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

74: Section 74Gnawing at the fortress cost another thousand-plus combat soldiers of the First Legion and three thousand combat soldiers from other legions their lives. All in all, nearly ten thousand had already died in battle.

Yet he hadn’t even achieved his established goal, even though the Snake-People’s turtle formation had been breached on all sides. This Dou Huang General only felt that these battle losses were too unsightly.

He had campaigned in other countries and had fought against such turtle formations before. But this was the first time he had encountered one so difficult to gnaw through.

Nearly three thousand Dou Masters were still too precious for an empire in the Northwest Continent. To lose them here like this—unless a few Dou Kings could be raised—was simply too great a loss.

Just at this moment, a violent energy fluctuation came from the center of the Snake-People Holy City. ”Medusa’s evolution has reached a new stage; the pace must be accelerated.”

This Dou Huang General did not hesitate any longer and ordered: ”All forces, attack! We cannot delay any longer!”

The core combat soldiers of the Meteorite Empire’s First Legion were worthy of being called a battle-hardened force. Even with auxiliary troops killed and supplies cut off, relying on the hidden resources in their storage rings to survive, and failing to conquer after a long assault, they still launched a new round of attacks despite a twenty percent casualty rate among the combat soldiers.

The morale of the other legions had dropped significantly; after all, they were not the most elite. However, led by the spearhead, they also launched an attack.

Time passed second by second, and the group led by Pill King Gu He of the Jiama Empire also arrived. Yun Yun was wrapped in a black robe, sensing the positions of her Disciple and the light spots of her sister. She was certain that they were currently inside this Snake-People Holy City.

The Snake-People were a very xenophobic race. How did they manage to sneak into the Snake-People Holy City? Yun Yun felt some concern for their safety.

”The Heavenly Flame is indeed in Medusa’s hands. It seems the Snake-People Holy City is in a state of war?”

A middle-aged Alchemist looked at the war-torn Snake-People Holy City and muttered: ”Chaos is better. Only then will it be convenient to seize the Heavenly Flame.”

”I am only escorting you into here. As for the Heavenly Flame, I have no obligation to fight to the death for you.”

Yun Yun said in a low voice, her gaze fixed on her Disciple’s light spot, only to discover that they were currently deep within the enemy lines. ”Alright, go and grab the Heavenly Flame yourselves! My mission is already complete.”

Yun Yun left only this sentence behind and vanished from the spot. This fellow... why is she becoming increasingly vigilant?

The middle-aged Alchemist frowned and said to the three Dou King Experts beside him: ”Forget it, ignore her. The Snake-People Holy City is currently in a state of chaos. We cannot sneak in indiscriminately; do not cross paths with the Snake-People’s Dou Kings.”

Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan fought hand in hand within a Snake-People fortress. Since they were only a Dou Master and a Great Dou Master, and they were inside the fortress, basically anyone who saw them would not return alive.

Yun Xiancheng slashed a Great Dou Master’s throat with one sword stroke, and then Xiao Yan exerted force, swinging the xuan heavy ruler onto the Great Dou Master, smashing him into a pulp of flesh. ”Huff, huff...”

They had been fighting here for two hours. Xiao Yan felt that her physical strength was somewhat exhausted, but the enemies seemed to be endless. Meanwhile, outside the fortress,

”What is going on? Why is this fortress still holding out? According to the original plan, this place should have been eradicated long ago...” A Dou Ling Young General looked at the fortress where Yun Xiancheng was located and frowned.

This fortress was already isolated and without reinforcements; its excessive resilience only caused it to be deeply surrounded. ”It seems there are some tough bones inside. Have the second and third groups from the original plan go up and gnaw him down.”

This Dou Ling Young General thought for a moment, then picked up his own long spear, took his personal guards, and prepared to storm in. ”We should go.”

Yun Xiancheng supported Xiao Yan and said in a low voice.

”The enemy’s reckless attacks are too fierce; the Snake-People’s defense line can no longer hold.” At this moment, the surrounding Snake-People soldiers said:

”Young human lads, you should leave quickly. This is a matter for us Snake-People. It is already a source of immense guilt to have you fight for us; there is no need to die for us.”

The Snake-Person guarding this place was a Two-Star Great Dou Shi. If he were in a small city on the border of the empire, he would be enough to become an elder of a family, but here, he was just a body in a meat grinder ready to die at any moment.

Xiao Yan chewed on a few medicinal pills to restore physical strength and Dou Qi, looking at these Snake-People, seemingly a bit unwilling. But Yun Xiancheng was much more cold-blooded: ”The Holy City will remember your contributions.” ”Go! Go!”

Yun Xiancheng pulled Xiao Yan and prepared to leave, but saw a Four-Star Dou Ling Young General holding a long spear, blocking their path of retreat. ”Humans? Why would humans appear in the Snake-People’s military formation?”

This Dou Ling Young General saw Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan, was stunned for a moment, and then thought of many things.

This young general was only in his thirties and was already a Four-Star Dou Ling. After another dozen years of honing on the battlefield, he might not necessarily fail to become a Dou King in the future. He recalled the mysterious Dou Huang from the first battle; perhaps these two humans were the juniors brought by that Dou Huang.

”Ha, good luck. If I kill you two, I can also have a great merit when I return.” Yun Xiancheng did not speak, only drew his sword.

This Dou Ling Young General was much stronger than those two Dou Lings in Wutan City. However... he was also much stronger now than he was back then; it was not impossible to fight him.

The Dou Ling was worthy of being a veteran who had campaigned on the battlefield. In an instant, he sensed the momentum radiating from Yun Xiancheng. ”He’s a trained fighter!”

On the battlefield, there is no room for underestimation. Even facing Yun Xiancheng, who was only at the Great Dou Master stage, this Dou Ling Young General did not dare to be careless.

In an instant, both unleashed their strongest Dou Techniques. ”Meteor Breaking Strike!” ”Wind Extremity: Sunset Radiance!”

The two beams of light collided, emitting a violent shockwave. ”You...”

The light gradually dissipated. In this round, the two seemed evenly matched. But the next moment, the armor on the Dou Ling Young General’s chest exploded directly, and another attack seemed to generate out of thin air, piercing his body from his back.

He only had time to say one word before collapsing to the ground. Years of campaigning, years of experience, came to a full stop in this instant.

Yun Xiancheng no longer cared about this person. He took Xiao Yan’s hand, his internal Dou Qi mostly depleted; he could not handle another Dou Ling. They were indeed a battle-hardened force; the combat power of the soldiers was truly strong.

This Dou Ling Young General killing the two Dou Lings in Wutan City was as simple as an adult killing a child. If his attack hadn’t carried extra damage and poison, he might not have really been able to finish him off. ”Let’s go, we cannot stay here for too long.”

Yun Xiancheng took a deep breath, spread his cloud wings, and prepared to take Xiao Yan away. Just then, Medicine Lady in his mind seemed to sense something, and a hint of fear appeared on her relaxed face.

”Strange, how does this little Dou Ling’s cultivation method have a kind of...” She seemed to recall the feeling of the Hall of Souls and felt something ominous. Why were they in such a remote place?

Medicine Lady shrank into Yun Xiancheng’s mind, shivering like a wounded little beast.

149 Yun Yun Returns. The little appearance of Medicine Lady hiding in Yun Xiancheng’s mind and shivering was naturally noticed by Yun Xiancheng himself. Yun Xiancheng asked: ”Is it okay?”

Medicine Lady took a deep breath and slowly said: ”You do not need to understand these matters. When your Realm is high enough, I will tell you myself.”

Yun Xiancheng nodded and did not continue to ask deeply about this matter. Anyway, at most it was just the Hall of Souls; as a transmigrator, he already knew.

Although they were still surrounded by the enemy army, because the enemy army was currently launching attacks in small squads, as long as they were careful, it was difficult to run into an enemy squad head-on on the large battlefield. Even if some people saw them, it was not easy to deviate from their own targets. Therefore, they arrived safely at the front line where both sides were engaged in battle.

At this moment, the people of the Meteorite Empire had already gnawed a path through the Snake-People’s fortress, but they had suffered a total loss of nearly half, with only five thousand usable combat soldiers left fighting.

The Dou Masters and Dou Huangs of both sides were all standing in conspicuous places, keeping each other in check and deterring each other, but both tacitly did not make a move, instead watching coldly as blood flowed on the battlefield.

Big Lion was staring fixedly at the direction of Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan; if a Dou King or Dou Huang of the Meteorite Empire noticed them, she would immediately make a move to rescue them.

”It’s about time; those two are also coming back. The final battle is today.” Yue Mei said in a low voice.

At this moment, the Meteorite Empire had one Dou Huang and nine Dou Kings, while the Snake-People had one Emperor and seven Kings. Unlike the first battle, this time the Snake-People’s warriors and the Meteorite Empire’s soldiers were all killing each other; they surely could not help much.

”No matter. This time they absolutely cannot affect the Queen’s breakthrough. This battle... is our victory!” A Snake-People Clan Chief said confidently.

The Meteorite Empire’s Dou Huang General, who had been closely monitoring the entire battlefield, his gaze as sharp as a falcon, finally noticed the two human figures on the edge of the battlefield below that seemed somewhat ”out of place”—Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan!

”Hmm? Humans?” The Dou Huang General frowned, instantly sensing something wrong in his heart.

On the Snake-People Clan’s territory, especially on this tragic battlefield front line, how could two humans who did not appear to have high cultivation appear? And... looking at their route of movement, they were clearly trying to enter the Snake-People Clan’s position!

”Could it be... the Disciple of that mysterious Amethyst Winged Lion King?” A thought flashed through his mind like lightning!

After all, apart from this explanation, he really could not think of any other more reasonable reason. He couldn’t say that the commanding general of the opposite Snake-People Clan would be such a human lad with a cultivation of only a Great Dou Master, right? And he personally ran to the front line to ”experience the battlefield”? This was simply the biggest joke in the world!

”If I can capture these two humans...” A trace of greed and ruthlessness flashed in the Dou Huang General’s eyes, ”Using this as a threat, it will certainly make that lioness hesitate to act! In the subsequent battle, our side will definitely be able to occupy an absolute advantage!”

Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed! He almost subconsciously made the decision! ”Now is the time!”

The Dou Huang General suddenly let out a low roar, his figure like an arrow leaving the bow, suddenly swooping down from a high place, aiming straight at Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan below!

However, moving at the same time as him was a faster, more rapid purple stream of light! It was precisely Yun Ziyi, who was vigilant at all times!

”Stop her!” The Dou Huang General saw this, not surprised but happy, and instead ordered the Dou Kings behind him!

At the same time, he himself ignored everything, continuing to rush toward Yun Xiancheng at a faster speed! ”As expected! They are indeed your Disciples!”

Watching Yun Ziyi’s unhesitating, and even slightly anxious, interception movement, the Dou Huang General became increasingly certain of his guess and could not help but laugh wildly!

”Stupid lion! Your greatest weakness has been grasped by me!” He crazily urged his Dou Qi while laughing wildly: ”Next, I only need to continuously attack your two precious Disciples! To protect them, you will inevitably be distracted! You will inevitably reveal flaws! At that time... it will be your death day!”

He seemed to have already seen the dawn of victory, seeing the beautiful scene of cutting this powerful lioness down! If a Dou Huang falls, what treasures will those existences bestow upon him!?

However, just at the moment before his attack was about to touch Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan! A cold, noble, yet containing boundless anger and biting killing intent voice, like thunder from the nine heavens, suddenly resounded over the entire battlefield: ”That is my Disciple! You—are not allowed to hurt him!!!”

Accompanied by this delicate shout, an indescribable, terrifying pressure that seemed to be able to freeze the soul swept over like a tide. Immediately after, a graceful figure, like a teleport, appeared without warning in front of the Dou Huang General! That was a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a moon-white robe with cloud patterns, with an ethereal and refined temperament, like a fairy from the nine heavens! It was—Yun Yun!

Who knew when she had also appeared on this battlefield! At this moment, her pretty face was filled with killing intent, her beautiful eyes were burning with rage, and a cyan long sword in her hand, already carrying the terrifying power to tear through space, slashed mercilessly toward the Dou Huang General, who was dumbfounded and completely unprepared!

At the same time, Yun Ziyi had also shaken off the brief entanglement of those seven Dou Kings and arrived in an instant! Two peerless experts, both of whom were stunningly beautiful and had reached the Realm of Dou Huang, had actually formed a perfect encirclement at this moment!

And... although it was their first time fighting side by side, there seemed to be an indescribable tacit understanding between Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi: their attacks, one sharp as the wind, one overbearing as fire, seemed to have completely different styles, yet they coordinated flawlessly, complementing each other. This perhaps... was precisely because they both held the same person in their hearts—Yun Xiancheng!

This strange and complex bond formed because of him actually allowed their joint effort at this moment to unleash a terrifying combat power where one plus one was far greater than two!

That Meteorite Empire Dou Huang General, who was originally complacent and thought he had grasped the other party’s weakness, instantly fell into an unprecedented desperate situation! Facing the crazy pincer attack of two experts of the same level who were in perfect sync, he could not even organize a decent resistance and was already in perilous danger, retreating step by step!

”I am a Peak Dou Huang, who dares to kill me, who can kill me!?” His whole body erupted with intense energy again, and his whole person expanded as if stuffed with countless souls.

But at the moment of transformation, Ziyi and Yun Yun would not stop their offensive means. Sharp sword Qi tore through his protective Dou Qi! Violent lion claws shattered his armor! In just a few breaths!

This arrogant Dou Huang expert was already covered in wounds, his aura withered, his eyes filled with shock and despair! His transformation was not very refined, and in the lightning-fast battle between Dou Huang experts, he was caught in a flaw.

Finally, accompanied by Yun Yun’s sword piercing the heart, which contained endless killing intent! And Yun Ziyi’s claw shattering the skull, which condensed majestic power! This Meteorite Empire Dou Huang General, without even being able to let out a scream, was cut down on the spot by the two Empresses who attacked in anger!

The corpse, like broken grass, fell powerlessly from the air and smashed heavily into the yellow sand below, stirring up a cloud of dust. A generation of Dou Huang experts, thus... fell!

Medicine Lady lifted her eyes, but saw that the Dou Huang’s soul seemed to be drawn by something, blankly pulled away from the spot. As expected... it was them. It seems, speaking of this, to complete the performance, they would not even spare their own minions?

150 This is the Forbidden Land of the Mistress. With the Meteorite Empire’s Dou Huang General being cut down by the joint efforts of Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, the outcome of this war, which had originally seemed stalemate and tragic, no longer had any suspense.

The balance of high-end combat power underwent a devastating tilt. What happened next was much more logical.

Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, these two peerless Dou Huang experts, like reapers on the battlefield, advanced hand in hand, and began a precise and efficient ”spot-killing” of those Meteorite Empire Dou King Experts who had lost their backbone and whose military morale had already scattered.

Facing the joint strangulation of the two Dou Huangs, the remaining seven Dou Kings could not organize any effective resistance at all, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, falling one after another.

When the last Dou King Expert, with a face full of terror and despair, was torn to pieces by Yun Ziyi’s claw, the morale of the Meteorite Empire’s army finally completely collapsed!

The remaining thousands of soldiers, like headless flies, threw away their helmets and abandoned their armor, fleeing in all directions, only hating that their parents had given them two fewer legs.

Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, holding their status, did not kill these routed soldiers to the last one. After all, Dou Huang experts had their own pride; slaughtering these ordinary soldiers who had lost their will to fight was meaningless.
