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

Chapter 424 The Five Demons of Demon Mountain (Please Subscribe)

As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is a world of its own.

The same was true in the Wei Dynasty of Tianyuan Continent, and also on Mount Taizhou.

The only difference is that most of the Jianghu people in the Wei Dynasty were cultivators of the middle and lower ranks.

In places like Tai Zhou Mountain, which has many realms, cultivators who can usually walk on the mountain and travel between different realms are at least at the first-grade level, and their techniques and methods have all reached the supernatural realm.

Only in this way can these people walk on Mount Taizhou.

Besides facing various forbidden areas and threats, the mountains are also inhabited by a diverse mix of people, including demons, humans, and barbarians, with no laws or regulations in place.

Using "chaotic" to describe it might be a stretch, but it does indeed follow certain dark jungle laws.

The weak eat the strong.

However, there are some places where certain rules need to be followed.

For example, the bustling streets outside the Blade's Edge Valley that must be passed through on this mountain road.

Few travelers, whether demons or humans, dare to act recklessly here.

Most people stop here to rest, eat and drink, and barter.

Or like Ah Lang, he could spar with others in martial arts.

Of course, it wasn't a free fight, but a gambling contest, with a casino set up nearby for betting.

“Alang has become stronger than before.”

"He was originally a top-notch body cultivator, with his cultivation level at the lower stage of the Celestial Realm, and his supernatural abilities and techniques had just reached the level of walking out of the bridge of divine will in the third realm."

"Now his cultivation has reached the upper stage of the Celestial Realm, and his physical cultivation has broken through the third realm to the fourth realm, and he already has the power of divine will manifestation."

With the two combined, the 'Flame Blade' on the other side was no match for him.

"However, it's also true that Ah Lang's cultivation has progressed rapidly. I heard that he often goes to some extremely dangerous realms and secret areas to cultivate. Ordinary body cultivators don't work as hard as he does."

"Yes, in our 'Golden Wind Street,' who doesn't know A Lang's reputation? He's a body cultivator madman who loves to drink. Ordinary cultivators wouldn't even dare to go into those secret realms or domains with him, let alone fight him."

Listening to the discussions among the onlookers around him, Chen Yi was slightly surprised.

I didn't expect Ah Lang to be so famous here.

Jinfeng Street?
Is it taken from "Golden Sharp Wind"?

It's a fitting name, though.

His eyes were fixed on the fight between Ah Lang and the swordsman, while his mind was focused on the Golden Wind Street behind him.

Even though it was late at night, the streets were still bustling with pedestrians.

However, most of the people come from the mountains; very few come from the Blade's Edge Valley.

To be precise, only Chen Yi had just crossed the Blade Valley.

After arriving here, most of them do nothing but rush into the taverns and have a big meal of wine and meat, as if they haven't eaten in decades.

While eating, they talked about what had happened on Mount Taizhou.

Some of it is true and some is false; you have to judge for yourself.

For example, right now, the most talked-about topic on Golden Wind Street is the secret realm that will be opened soon.

However, it's not that the secret realm itself is hidden, but rather that some powerful individuals are heading there.

"It's nothing new that geniuses and old monsters always show up when these kinds of secret realms open only once every thousand or ten thousand years."

"However, the difference this time is that there are more old monsters than prodigies coming out of the mountains. For example, the old demon king of the Demon Realm is said to be personally leading those demon cubs to the secret realm for training."

"I don't think I need to introduce the old demon to you all, do I? He is one of the few demons on Mount Taizhou who has slaughtered across the realms. The fact that he has survived until now without being killed is enough to show how profound his cultivation and supernatural powers are."

"Heh, if you were talking about Sword Dao Ancestor or Daoist Zhao of Xunwangtian, I wouldn't argue with you. But you're talking about the old demon, heh... He's only alive now because of the Demon Realm he inhabits."

"If it weren't for the fact that many demons in ancient times set up various deadly and bizarre formations in the Demon Realm, making it impossible for outsiders to enter, he would have been killed by some powerful figures from Buddhism and Taoism long ago."

"Oh? Brother, does that mean the old demon will be besieged and killed after leaving the Demon Realm?"

"That's not what I meant. There are countless monsters in that secret realm this time. Maybe we can let him escape."

"Hmph! Putting aside the old devil's ruthlessness, we must admit that he is powerful!"

"Even if they're strong, can they be stronger than Sword Ancestor and Daoist Zhao? It's said that Xun Wangtian will also be coming out in full force this time. With Daoist Zhao present, who would dare to be so blind as to make a move there?"

Hearing about Daoist Zhao Muzi's reputation, Chen Yi felt somewhat more at ease about this trip to the secret realm.

This time, apart from the half-demon princess, everyone else in Xun Wangtian is going to that secret realm.

However, the two Taoist priests, Zhao Muzi and Zhao Tianhe, along with the Eighth Prince, could only stay on the outskirts of the secret realm.

The situation in the deepest part will depend on him and Ah Lang.

Sword fanatic's swordsmanship has just broken through to the Divine Power Realm, and his cultivation is only at the First Grade Void Extreme Realm.

Qingfeng is only slightly stronger than Jianchi, and his Great Dream Heart Sutra only reaches the second level of the Divine Power Realm, with his cultivation barely reaching the upper stage of the First Grade Void Realm.

Little Willow is even stronger than them, reaching the third realm of supernatural powers.

With the addition of Alang, who was at the fourth level of supernatural powers, and Chen Yi, a sword cultivator whose cultivation far surpassed that of those deep in the secret realm, the strength of Xun Wangtian and his group was undeniably formidable.

Just as Chen Yi was thinking about these things, he heard many people talking about the dangers of that secret realm.

"Master Zhao is strong, but he can't go deep into the secret realm. It's hard to guarantee that the others in Xun Wangtian won't encounter danger."

"You should know that every time such a large-scale secret realm opens, countless geniuses and old monsters perish. Even many people from the 'Paradise of Bliss' died in the secret realm."

“That’s right. The danger of the secret realm itself is secondary; the key issue is that many evil spirits have infiltrated it.”

"The people from the Demon Realm are self-evident; they are constantly fighting within their own sects and territories, with the capable rising and the weak falling. The demons who come here must all be decisive and ruthless."

"I heard that three demon princes and demon princesses have emerged from the Demon Realm. They are known as the most talented people in a thousand years. They are only 20 years old, and their supernatural powers have already reached the fifth realm. Their demonic power is far beyond that of ordinary cultivators."

"There's also the 'Pure Land of Bliss,' those lunatics... uh, I mean those Buddhist esoteric practitioners. If any of them go to the secret realm, it will inevitably cause endless killings."

"At that time, in that secret realm, amidst the chaotic battle and carnage, who can guarantee they will survive?"

"There are dangers, but it is precisely these dangers that will allow the extraordinary talents of the next century to emerge."

"I have a high opinion of Jian Daotian's junior uncle. His strength reached the fifth level of the Divine Power Realm two years ago, and it will only become stronger now."

"There's also that body cultivation prodigy from the Myriad Laws Realm; it's said that his strength is even greater than Alang's."

"But in the end, a living genius is a genius; once you're dead, you have nothing left."

"Ah Lang, hehe, he's right outside fighting with the Flame Blade. If he hears this, there'll be another round of trouble."

Hearing this, Chen Yi stopped focusing his mental perception on Jinfeng Street.

In the end, one of them was right—the strong will always be strong, and only the most outstanding talents who survive can become the strongest.

"I've heard that recently many talented individuals have been killed after emerging from obscurity?"

"Indeed, several died. The third prince of the Qian Kingdom was killed not long after leaving the border. It is said that the king of the Qian Kingdom was furious about this and ordered all his guards to be mobilized to find the assassin."

"But how can we find them? Those parasites in the gutter are best at swindling and cheating. They specifically target young, promising talents who are new to the world, and they can make a fortune from just one deal."

"Yes, putting aside everything else, the rare and precious materials that the prince of Qian Kingdom and his party brought with them alone would be enough to ensure that the successful hunters would live a worry-free life for decades. If it were us, we would just find a secluded realm to cultivate in seclusion after killing them."

"There was also a Daoist nun from the Hengshan region, in the prime of her youth, but unfortunately she encountered a ruthless and deadly sword that destroyed her beauty. After ravaging her, the sword was still killed."

"What a pity! That fairy is said to be extremely beautiful. It's a shame we'll never have the chance to see her."

At this point, Ah Lang and Flame Blade had already decided the winner.

It should be said that the "Flame Blade" voluntarily admitted defeat. Although his cultivation was also at the Celestial Realm, his swordsmanship was too low. Even though he and Alang were both at the fourth level of the Divine Power Realm, the power of his sword intent was still unable to cut through Alang's skin. Continuing to fight would be pointless.

Of course, Chen Yi could tell that they were only exchanging blows and not fighting to the death.

Just as he was about to go over and reunite with Ah Lang, he saw several martial arts figures dressed in different styles come to his side.

He glanced at it casually and didn't intend to pay any attention to it.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

After these people came to his side, one of them quietly put his hand inside his clothes, and wisps of green smoke rose out.

The wisp of smoke was dim and seemed to drift aimlessly, yet it was heading straight for him with extreme precision.

The other person also held several flying needles in his hand, seemingly ready to respond to his counterattack at any moment.

Chen Yi sensed this and couldn't help but chuckle.

He had just heard that someone was specifically targeting young, unfamiliar faces, so he was being watched.

That does fit the description those people used.

[At forty-six years old, having reached the peak of the Celestial Realm, you were attacked by the Five Poisons Technique, a divine power unleashed by a powerful being at the third level of the Divine Power Realm. You have absorbed it. Reward: +2 Counterattack Points.]

[Since your comeback mission is not yet complete, the comeback points you gained will be converted into cultivation points.]

poison?
Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, instantly recalling some unpleasant memories.

Since he joined the Taixu Dao Sect, he has not been poisoned for a long time.

"Hmm? Be careful! He's unaffected by the Five Poisons Divine Power!"

The person who made the move sensed something was wrong and, instead of sending a telepathic warning, spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, the person next to him flung the flying needle in his hand toward Chen Yi.

"withdraw!"

The moment they made their move, the five of them seemed to have rehearsed it countless times before, as they simultaneously broke free and rushed towards the nearby Blade Valley.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Even some of the weaker people around them hadn't reacted yet, only hearing the word "retreat".

Then everyone around Chen Yi moved away, afraid of being implicated.

"run?"

Chen Yi gently patted the Spring Rain Sword.

With a crisp "ding," five silver-white sword intents appeared out of thin air above the heads of the five people.

The next moment, the sword intent pierced downwards, pinning them directly to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the five powerful cultivators at the Divine Realm who attacked him died on the spot.

"Forehead……"

"you?!"

"You, who are you..."

The five powerful figures turned around in a daze, trying to see clearly who the person they had just attacked was.

However, after only two movements, their sword intent erupted completely, and streaks of light flashed, tearing them to pieces.

bang, bang, bang...

Amid a series of muffled thuds, only five piles of smoothly cut limbs and severed bodies remained.

The people who were scattering and fleeing stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

A martial arts practitioner who recognized the person who made the move asked in surprise, "It was the Five Demons of Demon Mountain, was it them who made the move just now?"

"Although the Five Demons of Demon Mountain are not particularly strong, they never make a move without a purpose and rarely fail. But this time... these bastards have been blind and messed with the wrong person."

As everyone spoke, their eyes all fell on Chen Yi, their faces filled with surprise and uncertainty, clearly none of them recognized his identity.

However, this did not prevent them from clearly understanding the strength of the person in front of them.

He killed five powerful cultivators at the Divine Power Realm with a single sword strike.

And it was described so casually.

Such sword cultivators possess sword techniques that are at least at the fourth level or higher.

In a place like Jinfeng Street, powerful beings at the fifth level of supernatural abilities rarely show their faces, so naturally no one would be so foolish as to say anything.

Chen Yi glanced around, then calmly looked at Alang on the arena not far away, and asked with a smile:

"How should we handle this kind of situation?"

Upon seeing this, Ah Lang, who had been somewhat stunned, recognized him and immediately burst into laughter:
“Yi-ge’er, these evil heretics are dead and that’s it. The guards of Jinfeng Street will take care of them.”

He smiled as he slipped to Chen Yi's side, bumped fists with him, and then gave him a big hug.

"Yi-ge'er, when did you arrive?"

"I just arrived and saw you were fighting, so I didn't want to disturb you."

After Chen Yi finished speaking with a smile, everyone around him relaxed.

They might not know Chen Yi personally, but many knew A Lang, so they knew that Chen Yi was not some evil, bloodthirsty person.

As someone watched the two of them chatting and laughing, another person called out, "Hey, who's this young man?"

Seeing Chen Yi nod, A Lang stopped hiding it and replied, "My brother just came from down the mountain, a sword cultivator named Chen Yi."

"Haha... You must have just seen his strength. He is much stronger than me."

Sword cultivator Chen Yi.

Such a low-key name naturally suited Chen Yi's temperament. He followed local customs and cupped his hands in greeting to those around him.

Before long, several cultivators dressed in identical blue short-sleeved robes hurriedly arrived.

After confirming the identities of the five demons, they not only didn't make things difficult for Chen Yi, but also gave him several demon blood cores as a reward.

“The Five Demons of Demon Mountain have committed numerous evils on Taizhou Mountain. My Golden Wind Street also has a warrant for their arrest. Killing them will be considered as receiving the reward.”

Chen Yi looked at the three blood cores of the first-level Divine Power Demon King in his hand, smiled, and put them into his Sumeru bag.

Although there weren't many blood cores, it was still something to be happy about.

Moreover, he had been at Taizhou Mountain for six days and had reunited with Alang, so he was naturally in a good mood.

Compared to his unfamiliarity, Ah Lang was much more familiar with the place.

He cursed and shooed away the crowd, calling out to Chen Yi while simultaneously beckoning to the man who was fighting him with his "Flame Blade".

"Yi-ge'er, let me introduce you. This is 'Flame Blade' Yang Li, he's quite strong."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "Chen Yi."

The swordsman was burly and of ordinary appearance, but he possessed an air of arrogance.

Of course, his arrogance was nothing compared to that of Ah Lang and Chen Yi.

"It's fate that we met. Let's go have a drink."
