The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 383 - Li Longling Splits The Heaven!

"Longling, the Hedonistic sect's bewitching technique transforms the caster into the most trusted person of the bewitched person. If it is a parent, then it might transform into their children. In your case, you will most likely see your father."

Li Longling leaned into his arms and tapped her lips. "Then, as long as you keep in mind that he's fake, you won't fall for it, right?"

"That is true, but it's only a possibility among others. It sounds easy to understand, but it's hard to do it. When you meet her, don't hesitate. I don't need you to beat her, just help me stall her..."

"I understand..."

"Also, Lu Meimei's spiritual weapon is a long whip that has a fifteen-foot range. You are not a Sword cultivator or a Physical cultivator, so don't engage in hand-to-hand combat with her."

...

The words Ye Anping had told her that night at the Wanderer's House as she leaned on his chest, instantly replayed in Li Longling's mind.

Li Longling looked at 'Ye Anping' with the Fire Phoenix's eyes, slightly pursing her lips. She hadn't realized that Ye Anping had long surpassed her father in her heart.

So much so that even a Charm cultivator would take Ye Anping's appearance, voice, and smell...

After sticking the two fire talismans hidden in her sleeves on his face, Li Longling quickly jumped back and formed the sword finger with her small hand in front of her chest. "Activate!"

At this command, the yellow talismans pasted on Ye Anping's cheeks instantly revealed a fiery red spiritual light.

Boom---

The flames ignited by the two talismans suddenly filled up the entire half-sealed cave, gushing out from the mouth of the cave like a fire dragon erupting from a volcano.

However, in the next moment, an ice-blue spiritual light flashed, clearing away all the smoke and dust in the cave.

'Ye Anping' stood at the entrance of the cave with half of his face turned into a bloodied skull with skin and flesh hanging and two rows of teeth exposed.

He covered his face with his left hand in pain while holding a Black Ice Spirit Sword in his right hand. Looking at Li Longling, who was quickly pulling away from him, his eyes showed a trace of innocence.

"Longling, it's really me... It hurts... Lu Meimei hasn't come yet. Longling, you've been bewitched!! Wake up!! It's me... your Anping!!"

Painful cries resounded through the cavern.

However, Li Longling showed no mercy at all and only murmured. "Don't hesitate."

Then, she waved her sleeves and threw out several talismans again, shooting them at the man whom she trusted the most, leaving a series of fiery red trails in the air.

Seeing that Li Longling was still unaffected, Lu Meimei could not wait any longer.

Every talisman this girl used was a high-grade talisman, close to the level of spiritual treasures. Each attack was equivalent to a full-power attack from a false Core Formation cultivator.

Perhaps it wasn't much of a threat to Dharma cultivators, Sword cultivators, and Physical cultivators at her mid-stage Core Formation level.

But she was a Charm cultivator from the Hedonistic Sect!

Charm cultivators were good at bewitching, sowing discord, gathering intelligence, and confusing the enemy's mind to make them fight among themselves in a chaotic battle.

Fighting people one-on-one was not their forte.

If her reaction had been slower and she hadn't been able to protect her body with spiritual energy, the two talismans that this bastard had stuck on her face would have destroyed her delicate skin.

Lu Meimei was very clear that she was completely inferior to Sword, Physical, and Dharma cultivators of the same level in terms of both her physique abilities and the amount of energy in her golden core.

But!

That only applied to those of the same level.

The stinky girl in front of her was just in the middle stage of the Foundation Building!

Lu Meimei's seductive fox eyes snapped wide as she gritted her teeth and drew out a long silver-colored whip with countless barbs from her storage bag. "You stinky girl! If you don't accept the easy way, watch how I'll force you!"

She leaned over and flicked the long cone tip of the whip, turning it into an arrow that pierced through the air and shot toward Li Longling's throat.

However, Li Longling, who had calculated the distance and jumped back, landed on her toes and stood there with her hand placed as a sword finger in front of her chest.

"Activate!"

The talisman she threw just now exploded into flames that enveloped Lu Meimei, who was standing in place. The whip Meimei had launched stopped five inches in front of Li Longling's neck.

"Exactly fifteen feet... Anping was right."

Muttering to herself, Li Longling conjured again a few talismans from her sleeve and condensed her spiritual energy on their patterns.

However, Lu Meimei, on the other hand, used her spiritual energy to protect her body. With her Core Formation stage cultivation, she resisted the fire wall formed by those talismans. She took a step forward and flicked her wrist forcefully.

The whip that stopped in front of Li Longling's neck also resumed its forward thrust.

Li Longling had no choice but to put aside the talisman in her hand temporarily and turn her head to dodge.

Swish---

The silver whip cut off the loose hair behind her ear. Seeing this scene, Lu Meimei smiled slightly and twisted her wrist.

The silver whip that had originally passed by Li Longling's ear turned into a U-shaped arc in mid-air. It went from behind her to her right shoulder, where the phoenix sat, intending to give it a pass through its stomach.

The Fire Phoenix reacted very quickly and turned its head, seeing the whip coming from behind. Li Longling calmly placed a lightning talisman on the whip that had almost reached the side of her cheek and crouched at the same time.

Zap---

The Lightning talisman exploded with white light and transformed into an electric snake, following Lu Meimei's whip as an electrical conductor and quickly spreading to her right hand.

Lu Meimei also reacted very quickly and threw the silver whip on the ground.

When it hit the floor of the cave, the lightning snake coiled around the whip was instantly drawn into the ground, breaking countless lava spatters onto the rubble.

Boom---

Meanwhile, Li Longling took the opportunity to jump ten feet in another direction.

Lu Meimei didn't chase after her. Instead, she quickly retracted the whip thrown by her side and looked at Li Longling, who was now leaning against the wall of the cave, with her charming fox eyes.

"Heh..."

After a cold laugh.

Swish---

There was the sound of clothes tearing, and a large hole appeared on Li Longling's left sleeve, revealing a terrifying bleeding wound on her bare left shoulder.

On the other hand, although Lu Meimei had received so many talismans from Li Longling, she only had some holes in her clothes and burns on her cheeks.

Even with so many high-grade talismans, it was definitely not easy for a Foundation Building cultivator to break through the protective spiritual shield of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

But a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, even with a casual whip, could cause deep bone cracks to a Foundation Building cultivator.

Lu Meimei looked at Li Longling who was leaning against the rock wall and smiled. "This is the first time I've seen a blind cultivator like you with such insight and reaction speed. If you had dodged any later, you would have lost your left arm."

"..."

Lu Meimei's gaze shifted to the phoenix on Li Longling's right shoulder.

"If I'm not mistaken, you rely on this stinky bird to see things, right?"

Li Longling put her hands behind her back and frowned as she replied, "No comment."

"What an unpleasant girl." Lu Meimei smiled as she spread her hands. "You called me "Anping" just now. Is that person your cultivation partner?"

"..."

"I promise you, after I remove both of your arms, I will find your cultivation partner and have some fun with him!!!"

As she roared, the long whip in Lu Meimei's right hand danced wildly.

Birds had the strongest vision among all living creatures. In their eyes, even arrows were as slow as caterpillars.

And Li Longling relied on the Fire Phoenix's excellent vision to capture Lu Meimei's hand movements and predict the trajectory of her whip.

She bit her lips slightly, looked at the long whip swinging toward her shoulder, and used her left hand to stick the talisman in the whip's way.

Ding---

The collision between the paper and the barbed whip actually produced a sharp sound of striking iron.

Lu Meimei was surprised when she saw that this girl used a Vajra talisman to stop her whip. Her reaction speed and control of talismans far exceeded that of ordinary Foundation Building Dharma cultivators.

At least in her memory, there were not many Dharma cultivators who could do this.

She had to stick the Vajra talisman on her whip the moment the whip was about to land on her body. At the same time, she had to activate the talisman with her spiritual energy. If the timing was not right, even a second earlier or later, both the talisman and the fingers would be cut into two by her whip.

"..."

Lu Meimei was surprised by Li Longling's move, but to put it bluntly, it was just a flashy little trick.

So what if she blocked her whip with a talisman?

A mere mid-stage Foundation Building cultivator, even if she stood there and let this girl hit her, she might not be able to hurt her core.

Ding---

The moment the whip was deflected by the talisman, Lu Meimei turned around and continued to swing it.

Ding---

Ding Ding---

Each time, Li Longling blocked it, holding the talisman with her fingers.

The wind stirred by the whip rang in the cave, and the rock wall beside Li Longling and behind her would produce sparks and dents with every sound of iron striking.

Lu Meimei calmly looked at Li Longling who was leaning against the wall. "It's pretty impressive, but..."

Swoosh---

As Lu Meimei said this, her eyes that were staring at Li Longling's face suddenly turned to the Fire Phoenix on her right shoulder, while the right hand that was flinging the long whip suddenly faltered in its movements.

Seeing this through the Fire Phoenix's eyes, Li Longling bit her lips and quickly raised a Vajra talisman, but probably because of the sudden change in rhythm...

Swish--- Ding---

"Yiii---!"

Fiery red feathers scattered around.

With a hiss, the sharp tip of the whip in Lu Meimei's hand pierced through the Fire Phoenix's chest, pinning it from her shoulder to the rock wall behind her.

Li Longling's vision reflected her back before slowly dimming and finally turning dark.

Whoosh---

The sound of air breaking rang in her ears, and she hurriedly stuck the Vajra talisman on her left arm. However, in the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, and her feet left the ground.

Boom---

Her right shoulder seemed to have hit the rock wall...

She had been thrown away. Li Longling, who relied on her hearing to determine the direction, confirmed that Lu Meimei's location deviated by about thirty degrees. In other words, she was whipped away about twelve feet.

"Can't see now, can you?"

A mocking voice came from a distance. Li Longling bit her lip and roughly calculated an inaccurate map in her mind. Lu Meimei was on her right, about fifteen feet away.

"Anping..."

"Hmm? You want your cultivation partner to save you now?"

Lu Meimei listened to her muttering and retracted the whip that had immobilized the phoenix. She smiled and said, "Say, can you still cry if you are blind? Come on, cry! Sister likes to comfort people. Tell me, how many people came here? What did that partner of yours do?"

Li Longling replied calmly, "He went to kill a demonic cultivator named Wu Tianci."

"Hmm? Brother Wu? He's not easy to deal with. Brother Wu is one of the top Core Formation stage Physical cultivators in the Heavenly Demon Sect. It seems that I won't be able to keep your companion alive to eat your flesh with me."

"You won't eat it either..."

Li Longling relied on her senses to face Lu Meimei who was walking toward her, then raised her sword finger from behind.

The Fire Phoenix, which only had one breath left, struggled to spread its wings.

Kyiii--!!

The sharp cry of the phoenix, imbued with spiritual energy, reflected several times in the already semi-enclosed cave, shaking the ceiling and causing cracks to appear on the rock surface.

Lu Meimei couldn't help but cover her ears and turned to look at Fire Phoenix with a shocked expression. Li Longling, who was sitting on the ground, had blood oozing out of her ears.

Boom---

The two fire talismans that Li Longling had set up at the entrance of the cave exploded in an instant, blasting out countless debris and blocking the entrance. At the same time, a large amount of smoke was raised, turning the entire cave into a dark secret room.

When Li Longling heard the noise, she quickly got up and fled to the other side.

Lu Meimei, who had lost her vision, heard her and immediately lashed out with the whip.

Bang---

The sound of rock walls cracking.

The long whip fell short.

Lu Meimei frowned slightly, disdaining Li Longling's tricks. She could guess that she wanted to block her vision and hearing.

But even so, what could she do?

A Dharma cultivator with only talismans could not break her protective spiritual power, and she could also use her spiritual sense to find Li Longling's position.

"You stupid girl... What other tricks do you have?"

Lu Meimei raised her eyebrows and released her spiritual sense to detect Li Longling's position, only to find that she was standing three feet behind her.

She didn't want to play with Li Longling anymore, so she turned around and swung the whip with all her strength, intending to split the blind girl in half from the forehead.

Whoosh---

The iron whip was like a silver line, swinging vertically toward the position where she sensed Li Longling was.

But...

Ding---

The sparks from the collision lit up the pitch-black cave for a moment.

Lu Meimei thought this girl was lucky and used the Vajra Talisman to block her iron whip. However, this brief flash illuminated a dark blue sword blade that looked like clear water.

Li Longling relied on her senses to block the whip falling on her head with her spirit sword. Then, she bent over and stepped forward, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands.

Swish---

A faint blue glow flashed.

Lu Meimei felt a sharp pain in her chest as if she had eaten something bad, and something in her stomach was coming up to her mouth.

She gritted her teeth and swung the whip immediately.

Whoosh---

Swish---

Li Longling felt that her left shoulder was half pierced by something, but she did not hesitate. With the hilt of the sword in her hand, she gritted her teeth and slashed hard.

She then wielded the sword according to the sword technique her father had taught her.

She couldn't see Lu Meimei's position and couldn't hear anything at the moment, but the sword in her hand felt like it was cutting flesh.

Swish---

"You!!! Uh---"

Swish---

"Where did you get the sword?! This sword... ah..."

Swish---

"You blind girl, aaargh---! What is this sword?"

There were sounds of flesh-piercing, accompanied by some unclear shouts.

She knew what Lu Meimei seemed to be saying, but she couldn't hear it.

With the last move of the sword sequence, the spirit sword in Li Longling's hand passed through Lu Meimei's neck, and she finally responded. "This sword is called Heaven Splitting Sword. It is the spiritual sword that my father, Li Feng, left for the future Master of the Dragon House!"

As the words fell, the blade also cut across Lu Meimei's neck, and Li Longling no longer had the strength to grasp the hilt.

The Heaven Splitting Sword flew out of her hand and stuck into the rock wall.

The next moment---

Thud---

Li Longling fell forward and felt that she was leaning on something soft.

Feeling that this soft thing was getting colder, she felt relieved and relaxed. "Anping... I told you, I'm not a decoration, hehe..."
