The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Yun Xi widened her eyes.

Although this man in black was wearing a half-face golden mask, just by hearing his voice and catching a glimpse of his exposed nose and mouth, she recognized this person as the Master of Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

His full name was Xue Xinghai, a cultivator in the later stage of the Core Formation. He had been operating Heavenly Sword Pavilion in the market for nearly a hundred years. Fifty percent of the spiritual swords used by disciples within the Moon Shadow Sword Sect were forged by him.

Yun Xi gritted her teeth and pressed Pei Lianxue\'s wrist, signaling her not to act rashly, before asking, "Master Xue?! What are you doing?"

"It\'s a long story." Xue Xinghai smiled, hung Yun Shulong\'s head on his waist, then clenched the sword in his right hand and swept his gaze over the four people. "Let\'s say I\'m repaying someone\'s kindness."

"Whose?"

"You don\'t need to know. Anyway, since life is short, why bother yourself before you die?"

"..."

Realizing that Xue Xinghai was about to make a move, Yun Xi subconsciously held her breath. What should she do?

Although she had sent Zhang Yihe to bring help, they still had to wait for someone to arrive. Could the four of them really hold on until Zhang Yihe brought help?

Yun Xi wanted to buy some time, so she thought of a plan and said, "Master Xue, then, before dying..."

"To hell with you, Xue Xinghai!!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Jiujiu cursed loudly and gripped the giant sword in her hand. Stepping forward, in the blink of an eye, she rushed in front of Xue Xinghai, dragging her sword after her.

Seeing this, the other two people, except Pei Lianxue, took a sharp breath.

Yun Xi and Feng Yu Die both knew that Yun Jiujiu liked to fight, but this person was a whole level above her; how dare she challenge him?!

Boom---

A thunderous sound echoed on the street as the giant sword, even bigger than Yun Jiujiu herself, fiercely slammed into Xue Xinghai, who stood with his hands behind his back. However, he effortlessly intercepted it mid-air with his summoned sword.

Dong---

Yun Jiujiu felt as if her sword had struck an iron block, causing a buzzing sensation in her ears. But, without hesitation, she gritted her teeth, shouted loudly and exerted all her strength to press down the giant sword.

As a result, the purple sword that was originally blocking her own giant sword finally couldn\'t withstand the pressure and moved downward slightly.

Xue Xinghai raised an eyebrow and said, "Second Miss, your strength is really getting bigger and bigger. I\'m a level higher than you in cultivation, but I still can\'t block your sword with one hand."

"Yaaa--"

Just as Yun Jiujiu was exerting all her strength, pressing down on her sword, Xue Xinghai\'s left hand slightly flicked, and a golden light descended vertically from the sky, straight toward her forehead.

Yun Jiujiu noticed something and glanced up for a moment. However, the speed of the golden light was too fast to dodge at all. Just at that moment, a sword interposed in front of her forehead.

Ding---

The golden light collided with the sword, and Feng Yu Die frowned slightly. With her wrist dexterity, she deflected the golden light, while Pei Lianxue took advantage of this opportunity to sneak behind Xue Xinghai.

The ice blue sword light flashed and then split into ten.

Xue Xinghai\'s reaction was extremely fast. After catching a glimpse of the ten sword lights, he showed a hint of astonishment but didn\'t pause. He hit Yun Jiujiu with his knee to force her back and turned around, swinging his purple sword.

Clang clang clang---

In the crisp sound of swords colliding, one opening after another appeared on Xue Xinghai\'s black brocade robe but failed to leave a trace on his skin.

Xue Xinghai clenched his teeth and finally, after receiving the tenth sword light, seized the opportunity when Pei Lianxue retracted her sword, retaliating in kind.

But before he could strike back with his sword, Feng Yu Die, behind him, swiftly turned around and aimed a straight stab at his neck.

Xue Xinghai quickly turned his head to dodge, but unexpectedly, Feng Yu Die\'s sword path suddenly changed from stabbing to sweeping. He was caught off guard and had to raise his left hand, preparing to block the sword with his body in the late stage of the Core Formation.

However--

Swish---

The golden light of Feng Yu Die\'s sword flashed, and, like cutting tofu, it cut his left arm into two pieces.

"What?"

Xue Xinghai\'s eyes were filled with astonishment, and he released all his spiritual power and magic to repel the two people.

Boom--- Bang---

The earth-shattering air wave expanded with Xue Xinghai as the center, slamming directly into Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die. Although they both quickly blocked their bodies with their swords, they still couldn\'t hold on and were blown off, slamming into the buildings on both sides of the street and falling inside the shattered walls.

"Heh--"

Xue Xinghai stifled a grunt as the images of those two swords flashed in his mind.

The girl with long dark brown hair used a sword technique that was the same as the Leaf Shadow Sword technique, and the level she had reached far surpassed that of Yun Xi.

As for the other one, that silver-haired sissy was actually able to easily break through his late Core Formation stage body with his mere mid-Foundation Building cultivation and could even chop off his arm.

Xue Xinghai glanced at Yun Jiujiu, who was clutching her stomach, desperately trying to get up, then at Yun Xi, who stood still with a sword in hand but hesitated to approach. He clicked his tongue.

Originally, he planned to take their heads in two moves, but he didn\'t expect those two tough opponents to be beside them.

Well! Just kill one and leave immediately. If he delayed any longer, other disciples from the Sword Sect would arrive, and it would be difficult to escape.

With this thought in mind, Xue Xinghai tightened his grip on the sword in his right hand, glared, and rushed toward Yun Jiujiu.

...

A young man hiding on the third floor of a pavilion next to the street watched the situation below. He raised his right index finger to his lips and loudly commanded. "One!"

...

In an instant, countless ice-blue sharp crystals shot toward Xue Xinghai from alleys around the street.

An ambush?... Xue Xinghai\'s eyes widened, and he immediately stopped and used his spiritual power to expand a spherical shield around him.

Rumble---

The ice crystals hit the shield and vaporized into white mist, completely enveloping his body.

At the same time, the young man on the third floor raised another finger and, with the talisman on his left hand, said, "Two!"

The next moment, more than twenty Flowing Water Peak disciples rushed out from the alleys around the street, surrounding the white mist and throwing golden chains toward it.

When Ye Anping saw that all the chains were wrapped around Xue Xinghai, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Yun Yiyi, who was accompanying him. "Miss Yun, let\'s go down."

"...Mm."

Yun Yiyi nodded in response, and then she and Ye Anping jumped out of the attic window and landed lightly on the street.

They walked toward the white mist and stopped about twenty feet away.

When the white mist dispersed, Xue Xinghai had already been bound by chains, but he showed no intention to resist. He just stood there with a solemn expression.

Yun Yiyi was a little worried that these immortal binding chains wouldn\'t be able to restrain him, but she glanced at Ye Anping, and seeing that he was calm and composed, she raised her head and said, "Master Xue, explain yourself?"

"Miss Yun, what is there to explain? Killing two disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect and twenty-seven inner disciples is a capital offense. Whether I speak or not, death is inevitable. It\'s better to die as I should."
