The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

The wine shop was located on the central street of Heavenly Sorrow City. It was fifty feet wide and seventeen hundred feet long, leading directly to the City Lord's Mansion. At this moment, both sides were full of wandering demonic cultivators.

Yun Jiujiu walked in the middle of the street, pretending to be a Seductive cultivator who was looking around for male pets.

To be honest, she was quite confused now.

Her intuition told her that all the cultivators on the street had seen her identity as an immortal cultivator, but no one stopped her when she took the city entry token or entered the city gate. Also, Chang Long and the other two kept insisting that she really "looked like a demonic cultivator."

Yun Jiujiu was now unsure whether her intuition was right or what Chang Long and the others said was right...

But in short, she had already sneaked into Heavenly Sorrow City.

After finding out useful information, she would just escape.

So, Yun Jiujiu simply ignored the gazes cast at her from left and right and scanned both sides of the street, looking for a place to find information.

Like this, she walked about a hundred steps along the street toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Suddenly, a man with black hair and a silver sword came out of a tavern on one side of the street.

Ye Anping walked to the center of the street, dragging the sword in his right hand. Because of Gu Mingxin's blood, his whole body was filled with a strong demonic spirit.

Whoosh—

As the sword made a sound of breaking through the air, the demonic cultivators on the street immediately understood that someone was finally ready to take action. In an instant, they squeezed into the shops on both sides, leaving only Yun Jiujiu and Ye Anping on the street.

No matter how dumb Yun Jiujiu was, she realized something was wrong. But thinking about what Chang Long and the others had just said, she raised her voice slightly and asked in a tone she thought appropriate for a Seductive cultivator, "Fellow cultivator, what are you doing?" 

Ye Anping didn't know what expression to make when he heard Yun Jiujiu's tone that sounded like a child selling sex. But since Gong Yimo was watching from the side, he could only hint at her with his eyes: Jiujiu, after three moves, you pretend to be defeated and captured by me. 

However, Yun Jiujiu was not Feng Yu Die or his sister after all, and Ye Anping was now wearing Kong Huayuan's human skin mask on his face. Seeing his eyes fixed on her, Yun Jiujiu frowned, thinking that he wanted to invite her to practice dual cultivation or something. After all, she looked like a Seductive cultivator now...

"Fellow cultivator, I am an Elder of the Hedonistic Sect, don't think that anyone can get on my bed..."

Ye Anping helplessly sighed and raised his head. "Second Miss Yun, you really think you are a demonic cultivator now?"

"..."

At these words, Yun Jiujiu felt as if struck by lightning, and she trembled three times. She looked at the pavilions and shops on both sides of the street as if she had just realized something.

"Damn it!!!"

An irritable Loli voice sounded.

Then, a golden light flew out of Yun Jiujiu's storage bag, turned into a seven-foot-long heavy sword, and landed in her seemingly soft little hands.

Boom—

Yun Jiujiu smashed the sword on the pavement without saying a word, filling the street with smoke and dust.

Taking advantage of the smoke and dust, Yun Jiujiu turned around and fled toward the city gate without looking back while cursing, "I knew this was not a good idea!!"

Although Yun Jiujiu thought that the demonic cultivator who blocked the road just now was nothing special, this was a wolf's den after all. No matter how reckless she was, she would not fight a pack of wolves alone in the wolf's den.

The short figure trailed a golden line on the street, going straight to the city gate.

However, the guards at the gate were instructed by Gong Yimo. When Yun Jiujiu rushed to the gate, the two iron doors weighing ten thousand pounds merged into one.

Boom—

A blood-colored energy shield rose from the city wall, cutting off Yun Jiujiu's escape route. 

Ye Anping followed Yun Jiujiu to the gate of Heavenly Sorrow City without panic. Seeing her standing stupidly in front of the city gate with no way out, he clenched the sword in his hand.

At the same time, Gong Yimo also followed up with four Nascent Soul-stage cultivators, flying on their swords above the two.

Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin were also among them.

Because Ye Anping had previously told them not to attack or speak under any circumstances, they hovered on their flying swords behind Gong Yimo and the four Nascent Soul-stage demonic cultivators.

Gong Yimo smiled as if he was watching a play and said, "Master Liang, just go all out."

"What the hell?!" Yun Jiujiu looked up at Gong Yimo and the Nascent Soul-stage demonic cultivators who were surrounding her from above and realized that she was in trouble. She cursed loudly, took out her wine gourd, bit off the cork, and took a big gulp.

Then, she raised her foot and stepped forward.

Boom—

Countless cracks instantly appeared on the stone-paved street, and the entire city shook. 

"Fucking demonic cultivators!!"

The next moment, Yun Jiujiu turned her head and glared at Ye Anping. The force of her step shook the earth, and she turned into a golden line as she rushed toward Ye Anping with the sword.

"Fucking die!!!"

Bang—

The heavy sword dragged out a golden dragon shadow, breaking through the air and pressing directly toward Ye Anping's face.

Among the three ladies of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, apart from Yun Xi who practiced the orthodox Leaf Shadow Sword technique, Yun Yiyi's Soft Water Sword technique and Yun Jiujiu's Mountain Dwelling Sword technique were both side branches derived from the Questioning Sword technique.

Ye Anping looked at the heavy sword calmly, as if he had seen through it, and raised his right hand before slowly turning his Bai Yue Sword around. 

Ding—

Yun Jiujiu's golden spirit and Ye Anping's spirit disguised with Gu Mingxin's demonic blood collided, instantly tearing the ground around them for a hundred feet, and then disappeared.

"!!"

Yun Jiujiu's eyes widened. She had just used all her strength to strike with the sword.

However, the "demonic cultivator" in front of her seemed to have seen through the weakness of her sword tactics and easily deflected her heavy sword with the fragile-looking sword in his hand.

In a moment, Yun Jiujiu realized the demonic cultivator in front of her must have a strong connection with the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

Ye Anping looked at Yun Jiujiu's face calmly and hinted with his eyes:

—Do you recognize me?

However...

Yun Jiujiu took a step back, stabilized her body, and used force to counter force. She turned around and swung her heavy sword in a circle towards the other side of Ye Anping while roaring angrily, "Which fucking son of a bitch are you?!"

"..."

Ye Anping's heart skipped a beat. Glancing at his silly sister-in-law, he gritted his teeth, used the Questioning Sword technique to hit Yun Jiujiu's sword's weak spot, then followed with a whip kick.

Bang—

"Ugh—"

Yun Jiujiu, who was kicked in the abdomen, flew backward and smashed into the city gate.

Boom—

Her back hit the iron gate weighing ten thousand pounds, and then she slowly slid down, knelt, and inserted her huge sword into the ground, choking out a mouthful of blood.

The fight lasted only a moment, but Gong Yimo, who was watching from above, looked at Ye Anping with some surprise. He didn't even see clearly how Ye Anping blocked the two heavy slashes from Yun Jiujiu that looked like they could destroy a city.

However, he could see that when Ye Anping blocked the two sword strikes from the Second Lady of the Yun family, he didn't even move a step and still stood firm.

Gong Yimo frowned. When he first saw this "Liang Daliu", he looked quite mysterious and thought he should have some strength. But he was a rogue cultivator, after all, so he didn't expect much.

But judging from the two sword strikes just now, this "Liang Daliu" was definitely not just a casual cultivator who had formed his Nascent Soul by luck.

A nameless sword technique, coupled with the murderous aura that was comparable to that of the Young Miss Gu in his impression, and the sword covered in silver light...

"Wow... this fellow cultivator Liang..."

Just as Gong Yimo was re-evaluating the strength of "Liang Daliu" in his mind, a sudden roar came from Yun Jiujiu's direction and shook the entire city below.

—"Haa! Damn it!!"

Yun Jiujiu gritted her teeth and looked at Ye Anping in the distance, knowing that if she didn't take it seriously, she would probably die here. She activated all her spiritual energy, filling up her meridians.

Rumble—

The world trembled as Yun Jiujiu's desperate move made the natural spiritual vein where Heavenly Sorrow City was located, resonate and vibrate.

With the golden spiritual energy surrounding her body, Yun Jiujiu inhaled deeply, took a step forward, put the huge sword on her shoulder, and wiped the blood at her mouth.

"So fucking annoying, I'm going to explode with you, filthy demonic cultivators!!"

Seeing Yun Jiujiu wanting to explode her Nascent Soul just because of nerves, Ye Anping's calm eyes revealed a complicated look.

He had hinted so clearly, but Yun Jiujiu hadn't discovered his identity yet, and now she was actually ready to fight him to the death.

If Yun Jiujiu fought to the death, he might not be able to take it if he didn't go all out.

But if he went all out, Gu Mingxin's murderous aura might not be able to cover up his Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul...

If Gong Yimo didn't take action, he would have no choice but to ask Gu Mingxin to come down and help. However, Gu Mingxin's attack was very ruthless, and it was possible that Yun Jiujiu would be chopped off in one sword strike...

Ye Anping was a little hesitant, but fortunately, Gong Yimo was not going to watch the fight anymore.

left

He had asked Ye Anping and Yun Jiujiu to fight, just to test Ye Anping's strength. Now that the test was concluded, Yun Jiujiu couldn't be allowed to die.

Heavenly Sorrow City still needed her, the second daughter of the Yun family, as a hostage.

"Elder Chen, make your move. If you don't make your move, Brother Liang will complain later."

"Yes... Young Master."

A bearded old man floating beside Gong Yimo twisted the fingers of his right hand and released his demonic energy.

In an instant, countless blood-colored vines broke out from the ground around Yun Jiujiu and climbed on her body, binding her shoulders, ankles, and body.

This bearded man was an Elder of the Nine Hells Sect, and the spell he used was called the Blood Soul Ghost Spell. It was a ghost spell that he had spent more than a hundred years creating. 

The spiritual energy of a person entangled by the blood vines summoned by this spell would be drained away immediately. If there was no one around to help, it would be impossible to...

Swish—

Yun Jiujiu looked at the blood vines on the ground with disgust. Although her hands and feet were entangled, she just swung the giant sword in her hand and cut off the blood vines directly. "Damn, what a disgusting thing!!"

Seeing Yun Jiujiu break free from his spell so easily, the old man was a little surprised, but before he could cast the spell again, a golden light rose from the ground and pierced through his chest directly.

Glaring angrily, Yun Jiujiu arrived in front of that man in a moment, holding the giant sword in both hands and waving it vigorously. A gust of wind wrapped in golden spiritual light swept out and tore the old man's body into pieces in an instant. 

"Heh... Look at this! It's so--"

Gong Yimo, who was standing aside, looked at what happened to Elder Chen with a trace of horror in his eyes.

Killed in seconds?!

He had heard before that Yun Jiujiu was a genius and was born with supernatural power, but he thought that no matter how genius she was, she couldn't kill a Nascent Soul-stage cultivator of the same level as her in one strike.

So, Gong Yimo only brought four Nascent Soul-stage demonic cultivators.

But now, seeing this scene, he realized that he had completely underestimated Yun Jiujiu.

He quickly put his hand on the hilt of the black sword at his waist, assuming a sword stance.

After Yun Jiujiu dealt with the old man, she immediately looked toward Ye Anping.

She knew that the old man was just a show-off, but the demonic cultivator who blocked her two sword strikes was definitely not easy to deal with.

Anyway, she probably couldn't escape, so she might as well take as many as possible with her!!

So before that demonic cultivator made a move!!

Yun Jiujiu glared at Gong Yimo, her eyes full of murderous intent.

Boom—

Then, there was a loud bang. Yun Jiujiu stepped out of empty air, wrapped in golden spiritual energy, and turned into a golden light again, heading straight for Gong Yimo's face.

The other three Nascent Soul cultivators beside Gong Yimo immediately joined forces to form a spiritual shield to help him resist.

However—

"Hah—!"

The heavy sword smashed directly into the spiritual shield formed by the three Nascent Soul cultivators.

Although it did not break, the spiritual energy explosion put a serious strain on the three people.

"Young Master Gong, please first..."

Boom—!!

Yun Jiujiu did not freeze when she could not break the spiritual shield in front of  Gong Yimo with one blow. She turned around and slashed with her sword again.

This time, a crack appeared on the shield in front of Gong Yimo.

Seeing hope, Yun Jiujiu's eyes showed a little excitement. She continued to swing her heavy sword upward, but at the third swing, she noticed two women standing not far behind Gong Yimo.

One had black hair and the other white, and both wore silver masks.

Yun Jiujiu felt that the white-haired one looked familiar...

"Eh?"

Just as she was wondering, a figure suddenly jumped up from the ground below silently.

Ye Anping actually wanted to watch the show for a while, waiting for Yun Jiujiu to chop the three demonic cultivators beside Gong Yimo before taking action, but he couldn't wait any longer.

After all—

Rumble—

The sky that had been cleared by Yun Jiujiu's spiritual energy was once again covered with dark clouds, and blood-colored lightning flashed, bringing waves of overwhelming pressure.

Ye Anping could see that the Lord of the Heavenly Sorrow City had arrived.

If he didn't take action to knock off Yun Jiujiu, the City Lord would have to do it.

In the end, he was a cultivator in the Deification stage. No matter how powerful Yun Jiujiu was, if she was struck by one of his thunder spells, she would be left half dead.

A blood-colored light rushed toward them from the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

A middle-aged man in a black robe appeared above them and looked at Yun Jiujiu, who was enveloped in the golden immortal aura, as if looking at a disobedient child. "Yimo..."

After seeing him, Yun Jiujiu reckoned that the man was most likely the Lord of Heavenly Sorrow City. However,  there was no fear on her face. Instead, she directly stared him down. "Damn it!! Old demon!! I will also finish you off today..."

After saying that, Yun Jiujiu turned her head and wanted to hit the City Lord directly in the face.

Ye Anping was really annoyed by her. Before she could make a move, he went behind her and hit her on the back of her neck with the hilt of his sword.

Bang—

Yun Jiujiu didn't even notice that Ye Anping came behind her, but her neck was hard. After being hit by Ye Anping, she didn't faint, but instead, she turned around and swung the heavy sword behind her.

"Fuck!"

"..."

Ye Anping's eyes twitched. He poked Yun Jiujiu's belly with one finger and then raised his knee to hit her belly.

"Ugh—you shitty… ah—!"

Before she finished scolding, Ye Anping hit her belly with his elbow.

The air distorted with this blow as Yun Jiujiu flew backward and fell to the ground, leaving a huge pit on the already broken street. 

Dust filled the air, and the golden spiritual energy that surrounded Yun Jiujiu dissipated.

When the Lord of the Heavenly Sorrow City saw this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately descended from a thousand feet high in front of Ye Anping. He stroked his beard, sizing him up.

At this time, Gong Yimo and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators also retracted their spiritual energy and cupped their hands. "Greetings to the City Lord." 

City Lord Gong Yue nodded, reached out to brush away the dust on his adopted son's collar, and scolded him. "Yimo, you can play, but don't risk your life..."

"Understood..." 

Then, he turned to look at Ye Anping and asked, "Who is this man?" 

Gong Yimo introduced Ye Anping. "His name is Liang Daliu. He is a rogue cultivator, and now that the situation has turned out like this, he wants to settle in Heavenly Sorrow City."

Gong Yue stared at Ye Anping's face for a while, then said, "Fellow cultivator Liang, you look quite similar to someone I know."

Ye Anping bowed with a smile. "I can guess who you are talking about. It should be the eldest son of the Kong family of the Ghost Spirit Sect, right? I once met Young Master Kong, and it was quite the shock. We stared at each other for a long time in the middle of the street..."

"Hehe..." Gong Yue probed Ye Anping with his spiritual sense and saw that he was full of bloody demonic energy. He snorted twice, looked around, and, seeing that Elder Chen was broken into pieces, he simply said, "That's such a coincidence. Chen Yu was the one who took care of the Blood Prison of the Heavenly Sorrow City. He was killed like this by this girl from the Sword Sect... Then, you can take over his position temporarily." 

"...Thank you, Senior Gong." 

Gong Yue glanced at Ye Anping again and then turned his head to Gu Mingxin, who had not spoken a word the whole time. He glanced at Feng Yu Die and saw that the two of them also bowed.

"Yimo, clean up here... Don't play too much. Take this girl from the Sword Sect to refine blood pills. My city does not need to use hostages to be protected. Those immortal sects in the Southern Region can't defeat my Heavenly Sorrow City."

"Yes..."

After getting Gong Yimo's response, Gong Yue turned into a bloody light and flew back to the City Lord's Mansion.

The blood-colored lightning and black clouds that had accumulated over the city also dispersed one after another.

The demonic cultivators hiding in the shops on both sides of the street saw that the storm had subsided, and they came out one by one, curiously surrounding the large pit left by Yun Jiujiu.

Ye Anping looked at Yun Jiujiu and said, "I will take care of this girl, okay?" 

Gong Yimo smiled crookedly as he patted Ye Anping on the shoulder. "The City Lord has spoken. You don't need to ask me for permission in the future. Take this girl from the Sword Sect if you want." 

"Thank you." 

"Oh, by the way! If you want to use her to make pills, remember to leave me a bunch of hair or something. I want to send it to Seven Star Pass, hehe..." 

"...Sure." Ye Anping nodded, then exchanged a look with Gu Mingxin and Feng Yu Die and landed at Yun Jiujiu's side. 

Yun Jiujiu's mouth and nose were now covered with blood bubbles, and her eyes were a little out of focus. Every one of Ye Anping's blows landed on specific acupoints on her meridians. Although it was not fatal, it sealed her spiritual energy and immobilized her hands and feet. 

Seeing Ye Anping landing in front of her, Yun Jiujiu gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words. "Who the hell are you?! Why..."

Ye Anping was a little helpless because there were still many demonic cultivators watching around, so he quickly took out a rag and stuffed it into her mouth, then lifted her off the ground.

Seeing that Gong Yimo and the Nascent Soul cultivators had finally left, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief and replied softly, "Your brother-in-law."

?

As soon as these words came out, Yun Jiujiu's somewhat rolling eyes instantly focused.

As if she had just realized something, she quickly turned her head and looked at Feng Yu Die wearing a mask on the side.

"Woo woo woo woo?"

"…"

Although she was mumbling unclearly, Feng Yu Die understood it.

She should be asking: "No-bird?!"

Ye Anping looked at the demonic cultivators around, then took Yun Jiujiu and flew into the air on his sword, heading toward the City Lord's Mansion.
