The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

---Hua Haomiao was a swordmaster of the Seven Mysteries Sect, with a cultivation level at the middle stage of Core Formation.

Wearing a green robe, and wielding a green spiritual sword, he roamed the Northern Region for nearly two hundred years, defeating countless sword cultivators.

Leaving cultivation level aside and just talking about sword tactics, Hua Haomiao boasted that even if he faced the Moon Shadow Sword Sect's Yun Tianchong, the leader of the Four Regions Sword cultivators, he would never be defeated in less than ten moves.

However...

Bam---

The moment Gu Mingxin rushed over, a trace of shock flashed in Hua Haomiao's eyes.

In just this instant, he immediately realized that he was just a small frog at the bottom of the well in the Northern Region, only peeking at the three inches of sky at the mouth of the well and not knowing that dragons and tigers were out there in the world beyond the well.

The speed of the sword was insane. In Hua Haomiao's eyes, it was just a red shadow with trailing light. It was impossible to see the sword path clearly.

Hua Haomiao could only rely on his body's instincts from his years of sword practice and raised his sword to parry.

Ding---

The moment the two blades met, the air suddenly froze.

The snow falling from the sky hovered around the two people.

And then suddenly collapsed.

Boom---

The mighty blood energy was wrapped in the wind and snow, causing the ground under Hua Haomiao's feet to shake and stones to shatter. Then came Gu Mingxin's madman-like roar. "Liang--Xiao--Liu!!! Hyiaaaaa---!!"

The blood-colored sword light scattered out in all directions like a whip.

Hua Haomiao now really wanted to say, "You've mistaken me for someone else!" But he didn't have the slightest chance to speak. Looking at the scattered sword light, he could only grit his teeth and hardly block Gu Mingxin's earth-shattering attack.

Ding-Ding-Ding--

The collision of the two swords stirred up the snow on the ground, wrapping them in it.

The four people outside could only see the flashes of the swords clashing and that chilling bloody aura mixed with the snow.

Not far away, Wu Tianci and Lu Meimei, as well as Black Yang and White Yin, who were sitting in mid-air with their hands on the strings of the zither, seemed to have become spectators of the two swords' fight. Their gazes were glued to the silhouettes flickering in the smoke and dust.

Xue'e, floating above Wu Tianci, was also terrified. She had been following Gu Mingxin since childhood, but it was the first time she saw her roar like this.

Ding Ding---

Swish---

Swish---

Then, out of the smoke and dust came two sounds of piercing flesh, and the street suddenly fell silent.

The snow that enveloped Hua Haomiao and Gu Mingxin slowly fell from midair, and the outlines of the two standing figures slowly emerged.

Wu Tianci frowned slightly. He knew that the winner had been decided. Unlike Dharma practitioners, two sword practitioners with similar levels needed to exchange dozens or even hundreds of blows before the winner could be decided.

For Sword cultivators, one quick move equaled ten slow moves and could make the difference between life and death.

Now, the two figures were still standing in the smoke and dust, and it was hard to tell who won or lost.

The four people were all staring at the two figures, holding their breath and waiting for the outcome.

Hoo hoo---

The cold wind swept the street, making Wu Tianci and the others shiver slightly.

And in the next moment, the slightly shorter figure's left forearm slowly fell to the ground, severed from the elbow.

Wu Tianci's eyes widened, and he finally felt a little afraid.

Lu Meimei was so scared that she covered her mouth. From this scene, it seemed that Gu Mingxin lost, and her left hand was cut off by the green-clad cultivator.

However, the moment the short figure's arm fell to the ground, the slightly taller figure standing opposite her seemed to disintegrate, turning into regular square pieces of flesh and collapsing.

The snow and dust slowly fell to the ground. Gu Mingxin, holding a blood-colored sword, stood hunched beside Hua Haomiao, who had become a corpse. The flesh-colored section of her left stump froze instantly at the contact with the cold air.

Black Yang and White Yin, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, saw Hua Haomiao lose his life in an instant. A hint of surprise flashed in their eyes under their bamboo hats, but they soon came to their senses.

The two of them hastily took some distance, plucked the strings of the zither, and swept forward with force.

An ice-blue spiritual energy transformed into swords, knives, spears, and halberds suspended around them, which then shot toward Gu Mingxin at a high speed.

Wu Tianci finally came to his senses and immediately rushed to Gu Mingxin's side to help her block this unusual treasure.

However--

"Don't get in the way!!!"

Bang---

Gu Mingxin's angry shout stopped Wu Tianci who wanted to help. She raised her sword and swung out several blood-red sword lights, blocking the incoming ice-blue treasure, then looked angrily at Black Yang and White Yin who were floating in the sky, maintaining a safe distance.

After seeing this, Xue'e pointed her sword-fingers at her forehead. She felt that Gu Mingxin could not handle the two strange cultivators by herself, so she wanted to summon the black python to swallow them.

However, before she could call out the black python, she received a glare from Gu Mingxin's red eyes that shone with the color of blood as if she were an evil spirit.

"Ah..."

Xue'e was startled. It was the first time Gu Mingxin had glared so viciously at her, so she hastily lowered her small hand but still said, "Mingxin, better go now!! Here..."

However, before she finished her words, Gu Mingxin raised her sword, stomped on the ground, and leaped up, rushing toward Black Yang and White Yin in the air.

"You're thinking too highly of yourself!"

Seeing the Sword cultivator charging head-on at their mysterious treasure like this, Bai Yin twisted the strings of the zither in his hand and swept it again.

Waves of magic sound spread out in a circle at the strings of the zither.

Gu Mingxin leaped into the air and felt as if a huge force was preventing her from approaching the two people. At the same time, her head hurt so much that it seemed as if it was about to explode.

Gritting her teeth, she stared at the two people in the air, and seeing that she couldn't get close, she pointed the sword in her hand, took back all the spiritual power that protected her body, gathered it on the sword, and then threw it toward those two with force.

Boom---

The blood-red sword was like a crossbow that could break through city walls, drawing blood lines in the air.

White Yin saw this and immediately played the zither, waving his sleeves.

Dong---

A dull bell sounded in the sky.

A spiritual shield enveloped the two brothers, blocking the blood-colored sword an inch in front of them.

The collision between the blood-colored aura of the sword and the icy blue aura of the two created an aurora borealis curtain on the night sky, instantly illuminating the streets of the entire town.

Gu Mingxin landed midway before stepping on the ground and jumping up again. This time, without the obstruction of the strange magic sound, she reached in front of the two people.

She grabbed the blood-colored sword, injected spiritual energy into the hilt again, and pushed the sword to break the spiritual shield of Black Yang and White Yin.

"Hah ah ah--- break for me!!"

With her roar, cracks spread in the glass-like shield, and sizzles resounded to the sky under the pressure of the sword.

White Yin saw that the situation was not good, and cold sweat appeared on his face. He shouted, "Brother!"

However, Black Yang was playing the zither, calmly staring at Gu Mingxin who was glaring at him in turn.

Crash---

The spiritual shield shattered.

The blood-colored spirit sword was fast approaching Black Yang's neck.

However, the next moment, Black Yang grasped the head of the zither.

"You're courting death!"

Ding---

The sword hidden at the head of the zither suddenly came out of its sheath, leaving a sword trail like flowing water and blocking Gu Mingxin's sword.

And then,

Swish---

The white blade went in and came out red on the other side.

A spirit sword, as thin as a finger, pierced through the vital point of Gu Mingxin's heart meridian.

Black Yang's eyes widened slightly. "Hah---"

With a roar, he clamped Gu Mingxin's right wrist which was holding the sword with one hand, and with his other hand, he tried to twist the spirit sword and cut her in two from her chest.

The girl before him now had her right hand clamped, and her left hand had been cut off by Hua Haomiao, so she had no means of counterattack.

In Black Yang's eyes, she was a fish on the board, ready to be slaughtered.

As long as the spiritual power was easily activated and transmitted to her heart through the spirit sword, even if this girl had great abilities, she would definitely die.

He looked at the furious Gu Mingxin, who was glaring at him, and said, "In your next life..."

Before he could finish, Gu Mingxin's clamped right hand turned around and grasped Black Yang's left wrist, then pulled his arm toward her.

Because of this action, the spirit sword that pierced her chest grew several inches behind her.

Swish---

Black Yang didn't know what she was going to do and only felt that she was out of her mind, as that would only make her die faster.

However, the next moment.

Gu Mingxin opened her mouth and bit Black Yang's neck with all her might as if she were a walking corpse.

Clunk---

"Brother!!"

Beside him, White Yin saw this and widened his eyes. He panicked and waved his hand to sweep the strings again.

The ice-blue energy fully hit Gu Mingxin's body, and there was a "crackling" sound of bone breaking.

However, Gu Mingxin was still biting Black Yang's neck like a hungry wolf.

Black Yang looked at the evil eyes that were almost within his reach, and a trace of fear arose in his heart. He immediately understood what she wanted to do, and tried to quickly ask his brother to stop.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Boom---

White Yin spared no effort to sweep away a mighty energy blow, hitting Gu Mingxin's waist and abdomen.

With a sound of tearing flesh, Gu Mingxin used the momentum of White Yin's spiritual energy to tear off a large chunk of flesh from Black Yang's neck before she was violently slammed into the ground.

"Cough--"

Blood gushed out from Black Yang's neck like a waterfall of blood rising amid the night snow.

His younger brother White Yin was terrified. He had no spare energy to pay attention to Gu Mingxin who was knocked to the ground. He immediately took out medicine from the storage bag and wanted to treat his brother's wound.

"Brother!!!"

"Ahem -- Protect... Protect the treasure..." Black Yang looked at him with dilated pupils as he loosened the sword in the zither in his right hand, and he pushed away the medicine he sent over. "Protect... Protect the treasure!"

"Brother!!"

Swish---

Gu Mingxin, who was knocked to the ground by the spiritual energy, stared with bloodshot eyes. She dragged her body that almost didn't look human anymore and jumped close to those two again.

A blood-red sword light swept across the back of the two people's necks.

Two heads flew into the air.

Gu Mingxin as well as the heads and bodies of Black Yang and White Yin's corpses, almost simultaneously, fell from the sky to the ground.

Seeing this, Wu Tianci finally couldn't stand any longer and quickly stepped forward, ready to catch her.

However, Gu Mingxin did not fall to the ground despite her serious injuries. She landed firmly, and while her whole body was bleeding, she looked up to the sky and howled. "Hah ah ah ah--- Liang Xiaoliu Liang Xiaoliu Liang Xiaoliu!!! You are watching, right?!! Hahahaha--- How is it?!! I killed all your people!! Come again!! You can do more than this, right? I haven't killed enough!! Liang Xiaoliu!!!!"

"Mingxin!!" Even Xue'e was frightened when she saw Gu Mingxin's appearance. "Quickly protect your body with spiritual energy and let Miss Lu heal you!! You..."

"Sister Gu..."

"Shut up!!!! All of you shut up!" Gu Mingxin glared at Xue'e and Wu Tianci and scanned the streets, looking for a trace of Liang Xiaoliu. "Hahahaha--- Liang Xiaoliu!!! Don't be so shy!! Can you come out and meet me?! Ahhh---"

The wolf-like howling echoed incessantly among the snow-capped mountains.

There was a loud rumbling, and the snow on the distant mountains suddenly collapsed, turning into an avalanche and pouring down from the mountain.

Wu Tianci looked at Gu Mingxin and murmured. "Liang Xiaoliu..."

At this time, Lu Meimei also ran over, her round breasts shaking. Seeing Gu Mingxin's appearance, she looked around the street and quickly picked up her left arm which was just cut off by Hua Haomiao.

"Sister Gu, come on... I'll help you connect your arm first!!"

Wu Tianci saw Lu Meimei coming, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Miss Lu, take care of Sister Gu. I'll go check around."

"Ah..."

Boom---

With a loud bang, Wu Tianci leaped into the air with the strength of a Physical cultivator, clasped his hands together, and released all his spiritual sense, sweeping over all the cultivators in the town.

This Snow Dragon Town was a small place located in the mountains, and only a few hundred cultivators lived there.

Sweeping with his spiritual sense, he immediately found a Core Formation stage cultivator hiding in a tall building in the east. His eyes suddenly focused, and he used the air as a stepping stone.

Boom---

With a loud sound, he rushed toward the Core Formation cultivator he had sensed.

Gu Mingxin watched Wu Tianci who left through the air, and once again looked around the street, then heard Xue'e say, "Mingxin, don't think about that Liang Xiaoliu! Concentrate your energy to heal your wounds quickly. There's no one around."

"..."

Plop---

After hearing this, Gu Mingxin frowned slightly, as if she was a little dissatisfied. She bit her lips and collapsed straight into Lu Meimei's big watermelons.

"Ah?! Mingxin!! Don't sleep!"

Lu Meimei was also startled and quickly made a sword-like gesture to check Gu Mingxin's condition. She looked around in panic before carrying her to the bodies of Black Yang, White Yin, and the green-clothed swordsman.

And then...

Swish---

She reached into the abdomen of the three people, felt around, and took out three dim golden pills that were already covered with cracks, feeding them to Gu Mingxin.

"What's going on... Sister Gu, wake up and swallow these golden pills before going to sleep. Why are you so desperate?"

Gu Mingxin leaned in her arms, unable to speak. After swallowing the golden cores with her last bit of strength, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Sigh..."

Floating in the sky, Xue'e shook her head and sighed, feeling distressed and helpless for a moment. She quickly went back into Gu Mingxin's head and helped her arrange her meridians from the inside.

Lu Meimei picked her up, looked around, and took her back to the inn where they were staying.

Snow fell like a waterfall over the town and soon buried the three bodies on the street under a white blanket.

A rumbling explosion sounded from the east of the town, and the commotion lasted for about a quarter of an hour before it stopped abruptly.

Lu Meimei changed into clothes that could pass the inspection and used her spiritual energy to heal Gu Mingxin.

After a while, Wu Tianci returned with the barely breathing Core Formation stage cultivator, pushed open the door, and entered.

Lu Meimei swept a glance. "Who is this dude?"

"When Sister Gu was fighting those three people just now, this guy was stalking from the shadows. He was quite difficult to deal with."

Wu Tianci wiped the blood on his face, then threw the man in front of Lu Meimei and looked at Gu Mingxin, who had her eyes closed on the bed. "Just now, Sister Gu kept calling someone Liang Xiaoliu. I guess this person is him. Use your charm to get some information from him."

"Fine."

Lu Meimei glanced at the person Wu Tianci threw over and, noticing the man was a little ugly, she pouted with disinterest but still carried him to the next room.
