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

92: Section 92Upon hearing this, Jia Xingtian burst into loud laughter, the sound echoing in the wind: ”Hahaha! That’s right! Young people should be this frank!”

Yun Xiancheng’s straightforward and unreserved response made the royal sisters so bashful they wished they could hide.

If they were not standing before thousands of soldiers and forced to maintain royal dignity and decorum, they would have long since been unable to resist landing their annoyed ”little pink fists” upon Yun Xiancheng.

Just at this subtle and slightly humorous moment.

Suddenly, the gazes of countless soldiers below were drawn in unison.

They saw a stunning Beauty clad in cyan armor, her expression solemn, an icy aura radiating from her body, stepping through the void step by step.

Every step she took seemed to land on an invisible staircase as she slowly descended from the horizon.

As she approached, an indescribably powerful confidence, like an invisible ripple, quickly permeated the entire army formation, suppressing the previous tension and unease.

”Dou Zong!” Someone could not contain themselves and exclaimed in shock, ”It is a Dou Zong!”

In this Jia Ma Empire, a Dou Zong was a legend that had not appeared for a long time, the peak that countless people looked up to.

At this moment, the appearance of this cyan-armored general instantly ignited the blood of all the soldiers, low murmurs surging like a tide, and morale was greatly boosted.

Old Jia gazed at the Green Savage walking through the air, his eyes filled with complexity and emotion.

He muttered: ”Dou Zong... this Realm, I do not know how many geniuses’ spines it has broken, or how many people’s lifespans it has exhausted.”

He thought of the Old Jia Ma people of his generation; it seemed that not a single one had been able to cross this chasm to achieve the Dou Zong Realm.

As for himself, trapped at the Peak Dou Huang Realm for many years, his vitality now fading, he was like a candle in the wind, and he feared his days were numbered.

He thought again of the previous Sect Master of the Cloud Mist Sect, what was his name? Yun Shan? After the Cloud Mist Sect had a new Dou Huang, he followed the sect’s tradition and entered a ”death seclusion.”

He reckoned that, most likely, he would end up like the past Sect Masters, eventually being exhausted to death in the seclusion chamber.

The Green Savage moved with light steps and finally stopped beside Yun Xiancheng.

She nodded slightly at him, and in those cold, clear eyes, a trace of imperceptible tenderness flashed.

Her red lips parted slightly, her mouth moving; although soundless, it was as if she were asking in the most intimate way: Does this version of me still catch your eye? Am I still... beautiful?

Yun Xiancheng responded with a gentle nod, his eyes filled with appreciation and affirmation.

Immediately following, a white figure and two purple figures arrived on wings; it was Yun Yun along with the Big Lion and Little Lion. Like three streaks of light, they landed steadily beside Yun Xiancheng, forming a defensive stance on his left and right.

The soldiers were more familiar with Yun Yun, the former Sect Master, and seeing such iconic figures of the Cloud Mist Sect appear to support this war pushed the atmosphere of the entire army formation to a new climax, the whispers and the sound of armor rubbing together converging into an excited torrent.

Although there was no verbal exchange between them, that invisible, powerful military aura had already condensed silently, like a sharp sword about to be unsheathed. Yun Xiancheng turned his head to look at Night beside him.

He reached out his hand, and under the gaze of everyone, gently took her soft, boneless jade hand.

He gazed at her and spoke softly, his voice light but clearly reaching Yao Ye’s ears: ”With this, the army’s morale is ready to be used, my Her Majesty the Empress.”

”Then... I should set off as well.” His tone was firm, carrying a hint of determination for the upcoming journey, ”To do what I must complete.”

Having said that, Yun Xiancheng spread the cloud wings behind his back; those wings, which seemed to be formed from clouds, shimmered with a faint light under the sun.

Guided by the Green Savage, with Yun Yun and the Big Lion accompanying him like left and right protectors, the four of them soared into the sky, turning into four streaks of light and speeding toward the distant horizon.

Leaving behind the seething army formation below, as well as Old Jia and the royal sisters, watching their receding figures. ”I am about to die.”

Jia Xingtian looked at Yun Xiancheng’s back and said slowly to his two great-granddaughters.

”Our family only has you two lone seedlings left... In the days to come, you must learn to share and help each other.” ”Grandfather.”

Gu Yue still wanted to say something.

”No need to say anything else, Your Majesty, take revenge for Jia Ma.” Upon hearing this, Yao Ye’s eyes became firm.

”Then let us set off, to the Izumo Empire, and take revenge.”

As Yao Ye’s orders were passed down one by one, the Jia Ma Empire’s army slowly began to move.

Upon learning that Yun Xiancheng was preparing to lure and kill the Dou Lings of the Izumo Empire, Yao Ye’s ambition grew much larger.

186 I am from Izumo

As a great nation famous throughout the Northwest Continent for its use of poison, its imperial capital naturally looked like a place of Poison Masters, with black as the main color scheme. Xiao Yi Xian was draped in a black robe, her expression gloomy.

Her fingers gently stroked her white hair, her heart often recalling those few months of carefree but happy life from over a year ago. But people change...

Xiao Yi Xian looked at herself in the bronze mirror.

At this moment, she had a head full of white hair, a haggard face; where was the happy young girl from back then?

”The Calamity Poison Body is born with sin; I do not deserve to have feelings.” She finally sighed, though she did not know what she was thinking.

”It has been over a year; time will smooth over everything... Xiancheng, I hope you have forgotten me.” Afterwards, she picked up a poisonous substance and began to chew.

The cultivation of the Calamity Poison Body is to constantly consume poison; the more and the more potent the poison she consumes, the stronger she becomes.

She was a smart person; while training in the Izumo Empire, through the constitution of the Calamity Poison Body, she had managed to become the number one disciple of the current generation in the Myriad Scorpion Gate, the number one sect in Izumo.

This title made it convenient for her to collect all kinds of poisons to taste, and her strength also advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the late stage of Dou Ling.

She raised her head and looked toward the direction of the Jia Ma Empire. That was a hometown she could not return to.

At this moment, five streaks of light suddenly flew from the horizon and struck hard against the city gate of the Izumo Empire’s majestic imperial capital.

Only a huge explosion was heard ringing around the city gate, kicking up smoke and dust that filled the sky. ”The architecture here is gloomy and ugly.”

Yun Xiancheng said slowly, his red clothes like blood, looking like living blood under the black city wall. ”What do we do?”

The excitement on Green Savage’s face did not diminish, but she was currently wearing a bamboo hat, with a black cloth covering her beautiful face, looking as if she intended to show herself.

Her cyan armor emitted a flowing light, yet it was exceptionally magnificent, not looking like someone who would show their face. The Big and Little Lions were currently imitating Green Savage’s attire, their entire persons appearing unassuming.

”We will handle the Dou Huangs, Yaner will handle the Dou Wangs, and Chenger will kill those below the Dou Ling Realm.” Yun Ziyi said softly.

”We are blocking the gate this time... what’s the fun in only blocking the city entrance?” Yun Xiancheng looked up at the tall city gate.

”If we are going to do it, we should just tear down this city gate and block them at the Izumo Imperial Palace!” ”This method is good!”

Green Savage waved her hand, using her initial mastery of spatial power combined with the Dou Qi of a Dou Zong to directly sever the huge city gate, which was fifty zhang high and over ten zhang thick.

They then carried this city gate and flew all the way toward the Izumo Imperial Palace.

”Where did this Dou Zong come from? You are taking a dump on the head of the Izumo Empire!”

A Two-Star Dou Huang spread his wings and flew up, but knowing the terror of the visitors, he did not attack, only shouting threats from the side. ”It’s you!?”

Yun Yun had not disguised herself, so she was naturally recognized by the Dou Huang of the Izumo Empire.

”Scum of the Jia Ma Empire, what do you want to do!?” Yun Yun said slowly:

”Izumo killed the Emperor of Jia Ma a while ago. My disciple felt that if the invaders can come, so can he, so he came here to issue a challenge to the younger generation of the Izumo Empire.”

Yun Yun’s beautiful eyes glanced at Yun Xiancheng, and finally said: ”A battle of life and death, continuing until death.”

Yun Xiancheng looked at the Dou Huang and smiled confidently:

”Senior, I came here just to see what the younger generation of your Izumo Empire is made of.”

”I am a Seven-Star Dou Ling and consider myself invincible within the same Realm. For those below Seven-Star Dou Ling, I will suppress my Realm to the same level to fight your young talents, so as not to win unfairly.”

”For those at Eight or Nine-Star Dou Ling, there is no need to suppress my power to fight me, because I am invincible within the same Realm.” Seeing Yun Xiancheng’s confident statement, that Dou Huang was immediately furious and cursed:

”Arrogant brat! The heroes of Izumo are as numerous as carp crossing the river; how dare you call yourself invincible within the same Realm?”

Subsequently, another mid-stage Dou Huang of the four or five-star level and several Dou Masters arrived. After hearing of Yun Xiancheng’s actions, they were also quite angry. ”Hehe, then you can try.”

Two Dou Huangs and several Dou Masters—this lineup was still not enough to resist Yun Yun and the others.

But at this moment, a thick poisonous mist drifted over, and a middle-aged Peak Dou Huang slowly walked out from the mist.

”The Grand Elder’s decree: such a duel is acceptable.” The visitor was the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

He looked at Yun Xiancheng and said:

”Young Sect Leader of the Cloud Mist Sect, I know you are very confident, but you must be clear: although the Cloud Mist Sect is the number one sect in Jia Ma, it is not strong enough in the Northwest Continent.” ”Being unable to produce a Dou Zong is Cloud Mist’s tribulation, and it is also your fate. Those of you who cannot produce a Dou Zong, what ability do you have to train a young person who dares to call himself invincible within the same Realm?”

The Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect said coldly:

”You are just a frog at the bottom of a well; you have never seen the vast Cloud Pass.”

Yun Xiancheng stared into his eyes and said slowly:

”I am Izumo’s tribulation. Dying under my sword is the fate of your Izumo’s younger generation.”

This provocation made the opposing Dou Huangs and Dou Wangs furious. The initial Two-Star Dou Huang threw out a swarm of poisonous insects; these insects covered the sky and the earth, even more so than a sea of locusts, but they were slashed open by a single sword strike from Yun Yun, instantly killing half of them.

”Attacking the younger generation, it seems the Poison Masters of the Izumo Empire truly have no morals.” Yun Yun flicked her long sword and said to the group of Dou Huangs:

”If you ask me... battles between the same Realm might not be limited to the juniors.”

”I, Yun Yun, am also here waiting for a duel with you Dou Huangs; a battle of life and death, continuing until death.” Yun Yun looked at the Two-Star Dou Huang.

That Two-Star Dou Huang sneered. Although the Realm was six stars away from the Cloud Mist Sect Master, the gap between each star in the Dou Huang stage was not that large. He had confidence in himself and also knew that the Cloud Mist Sect Master had progressed rapidly in these three years, so her foundation must be unstable.

Clearly, it was not impossible to fight! ”Then come! Cloud Mist Sect Master!”

The two Dou Huangs flew above the clouds, and one could clearly perceive the massive energy fluctuations, causing the celestial phenomena to change vaguely. The clouds were torn apart, and black clouds covered the sky, yet one could see sword light splitting the black clouds, shocking a sea of blood to rain down.

Yun Xiancheng stood in place, accompanied by Yun Ziyi and Yun Yan, while Green Savage sat on the grand chair she carried with her, intimidating the yet-to-appear Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect.

As time passed, the news of Yun Xiancheng challenging the Dou Lings and Great Dou Masters of the Izumo Empire quickly spread to other parts of the Izumo Empire, and countless people were enraged by his arrogance.

Great Dou Masters, Dou Lings, core disciples of various families, and disciples cultivated by various sects from all over began to gather toward the Izumo Imperial Capital, just to make Yun Xiancheng, this Young Master of Yun Lan from the Jia Ma Empire, understand.

The heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing the river; you are just a second-generation Sect Master acting arrogantly in the Jia Ma Empire, how dare you be so arrogant?

Of course, Yun Xiancheng would not know what their purpose for coming here was; he had no interest in understanding what a group of dead people were thinking.

”I have already announced the decree to the whole country; Dou Lings and Great Dou Masters will come one after another to duel you.”

The Emperor of the Izumo Empire, a Three-Star Dou Huang, slowly rose into the sky and said to Yun Xiancheng: ”Young Master of Yun Lan, your death is near.”

The Izumo Emperor’s face was the most livid; he was directly blocked at the gate of the Imperial Palace by Yun Xiancheng, and the huge city gate was like a huge slap, fiercely striking the face of the royal family.

”Du Wan, you go and test his composition.” He opened his mouth and said to the commander of the palace guards.

A Peak Dou Ling, a strong man in armor around thirty years old, heard this, let out a loud shout, and killed toward Yun Xiancheng.

This Dou Ling used wide-open military killing moves, throwing a punch at Yun Xiancheng’s face. Yun Xiancheng did not dodge or evade, only gripping the long sword in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Xiancheng drew his sword, as fast as lightning. ”So fast!?”

The watching Dou Wangs of the Izumo Empire saw this sword strike and their expressions became solemn. At this distance, they could not dodge this sword strike at all.

Sure enough, only a sharp sound of metal clashing was heard. Even though the Dou Ling general’s arm was as hard as metal, it was still severed by the sword strike.

He fell backward in pain, but Yun Xiancheng did not let him go. Yun Xiancheng stepped forward, thrusting the long sword in his hand, piercing his throat.

Afterwards, with a nimble flick, he sent his head flying.

Three moves, and a Peak Dou Ling expert thus became a headless corpse, falling to the ground. ”Next.”

Yun Xiancheng’s red clothes were like blood, with blood slowly dripping from his sword. He looked at the surrounding Izumo Dou Huangs and spoke slowly. At this moment, these people’s expressions were extremely ugly.

Although that Peak Dou Ling general could not be considered the strongest, his Realm was there, and he had a chance to reach Dou Wang. But now, he died too quickly, as if he and the Young Master of Yun Lan were not on the same level.

The Izumo Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs were whispering, discussing Yun Xiancheng’s weaknesses.

But the Peak Dou Ling died too quickly, so they could not see any of Yun Xiancheng’s peculiarities.

They looked at each other; they did not really want to let their promising juniors go to their deaths to help those who came later understand Yun Xiancheng’s weaknesses. ”It seems the Izumo Empire is just like this.”

Yun Xiancheng stepped on the corpse of that Peak Dou Ling and said slowly:

”In this Izumo Imperial Capital, I come when I want and leave when I want.” ”The dignity of the royal family... cannot be trampled upon.”

The Crown Prince of the Izumo Empire, also a skilled Peak Dou Ling, saw the people of the Jia Ma Empire humiliating the national prestige like this, sighed, and said slowly. The Izumo Emperor’s face was gloomy and uncertain; he looked at his eldest son and urged:

”If you cannot win, come down; you are the future of the empire, you cannot die.” The Izumo Crown Prince nodded.

The Young Master of Yun Lan is not an ordinary person; he cannot be underestimated.

But he knew that this was the moment when someone needed to maintain the national prestige. He shouted loudly and came before Yun Xiancheng.

”I am the Crown Prince of Izumo, Nine-Star Dou Ling. I will suppress my Realm to the same level as yours; let’s see what you, the Young Master of Yun Lan, are made of!”

He was indeed an upright Poison Master; perhaps this is what the image of an emperor is like.
