Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

Forced to swallow, Yuebai's face showed difficulty again, completely unaware of what pill she had just been fed.

Meanwhile, Xumo, who had just broken through, personally witnessed Yino's fingers wandering over the foxgirl's body, instantly causing his already furious eyes to blaze with two blood-red lights.

"Harming Lady Ruoning is one thing, but now you dare defile my Master!"

"Yino, I'll definitely kill you today!"

Xumo roared, rushing at Yino like he was on stimulants, his form fast as an afterimage.

In that instant, time seemed to freeze. Liuli and Jinyue couldn't support in time, but they saw Yino dodge with strange footwork by a hair's breadth.

At the same time, a slender sword white as snow flew from behind him—

Clang!!!

The Frost Chant sword struck out suddenly but was blocked by Xumo's sword control.

However, during the clash of swords, the Frost Chant sword's strength far exceeded Xumo's green sword. Within half a second, the green sword in Xumo's hand shattered, and he was sent flying by the spiritual energy wave.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"He managed to breakthrough without me killing him..."

Watching Xumo roll awkwardly on the ground, Yino didn't rush to draw his sword to counterattack. Instead, he analyzed his opponent's combat ability while signaling Liuli with his eyes not to intervene, but to first secure and take away Yuebai.

However, this time, with Xumo's potential unleashed, he quickly regained his footing.

Seeing the red-robed Holy Maiden about to drag his Master away with vines, Xumo's hands swiftly formed seals before his chest. In an instant, a massive sword formation materialized around them, blocking everyone's escape routes.

"Put my Master down! Otherwise, no one's leaving today!"

During the time Yuebai was surrounded by blood-colored vines, Xumo lying on the ground had already fallen into complete despair. His view was blocked by the vines, and with only Yino and Yuebai inside, Xumo could imagine even with eyes closed what vulgar things Yino might do to his master.

This wasn't Xumo's imagination running wild.

Because his Master had personally said Yino captured Ruoning to corrupt her.

Now with his Master in the demon's clutches, Yino corrupting his Master also made sense!

Thinking of this, a terrifying energy ignited in Xumo's chest.

He knew this was the sign of his potential awakening.

But Xumo didn't rush to attack, instead continuing to fake unconsciousness while secretly arranging nine green swords around the perimeter.

Strictly speaking, Xumo wasn't a sword cultivator, but rather a formation specialist.

So Xumo first set up the formation, and now attacked again. With Yino at the formation's center, Xumo could freely control the surrounding nine green swords to strike at Yino.

However… As the green swords struck from all directions, Yino once again easily dodged within the formation center with extremely strange footwork.

Not only that, while busy avoiding swords flying from all directions, he even had energy left to remotely control the Frost Chant sword in one-on-one combat with Xumo.

Clang--!!!

With the final sword clash, Yino finally shattered all Xumo's remaining flying swords.

Xumo's eyes widened as he stared intently, seeing that through all this back and forth, hundreds of spiritual swords in the formation hadn't managed to harm Yino at all!

But as the spiritual swords dissipated, Xumo's carefully prepared sword formation also vanished into nothing.

Seeing the formation disappear, Liuli immediately fled the scene with Yuebai.

"How... how is this possible..."

"Did you fake your power all this time!!???"

Xumo shook his head in disbelief, losing his voice.

His plan had several steps - first set up the sword formation to block the enemy's escape, second concentrate fire to instantly kill Yino, and third rescue his Master from Liuli...

Xumo was extremely confident in his swordsmanship and formations - even in the Liuli Sect, few seniors could match him in sword arts.

But now, Xumo truly felt he'd seen a ghost.

Yino's sword talent was absolutely terrifying.

This went beyond cultivation level differences - even if Yino stood still without attacking and let Xumo strike three more times, Xumo estimated he still couldn't touch a hair on him!

"No, that's not it!"

"You're only at Core Formation stage, yet you've already tamed a Sword Spirit!"

At some point, Xumo noticed the frost energy emanating from the Frost Chant sword in Yino's hand. After enduring the baptism of countless sword formations, that snow-white blade hadn't acquired even a single scratch.

Clearly, this was no ordinary sword! This was a legendary Sword Spirit with its own consciousness!

At this moment, Xumo finally discovered the truth.

No wonder Yino could still freely battle Xumo while entangled with the sword formation.

It wasn't him multitasking - this ice sword itself was a living Sword Spirit!

Since Yino never personally attacked, Xumo had always thought he only knew how to hide behind women doing evil deeds.

But now after crossing swords one-on-one, Xumo deeply felt completely outmatched in every way.

In terms of talent, Yino was the true genius.

In terms of advantages, Yino had already mastered a Sword Spirit at such a young age.

In contrast, Xumo's normally proud foxmaster had now been thoroughly bound by Yino and lost her combat ability.

Without his master's secret support from the ring, Xumo's strength was already greatly diminished.

Moreover... After Yino easily dissolved the sword formation earlier, Liuli and Jinyue would eventually join the battle.

Thinking about it now, Xumo felt his plan was laughable.

He couldn't even win one-on-one, how could he handle three-on-one?

"Tch..."

Xumo clicked his tongue silently.

He noticed blood-colored vines flying to kill from afar, instinctively drawing his sword to defend.

Meanwhile, Yino again summoned the Frost Chant sword--

Slash!!!

Xumo battled the Frost Chant sword on his left while busy deploying formations to resist endless blood-colored vines on his right.

Gradually, Xumo fell into a disadvantage.

He swung his arm to deflect the Frost Chant sword, trying to sidestep to create distance, but didn't expect the rotating Frost Chant sword in midair to suddenly be grabbed by Yino.

"Seeking death!"

Yino spun two and a half times in midair.

He narrowed his cold eyes, hesitated briefly, but finally revealed killing intent and charged at Xumo with his sword.

Clang--!!!

Xumo blocked with his sword control, violently unleashing potential to send Yino flying.

But before he could recover and steady himself, though Yino was sent flying, he had released the Frost Chant sword midway. Now Xumo couldn't locate the Frost Chant sword's position--

"Damn it, this Sword Spirit is truly annoying."
