The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C322

Chapter 322: Villain, surrounded from all sides

The recent rainfall had just ceased, and the lingering droplets on the eaves were slowly dripping.

In front of the inn adorned with the sign of Xianjun Pavilion, two black horses came to a halt. Gu Mingxin’s junior brother dismounted and called over a waiter to lead the horses to the stables behind.

Gu Mingxin glanced sideways and caught a glimpse of the silver-haired woman who had just passed by. Upon seeing the woman stop and look her way, she quickly texted Xue to remind her, “Xue, keep a low profile.”

“Ming Xin, I’m well aware. It seems fate has brought us together on this narrow path. With the Four Realms being so vast, it’s quite a coincidence for you to venture out and run into her directly.”

“In the city, it might be challenging. After all, this is the capital of the Emperor Sect. If things escalate, you won’t just have her to deal with but also the Heavenly Execution Court and the guards of Tainan City. But if we’re outside the city… I’ll figure something out.”

“Okay…”

Gu Mingxin squinted slightly, then averted her gaze, dismounted, and tossed the reins to the approaching waiter. She stepped over the threshold and entered the inn.

The ground floor of the inn wasn’t spacious, with five square tables occupied. Among them, four tables were filled with six or seven individuals each, either chatting about trivial matters of the demon clan or engaged in dice games and drinking, creating a lively atmosphere.

Gu Mingxin lifted the bamboo hat on her head with her fingers and scanned the room. Her gaze landed on the table with empty seats.

On the table rested a teapot and two jade tea cups, with a young male and female cultivator seated opposite each other. They seemed like a pair of young companions here for leisure. The girl had lavender hair and wore a long aquamarine dress, appearing petite.

The boy donned a purple Daoist robe, had enigmatic deep eyes, and possessed a charming appearance with a baby face radiating an attractive aura.

Gu Mingxin couldn’t help but glance at her junior brother and compare him with the young man.

Her junior brother, named Xu Mo, was also a sought-after handsome man in the Heavenly Demon Sect. Gu Mingxin had previously thought that there couldn’t be a more handsome man in the world than him, but now, she had to retract that assessment.

If this young man could be brought back to the Eastern Domain and auctioned off publicly, it would be enough for the female cultivators in the Hehuan Sect to bankrupt themselves just to bring him home.

“Wow, what a handsome young man,” Xue couldn’t help but praise.

Gu Mingxin’s lips curved slightly as she approached, intending to ask if they could share a table. However, she watched as the young man raised his fingers and used his spiritual power to flip over the two upside-down jade teacups in the middle of the table, placing them at two positions southeast of the square table and even helping serve a cup of tea.

Ye Anping looked at her and raised his teacup in greeting, “You two, fellow Daoists, there is no need to be polite. Please do as you please.”

Gu Mingxin felt slightly surprised but quickly regained her composure and nodded in gratitude, “Thank you.”

She walked to the table, pulled a chair, and sat down. Then she raised her hand to remove her hat, shook out her tangled dark hair, rested her elbows on the table, raised her chin, and tilted her head to look at Ye Anping’s face. Her crimson eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of allure, “This lady has never seen such a handsome man like you before. May I know how to address you?”

As soon as she spoke, Xu Mo, who had just sat opposite Ye Anping, frowned and glared at him with hostility.

Noticing this, Ye Anping felt speechless but smiled and replied, “Senior is joking. You praise me, and the fellow Daoist accompanying you seems unpleased.”

“Just tell the truth.” Gu Mingxin covered her mouth and chuckled, asking, “Then what should I call you?”

Ye Anping smiled, “My surname is Liang, and I’m the sixth in the family, so I’m called Xiao Liu.”

“Liang Xiao Liu… That name doesn’t quite match the face of a young master like you. Is it a pseudonym?”

“The girl is clever. It’s necessary to have a pseudonym when traveling.” Ye Anping smiled and continued, “But I am indeed the sixth child in the family.”

“So, Young Master, you have five older brothers. Are they all as handsome as you?”

“Haha, my second, third, fourth, and fifth brothers passed away early, but my eldest brother was even more handsome than me. He was as beautiful as jade and had the presence of a dragon and phoenix.”

As Ye Anping spoke, he turned his head to look at the inn’s counter where the shopkeeper was counting, only to see the shopkeeper lift his head and glare at him with an expression of disbelief. However, upon seeing Ye Anping’s eyes, the shopkeeper immediately understood the message conveyed,

—The guests had arrived.

Gu Mingxin followed his gaze to the counter but noticed nothing unusual. She then shifted her gaze to the face of the petite girl with long lavender hair now facing her.

Xiao Yunluo was visibly nervous at the moment. When she saw Gu Mingxin looking at her, she quickly lowered her gaze and shuffled closer to Ye Anping.

“Why is this girl so nervous?” Gu Mingxin inquired.

Ye Anping glanced at Xiao Yunluo and quickly explained, “My senior sister is quite shy around strangers, so Master asked me to accompany her for some exposure.”

“In that case, there’s no need for the girl to be so nervous,” Gu Mingxin said with a smile. “Do I seem like a difficult person to get along with?”

“Ah…”

Xiao Yunluo glanced at Ye Anping, who signaled her with a look to engage in more conversation with Gu Mingxin. Taking a deep breath, she also spoke up,

“My name is Si Xuanji. You can just call me Xuanji, sister…”

Ye Anping, hearing this name, paused briefly but decided to overlook it, scanning the surroundings instead. When he first encountered Feng Yudie, Xiao Tian was always by her side. So, since Gu Mingxin entered, he had been observing his surroundings, attempting to locate the spirit of her enchanted book scroll.

But now, it seemed either there was no one, or he couldn’t perceive them. If it was the latter, Feng Yudie probably couldn’t see it either. In that case, if she instructed the spirit to search through her storage bag without his knowledge, it would be a disadvantageous situation. However, there was no turning back once the course was set.

If one was already in a difficult situation, it was best to proceed. Ye Anping glanced outside the door and noticed that most people on the street had left. Using his left hand under the table, he signaled Liang Zhu, who was posing as the shopkeeper behind the counter.

Seeing the signal, Liang Zhu obediently returned the abacus to its place and picked up the warm wine from the side. Walking out from behind the counter, he circled around and approached the table where Gu Mingxin and the others were sitting, smiling as he spoke,

“Sir, here’s the peach blossom wine you ordered earlier.”

At that moment, Gu Mingxin was engaged in a casual conversation with Xiao Yunluo.

Seeing Liang Zhu in position, Ye Anping thought for a moment before interjecting with a smile,

“Sir, it’s the peach blossom wine you ordered just now.”

“Miss, since we’ve already exchanged names, may I ask how you prefer to be addressed?”

“Hmm! As for me…” Gu Mingxin looked at Ye Anping, pondered momentarily, and then smiled, “Master Liang used an alias. How about you give me a pseudonym?”

“Would you like me to come up with one?”

Gu Mingxin looked at Ye Anping with a raised eyebrow, “Hmm… I’ll just leave it to Mr. Liang then.”

After some thought, Ye Anping gazed into her eyes and spoke up,

“Well, let me suggest one, how about ‘Gu Mingxin’?”

“… …”.

At that moment, Gu Mingxin’s red eyes narrowed into slits, and Ye Anping’s previously gentle smile suddenly seemed menacing to her.

Meanwhile, Xu Mo, sitting across from Ye Anping, couldn’t help but look horrified. In an instant, both of their attentions were pulled towards Ye Anping, completely unaware that the shopkeeper standing behind them had drawn a dagger embedded with several spirit beads from under the tray he was holding.

The tray, along with the wine bottle on it, flew upwards as Liang Zhu gripped the dagger and aimed at Gu Mingxin’s neck from behind.

“Ming Xin! Behind you!!”

Swish—

There was a flash of silver. The silver dagger hand pierced through the thick black hair behind Gu Mingxin, leaving only a shallow cut on the right side of her neck. The moment Gu Mingxin heard Xue’s warning in her mind, she shifted three inches to the side, just enough to dodge the path of the dagger held by Liang Zhu.

Watching as a short dagger brushed past his ear, Gu Mingxin’s crimson eyes turned towards Liang Zhu with a murderous glare. Meanwhile, seated across from Gu Mingxin, Xiao Yunluo swiftly withdrew a spirit sword from her pouch, kicked the table in front of her aside, and thrust the blade straight toward Gu Mingxin.

But at that moment, on the other side, Ye Anping furrowed his brow and immediately shouted, “Withdraw!”

“What?” Xiao Yunluo looked puzzled, turning to Ye Anping, only to see him leap back. She had listened carefully when Ye Anping explained the plan earlier.

Ye Anping had made it clear that after Liang Brother made his move, she and Ye Anping would attack Gu Mingxin together, allowing Liang Brother to capture the disciple from the Heavenly Demon Sect who was traveling with them.

Yet, now Ye Anping was suddenly calling for a retreat. Once the arrow was released from the bow, there was no turning back. Her spirit sword was already out. There was no way to retreat.

However, Liang Zhu seemed to have anticipated this, his gaze calm as he swiftly changed his dagger grip and slammed the handle directly into Xu Mo’s forehead.

Boom–

Xu Mo was caught completely off guard, feeling his vision darken as Liang Zhu grabbed his neck with his left arm and pulled him away from his seat.

The next moment, a blood-covered spirit sword materialized in Gu Mingxin’s hand.

Several crimson sword lights dispersed, slicing everything within a ten-foot radius into pieces.

Ye Anping and Liang Zhu, along with Xu Mo, managed to retreat just in time, narrowly avoiding the sudden surge of sword light. However, Xiao Yunluo found herself in a perilous situation.

Ding–

Sparks scattered. After effortlessly parrying her thrust, the blood-red spiritual sword in Gu Mingxin’s hand-launched a counterattack, targeting several vital points on Xiao Yunluo’s body. There was no mercy in her crimson eyes, each strike aimed at severing Xiao Yunluo’s limbs.

Facing multiple blood-red sword shadows converging towards her simultaneously, Xiao Yunluo’s eyes narrowed to slits, recalling the sword thrust Ye Anping had aimed at her before.

Back then, she had been so terrified that her legs went weak, even on the brink of screaming out in fear.

But now…

She was no longer the same person she was then.

Hiss–

Xiao Yunluo parted her lips slightly, exhaling a wisp of white mist. Her trembling pupils froze in place, and her fingers, which had been about to release the sword hilt, clenched it tightly.

Swish–

Clang clang clang–

In mid-air, the silver spirit sword clashed with the blood-red spiritual sword out of nowhere.

Boom–!

The explosion from the clash of spiritual energy shattered porcelain plates and jade pots on nearby tables while the spiritual light burst through the inn’s tile roof, sending tiles cascading hundreds of feet into the air.

Xiao Yunluo managed to block Gu Mingxin’s sword and immediately pressed her advantage, seeking to seize control of the situation.

In a battle between sword practitioners, the one who dominated the other had the upper hand. However, just as she sent her spiritual power into her sword and swung it towards Gu Mingxin’s neck…

Click–

A spark flickered, and the sword broke in two. The front half embedded itself into the nearby wall, leaving Xiao Yunluo with just a regular sword, which narrowly missed Gu Mingxin’s neck by three inches.

“Heh… Impressive,” Gu Mingxin chuckled, swiftly maneuvering behind Xiao Yunluo, clasping her neck with his arm, and swiftly rushing out of the inn’s doors with her in tow.

“Ming Xin, don’t kill her. The Xuanxing Sect sword technique she employs indicates she holds a significant status,” Someone cautioned.

“I can see that,” Gu Mingxin replied.

Though she wasn’t sure how her identity had been compromised, she realized she had fallen into a trap, likely set up specifically for her.

She suspected there were ambushes on the streets and that the eastern gate of Tianan City was probably closed. Without leverage, she couldn’t hope to escape alone, especially if she alerted the Emperor of the Central Domain or powerful cultivators within the city. However, despite her mental preparations, Gu Mingxin was shocked by the scene on the street when they emerged from the inn.

Five Core-formation stage disciples from the Heavenly Execution Court lined each side of the street while dozens of mid-to-late Foundation-building stage cultivators hovered overhead, swords at the ready.

“This urn is a bit too big,” Gu Mingxin remarked as they faced the overwhelming opposition.

Swish——

Gu Mingxin landed in the middle of the street, pressing her spiritual sword against Xiao Yunluo’s neck, when she noticed the Heavenly Execution Court disciples surrounding her with spiritual treasures.

Ye Anping and Liang Zhu stood side by side on one side as if they had been waiting for her.

While Gu Mingxin placed the sword on Xiao Yunluo’s neck, Liang Zhu held his dagger against Xu Mo’s neck.

“Senior sister! Are you okay…” Xu Mo began.

“Do not talk,” Liang Zhu interrupted sternly, his dagger already drawing blood from Xu Mo’s neck, staining his collar red. However, Gu Mingxin looked at her junior brother with a smile. “You immortal cultivators are really despicable, threatening me with my junior brother.”

“It’s tit for tat,” Ye Anping chuckled, observing Xiao Yunluo’s fearful eyes in his hands. “Ah, Gu, didn’t you also use my senior sister to threaten me?”

Hearing this nickname, Gu Mingxin’s brow furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure on her face. Only her master had the right to call her Ah Gu. No one else was qualified.

But she understood that she was outnumbered. If she let anger cloud her judgment, she would surely perish here.

Ye Anping took a step forward, tossing his spiritual sword aside. “Ah, Gu, stop it. You can’t escape. Let my senior sister go. How about I leave you and your junior brother alive?”

“Young Master Liang, one should not judge a book by its cover. I’ve heard that the methods of immortal cultivators are dirty, and today I have seen it firsthand,” Xiao Yunluo retorted, her voice cold.

“Then open your eyes again,” Ye Anping said with a smile, waving his sword finger with his left hand. Two spiritual lights, one golden and one blue, rose into the sky from both ends of the street, forming a cover of spiritual power that enveloped the entire street.

Gu Mingxin glanced upward, and Xue said, “Ming Xin, it’s the method of Seven Bagua. There is no way to escape.”

“Tsk…”

Gu Mingxin clicked her tongue while Ye Anping shrugged dandily and said, “What will it be? Will you surrender now, or shall we wait until the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Execution Court or the Emperor of the Central Domain arrives and then surrender?”

“Ming Xin, why don’t we pretend to surrender? We can catch them all when they get closer. They’re too spread out now, and if we fight, we’ll be attacked from both sides,” Xue suggested.

Hearing this, Gu Mingxin’s teeth bulged slightly. She glanced at Xiao Yunluo, who remained silent in her arms and pressed the spiritual sword closer to her neck.

“Ah…” Ye Anping stepped forward, seemingly startled, and Erkang interjected, “Are you sure you want to do this? If you kill her, then don’t even think about dying.”

“Heh… Doesn’t Young Master Liang know the principle of besieging an army?” Gu Mingxin retorted.

“…” Liang Zhu remained silent.

“Say goodbye to your senior sister,” Gu Mingxin said, her eyes fixed on Xu Mo in front of Liang Zhu. She then pressed the sword harder against Xiao Yunluo’s neck. When she saw Liang Zhu’s dagger embedded in Xu Mo’s neck, a curve formed at the corner of her mouth.

“Junior brother, I’m sorry. Senior sister will set up a monument for you after escaping,” Gu Mingxin said, her voice filled with remorse.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo’s eyes widened slightly, and his expression relaxed. He decisively pushed his neck toward Liang Zhu’s dagger.

Swish— Blood foam spurted out.

The clear sky after the rain was instantly shrouded in black mist, and the shadows of Ye Anping and others on the street disappeared instantly. Ye Anping raised his head, feigning confusion.

At that moment, Gu Mingxin’s eyes were determined as she wiped Xiao Yunluo’s neck with the spiritual sword in her hand.

Ding—

There was no sound of the sword penetrating flesh, only the clang of spiritual swords colliding and a piercing pain emanating from her right palm.

A golden spiritual energy emanated from Xiao Yunluo’s body, enveloping her completely.

Xiao Yunluo’s eyes, filled with tears, suddenly showed some confusion. She didn’t know what was happening, but she saw the golden spiritual energy emanating from her body, seemingly devouring the black fog in the sky. The sun’s rays once again illuminated the street, casting shadows on everyone on the street.

“Ming Xin! Stay away from her!! Hurry!” Xue’e’s voice echoed in Gu Mingxin’s mind.

Gu Mingxin immediately released Xiao Yunluo and jumped back, then rushed toward Ye Anping’s direction. She needed a shield, and at the moment, the boy was the closest to her.

This young man seemed to be the leader of the group. However, when she came to Ye Anping and saw his pair of deep purple eyes that showed no emotion, Gu Mingxin reacted again.

This was what the young man in front of him expected.

“What a monster…” Gu Mingxin’s red eyes showed no fear but revealed a hint of excitement. The blood-colored spiritual sword in her right hand swiftly swung toward Ye Anping’s neck.

She smiled and said, “I feel like I have fallen in love with you… Mr. Liang.”

“Bear it,” Ye Anping replied speechlessly, but he did not raise his sword to block Gu Mingxin’s spiritual sword. He knew that he could not block it, but…

Ding—

Two phantoms, one black and one white, jumped out from behind Ye Anping. The spiritual swords in their hands crossed in front of Ye Anping, intercepting Gu Mingxin’s slash.

Pei Lianxue stared at Gu Mingxin’s face and did not stop after helping her senior brother block a sword. The speed of connecting sword techniques was dizzying, and seven sword lights were swung out instantly, approaching Gu Mingxin from four directions.

At the same time, Feng Yudie also pursued using her Nine Heavens Sword Technique to slash at the areas that Pei Lianxue failed to take care of.

In close combat between sword cultivators, it was usually one-on-one. In a two-on-one situation, the swords of the two people could easily interfere with each other, resulting in a less effective outcome. However, the sword techniques of Feng Yudie and Pei Lianxue complemented each other. It was more accurate to say that Feng Yudie was strategically waiting for opportunities throughout, actively coordinating with Pei Lianxue in wielding her sword.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

Soft rustling—

Clang clang clang—

Resonant ringing—

On the street, a fierce wind arose, and the sword light transformed into chaotic currents scattering in all directions.

The Heavenly Execution Court disciples on both sides, wielding magical weapons, could only witness three fleeting shadows darting back and forth on the street, accompanied by bursts of firelight and the piercing clang of swords.

Ye Anping stood his ground, refraining from intervening. While he could coordinate with his junior sister, with Feng Yudie present, his involvement would only disrupt matters. Thus, he promptly brandished his sword to divert the attention of the surrounding Heavenly Execution Court disciples,

“Get ready!”

Upon hearing this command, the Heavenly Execution Court disciples withdrew their gaze, forming sword-like gestures with their hands and making seals before their chests.

Boom—

In an instant, dark clouds densely gathered in the sky, flashing bursts of lightning.

Ye Anping’s eyes followed the three figures darting on the street, seeking an opportunity, silently counting down in his mind,

Three… two… one!

“Activate!”

At the command, the Thundering Dragon Thunderbolt thundered down, and Pei Lianxue and Feng Yudie, pressing toward Gu Mingxin, immediately halted their steps and leaped away behind them.

Gu Mingxin’s bloodshot eyes, originally focused on dealing with the two, saw them jump away and looked up at the sky, only to witness the thunderous dragon opening its maw wide, ready to swallow down.

“Xue!!!”

She clenched her teeth and cried out a name. Although Ye Anping didn’t recognize Xue, he immediately understood and called out a name,

“Tian.”

Although his voice was barely audible, only he could hear it, Xiao Tian promptly emerged from Feng Yudie’s forehead. Two tiny figures, one black and one gold, appeared above their respective masters almost simultaneously.

When Xiao Tian saw Xue, his eyes widened in shock,

“What?”

However, Xue looked disdainful and clicked her tongue,

“Tsk…”

Xue floated in the air, crossed her legs, formed a sword finger with her hand, and pointed towards the sky.

Rumble—

Like an earth dragon stirring, the houses on either side of the street shook, and in the next moment, a black python emerged from the ground, opening its mouth wide and swallowing the thunder dragon from the sky in one gulp.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Tian was momentarily stunned, then quickly shouted,

“Lao Jiu!”

Golden spiritual energy poured out from Feng Yudie’s body, forming a golden dragon that lunged toward the black python, clamping seven inches away. The two beasts stirred up dust on the ground for hundreds of feet.

Ye Anping also shouted quickly,

“Brother Liang, let’s go again!”

Immediately, he bent down, raised his sword, and charged towards Gu Mingxin inside the snake’s belly, shouting, “Junior Sister!”

Pei Lianxue, upon hearing this, diverted her gaze and hurled the Snow Spirit Sword in her hand towards the snake’s belly.

One sword and one person arrived almost simultaneously at the snake’s belly. Ye Anping caught the spirit sword thrown by his junior sister and slashed across with the Sword Questioning Art

Swish—

A blast of ice-blue sword energy swept through, and black blood gushed out instantly. Simultaneously, Gu Mingxin, lurking in the snake’s belly, seized the opportunity of the blood curtain to rush out with her sword, aiming a thrust at Ye Anping.

“Tsk…”

Ye Anping, seeing this, was speechless and had no choice but to grasp the Snow Spirit Sword to defend against the attack.

Seeing his reaction, Gu Mingxin smirked slightly, and her half-drawn spiritual sword suddenly changed its trajectory to aim for a riposte.

Ding—

The Snow Spirit Sword was deflected out of Ye Anping’s hand by her, spinning into the sky.

Seeing Ye Anping unarmed, Gu Mingxin raised an eyebrow slightly, “Take him~,” then reached out to grab Ye Anping’s neck.

But unexpectedly, an icy-blue sword light descended vertically.

Pei Lianxue leaped into the air to catch the sword, then descended vertically, placing her hand directly in front of Ye Anping’s neck.

“Tsk…”

Gu Mingxin glared at Pei Lianxue, but Pei Lianxue showed no fear in return. Her orange eyes seemed to convey, If you want to harm my senior brother, you have to get through me first.

Sough—

Ten sword lights poured down. Gu Mingxin furrowed her brow slightly, doing her best to block with her spiritual sword, but still, a few swords slipped through.

Swish swish—

Two terrifying, bloody wounds intersected on her chest. Just as Pei Lianxue was about to deliver the final blow, Xue, commanding the black python in its battle with Feng Yudie and the Holy Emperor’s dragon body, shouted,

“Ming Xin!! Alright!!”

Hearing this, Gu Mingxin’s gaze shifted to Ye Anping’s face,

“Master Liang, I remember you!!”

“…”

Upon hearing this, Ye Anping immediately grabbed his junior sister facing forward, pulled her collar, and quickly jumped backward.

“Why?”

“Junior sister, let’s go!!”

Just as Ye Anping jumped back with Pei Lianxue, the black python, previously entangled with the Holy Emperor’s dragon body, suddenly opened its mouth wide and plunged downward, swallowing Gu Mingxin and the 20-foot area around her into its belly, wriggling along the street and fleeing rapidly towards the east gate of Tainan City.

In the sky, thunder continued to roar, and many Heavenly Execution Court disciples tirelessly summoned spells to strike its scales. Although they could harm the giant python, they could not stop its advance.

Feng Yudie, now grabbing the tail of the giant python, stabbed at its scales with her spiritual sword, but her efforts were futile due to its immense size.

In the end, Ye Anping shouted, “Senior Sister Feng!”

She jumped off the back of the black python and flung the snake blood on her spiritual sword aside.

“Whispering sound–”

Soon after, there was a loud “Boom” as the black python used its head to break open the east gate of Tainan City, slipping into the forest and disappearing.

Watching this scene, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief:

“It’s not worth it if you stop me forcefully, that’s all…”

Then, he walked back to Liang Zhu and glanced at the Heavenly Execution Court disciples on both sides,

“Brother Liang, ask the Heavenly Execution Court disciples to search the woods. Although they probably won’t find her, it will delay her.”

Liang Zhu glanced at the city gate knocked open in the distance, sighed, and raised his hand to signal,

“Search!!”

After arranging this, Ye Anping looked at Xiao Yunluo, unconscious in the middle of the street, feeling quite sorry.

He had originally intended for Si Xuanji to handle Xu Mo’s bomb, but since she hadn’t come, he had no choice but to borrow the protective spell Si Xuanji had set for Xiao Yunluo.

Ye Anping walked over, knelt, and picked up Xiao Yunluo from the ground. After exchanging greetings with Feng Yudie and Pei Lianxue, he walked along the street towards the Western District.
