Battle Through the Heavens: Beauties Abound Starting with Yunlan and Her Disciples

30: Section 30But someone’s reaction suddenly broke the atmosphere on the scene—

”Oh! My god! It’s... it’s him! It really is him! Such... such breathtaking Beauty, it’s simply like a god descending into the mortal world! My heart... my heart has almost stopped beating!”

The young Alchemist, upon seeing Yun Xiancheng’s appearance clearly, looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His originally calm face instantly flushed red, and a light of near-obsession erupted in his eyes.

His body even began to tremble slightly, as if he had seen the most perfect work of art in the world. Following that, he said incoherently:

”Look! This is the true... the true peerless Beauty! You were indeed right about what you said earlier! No, you simply underestimated his charm! He... he is a hundred times, a thousand times more handsome than you described! My god... I feel like I’m going to faint!”

The Alchemist slapped Jia Lie Ao’s buttocks with a *pa* sound. ”We are broken up, Jia Lie Ao.”

Jia Lie Ao’s facial muscles twitched, and tears of humiliation flowed from his eyes.

The young Alchemist was completely immersed in his own world, gazing at Yun Xiancheng with obsessive eyes, uttering incoherent exclamations:

”Beauty... no, you are simply... a gift bestowed upon me by the heavens! It is the guidance of fate! I feel... I feel like I have been searching for an existence like you my whole life! To be able to meet you at this moment is simply the happiest moment of my life!”

”Holy crap, no way. What... what is the situation here?”

Yun Xiancheng was startled by the young Alchemist’s sudden enthusiasm. His originally fierce expression instantly froze on his face, the corners of his mouth twitching, and the corners of his eyes twitching slightly as well.

Clearly stunned by this overly ”enthusiastic” young Alchemist, he subconsciously retreated to the side of the three sisters of the Xiao Family, seeking a sense of security. ”Ugh... it’s a bit... a bit uncomfortable.”

Xiao Yan was also made somewhat uncomfortable by the young Alchemist’s exaggerated reaction. She shrank her neck and muttered softly:

”Hehe, the little gentleman doesn’t seem to be used to such overly direct enthusiasm. However, he really has a unique charm when he shows this slightly embarrassed expression.”

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xun’er covered her mouth and chuckled again, a flash of mischief in her eyes. She clearly found Yun Xiancheng’s flustered appearance quite amusing. Xiao Yu was also nauseated by the young Alchemist’s cheesy flattery. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously gripped the hilt of her sword, keeping a vigilant eye on the excited young Alchemist.

Xiao Mei had just come down from Yun Xiancheng’s side. Hearing the young Alchemist’s such explicit praise, her anger flared instantly. Pointing at the young Alchemist’s nose, she rebuked him unceremoniously:

”Hey! I’m talking to you, guy! What kind of nonsense are you spouting! You perverted Gay man, acting crazy here, it’s disgusting!”

Hearing Xiao Mei’s merciless rebuke, the young Alchemist’s expression instantly darkened.

His originally obsessive expression was instantly replaced by gloom. He swept a cold, sinister glance at Xiao Mei and roared in a chilling tone:

”You ungrateful little brat! How dare you insult me like this! You are simply tired of living! Young Master Jia Lie Ao! What are you still standing there for?! Why don’t you hurry up and do it! Beat the women until they are dead!”

055 The Power of Aura

The biting cold wind, carrying heavy snowflakes, whipped wantonly across the world, emitting a sobbing wail.

Following the Alchemist’s cold command, the Jia Lie Family Dou Practitioners, who had surrounded Yun Xiancheng’s group like hungry wolves, began to move. ”Heehee haha, little Beauty, just you wait.”

The Alchemist stared greedily at Yun Xiancheng and said this.

The other Dou Practitioner guards instantly received the order to attack, their faces twisted with ferocity as they brandished their weapons and lunged at the Young ladies.

However, at this moment, the Xiao Family Young ladies, with Yun Xiancheng as their backbone, showed no fear whatsoever. Their eyes were firm, their faces calm, like rocks in a storm—no matter how the wind blew or the waves crashed, they remained unmoved.

These four Young ladies, although their cultivation was only at the low-star Dou Practitioner level, their identities and potential were by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Xiao Yan had the potential of a Dou Di; Xiao Xun’er was the Second Miss of the Gu Clan, possessing Gu Clan bloodline; Xiao Mei currently also had the potential of a Dou Sheng; Xiao Yu was a student of the Jia Nan Academy. The Young ladies all possessed abilities far surpassing their peers.

Although there was a certain Xiao Yu who didn’t want to reveal her name and seemed to be a special case.

Facing these ordinary Dou Practitioners who had only come into contact with Yellow-rank Dou Techniques and Yellow-rank Cultivation Methods, this battle was destined from the very beginning to be a one-sided crushing defeat.

Before the Young ladies, these Dou Practitioners were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; they were simply unable to withstand a single blow. Moreover, Yun Xiancheng was standing right beside these Young ladies.

His presence was like a pillar of stability, filling their hearts with security and confidence.

Under Yun Xiancheng’s encouragement and leadership, the morale of the Xiao Family Young ladies soared. Each of them was like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, erupting with astonishing combat power. Their movements were agile, their cooperation tacit, and the weapons in their hands were like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, ruthlessly striking down the enemies.

Under the fierce offensive of the Young ladies, the Jia Lie Family Dou Practitioners retreated steadily, falling to the ground one by one like straw blown over by a gale, emitting painful groans.

For a time, the tables had turned. The Jia Lie Family Dou Practitioners, who had originally held the advantage, were now like stray dogs, beaten by the Young ladies until they had no power to fight back.

”Damn it, both of you, get up there! What are you still standing there for!?”

Seeing his subordinates falling in droves like harvested wheat, Jia Lie Ao suddenly panicked. He roared in exasperation at the two Dou Masters who were standing on the side, remaining motionless.

These two Dou Masters wore the emblem of the Giant Shark Mercenary Group on their chests. Their foreheads were covered in fine beads of sweat, their muscles were tense, and their eyes were filled with fear and unease.

Faced with Jia Lie Ao’s urging and cursing, these two Dou Masters seemed not to hear, turning a deaf ear and ignoring him completely. Only cold sweat continued to drip down.

”What on earth are you doing! Do you want to watch me be killed by them!?”

Jia Lie Ao was completely enraged. He rushed in front of one of the Dou Masters, raised his hand, and slapped his back hard, urging him to act quickly. But the moment his palm touched the Dou Master’s back, a soft *pa* sound was heard.

The Dou Master’s body jolted violently. Following that, bright red blood gushed wildly from his seven orifices like a breached flood. His eyes instantly dimmed, and his body collapsed weakly to the ground like a kite with a broken string, actually dying on the spot.

The remaining Dou Master suddenly snapped back to reality. He was so terrified that his soul seemed to fly away; his whole body trembled violently like a sieve. His legs went weak, and he fell directly to the ground, looking at Yun Xiancheng in terror, his eyes filled with endless fear and despair. ”Such... such a terrifying pressure! This dragon, are you a dragon... or a tiger?”

”Don’t come over, don’t come over! Please, spare me! I... I don’t know anything!”

The Dou Master’s eyes were filled with terror, as if he had seen a demon from hell. He struggled on the ground, moving his body backward, wanting to stay as far away from Yun Xiancheng as possible.

He had completely lost the courage to fight and only wanted to escape from this terrifying place as quickly as possible.

”Just by clashing with aura alone, he directly crushed a Dou Master to death? And scared the other one into a breakdown?” As the Second Miss of the Gu Clan, Xiao Xun’er had seen countless powerful people since she was young and naturally possessed insight far beyond ordinary people. She saw through the trick behind the confrontation between Yun Xiancheng and the two Dou Masters at a glance.

She was secretly shocked by Yun Xiancheng’s rapidly advancing strength, while becoming increasingly curious about him. ”And he even scared one into a breakdown, heehee, my little gentleman is really becoming more and more amazing.”

Xiao Xun’er nodded with satisfaction, very pleased with Yun Xiancheng’s performance. She looked at Yun Xiancheng’s back, her eyes filled with faint affection.

Yun Xiancheng turned his head and discovered that his four delicate flowers were quite measured during the battle. It seemed they didn’t want to take anyone’s life, only knocking the enemies unconscious without dealing lethal blows.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that they were ultimately just flowers raised in a greenhouse. Despite possessing formidable strength, they lacked the necessary decisiveness to kill.

Seeing the two Dou Masters he viewed as his trump cards lose their combat effectiveness—one dead and one crippled—without even getting a chance to strike, Jia Lie Ao’s mindset completely shattered.

He collapsed to the ground, his legs trembling uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with despair and terror; he didn’t even have the courage to run away.

Yun Xiancheng took a slow step forward, the longsword in his hand glinting with a bone-chilling cold light under the moonlight.

With cold eyes, he looked at the Dou Master who had already gone mad. Without a hint of hesitation, he raised his sword and brought it down, instantly severing the man’s head. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground red.

Afterward, Yun Xiancheng turned his head and offered a gentle smile, looking at Xiao Yan not far away, and said softly:

”Yaner, you all are still a bit too soft-hearted. When facing people who want to harm you, there is no need to show mercy.”

As he spoke, he gently patted Xiao Yan’s shoulder, his eyes filled with encouragement.

”Towards friends, we should be as warm as the spring breeze; towards enemies, we should be as biting as the winter.”

”If we reserve our warmth for our enemies, are we to reserve the winter for our friends?”

These words from Yun Xiancheng were like a sudden enlightenment, plunging the Young ladies into deep contemplation. Afterward, Xiao Yan seemed to make up her mind, her gaze becoming resolute.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the hesitation and reluctance in her heart, and the power in her hand erupted suddenly.

056 Crushing the Gay man

After Xiao Yan exerted her strength, she smashed her fist into the chest of the Dou Practitioner opposite her. A crisp ”crack” sound was heard.

Xiao Yan’s opponent let out a shrill scream, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

He crashed heavily onto the ground, his chest completely collapsed, and blood sprayed wildly from his mouth as if it were worthless.

His face was filled with an expression of disbelief; he seemingly could not believe that he had been killed in one blow by a girl from the Xiao Family who was actually trying.

It seems the girls from the Xiao Family had indeed gone to some trouble previously to avoid having the intent to kill.

”Li... Living... You... Why didn’t you give them advice a little later?”

He lay on the ground, on his last breath, his eyes filled with despair and regret.

Watching Yun Xiancheng’s back, he seemed to resent him for reminding the Young ladies just now, which caused his own misfortune. Looking at his teammates who had fainted on the ground, he was filled with deep annoyance:

”If I had known... I would have just pretended to cooperate and then conceded directly. At least that way I could have saved my life.”

But it was too late for regrets. This Dou Practitioner, filled with endless remorse, slowly closed his eyes and departed from this world forever.

”Hoo, hoo.” Xiao Yan took deep breaths, trying to calm her agitated emotions. This was the first time she had killed someone with her own hands; deep down, she still found it hard to accept and felt a sense of panic and unease.

She hadn’t expected that she would actually kill someone.

Yun Xiancheng walked to her side, gently patted her shoulder, and comforted her: ”Well done, Yaner. You did very well.”

”Brothers, stop fighting! Stop fighting! If we keep fighting, people are going to die!”

Seeing that Xiao Yan had actually dealt a lethal blow and killed their companion without mercy, the remaining Dou Practitioners of the Jia Lie Family immediately lost all their fighting spirit.

One by one, they were like birds startled by a bow, abandoning their young master, greasing their feet, and fleeing the scene at the fastest speed of their lives.

The speed was so fast that the remaining Young ladies of the Xiao Family couldn’t quite react. But that was fine.

”What the little gentleman said is actually quite right.”

Xiao Xun’er watched the wolf-like fleeing figures, smiled slightly, walked to Yun Xiancheng’s side, extended her slender jade hand, and gently placed it on his shoulder, smiling as she said:

”Towards friends, as warm as spring; towards enemies, as biting as winter.”

”When the little gentleman killed, there really wasn’t a hint of hesitation.” She said softly to Yun Xiancheng: ”And what we enjoy is your warm spring breeze, right?” ”That’s right.”

Yun Xiancheng wasn’t going to indulge her; he directly extended his hands and pulled her into his embrace. The young lady was slightly startled by being suddenly hugged and let out a delicate cry.

But afterward, she calmed down, a happy smile appearing on her face. She contentedly stroked Yun Xiancheng’s back and said softly:

”Then we are truly quite lucky to be able to enjoy the little gentleman’s tenderness.” ”How do we deal with the remaining two?”

Xiao Yan pointed to the First-Rank Alchemist who had been frightened into collapsing on the ground, as well as Jia Lie Ao, who was similarly collapsed on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, and asked.

”Oh, darling, are you really going to kill me? I like you so much.”

That Gay man seemed not to have realized the reality yet; he actually threw a flirtatious glance at Yun Xiancheng and spoke in a flamboyant manner.

Yun Xiancheng, who had goosebumps all over from his disgusting posture, could no longer endure it. Without a word, he raised his sword and brought it down, slitting his throat with one strike.

The Gay man didn’t even have time to utter a second disgusting sentence before he fell to the ground.

”My fault, I shouldn’t have given him the chance to speak. That was truly disgusting.”

Yun Xiancheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained to the Young ladies with a look of disgust.

The Young ladies were all amused by his embarrassed appearance. One by one, they covered their little mouths, giggled, and said in unison: ”Senior Brother/Brother/Little Gentleman/Young Master, you look truly adorable like this.”

The corpse of the First-Rank Alchemist fell beside Jia Lie Ao, which terrified Jia Lie Ao so much that his soul flew away; he completely collapsed. He trembled all over, losing control of his bowels and bladder, and a nauseating stench of urine instantly spread throughout the entire courtyard.

”Seriously, being harassed by a Gay man is really terrifying, okay? You don’t know, I almost threw up.” Yun Xiancheng hurriedly explained.

Afterward, he turned his cold gaze toward the young master of the Jia Lie Family lying to the side, his eyes filled with killing intent: ”This is the young master of the Jia Lie Family, right? It seems he is completely useless now, daring to bring people to block you and wanting to do you harm...”

Yun Xiancheng’s gaze turned cold. Without a hint of hesitation, he raised his foot and stomped heavily on Jia Lie Ao’s head, pressing his skull firmly into the snow, making him unable to move.

Immediately following that, he raised the longsword in his hand and, without hesitation, slit his throat. ”Then just kill him, there’s nothing more to say.”

”Will this lead to any bad consequences?” Xiao Yan asked, somewhat nervously.

”Why be afraid? Why should we fear consequences for our actions? The worst that can happen is they become our enemies.”

Yun Xiancheng was indifferent, laughing heartily: ”We are still young, in the prime of our youth. Maintaining an intrepid youthful spirit is what we should do! Being hesitant and fearful—is that how a young person should be?”

The Young ladies were, after all, sheltered girls. Seeing Yun Xiancheng speak like this, their hearts were also filled with a fearless mindset:

”Senior Brother is right, what is there to fear? Isn’t it just the Jia Lie Family becoming our enemies? They have always wanted to annex our Xiao Family and have long been in a hostile state. Since that’s the case, why should we hesitate and be timid?”

Xiao Yan said with a firm gaze, her tone filled with resolution.

”Since they dared to strike at us, then they must be made to pay the price! A life for a life, paying back debts—this is only natural and right!”

Xiao Mei also said coldly, her tone filled with killing intent. Xiao Xun’er also nodded in agreement: ”Let’s just see if anything interesting is going to happen~”

”Since that’s the case, let’s hang Jia Lie Ao’s corpse in front of our Xiao Family’s marketplace to intimidate them, so they know that our Xiao Family is not to be trifled with!”

Xiao Yu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up. During her time studying at Jia Nan Academy, she had once seen the academy kill people who trespassed or committed serious crimes, then hang their corpses for public display to intimidate those with ill intentions. She felt this method was very effective and therefore wanted to use it on the Jia Lie Family as well.

It seems she did learn something from Jia Nan Academy. ”Let’s do exactly that!” Yun Xiancheng’s eyes lit up as he said.
