Noticing the trembling from the soft body behind him, Shen Shuchou comforted him, "It's alright, I'm here."

Wen Yuning hugged him tightly from behind, her voice choked with sobs, "Why did you have to get involved in this mess?"

Wen Yuning sincerely hoped that Shen Shuchou would not appear here. This time, they were facing Zhao Hongye, who had declared himself emperor, a situation that could be described as a death sentence.

Shen Shuchou said sadly, "I have nowhere else to go."

The changes have already begun, and Shen Shuchou, as an important part of this process, can only follow the system's arrangements.

Since they were all going to die soon, they did their best to fight their way out for the two sisters before they died.

Hearing these words, Wen Yuning's delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and a strong sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

Wen Yuning believed that she was the one who had dragged Shen Shuchou into this dangerous situation, unaware that Kyoto was already Shen Shuchou's grave.

"Follow me, I can only do my best to lead you out of here."

Shen Shuchou said calmly.

He knew there must be cultivators in the capital, so he could only do his best to break out of the Wen residence before they arrived.

"Young Master Shen, I'm not leaving. You take Yu Ning and leave, and don't come back."

Wen Qingning spoke softly, her face streaked with tears.

Neither of the sisters possessed any martial arts skills. With so many black-armored soldiers outside, taking one of them would be easier than taking two.

If someone absolutely had to die, Wen Qingning only hoped that person would be herself.

"If you're leaving, we'll leave together," Wen Yuning said, pulling Wen Qingning's hand.

Shen Shuchou sighed softly and said, "Just stay behind me and don't say anything."

The two Wen sisters immediately shut their mouths, their faces filled with worry.

Shen Shuchou let out a soft breath and flicked his longsword lightly.

Clang!

A crisp sword sound rang out around him, and Shen Shuchou's aura rose steadily.

A flash of sword light appeared in Shen Shuchou's eyes, and a chilling killing intent surrounded the blade.

"Don't let them leave, all of you, charge!"

Lin Yuan clutched his bleeding severed arm, his eyes filled with resentment.

Upon hearing this, a large number of black-armored soldiers formed a human wall, completely blocking the three of them.

Lin Yuan's face twisted with resentment as he said, "Grab him! I want to personally cut off his limbs."

Deng Deng Deng!

The iron boots pounded the ground with a dull thud, like the beating of a drum, as the sharp blade pressed closer and closer.

Shen Shuchou's eyes were indifferent. He twirled his sword and vanished from the spot in an instant.

As they spun and moved, the sword's edge flashed, piercing through with lightning speed.

With Shen Shuqiu's lightning-fast movements, the Black Armor Army couldn't catch a trace of him at all.

The chilling killing intent emanated from every angle around him.

For a brief moment, a storm of sword energy formed, keeping strangers at bay.

Right now.

Shen Shuchou unleashed a sword strike from the storm, its cold and merciless blade like a venomous snake baring its fangs to bite.

Click.

The black-armored soldiers in front of them, along with their heavy armor, were torn to shreds by the sword energy.

After the first sword strike, several more sword energies followed closely behind, cold and full of killing intent.

A sword cage enveloped the numerous black-armored soldiers, and as Shen Shuchou's speed increased, the intensity of the sword energy's crushing force also increased.

This terrifying scene made Lin Yuan's heart pound.

This kid's sword is so cold, and his strength is so formidable.

The next moment, the sword energy cage contracted inward, and Shen Shuchou's eyes flashed with icy killing intent.

The longsword, carrying a merciless killing intent, suddenly slashed out, its momentum like the surging waves of the sea, unstoppable and certain to strike with a single blow.

This sword shattered the starry sea and cleaved the river with lightning speed and fierce force.

The air seemed to be torn apart, and the airflow rushed to the side.

boom!

The large group of black-armored soldiers who had been gathered together were annihilated by this extremely chilling sword strike.

Shen Shuchou returned to the two women's side, but suddenly felt unsteady on his feet.

Upon seeing this, Wen Yuning quickly helped him up, her face full of worry, and asked, "Are you alright?"

Shen Shuchou shook his head slightly and said, "Take this opportunity and leave quickly."

To prevent any cultivators from daring to approach, Shen Shuchou concentrated all his strength into this single sword strike without holding back.

This took a huge toll on him, and his fighting strength was now completely depleted. He could only take this opportunity to leave before the others arrived.

The two daughters of the Wen family also knew that this was a good opportunity, and immediately followed Shen Shuchou to leave the Wen residence.

Lin Yuan, who had fallen to the ground, had already crawled far away, taking advantage of his severe injuries.

Shen Shuchou's terrifying combat power frightened him so much that he stayed away from the battlefield, fearing that he would die by the sword.

Now he could only watch helplessly as the other party escaped. He had only brought a squad of thirty black-armored soldiers, and now they were all dead at the hands of this man.

"His Highness has arrived."

A sharp voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Shen Shuchou's face darkened instantly, and he stopped in his tracks, quietly retreating with the two women.

"Hahaha, run! Why aren't you running anymore? His Highness is here. None of you are going anywhere. You bastard, I'm going to torture you to death bit by bit."

Lin Yuan laughed wildly with a face full of resentment.

A flicker of emotion appeared in Shen Shuchou's calm eyes as he gazed at the gate.

The two Wen family daughters were ashen-faced; their newly ignited hope was extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

The next moment, a magnificent sedan chair carried by four eunuchs entered the Wen residence and came into view of the group.

Behind the sedan chair was an elderly man dressed in a black patterned robe, and behind him were countless soldiers in black armor.

A moment later, the sedan chair stopped not far from Shen Shuchou, and then a large number of black-armored soldiers rushed in and surrounded it again.

The atmosphere in the room became serious, with an invisible killing intent lurking around it.

Shen Shuchou's eyes remained calm as he stared intently at the black-robed old man whose face was obscured.

His intuition told him that this person was definitely a cultivator, and a very strong one at that.

"Lin Yuan".

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Hongye's lazy male voice came from inside the sedan chair.

Lin Yuan, who was hiding to the side, immediately crawled over on the ground like a dog using his only remaining left hand.

"Your Highness, I am here."

Lin Yuan touched his head to the ground respectfully.

"This is what you did."

Zhao Hongye said calmly from inside the sedan chair.

An invisible pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked terrified and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's not my fault. I had already caught him. It was him who ruined my plans and even cut off my arm."

Lin Yuan's face was filled with fear as he pointed at Shen Shuchou and roared.

Shen Shuchou immediately sensed a scrutinizing gaze on him from inside the sedan chair.

A sense of threat welled up in Shen Shuchou's heart, and he was slightly startled.

The person inside the sedan chair was also a cultivator, and it seemed to be a heretical cultivator.

However, the one who put pressure on Shen Shuchou was the old man in black robes standing to the side.

From his appearance, he looks like an ordinary old man, easily overlooked in a crowd.

But this old man exerted pressure on Shen Shuchou like an insurmountable peak.

It seems that today is the day the system has arranged for him to die. A helpless bitter smile welled up in Shen Shuchou's heart.

In front of such an unfathomable cultivator, any small action would be superfluous.

Unfortunately, he couldn't save the two Wen family daughters before he died, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in Shen Shuchou's heart.

Even though you already knew your fate, when it really came down to it, the dark despair was like stagnant water drowning you in an abyss.

"You've disappointed me so much; you can't even be a good dog."

Zhao Hongye's voice revealed a hint of coldness.

Lin Yuan immediately sensed something was terribly wrong and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I..."

"ah..."

Before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, he curled up on the ground.

Large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his whole body felt as if it were being bitten by insects, with an excruciating pain.

The flesh and blood on his body disappeared visibly, and his thick thighs became bony and emaciated in the blink of an eye.

A few breaths later, Lin Yuan, who was still alive, was reduced to skin and bones by the strange power, and no longer had any life force left.

Shen Shuchou frowned. This power... this person was indeed an evil cultivator.

Behind him, the two women from the Wen family covered their mouths, their eyes filled with unknown fear.

"As the saying goes, you have to consider the owner before you beat a dog, so have you thought about how you're going to die?"

Zhao Hongye's sneer came from inside the sedan chair.

Then he slowly stepped out from inside and landed opposite Shen Shuchou.

Zhao Hongye looked at the three of them with a wicked expression and arrogant eyes.

Upon seeing the Wen sisters, Zhao Hongye made no attempt to conceal the lust in his eyes.

"My two beauties, come obediently into my arms, and I will cherish you dearly."

Zhao Hongye grinned lewdly.

"You're dreaming. I'd rather give you a dog than let you, you beast, defile me."

Wen Yuning's face was filled with anger as she scolded him.

"The Tianwu Dynasty will perish sooner or later if it falls into the hands of someone like you. We will never let you go, even if it means our own death." Wen Qingning said coldly.

"Hahaha~ My two beauties can rest assured. With me here, you won't die. The Tianwu Dynasty will only get better and better. Being my concubine is better than being a Miss Wen. You two sisters will serve me together in the future."

Zhao Hongye grinned lewdly, his obscene gaze practically darting towards her.
