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

185: Section 185Although she had never truly killed anyone with her own hands, she brandished her sword bravely at this moment.

Xiao Yan was not to be outdone. Her black tight-fitting outfit snapped in the night wind, and Dou Qi surged around her, her momentum as powerful as a rainbow.

With a delicate shout, she brandished the xuan heavy ruler, like a dragon emerging from the sea, unstoppable.

Every swing carried the power to split mountains and cleave rocks.

For ordinary low-star Dou Practitioners, whether it was their flesh and blood or their fine iron weapons, everything crumbled like rotten wood under the edge of her ruler, instantly falling apart.

Xiao Yu followed closely behind her two younger sisters, especially Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan’s use of the xuan heavy ruler still left quite a few openings, all of which were covered by this eldest sister guarding the flanks.

Nalan Yanran, as a Nine-Star Douzhe, naturally targeted the high-star Dou Practitioners.

The young lady lightly tapped her jade feet on the ground, and cyan, wind-attribute Dou Qi swirled around her.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed into five incredibly solid cyan longswords, emitting a suffocating and terrifying pressure.

The One-Star Great Dou Master saw this and his expression changed drastically. He wanted to intervene and stop her from unleashing this astonishing Dou Technique, but a cloud of white appeared before him.

Yun Xiancheng appeared like a divine dragon, suddenly emerging from the mist. Holding a sharp longsword, the blade flashed with chilling coldness.

His movements were like lightning, his sword momentum like a rainbow. The longsword in his hand effortlessly sliced across the throat of the Great Dou Master. The action was so fast it was dazzling; the man had no time to react.

”I am much stronger than before,” Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but say.

After eating the medicinal pill given by his master, apart from his Realm improving, his Dou Qi also gained a trace of dragon-tiger strength, making him faster and stronger.

Long before this, he could easily kill Great Dou Master mercenaries, and now he could kill them in a single strike.

”I just wonder if I can compete with ordinary Dou Ling mercenaries?” He thought to himself, holding his longsword horizontally, and smiled coldly at the Dou Masters: ”Want to pass? Ask my sword first.”

”Wind Spirit Fractal Sword.”

Just then, Nalan Yanran’s cold, clear voice echoed faintly in the night sky like a goddess from the nine heavens.

As her voice fell, the five cyan longswords that had condensed her Dou Qi also descended from the sky, carrying irresistible power, and slashed fiercely into the group of Dou Practitioners not far away.

”Boom——!!”

The longswords cleaved several powerful high-star Dou Practitioners in two on the spot. Blood splattered everywhere, limbs flew, and the scene was extremely tragic.

The aftermath of the Dou Technique’s explosion swept out like a gale, causing a small-scale blast that turned the already chaotic scene into an even greater, messy disaster.

Heavy snow poured down, Dou Qi danced wildly. Amidst the noisy battlefield, only Xiao Xun’er’s figure flashed, vanishing from the spot, and when she reappeared, she was quietly standing before her guard, Shadow.

”Shadow, greets the Young Miss.” Shadow, seeing Xiao Xun’er suddenly descend, paused for a moment, then bowed respectfully, her posture humble.

”You saw everything that happened just now, didn’t you?” Xiao Xun’er parted her red lips, her tone calm and indifferent, yet carrying an unquestionable majesty, completely different from the quiet and shy demeanor she usually showed in front of Yun Xiancheng.

Hearing this, Shadow lowered her head even further, her slender neck almost buried in her collar, and could only respond in a low voice: ”Yes.”

”Yun Xiancheng is the person I, Xiao Xun’er, am tied to in this life. You must keep this firmly in your heart.”

The young lady’s voice was cold and clear, carrying a hint of undeniable majesty. Only now did she reveal the nobility and pride hidden within the direct bloodline of the Ancient Clan.

”Shadow understands, but...” Shadow lifted her head slightly, wanting to say something but stopping, ultimately unable to hide the faint dissent in her tone.

”I already know what you are thinking.” Xiao Xun’er seemed to have insight into Shadow’s thoughts, gently shaking her head, her tone tinged with helplessness: ”You are always stubborn and refuse to admit defeat easily.”

Xiao Xun’er sighed and patted Shadow on the shoulder, saying: ”I allow you to take the time to see him. However, remember, do not hurt him in the slightest. If anything happens to him...”

At this point, Xiao Xun’er’s tone suddenly turned sharp. Although she didn’t state it explicitly, the threat was already obvious.

Hearing this, Shadow’s delicate body trembled slightly, and cold sweat seeped from her forehead, as if her secret thoughts had been completely seen through by Xiao Xun’er, leaving her nowhere to hide.

She hurriedly bowed again, her head touching the ground, and said firmly: ”Shadow swears on her life that she would never harm the Young Master!”

Gazing at Shadow’s fearful appearance, a subtle, amorous thought quietly arose in the depths of Xiao Xun’er’s heart: Should I package this little maid of mine and gift her to my little gentleman as well?

Thinking of this, her small face flushed slightly, and she walked with light steps, looking at Shadow with a meaningful expression. It was just... doing this would blur the lines between master and Servant.

The little gentleman would certainly be happy to enjoy the blessings of having multiple partners, and as for those secular rituals, what did they matter?

Forget it, why think so much? The little gentleman doesn’t mind, and I don’t mind either. As for that master-Servant distinction...

Perhaps, this master-Servant status could become a different kind of fun between her and the little gentleman. The Second Miss of the Ancient Clan walked back to the chaotic battlefield with a blushing face.

At this moment, the Jiale Family market, the bustling noise of the past had long since vanished, leaving only a shocking mess.

Scarlet blood and shattered flesh were like splashed ink, staining the white snow. Looking around, there were severed limbs and remains scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.

The ordinary merchants who were shouting and selling their wares during the day had already fled in panic at the beginning of the battle.

Now, the only ones remaining in this market, which had become a Shura purgatory, were a few Xiao Family Young ladies stained with blood, and the calm-looking youth, Yun Xiancheng.

Yun Xiancheng carelessly flicked his finger against the blade of his sword. The residual blood drops on the blade rose in response, dripping into the muddy ground in mid-air, and were instantly swallowed by the white snow, as if they had never existed. The sword edge remained as clean as new.

The dozen or so Dou Masters who had been arrogant just a moment ago were like earthen chickens and clay dogs before him, unable to withstand a single blow. They had all been casually slaughtered by him, leaving only a dozen headless corpses lying neatly on the cold, snowy ground.

The four Young ladies had also cleared out the remaining enemies here, slaughtering all those Dou Practitioners who had stubbornly resisted. The once prosperous and noisy market was instantly transformed into a terrifying, eerie hell on earth.

”Hang these... all up.”

Yun Xiancheng had a faint smile on his lips. His gaze turned to Xiao Yu, and he ordered calmly, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, understanding in her heart. It seemed that Yun Xiancheng really had a soft spot for the ”public display” method of Jia Nan Academy, and was even somewhat addicted to it.

Yun Xiancheng’s peripheral vision caught sight of Xiao Xun’er walking over gracefully, her gait light and her expression normal.

Presumably, she had gone to see that loyal Servant, and was likely comforting and persuading her, warning her not to act rashly and hurt herself.

Xiao Xun’er nodded obediently, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yun Xiancheng’s handsome face.

In her mind, she couldn’t help but picture the scene of herself and Shadow serving him together. Thinking of this, her pretty face couldn’t help but flush with a moving rosy glow, adding a touch of shyness and charm.

062 Remarkable Battle Results

When the Xiao Family’s raid team returned in triumph, the clansmen who participated in the combat were all wounded and covered in injuries.

Compared to the overwhelming destructive power of Yun Xiancheng’s team, the clash between the rest of the Xiao Family and the Jiale Family and the Giant Shark Mercenary Group could be described as arduous, far from the ease and comfort Yun Xiancheng displayed.

In this raid, the Xiao clansmen basically traded injury for injury, life for life. Relying on the momentum of a surprise attack and the numerical advantage on the local battlefield, they barely achieved such tragic results.

”In this battle... we lost thirty-two brothers.”

The Xiao Family’s Second Elder held the casualty report, his face somber, his tone desolate, and his words carried a trace of grief that could not be concealed.

”Although there were losses, the battle results are remarkable. We killed over a hundred enemies in this battle, including a dozen or so Dou Master-level experts.” The Xiao Family’s First Elder stroked his beard, a look of gratification appearing on his aged face. Clearly, he was quite satisfied with these results stained with blood.

Looking around, the three elders and the Patriarch Xiao Zhan were all carrying wounds, whether light or heavy, which showed how intense the battle had been.

Ya Fei wore a red dress, her figure graceful, and she had been standing to one side the whole time, her beautiful eyes darting around, looking forward to the return of Yun Xiancheng.

Beside her was the Great Dou Master-level guard provided by the family—a woman over forty, with an ordinary appearance and a sturdy build.

The sturdy woman was also covered in blood-stained armor at this moment, clearly injured, and the guard team following behind her was also all wounded, their morale appearing slightly low.

”Miss Ya Fei, fortunately, I did not fail the mission. The task has been completed.”

”Although many brothers were lost this time, the number of enemies killed is countless.”

”You have all worked hard.”

Ya Fei acted with elegance, nodding in return. Parting her red lips slightly, she said in a soft, gentle voice, ”When we return later, there will be plenty of Healing Medicine. As for the brothers who died in this battle, all pension compensation will be handled generously and favorably.”

”I just don’t know how my good grandson-in-law is doing now?” The First Elder stroked his beard and said with a hint of worry, ”That marketplace is, after all, their most heavily guarded place, and it even has a Great Dou Master holding the fort. Xiancheng going there... it is truly worrying.”

”Elder, that statement is incorrect. A mere Great Dou Master, what is there to worry about? I am very confident in my son-in-law. How about you and I make a bet, First Elder?” Xiao Zhan, upon hearing this, remained calm and composed, saying happily, his tone filled with trust in Yun Xiancheng.

”I bet that my son-in-law will certainly be unharmed and will absolutely bring everyone back safely. How about it?” The First Elder, upon hearing this, glared at Xiao Zhan in annoyance, puffing out his beard and blowing his mustache as he said, ”A bet? I won’t make a bet with a guy like you! I only trust that my grandson-in-law will definitely be able to properly take care of my granddaughter; you don’t need to prattle on here!”

Just as the two elders were bickering, the person Ya Fei had been eagerly awaiting finally came into everyone’s view. Amidst the snow-filled sky, several figures were slowly walking through the snow, approaching from a distance.

Looking closely, it was none other than Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yan, one on the left and one on the right, affectionately holding onto Yun Xiancheng’s arms.

Xiao Mei, like a little kitten, was clinging charmingly to Yun Xiancheng’s back, her little head poking out from behind him, playfully blinking her eyes.

Xiao Yu walked slightly behind and to the side of Yun Xiancheng, looking a bit reserved. Her fair, jade-like fingers were gently tugging at the corner of Yun Xiancheng’s clothes, her head lowered, as if afraid that the other sisters would notice her girlish thoughts.

Xiao Xun’er had taken out a round fan painted with bamboo leaves at some point and stood gracefully to the side. Her beautiful eyes were always as gentle as water, focused intently on Yun Xiancheng, and as they shifted, they were filled with deep affection.

The Young ladies surrounded Yun Xiancheng like stars around the moon. Their clothes were spotless, without a single trace of blood.

The group chatted and laughed, their expressions relaxed. Looking at them, they seemed like lovers strolling in the snow, full of affection. Who could have associated them with having just experienced a bloody slaughter?

Seeing this, Ya Fei could no longer suppress the worry and longing in her heart, her beautiful, radiant eyes filled with surprise. Ignoring the cold and her own composure, she lifted her skirt and trotted over, leaving a trail of clear footprints on the snow. Arriving in front of Yun Xiancheng, Ya Fei stood on her tiptoes and gently wrapped a warm scarf around Yun Xiancheng, her concern overflowing.

”You’ve worked hard, little brother. This trip really worried me to death.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Xiancheng’s lips curled slightly, revealing a warm smile. He stretched out his arm and naturally pulled Ya Fei into his embrace, and right in front of the Young ladies beside him, he kissed her without caring about anyone else.

After a long while, their lips parted, and the two slowly separated. Ya Fei’s cheeks were flushed, looking delicate and dripping with charm. Her eyes shifted, but she dared not look at the other Xiao Family Young ladies beside her, appearing infinitely shy and alluring.

”I’m jealous! Mei’er wants one too!” Xiao Mei said from behind Yun Xiancheng, her arms wrapped around his neck.

”Then Yan Ran wants one too.” Nalan Yanran kissed Yun Xiancheng on the side of his face.

Seeing this, the Young ladies seemed to start an arms race, all crowding around Yun Xiancheng to kiss him. This scene made the shadow peeking from the side watch with intense envy. A familiar feeling of blood rushing to her heart made her almost spit out a second round of blood.

”Alright, alright, stop messing around for now. We still need to prepare to face the enemies coming soon.” Yun Xiancheng rubbed the heads of his women and said with a gentle smile.

Just as the Xiao Family was satisfied with their results and preparing to evacuate according to plan, on the other side at the Jiale main residence, Gale Bi heard the news that several of his important marketplaces had been attacked by the Xiao Family. His vision went dark, and he almost fainted. Even the Giant Shark Mercenary Group leader, upon hearing of his losses, was furious.

”These guys are quite bold... but unfortunately, in the face of true strength, this little cleverness has come to an end.” The Dou Ling Leader clenched his fist and said. Then he looked at the Dou Ling Alchemist sitting to the side.

The Alchemist looked somewhat similar to the previous Alchemist who had been turned into dried meat. Perhaps they were father and son.

”They killed and humiliated my child... This grudge must be avenged.” The Dou Ling Alchemist looked coldly at the direction of the Xiao Family outside the window.

With two Dou Ling Experts holding the fort, it was clear that no matter what the Xiao Family did, they were just ants on a string and couldn’t cause much trouble. At this moment, cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the blizzard grew stronger, as if declaring the upcoming...

”There are not many days left this year; I must get rid of these grasshoppers before the year ends.” The Dou Ling Leader thought to himself. In the new year, this Wutan City would become his Giant Shark Mercenary Group’s territory. He wanted to be the controller of this region, and perhaps... reach the Dou Wang Realm.

(Author Note: At the end of the road, build a divine bridge. The Wutan City arc is almost over. Afterward, I will write about the daily life with the Young ladies and enjoy the little cakes that should be eaten. Then it will be the Qingshan Town arc. This arc shouldn’t be very long, and there won’t be many Young ladies. (I will control the length of each arc based on the number of Young ladies.))

063 Enemy Gathering. The counterattack from the Giant Shark Mercenary Group and the Jiale Family was fierce and as swift as thunder.

Around the Xu hour (7 PM - 9 PM), the marketplace was raided. By midnight, the losses on all sides had been counted, and the remaining vital forces were quickly assembled, sharpening their blades, waiting only for revenge.

Looking around, there were still more than thirty Dou Master level experts, and the number of Dou Practitioner level personnel reached over three hundred. It could be said that their troops were strong and their strength was formidable.

Not to mention, counting the Giant Shark Mercenary Group’s own retainers, those hired by the Jiale Family with heavy rewards, and the guards recruited by that Dou Ling Alchemist, the Great Dou Master level experts gathered this time actually numbered as many as nine!

Added to this were the two Dou Ling Experts personally holding the center army. With such a lineup, looking at the tiny place of Wutan City, it could be called crushing everything, enough to easily wipe out any force in the city.

They were filled with supreme confidence. They knew the movements of the Xiao Family and the Mittel Family in recent days like the back of their hands, certain that they had only gained one Great Dou Master of combat power.

Although the Xiao Family had four Great Dou Masters on the surface and the Mittel Auction House had recently added one retainer, in total, it was only five Great Dou Masters. How could they be compared to their own side or compete with them? It was simply a daydream! With such a belief in victory.

The Dou Ling Leader, wearing sturdy armor and holding a sharp blade, held his head high and strode forward, inspecting his soldiers with high spirits. At this moment, he felt heroic, and the quiet years of his first half of life flashed slowly through his mind like a revolving lantern.

From an unknown ordinary mercenary, struggling to survive on the edge of life and death, experiencing countless baptisms of blood and fire, he finally rose with difficulty, until he took charge of a mercenary group, and finally broke through the shackles, promoted to the Dou Ling Realm, and then controlled the life and death of this town...

Such a life trajectory, how glorious, how perfect, it could simply be called a legendary epic! He looked far into the distance at the direction of the Xiao Family mansion. He couldn’t wait to slaughter everyone in the Xiao Family who dared to resist. To completely bring this city into his palm and turn it into his own backyard. At this moment, inside the Xiao Family courtyard.

Yun Xiancheng looked calm, gently stroking the ancient mysterious iron sword box in his hand. Beside him, surrounded by beautiful Young ladies, they sat next to each other, nodding lightly, chatting in low voices. The rest of the Xiao Family members had already begun to evacuate the place in an orderly manner, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.

”Dear sisters, are you really unwilling to evacuate first? For the upcoming battle, Xiancheng alone is enough. You staying here will only increase the risk.” Nalan Yanran’s eyes shifted, looking at the several Xiao Family sisters present with a hint of concern, and she persuaded them softly.

”Since Sister Yan Ran is not leaving, how could we sisters flee from the battle and leave alone?” Xiao Mei shook her head lightly and said with a firm tone.

”Being able to fight side by side with Senior Brother and defend against foreign enemies together, this kind of experience of sharing life and death is truly rare. How can we give up halfway and leave regrets?” Xiao Yan also said righteously and emphatically. Xiao Xun’er and Xiao Yu sat side by side on the other side. Hearing this, they also nodded lightly, smiling like flowers. Hearing Xiao Yan’s passionate words, Xiao Xun’er nodded gently and said softly:
