The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

If his sister was the one attacking him, Ye Anping felt that he would still be able to hold his own.

After all, he had practiced with her every day for more than a decade and was familiar with her sword technique.

But Feng Yu Die was something else.

Her 'Nine Heavenly Swords Technique', even in the game, was the only noble sword technique that could deal 'real damage' in the game. Even if one were to play as a Heavenly Immortal, it would take until late in the game to save up enough skill points to learn it.

However, Ye Anping didn't panic.

He knew that, among those present, the one who should panic was Brother Liang.

After all, he, Ye Anping, was the only one who knew how to leave the mountain behind the Black Star Sect secretly.

So, if he died, even if Liang Zhu did his best and eventually defeated Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue, he would be besieged or captured alive by the Black Star Sect disciples coming over.

Liang Zhu was different from his brothers 'two, three, four, and five;' he was composed and had a functioning brain, so he should understand this fact.

In other words, Liang Zhu would definitely protect him at all costs.

And it was just as Ye Anping thought.

Seeing Feng Yu Die rushing over, he didn't dare to engage in battle with Pei Lianxue but hurried to protect Ye Anping instead.

He conjured several talismans from the storage bag and activated them with his spiritual energy.

Suddenly, the talisman flashed and turned into a hot ball of fire that exploded between Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die.

The rolling heat wave directly blew her away.

At this moment, Feng Yu Die was exposed, and if Liang Zhu wanted to seize the opportunity, he could probably seriously injure her. But instead of using the next talisman on Feng Yu Die, he preferred to protect Ye Anping.

Pei Lianxue also came up behind them and pointed her sword at her brother's back.

Boom---

Another heat wave pushed Pei Lianxue back a few steps.

Seeing that the two were forced to retreat, Liang Zhu quickly grabbed Ye Anping, leaped into the sky while pulling out his flying sword and stepping on it in one go. Then, they flew away without looking back.

The next moment, Feng Yu Die's helpless cry of rage followed in their wake. "You son of a bitch! Don't run away! Come down and fight me if you have the guts!! Are you scared? You, in the late-stage Foundation Building, are actually afraid of us, two Qi Refining stage cultivators. Don't you have any shame?!"

This trash talk made Liang Zhu's eyes twitch, but he had to hold back for now, as the priority was to get Ye Anping out of there as soon as possible.

Ye Anping turned his head, and just below him, Feng Yu Die was running and gesticulating, trying to throw her sword and stab them. For a moment, he didn't know what expression to show.

Anyway, things went pretty much as he thought they would.

Because of his presence, Liang Zhu chose not to continue fighting with Feng Yu Die and the others.

The two talismans that Liang Zhu used before were enough to show that he was a Dharma* practitioner and was also in the late stage of the Foundation Building.

Now that Feng Yu Die and Pei Lianxue did not have their flying swords, as long as Liang Zhu flew his, it would be difficult for them to get close to him.

In a real fight, even if his sister and Feng Yu Die could kill Liang Zhu, they would definitely pay a high price and get seriously injured.

After flying for a while, Ye Anping took the initiative to apologize. "Brother Liang, I'm sorry. If I didn't come, you could have fought those two..."

"It's fine..." Liang Zhu interrupted, then he turned his head to look at him. "That Feng Yu Die could kill the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect, so I expected that she would be difficult to deal with. But I really didn't expect that the other girl traveling with her would be equally difficult to deal with..."

I'm the one who trained her~~~

Ye Anping stifled his laughter and nodded, saying earnestly, "Indeed, how could a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage bypass the chopping melons and vegetables training and directly kill someone in the Foundation Building stage?"

"Hehe..." Liang Zhu shook his head with a bitter smile. "Are all Qi Refining cultivators at that level nowadays?"

"How could that be? If all Qi Refining stage cultivators were like those two, then what would this world become? The real Qi Refining stage cultivator should be that purple-haired girl." Ye Anping stated.

Recalling the purple-haired girl, Liang Zhu sighed. Those other two girls were simply monsters.

Most of the cultivators in the Qi Refining stage had only just entered the path of Immortality. They just trained with their swords and meditated every day, having no real experience in fighting people at all. Therefore, the average Qi Refining stage cultivator would basically be very flustered and fearful when encountering an enemy, hesitating to kill someone.

But just now, Feng Yu Die and that other girl were completely different from the third girl; those two seemed to have grown up in a pool of blood, killing people without even blinking.

Liang Zhu exhaled lightly and remembered that he had just taken the purple-haired girl's sword, so he took it out of the storage bag with a gesture.

"At least I didn't return empty-handed, although the price was a bit high..." Liang Zhu handed the sword to Ye Anping and asked, "Little brother... No, let me call you Little Boss... Little Boss, take a look at this sword."

Ye Anping looked at Xiao Yunluo's sword and was stunned for a while before receiving it.

This sword was a birthday gift from Master Danyue to Xiao Yunluo. It was a high-quality sword forged by thousand-year-old black stone and other priceless materials, and the man who made it was an old Nascent Soul stage craftsman from Black Star Sect.

In other words, even placed among the most noble cultivator families' swords, it would still be the town treasure.

But...

Who would dare to sell it?

Whoever dared to sell it would be chased from south to north by a cranky old hag in the Void Returning stage, and a "chasing to blow off his head" scene would be played.

"I just snatched this sword from that purple-haired girl." Liang Zhu explained. "I'm not a sword cultivator, and I don't know much about swords, I can only tell that this one should be able to fetch a good price. So, Little Boss, how much would you say it's worth?"

Ye Anping hesitated, then said tentatively, "This sword should be forged from a whole piece of black stone."

"Black stone? What is a black stone?"

"Black stone is a very rare thing that contains spiritual power and is mostly used when forging spirit swords."

"Ah, so..." Liang Zhu nodded to express his understanding and asked, "How much is that worth?"

Ye Anping carefully observed Liang Zhu's expression, and seeing that he really didn't know what black stone was, he was relieved.

However, he certainly couldn't say it was worth millions of spirit stones. Liang Zhu might just twist his head by suddenly turning around.

After a pause, he laughed. "Anyway, it's quite valuable if you auction it on the black market. If you find an interested buyer, you can sell it even for ten thousand spirit stones."

"Ten thousand spirits stones? Is this sword so valuable?"

"Of course it is."

Ye Anping nodded, and while Liang Zhu was concentrating on flying, he quickly spit on the sword, wiped off his fingerprints, and handed it back.

Liang Zhu took the sword back, measured it for a moment, and said jokingly, "It seems that "Second Brother" and the others did not die for nothing... Hahaha... What do you think, Little Boss?"

"What do I think?" Ye Anping raised his eyebrows and said with a slight sense of loss, "Actually, I grew quite fond of "Second Brother" and the others during these three days of brotherhood. We'd better set up a stone tablet for them and burn some incense there when we go back."

"Hahaha... so be it."

Riding the flying sword, they quickly slipped out of the Black Star Sect back mountain without anyone noticing.
