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

Chapter 324 See if you can do anything to me (Subscription required)

Inside the painted boat, Emperor Wei and the others noticed Chen Yi, who was late, and their faces showed different expressions.

Especially Zhenbei King Du Qing, if he wasn't extremely cunning, the expression on his face would definitely not be so calm at this moment.

But even so, there was still a hint of fear in his eyes.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who are too successful will threaten their ruler. Even though he was the King of Zhenbei, one of the three kings of different surnames in the Wei Dynasty, he was still under pressure from the royal family of the Wei Dynasty.

However, Marquis Wu'an, Marquis Taishan and Marquis Jingye, who guarded Beixiong Pass, were all under his jurisdiction. Among his subordinates, Marquis Wu, there emerged a figure who was influential in the emperor's heart, which was naturally a threat to him.

Especially since Chen Yi has now reached the peak of his career in terms of fame, cultivation, and in the eyes of the emperor, this will make King Zhenbei wary.

Such fear has nothing to do with Du Qing's mind or cultivation, but rather it's about being prepared for danger in times of peace and how to deal with oneself.

That's why he would try his best to protect the Wu Hou who would succeed Jingye Hou, or at least to ensure that the future Wu Hou would have no connection with Chen Yi.

But after hearing the reply from the butler he sent to ask Chen Yi for his opinion, his plan failed, and even the result was no longer important.

After hearing the news, the emperor has decided that the Marquis of Wu who will take over from Marquis Jingye to guard Beixiong Pass is Lian Lixuan, a general under the command of Marquis Wu'an Chen Taiping, and he is given the title of Marquis of Wu!
Listen, this title,

It is not the Honorable Marquis Bei, nor the Honorable Marquis Wei, but the Honorable Marquis Wu, the "Wu" from the Marquis Wu'an and the Marquis Yingwu!
How could Du Qing not think about this?

With this thought, Du Qing collected all his thoughts and even smiled slightly as he asked:

"Zunwu Hou, have you ever had contact with Yingwu Hou before?"

Lian Lixuan, who had just returned from Northern Zhili to Kyoto Prefecture to be awarded the title of "Zunwu Hou", paused after hearing this, then bowed and said to him loudly:

"Reporting to the prince, Lian only saw him once during the Yingwu Marquis's one-year-old birthday ceremony, and never saw him again after that."

In fact, the second time he saw Chen Yi from afar was when Chen Yi returned from the Demon Court and reunited with Chen Taiping.

However, he could never have imagined at that time that the world would change so drastically. After decades of hard work, he would be able to rise to prominence overnight and become Marquis Wu, who had the same status as Marquis Wu'an Chen Taiping and Marquis Taishan Wang Xidu.

Until this moment, he still remembered what Chen Taiping said when he said goodbye to him - Lixuan, this time the emperor wanted to let the prince choose a military marquis, but Yier took the initiative to suggest promoting one from my Wuan Army. Do you know the pressure involved?
Lian Lixuan certainly knew what the pressure was.

The Chen family of Wu'an Hou has been passed down for thousands of years. They have never played tricks and schemes like Zhou Tiance did. They have always focused on Beixiongguan. Now, because of the rise of Chen Yi, they have even achieved the grand occasion of "three marquises in one family".

Although Chen Yuan's escape caused the Chen family to have the "Three Marquises" for a very short time, it was enough to make the famous families, nobles, and royal families in Kyoto Prefecture wary.

Now that he, a general from the Wu'an Army, has taken over the position of Marquis Wu, if he fails to do a good job, it will not only hurt his Lian family, but will also inevitably implicate the Chen family and Marquis Yingwu Chen Yi.

He had no choice but to act carefully.

"The ceremony of the first birthday... Oh," Du Qing looked at Chen Yi who was floating in the distance with the divine power of swordsmanship, and nodded with a smile, "Later, Marquis Lian will have to make friends with Marquis Yingwu. After all, you..."

He glanced at Emperor Wei covertly, and seeing that he was looking at him as well, he just smiled and said nothing more.

Lian Lixuan also looked at Emperor Wei, but he did not shy away from it. He bowed and said with clear eyes:
"I would also like to thank Your Majesty for trusting me, otherwise I would still be in Northern Zhili to rectify military affairs."

Emperor Wei sat upright on the golden throne and said a few words of comfort with a smile, "I have long heard that the Marquis of Zunwu is the bravest among the Wu'an Army. I hope that the Zunwu Army can reach a higher level in the future."

"I will do my best!"

"Okay, this is the last round of the event. Let's not talk about state affairs today. Let's concentrate on watching the performance of the geniuses of our great Wei Dynasty." Emperor Wei waved his hand, but his eyes turned to King Zhenbei.

Du Qing was silent for a moment, then he bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right."

After saying that, everyone turned around and looked at the two arenas on Quchi.

In fact, the appearance of Zunwu Hou not only made Zhenbei King Du Qing unhappy, but also made a number of civil officials and nobles unhappy.

After all, Jingye Marquis has made the final decision on the succession, and the Jingye Army is leaderless. This is a great opportunity for the civil officials to overshadow the Wu Marquis faction.

However, because of Chen Yi, because of the emperor's partiality, and because of the concession of Xie Jing, the head of the civil officials, Lian Lixuan, who came from the Wu'an Army, took the position...

It can be said that except for the Chen family, Chen Yi, and a few others like Emperor Wei, everyone else had complaints about this.

But no matter what they thought, now that Yingwu Marquis Chen Yi was in front of them, they dared not reveal the slightest bit.

at the same time.

Chen Yi came forward with a sword step, a fierce and murderous sword intent filling his body, like a long sword with an exposed edge, suddenly falling on the ring.

He looked around and his eyes fell on the genius in front of him. His expression was calm and serious, and without any nonsense, he released the Thousand Machine Tower with a flick of his hand and stood directly on the edge of the arena.

"Since it is a martial arts competition, then martial arts should be respected."

"This time, I personally went to the Demon Court and captured sixty demons. The lowest level of cultivation was the lower stage of the third-grade Tianhe realm, and the highest was the upper stage of the first-grade realm. However, the techniques and bloodline abilities they cultivated are unknown, and some are strong and some are weak."

"The rules of this martial arts competition are that each of you will choose your opponent based on your own cultivation and skills. Whether you choose a lower third-grade or upper first-grade opponent is up to you."

"It's a round-robin match. Each time you win a third-grade lower-level demon, you get one point. The higher the score, the higher the ranking. If the scores are the same at the end, there will be another round until the winner is determined."

Chen Yi paused, glanced at the Tianjiao, and asked calmly: "Are you clear about the rules?"

Lin Xueru and Xiao Xuanzhen looked at each other and both felt that Chen Yi in front of them was weird, but that did not stop them from nodding.

Xie Dong'an, Wei Nantian and other people who had contact with Chen Yi had similar feelings in their hearts, but with the grand event approaching, they did not have time to think too much.

"Follow the rules set by Marquis Yingwu."

Seeing this, Chen Yi nodded and said, "Okay, let's get started."

"The first genius to appear is Hong Chenxing from Qinghe Academy!"

Then a scholar in a long gown stepped out from among the more than 30 geniuses who were participating in the martial arts competition and bowed:

"I have met Lord Yingwuhou."

"First opponent, which one do you choose?"

Hong Chenxing hesitated for a moment, "I want to try the demon with the lower third level of cultivation first."

"it is good."

Chen Yi waved his hand, and a leopard monster walked out of the Thousand Machines Tower behind him, with cultivation level at the lower stage of the third level.

The leopard monster had a ferocious look. As soon as it appeared, the shadow cast by its ten-foot-tall body enveloped Chen Yi and others.

It looked down at Chen Yi, then looked around, grinning as if it understood something:
"Little Sword Immortal! Remember what you promised me. If I win, you will let me return to the Demon Court!"

Chen Yi glanced sideways and said coldly, "My word is as good as gold. I will naturally abide by what I promised you."

Hearing this, the leopard demon's gaze fell on Hong Chenxing, who was wearing a scholar's gown. The ferocity on his face became even more ferocious, and the two fangs protruding from his lower jaw sparkled in the sun.

"Come on, then, hoo--"

As it roared, in an instant, dark clouds covered the sky above Quchi. The dark demonic aura around it condensed into a set of black armor, and a huge long sword appeared in its claws.

Chen Yi took a look, waved his hand and led the other geniuses to retreat to a corner of the arena. Immediately, the sword intent spread, and four silver-white sword lights shot up into the sky, covering the area around the arena to prevent the residual power of the fighting inside from affecting the stands and pleasure boats beside the curved pool.

"Let's start." "Yes..."

Hong Chenxing looked up at it and swallowed subconsciously. Is this a demon general of the lower stage of the third rank?
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a first-grade demon king in the virtual realm. The demonic power and murderous intent are far beyond his imagination.

Even Hong Chenxing was like this, let alone the martial artists and common people who were watching the fight around.

The first moment they saw the leopard monster, they were dumbfounded.

For them who had lived in Kyoto Prefecture all year round and lived in peace and security, demons, like bandits and evil spirits, were all legends in vernacular novels or from the mouths of storytellers and had never appeared so clearly before their eyes.

Even those in the noble families and sects who have some knowledge have mostly seen evil demons or some small monsters that are not up to par. How could they have ever seen a great monster above the third level that can speak human language?
Therefore, at this moment, most of the spectators in the stands and in the pleasure boat were staring at the leopard monster in a daze.

"Is this the great monster outside Beixiong Pass?"

"My God, I once encountered a big monster hiding in the forbidden area. Compared with this, it's nothing."

"It's terrible...too terrible...if such an evil spirit were to invade the territory of the Wei Dynasty, I can't imagine who would be able to escape its claws..."

"This kind of power is really scary!"

In the pleasure boat, Emperor Wei shifted his gaze away from the leopard monster, and after glancing around, his expression became inexplicably bitter.

"Just one demon general has already made the people of Wei Dynasty feel fearful. If they saw tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of demons charging towards us, or hundreds of thousands of demon generals with raging ferocity, wouldn't they be scared to death?"

The Emperor of Wei couldn't help but swear. He really didn't expect that the common people, noble families and martial artists in the Wei Dynasty would be like this after seeing the demon general.

"It's a disgrace to me, and to the Wei Dynasty!"

The master looked at Xie Jing, who lowered her eyebrows and looked obedient, shook her head secretly, and said:

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Isn't this exactly what we hope for? All the demons are blocked outside Beixiong Pass, so the safety of the Seventeen States of Wei Dynasty will be protected, and the people will not feel anything."

"No, this is not what I expected!" Emperor Wei snorted, "Left Prime Minister, I thought that Marquis Yingwu was just bragging because of his high level of cultivation. Now it seems that he should enlighten the people of our dynasty!"

"I must not only let them learn to read and write, but also let them know the safety of the borders of our Great Wei Dynasty, let them know that it is not easy for our Great Wei soldiers, and let those people from the aristocratic families who live in a corner know that they can eat, drink and have fun now because someone is guarding them!"

"I want everyone in the world to understand that without me, the ministers in the court, and the military marquises protecting them, everything they have now is just a mirage!"

Xie Jing pursed his lips slightly, glanced at the ministers nearby, and silently stood up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I beg you to give me your order. I am willing to be the pioneer in this matter!"

Then the civil officials followed him and knelt down.

On the other hand, the King of Zhenbei, the King of Zhennan, and the surrounding Marquises were all looking at Emperor Wei quietly with smiles on their faces.

How many of these civil officials know the situation at the border, and how many have seen the army of demons?

No, let alone the army of demons, even just "leaping over the Dragon Gate" is enough to scare many people.

What the Emperor of Wei said was exactly what Wu Hou and his faction wanted - to pacify the world with military force, this was not just talk!

But at this moment, the person who was most shocked was Hong Chenxing.

"The sage said, draw a line on the ground to make a prison!"

Hong Chenxing's cultivation had also reached the third level, and his righteous aura was not weak, but he lacked experience in fighting demons.

It was just a famous saying from a saint, which only stopped the leopard demon for a moment before it rushed out and chopped down with the long knife in its claws in an instant.

"die!"

"As the sage said, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!" Facing such terrifying power, Hong Chenxing's face turned pale, but he was unwilling to give up. He bit his tongue directly, and the great aura in his body emerged again, and his figure appeared five feet away.

boom!
The long sword chopped down on the ring, and a huge roar accompanied by a ferocious demonic aura swept out to the surroundings.

"Haha... this is the human race's genius? He's vulnerable!"

“It’s so vulnerable, hahahaha!”

The leopard demon's expression was both ferocious and full of mockery. Even though it was now a prisoner, trapped in this arena as a touchstone for the human race's genius, it was still unstoppable.

"You run pretty fast, but the arena is so small, where can you escape to?"

"Be obedient and let me chop you to death, so as to avoid damaging the reputation that the Little Sword Immortal has worked so hard to gain. What do you think?"

Chen Yi frowned slightly and looked at the demon with displeasure.

He underestimated the wisdom of the intelligent demons. Although these two sentences seemed arrogant, every word was a threat to his heart.

Not only was the anger directed at Hong Chenxing of Qinghe Academy, it also aroused the anger of the martial artists and common people in the surrounding stands.

"Kill it, kill this big monster!"

"Confucian scholar from Qinghe Academy, don't let me look down on you!"

"Hurry up and kill it——"

Even the gentlemen from Qinghe Academy in the pleasure boat were somewhat dissatisfied when they saw the performance of the Confucian scholars from their own school.

However, their dissatisfaction was not only directed at Hong Chenxing, but also at the examiner Chen Yi who used demons as a touchstone for geniuses.

"Xing'er is only fifteen years old. She is extremely talented and could even become a saint within a few decades. If such a genius were to be defeated by a great monster, the blow to him would be..."

"Although Marquis Yingwu's test this time has its purpose, it is still a little early for these geniuses."

"That's right. Unfortunately, it's useless for us to say more now. I just hope Xing'er can turn the tide and kill the big monster."

"Disaster……"

Hong Chenxing did not hear what the gentlemen said, but he heard the roars of the spectators around him.

It has to be said that Chen Yi made the right choice by finding demons as opponents for these geniuses.

For these geniuses, competing with other geniuses is nothing, but if they have to fight against demons... none of them have the confidence.

Of course, for Xie Dongan, Wei Nantian, Xiao Xuanzhen and other geniuses who had witnessed monsters and barbarians besieging them in the secret land of Southern Barbarians, the big monster before them could only be considered "ordinary".

At this time, a layer of platinum light appeared around Xie Dongan, and he shouted in a serious look:
"Don't be afraid, Hong Chenxing. Let the people around you see that scholars like us also have blood in our veins!"

"That's right, kill this beast!"

Upon hearing this, several other geniuses from academic institutions spoke up to encourage him.

This is the only way. If the first genius from an academy is defeated by the demon, the impact will damage the reputation of Qinghe Academy and other universities.

"Kill it!"

The leopard demon glanced and was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, but suddenly saw Chen Yi's eyes, and immediately shrank his head and looked directly at Hong Xingchen:

"Come, come, come, let's see if you can do anything to me!"
