The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

"I wonder if Miss Gu still remembers me, Liang Liu."

The cold voice reached Gu Mingxin's ears. Although still confused, she felt relieved.

Gu Mingxin could see that Ye Anping did not intend to sell her to the Ghost Spirit Sect. It should be some plan of his, and he wanted her to cooperate with him. After a moment of silence, she asked, "Who are you?"

"The Elder of the Prison Hall of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Liang Liu."

"Puff..."

Gu Mingxin seemed unable to hold back. When she heard the name, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, but then she showed an apologetic look.

Ye Anping twitched his mouth slightly, indicating that she should be serious.

Chen Rugu was obviously still a little wary of him. At this moment, she stayed below and had no intention of approaching. Moreover, she was a Ghost cultivator, so Ye Anping estimated that he only had one chance.

In other words, if he couldn't cut off Chen Rugu's Nascent Soul with one strike, Chen Rugu would be able to leave this place with Kong Huayuan immediately after she realized what happened.

"Miss Gu, the order I received specifies no matter if you're dead or alive. Do you want to surrender, or..."

Swoosh—

A silver light flew out of the storage bag and turned into a silver spirit sword that landed in Ye Anping's right hand.

Gu Mingxin was taken aback. She didn't understand whether she should surrender or resist. However, Xue'e who was floating above her head, thought for a moment and realized. "Mingxin, Ye Anping knows that you are not the kind of person to admit defeat, so he probably wants you to fight him..."

"...Right."

Gu Mingxin nodded in understanding. She blinked her red eyes full of love and slightly raised the sword in her right hand.

Clang—

The shrill sound of the sword rang in the air, and Gu Mingxin turned into a red light, crossed a distance of a hundred feet in a breath, and arrived in front of Ye Anping.

The bloody demonic spirit spread out around her body as her sword split the air, swinging straight toward Ye Anping's neck.

Ye Anping's expression froze, and he raised Bai Yue to block it. When he blocked Gu Mingxin's sword, he felt that his arm was bearing a force of ten thousand pounds, and he was slightly shocked.

"Tsk..."

Is she really trying to chop me off?

Ye Anping complained in his heart, but he didn't stand there. He raised his foot and kicked her abdomen hard, intending to force her back, then shouted, "Elder Chen!!"

Chen Rugu, who was below, saw the two people's back-and-forth confrontation. She took out an incense burner from her sleeve and sent her demonic spirit into it.

Bloody energy spread out from the censer and instantly condensed into several huge skulls, opening and closing their jaws and heading toward Gu Mingxin who had been kicked away.

Ye Anping took the opportunity to quickly descend and landed behind Chen Rugu.

"Elder Chen, help me stall her for five breaths…"

"Okay."

Chen Rugu glanced at Ye Anping who was standing behind her, and she saw him take out a magical tool that looked quite unusual from his storage bag. She thought that he was probably going to use some kind of mysterious treasure.

At the same time, a blood-colored half-moon sword energy shot down from above, directly cutting off the head of the ghost she had just summoned with the incense burner, as well as the surrounding rock walls.

Chen Rugu immediately waved her hand and condensed a spiritual shield wrapping herself and Ye Anping in it.

Bang—

The blood-colored sword energy hit the spiritual shield, causing the surrounding rocks to shatter.

Gu Mingxin looked at the two people, her red eyes widening slightly. She turned into a spiritual light, rushed straight toward Chen Rugu, and this time, smashed her blood-colored sword on top of her protective shield.

Dong dong—

The muffled sounds made Chen Rugu break out in a cold sweat.

She had heard of Gu Mingxin's ability, but before this, she had never witnessed it.

After having a taste of her blood sword, Chen Rugu could not help but marvel in her heart about how formidable the youngsters were. Gu Mingxin had only just formed her Nascent Soul, but every swing of her sword could actually leave a crack in her protective spiritual shield.

Ding ding ding—

The blood sword in Gu Mingxin's hand never stopped, and bloody sword lights flashed around her body.

Chen Rugu felt that she could not bear it any longer, so she glared at Ye Anping behind her and said, "Elder Liang, five breaths have passed..."

"Alright."

Ye Anping replied with a smile. He raised Bai Yue and waved a cross before suddenly stabbing her in the back.

Swish—

Chen Rugu only felt a sharp pain in her back, and the silver sword pierced through her chest, stained with blood.

"Cough..."

Gritting her teeth, she looked at Ye Anping behind her. Because of the mask, she couldn't see his expression clearly, but she immediately realized what happened.

"Elder Liang? You really..."

Ye Anping didn't give her a chance to speak. He withdrew Bai Yue and raised his hand to swing it again.

At the same time, there was a crash.

Gu Mingxin broke Chen Rugu's protecting spiritual shield and, cooperating with Ye Anping, she chopped down vertically with her blood-colored sword.

Shua—

The sound of a sword piercing the flesh was heard, and Chen Rugu's head, along with the severed hair, flew into the air and was then split vertically in half by Gu Mingxin's blood-red sword.

Ye Anping and Gu Mingxin smashed Chen Rugu's head in tandem, but the swords in their hands did not stop.

Ye Anping shouted. "Keep going!! Don't stop!"

Swish, swish, swish—

Two spiritual swords, one silver and one red, kept slashing Chen Rugu's headless body. Gu Mingxin and Ye Anping seemed to be coordinating with each other's swords. Although the sword shadows were so fast that they were hard to keep up with, they never collided with each other.

Pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere, but they were shielded by their protective spiritual energy.

In just ten breaths, Chen Rugu's body had been cut into flying shreds by their swords.

Ye Anping immediately took out a stack of fire talismans from his storage bag, ready to ignite all the shredded flesh, but unexpectedly, the moment he pulled out the talismans, a blood-colored spiritual blob of energy flew up from the minced meat.

"Heh, luckily I was prepared. You can have this body..."

Chen Rugu seized the opportunity when Ye Anping drew out the talismans, and her Nascent Soul soul left her body in an instant, escaping toward the horizon at a high speed.

Watching Chen Rugu's soul fleeing, Ye Anping clicked his tongue slightly. He expected that Chen Rugu would not be so easy to kill, but he didn't expect that after being chopped into pieces by him and Gu Mingxin, her soul could still escape.

"Xiao Tian."

Ye Anping whispered softly, and a golden light flew out from his forehead. Then, she grabbed the stack of fire talismans and rushed after Chen Rugu who was fleeing into the sky.

"Whoa!!!"

"Huh?"

Xue'e, who floated above Gu Mingxin's head, was confused to see Xiao Tian flying up with a stack of talismans in her arms.

Chen Rugu, whose soul had already flown to a height of a hundred feet, turned to look at Ye Anping throwing a stack of fire talismans at her, and snorted in disdain.

"Talismans? Ha..."

She focused her energy, and countless blood-colored spiritual lights condensed around her body in an instant, shooting toward the stack of talismans flying toward her from below, as if she was preparing to ignite all of them before they stuck to her soul.

But in the next moment, the stack of talismans seemed to come to life as it suddenly turned in the air, dodging all of her ghostly spells.

"?"

Chen Rugu was a little confused. She had lived for so many years, and she had never seen a talisman that could fly so nimbly. However, she didn't freeze when she saw the stack of talismans chasing after her. She immediately turned around, continued to flee toward the sky, and kept trying to shoot it down with spells.

But the stack of talismans chasing after her was like a mosquito that had practiced for hundreds of years. It avoided her spells one by one with various clever trajectories, chased her butt relentlessly and bit her.

"Hiss—"

Chen Rugu was a little panicked now. Although Ghost cultivators were not afraid of their bodies being cut into pieces, they were still vulnerable after leaving their bodies.

With this bunch of talismans stuck to her body, at least half of her Nascent Soul would be blown up.

However, no matter how she circled in the air, the stack of talismans would always bite her behind.

Xiao Tian frowned while holding the talismans, and seeing that she had arrived at Chen Rugu's side, she shouted, "Waaah—!!"

Then, she rushed directly into Chen Rugu's soul, simultaneously sending her spiritual energy into the stack of talismans.

Boom—

A ray of white light illuminated the night sky and the stars. With an explosion, a ball of fire that rivaled the sun appeared above the valley.

Ye Anping looked at the ball of fire in the sky. After confirming that Chen Rugu's Nascent Soul had been turned into ashes by the stack of high-level talismans that he had prepared at great expense, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head to look at Gu Mingxin who was standing beside him.

"Huh..." Ye Anping exhaled lightly and grabbed the mask on his face, pulling it off. Seeing that Gu Mingxin had also formed her Nascent Soul, he said, "Sister Gu, congratulations on forming your Nascent Soul."

Gu Mingxin looked at Ye Anping as she silently put her blood-colored sword back into her soul realm. She walked in front of him step by step, puffed up her cheeks, and complained, "Ye Anping, you are so bad."

"Heh..." Ye Anping smiled, then saw Gu Mingxin slightly moistening her lips with her tongue, and he narrowed his eyes, increasing his vigilance. Just as he thought, in the next second, Gu Mingxin suddenly took a step closer and put her mouth directly to his face.

Last time in the Bright Star Sect, he didn't react, but this time he had expected it, so he grabbed her face directly.

"Hey?"

"I won't fall in the same place twice."

Gu Mingxin smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. "Tsk—"

Ye Anping didn't care too much. He turned around and looked at the light column that was maintaining the formation above the valley. He had asked Feng Yu Die to follow Kong Huayuan and find an opportunity to destroy his Nascent Soul with one blow while he was setting up the formation.

Just as he was wondering why the formation in the valley was still active, the light column that maintained it suddenly dissipated.

Feng Yu Die used her spiritual power to support Kong Huayuan, who was beheaded by her sword and came toward him on her flying sword.

When she saw Gu Mingxin who was now staying beside Ye Anping, Feng Yu Die's golden eyes under the mask flashed with hostility.

However, because Ye Anping had told her not to argue with her after they met, she did not react. She flew to Ye Anping's side and threw Kong Huayuan's body and head to the ground.

"Master Ye, I've got it done."

"Uhm..."

Ye Anping nodded, glanced at the head that now had an expression of "Why am I dead?", and sighed slightly. He then squatted down and picked up Kong Huayuan's storage bag, reaching in to check its contents one by one.

Gu Mingxin and Feng Yu Die did not disturb him and just stood aside silently.

Feng Yu Die looked at Gu Mingxin warily, while Gu Mingxin looked at Feng Yu Die nonchalantly.

At the point where their eyes met, sparks seemed to burst out.

Ye Anping checked Kong Huayuan's storage bag for a while. Xiao Tian, who had just exploded with the stack of talismans, also floated down. Seeing that Xue'e was standing on Gu Mingxin's head with her arms crossed, she also landed on Feng Yu Die's head and crossed her arms too.

Xue'e glanced at her. Noticing the sword mark on her left eye, she frowned. "Golden fool, what's that on your eye? Did you cut yourself?"

"Hmph! What does that have to do with you, black bastard?!"

"Tsk..." Xue'e clicked her tongue slightly. She didn't know why, but although Xiao Tian didn't have any intention of fighting, she felt inexplicably irritated looking at her. Her hand unconsciously touched the sword hilt behind her.

"..."

Seeing Xue'e touching the hilt, Xiao Tian clenched her fists, and they stared at each other vigilantly.

After checking all the things in Kong Huayuan's storage bag, Ye Anping looked back at the two girls, one white and one black, and their respective Scroll spirits, who were staring each other down, and he felt a little tired.

He felt that if he left now, they would probably start to fight here right away.

"Sister Gu."

Hearing Ye Anping call her, Gu Mingxin retracted her gaze. Her eyes lit up as she quickly walked to Ye Anping's side. "Ye Anping, what do you want me to do?"

"Help me peel off this man's face and make a human skin mask."

"You really know how to order people around..." Gu Mingxin twitched at Kong Huayuan's expression of "Why am I dead?", and she asked, "Is this man the son of the Ghost Spirit Sect Great Elder? I remember him..."

"Yeah."

"Making a human skin mask can only deceive low-level cultivators at most, but Kong Xiangmo will see through it at a glance."

"I know."

Ye Anping nodded. He threw Kong Huayuan's head into Gu Mingxin's hand, then wrapped Kong Huayuan's body with a shroud and lifted it on his shoulders. "Let's go back to Song Dragon Town. Sister Gu, I have something to tell you."

"Okay~"
