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

Chapter 305: Settle the Grudge (Subscription Request)
A quiet spring night with clear and bright moon.

There are 108 red lanterns hanging in Jingye Marquis's Mansion, thirty-six in the front yard, thirty-six in the middle yard, and thirty-six in the back yard. A faint red glow flickers in the darkness.

Originally, it should have been a festive atmosphere, but in such silence it seemed very strange, as if this mansion that had been passed down for thousands of years had become a tomb, intending to bury the people in it.

The wind blew gently.

In the dead silence, in the courtyard,
The red lanterns jumped one after another, making the shadows larger and smaller.

Faintly, under the cover of the dark red light, wisps of pink smoke flowed around the edge of the lantern and spread to the entire Jingye Marquis Mansion.

Red and pink are clearly distinct, yet intertwined.

Suddenly, a cold white light flashed by - a long knife came out of the pavilion beside the pond in the backyard and landed in the front yard in the blink of an eye!

He was seriously ill and stood with his hands behind his back.

Different from the old butler in the past, he looked calm and composed at this moment, even having an air of looking down on the world.

"Oh~ Such a strong smell of blood~" Wen Renying's charming laughter echoed over the Marquis' Mansion. There was a little surprise, but more of it was full of confidence, "You are really worthy of being the 'bloody slaughter' Chen Ke who is well-known in the martial arts world~"

"Since the Lord of Baishen Sect is here in person, why bother hiding? Why not show up and have a cup of tea?"

Chen Kuang held his head high, with his long gray hair combed neatly and tied into a bun at the back of his head. Inserted in the bun was not a hairpin, but a flying knife with only a blade.

"Don't be impatient~ I dare not overstep my authority until the master arrives~"

"grown ups?"

Chen Kuang paused, a complex look flashed across his eyes, and he turned to look at Zhou Tiance who was sitting in front of the stone table drinking alone.

"Master, the person you are waiting for has arrived."

Zhou Tiance kept moving and raised his hand to take a sip of wine.

A long spear stood beside him, with a short blade at the end of the spear sticking straight into the stone slab. The spear body was as black as ink, and even under the illumination of an oil lamp, no luster was reflected. The tip of the spear was two feet long and almost touched the main beam of the pavilion.

"You are a guest from afar, please wait."

Zhou Tiance spoke incoherently, his skinny hands grasped the wine jug and poured another glass steadily, his gray face showing an unusual redness.

Chen Yan hummed in response.

As he raised his hand, the long knife suddenly fell into his hand. The blood grooves on the blade were shining dark red, as if blood was flowing through it. The strong smell of blood spread in the pavilion.

The fierce sword intent enveloped the pavilion and protected it, like a crescent moon, with the blade facing outwards.

"Ho ho..."

Wen Renying flew over and landed her graceful figure on the opposite side of the pond. Nine pink fox tails fluttered in the wind behind her, making her look charming and enchanting. Every move she made seemed to be captivating and alluring.

"The old marquis is still sensible~"

"'Demon girl', you are truly an outlier among the evil heretics!" Chen Yan said in a cold tone: "However, given your relationship with the God Worshiping Sect and the Demon Court, that master is willing to accept you. Really... the world is going downhill!"

Wen Renying's smile froze for a moment, then she covered her mouth and smiled charmingly: "My Lord has a broad mind. How can a wicked person like you guess what he has done?"

"Ah!"

The corners of Shen Yan's lips twitched, his palm fell on the hilt of the knife, and he sneered: "I admit his talent and cultivation, but I still despise his behavior!"

"you……"

"Back off." Chen Yi's calm voice spread around the pond, interrupting Wen Renying's words.

"Sir~ He said something bad about you~" Wen Renying's eyes suddenly turned red, pointing at Chen Yan and complaining in a tender voice: "You can't let him go~"

Chen Kuang ignored Wen Renying and looked towards the main hall of the central courtyard in the direction of the voice, his expression becoming serious.

"I see."

"Lord Yingwu Hou, when you left the Spring Rain Sword here, you thought of this day, right?"

In his swordsmanship, Chen Yi did not hide his whereabouts, and he appeared in the main hall of the central courtyard as soon as he appeared - the blade of the Spring Rain Sword trembled slightly, and joy was revealed in the sound of the sword.

Chen Yan looked at the long sword in his hand and couldn't help but sigh.

The weapons used by martial arts practitioners do not differ in magic weapons or magical instruments. The best one is the one that suits one. If a weapon can give birth to a spirit, then it is an excellent weapon.

Therefore, in the perception of Shen Yan's sword intent, he vaguely saw the prototype of the spirit of the Spring Rain Sword.

"Yan!"

Chen Yi also looked at Chunyu Jian, and a smile appeared on his calm face. "Please forgive me, old friend, for taking so long to pick you up."

As if hearing his voice, the Chunyu Sword trembled even more, with joy visible to the naked eye.

But before Chen Yi could wave his hand, the small jade sword suddenly flew out from his wrist, turning into a residual shadow that dragged around the Chunyu Sword. The crisp sound instantly covered the sound of the Chunyu Sword.

"Want to rebel?"

A clear and tender voice came from the small jade sword, and the tip of the sword tapped the Spring Rain Sword frantically, as if it was teaching a lesson to the younger generation.

"Before, I was following the master's orders to protect the mistress. Now that I'm back, do you still want to steal my limelight?"

"Yan!"

The Chunyu Sword shook even more violently.

Although I couldn't hear its sound, it was clearly a rebuttal.

"Hey, you still want to resist? I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death..."

Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw this scene. His murderous intent was somewhat dissipated by Xiao Yujian's disturbance.

Seeing that Xiao Yujian had no intention of stopping, he had no choice but to wave his hand to grasp the hilt of Chunyu Sword and hang it around his waist.

"Master... you already have someone else, why do you still want it..."

"Have you forgotten? You are my biggest trump card, so naturally I need a younger brother to be your thug."

Chen Yi looked at Xiao Yujian hanging down with a wronged look on his face and could only say a few words to comfort her.

"That's more like it. Oh, one more thing. My master promised me that he would give me a body made of precious materials. My requirements are not high. Why not use ten thousand year cold iron and star diamonds to forge my body using the Hundred Refining Method, and then quench it with water from the Netherworld River. When I come out of the furnace, I will drink the blood of a hundred demons, preferably the blood of a great demon king, which will taste good..."

Chen Yi: “…”

The Spring Rain Sword kept shaking - chanting, chanting, chanting.

"It's all up to you."

Chen Yi said a few words of comfort and promised a blank account book with ease.

He has never seen cold iron, star diamond, water from the Netherworld River, etc. He will wait until he finds them in the future.

I believe that by that time, he will not be reluctant to replace Xiao Yujian.

After the incident, Chen Yi gathered his thoughts and walked to Wen Renying's side.

He did not look at Chen Yan, but his eyes fell on Zhou Tiance. When he saw the spear beside him, his eyes couldn't help but turn cold.

Chen Yi would never forget that this was the spear he saw outside the gate of Kyoto Prefecture when he and Lin Xueru were abducted by Fengshan.

"Old Marquis, with a spear at your side, you are still as majestic as ever."

Zhou Tiance paused in his drinking, slowly put down the glass, looked over with cloudy eyes, and wrinkles on his skinny face.

"Seeing Marquis Yingwu in person, I can no longer deny my age."

Zhou Tiance said with a fake smile, then looked at Wen Renying and said:

"'Witch', you seduced me earlier. Thanks to you, I forgot many sad things in the past."

"Old Marquis, the past is gone, you really shouldn't think too much about it~" Wen Renying leaned towards Chen Yi, and her fox tail circled around Chen Yi's back intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't dare to fall down.

"But it's useless to think too much. How can a spent force be compared with an adult? If you just bow your head, you may live to a ripe old age."

Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "Go guard outside the door."

Wen Renying felt a chill in her heart and dared not say anything more. She flew away with a wry smile.

It seems that she has become a little too proud of herself because of all the good things that have happened to her recently. How can she make decisions for the adults regarding the Zhou family's affairs?

Damn it, damn it... I won't dare to do it again! Without the witch present, Chen Yi stared at the two people in the pavilion and said coldly:
"The old marquis drove away his family and servants, and guarded the huge mansion with the old butler. Did he ever regret what he did?"

"Regret?" Zhou Tiance chewed on these two words, his eyes suddenly fierce, his haggard face still full of murderous intent, "What I regret most is that I didn't give you a poison during your Zhou-Zhua ceremony!"

"I regret not letting the 'crazy old man' kill you that night, and I regret even more that I let you safely join the Taixu Dao Sect!"

"If it weren't so, how could you stand in front of me in one piece? You... cough cough..."

Chen Yan walked over silently, patted him on the back, took out another pill and stuffed it into his mouth, saying in a sobbing tone:

"Chen Yi, now that you are the Marquis of Yingwu, do you really want to take action against an old man privately?"

"If I hadn't been unwilling to take action, you would have died in Wu'an Marquis's Mansion. Even if you had the protection of the Taixu Dao Sect, you would still not be able to escape death."

Chen Yi's expression was completely cold, but he laughed instead: "An old man?"

"When one of you, a martial arts marquis and a powerful person in the supernatural realm, targeted my brother and me, why didn't you think about our age at that time?"

"One year old! Two years old! Three years old! Even when my brother and I finished our studies and went down the mountain, we never stopped!"

When Chen Yi thought of those things and then of Chen Yuan's experience, his anger continued to rise.

Even though he has now broken through to the fifth level of supernatural powers and can remain calm in the face of any difficulties and obstacles, he still cannot let go of the past.

Especially when Chen Yuan went to Nanman, Zhou Tiance actually ordered the people of "Qianlong" to betray him secretly, which led to the death of Senior Sister Ling Yinrong and also made Chen Yuan's mind affected by Juedao.

They did such evil things, yet they still wanted him to follow the rules and let the emperor and the court punish them?
"Your Zhou family has fallen to this point today, it's all your own fault, you don't deserve anyone's pity!"

Chen Yan was naturally aware of this, and he sighed secretly, then looked at Chen Yi and said:

"The master doesn't have much time left to live. I wonder if Marquis Yingwu can give me a few days to see him off to the last day?"

"Once the matter is settled, I am willing to go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion and die to atone for my crime!"

He knew that Chen Yi would not return empty-handed, but he was more aware of Zhou Tiance's health. He would die in three years at most or half a year at least. He really didn't want Zhou Tiance to not be able to rest in peace.

"Ahem... Chen Ke, stop, stop talking..." Zhou Tiance's face turned pale. After his breath calmed down, he managed to pull his head and said, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since Marquis Yingwu has come here, he will definitely not be sent away by a few words from you."

After saying this, he pushed aside Chen Yan's support, raised his hand to hold the black gun, propped himself up and looked at Chen Yi:
"All the mistakes are my fault, Marquis Yingwu, please let me go..."

"Let them go?" Chen Yi glanced at Chen Kuang and said coldly, "I will not let anyone from your Zhou family go. Whether it's you, Chen Kuang, Qianlong, or Zhou Guanwu, I will find them all and kill them one by one!"

"Zhou Guanwu?" Chen Yan was startled, frowned at Chen Yi and said, "The young master died in Beixiong Pass a long time ago, you..."

"You don't know?" Chen Yi interrupted him, "Didn't the old marquis even tell you the truth?"

Chen Yan turned his head to look at Zhou Tiance, and asked with a little doubt: "Master, could it be that the young master...he is not dead?"

Zhou Tiance's face darkened.

After a few breaths of silence, Zhou Tiance sighed and looked depressed: "He is right, Guan Wu is indeed not dead."

Chen Yan was stunned. He looked at Chen Yi, then at Zhou Tiance, and spoke with difficulty:
"Why is that?"

"I don't know the reason, but I know he is not dead."

"You don't know?" Chen Yi laughed, as if he had finally found a way to relieve his anger more than killing these two old men with one sword:
"You don't know, you just don't believe it!"

"Because you know the truth is so cruel that you dare not even think about it. You are afraid that if it is really as you guessed, you will collapse mentally!"

“No, stop talking!” Zhou Tiance growled angrily, “Marquis Yingwu, if you want to kill me or chop me up, I have no complaints, but Guan Wu… don’t say anything!”

Chen Ken's face looked grim, as he suddenly thought of past events - during the Battle of Beixiong Pass, there were rumors in the court that Zhou Guanwu was colluding with the Demon Court!
"Could it be that the rumor is... true?"

Otherwise, it would be hard for him to believe how Zhou Guanwu survived the monster's mouth!
Chen Yi sneered, "Old Marquis, you are actually quite pitiful. The grandson you value most, the successor of Marquis Jingye, is the culprit that caused all the descendants of the Zhou family to make decisions."

"I guess you don't know why he did this? It's ridiculous. Zhou Guanwu sold all of you out in order to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation!"

"Originally, you, old marquis, would have died at Beixiong Pass, but unfortunately you were lucky enough to escape. I have to say that Zhou Guanwu is incompetent!"

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Zhou Tiance's eyes were bloodshot and he screamed like a madman at him to shut up. The loose purple robe on his body was propped up by his true energy, and he rushed out waving his spear while agitating himself.

click!
Facing the spear, Chen Yi did not even draw out the Spring Rain Sword, but pointed his finger directly at the tip of the spear. "If Zhou Guanwu had not passed on the Jingye Army's marching formation strategy to the Demon Court, why did only your Zhou family die in Guanshang?"

"Why did he fake his death and get away?"

"Old Marquis, you obviously know everything, stop deceiving yourself!"

Chen Yi flicked his finger and sent Zhou Tiance flying with pure physical strength. "You wanted to take over someone else's nest and seek revenge, but in the end you even got the enemy wrong. How pathetic and ridiculous!"

Zhou Tiance struggled to get up, still screaming: "Lie! You lie!"

"Guan Wu, Guan Wu is not that kind of person!"

Chen Yi stared at him, his expression inevitably somewhat bored.

"Seeing you so helpless and incompetent, I really feel ridiculous for you."

Chen Yan watched all this in a daze, and actually agreed with Chen Yi's words in his heart.

If this is the truth, then everything Zhou Tiance has done over the past few decades can only be described as "ridiculous"?

However, after seeing Zhou Tiance still struggling to get up and about to rush towards Chen Yi again, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Marquis Yingwu, please forgive me..."

Before he finished speaking, a long sword suddenly rushed out.

The sharp sword intent raged, and streaks of blood cut through the night sky, blocking Zhou Tiance in front of him.

Then Chen Kuang followed closely behind, holding the long sword and making a killing move - stepping on blood without leaving a trace!

"If you want to kill me, you need to recover from my serious illness first!"

Ding!
Chen Yi did not dodge or evade. When the sword intent was approaching, the Chunyu Sword was suddenly unsheathed and his figure floated out.

Supernatural power: so close yet so far away!
In the night, only a purple shadow could be seen flashing by, followed by two silver-white cold lights——

"Roar!"

The White Tiger divine will stood in the void and let out a roar. With the instant blessing of the killing divine will and the star that breaks the army, the power of this sword has reached the fifth level of supernatural powers.

The next moment, the sword flashed, the tiger roar echoed, and the white tiger's divine will dissipated.

“You…” Chen Yan paused, the long sword he had swung fell, he turned around and looked over, and said with a bitter smile: “What a cruel sword.”

"Well, Master, you will go to the netherworld with me, which is a repayment for my kindness."

"Ah, ah, ah..." Zhou Tiance's mouth was bleeding. He looked at the bloody hole in his chest, and the blood could not stop flowing:
"Old, I will never believe that Guan Wu is that kind of person..."

Chen Yi retracted the Spring Rain Sword and calmly walked past the two people and walked out.

"Let me tell you one more thing. Zhou Guanwu and the Demon King Fengyue gave birth to a daughter, the half-demon princess Xiaolan, Zhou Xiaolan."

"However, the princess did not admit this, and could not accept a father who killed his relatives!"

These two sentences were far more powerful than the sword he had just used, and every word hit Zhou Tiance's heart.

"You, you...you come back..."

Zhou Tiance’s eyes widened as he struggled to hold Chen Yi, but as soon as he took a step, he fell down.

"Come back... Impossible... He can't possibly..."

He knew that Zhou Guanwu had a daughter born to a demon, but he never imagined that the offspring he was talking about would be a half-demon princess.

Born to Demon Emperor Fengyue...why is that?

"God is so unfair! Why does he treat my Zhou family like this?!"

With a cry of grief and anger, Zhou Tiance opened his cloudy eyes and stopped breathing.

Not far away, Shen Yan sat on the ground, looking at him with a wry smile, quietly waiting for death to come.

He thought of the days when he roamed the martial arts world. If he had not joined the Jingye Marquis Mansion, he might have died in the feuds in the martial arts world, but he would definitely not have experienced these conspiracies and plots.

"This old man has lost his life..."

He is not loyal enough, he lacks benevolence and righteousness, and he is not ruthless enough... He is not a good person, but he is not extremely bad either. He is truly a failure.
