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

Chapter 20 Malice from the Strong
Chen Yi supported his weak little body and walked over to the two human traffickers, turning up their lapels and cuffs.

Lin Xueru was hiding not far away. She wanted to see him but was afraid of seeing the corpse and blood on the ground. She asked timidly, "Brother Yi, are you not afraid?"

"I am afraid, but even if I am afraid, I must not forget to search for spoils."

Chen Yi answered perfunctorily, his tone slightly disappointed.

He only found two purses on the human trafficker, but did not find the letters or other things he was looking for.

Come to think of it, given Zhou Wanyi's cautiousness, it is impossible for her to leave any obvious evidence.

However, it was in line with her usual style to just abduct him away from Kyoto Prefecture instead of killing him.

Chen Yi didn't understand why his existence bothered the old lady.

"The spoils of war," Lin Xueru glanced at him quickly, "are you referring to the money?"

"Yes and no."

Chen Yi calmed himself down and pulled her towards Kyoto Prefecture.

As they walked, he taught: "For bad guys, not only should you beat them to death, you should also learn how to make good use of them."

"It's like these two bags of money. If they were given these two bags of money, it would only cause countless people to shed blood and tears. But if they were given to me, it would be different."

Having said that, Chen Yi looked at her with a serious expression.

"I'll use the money to buy you your favorite cakes!"

Lin Xueru was still wondering what was different, and was stunned when she heard these words out of the blue.

After she realized what was happening, she burst into laughter, a sweet smile on her face, and her two dimples were so cute.

"Brother Yi, you are so nice, just like my second brother."

"Of course, we are all your brothers!"

On the way back, Chen Yi kept telling jokes to prevent the previous murder scene from leaving a shadow on Lin Xueru.

After all, she was really a child who had just turned three years old, unlike him who was a young man in his twenties with a young body.

Not long after the two children left, a hunched man in black appeared next to Ren Yazi's body.

Those cloudy and dim eyes looked at this "battlefield".

"Sword cultivator, huh?"

The man in black waved his hand gently, causing a breeze to blow across the two corpses.

The strong smell of blood dissipated a little, and three shadows appeared in the air - simulating the battle that lasted only one minute.

"Two swords to cut off the head, cough no, that's not right, three swords."

The man in black looked at the dagger not far away. He raised his hand and the dagger fell into his hand with the breeze.

He touched the sword mark on the dagger with his index finger, feeling something carefully.

a long time.

"My little beast is so lucky. I can actually meet a sword cultivator who has just started to learn the art here..."

The man in black sighed, identified the direction, and his body disappeared like a bubble.

The speed is actually a few points faster than that of the crazy old man.

……

In the silent forest, the stars and the full moon shine through the bare dead branches, dispelling the darkness around.

Lin Xueru laughed for a while, then suddenly held Chen Yi's hand tightly and whispered:

"Brother Yi, the blessing of the ancestors' heroic spirits on the gifts for the first birthday cannot stimulate sword energy. Sword cultivation is required."

Chen Yi paused, then smiled and said, "I know, so this is our secret, right?"

"A secret? Can't you tell anyone else?"

"Well, not even your parents. If they ask, just say we both passed out."

"Oh."

Lin Xueru thought for a while, a trace of entanglement appeared on her face again, and she asked hesitantly: "Then you, do you still want me to protect you?"

Looking at her nervous look, Chen Yi couldn't help laughing, and his heart couldn't help feeling warm.

Is the little girl afraid that she is not strong enough and that he no longer needs protection?

Thinking of this, he stretched out his little finger and shook it, saying with a smile: "Of course it counts if it's hooked."

Lin Xueru then started to smile, her eyes curved and as beautiful as the moon.

"Then Brother Yi, when I grow up, I will protect you like you protected me."

"Yeah, I'm waiting for that day to come..." After walking for an unknown amount of time, Chen Yi saw from afar the twinkling lights on the outer city walls of Kyoto Prefecture and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared along the way.

Fortunately, the crazy old man took the money and ran away, and those human traffickers did not chase him.

fine……

At this moment, the panel light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

[You are oppressed by the power of heaven and earth, and your body becomes sluggish. ]

[You are targeted by a powerful enemy, counterattack points +10]

As the words appeared on the panel, a suffocating pressure fell on Chen Yi.

His eyes suddenly widened. The malice of the strong, the power of heaven and earth?
"Yi, brother, brother?"

When Lin Xueru saw him stop, she looked puzzled.

But her voice fell into Chen Yi's ears very slowly, as if an invisible and intangible barrier appeared between the two of them.

It seemed as if under the pressure of that might, time slowed down and the surroundings instantly became quiet.

All he could hear was the slow, throbbing sound of his own heartbeat.

Chen Yi clenched his teeth and tried to hold on to his already weak body. His handsome face had turned red.

Even so, he still endured the terrifying pressure and slowly twisted his neck, trying to find the person who attacked him!

“Yes, who!?”

As his growl rang out, he saw a pair of eyes—a pair of eyes full of majesty and slightly turbid!
He could even see the cold murderous intent, as well as the complex expressions of hesitation and regret in those eyes.

Faintly, an old and hoarse voice could be heard saying "what a pity".

Then, Chen Yi felt the pressure on his body suddenly reduced and he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Xueru, who was standing next to her, shouted anxiously, "Brother Yi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare Ru Ru."

"Nothing, nothing."

Chen Yi gasped and replied in a dry and hoarse voice.

A pair of small hands were supporting themselves on the ground, and their face and body were wet with sweat.

"I, I thought you..." Lin Xueru's eyes were filled with tears, and she was obviously frightened by his appearance.

"Yier, Xueru?"

Just when Chen Yi wanted to comfort her a few more words, he heard a slightly anxious voice coming from not far away.

The two looked up.

Lin Xueru saw the figure clearly, her face lit up with joy, and then she pounced over with a pursed mouth: "Father..."

Father?

Is it Duke Xing, Lin Hansong?

Knowing that their rescuers had arrived, Chen Yi completely relaxed and sat down on the ground.

But in his mind, those eyes and the hoarse old voice that said "what a pity" still lingered.

Is it a pity that you couldn't kill me?
It seems that the sudden appearance of Duke Xing scared that person away...

"Can you still walk, Yier?"

Chen Yi came back to his senses and saw Duke Xing holding Lin Xueru, and nodded with a pale face.

"Then let's go. Your family is waiting for you to go back. We can talk about anything when you get home."

"Ah."

On the way back, Chen Yi remained silent.

This was the first time he felt a life-and-death crisis.

Even though he had been poisoned before, because the poisons were not lethal and with his sword skills, he never thought he would die.

But this time it was different—the man wanted to kill him and had the power to make him unable to resist.

After understanding, Chen Yi recalled it over and over again, as if he wanted to engrave those eyes and voice in his heart.

He remembered Duke Xing's kindness in rescuing him, and also remembered the person who attacked him.

To repay hatred with revenge, to repay kindness with kindness, this is his creed!

PS: Thanks to Jiace and Bakalakamiao for the rewards. Thank you very much!
