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

182: Section 182Yun Xiancheng turned away and left the Xiao Family residence.

The tiny Medicine Lady suddenly looked up, appearing as if she had collapsed from exhaustion, leaning against the bridge of Yun Xiancheng’s nose, with crystal-clear saliva seemingly dripping from the corner of her mouth.

”Hehe, so comfortable... [Yao Chan Intimacy +10]”

She spoke while leaning against Yun Xiancheng’s nose in a daze.

Yun Xiancheng returned to the dressing room of the Mittel Auction House and took off the black robe he used for disguise.

Yun Xiancheng picked up the groggy Medicine Lady and toyed with her icy-colored undergarments with his finger.

She was groggy and didn’t resist in the slightest. The pocket-sized Medicine Lady felt like a toy doll.

Yun Xiancheng suddenly thought of the fairy and elf playstyles he had seen in his previous life... The pocket-sized Medicine Lady’s size seemed just right.

Just then, Xiao Mei came running into the Mittel Auction House, her face full of anxiety as she looked at Yun Xiancheng and blurted out:

054 Protect Xiao Yu and Xun’er

”Brother! Something’s wrong! Come quickly and help! Sister Xun’er and Sister Yu are being cornered and provoked!”

Yun Xiancheng, who had been leisurely teasing the unconscious pocket-sized Medicine Lady, suddenly changed his expression upon hearing this.

His playful look vanished instantly, replaced by a piercing chill. ”Lead the way!”

He stood up abruptly, swiftly tucked the pocket-sized Medicine Lady back into his pocket, and then grabbed Xiao Mei beside him. However, Yun Xiancheng didn’t choose to run normally; instead, he picked Xiao Mei up by the waist.

Dense cyan Wind-Attribute Dou Qi surged around him instantly. His body transformed into a cyan gale, bursting out with the force of a thunderbolt, heading straight out of the Mittel Merchant Guild.

”That way, that way!”

Under Xiao Mei’s urgent guidance, Yun Xiancheng crossed several bustling streets in the blink of an eye.

From a distance, he saw Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun Er standing back-to-back, each holding a weapon, surrounded by over a dozen ill-intentioned Dou Practitioners. The situation was critical.

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth, a hint of nervousness visible on her pretty face, but her eyes remained as firm as a rock. She tightly gripped the standard-issue longsword in her hand. The sword’s tip glinted with a cold light, pointing forward. Dou Qi surged around her as she prepared to fight to the death at any moment.

Even though her heart was filled with fear, she forced herself to maintain a surface-level calm, refusing to show any weakness to the enemy. In contrast, Xiao Xun Er looked solemn, her expression cold as frost. She emitted an aura that warned others to keep their distance, making people feel intimidated.

Deep within her clear eyes, a faint golden light flickered, as if an ancient mystery was about to awaken. She was clearly activating some secret technique in the shadows, preparing to break through the current predicament.

On the outskirts of those dozen or so Dou Practitioners stood two powerful Dou Masters with steady auras, both wearing the badges of the Giant Shark Mercenary Group.

These two Dou Masters stood like guards on either side of a richly dressed young man—Jia Lie Ao, the Young Master of the Jiale Family. Beside him was a young man in an Alchemist’s robe, appearing to be in his early twenties. This young Alchemist had a fair, somewhat feminine face.

His eyes held a hint of somewhat morbid fanaticism.

While still holding Xiao Mei and before his feet even touched the ground, Yun Xiancheng’s sharp eyes caught a black-clad figure charging into the fray like an arrow—it was Xiao Yan.

She gave a delicate shout, her petite frame exploding with incredible power as she sent an unsuspecting Dou Practitioner flying with a single punch. ”Jia Lie Ao! What exactly do you think you’re doing?! How dare you bring people to cause trouble for my Xiao Family!”

Xiao Yan glared with wide eyes and scolded angrily. Her usual soft and cute demeanor was gone, replaced by a heroic and spirited air. ”Bah, Xiao Yan of the Xiao Family. Have you forgotten the grudge from when you beat me up at the market last time? And that pretty-boy brother of yours? Tell him to—”

”—get out here and face his death!”

With two Dou Master experts guarding him, Jia Lie Ao became emboldened. His face contorted, and his tone was extremely arrogant.

”The incident at the market last time was clearly your own fault! My brother was merciful and spared your life. Why are you still being so persistent and ungrateful!?”

Xiao Yan wasn’t afraid at all; instead, she grew angrier. Her petite body erupted with incredible courage as she refused to back down an inch.

She resolutely retreated to the side of Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun Er, standing back-to-back with them to form a solid defensive line. For a moment, the Jiale Family’s Dou Practitioners were unable to advance a single step.

”You people of the Xiao Family have humiliated me time and again. Do you really think I, Jia Lie Ao, am a pushover!?” Jia Lie Ao’s face was distorted, his features twisted as if they were about to merge, as he roared at the top of his lungs.

”My hand! My hand was broken by you wretches! It took three whole months of recovery before it barely healed! This hatred is irreconcilable! Today, I will make you pay in blood to satisfy my resentment!”

He had clearly lost his mind due to the humiliation he suffered at the market last time. He only wanted to kill the three Xiao sisters to ease the hatred in his heart.

Meanwhile, the young Alchemist seemed indifferent to the tense atmosphere, instead looking at everyone in the field with great disappointment.

”Young Master Jia Lie, where is that exceptionally handsome Xiao Family disciple you mentioned? Everyone here is a girl.”

What kind of wild words was this young Alchemist spouting? ”Master Tian, please wait a moment. He will definitely show up.”

Hearing this, Jia Lie Ao’s spirits lifted, and he hurriedly bowed and scraped.

Just then, a breeze blew past, and Yun Xiancheng, surrounded by cyan Wind-Attribute Dou Qi, landed abruptly like a god descending to earth.

Still holding Xiao Mei, who was dressed in a peacock-blue skirt, his face was solemn and his eyes cold. He scanned the crowd like a wrathful guardian deity, an invisible...

...sense of pressure instantly enveloping the entire field.

”Senior Brother! You’re finally here!”

Seeing Yun Xiancheng descend like a god, Xiao Yan cheered excitedly, and her tense expression relaxed significantly.

”Phew... Oh my, Young Master, you really took your time this time. You really made me worry and feel so nervous.” The faint golden light deep in Xiao Xun Er’s eyes slowly dissipated, replaced by a relieved and relaxed smile.

She felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted and let out a long sigh, clearly feeling much more relaxed. ”He... he really came to help me.”

Looking at Yun Xiancheng’s tall and straight back, Xiao Yu felt a sweetness in her heart. Her tense heartstrings relaxed, and a mysterious sense of security welled up.

But someone’s reaction suddenly shattered the atmosphere—

”Oh! My god! It’s... it’s him! It’s really him! Such... such breathtaking Beauty, it’s as if a god has descended to the human world! My heart... my heart is almost stopping!”

The young Alchemist, the moment he saw Yun Xiancheng’s face clearly, looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His previously calm face instantly flushed red, and his eyes erupted with a near-obsessive light.

His body even trembled slightly, as if he were looking at the world’s most perfect work of art. Then, he spoke incoherently:

”Look! This is the true... the true peerless Beauty! You were right! No, you actually 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 butt with a smack. ”We’re breaking up, Jia Lie Ao.”

The muscles on Jia Lie Ao’s face twitched, and thick tears of humiliation flowed from his eyes.

The young Alchemist was completely immersed in his own world, staring obsessively at Yun Xiancheng while muttering incoherent praise:

”Beauty... no, you are simply... a gift from the heavens! A guide of destiny! I feel... I feel like I’ve spent my whole life searching for someone like you!

existence! To meet you at this moment is simply the happiest moment of my life!”

”Holy crap, no way. W-what’s going on?”

Yun Xiancheng was startled by the young Alchemist’s sudden enthusiasm. His wrathful guardian deity expression froze on his face, his mouth twitched, and the corner of his eye throbbed slightly.

Clearly taken aback by this overly ”passionate” young Alchemist, he subconsciously retreated to the side of the three Xiao sisters for safety. ”Er... it’s a bit... a bit uncomfortable.”

Xiao Yan was also made uneasy by the young Alchemist’s exaggerated reaction. She shrunk her neck and whispered:

”Hehe, it seems the Young Master isn’t quite used to such blunt passion. However, seeing him with that slightly embarrassed expression really has its own charm.”

Seeing this, Xiao Xun’er covered her mouth and chuckled again, a mischievous glint flashing in her eyes. She clearly found Yun Xiancheng’s awkwardness amusing. Xiao Yu, too, felt a bit nauseous from the young Alchemist’s sappy flattery. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on her sword hilt, her eyes wary...

...as she watched the excited young Alchemist.

Xiao Mei, having just gotten down from Yun Xiancheng’s arms, was filled with rage upon hearing the young Alchemist’s blatant praise. She pointed at his nose and scolded him unceremoniously:

”Hey! I’m talking to you! What nonsense are you spouting! You disgusting gay man, stop acting crazy here, it’s revolting!” Hearing Xiao Mei’s merciless scolding, the young Alchemist’s expression darkened instantly.

His previously obsessed look was replaced by gloom. He shot a cold glance at Xiao Mei and roared in a sinister tone.

”Ignorant brat! How dare you insult me so harshly! You must be tired of living! Young Master Jia Lie Ao! What are you standing there for?! Hurry up and move! Beat the women to death!”

055 The Might of Aura

A piercing cold wind carried goose-feather snow, wildly battering the world and letting out wails like sobbing.

Following the Alchemist’s cold command, the Jia Lie Family Dou Practitioners, who had surrounded Yun Xiancheng and his group like hungry wolves, moved. ”Hehe, little Beauty, just you wait.”

The Alchemist said this while staring greedily at Yun Xiancheng.

The other Dou Practitioner guards also took it as an order to attack. With distorted expressions, they brandished their weapons and lunged at the Young ladies.

However, the Xiao Family Young ladies, now anchored by Yun Xiancheng, showed no sign of fear. Their gazes were firm and their faces calm, like rocks in a storm; no matter how the wind blew or the waves hit, they remained unmoved.

Although these four Young ladies were only low-star Dou Practitioners, their identities and potential were far beyond what ordinary people could compare to.

Xiao Yan had the potential of a Dou Emperor; Xiao Xun’er was the Second Miss of the Gu Clan with the Gu Clan bloodline; Xiao Mei now showed the potential of a Dou Saint; and Xiao Yu was a student of the Jia Nan Academy. These Young ladies all possessed abilities far exceeding those of their peers.

Although a certain Xiao Yu, who didn’t want to be named, looked like she was just there to make up the numbers.

Facing these ordinary Dou Practitioners who had only ever touched Yellow Class Dou Techniques and Methods, this battle was destined to be a one-sided massacre from the start.

Before these Young ladies, these Dou Practitioners were like mantises trying to stop a carriage—completely fragile. Moreover, standing beside them was Yun Xiancheng.

His presence was like a stabilizing anchor, filling their hearts with a sense of security and confidence.

Under Yun Xiancheng’s encouragement and leadership, the Xiao Family Young ladies’ morale soared. Like tigers coming down the mountain, they erupted with startling combat power. Their movements were agile, their coordination seamless, and their weapons like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, heartlessly striking down the enemies.

Under the Young ladies’ fierce assault, the Jia Lie Family Dou Practitioners retreated step by step. Like straw blown over by a gale, they fell to the ground one after another, letting out pained wails.

For a moment, the tables turned. The Jia Lie Family Dou Practitioners, who previously held the advantage, were now being beaten by the Young ladies like stray dogs, unable to fight back.

”Damn it, you two, get in there! What are you still standing there for?!”

Seeing his subordinates fall like wheat being harvested, Jia Lie Ao began to panic. He roared in exasperation at the two Dou Masters who had been standing aside without moving.

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

Facing Jia Lie Ao’s urging and insults, the two Dou Masters acted as if they hadn’t heard a thing, remaining completely unresponsive. Only cold sweat continued to drip down.

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

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

The Dou Master’s body jerked violently. Then, from his seven orifices, bright red blood gushed out like a bursting dam. His eyes instantly went dull, and his body went limp like a kite with a broken string, collapsing to the ground. He had died on the spot.

The remaining Dou Master finally snapped out of it, his soul nearly leaving his body from fright. He trembled violently like a sieve. His legs gave out, and he fell directly to the ground, looking at Yun Xiancheng with a face full of terror and despair. ”So... such a terrifying pressure! This dragon, you are a dragon... or a tiger...”

”Don’t come over here, don’t come over here! Please, let me go! 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, scuttling backward, trying to get as far away from Yun Xiancheng as possible.

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

”Crushing a Dou Master to death just by the clash of auras? And scaring another into a breakdown?” As the Second Miss of the Gu Clan, Xiao Xun’er had seen countless experts since childhood and naturally possessed insight far beyond ordinary people. She saw through the intricacies of the clash between Yun Xiancheng and these two Dou Masters at a glance.

She was secretly shocked by Yun Xiancheng’s rapidly advancing strength, and at the same time, she became increasingly curious about him. ”He even crushed one into a breakdown, teehee, my Young Master is getting more and more impressive.”

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

Yun Xiancheng turned his head and noticed that his four delicate flowers were showing quite a bit of restraint during the battle. They didn’t seem to want to actually take lives, only knocking the enemies unconscious without delivering fatal blows.

He sighed inwardly. It seemed they were still flowers raised in a greenhouse; despite their great strength, they lacked sufficient decisiveness. Seeing the two Dou Masters he considered his trump cards—one dead and one useless without even making a move—Jia Lie Ao’s mental state completely collapsed.

He collapsed to the ground, his legs shaking uncontrollably. His eyes were filled with despair and fear, and he didn’t even have the courage to run anymore. Yun Xiancheng slowly took a step forward, the long sword in his hand glinting with a cold, sinister light under the moonlight.

He looked coldly at the Dou Master who had already gone mad. Without any hesitation, his sword fell, instantly severing the man’s head. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground red.

Then, Yun Xiancheng turned around, showing a gentle smile as he looked at Xiao Yan not far away and said softly:

”Yaner, you all are still a bit too soft-hearted. There’s no need to show mercy to those who want to harm you.” As he spoke, he gently patted Xiao Yan’s shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.

”To friends, we should be as warm as the spring breeze; to enemies, we must be as biting as the winter chill.” ”If we leave the warmth for our enemies, are we supposed to leave the winter for our friends?”

Yun Xiancheng’s words were like a sudden enlightenment, causing the Young ladies to fall into deep thought. Then, Xiao Yan seemed to make up her mind, her gaze becoming firm.

She took a deep breath, completely suppressing the hesitation and reluctance in her heart, and the power in her hands suddenly exploded.

056 Shredding the Dog-like Gay Man

After Xiao Yan exerted her power, her fist slammed into the chest of the Dou Practitioner opposite her. A crisp ”crack” 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 caved in, and blood sprayed wildly from his mouth as if it cost nothing.

His face was full of disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe he had been killed in a single blow by a serious Xiao Family girl.

It seemed those Xiao Family girls had indeed put in some effort before to avoid killing. ”You... you... why didn’t you advise them a bit later...”

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

He looked at Yun Xiancheng’s back, seemingly resentful that Yun Xiancheng had reminded the Young ladies now, causing him to suffer. Looking at his teammates who were unconscious around him, his heart was filled with deep annoyance:

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

But regret came too late. With endless remorse, the Dou Practitioner slowly closed his eyes and left this world forever. ”Whew, whew.”

Xiao Yan breathed deeply, trying to calm her racing heart. This was her first time killing someone with her own hands, and she still found it hard to accept, feeling a bit of panic and unease.

She hadn’t expected that she would actually kill a person.

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

”Brothers, stop fighting! Stop fighting! People are going to die if we keep this up!”
