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

Chapter 354 Dilemma! (Subscribe)
After a stick of incense.

Zhan Hongxiu, Ning Xue, Lu Cheng and Jiang Yunni got together and headed non-stop towards the southern city wall of Youdu.

As they walked, Zhan Hongxiu said solemnly:

"Let's check the pills and other items that everyone has on them. I'll go first."

"One Cloud Mirror, two bottles of Turtle Breath Pills, one bottle of four Gold Origin Pills, and one set of Five Elements Illusion Array Plates."

Lu Cheng followed closely behind, taking out things from the Sumeru bag one by one.

"I only have one Jinyuan Pill left for healing, which should be enough. I also brought a bottle of demon powder. If things don't go well, we can turn into demons and return directly."

Zhan Hongxiu nodded approvingly, then turned her head to look at Ning Xue and Jiang Yunni and asked, "What about you two?"

"Like Senior Brother Lu, I brought some extra food, enough for the four of us to eat for three days." Ning Xue said with a gentle face and a soft voice.

Jiang Yunni patted the cloth bag across her waist and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. In addition to the several arrays I used before, I recently learned an array with a better concealment effect. It is difficult for demons at the third level of magical power to detect it."

Zhan Hongxiu smiled and said without turning her head, "Thank you, Junior Sister Yunni."

After a pause, she continued, "This mission is special. The captain of the scout camp, Zuo Guangyuan, specifically instructed us in a secret letter to take a detour of 200 miles in the direction of Diyan City after we leave Youdu, and then go to Luoshi Demon Village from the frontier stronghold."

"In addition to investigating the movements of the corpse demon village, the most important thing is to find out whether the corpse demon is in the demon village."

"I'm afraid we have to go a thousand miles deep into the Demon Court before we can hope to find out where the sixth-level corpse demon is."

Lu Cheng frowned upon hearing this and thought, "Big Sister, it's not that I meant to shirk my responsibility. This mission is too sudden and too strange."

"It's okay to take a detour, but the key is the mission of investigating the Great Demon King of the Sixth Realm of Divine Power. Normally, it would have to be taken over by those scouts in the Divine Power Realm. Now let's give it to the four of us..."

Hearing his words, Zhan Hongxiu paused, thought for a moment, then took out the mission letter, looked at it, and handed it to him, saying:

"Look, it states the location of the corpse demon and also points out the location of the demon village where it is located. It should have been investigated by the previous adults."

Lu Cheng took it, took a look at it, and handed it to Ning Xue beside him, "Junior Sister Ning, what do you think?"

For some reason, he always felt that this task came too suddenly.

"There are indeed some strange things about it," Ning Xue thought for a moment and said, "I can't make any sense of this secret letter, but I think we can make some changes."

Zhan Hongxiu asked: "What changes?"

"Now that the mission location has been determined, we should be able to decide the route during that period."

As she spoke, Ning Xue stretched out her hand and flipped out a simple map - which marked the locations of several fortified cities and citadels, including Youdu City, as well as the approximate locations of several demon strongholds in the Demon Court.

She pointed her finger at a spot east of Youdu and said, "According to the secret letter, we need to turn south here, bypass a frontier stronghold, and go straight into the heart of the demon court."

"But I think, since we have to go into the heart of the demon court, we can go directly from here, without having to go through the stronghold, and the distance is even closer."

Zhan Hongxiu looked at the location Ning Xue pointed to on the map and nodded slightly: "West of Youdu City, a little bit different from the route requested in the secret letter, but... it's harmless."

Although they were scouts of Youdu City, they were naturally aware of the principle of "not obeying military orders" during the mission.

As long as the final result is good, the route choice is entirely up to them.

Seeing that she agreed, Ning Xue put away the map and said to the others very cautiously without saying anything:
"In addition, since this is such a secret mission, why don't we let Yun Ni cast a formation to hide our figures after we leave the city?"

Zhan Hongxiu raised her eyebrows slightly and replied in a voice transmission: "Junior sister, why are you so cautious?"

Ning Xue shook her head slightly, frowning inwardly, "I, I can't say for sure, anyway, it's better to be careful."

In fact, Ning Xue didn't think much about it at first, but after listening to what Lu Cheng said, she felt a sudden palpitation in her heart for no reason.

It seemed as if something big was about to happen, asking her to be more careful.

"Then let's do it as you say."

Seeing that the three of them didn't say anything, Zhan Hongxiu registered her exit record and walked out of Youdu City.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Yunni quietly used the formation to transform into four human forms, and the substitutes continued to move towards the location mentioned in the secret letter.

They followed Ning Xue's advice and after leaving the city, they walked twenty miles in the opposite direction of their phantom bodies, then turned south and headed towards the heart of the demon court.

Two hours later.

Zhan Hongxiu stopped in front of the heart of the demon court, looked at the dense forest in the distance, and gestured:
"It's already a thousand miles away from Youdu."

"Further ahead is the front line of the Demon Court. Junior Brother Lu, get the Demon Transformation Powder and we will move forward in disguise."

Lu Cheng nodded immediately and was about to take out the demon-transforming powder.

At this moment, Jiang Yunni exclaimed and reminded, "Wait a minute."

The three looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"I, the phantom body I set up was shattered."

"Do you know where it is?" Zhan Hongxiu frowned and asked quickly.

Jiang Yunni said in a difficult tone: "According to the instructions in the secret letter, I only controlled them to stop a hundred miles east of Youdu City."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng immediately suggested: "Big Sister, there must be something fishy in this mission, let's..."

Before he could finish, Zhan Hongxiu turned around and said, "Let's go, give up the mission and return to Youdu City!"

However, before they had walked out for an incense stick of time, Jiang Yunni in the team suddenly changed color and warned, "Be careful!"

The next moment, the formation plate in her hand shattered, and the formation covering the four people dissipated.

Before they could react, the scene before their eyes changed instantly, and they were already on a cliff, surrounded by strong winds and tornadoes.

Zhan Hongxiu placed one hand on the hilt of the sword, looked around warily, and frowned as he asked, "Is this... a formation?"

Lu Cheng and Ning Xue formed a corner with her, protecting Jiang Yunni among the three of them, and each drew their swords and looked at the place in front of them.

"It is indeed a formation, and it is a formation unique to the Yuhua Immortal Sect." Jiang Yunni formed seals with her hands, looked around, and spoke with a difficult tone.

"Yuhua Xianmen?"

Lu Cheng suddenly realized and warned, "Be careful. If they are from Yuhua Xianmen, they must be looking for revenge on us because of Junior Brother Chen Yi."

Zhan Hongxiu and Ning Xue were obviously aware of this - previously Chen Yi had slaughtered the entire Yuhua Sect in the Tianyuan Continent, so it was reasonable for these remnants of the Yuhua Sect to plot against them.

Think of this.

Zhan Hongxiu asked Jiang Yunni whether she could break the formation while shouting upwards:

"I wonder which senior from Yuhua Immortal Sect you are. Could you please show up so I can wait and see until I die?"

She knew very well that with such a large battle going on, the people coming must have cultivation levels far exceeding theirs, and there might even be more than one person.

We cannot win by fighting, so the only thing we can do now is to delay time as much as possible and see if reinforcements can come from Youdu City.

The voice just fell.

Then a voice echoed in the formation, but it did not respond to Zhan Hongxiu, but said in a cold tone: "Don't waste your energy, Jiang Yunni."

"Yes, it's Elder Cheng?" Jiang Yunni heard the other party's voice and her face turned ugly. She did not forget to explain to the three people:
"The person who came is Cheng Yun, an elder of the Qimen lineage of Yuhua Xianmen. He has great attainments in formations!"

Zhan Hongxiu immediately bowed and said, "So it's Elder Cheng Yun. Junior Zhan Hongxiu greets Elder Cheng Yun. You have trapped us here, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Consequences?" Cheng Yun seemed to grit his teeth and said in the void: "My Yuhua Xianmen was massacred by your junior brother Chen Yi, hundreds of thousands of people died tragically, and you still dare to ask me for the consequences?"

Zhan Hongxiu looked up at the dark sky and said seriously, "Of course I have to ask. Even if you kill the four of us, you still can't hurt Junior Brother Chen Yi at all, and it will also endanger your own life. Don't you think the price is too high?"

Lu Cheng opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Senior Sister, please take it easy."

To say this is simply to hit the opponent's sore spot directly - if they could deal with Junior Brother Chen Yi, why would they come to us?
"Ha, ha ha... all right, all right, you people from Taixu Dao Sect are very nice!"

As expected, Cheng Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Let me tell you that I am not going to go back alive today!"

"If you want to blame you, blame Chen Yi. Maybe soon, he will meet you in the Netherworld River!"

Hearing this, the four of them frowned.

Zhan Hongxiu once again sent a voice message to ask Jiang Yunni: "Can you break this formation?"

"Yes, but, but I need time!" Jiang Yunni was sweating profusely. He made hand gestures repeatedly and threw out talismans and seals one after another.

She even took out a number of formation flags from the cloth bag she carried with her, gritted her teeth and said, "Reverse the Yuhua Tongtian Formation!" Then a cloud of mist enveloped the four people, dispersing the surrounding strong winds.

"This formation can only last for an incense stick of time at most. The rest depends on you."

Jiang Yunni finished speaking quickly and continued to make hand gestures to break the formation.

"Oh? Yuhua Tongtian Formation, Jiang Yunni, you are indeed a genius in the formation of Yuhua Xianmen." Cheng Yun was outside the formation, took a look, and said disdainfully:

"But that's all—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fog that had just risen began to dissipate at an extremely fast speed, as if it would be broken and destroyed again in the next moment.

Zhan Hongxiu frowned as she watched, and took out the formation plate she carried with her, and called on Lu Cheng and Ning Xue to set up the formation together.

"I'll hold out as long as I can. If I can't hold out, I'll have to fight her!"

Hearing this, Ning Xue set up the formation while touching the small wooden sword hanging around her neck - this was the sword that Chen Yi gave her for self-defense when she left Tianyuan Continent.

I didn't expect to keep it until today and still need to use it...

She gritted her teeth and sent a voice message to Zhan Hongxiu, "If you really can't hold on, then I will use my junior brother's sword spirit."

"Sure!" Zhan Hongxiu didn't refuse. She thought saving her life was the most important thing. "When we meet Junior Brother Chen Yi, I will definitely ask him for another one to compensate you."

Ning Xue smiled bitterly to herself, she didn't care about this small wooden sword, what she cared about was whether she could see her junior brother Chen Yi again.

If it weren't for this mission, they would have stayed in Youdu City and believed they would have seen Chen Yi soon.

But now I’m afraid…

"It's useless, it's useless, you will definitely die here today!"

Seeing this, Cheng Yun controlled the formation to launch wave after wave of attacks on them. The power was so great that Jiang Yunni, who was already trying to resist hastily, turned pale.

"Originally, you were supposed to be ambushed by a few brothers in another place. I was just a backup to prevent you from taking a detour. I didn't expect that one of you would actually predict it."

that one?
Zhan Hongxiu asked, "Elder Cheng, as far as I know, your Yuhua Xianmen should be under investigation by the ancestors. Why were you able to come here from Diyan City? Did someone secretly release you?"

Cheng Yun paused, then became angry and said, "You are about to die, and you still have the time to pay attention to these things?"

"So what? I and others have made great contributions to the human race, but in the end, we were slaughtered by Chen Yi. Do you still want us to sit and wait for death?"

"All of this is Chen Yi's fault. It was caused by you, the Taixu Dao Sect!"

Zhan Hongxiu frowned, things were worse than she had imagined - someone had secretly cooperated with Yuhua Xianmen to set up this trap.

Is it the Demon Court, or...

"I have something to say that I can't help but express."

"Since Elder Cheng hates my junior brother Chen Yi, can you tell me whether your Yuhua Immortal Sect has any secret connection with the Demon Court?"

"If there is, even if we die here today, I will still say this - Junior Brother Chen Yi did the right thing, and the people from your Yuhua Immortal Sect deserved their death!"

Lu Cheng: “…”

At this moment, he really wanted to speak up and agree with Zhan Hongxiu's words.

But he really didn't think that provoking Cheng Yun was a good choice at this time.

Sure enough, as Zhan Hongxiu finished speaking, Cheng Yun outside the formation went crazy, and the divine formation covering everyone collapsed.

"You sharp-tongued young man, I will kill you!"

Then a huge tornado that was a hundred feet long came crashing down, "Die!"

Zhan Hongxiu frowned and took action immediately - holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, her body was like a mountain, gathering strength to move upward.

The majestic and domineering sword intent condensed into a ten-foot-long sword—Bajian Wanjunzhan!

However, such a powerful blow could only withstand the strong wind for three breaths before it was shattered and penetrated.

"puff."

Zhan Hongxiu suddenly vomited blood and flew backwards.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng did not wait for a reminder and also drew his sword and rushed forward, "Junior Sister Ning Xue, protect Jiang Yunni!"

Although his swordsmanship is not as advanced as Zhan Hongxiu's, his sword intent was gained by observing the trends of mountains and rivers in Nanman. It is the most profound and he is also best at protection.

Therefore, when he stepped forward, he burst out with all his sword intent, forming a green sword intent as big as a mountain forest, protecting everyone behind him.

"Block!"

"boom!"

With a deafening bang, the knuckles of Lu Cheng's hands broke, blood gushed out, his face turned pale, and he stood there shakily.

Fortunately, the strong wind that was blocked by Zhan Hongxiu first was shattered by his sword intent.

"Come again!"

Cheng Yun in the sky roared, and his huge figure appeared like a demon.

"See if you can still block this palm from me!"

She made a hand gesture and slapped down with one hand. Bright golden light condensed into a huge illusory palm that slowly fell down.

The mountain-like power hit everyone first, causing the already severely injured Zhan Hongxiu's mouth to bleed again.

The shaky Lu Cheng knelt on one knee and struggled to get up.

Jiang Yunni looked solemn. Although he was sweating profusely, his hands did not slow down at all. He saw that the formation was about to be broken.

At this moment, Ning Xue, who was protecting her, walked forward gently, pulled off the small wooden sword from her neck and threw it upwards.

Junior Brother...

"Humph, give up. You guys today...eh?"

Before Cheng Yun could finish his words, she saw the small wooden sword shattered after hitting the huge palm. There was a hint of sharpness coming from it, which made her feel a little scared.

The next moment - a murderous intent suddenly rose into the sky.

The dazzling silver-white sword light stretched for ten feet and pierced through and shattered the golden palm in the blink of an eye. Even the large formation above was pierced by this sharp and domineering sword intent.

Caught off guard, Cheng Yun was hit directly by the sword, and one of his arms flew out.

She looked in horror at the sword intent that passed close to her body, and watched it sweep past her and straight into the sky. The horror in her heart had reached its peak.

"This, this is?!"

Seeing this, Ning Xue showed a bitter smile on her face. She was just about to kill Cheng Yun, what a pity.

Jiang Yunni reacted quickly. Seeing that the formation had been broken, she quickly pulled Ning Xue and ran away holding Lu Cheng and Zhan Hongxiu.

"Senior Sister, hurry up, as long as we escape back to Youdu City, we will be safe!"

While running away, she did not forget to shout towards Youdu: "Youdu Scout Battalion B No. 2 Jiang Yunni requests support!!"

Ning Xue followed closely behind.

Cheng Yun, who had suffered a great loss, came to his senses, became furious, and chased after the four people.

"die--"

At this moment, a cold and solemn voice came from Youdu City thousands of miles away: "Who dares to attack and kill my Youdu soldiers? Are you looking for death?"

However, before he could fly away, he saw a figure suddenly appear outside the city and said sinisterly:
"Stop, no one can save them today."

"Corpse demon, you set an ambush?!"

……

At the same time, Chen Yi, who was spying on the spies of the Demon Court in Renji City, suddenly turned around and looked towards the direction of Youdu.

"My sword aura... Senior Sister Ning?"
