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

Chapter 162: Bridge of Heaven and Earth (Subscription Request)
In the end, Chen Yuan did not kill Wei Jinyu.

After splitting the tombstone, he found Ling Yinrong dozens of feet underground.

In the dark and deep dungeon, there was no light at all.

Ling's voice and appearance were so clear.

She closed her eyes tightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, still with a satisfied smile.

There was dried blood on his chest, staining the collar of the tattered gown he had just found.

Chen Yuan looked at her in a daze, feeling a little overwhelmed.

He wanted to laugh but couldn't, and he wanted to cry but couldn't either. In the end, he almost used up all his strength to force out a smile.

"Sister, I'll take you to a safe place."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan wiped the blood and dirt off her body with slightly trembling hands.

He was very careful in his work and did not dare to overstep the line.

Wei Jinyu squatted on the ground, watching Chen Yuan busy in the dungeon, his eyes fell on Ling Yinrong.

She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't notice that her vision had become blurry.

The sadness that permeated the surroundings made her eyes moist unconsciously.

It was not until Chen Yuanyue came out, chopped down an ebony tree, and used a long knife to make a coffin like painting that Wei Jinyu wiped his eyes and said:

"Hey, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Yuan seemed not to hear her and had no intention of paying any attention to her.

Wei Jinyu puffed her lips and looked at Ling Yinrong, whose clothes were torn. She rolled her eyes and said:
"I have a few spare dresses here, do you want them?"

Chen Yuan then stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her, his face expressionless and his eyes containing an indescribable look.

Calm, or dead silent, with a very faint fluctuation.

Wei Jinyu felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and turned sideways and said:
"No peeking."

Having said that, she jumped down into the cave and started busying herself.

Chen Yuan took a look and realized her plan, so he retracted his sword intent and concentrated on making the ebony coffin.

Although it is a simple product, he put a lot of thought into it.

There was a layer of leaves inside the coffin, and flowers decorated on all sides. He also specially found a piece of jade to use as Ling Yinrong's pillow.

He did everything to the extreme.

But the regret, self-blame and guilt in his heart were like a burning fire.

Everything was ready. Chen Yuan stared at the ebony coffin in a daze.

A breeze blew through the forest, and light passed through the gaps between the leaves, casting itself on the white hair on his forehead and making his eyes flicker.

In a trance, Chen Yuan came to the nothingness deep in his heart.

The black-haired "Chen Yuan" sat cross-legged in the dim void, looking at him with a sarcastic expression.

"Hehe, hahaha...can't you hold on any longer?"

"I told you before, you can't."

"Even with the help of your second brother, you can't do it!"

Chen Yuan with long silver-white hair remained silent, his eyes moving slightly as he looked at the little Chen Yi hiding in the corner.

The nursery rhyme rang in my ears.

The black-haired Chen Yuan started cursing again, staring at the little Chen Yi with his blood-red eyes, humming.

"Fuck you, next time I see you, I will kill you, you bastard!"

"You rely on your extraordinary talent in swordsmanship to force me to leave. Humph!"

Listening to his yelling, the white-haired Chen Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Do you believe what my second brother said about 'resurrection'?"

"Believe? Believe him!" Black-haired Chen Yuan snorted, "Only an idiot like you would believe it."

"Reincarnation and rebirth are completely different from resurrection. If there really is such a technique, which of those old monsters would die?"

"Apart from anything else, with the powerful strength of the first generation of Absolute Blade, would he not try to snatch it?"

"Do not be silly……"

The white-haired Chen Yuan glanced at him, his mind returned to his body, and the ebony coffin was reflected in his eyes.

A moment of silence.

It was not until Wei Jinyu's voice came from the dungeon behind him that Chen Yuan came back to his senses, and his slightly sad eyes gradually became firm.

"What my second brother said must be true!"

"No matter what, I will go to Taizhou Mountain to look for it!"

Chen Yuan stepped forward, picked up the ebony coffin and jumped down into the cave. Looking at Ling Yinrong who had changed into clean clothes, a hint of tenderness appeared on his face.

Originally, Wei Jinyu wanted to say something, something witty or asking for some benefits.

But when she saw the tenderness on Chen Yuan's face, she couldn't say a word.

She could only stand there quietly, even trying to slow down her breathing.

Wei Jinyu watched Chen Yuan pick up Ling Yinrong and carefully put her in, watched him tidy up the sister's hair, and watched him close the coffin.

Inexplicably, she felt a little envious, but more of it was curiosity. She suddenly wanted to know the story between Chen Yuan and Ling Yinrong.

I wonder if it would be like in the story books, with the knight and the beauty falling in love and understanding each other.

After Chen Yuan closed the coffin, it was enveloped by a dark blue sword intent and layers of frost condensed on the coffin.

Only when he could no longer see the darkness inside did he carry the coffin on his shoulders and leap out of the dungeon.

"I'll take you to Zhennan Pass."

Wei Jinyu followed and heard this suddenly. He shook his head and said, "No."

When she saw Chen Yuan walking towards the north on his own, she had no choice but to pout and follow him.

"Not even a thank you..."

After mumbling for a while, Wei Jinyu came over again, put his hands behind his back, leaned forward and asked:
"Chen Yuan, can you tell me about you and this...sister?"

no respond.

"Tell me about it, and consider it as payment for my dress?"

Chen Yuan continued walking on his own.

He walked very steadily, as if he was worried that the coffin was unstable and that Ling Yinrong would be uncomfortable.

The dark blue sword intent was like a streamer, sprinkling crystal drops along the path he walked.

Wei Jinyu was speechless and could only stare at Chen Yuan who did not respond.

After a while, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared again, and she followed him laughingly.

"Tell me, I promise not to tell anyone else."

"Hey, Wood..."

……

In the end, Chen Yi did not get any "reward" from Li Qingzhou.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

But Li Qingzhou really couldn't produce anything that would be appreciated by a sword cultivator in the supernatural realm.

Pills, weapons, armor, magic tools, etc., are really not suitable for a swordsman holding a long sword.

Heart to heart.

As for Li Qingzhou himself, apart from his cultivation and swordsmanship level, he also does not need any external objects.

Nothing.

Chen Yi left with excitement and returned with disappointment.

He could only think about it and find other ways to make up the remaining fifteen counterattack points.

Seeing his disappointed expression, Li Qingzhou didn't know what to say.

"Brother Qingzhou, your disciple... is really different from others." Mr. San exclaimed with a strange look on his face.

Monk Hui Jing nodded and then shook his head and said, "People with extraordinary talents usually have strange personalities."

"Is it weird?" Li Qingzhou thought of the scene when he first met Chen Yi. He also asked for a "meeting gift" after the fight. He couldn't help but laugh and cry.

That kind of inexplicable behavior is indeed not in line with the identity of a genius, nor is it consistent with the sword skills of the supernatural realm.

"Let's go to Zhennan Pass first."

"Tell me on the way."

Then Mr. San gathered everyone together and took them to fly towards Zhennan Pass with a wave of his hand.

Chen Yi sat cross-legged on the clouds, looking at the dense forest below, his mind feeling a little complicated.

He gained a lot from this trip to the southern barbarians.

Not only did he solve the problem of spiritual orifice cyclones, he also reached a rare level of thirty-six spiritual orifice cyclones, and also improved his cultivation to the third-grade Tianhe realm.

He also completed the task of "Who in the world doesn't know you?" and his swordsmanship was further improved to the realm of supernatural powers, gaining the sword intent of the White Tiger God.

Plus the little blue dragon that was subdued in the secret realm...

It can be said that his strength has increased ten times compared to when he was in Qianmo Cliff.

But at the same time, Chen Yi felt a little disappointed.

In addition to the incidents involving demons and southern barbarians, there was also the matter between Chen Yuan and Senior Sister Ling Yinrong, which inevitably gave him the feeling that "sometimes even strength cannot relieve sadness".

There wasn't much he could do but to keep getting stronger until he became the strongest.

Only in this way can he better protect the people around him.

Lin Xueru, Xiao Xuanzhen, Flower Fairy, Ning Xue, as well as Zhan Hongxiu and Lu Cheng who have already gone to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, as well as Chen Taiping and Xia Wanwan who are far away in Kyoto Prefecture.

The existence of these close people made Chen Yi feel a sense of belonging to this world.

“Sometimes life is easy, and sometimes life is hard.”

The flower fairy sat beside him, lowering her head slightly and quietly, not noticing anything unusual about him.

Instead, Xiao Xuanzhen on the other side noticed that Chen Yi was distracted and couldn't help but touch him.

"Junior brother, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Yi came back to his senses, glanced at her, and said, "I'm thinking about the battle situation outside Zhennan Pass."

Xiao Xuanzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "What's there to think about? The barbarians have been surrounding us for so long, we can just kill them when we get there!"

Chen Yi shook his head and said, "You can't just do it casually."

The border garrisons have their own rules, and it is not a place where people like them who are not in the official circle can act recklessly.

Unless you receive an order from the defending general, any random action may affect the situation on the battlefield.

Xiao Xuanzhen curled his lips and said, "I listen to Uncle Li. If he says to take action, I will go and kill those barbarians."

Chen Yi burst out laughing, thinking she was joking.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Li Qingzhou who was not far away and said, "Master, there is one more thing I want to report."

"It's about your brother and his appearance, right?"

"Master already knows?"

Li Qingzhou transmitted his voice: "I have learned the whole story from your Senior Brother Changle."

"Then you..." Chen Yi asked carefully: "What do you think?"

A moment of silence.

Li Qingzhou sighed and said, "It's hard to predict what will happen in this world. Since this is Yinrong's choice, let's just leave it at that."

Chen Yi felt relieved, "Thank you for your understanding, Master."

Li Qingzhou nodded slightly, then asked, "Your swordsmanship has reached the realm of divine power, right?"

Chen Yi paused, then said with a smile, "I can't hide it from Master."

After receiving a positive answer, Li Qingzhou smiled and thought for a moment before saying:
"When I was your age, my swordsmanship was far behind. It was only after I went to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield that I was able to advance to the supernatural realm."

“But because of this, there are many restrictions.”

"Oh?" Chen Yi said suspiciously, "I had previously guessed that you and Mr. San and the others could not act arbitrarily. Is this true?"

Li Qingzhou nodded, looked at the dense forest below, and said thoughtfully:
"Your cultivation has reached the Tianhe realm. It is inevitable that you will be summoned to the Taizhou Mountain battlefield. Your master will not hide it from you."

"In fact, any person or demon that enters the Taizhou Mountain battlefield will leave a mark of their breath at a place called 'Heaven and Earth Bridge'."

"This mark not only represents an identity symbol that allows one to freely enter and exit Taizhou Mountain, but it also serves as a constraint for everyone."

Mark, constraint...

Chen Yi thought for a moment and asked, "What will happen if I take action?"

Li Qingzhou said: "You will be punished by the Heaven and Earth Bridge."

"Of course, it's not that we can't take action, but we can't use power beyond the Grandmaster level."

"This is also the reason why Mr. San, Monk Hui Jing, and I could only watch you being surrounded and killed."

After hearing this, Chen Yi suddenly realized that everything could be explained.

"Master, when you say 'Grandmaster Realm', do you mean cultivation or technique?"

Li Qingzhou understood the meaning of his words and smiled, saying, "It's cultivation, of course."

"But your situation is special. Your sword realm is far beyond your cultivation level, and your strength is not much different from that of an ordinary grandmaster."

Chen Yi blinked and asked, "My disciple's strength should not be up to par yet, right?"

Li Qingzhou immediately said with a smile: "You don't think it's easy to achieve perfection in sword intent, do you?"

"On the current Tianyuan Continent, most of the techniques practiced by the Grand Masters are only at the Great Perfection stage, and very few have reached the Clear and Illuminated realm."

"This demon is consistent with our situation. Otherwise, how do you think Zhennan Pass and Beixiong Pass could have held out until now?"

"It's because almost all people and demons who are stronger than the Grandmaster are restrained by the 'Heaven and Earth Bridge'."

Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "So, now I can still make a move at will?"

Li Qingzhou smiled even more and said, "Before you enter the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, you can indeed attack at will."

After a pause, he changed the subject and asked, "Do you know how many people with extraordinary talents like you have appeared?"

Chen Yi shook his head. He had just learned about the restrictions and limitations, so how could he know so much?

"Since the Wei Dynasty came into being, there have only been three, one of whom is our master."

"Grandmaster Mu Qing?"

"Yes, Patriarch Mu Qing was the most powerful man in the world back then. He has been killing people all the way since he came down the mountain."

"Not only did she scare the demons and barbarians, but even the Buddhist countries in the Western Continent did not dare to cross Luofu Mountain easily when she was around."

At this point, Li Qingzhou said with some regret: "The rise of a new generation of geniuses will change many things, but they are also too sharp."

"In fact, you were right to conceal your sword skills earlier."

"Otherwise, if it gets leaked, no matter if it's demons, barbarians, or your peers, they will have a hard time tolerating you."

Chen Yi frowned, "Why is this?"

He could understand the hatred of foreign races such as demons and barbarians, but would he understand the hatred of peers?

Li Qingzhou seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and smiled and shook his head, saying, "Master is not referring to the Tianyuan Continent, but the battlefield of Taizhou Mountain."

At this point, he said meaningfully: "Your peers are not just Xie Dongan and his friends."

"You will understand all this when you enter the Taizhou Mountain battlefield. That bridge is both a restriction and a protection for us."

There is something in the words.

Chen Yi could hear it, but he wisely didn't ask too much, and nodded:
"Should we wait until the event is over?"

"Maybe."

When Li Qingzhou thought about the situation on the Taizhou Mountain battlefield, his expression became slightly complicated.

There were many things he could not express in words, and only by seeing them with his own eyes could he understand them clearly.

At the same time, due to some restrictions of rules, there are some secrets that even he cannot reveal.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Chen Yi also remained silent.

Looking at the lush forests along the way and the majestic Zhennan Pass looming in the distance, he couldn't help but laugh.

"It's good news that they can act without restraint..."
