Why Did This Catastrophe Fall on Me?

God-Demon Twin Slashes descended from the heavens, clashing with Shen Tianyu's punch.

In an instant, countless sword energies were completely obliterated.

Chen Xin's pure sword intent, which he had always been proud of, showed signs of collapse at this moment.

With one punch, the Great Dao decayed!

All attacks were futile at this moment.

An unprecedented killing intent shrouded Chen Xin's chest.

A generation's Sword Douluo felt fear rise in his heart.

"God-Demon Twin Slashes! Nothing more than this! Break!"

His voice boomed like thunder, his fist as invincible as diamond.

That supreme strike, God-Demon Twin Slashes, was destroyed on the spot by the Progenitor Saint Fist.

Pfft~

Chen Xin was like a feather, his entire body struck by the fist intent as blood gushed wildly from his mouth.

His desolate figure was sent flying backward through the air.

"I lost!"

Chen Xin could not believe it. The sword intent in his heart was about to collapse in the next moment.

"No!"

His faith in the strongest sword ignited, and Chen Xin forcibly regained control of his retreating body.

Bang!

He stepped on empty air and steadied himself.

Clutching the Seven Kill Sword tightly, his entire being seemed to enter a state of nothingness.

"Unity of Man and Sword!"

Boom!

Soul Power surged outward, and Chen Xin's aura vanished without a trace.

Between heaven and earth, only the aura of the Seven Kill Sword remained.

"My body is the sword!"

At this moment, Chen Xin was no longer Chen Xin. He was the incomparably sharp Seven Kill Sword!

"Interesting. A counterattack in desperation?"

Man moved with sword, sword intent and sword energy merging into one.

Chen Xin's eyes turned completely white, leaving behind only the purest sword path.

"A thirteen-string verse within the cup; half a life of wind and rain, all returned to a single sword!"

Holding the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin shot through the air.

"Sword Dao: Chen Xin!"

At this moment, Chen Xin entered a wondrous state, as though he had touched the bottleneck he had failed to break through for years.

"Then let me show you what true sword dao is!"

He pressed two fingers together and pointed them toward the sky.

Sword intent erupted in an instant. Shen Tianyu himself became a sword.

"Three Thousand Great Daos—Great Sword Dao Art!"

Rumble!

Space split apart. Shen Tianyu became like a colossal sword as he charged forth with two fingers extended.

The Great Sword Dao Art descended, its supreme sword energy sweeping through like a tornado.

His sword fingers struck the Seven Kill Sword, instantly suppressing its sword intent.

Crack~

The blade shattered, and cracks immediately spread across the sword's body.

Boom!

With an explosion, the Seven Kill Sword burst into fragments.

Chen Xin's martial soul shattered. Blood poured endlessly from his mouth, while his long silver hair danced amid the sword energy.

The sword fingers advanced relentlessly and reached Chen Xin in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Chen Xin had barely any Soul Power left and no strength to fight again.

A streak of light landed precisely and entered Chen Xin's body.

It was Ning Fengzhi in the distance, urgently lending him aid.

His Soul Power replenished, Chen Xin immediately moved his body and twisted aside to evade.

The sword fingers thrust forward and landed on Chen Xin's right arm.

Pfft~

Supreme sword energy spread rapidly, severing Chen Xin's right arm on the spot as blood gushed out wildly.

At that very moment, the bottleneck of many years broke through in one stroke.

His Soul Power rapidly soared, and Chen Xin entered level 97.

"Seven Kill!"

A stream of sword energy condensed beneath his feet, and Chen Xin's speed surged.

In less than half a breath, he appeared outside the imperial palace.

"Fengzhi, come with me!"

Ning Fengzhi leaped onto the sword energy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda activating madly.

A streak of light descended, and Chen Xin's speed surged again.

The two became like shooting stars, arriving at Heaven Dou City's gate in an instant.

"Running?"

Spiritual Energy spread rapidly, covering the entirety of Heaven Dou City in a single thought.

Nothing within the city could escape Shen Tianyu's perception.

The Two People who had reached the city gate suddenly felt a chill down their backs, as though the god of death had locked onto their souls.

Above the imperial palace, Shen Tianyu had just taken a step when his brow furrowed.

Under his Spiritual Energy perception, Qian Renxue was fleeing in the opposite direction.

"Little girl, you want to run too?"

He turned and mobilized his Spiritual Energy, swiftly locking onto Qian Renxue's position.

Golden Soul Power circulated around her, revealing a trace of noble bearing.

As Qian Renxue ran wildly, she sensed Shen Tianyu's gaze upon her and felt that something was wrong.

"Imperial Guard, stop him!"

She was still disguised as Xue Qinghe. With her status here, the Imperial Guard in the palace naturally did not dare disobey her orders.

They immediately drew their bows and nocked their arrows, gripping their spears as they stood ready.

"A bunch of ants!"

He pressed down with one hand, and Spiritual Energy descended from the heavens.

A blood mist rose as a swath of Imperial Guards died on the spot.

"Get back here, Young Master!"

Bang!

With a single step, he appeared above Qian Renxue.

He reached downward, and Spiritual Energy condensed into a massive hand that descended from the sky.

"You!"

Seeing that all the nearby Imperial Guards were dead and there was no one left, she gritted her teeth fiercely and directly unleashed her Six-Winged Angel martial soul.

Under the sacred radiance of the Angel, five soul rings flickered and pulsed.

Her sole ten-thousand-year soul ring lit up, and a golden sword condensed into shape.

Fifth Soul Skill—Sacred Sword!

She slashed upward, thrusting horizontally into the Spiritual Energy Hand.

"Stop resisting!"

Boom!

The Sacred Sword exploded directly, while the Spiritual Energy Hand descended over her head.

Shen Tianyu made a fist-clenching motion, and the Spiritual Energy Hand immediately seized Qian Renxue.

"Come back!"

The Spiritual Energy Hand carried Qian Renxue over. His two fingers swiftly landed on her chest, sealing her Soul Power.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Qian Renxue bit her lip and angrily shouted.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I told you before that my third condition was you.

No, I should call you Qian Renxue instead."

"You know my identity, so you should also know my background. Spirit Hall is not someone you can afford to offend."

"Threatening me?"

His brow rose as one hand pinched Qian Renxue's chin.

"Because of you, those two little loaches got away. You must pay the price. As for Spirit Hall, I'm heading to Heaven Dou Martial Soul Temple first to rob the place."

He placed a hand over Qian Renxue's mouth and sealed it with Spiritual Energy.

Hoisting Qian Renxue over his shoulder, he flew straight toward Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Holy Temple.

At that moment, Salas, the Platinum Bishop within the Martial Soul Holy Temple, was applauding in praise.

"Good! Excellent!"

"That guy is truly ruthless!"

"Not only did he slaughter over two thousand soul masters of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, he even chopped off one of Chen Xin's arms!"

"Such talent must be brought into Spirit Hall's service. I must personally make a trip to the main hall."

Just as Salas was sighing with emotion, a pressure suddenly descended.

Immediately afterward, screams rang out.

His gaunt old face instantly twisted with rage, and he hurried out of his room into the main hall.

"Who dares cause trouble in my Martial Soul Holy Temple..."

Halfway through his words, Salas fell silent.

Shen Tianyu stood in the main hall with Qian Renxue over his shoulder, his gaze meeting Salas's.

Salas was a little dumbfounded. Why had this man come to the Martial Soul Holy Temple? And why was he carrying Heaven Dou's Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe?

"You're Salas, right? Hand over every Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure stored in the Martial Soul Holy Temple, or I'll kill every last one of you!"

"Does Your Excellency take Spirit Hall for those fools of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? If you offend Spirit Hall, you will—"

"Fuck you!"

So what if I offend Spirit Hall? I've even kidnapped the Pope's daughter.

Irredeemable ruin, is it? Then I'll kill whoever comes, until no one in Spirit Hall dares come after me!

He swung out a punch and smashed Salas apart on the spot.

Until his death, Salas could not understand how this catastrophic disaster had fallen upon him.

Everyone within the Martial Soul Holy Temple trembled in fear.

"Where's the deputy hall master? Get out here!"

A plump middle-aged man walked out and bowed obsequiously to Shen Tianyu.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll fetch all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at once!"

"At least you have more sense than him!"

The fat middle-aged man swiftly gave the order. In less than a moment, all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were brought over.

Shen Tianyu stored them in the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and left through the air.

Not long after flying out of Heaven Dou City, he stopped outside a small forest.

He placed Qian Renxue on the ground and coldly said in a low voice.

"If you're here, come out! Why sneak around and hide?"

As soon as his words fell, four figures appeared.

Shen Tianyu turned around to see that all four had already unleashed their martial souls, each bearing Nine Rings.

"Four Titled Douluo. Together, how do you compare to Chen Xin?"
