The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 322.2 - The Villain Is Surrounded (Part Two)

"Mingxin, you should pretend to surrender and wait for them to get close enough to kill them all in one fell swoop. Now they are too spread out. If we fight, we will be attacked from both sides."

Gu Mingxin listened to Xue'e's suggestion with clenched teeth, looked at Xiao Yunluo who dared not say a word in her arms, and immediately pressed the sword harder against her neck.

"Hey..."

Ye Anping was "frightened" and took a step forward as if to calm her down. "Are you sure you want to do this? If you kill her, can you bear the consequences?"

"Heh... Master Liang, don't you know the principle of encircling the enemy?"

"..."

"Say goodbye to your sister."

Gu Mingxin's eyes were fixed on Xu Mo held by Liang Zhu, and she pressed the sword harder against Xiao Yunluo's neck. When she saw that Liang Zhu's dagger was also being sunk into Xu Mo's neck, she suddenly displayed a half smile.

This brother's heart had been implanted with a demonic parasite by her master.

Once Xu Mo died, the poison would burst out, and the entire Heavenly Gate City would be shrouded in a toxic aura. It wouldn't have much impact on the Core Formation stage cultivators, but if those in the Foundation Building stage were contaminated, their meridians would be severed. As for the disciples in the Qi Refining stage, they would directly explode and die.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I will erect a monument in your honor after I escape."

Hearing this, Xu Mo's eyes widened slightly, and then his expression relaxed before he decisively pushed his neck into Liang Zhu's dagger.

Swish---

Blood gushed out, foaming.

The clear sky after the rain was instantly suffused with black mist, and the shadows of Ye Anping and others on the street also disappeared at this moment.

Ye Anping looked up, pretending to be confused.

At this time, Gu Mingxin's eyes shone with determination as she swept her sword across Xiao Yunluo's neck.

Ding---

Unexpectedly, there was no sound of a sword entering flesh but only the sound of iron striking as if swords were colliding, as well as a stinging pain coming from her right palm.

A golden aura emerged from Xiao Yunluo's body, enveloping her entirely.

Xiao Yunluo's teary eyes showed some confusion. She didn't even know what had happened, but she saw that the golden spiritual energy radiating from her body seemed to swallow the black mist that filled the sky.

The sun's rays shone again on the street, reflecting everyone's shadows.

"Mingxin! Stay away from her!! Hurry!"

When Gu Mingxin heard Xue'e's warning in her mind, she immediately let go of Xiao Yunluo and jumped back, then dashed straight toward Ye Anping.

The girl must have had a shield, and the kid was the one closest to her at the moment.

Moreover, this teenager seemed to be the leader of the group.

However, closing in to Ye Anping and seeing no emotion in his deep purple eyes, Gu Mingxin realized something.

This was probably exactly what the young man expected her to do.

"What a monster..."

In Gu Mingxin's red eyes, there was no fear. Actually, she even showed some excitement. The blood-colored sword in her right hand immediately swung toward Ye Anping's neck.

Smiling, she said, "I think I like you... Master Liang."

"I don't think I can afford that."

Ye Anping replied flatly, but he did not raise his sword to block Gu Mingxin's sword. He knew that he could not block it, and...

Ding---

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

Pei Lianxue stared down Gu Mingxin and did not stop after blocking the sword for her brother.

The colliding speed of the swords was dazzling. In an instant, seven sword lights shot out, approaching Gu Mingxin from four directions.

At the same time, Feng Yu Die took advantage of the situation, covering the gaps left by Pei Lianxue, with her Nine Heavenly Sword technique.

Sword cultivators usually fought alone in close combat. In a two-on-one situation, the swords of two people could easily interfere with each other and collide, with the result that one plus one was less than one.

However, Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue's sword techniques complemented each other. It would be better said that Feng Yu Die waited for windows of opportunity throughout the process, delivering her blows in coordination with Pei Lianxue.

Sa sa sa---

Dang Dang Dang---

On the street, a violent storm arose, and the lights of the swords turned into turbulence and flew in all directions.

The Justice Division officers, who were holding magical weapons on both sides, could only see three afterimages running back and forth down the street, bringing bursts of flames and the harsh clang of swords.

Ye Anping stood aside and did not interfere. He could cooperate with his sister, but now that Feng Yu Die was fighting, he would only add to the chaos if he went there. Instead, he waved his sword to draw the attention of the surrounding officers. "Get ready!"

Upon hearing this, all the officers withdrew their gaze and formed seals with their hands in front of their chests.

Rumble---

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

Ye Anping's eyes followed the three silhouettes darting on the street, looking for opportunities and silently counting in his mind. Three...two...one!

"Release!!"

At his command, a Heavenly Thunder Dragon suddenly rose from the Thunder Trigram, while Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die immediately stopped the attacks on Gu Mingxin and jumped back.

Gu Mingxin's red eyes were bloodshot, and she could only concentrate on dealing with the two opponents. When she saw them jumping away, she raised her head and looked at the sky, only to see the Thunder Dragon coming with its mouth wide open, about to swallow her like a pill.

"Xue'e!!!"

She gritted her teeth and shouted a name.

Although Ye Anping didn't know "Xue'e", he immediately reacted by calling out a name as well. "Xiao Tian."

And although his voice was extremely low, so low that only he could hear it, Xiao Tian immediately came out of Feng Yu Die's brow.

Two figures, one black and one golden, appeared above their masters' heads almost at the same time.

When Xiao Tian saw Xue'e, her eyes suddenly widened. "What?!"

Xue'e, on the other hand, looked disgusted and clicked her tongue. "Tsk..."

Floating in the air, Xue'e crossed her legs, made a sword finger with her hand, and pointed toward the sky.

Rumble---

As if an Earth Dragon was turning underground, the houses on both sides of the street shook left and right, and in the next moment, a black python emerged from the ground, opened its mouth, and swallowed the Thunder Dragon in the sky.

Seeing this, Xiao Tian froze for a moment and hurriedly shouted, "Old Dragon!!"

Golden spiritual energy leaked out from Feng Yu Die's body and condensed into a golden dragon that opened its mouth and bit the black python. The bodies of the two beasts stirred up the dust on the ground for hundreds of feet.

Ye Anping also shouted, "Brother Liang, let's do it again!"

With that, he bent down and rushed toward Gu Mingxin, who was now shielded in the snake's belly, while shouting, "Sister!!"

Pei Lianxue looked over and immediately threw her Snow Jade Spirit Sword toward the snake's belly.

One sword and one person arrived in front of the snake's belly almost at the same time. Catching the sword thrown by his sister, Ye Anping used his Interrogation Sword technique to cut horizontally in one swift move.

Swish---

The ice-blue sword energy swept across, and black blood spurted out instantly. At the same time, Gu Mingxin, who was staying in the snake's belly, took advantage of the blood curtain to rush out and stab Ye Anping with her sword.

"Tsk..."

Ye Anping had no choice but to withdraw the Snow Jade Spirit Sword to block the attack.

Seeing his action, Gu Mingxin smirked lightly as the sword that was about to stab him suddenly changed its trajectory.

Ding---

The Snow Jade Spirit Sword was simply picked up by her from Ye Anping's right hand, and it was sent flying, spinning toward the sky.

Seeing that he was defenseless, without a weapon to block her, Gu Mingxin raised her eyebrows slightly. "Got you~" She then reached out to grab Ye Anping's neck.

But unexpectedly, an icy blue sword light came down on her.

Pei Lianxue, who had leaped into the air to catch the sword, came down vertically and cut off her hand right in front of Ye Anping's neck.

"Tsk..."

Gu Mingxin glared at Pei Lianxue, but she was not afraid of her gaze at all. Those amber eyes seemed to say: If you want to hurt my brother, you have to get past me first.

Sa Sa---

Ten sword lights poured down.

Gu Mingxin frowned slightly and tried her best to block with her sword, but she still missed a few sword projections.

Swish---

Two ghastly bloody wounds were cross-carved on her chest.

Just when Pei Lianxue was about to finish her off, Xue'e, who was driving the black python to fight Feng Yu Die and the Holy Emperor's dragon body, shouted, "Mingxin!! It's done!!"

Hearing this, Gu Mingxin's eyes turned to Ye Anping's face. "Master Liang, I'll remember you!!"

"..."

At this, Ye Anping immediately grabbed his sister who was in front of him by the back of her collar, and jumped back.

"Hey?!"

"Sister, let's go!!"

The moment Ye Anping jumped away with Pei Lianxue, the black python that was originally fighting with the Holy Emperor's dragon body suddenly opened its big mouth downwards, swallowing Gu Mingxin and twenty feet of the ground around her. Then, it wriggled along the street, fleeing fast toward the east gate of Heavenly Gate City.

Above the clouds, the thunder continued, and many Justice Division officers spared no effort to summon spells and hit its scales. Although they could hurt the giant python, they were completely unable to stop it.

Feng Yu Die also grabbed the python's tail and poked at its scales with her sword for a while, but unfortunately, it was too big for her to do anything about it.

In the end, Ye Anping called her back. "Sister Feng!"

Only then did she jump down from the back of the black python, flinging aside the snake's blood that covered her sword.

"Tch--"

Not long after, a loud "Boom..." could be heard as the black python smashed through the eastern gate with its head and slipped into the forested mountain, disappearing.

Looking at this scene, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief. "Trying to stop it forcefully is counterproductive, forget it..."

Then, he walked over to Liang Zhu and glanced at the Division officers around. "Brother Liang, ask your people to search the woods. Although they probably won't be able to find her, they can keep her under pressure for a while."

Liang Zhu glanced at the city gates that had been smashed open in the distance. With a sigh, he raised and spun his hand around. "Gather the teams!!"

After arranging this, Ye Anping looked at Xiao Yunluo, who was now passed out in the middle of the street, and felt quite sorry in his heart.

He originally wanted Si Xuanji to deal with Xu Mo's bomb, but she didn't come, so he had no choice but to borrow the protection spell that Si Xuanji had placed on Xiao Yunluo.

Ye Anping walked over, knelt, and picked up Xiao Yunluo from the ground. After calling out to Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue, he started walking along the street toward the Western District.
