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

Chapter 343: Chapter 342: Suppressing With Just One Hand

Zhu Yan always had the same dream recalling the events from two thousand years ago.

“Who are you?” Zhu Yan watched the newcomer warily. Being a six-star contracted beast, an invincible creature, he couldn’t comprehend how anyone could have secretly slipped into his room.

“You can call me Du Ye, the Envoy.” The newcomer replied with a gentle smile, “Two days ago, following the orders of your master, you killed a number of individuals in front of everyone.”

“So what if I did? Those individuals had resorted to despicable tactics and violated the rules of the competition in an attempt to kill me. Their actions irked my master and he ordered me to kill them. There is nothing wrong with that. The ‘Declaration of Peace’ clearly states that contracted beasts have the right to self-defense. Those killings were acts of legitimate self-defense.”

Du Ye, the envoy, looked at Zhu Yan as if he were a senseless monkey, “Legitimate self-defense? I didn’t expect the beasts of this realm to be this ignorant. Being a beast myself, I’m ashamed for you.”

“You–” Zhu Yan was enraged by Du Ye’s words.

Unhurriedly, Du Ye continued, “Do you really believe the lives of humans and beasts are equivalent? You killed quite a few humans, all of whom were at the Body Integration Realm.”

“The human race will not consider your reasons for killing. They will only see that you have killed human beings and will view you as an extremely dangerous contracted beast that needs to be eliminated.”

Zhu Yan knitted his eyebrows, “Contracted beasts and humans are friends. Humans wouldn’t treat us like this. Besides, I only acted upon my master’s orders.”

Although his master wasn’t exactly friendly, being treated the same way as other contracted beasts around him, Zhu Yan didn’t think there was anything improper about his own treatment.

Du Ye sneered, “Master? He didn’t care about who gave the orders, he only claimed you were out of control at the time, thereby distancing himself from the incident.”

“Think about it. If humans truly cared for you, why would they sign a master-servant contract and not a contract of equals? Why would they build air-raid shelters, to guard against whom? Why would they create markets for selling contracted beasts? Would you sell your friends like they were merchandise?”

Seeing that Zhu Yan remained unconvinced, Du Ye lost interest in arguing with this ‘stupid monkey’. He simply told Zhu Yan how to terminate the master-servant contract and then took his leave.

Everything Zhu Yan endured over the next few days was within Du Ye’s expectations.

No one mentioned the issue of self-defense, as if it were a matter beyond discussion. The master put all the blame on Zhu Yan, and to appease him, said that these measures were just temporary. Holding onto a sliver of hope, Zhu Yan reluctantly chose to believe him.

However, in the end, his master betrayed Zhu Yan’s trust and sent him to the execution ground himself.

Only then did Zhu Yan realize the truth. All talk of friendship and equal treatment were lies. The human race never saw contracted beasts as their equals.

Zhu Yan, having given up all hope, terminated the master-servant contract and went on a rampage.

Eight contracted beasts gathered to attack Zhu Yan, intending to wipe out this unstable element.

Zhu Yan also terminated these eight contracted beasts’ contracts, told them about his experience, and claimed that the humans were merely using them.

But they disregarded him, believing in the everlasting friendship between them and their masters and that they would never betray each other.

Foolish creatures!

Right before he was about to die, Zhu Yan comprehended the will of Transcendance Tribulation Stage, and turned the tables, slaughtering both the contracted beasts and humans.

Zhu Yan became an invincible entity, dominating the entire continent. He sought his hiding master, determined to kill him.

The incident involving Zhu Yan made humans aware that the master-servant contract could be dissolved. Therefore, they dared not trust contracted beasts anymore, and threw them out one after another, hiding themselves inside the air-raid shelters.

Zhu Yan watched as the abandoned contracted beasts, still refused to give up their search for their masters, and found them ridiculously foolish.

You’re being discarded like trash by humans, yet you’re still tailing behind them, licking their boots.

After bulldozing through a dozen air-raid shelters, Zhu Yan finally located his hiding master in the ninety-third air-raid shelter.

As expected, his master was killed by him.

Despite his master’s death, Zhu Yan’s urge to kill did not diminish, however, he didn’t want to directly kill.

“Humans are hypocritical, beasts are foolish,”

At this moment, once again, Du Ye appeared by Zhu Yan’s side.

Even after breaking through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, Zhu Yan still couldn’t gauge this man’s level of cultivation.

But Zhu Yan didn’t care about these things.

“Humans treated me like a slave, but now I’ve become the strongest being of this era. I must retaliate, and make humans slaves to the beasts.”

“How should one deal with those foolish beasts then? What are your thoughts?” Zhu Yan turned to Du Ye to ask.

“My blood, once diluted, can cause the beasts to become intellectually impaired right from birth.”

“Very good.”

Du Ye squeezed out a few drops of blood, the terrifying power they contained even gave Zhu Yan the chills.

Du Ye highly admired Zhu Yan and considered him a promising talent. With a little nurturing, he thought Zhu Yan would become a valuable asset to him.

“Once the master-servant contract is signed, humans will slowly die from mental chaos. I will appoint a person in charge. You don’t need to stay in this realm.”

Zhu Yan, with madness in his eyes, refused Du Ye’s offer of goodwill: “No, I want to witness the downfall of humans and beasts with my own eyes!”

Lately, Zhu Yan kept having this dream. He felt restless and had a feeling that something was going to happen.

“Has my plan been disrupted?” Zhu Yan muttered to himself. After all, beasts hardly have any talent, and it’s impossible for them to break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Hence, he had never considered his own safety.

“It has been so long, I should go take a look at the outside world. I hope those hypocritical humans have all died.” Zhu Yan made rounds every hundred years.

It has been over fifty years since his last outing, but he had a feeling that something was about to happen, so he left the secret realm early this time.

Zhu Yan, who thought of himself as an invincible entity, didn’t attempt to conceal the fluctuations of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage and stepped out of the realm.

The disturbance caused by Zhu Yan’s emergence was much greater than that induced by Xiao Qing’s transformation into a dragon. The entire Lingxi World was aware of it.

Upon sensing this, Xiao Qing and Xia Chao instantly realized that this was the Transcendance Tribulation Stage Zhu Yan noted in the diary.

Even with Xiao Qing’s robust body and Xia Chao’s healing abilities, facing a Transcendance Tribulation Stage entity would be futile.

In the blink of an eye, they could be wiped out by a Transcendance Tribulation Stage entity, leaving no chance for recovery.

Humans and beasts felt their hair stand on end, as if a ferocious beast had descended on the world, brimming with a desire to kill.

However, this feeling was fleeting, disappearing as quickly as it came, almost as if it were an illusion.

Because before Zhu Yan could take his second step, Jiang Li, Human Emperor, stopped him in his tracks.

Zhu Yan watched in horror as a giant handprint descended from the heavens. It carried an irresistible force that pinned him to the ground, leaving him without even the ability to turn over.

“So, this is Zhu Yan?” White Snow Spirit marveled. This was a Transcendance Tribulation Stage beast, something rarely seen in Jiuzhou.

Its hair was red, its feet were white, and it grinned menacingly. However, it was not as ugly as depicted on the mural, suggesting that the mural’s artist had deliberately maligned Zhu Yan.

“Who are you people, are you immortals?” Zhu Yan roared in attempts to resist, only to discover that like an ordinary monkey, he could not utilize any of his cultivation and his supreme physical form felt inferior and mortal.

“Jiuzhou World, Human Emperor, Jiang Li.”
