The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C42

Chapter 42: Senior brother has become a burden

If the younger sister were to attack, Ye Anping felt that he could still fend it off. After all, he had been practising with his junior sister every day for more than a decade, and he was very familiar with her sword techniques. However, facing Feng Yudie was a different story.

Her “Nine Heavens Sword Technique,” even in the gaming world, was the only set capable of dealing “real damage,” and players taking on the role of a formidable banished immortal needed to accumulate enough points in the later stages of the game to learn it.

Yet, Ye Anping remained calm. He knew that among those present, his brother Liang was probably the most anxious. As the only person aware of how to discreetly leave the back mountain of Xuanxing Sect, if he were to perish, Liang Zhu, even if victorious against Feng Yudie and Pei Lianxue, would likely face retaliation from incoming disciples of Xuanxing Sect.

Unlike his “brothers 2, 3, 4, and 5,” Liang Zhu was composed and intelligent. He surely understood this. In other words, Liang Zhu would undoubtedly go to great lengths to protect him, as Ye Anping had anticipated.

As expected, Liang Zhu, watching Feng Yudie charging towards him, opted not to engage in full combat with Pei Lianxue but swiftly positioned himself in front of Ye Anping, intercepting Feng Yudie’s sword. He retrieved several talismans from his storage bag and activated them, creating a ball of intense fire that exploded in front of him and Feng Yudie, forcing her back.

At this moment, Pei Lianxue approached from behind Ye Anping, aiming her sword at her senior brother’s back. Liang Zhu, seizing the opportunity, summoned another talisman, producing a scalding heat wave that pushed Pei Lianxue back. Sensing the situation, Liang Zhu then grabbed Ye Anping, soared into the sky, and flew away using his flying sword.

Feng Yudie’s enraged shouts echoed from below, but Liang Zhu, for the sake of Ye Anping’s safety, focused on leaving the area rather than engaging further in the confrontation.

After a while, Ye Anping turned to see Feng Yudie still below, attempting to throw her sword towards them in frustration. Uncertain of the appropriate expression, Ye Anping recognised that all in all, the situation had unfolded as he anticipated.

Liang Zhu, a practitioner of Dharma as indicated by the talismans, specifically a Dharma cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, had effectively neutralised the threat. Without flying swords, Feng Yudie and Pei Lianxue would find it challenging to close in on him while he soared on his flying sword.

During their flight, Ye Anping took the opportunity to apologise, “Brother Liang, I’m sorry. If I hadn’t come, you would have had to face those two alone…”

“It’s nothing,” Liang Zhu replied, glancing at him, “I expected that Feng Yudie, capable of defeating the Grand Master of the Gu Poison Sect, would be challenging. But I truly didn’t anticipate that the other girl accompanying her would be equally formidable…”

I taught her well, Ye Anping thought and suppressed a smile, nodded, and remarked in a serious tone, “It’s unbelievable. How can a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage effortlessly defeat a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, as if chopping vegetables?”

“Hehe…” Liang Zhu smiled wryly, shaking his head, “Are cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage these days at that level?”

“Of course not. If all cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage were like those two, the world would be unbearable. The real Qi Refining Stage cultivator should be the purple-haired girl just now,” Ye Anping explained.

Hearing this, Liang Zhu also recalled the purple-haired girl and couldn’t help but sigh once again. Those two girls were like monsters.

Most cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage had recently entered the path of immortality. They spent their days practising sword techniques and meditating, lacking experience in actual combat. Therefore, when facing enemies, typical cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage would panic and hesitate due to the lack of killing experience.

However, Feng Yudie and the other girl were entirely different. It was as if they had grown up in a blood-soaked environment, killing without a moment’s hesitation.

Liang Zhu let out a sigh, recalling that he had just taken the sword from the purple-haired girl. He pointed to the sword and handed it to Ye Anping, asking, “At least I didn’t return empty-handed, although the cost was high. Little boss, take a look at this sword.”

Ye Anping examined Xiao Yunluo’s sword, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said, “This sword is crafted from a single piece of mysterious stone.”

“Mysterious stone? What’s that?” asked Liang Zhu.

“Mysterious stone is a rare spiritual substance often used in forging spiritual swords,” Ye Anping explained.

“I see…” Liang Zhu nodded in understanding and asked, “So, how much is it worth?”

Ye Anping observed Liang Zhu’s expression and decided not to mention the value of a million spiritual stones. Instead, he said, “It’s quite valuable. If you auction it on the black market and find a buyer who likes it, you can still sell it for 10,000 spirit stones.”

“Ten thousand spirit stones? Is the sword that valuable?” Liang Zhu asked in surprise.

“Of course, it’s worth it,” replied Ye Anping.

Liang Zhu nodded, and while flying on the sword, Ye Anping quickly wiped off his fingerprints and handed the sword back. Liang Zhu received the sword, inspected it, and jokingly said, “It seems that the second brother and the others didn’t die in vain… Hahaha… What do you think, little boss?”

“I think…” Ye Anping raised an eyebrow, expressing a hint of disappointment, “I still like the second brother and the others. These three days were like a brotherhood show. Let’s go set up a monument for them and burn something in their memory.”

“Hahaha… sounds good,” Liang Zhu chuckled.

Riding on the flying sword, the two of them discreetly slipped away from the back of Xuanxing Sect.
