The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C228

Chapter 228: The alchemy furnace exploded.

Tick-tock!

Drops of blood dripped down the tip of the short thorn in Zhuang Yan’s hand. Zhuang Yan glanced at Yun Yiyi’s eyes, filled with a desire to tear him apart, and chuckled disdainfully. He leisurely walked back to the side of the alchemy furnace and inserted the short thorn into it through the hole.

The flames inside the furnace, which had been burning fiercely in red and yellow, were instantly turned into a bright red by the blood colour, casting a sinister crimson hue over the entire cave interior under the reflection of the obsidian platform.

Zhuang Yan glanced at the alchemy furnace again, then took out another short thorn from his storage bag and walked slowly towards Yun Yiyi.

“Miss, I don’t actually want to take your lives. As far as I am concerned, you and Miss Second are both ants.”

Yun Yiyi thought about a way to escape and replied calmly, “Then why have you changed your mind now?”

“Can’t you blame the Third Miss?” Zhuang Yan walked up to Yun Yiyi and smiled, “If she can be captured obediently, I will take five drops of blood from each of you, which will be enough. But now that the Third Miss is not here, I have to worry about it. The eldest young lady and the second young lady should make up for her.”

As he spoke, Zhuang Yan slowly pressed the thorn in his hand against Yun Yiyi’s upper abdomen. Yun Yiyi immediately gritted her teeth, prepared for the pain, and formed seals with her hands, ready to activate the imperial pendant hidden in her belt. She had no confidence in fighting a Nascent Soul cultivator like Zhuang Yan in such a situation.

Her only choice now was probably to have her essence and blood taken away by Zhuang Yan and then fake her death by relying on her body armour. After Zhuang Yan left, she would have a chance to escape. Although it was frustrating, it was the only way to survive. She must not die before taking revenge for Ye Anping and her second sister.

When Zhuang Yan was about to pierce the short thorn into her upper abdomen, a burst of energy exploded under his feet.

Yun Jiujiu, who was curled up on the ground, suddenly stood up, raised her hand, and hit the cross-section of the thorn in Zhuang Yan’s hand with his fist, knocking the thorn away. At the same time, she twisted her fist and hit Zhuang Yan’s face.

After a loud explosion, Zhuang Yan’s figure flew backwards, hitting the alchemy furnace in the centre of the platform. The impact made the alchemy furnace emit a low sound like a morning bell.

Yun Jiujiu, panting heavily, slowly stood up and positioned herself in front of Yun Yiyi. Golden mist enveloped Yun Jiujiu’s body, and Yun Yiyi could feel the heat waves emanating from her sister’s body.

Yun Yiyi understood that her second sister had forcibly stimulated all the spiritual energy in her meridians and broke through her realm using her essence and blood.

Yun Jiujiu’s aptitude was the best among the three sisters, and the burst of aura accumulated over more than sixty years allowed her to advance several realms in an instant. However, with each movement she made, she felt excruciating pain, and there was a high probability that her body would explode.

Yun Jiujiu shouted angrily, grabbing the broken chain on the ground and wielding it.

At the same time, the two core formation cultivators who had been restraining them rushed forward, swords aimed at Yun Jiujiu.

“I’ve had enough!! The Yun family is a fucking mess!!” Yun Jiujiu roared, “I was ready to run away and never deal with this crap again, but then this shit happened!! Yun Yiyi, I will kill your father!!!”

Yun Yiyi frowned, “Why are you scolding me?”

“I’m scolding your father!!” Yun Jiujiu clarified, “So many bastards from your mother, one for you, one for Yun Xi, and now Yun Kunwu pops out!! It’s so damn annoying!!”

“I’m your sister.”

“Sister, listen carefully!!” Yun Jiujiu yelled, “I’ll help you get out now. Remember, after you get out, find a way to beat that old man to pieces!!!”

With the chain in her hand, Yun Jiujiu intercepted the swords of the approaching cultivators and kicked them away.

“I’ll be waiting down there. You beat him up here, and I’ll continue down there!!”

With that, Yun Jiujiu used her knife to cut the iron lock on Yun Yiyi’s wrist, then hugged her waist, ready to rush out. Seeing the situation, Zhuang Yan didn’t hesitate. He summoned ten golden swords from his storage bag. However, Yun Jiujiu didn’t take Yun Yiyi and headed for the exit above. Instead, she raised her right leg high and kicked hard towards the obsidian platform.

Boom—

A reverberating sound, similar to an earth dragon shifting, echoed throughout the cavern. As she stepped down from the platform, the iron ropes suspending it began to fracture one after another, prompting panic among the foundation-building cultivators on the platform. They quickly stood up, ready to summon their flying swords to prevent themselves from falling into the molten lava below.

Only the six core formation stage cultivators maintaining the fire around the furnace remained composed. However, with the absence of the foundation-building cultivators who were part of the originally required formation alongside the six core formation stage cultivators, the remaining six felt their spiritual energy being swiftly drained.

Zhuang Yan had yet to anticipate Yun Jiujiu’s move to target his core formation first, and he suddenly lost interest in the two of them.

He gestured and infused his spiritual power to sustain the fire in the furnace, simultaneously recalling the ten spiritual swords. He dispersed them in various directions on the platform, replacing the iron chains and lifting the descending obsidian platform.

“Tsk.”

Observing Zhuang Yan’s lack of concern, Yun Jiujiu swiftly picked up Yun Yiyi, preparing to flee.

But…

“Stop them!!”

Maintaining the formation, Zhuang Yan bellowed, causing the panicked group of foundation-building cultivators to stumble.

More than sixty individuals, including the two core formation cultivators kicked away by Yun Jiujiu earlier, along with those supervising the alchemy above, swiftly drew their spirit swords from their storage bags. They charged towards Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi in succession.

“Hiss–“

Seeing the multitude of people, Yun Jiujiu couldn’t help but look troubled. She could easily defeat one cultivator at the core formation stage, likely tie against two, but with this many opponents…

“Sister!! We need a plan!!!”

“Let’s charge straight through…”

Yun Yiyi glanced around, then swiftly retrieved the Yushen Pendant hidden in her belt, preparing to activate it and envelop herself and Yun Jiujiu within.

Though facing Nascent Soul cultivators might prove futile, this group of foundation-building cultivators, along with a few core-formation cultivators, would only break through their spiritual shields sometime soon.

At that moment, a golden light flashed from the direction of the alchemy furnace. Zhuang Yan was shocked and hadn’t reacted due to the chaos. It was only after spotting the golden light that he realized two foundation-building cultivators had stealthily approached the alchemy furnace. One of them had pierced a small hole in the furnace with a sword.

How was this possible?

With so much spiritual energy inside, it was like the furnace had its spiritual shield. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator’s full-force strike might not breach it. How did this person manage to pierce a hole in the furnace?

Zhuang Yan’s eyes filled with doubt, but in the next moment, they turned to panic—

He saw another person, with deep purple eyes filled with mockery, looking at him. Ye Anping held a water spirit bead in his left hand, placing it in front of the small hole Feng Yudie had broken open. He didn’t toss it in directly, waiting for Zhuang Yan to see it before releasing it.

“Stop!!!”

Zhuang Yan reached out to grab it, but the water spirit bead had already fallen into the furnace.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Anping hugged Feng Yudie and commanded,

“Quick, protect yourselves!!”

Feng Yudie reacted swiftly, releasing her spiritual energy to form a spherical shield around her body alongside Ye Anping.

Atop Qiong Peak, amidst the raging winds and snowfall, a blaze shot into the sky, piercing through the skylight of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
