44: Chapter 44 Borrowing these swords from the entire city, I will slay you from the Immortal Platform.

Above Night City, the firmament underwent a strange transformation as pitch-black clouds covered the entire sky over Night City.

A voice boomed like a thunderclap.

"Brat, how dare you kill my son! Today, even if you flee to the heavens or burrow into the earth, you will not escape."

At this moment, every cultivator in Night City felt an incomparably powerful pressure that left them unable to breathe.

"It is City Lord Liu Yao. I heard his son was killed by a young prodigy at the Divine Sword Villa. He must be here for revenge."

"No, he should go find that young man if his son was killed! What is the point of taking it out on us?"

"Bang!"

The next second, the cultivator who had just complained exploded into a mist of blood.

This terrified everyone into silence.

At the Divine Sword Villa, Wangquan Wuxin looked at the young man before him and asked in confusion, "Young Friend Chu, why have you not yet left Night City?"

"Villa Master Wang, do you think I should hide if an expert of the Xiantai Realm is looking for me?" Chu Chen retorted.

"Boom!"

A beam of white light shot straight down from the firmament, piercing the earth.

The figure of Liu Yao manifested.

His eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Chu Chen.

"Brat, pay for my son's life with your own!" Space shattered as a giant golden palm, carrying terrifying power, slammed toward Chu Chen.

Wangquan Wuxin shouted, "Liu Yao, fight if you must, but do not destroy my Divine Sword Villa!"

He then looked at Chu Chen, "Young Friend Chu, there are so many places you could have gone; why did you have to choose my Divine Sword Villa?"

However, neither of them paid him any mind.

"Chu Xiaozi, I will now transmit my source power to you."

The giant golden palm crushed space itself. If Chu Chen did not block this strike, he would perish and his soul would dissipate.

"Swish!"

Just then, Chu Chen's cultivation realm began to skyrocket, reaching the Divine Fire Realm.

"Chaos Seed Golden Lotus!"

The surrounding environment transformed, and a towering golden lotus blocked the giant golden palm that was descending upon Chu Chen.

Powerful chaotic energy radiated from the golden lotus, instantly shattering the giant golden hand.

Seeing this, Liu Yao's eyes turned cold. "It is actually the Chaos Seed Golden Lotus. It is understandable that my son died at your hands."

"However, even if you have awakened the strongest phenomenon since ancient times, you will die today."

"No!" Chu Chen replied.

"Your son was very weak; he was not worthy of me using the Chaos Seed Golden Lotus."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yao's face turned livid. "You yellow-mouthed brat, you will die today."

As he spoke, a python-sparrow condensed behind Liu Yao.

Yet, it was not over. A dragon's roar was heard, and a massive green dragon coiled around the python-sparrow.

The next moment, both struck toward Chu Chen.

Chaotic energy wrapped around Chu Chen, and the golden lotus bloomed before him.

A thunderous explosion rang out.

The golden lotus shattered, and Chu Chen's phenomenon dissipated, returning the scene to its original state.

"Chu Xiaozi, this person is an extremely powerful existence within the Xiantai Realm. I estimate he is only one step away from entering the Saint realm."

"And since you are only temporarily borrowing my source power to raise your cultivation realm, you can barely reach the Divine Fire Realm. This battle is likely to be perilous," Ming Yuan warned.

Chu Chen wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth as Indestructible Sword Intent radiated from his body, shooting straight into the firmament.

Above the firmament, a white immortal sword manifested.

Chu Chen shouted with a booming voice, "I borrow the swords from the hands of the sword cultivators in this Night City!"

"Boom!"

As he spoke, the precious swords in the hands of all the sword cultivators in Night City began to tremble, and the next moment, they flew directly toward Chu Chen.

Liu Yao mocked, "Brat, do you think you can stop me from killing you by borrowing these worthless scraps? Ridiculous."

Seeing all the swords in Night City flying toward Chu Chen, Wangquan Wuxin had a bad premonition.

Chu Chen did not reply but shouted again, "And I borrow all the immortal swords in the Divine Sword Villa!"

Indestructible Sword Intent enveloped the Divine Sword Villa, and the next moment, the swords throughout the Divine Sword Villa began to hum.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

As more and more swords resonated, all the immortal swords on the Divine Sword Villa flew out on their own, instantly breaking the seals of the Divine Sword Villa and flying toward Chu Chen.

An incomparably sharp sword energy erupted from the underground of the Divine Sword Villa, carrying even a trace of Saintly intent.

Wangquan Wuxin cursed, "Damn it, this god-forsaken brat! I knew nothing good would come from him choosing my Divine Sword Villa."

"He even summoned the Saintly sword that is the trump card of my Divine Sword Villa!"

Seeing this, Liu Yao furrowed his brows. If it were just those scraps, it would be fine, but he did not expect this brat to summon the Saintly sword of the Divine Sword Villa.

Liu Yao immediately looked at Wangquan Wuxin.

Wangquan Wuxin looked at Liu Yao with an innocent expression, "It was not me. I cannot control that Saintly sword either."

The Saintly sword stood above Chu Chen, while the other swords filled the entire sky.

Chu Chen said coldly, "Liu Yao, today I borrow these immortal swords from the entire city, and I will definitely strike you down from the Immortal Bridge Realm."

"Hahaha, you boastful brat! You are just a cultivator who forcibly raised his cultivation to the Divine Fire Realm. Even with a Saintly sword, how much of its power can you actually unleash?"

"Who will strike whom down today remains to be seen!"

"Hah!" Liu Yao roared, and blood-colored clouds obscured the sun across the entire firmament.

"Witness my Three Slashes of the Blood Blade!"

Countless blood-colored blades condensed within the blood clouds, and soon, a terrifyingly massive Blood Demon Giant Blade pierced through the clouds and slashed toward Chu Chen.

Chu Chen was not idle either. With the Saintly sword at the lead and the other swords following behind, a supreme immortal sword was instantly forged.

Under the enhancement of the Indestructible Sword Intent, a trace of Saintly might radiated, and it slashed toward Liu Yao as well.

The moment the Blood Demon Giant Blade and the supreme immortal sword collided, an aura of destruction permeated the entire Night City.

Space shattered, and the space storm created by the collision swept toward everyone.

In an instant, countless cultivators in Night City were shredded by the space storm.

Wangquan Wuxin shouted loudly, "If you two continue fighting, the entire Night City will likely be destroyed! Stop now!"

However, Chu Chen and Liu Yao did not cease their attacks.

They were determined to reach a conclusion, or rather, to decide life and death.

"Chu Xiaozi, stop! Your body can no longer sustain such a powerful consumption. If you continue like this, you will die of exhaustion," Ming Yuan shouted anxiously.

Liu Yao was not having an easy time either. As a dignified expert of the Xiantai Realm, he was actually evenly matched with a young brat, and there was even a faint risk of being suppressed by him.

Chu Chen's eyes were filled with madness as he said, "Die!"

The Indestructible Sword Intent turned into substance and shot straight into the Saintly sword.

"Swish!"

The next moment, the Saintly sword vibrated, and a wave of Saintly might swept out.

Liu Yao was instantly severely injured, vomiting blood as his body smashed into the ground like a meteor.

"Crack!" After releasing this final Indestructible Sword Intent, Chu Chen's body cracked, and black blood flowed out.

The massive immortal sword shattered, turning into countless small swords that fell from the firmament.

In the battle between the two, nearly half of the people in Night City died, and this was even with Wangquan Wuxin doing his best to isolate the energy storm.

The casualties were so heavy.

Chu Chen's body was battered and broken, unable to move a muscle. Similarly, Liu Yao had been severely injured by the Saintly might and was now in a half-dead state.

Quietly, the ten thousand soul banner flew toward the sky above Night City.
