his pace was not fast, every step seemed to be on the drumbeat of everyone's heart, making people tremble with fear. Standing in front of Bai Jun, Xiao Chen's eyes became even colder, as if he could freeze all warmth and hope.

"It's fine if you're rich but unkind," Xiao Chen's voice was deep and powerful, and every word hit people's hearts like a heavy hammer, "but you are so cruel that you not only want to kill Zhao Liang, but also want him to witness his father's tragic death with his own eyes. What is the purpose of people like you living in this world?"

After that, Xiao Chen did not give Bai Jun any chance to defend himself. He waved his arm lightly, as if he was just waving away a cloud of dust, but the next moment, a blazing fire appeared out of nowhere and instantly engulfed Bai Jun.

In the flames, Bai Jun's screams were heartbreaking, but no one could save him from this endless pain. Soon, his figure twisted and deformed in the flames, and finally turned into a pile of black charcoal, which drifted away with the wind, leaving only a wisp of green smoke, announcing the end of a life.

This scene was like a nightmare to the others present. They witnessed Xiao Chen's cruelty and power, and their hearts were filled with unspeakable fear.

Their legs trembled involuntarily, and they wanted to escape from this horrible place, but they found that their bodies seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, and they had lost the strength to stand. They could only sit on the ground and watch all this happen, but they were powerless to change any outcome.

Xiao Chen's eyes moved away from Bai Jun, who had turned to ashes, and instead locked onto Zhao Lina coldly. He walked slowly towards her, and every step seemed to increase the depressing atmosphere around him.

"What did you just say? There are no ghosts or gods in this world? There is no hell? Well, since you are so curious, I will let you go down and find out for yourself, to see if those things you deny really do not exist!"

Zhao Lina's face was filled with fear and despair. She tried to retreat, but her legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. She knew she had nowhere to escape. Xiao Chen's words were like the sentence of death, which made her completely lose the courage to resist.

As Xiao Chen waved his arm gently, a burst of hot energy suddenly surged in the air, instantly gathering into a vortex of flames, completely enveloping Zhao Lina.

Her screams rose along with the flames, full of helplessness and despair. In the flames, it seemed as if countless vengeful spirits were roaring, trying to drag her into an endless abyss.

Xiao Chen's face was not fluctuating at all, and his eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness. In his opinion, saving the world was an arduous task, and encountering such scum in the process would only make him feel more angry and unbalanced.

He knew that only by completely eradicating these social cancers could the world become a better place. The flames gradually died out, and Zhao Lina's figure disappeared, leaving only a charred black and a faint residual heat. Xiao Chen did not stop, he turned around and scanned the remaining crowd with his eyes that seemed to see through everything.

Those people had already been frightened out of their wits by the sight before them. They either knelt on the ground or collapsed into the mud, their eyes filled with resignation and despair.

"Before I change my mind and want to kill someone, you'd better take this opportunity and get out of here!" Xiao Chen's voice was cold and resolute, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing that he was not a bloodthirsty person, but would never tolerate any provocation or threat.

With a loud bang, an invisible shock wave seemed to explode in the air. The faces of those young people who were still standing there in a daze turned red in an instant, with shame and fear intertwined.

They lowered their heads as if they had received a special pardon, not daring to look at Xiao Chen any longer, and fled in all directions in a hurry, fearing that they would encounter an accident if they were a step slower.

Xiao Chen turned his gaze to those who were still at the scene and ordered coldly: "Clean up that dead bastard and the remaining filth. Don't pollute this land."

Upon hearing this, several brave young men hurried forward and carefully wrapped up Guangzhi's charred body and the few belongings left by Bai Jun and Zhao Lina in cloth. They moved quickly and cautiously, for fear of angering this terrible strong man.

As these people left, the scene quickly returned to calm, leaving only Xiao Chen and Zhao Liang standing opposite each other. Zhao Liang looked at Xiao Chen, his eyes full of shock and awe. The pain in his body seemed to be forgotten at this moment, leaving only infinite curiosity about Xiao Chen's strength.

"Mr. Xiao, you...your level of cultivation is simply unbelievable!" Zhao Liang's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of disbelief.

"That Guangzhi is a master at the peak of the Dragon Pill Realm. Even my father is no match for him. But you defeated him so easily, even... even..." He couldn't continue, but just stared at Xiao Chen with admiring eyes.

Xiao Chen raised his lips to a gentle smile, which was full of confidence and indifference. "Zhao Liang, you just need to understand that in this complicated world, I, Xiao Chen, have never met an opponent who can stand shoulder to shoulder with me. That's enough."

There was an unquestionable power in his words that made people believe him involuntarily.

When Zhao Liang heard this, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but then it turned into deep admiration.

"No one can match you... Doesn't this mean that you... You have reached the pinnacle of martial arts and reached the state of invincibility?" There was both amazement and disbelief in his tone, but when he looked into Xiao Chen's deep and determined eyes, the doubt instantly disappeared.

In front of Xiao Chen, everything seems to be possible. (End of this chapter)
