I'm only one year old, what the heck is a Overturning System?!-Chapter 177 - 118: The Ambush (Please Subscribe)

When Chen Yi saw Xiao Xuanzhen charging towards the surrounding bandits with the Shock Thunder Skill, he knew there was no need for him to take action.

A few Martial Artists of the Fifth Grade Core Formation Realm were trivial for someone with Xiao Xuanzhen’s strength.

He just frowned slightly as the shelter of the tavern vanished, leaving him exposed to the pouring rain.

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he created a whirl of Sword Intent around him, keeping the rain at bay and calmly observing Xiao Xuanzhen’s combat.

Beside him, Hua Xianzi did the same, her beautiful eyes fixed on Xiao Xuanzhen.

Compared to their calmness, Xie Changle seemed to be enjoying the scene thoroughly, occasionally picking up snacks from the table as if leisurely watching a play like a rich heir.

The three of them, with their nonchalant attitude, left the Chu Family Disciples at the edges completely stunned.

However, after watching for a while, they realized that female hero, even fighting alone against eight fifth-rank Martial Artists, still had them scurrying in terror.

Especially the Swordsman who had insulted her earlier, after being hit twice in the chest, was spitting blood incessantly, on the verge of breathlessness.

The nearby "Heart-devouring Demon" Zhu Shan had not yet realized the severity of the situation.

After driving away Chu Family guards, he watched Xiao Xuanzhen evasively moving around and sneered:

"That feisty little lady, make sure not to kill her, I want her to live a life worse than death!"

"Still daring to curse me? You’re looking for death!"

Xiao Xuanzhen’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, especially when she caught a glimpse of Chen Yi and the others watching calmly, her heart filled with shame and annoyance.

Immediately, two more Spiritual Acupoints appeared around her, increasing her speed as she employed Gen Mountain Shock repeatedly.

The expressions of the remaining seven Evil Demons changed drastically as they gathered together to defend against the onslaught.

"Third boss, she’s too tough to handle, come help quickly!"

"Just wait for me to dispose of these annoying pests first..."

Seeing this, the girl named Wan Er realized something and quickly whispered a reminder:

"Second brother, they are disciples from the Grand Void Sect, the techniques used by that female hero are from the Taixu Eight Skills!"

Chu Ming was taken aback and looked towards Chen Yi and the others seated nearby. After pondering for a moment, he bowed respectfully and said:

"Chu Ming of Jizhou Prefecture, thanks the four Grand Void Sect elders for your timely assistance."

"We didn’t want to resort to this, but the thieves were too vicious, we hope for your forgiveness."

Chen Yi glanced at him and then at the girl who recognized their identity, speaking indifferently:

"Stay hidden, be careful as swords have no eyes."

"Yes, yes."

Chu Ming felt lucky that these powerful people did not blame them; otherwise, their journey could have ended in disaster here.

Meanwhile, Chu Chen, who had been observing the three people sitting, especially sizing up Chen Yi, changed his expression after some thought.

He hurriedly flipped through the "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List" again, comparing the portrait on the first page with Chen Yi.

After several glances back and forth, Chu Chen opened his mouth wide, pointing at Chen Yi and stammering, "Second, second brother, he is Chen, Chen Chen Chen..."

Chu Ming glanced at him and asked with a suspicious tone, "Chen what?"

"It’s that Chen, you know, Chen Chen..."

Chu Chen pointed at Chen Yi, then at the "Heavenly Pride List·Earthly List" in his hands, unable to speak clearly.

The girl named Wan Er who was beside him glanced over the list and her eyes brightened; she turned to Chen Yi and spoke for him:

"Second brother, this is the ’Little Sword Immortal’ from the Grand Void Sect, Chen Yi!"

"Yes, exactly!" Chu Chen almost choked on his own breath.

The other girl, as well as the surrounding guards, couldn’t help but turn their attention to the calm Chen Yi.

"He is Chen Yi? The number one ’Little Sword Immortal’ on the Earthly List?!"

Leading them, Chu Ming, surprised by this revelation, looked at Chen Yi with a mix of shock and regret in his eyes.

He regretted their previous conversation not only because they unexpectedly encountered the top ranker of the Earthly List but also because of the discussion they had had earlier.

Filled with remorse, Chu Ming bowed once again and said:

"Had I known that Young Marquis was present, our earlier indiscretions were inexcusable, please forgive us."

He did not call him by his nickname ’Little Sword Immortal’ but referred to him as ’Young Marquis,’ a title signifying his status.

Chu Ming did this out of respect for his own family background, applying his own standards onto the situation.

He knew that in their established families, the accolades of the Martial World or the inheritance of a Sect were not valued greatly.

Chen Yi looked at him with interest, thinking this interaction amusing.

This was the second person to call him ’Young Marquis’; the first was Sun Zhengqiu, who followed him wholeheartedly.

"Forget not to compensate the gift spoken by your guard."

Chen Yi was aware of the weight his reputation carried.

Now that he possessed such strength and renown, many tasks could be managed with less restraint than in his earlier days.

"Most certainly, most certainly," Chu Ming nodded quickly, breathing a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, he motioned for Chu Chen and the others to speak less, to avoid further offending Chen Yi.

Chu Ming was aware that while their group seemed formidable and more adept than the average Jianghu Guest, facing the ’Twelve Blood Droplets’ would mean retreat; what more when it came to the ’Little Sword Immortal’ on the Earthly List, Chen Yi?

Not to mention a fight, even if all of them were tied together, they wouldn’t match up to Chen Yi’s sword.

While they conversed, Xiao Xuanzhen had already made her way back.

Aside from ’Heart-devouring Demon’ Zhu Shan who was still entangled with the Chu Family guard, the rest of the Evil Demons lay in pools of blood.

However, from the faint breathing around them, it could be seen that they were severely injured and near death, but not entirely dead.

Xiao Xuanzhen, then, turned to look at Zhu Shan, snorted without further action, and stood aside like a chivalric hero watching the struggle.

Proud as she was, she naturally wouldn’t interfere in someone else’s fight.
