41: Chapter 41 The Enlightenment Tree, the Little Tyrant of Night City

"Villa Master, if I can communicate with this sword, then this peerless immortal sword and those ten Profound-grade swords will belong to me, right?"

Chu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, letting the breeze blow through his hair.

Wangquan Wuxin heard these words and looked at Chu Chen.

"Of course, my Divine Sword Villa keeps its word. If you, young friend, can truly communicate with this sword, feel free to take it."

"Good!" Chu Chen answered decisively.

The next moment, the sword intent on Chu Chen's body surged like a rainbow, dancing across the sky.

The Indestructible Sword Intent erupted from Chu Chen's body, soaring straight into the heavens, and suddenly a chill enveloped the entire Divine Sword Villa.

This sword intent was like a blade; everyone present felt a stinging sensation on their skin, as if they were being sliced open.

Amidst the uproar, the peerless immortal sword on the mountain peak began to tremble. Not only that, but all the swords throughout the Divine Sword Villa began to hum!

"This is Sword Heart, it is definitely Sword Heart!" A cultivator exclaimed, "Such powerful sword intent; this is definitely a peerless genius who has grasped the Sword Heart."

"Only then could it cause all the swords in the Divine Sword Villa to resonate."

Wangquan Wuxin's brows were tightly furrowed at this moment; he felt the peerless immortal sword resisting him, wanting to break free from his control.

A surge of anger burned in Wangquan Wuxin's heart; he was clearly its master, yet it was actually turning against him.

He immediately unleashed his sword intent to suppress it.

However, the moment his sword intent touched the peerless immortal sword, a powerful sword qi deflected his intent.

"Swish!"

In the next instant, the peerless immortal sword broke free from the mountain peak, and the other ten swords similarly detached from the peak, all flying towards Chu Chen and circling around him.

"Villa Master, this is bad! All the swords on the Divine Sword Mountain are resonating and are about to break through their seals and come this way."

Hearing this, Wangquan Wuxin's expression turned ugly, and he said, "Young friend, let's stop here!"

Chu Chen knew he couldn't go too far. If he really drew out all the swords of the Divine Sword Villa, he feared Wangquan Wuxin would hold a grudge against him.

He then retracted his Indestructible Sword Intent.

"Villa Master Wang, I have already successfully communicated with this sword, so I will be taking this Heaven-grade sword and these ten Profound-grade swords."

Chu Chen said.

Wangquan Wuxin's face turned livid, and he said, "Young friend, I cannot give you this sword for the time being."

"This sword has special significance to me."

"How about this: you return this sword to me, and I will give you another Heaven-grade sword instead."

Hearing this, Chu Chen secretly thought that Wangquan Wuxin was indeed using these people.

Possessing the Indestructible Sword Intent, he naturally knew that this Heaven-grade sword had already acknowledged someone else as its master.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission. The reward, the enlightenment tree, has been issued.]

Hearing the system's voice, Chu Chen knew the enlightenment tree was his.

"Villa Master Wang, how can you go back on your word? The Divine Sword Villa is, after all, one of the top powers in Night City; how can you renege on your promise?"

Since something had reached his hands, there was no reason to return it, especially now that countless cultivators were here at the Divine Sword Villa.

Chu Chen did not believe Wangquan Wuxin would dare to make a move against him in front of so many cultivators.

If he did, the reputation of the Divine Sword Villa would be completely ruined, and it would become a laughingstock in the future.

The cultivators present heard Chu Chen's words and began to whisper among themselves.

"Didn't Villa Master Wang say that whoever could communicate with this sword could take it away? Why does it seem like he's about to go back on his word?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? After all, the Divine Sword Villa is a top-tier power; they shouldn't be the type to go back on their word."

Wangquan Wuxin listened to these cultivators, his expression couldn't have been uglier.

He had originally only wanted to borrow their soul power to forge this sword; he never expected such a heaven-defying brat to suddenly pop up.

Right now, he was in a bind—giving it away wasn't ideal, and not giving it away wasn't either.

A moment later, Wangquan Wuxin spoke up: "Haha, I was just joking with you, young friend."

"My Divine Sword Villa keeps its word. Since you, young friend, can communicate with this sword, it naturally belongs to you."

"Then many thanks, Villa Master Wang," Chu Chen said with a smile.

Liu Ye watched this scene and knew it was his time to shine.

If he could deal with this brat, perhaps he could bring the City Lord's Mansion and the Divine Sword Villa closer together.

He immediately stepped forward and said to Chu Chen, "Where did this bumpkin come from? Hand over that sword, or don't blame me if I make sure you can't leave Night City."

Hearing this, Chu Chen's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Where did this dog come from, barking here? It should be kept on a leash; what if it bites someone?"

"Damn, this kid is so brave; he actually dares to insult Liu Ye. Doesn't he know that Liu Ye is the Little Tyrant of Night City?"

"Bumpkin, you dare call me a dog?" Murderous intent surged in Liu Ye's eyes.

"Didn't you just say you were a dog yourself?" Chu Chen waved his hands with an innocent look.

"Heehee~ Brother Chu, you really know how to talk." Hua Xuan covered her mouth and laughed.

Wangquan Wuxin watched this scene and didn't intervene; he knew Liu Ye was only stepping forward to curry favor with the Divine Sword Villa.

However, if he could get this sword back, it would also be a good way to build more connections with the City Lord's Mansion.

"Bumpkin, you dare to humiliate me? Today, don't even think about leaving here in one piece."

Hearing this, Chu Chen looked at Liu Ye with eyes full of murderous intent: "Are you threatening me?"

Liu Ye laughed loudly: "Bumpkin, I, Liu Ye, am the prince here in Night City."

"Who do you think you are? Let alone threatening you, if I wanted to, you would disappear from this Night City forever."

"Of course, I can give you a chance. If you hand over the immortal sword in your hand, and lend me that woman beside you to play with for a few days..."

"I will spare your life!" Liu Ye looked at Hua Xuan with eyes full of desire.

"Sigh, what a pity. This youth was able to communicate with the peerless immortal sword; he must be a genius."

"But having been targeted by this Liu Ye, this youth is likely finished."

"In this Night City, who doesn't know that Liu Ye is the Little Tyrant? Anything he sets his eyes on, he always gets."

"The woman beside this youth is so beautiful; it's a pity she's going to be ruined."

Some local Night City cultivators whispered among themselves.

Hua Xuan also looked at Liu Ye with an expression of disgust, "Brother Chu, this person is so disgusting. Let's leave quickly."

"Silly girl, since he has said such things, if I don't kill him, my mind will not be at peace."

Chu Chen's eyes were like those of a bloodthirsty beast as he stared fixedly at Liu Ye.

"I haven't killed anyone in a long time. I don't care who you are, and I don't care what your status is; you have already paved your own way to death."

Abruptly, Liu Ye looked into Chu Chen's bloodthirsty eyes and involuntarily took a step back.

He then realized what happened, his face flushing red that he had actually been scared by a bumpkin.

He immediately stopped caring about so much and angrily shouted, "Go and capture him for me, but don't kill him."

"I want him to watch how I play with his woman."

"Yes, Young Master!"

Upon hearing Liu Ye's order, a man and a woman behind him had ferocious glints in their eyes.

Two figures moved as fast as lightning, charging towards Chu Chen, revealing their First Layer of the Cave Heaven realm.
