I'm only one year old, what the hell is the counterattack system?

Chapter 405 Strike while the iron is hot! (Please subscribe)
Don't blame Lu Chen for being so angry.

The Barbarian Emperor's Demon Court suffered such heavy casualties: two ancestors died, over a hundred great demon kings were killed or wounded, the Barbarian Emperor himself was also killed by Chen Yi, and every single one of the great and small demon kings who came was killed by Chen Yi.

Although no great demon kings of the Fengyue Demon Emperor lineage perished, only 20% of the demon kings and demon generals who came from the Tianyuan Continent are still alive.

The losses were devastating.

However, under these circumstances, Chen Yi still demanded that the Demon Court compensate the human soldiers for the losses suffered over the past thousand years.

This is no longer just taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

It's not about "taking advantage of your weakness to kill you," it's a blatant threat!
Not to mention Lu Chen's anger, even Hu Baiyi, the great demon king who was responsible for cooperating with Chen Yi throughout the process, was in a complicated state of mind at this moment.

From Chen Yi's perspective, it could understand why Chen Yi did this.

In this battle, the human race has a huge chance of winning and can reap the benefits without lifting a finger. They can indeed take this opportunity to put pressure on the demon court.

From the perspective of the Demon Court, Chen Yi's actions were tantamount to repeatedly trampling and rubbing the Demon Court underfoot.

If the casualties of the Demon Court hadn't been so great today, there would have been no need for the Wind and Moon Demon Emperor to say anything more. Chen Yi's previous words alone would have been enough to drive the Demon Court's patriarchs into a frenzy and fight to the death.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

Fox Bayi looked at Chen Yi with a complicated expression, knowing in his heart that the Demon Court had been completely suppressed by this young man today.

No, not just today.

Perhaps for the next few years, or even decades, the Demon Court will be suppressed by the human race.

For now, we can only be patient and wait for the time being to recuperate and allow the Demon Court to rise again.

After shaking his head inwardly, Fox Bayi spoke loudly: "Congratulations! The Barbarian Emperor is dead, and the human race and my Demon Court have turned hostility into friendship."

"I wonder how the Azure Dragon Sword Immortal wishes to draw up a contract? And how much compensation will be required to cover the human race's losses over the past millennium?"

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon glanced at it, sighed inwardly, and then said:

"Let's talk in detail, Chen Yi."

Seeing that she had agreed, Chen Yi smiled and then put away the jade pendant in his hand. "Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is a man of his word, and I trust you completely."

"Given the current situation, our human race needs a highly respected witness to enter into a contract with your demon court. What do you say?"

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon was taken aback and asked, "Whom do you want to be a witness?"

Chen Yi's smile faded, and the phantom images of the white tiger and azure dragon in the sky also dissipated, leaving the sky and revealing the "Bridge of Heaven and Earth".

He then bowed and said, "I am Chen Yi, a sword cultivator from the Tianyuan Continent. I would like to ask all of you Daoist Zhao Muzi to be witnesses to the contract between the human race of the Tianyuan Continent and the Demon Court."

Zhao Muzi?
The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon looked up at the sky with suspicion.

When she first arrived at the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, she was unaware of the significance of the name "Zhao Muzi" in this world.

The person who commands such respect from Chen Yi is clearly no ordinary individual.

Even the human race's Old Ancestor Baishan, Second Master, and other great demon kings like Fox Bayi, did not know who Chen Yi was referring to as "Daoist Zhao Muzi."

But soon, they all found out—

A gentle laugh echoed through the heavens and earth, not a deafening roar, but a calm and composed sound as gentle as the wind.

After the laughter came a single word: "Good."

Without any superfluous words, just one word, the world fell silent.

Then, when everyone looked up at the sky, they saw the same scene as at the beginning of the great battle.

— Several towering figures were scattered around the "Bridge Between Heaven and Earth".

There was a Taoist figure sitting upright on a cloud.

There is an ancient Buddha standing on a twelve-tiered lotus platform, bathed in Buddha's light.

There was an old man with a dark complexion, who was riding on black clouds and picking his nose.

There was also a dashing old swordsman dressed in a blue robe with a long sword hanging at his waist.

The others, each with a different expression, all smiled as they looked down at the world below.

Or rather, they looked down from the top of Mount Taizhou at the foot of Mount Taizhou, as if they were standing at the pinnacle of all living beings.

Scan around.

Regardless of whether they were human or demon, all eyes were on the white-haired Taoist priest sitting atop the misty clouds.

Master Zhao Muzi?
While he was puzzled, Chen Yi smiled and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Daoist Master. Please forgive this junior for speaking so rashly."

He wouldn't really be considered reckless.

His ability to help the human race severely damage the demon court this time was not only due to his own decisiveness in killing, but also largely due to the two supernatural powers and divine intentions given to him by Daoist Zhao Muzi.

Without that Great Dream Divine Power, he could never have killed so many demons with that sword strike.

Without that enormous, all-encompassing handprint, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Barbarian Emperor.

Therefore, Chen Yi, with the idea that "the more debts one has, the less one worries," asked Daoist Zhao Muzi to see the situation, harboring the thought of "solving the problem once and for all."

To accomplish everything in one battle sounds simple, and it's simple to do.

However, if we want the Demon Court to obediently fulfill the subsequent contract, it would be best to have someone they fear as a witness.

In this way, Chen Yi can go to the Tai Zhou Mountain region with peace of mind, without worrying that the human race will be oppressed by the Demon Court again.

As for whether he can repay this "favor" or "cause and effect" in the future, that's something to consider later.

At least at this moment, he has already bound himself to "Xun Wangtian".

Upon hearing this, Zhao Muzi smiled and nodded: "Young friend, there's no need to be so polite. Now that this matter is settled, I look forward to your visit to Taizhou Mountain soon."

Upon hearing this, the elders of the human race bowed respectfully.

Even the aged-looking Baishan Ancestor and Hongtian Ancestor performed this grand ceremony as juniors.

"Many thanks to Daoist Zhao Muzi for his help!"

"Thank you, Daoist Master, for helping my human race!"

"Thank you..."

Led by the ancestor, the powerful figures, soldiers, and cultivators of the human race, as well as those who had just awakened from the Great Dream Divine Power and were still in a daze, all bowed in respect.

Ten million?

Nearly a billion people worshipped Zhao Muzi together, and their voices, when combined, resounded throughout the entire Tai Zhou Mountain region.

Even the lofty "Bridge of Heaven and Earth" seemed to be startled by this sound. The originally still bridge trembled slightly, and the expressionless heavenly soldiers and generals on it seemed to have gained spirit as they looked down at the earth.

The "Nether River" was the same; the still water seemed to ripple as it flowed down from the mountaintop, with a lone boat appearing and disappearing on its surface.

At that moment, the sound was deafening.

The radiance followed closely behind, appearing like a "bridge between heaven and earth," drifting hazily towards the sky, with scattered stars falling down.

As Chen Yi looked at the scene before him, his mind stirred slightly. The world of intertwined Daoist threads reappeared before his eyes, and he could vaguely see countless indistinct clumps of threads behind him, suddenly rising upwards.

It seems to have branched off from the "Heaven and Earth Bridge" and connected to Daoist Zhao Muzi.

This……

It is best to follow the principles of Tao rather than to follow "causal lines".

Otherwise, wouldn't his words just now have harmed Zhao Muzi?

Thinking this, Chen Yi looked at Zhao Muzi, only to see that he was still smiling gently, while the surrounding figures showed envy.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that this is not a bad thing for Daoist Zhao Muzi, but a good thing.

"You need not think too much. I agree to your request, young friend Chen Yi, both for your sake and for my own."

Zhao Muzi smiled and explained, then nodded to Chen Yi, "Young friend, you can make the decision."

Chen Yi bowed again. At this moment, Sun Xushi, the "general" on the other side, smiled and shook his head: "Master Zhao has given so much before, he deserves this opportunity."

"Having earned the respect of the human race of Tianyuan Continent, your crisis in Xunwangtian has been largely resolved."

The monk Fuchen chanted "Amitabha" and said in a gentle tone, "Congratulations!"

The old ancestor of swordsmanship beside him said, "Congratulations, Daoist Master."

But the old devil's tone was somewhat sour: "If I had told you there was such a good thing, I would have gotten involved too."

No matter how sour he was, he still had to respectfully congratulate Daoist Zhao Muzi at this moment.

Zhao Muzi glanced around, bowed, and said, "Today I have received the kindness of the human race of Tianyuan Continent. I hope that you fellow Daoists will give me some face."

"Easy to say..."

The crowd naturally echoed this sentiment.

Even Sun Xushi and Monk Fuchen of the "Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss" did not say anything to his face.

Then Sun Xushi nodded, "This matter is settled. See you next time, and I will discuss the Dao with you again."

As he spoke, his figure gradually disappeared.

The monk Fuchen glanced at Chen Yi, gave him a smile, and then disappeared into the horizon.

The others naturally did not linger.

Zhao Muzi then spoke up, saying, "This humble Taoist will be waiting for you at Mount Taizhou."

Who are you waiting for?

Needless to say, Chen Yi watched him leave, a smile appearing on his face.

With Daoist Zhao Muzi as a witness, the Demon Court would not dare to violate the subsequent contract.

However, what he was still concerned about was the crisis in Xunwangtian that the "general" had mentioned earlier.

If what the human race did today is beneficial to Daoist Zhao Muzi, then he will be able to have an easier time in the future.

At this moment, Chen Yi and the human race looked relaxed.

The demon court officials, however, looked as if they had lost a close relative; their faces were all extremely grim.

The dragon deer, who had already returned to the Demon Court, looked at the figure that had disappeared into the sky with a gloomy expression, and felt a little regretful about his actions just now.

It was originally thought that the supernatural power and divine intent that Chen Yi used earlier came from the ancient Taoist court, but now it seems that it knew that the supernatural power came from the Taoist in the heavens.
This is even more terrifying than the supernatural powers and divine will passed down from the ancient Taoist court.

Because of that Taoist priest, Chen Yi can use two jade tokens today, and four tomorrow.

As long as that Taoist priest doesn't perish, Chen Yi can continuously obtain those supernatural powers and divine intents in a short period of time.

motherfucker.

Lu Chen cursed inwardly, his original plan to find an opportunity to ambush and kill Chen Yi vanished.

With a powerful expert above the tenth level of supernatural abilities as his backer, what's the point of fighting?
Lu Chenyi wasn't the only demon with this thought; the great demon kings on the battlefield, such as Fengyue Demon Emperor and Hu Bayi, also felt a chill in their hearts.

Clearly, they all realized that they would no longer be able to suppress the human race of Tianyuan Continent.

Until a figure comparable to Daoist Zhao Muzi appears in the Demon Court, it will be difficult for them to muster the courage to attack and kill human cities again.

The Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon thought about the future, sighed inwardly, and regained his composure. "Azure Dragon Sword Immortal, now that we have a witness, let's quickly establish a contract."

"As for the future... I hope that you and I, the human race and the demon court, can live in peace."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "That's what I think too. I don't want to kill unless it's necessary."

Bullshit.

The Demon Emperor cursed inwardly, deciding he should stop killing.

If he truly loved peace so much, then who was the one who killed millions of demons with that single sword strike?
Regardless of what the Demon Queen of Wind and Moon thinks, the situation of her Demon Court and the human race will indeed change in the future.

However, the Demon Emperor of Wind and Moon was not without his own ideas.

She suddenly thought of something—was the half-demon princess Xiaolan also involved with Daoist Zhao Muzi?

After all, the powerful figure who could enable Xiaolan to contact Chen Yi, who was on the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain, must be someone like Daoist Zhao Muzi.

If so...

It seems that she can also use Xiaolan to get closer to Daoist Zhao Muzi.

At the very least, we must ensure that Daoist Zhao Muzi remains neutral between the human race and the demon court on the Tianyuan Continent.

At present, however, Chen Yi seems to have a closer relationship with Daoist Zhao Muzi.

"Let's leave it at that for today. Our ancestors, please return home."

"Fox Bayi, Mu, and Changkong, the three of you are responsible for negotiating with the human ancestor and must finalize the contract as soon as possible."

After the Demon King of Wind and Moon finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the other great demon kings to leave first.

The Shadow Demon and the others hesitated for a moment, glanced at the corpses of the demons lying dead and wounded below, and then swept them away with a wave of their hands.

This time, the Demon Court needs to compensate the human race for its losses, so the remains of these millions of demon kings and generals cannot be left to the human race.

It's important to know that among them are powerful demon kings at the Divine Power Realm, making the blood cores within their bodies extremely valuable.

Even if they are not used to compensate the human race, the Demon Court, which suffered heavy casualties, needs these blood cores to help the younger generation of the clan improve their cultivation as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Demon Court to contend with the human race in the short term.

Even so, given the current situation, the human race and the demon court no longer need to fight each other.

Seeing this, Chen Yi watched the Demon King of Wind and Moon and his entourage of demons leave, then smiled at the White Mountain Ancestor and the others, saying:
"I'll leave the rest to you elders."

The elders, including Baishan, Hongtian, and the Second Master, nodded in agreement, their joy evident in their expressions.

"Today, everything has exceeded our expectations, I..."

Before Hong Tian could finish speaking, Bai Shan raised his hand to interrupt, "What nonsense are you spouting? Our losses today have been so heavy, how is this in line with expectations?"

Hong Tian was taken aback. He glanced at the demons who had not gone far and the old ancestors of the demon court, including Hu Baiyi, who were still standing in place, and then he understood.

He immediately slapped himself twice, saying, "I was so confused by the beating I received from the Demon Court that I misspoke."

The second gentleman smiled and shook his head, then immediately volunteered, "In that case, let me, Cui, negotiate with the Demon Court next."

"It should be so."

The Confucian sages were most skilled in rhetoric and theory, and with these two gentlemen involved, it is believed that they could secure more benefits for the human race.

Chen Yi spoke up, reminding him, "Second Master, don't forget about that passage; it's of utmost importance."

The second gentleman nodded in agreement: "Rest assured, I, Cui, will definitely build that passage to the Taizhou Mountain area as soon as possible!"

Compensation is secondary; what humanity urgently needs most is to break through the demon court's blockade.

As things stand today, if Chen Yi hadn't intervened and made prior contact with a powerful figure from Tai Zhou Mountain, it would have been impossible to get the Demon Court to submit obediently.

Only now did the elders understand the source of Chen Yi's confidence in pressuring the Demon Court.

A powerful being was watching the battle; if it were them, they would have taken advantage of the Demon Court's weakness to kill them as well.

"Alright, there are still many things to arrange. Go and get busy."

The White Mountain Ancestor gave Chen Yi a deep look, then raised his hand to signal the other ancestors and powerful figures:

"Once everything is settled in the near future, we will meet again to discuss the next steps."

Hong Tian and the others exchanged glances, then smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with Chen Yi before leaving one by one.

They knew in their hearts that after today's events, the human race should have another ancestor emerge.

He is also the youngest ancestor of the human race in a thousand years.
