Counterattack System appeared when I'm already At The Mahayana Realm

Chapter 279 - 278: The Powerful Taoist of the Same Dust



“It’s Number Five!” Daoist Tongchen suddenly realized, his hair standing on end with fury.

Number Five had betrayed him, passing on his information to others.

No, looking at the way Number Five was sending messages, it was possible he wasn’t a traitor, but an undercover planted close to him.

Number Five might not know about his hidden injuries, but he knew his cultivation technique.

In the Ancient World, a cultivator’s technique was his life, something he must never reveal to others.

Others could potentially exploit your techniques, finding weaknesses in the flow of your meridians, or flaws in your cultivation. This was extraordinarily dangerous!

For instance, the cultivation technique Daoist Tongchen practiced was called “Earthly Origin Technique”. As long as his feet were on the ground, he could draw endless power from the earth. It was possible his enemy would try to knock him off the ground, forcing his feet into the air.

Aside from that, even his unconscious little movements, personality, daily habits, etc., all could be exploited by the enemy.

To survive, the most critical aspects were to reveal as few of your secrets as possible, and know as much about others as possible.

Daoist Tongchen utilized his divine sense, covering the entire mountain. He found that Numbers Three and Four were already dead, Number Five was hanging onto life by a thread, and was ceaselessly saying, “If I am to die, Number Three and Four shouldn’t hope to live either, you should be buried with me.”

Daoist Tongchen became even more confused. Numbers Three and Four were already dead, who was supposed to accompany whom to the grave?

He had only been in seclusion for half a night, how could such significant changes have taken place?!

“Number Five, you must die!” Daoist Tongchen’s fury was overflowing, he sped towards Number Five.

However, before he even reached Number Five, the presence of two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could be felt, charging shamelessly through the Gate of Life.

The information leaked by Number Five, made the Mountain Protection Array that should have been able to resist the Nascent Soul Stage, virtually non-existent.

“How could they have arrived so quickly!” Daoist Tongchen was shocked. He thought they would need at least a quarter of an hour to reach here.

“Of course it’s because I’ve been waiting down the hill for seven years, always waiting for this day to come.” A chilling laughter echoed from all sides, sending shivers down people’s spines.

Yu Feng was afraid his senior sister would be scared, so he stayed by her side.

Wu Lian, his senior sister, thought Yu Feng was scared. Seeing her junior brother come over, she pulled him into her arms, intending to protect him.

She was a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core stage, the strongest among Daoist Tongchen’s disciples.

Of course, third senior brother and fourth senior brother were dead, and fifth senior brother was expelled. Now Daoist Tongchen only had two disciples, so being the strongest didn’t have much significance.

His happiness came so suddenly, Yu Feng was stunned.

“Lord Heishan, Monk Jin Guang?” Daoist Tongchen recognized who had arrived. His relation with the two was only an acquaintance; they had met only once at a banquet hosted by a Divinity Transformation Stage Elder.

“Seven years?” This number was sensitive to Daoist Tongchen because it was exactly when he had taken Number Five as a disciple.

“Number Five, you are indeed the mole they planted!” Daoist Tongchen glared at Lord Heishan, grinding his teeth.

After Number Two betrayed him, he was extremely cautious. He set up the Mountain Protection Array, allowing only Wu Lian to go in and out. The other disciples were not allowed to leave.

He was afraid of another disciple betraying him.

He didn’t think the thing he was worried about would still happen.

Immediately after getting the information from Number Five, Lord Heishan and Monk Jin Guang hurried over, catching Daoist Tongchen off guard and hid at the foot of the mountain for seven years straight.

Seven years wasn’t a long time for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. If they could just wait for seven years to get everything Daoist Tongchen had, who wouldn’t choose to wait?

For Lord Heishan and Monk Jin Guang, who were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul period, Daoist Tongchen, who was in the late stage, was very attractive.

“Damn it, Master has a secret injury. How could he possibly beat these two?” Senior Sister Wu Lian was anxious and wanted to help.

Only she knew that Master was injured by the second junior brother, and his combat power was not as good as a typical Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Yu Feng pulled Senior Sister back.

“Xiao Feng, what are you doing?”

Yu Feng smiled and said, “Senior Sister, don’t worry, Master’s hidden injury has long healed.”

At this time, Daoist Tongchen was already hand to hand with Lord Heishan and Monk Jin Guang. His feet stepped on the ground, holding talismans in his hands. He was one against two and did not fall into the wind. Even so, he still showed signs of surpassing the other party.

“How is it possible?”

“I gave Master a soup that can cure the hidden injury. If taken regularly, Master’s hidden injury can slowly recover.”

“Don’t forget, I am a Pill Master.” Yu Feng stuck out his chest proudly, looking pleased.

Senior Sister Wu Lian gave Yu Feng a glance, “What Pill Master? You are just a little guy who only knows how to refine sugar beans.”

Seeing that Master was fine, Senior Sister Wu Lian started joking.

Yu Feng hung his head low, “Senior Sister, your words have hurt your junior brother.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu silently watched the two of them.

Through the information passed on by Number Five, they quickly analyzed Daoist Tongchen’s spiritual power operation route and knew the weak points of his meridians.

Based on Daoist Tongchen’s technique, they speculated that aerial combat was Daoist Tongchen’s disadvantage,

They also knew if they suddenly patted Daoist Tongchen’s shoulder, he would subconsciously turn his head. This showed he was easily distracted and could not overcome his stress response.

Based on these pieces of information, Lord Heishan and Monk Jin Guang deliberately attacked Daoist Tongchen’s acupoints, targeted the position where Daoist Tongchen stood, forcing him to jump.

They also made fake attack moves to make Daoist Tongchen react, consuming his spiritual power and spirit.

However, even so, Daoist Tongchen could still turn danger into safety through his profound talisman technique, becoming even more courageous as the battle went on.

“How can he be so strong?” Lord Heishan and Monk Jin Guang were secretly astounded. Daoist Tongchen’s talisman technique far exceeded their imaginations.

They knew Daoist Tongchen was adept at talisman technique. Still, they never thought his mastery of talisman technique was so miraculous, just like harnessing the power of heaven and earth onto the talisman. Its power was unbelievable.

“You damned fool is still watching the fight. Hurry up and activate the Spirit Plant Array!” Lord Heishan yelled at Number Five.

Number Five lay on the bed, the poison spreading throughout his body left him powerless; he couldn’t even lift his hand, let alone activate the array.

“Damn it, knew I couldn’t count on this waste.” Seeing Number Five was of no use, Lord Heishan was even angrier.

“Fortunately, I have another plan.”

Lord Heishan quietly recited the incantation and pointed at Number Five. Suddenly, Number Five involuntarily sprang up from the bed.

Number Five’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He immediately realized that his Master had controlled him using the hidden cultivation technique from the “Spirit Plant Manual”.

He had intended to turn Yu Feng into a puppet, but he never thought that he had been a puppet of his Master all along.

“How can he be so weak?” Lord Heishan found that his disciple was so tired that he just got up, it’s hard to imagine that this is a Golden Core Stage cultivator. Even a dying, old man has more strength than him.

“Since that is the case, then do not blame me for being ruthless!” Lord Heishan gave a cruel smile, causing Number Five to burn his soul in order to regain vitality.

“No, you can’t do this!” Number Five was horrified. He couldn’t believe Lord Heishan would be so cold-hearted.

Burning the soul was equivalent to wiping him out from the world, depriving him of even the privilege of reincarnating to the Underworld.

He would completely vanish from this world!
