The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix – Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Xiao Tian, Are You Trying to Steal My House?!

*Swoosh—*

A sword shadow flashed.

Feng Yu Die’s sword sliced into her from her right neck and out her left waist, bisecting her upper body.

Scalding blood splattered out, crossing directly in front of Wu Yue’s eyes, causing her pupils to contract.

She couldn’t understand why her identity had been exposed.

Even more so, she couldn’t fathom why the silver-haired girl’s sword could treat her skeletal body like mud.

She was a cultivator at the Core Formation Stage!

Even if she hadn’t reacted in the first instant, it was impossible for a cultivator at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage to cleave her upper body in two with a single sword strike.

“Ah—!!”

Wu Yue roared, mobilizing her entire Spiritual Sense, her thoughts accelerating rapidly to the point where the veins on her forehead bulged.

Spiritual Energy dispersed from her chest.

Time stretched out several dozen times within Wu Yue’s consciousness.

The colors of all things faded in that instant, and the column of blood splashing in mid-air stopped falling.

However, even so, the movements of Feng Yu Die in her eyes did not slow down.

Wu Yue was terrified. Without a doubt, the girl at the Early Foundation Establishment Stage before her moved so fast that even with all her Spiritual Sense, she couldn’t capture her movements.

Feng Yu Die twisted her body and swung her sword again. The sword’s edge passed directly through the column of blood from the first strike, flashing across the sword light of the previous blow. This time, it sliced into Wu Yue’s left neck and out her right waist.

*Swoosh—*

Wu Yue’s upper body was directly divided into four by these two sword strikes.

“Ah—”

A mournful cry rang out, accompanied by two sword lights that streaked past. Wu Yue’s entire body was shattered, her upper body swept out of the pavilion by the sword wind.

Ye Anping, along with Li Longling, also fled from the pavilion.

*Boom—*

Just as they ran out of the pavilion, a loud noise erupted behind them. The entire pavilion collapsed, burying the figures of Wu Yue and Feng Yu Die beneath it.

Dust scattered at the edge of the lake.

Ye Anping glanced at the pavilion, his right arm around Li Longling’s waist, his left hand forming a Sword Finger at his brow, preparing to activate a formation.

Feng Yu Die’s Nine Heavens Sword Art was enough to break through Wu Yue’s Spirit Taming and heavily injure her body.

However, even if Feng Yu Die chopped Wu Yue into mincemeat, she absolutely wouldn’t be able to kill her.

For demonic cultivators who practiced the Ghost path, the body was merely a vessel that could be replaced at will.

They were a group of people who had mastered the art of possession to its extreme.

In the Chi Long Mansion dungeon in the game, Wu Yue was also the only “mechanic boss” among the five demonic cultivators.

No matter how many times her HP bar was cleared, as long as there was still a living cultivator in the player team, Wu Yue’s Spirit could forcibly possess that person and revive by taking over their body.

This was a very tyrannical cultivation method, so much so that it seemed to have no weaknesses.

Ordinary Immortal Family cultivators could only wear down ghost cultivators, seeing whose Spiritual Sense would be depleted first, or if the opponent’s Spiritual Sense would be depleted first.

But since it was a mechanic, as long as one knew the specific method, it would be easier to deal with.

—Wu Yue was particularly afraid of cold poison.

However, before that, he had to cut off Wu Yue’s escape route.

Ye Anping’s left hand formed a Sword Finger at his chest, channeling Spiritual Energy from the soles of his feet into the ground.

“Rise!”

The five formation flags he had previously placed around the lake were activated in order from south to north.

Five-colored pillars of light shot into the sky, and a vast light screen spread out into a hemisphere, completely covering a mile around him.

Just as the formation took shape, Li Longling, whose waist was held by his right arm, seemed to have regained consciousness. Without a word, she clenched her fists and swung them towards his face.

*Whoosh—*

Ye Anping glanced at her, dodged by turning his head, and with a flick of his left finger, sent a black pill into her mouth.

“Ah… cough cough—”

Li Longling choked on the pill, clutching her throat and coughing violently.

The next moment, Ye Anping struck her with the side of his hand on the back of her neck. While knocking her unconscious, he also pushed the pill that was stuck at the opening of her trachea into her stomach.

Li Longling fell straight forward. Ye Anping cushioned her fall with his right arm around her abdomen before gently laying her flat on the ground.

At the same time, two shadows, one black and one white, rushed out from under the collapsed pavilion.

Wu Yue had now abandoned her physical body, her Spirit leaving her form. She appeared as a human-shaped black mist and hovered in the air.

Feng Yu Die raised her sword and pursued, striking again. However, the sword passed directly through Wu Yue’s body as if she were merely an illusion.

Feng Yu Die couldn’t touch Wu Yue, but Wu Yue could touch her. She lifted her leg and charged with her knee towards Feng Yu Die’s abdomen, forcing Feng Yu Die to block with her Spirit Sword.

*Boom—*

“Ouch!!”

The strength of a Core Formation Stage cultivator was truly immense. Feng Yu Die couldn’t fully absorb the force of the knee strike and was sent flying backward by Wu Yue like a cannonball, hurtling towards Ye Anping.

Seeing this, Ye Anping quickly sidestepped and dodged as Feng Yu Die whizzed past him and crashed into a rockery behind him.

“Huff… huff—”

Wu Yue hovered in the air, panting and looking at the formation lights around her. She immediately recognized it as a formation meant to trap her here, and her eyes widened in anger as she glared at Ye Anping.

“With just the two of you Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators…”

Ye Anping raised his right hand and subtly hooked his little finger:

“Come on!”

Wu Yue’s teeth nearly shattered. An Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator was actually provoking her by hooking his finger.

“How dare you!!”

Her shout echoed through the forest. Wu Yue instantly turned into a black shadow, forming a claw with her hand, and charged at Ye Anping as if to rip out his heart. However, Ye Anping didn’t even flinch.

Just as her claw was about to touch Ye Anping’s chest, a black shadow flashed out from the nearby woods.

*Swoosh—*

An ice-blue light flashed, then split into six, forming a grid of sword Qi that directly bisected Wu Yue.

Pei Lianxue, holding her Spirit Sword, came before Ye Anping. After one strike, she placed her left hand as a Sword Finger at her chest, releasing Spiritual Energy.

A frost spread from where her toes touched the ground outwards.

Wherever the Spiritual Energy passed, the grass and soil instantly became coated in frost.

“Extreme Yin Spiritual Energy?” Wu Yue’s eyes widened. She quickly retreated, but after a few feet, she quickly calmed down. “You little girl…”

An Extreme Yin Spiritual Root?

Wu Yue’s eyes widened, but soon a hint of glee appeared in her eyes. She felt her luck was truly good to have encountered someone here who was suspected of being a pure water spiritual root, a type that only existed in legends.

“Heh… coming to my doorstep, I shall accept it.”

Wu Yue flicked her wrist, and her form instantly shrank to the size of a pill. She transformed into a black mist and drilled directly into Pei Lianxue’s brow.

Stunned by the impact, Pei Lianxue took a step back but was supported by Ye Anping.

“Focus.”

“Okay.”

Pei Lianxue nodded and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, focusing her mind and circulating her energy.

“Ah—!!”

A moment later, with a scream, Wu Yue’s Spirit emerged from Pei Lianxue’s body.

“You little girl consumed so much cold poison?! Aren’t you afraid of dying?!”

Wu Yue looked at Pei Lianxue in disbelief. She had just invaded Pei Lianxue’s Spirit Realm and was about to possess her when she discovered that her entire body’s meridians were filled with poisonous spiritual energy.

Hearing this, Ye Anping smiled. When he arrived, he and Pei Lianxue had consumed a whole bottle of poison pills.

Now, to Wu Yue, he and Pei Lianxue were like two sea urchins. If she tried to forcibly possess them, she would be poisoned and her Spirit would be destroyed.

“Did the specially prepared Soul Severing Pills taste good?”

“…”

Wu Yue glared fiercely at Ye Anping, finding the two of them incomprehensible.

But she didn’t have much time to waste with Ye Anping.

Once her Spirit left her body, her soul power would continuously deplete. She had just encountered the Extreme Yin Spiritual Energy of this girl, and now, attempting to possess her, she had also become infected with the cold poison of the Soul Severing Grass.

If she didn’t find a body to possess soon, she would likely dissipate completely within the hour.

The next moment, Wu Yue’s gaze fell upon Li Longling, who was lying on the ground by Ye Anping’s feet.

As she was about to attempt to possess Li Longling, Ye Anping interjected:

“Senior, I also fed her Soul Severing Pills just now. Are you sure you want to possess her?”

“…You!”

Wu Yue frowned and glared at him, finally shifting her gaze to Feng Yu Die, who was currently trying to extract herself from the rock.

Ye Anping noticed her looking at Feng Yu Die and immediately put on a surprised expression. He quickly took out a sword from his Storage Bag and rushed forward.

“Don’t you dare!!”

“Heh!!”

Wu Yue’s lips curled into a slight smile. She easily dodged Ye Anping’s sword strike, kicked him away, and then rapidly charged towards Feng Yu Die.

Feng Yu Die’s right hand was still stuck in the rock, and she was desperately trying to pull it free. Suddenly, she heard Xiao Tian’s reminder:

“Yu Die! She’s charging!”

“Huh?!”

Feng Yu Die turned her head and saw Wu Yue charging rapidly towards her. She hastily raised her sword to block.

However, Wu Yue passed directly through her sword and into her brow.

Xiao Tian, who was flying beside her head, saw this and immediately frowned, cursing:

“Hiss—Are you trying to steal my house?!”

Then, Xiao Tian transformed into a golden light and followed Wu Yue into Feng Yu Die’s brow.

With two Spirits suddenly invading her Divine Soul, Feng Yu Die felt as if her head had been struck by a hammer, and her vision blurred.

Ye Anping looked in Feng Yu Die’s direction and shook his head with a sigh:

“Who else would you possess, but her?”

Originally, he had prepared many more methods.

He had borrowed two formations from Liang Zhu. One was to prevent Wu Yue from escaping, and the other was to kill Wu Yue.

In addition, Liang Zhu was currently at a higher level, preparing a formation that required a long casting time, waiting for his signal to strike Wu Yue’s forehead.

But now, it seemed his backup plans were no longer needed.

Ye Anping stretched his shoulders and quickly took out a bottle of pills from his Storage Bag. He took one himself, gave one to Pei Lianxue, walked over to Li Longling, picked her up from the ground, pinched her cheeks, and forced her mouth open.

Seeing this, Pei Lianxue quickly reached out to stop him:

“Let me…”

“It’s okay, she didn’t spit up blood, and there’s no need for artificial respiration.”

Ye Anping held the pill in his right hand and pushed it directly down Li Longling’s throat, forcing it into her esophagus with his finger. Then, he grabbed Li Longling’s shoulder and shook her vigorously.

“There, all done…”

Pei Lianxue stared at him blankly and weakly nodded:

“Oh… that’s good…”
