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

225: Section 225The Meteorite Empire Dou Huang General, who had been closely monitoring the entire battlefield with eyes as sharp as a hawk, finally noticed two human figures at the edge of the battlefield below who seemed somewhat ”out of place”—Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan!

”Hmm? Humans?”

The Dou Huang General’s brow furrowed as he immediately sensed something was wrong.

In the territory of the Snake-People Clan, especially on this brutal battlefield frontline, how could two humans with seemingly low cultivation appear? And... looking at their path, they clearly intended to enter the Snake-People Clan’s positions!

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

After all, besides this explanation, he really couldn’t think of any other more reasonable motive.

He couldn’t possibly believe that the commander of the opposing Snake-People Clan was a human kid whose cultivation was only at the level of a Great Dou Master, could he? And that he had personally come to the front lines to ”experience the battlefield”? That would be the joke of the century!

”If I can capture these two humans...” A flicker of greed and ruthlessness flashed in the Dou Huang General’s eyes. ”Using them as leverage will surely make that lioness hesitate! In the coming battle, our side will definitely hold the absolute advantage!”

Once this thought took root, it could no longer be suppressed! Almost instinctively, he made his decision! ”Now is the time!”

The Dou Huang General let out a low roar, his body like an arrow leaving a bow as he suddenly dove from the heights, aiming directly at Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan below!

However, acting at the same time as him was an even faster, more rapid purple stream of light! It was Yun Ziyi, who had remained vigilant the entire time!

”Stop her!” Seeing this, the Dou Huang General was not alarmed but delighted, instead ordering the Dou Kings behind him!

At the same time, he ignored everything else and continued rushing toward Yun Xiancheng at an even greater speed! ”As I thought! They really are your disciples!”

Seeing Yun Ziyi’s unhesitating and even somewhat anxious interception, the Dou Huang General became even more certain of his guess and couldn’t help but laugh wildly!

”Stupid lion! I’ve already seized your greatest weakness!”

As he frantically surged his Dou Qi, he sneered, ”Next, I only need to continuously attack these two precious disciples of yours! To protect them, you will inevitably be distracted! You will inevitably reveal an opening! When that time comes... it will be your day of death!”

He seemed to already see the dawn of victory, the beautiful sight of cutting down this powerful lioness! For slaying a Dou Huang, what treasures would those existences bestow upon him!?

However, just an instant before his attack was about to reach Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan!

A voice that was cold, noble, yet contained boundless fury and drifting killing intent suddenly echoed across the entire battlefield like thunder from the nine heavens: ”That is my disciple! You—are not allowed to harm him!!!”

Accompanied by this sharp cry, an indescribable, terrifying pressure that seemed capable of freezing the soul swept over like a tide.

Immediately after, a graceful figure appeared before the Dou Huang General without warning, as if by teleportation! It was a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a Moon-white Cloud-patterned Robe, with an ethereal and transcendent aura like a celestial maiden from the nine heavens! It was none other than—Yun Yun!

She had somehow appeared on this battlefield as well!

At this moment, her beautiful face was cold and stern, fury burning in her lovely eyes. The Green Longsword in her hand, carrying the terrifying power to tear through space, slashed mercilessly at the dumbfounded Dou Huang General, who had completely failed to react!

Simultaneously, Yun Ziyi had also broken free from the brief entanglement of the seven Dou Kings and arrived in an instant!

Two peerless powerhouses of unmatched elegance, both having reached the Dou Huang realm, actually formed a perfect pincer movement at this moment! And...

Although it was their first time fighting side by side, an indescribable tacit understanding seemed to exist between Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi.

Their attacks—one sharp as the wind, the other overbearing as fire—seemed to have vastly different styles, yet they complemented each other perfectly. This was perhaps... precisely because they both cared for the same person in their hearts—Yun Xiancheng!

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

The Meteorite Empire Dou Huang General, who had been gloating just a moment ago thinking he had grasped the opponent’s weakness, was instantly plunged into an unprecedented desperate situation!

Facing the frantic, soul-synchronized pincer attack of two experts of the same level, he couldn’t even organize a decent resistance and was soon in grave danger, retreating step by step!

”I am a Peak Dou Huang, who dares to kill me? Who can kill me?!”

Violent energy erupted from his entire body again, and his whole being expanded as if stuffed with countless souls.

But in the instant he transformed, Purple Wing and Yun Yun did not stop their offensive. Sharp sword qi tore through his protective Dou Qi!

Violent lion claws shattered his armor! In just a few breaths of time!

This once-arrogant Dou Huang expert was now covered in wounds, his aura withered, and his eyes filled with shock and despair! His transformation was very unrefined, and in the lightning-fast combat between Dou Huang experts, his flaw was immediately seized.

Finally, accompanied by Yun Yun’s heart-piercing sword strike filled with endless killing intent and Yun Ziyi’s skull-crushing claw condensed with surging power!

The Meteorite Empire Dou Huang General couldn’t even let out a scream before being cut down on the spot by the two angry Empresses!

His corpse fell powerlessly from the sky like a broken piece of straw, slamming heavily into the yellow sand below and kicking up a cloud of dust. A generation’s Dou Huang expert had... fallen!

Medicine Lady raised her eyes, only to see the Dou Huang’s soul being pulled away from its spot as if drawn by something. ”As expected... it’s them. It seems that to complete their Performance Quota, they won’t even spare their own minions?”

150 This is a Lady’s Forbidden Ground

With the Meteorite Empire’s Dou Huang General cut down by the combined efforts of Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, there was no longer any suspense regarding the outcome of this originally deadlocked and tragic war.

The scales of the high-end combat power had undergone a devastating tilt. What followed happened much more naturally.

Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, these two peerless Dou Huang experts, were like reapers on the battlefield. Advancing together, they began a precise and efficient ”targeted elimination” of the Meteorite Empire’s Dou King Experts, who had lost their leader and whose morale was already crumbling.

Facing the joint strangulation of two Dou Huangs, the remaining seven Dou Kings couldn’t organize any effective resistance at all. Like lambs to the slaughter, they fell one after another.

When the last Dou King Expert was torn apart by Yun Ziyi’s claw while his face was filled with horror and despair, the morale of the Meteorite Empire’s army finally collapsed completely!

The remaining thousands of soldiers were like headless flies, discarding their armor and fleeing in all directions, only wishing their parents had given them two extra legs.

Given their status, Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi did not hunt down these routed soldiers to the last man. After all, Dou Huang experts had their own pride; there was no meaning in slaughtering ordinary soldiers who had lost their will to fight.

Furthermore, although these routed soldiers had low cultivation, if they were intent on fleeing and scattered, it would indeed be a time-consuming and laborious task to find and eliminate them one by one in the vast desert.

There would always be some lucky ones who could escape with their lives.

However, fate seemed to have already written the final elegy for these routed soldiers.

In their panicked flight toward the empire’s border, they ran straight into the Snake-People Dou Master who had just finished clearing out the enemy’s auxiliary troops and baggage train, killing several thousand people in total!

”Hahaha! Well met! You’ve come at just the right time!” That burly Snake-People Clan Chiefs looked at the group of routed soldiers before him, who were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring, and laughed wildly with joy instead of surprise.

”Could... could all of this also be within that Young Master Yun’s calculations?! Brilliant! Truly, his plans are flawless!”

As he looked toward Yun Xiancheng now, the admiration in his eyes had reached an insurmountable level! He practically viewed him as a god! ”Stop talking nonsense! We can’t let them escape!” The more mature and steady Snake-People Clan Chiefs didn’t have as many sentiments, his eyes overflowing with killing intent. ”Kill all these invaders right here! Completely break the claws of the Meteorite Empire’s continued aggression!”

Without needing many words, the Dou Kings, brimming with fury, charged into the scattered enemy army like tigers into a flock of sheep, beginning a... nearly one-sided slaughter.

Above the Snake-People Holy City, the lingering smoke and the scent of blood were gradually dissipating.

The battle was over. The Snake-People were busy cleaning up the battlefield, treating the wounded, and celebrating this hard-won victory. Meanwhile, Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi, the two greatest contributors to this battle, had no heart to participate in these trivial matters.

The two tall and curvaceous beauties landed in front of Yun Xiancheng with synchronized movements, as if they shared a single mind. That level of tacit understanding was almost like that of sisters who had lived together for many years.

Yun Yun put on a stern face, looking at Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan beside him with feigned severity.

She took a step forward, reaching out her jade-like hands to gently pinch both of their cheeks, her tone carrying a hint of reproach:

”You two little rascals! You’re too bold! How could you put yourselves in such a dangerous situation?! What if that Dou Huang just now...” Before Yun Ziyi could chime in, Yun Xiancheng hurriedly took all the responsibility onto himself and defended,

”Master! Master, please calm your anger! This... this was my idea! I insisted that Yan’er must be at the front lines to experience the cruelty of the battlefield; it’s vital for her tempering! This matter... has nothing to do with Ziyi, please don’t blame her!”

Hearing Yun Xiancheng defend her like this, Yun Ziyi’s nervous little face immediately turned slightly red, her heart filled with sweetness.

She couldn’t help but reach out and gently hug Yun Xiancheng’s waist, looking up to give him a quick kiss on the lips as a reward. ”You!”

Yun Yun looked at Yun Ziyi’s girlish behavior, shook her head helplessly, and said to her,

”You are a dignified Dou Huang expert after all, you should have at least some of the bearing of an elder! How can you be so... soft-eared, coaxed by just a few words from him?” However, even as she spoke, when Yun Yun’s gaze fell on Yun Xiancheng and Xiao Yan, the severity in her eyes had already dissipated, replaced by...

...a hint of relief and surprise.

How long had it been since they last met? This kid Xiancheng had actually broken through to a Seven-Star Great Dou Master?! And Yan’er had even stepped into the threshold of a Four-Star Dou Master!

This cultivation speed... was truly appalling!

It seemed these days of tempering had yielded remarkable results; the sight was truly heartening.

Yun Xiancheng looked at these two ”elders”—both beautiful in their own distinct ways and deeply caring toward him—and felt a wave of warmth in his heart. He opened his arms and pulled them into a hug, one on each side, feeling their softness and fragrance as he said with a smile,

”Alright, alright, Master, Ziyi, I know you’re worried about me. But right now, there’s something more important to do.”

He slightly loosened his embrace, a serious expression appearing on his face. ”I still need to protect the Snake-People Medusa Protagonist to help her smoothly complete her bloodline evolution. I’ll... excuse myself for a moment.”

With that, the Dou Qi Wings on his back suddenly unfurled. He took Xiao Yan’s hand and, without looking back, turned into a streak of light, flying straight toward the deepest part of the Snake-People Holy City—the palace where Queen Medusa was in seclusion!

”Eh? No... you child...” ”Wait for us!”

Yun Yun and Yun Ziyi were stunned by the sight, then shared a look of both annoyance and amusement. They also unfurled their Dou Qi Wings and followed close behind.

”How much longer will it take for this Queen Medusa to become our sister?” Yun Yun asked while flying. ”It might take a while longer.”

”Hmm.” Yun Yun pondered for a moment before saying firmly, ”Since she will be... our sister in the future, I naturally cannot stand by and watch.”

Yun Xiancheng’s heart stirred, and he asked tentatively, ”Master... your arrival this time, I suppose... is for Pill King Gu He’s business? Did he ask you to come and help him obtain that Green Lotus Core Flame?”

”Yes.” Yun Yun didn’t hide it and nodded.

”That’s a coincidence.” Yun Xiancheng showed a ”difficult” look. ”To be honest, Yan’er’s cultivation also requires this Green Lotus Core Flame as a foundation.”

Hearing this, Yun Yun didn’t hesitate for even a second and immediately declared her stance. ”Then what’s there to choose? Naturally, Yan’er comes first!” In her heart, the favor to Pill King Gu He was nothing compared to her own disciple’s future; there was no need to weigh them.

Although she had promised Gu He to escort him to the Tagor Desert, she considered that she had already safely delivered him here, so the favor was repaid.

As for how he would try to obtain the Heavenly Flame later, that was none of her business. Outside the palace where Queen Medusa was in seclusion, the atmosphere was murderous.

Several sneaky figures were using the cover of night to stealthily approach. It was Pill Master Gu He and the two Jia Ma Empire Dou Master Enshrined Experts he had invited!

They took advantage of the moment when the battle outside had just ceased and the guards were at their most relaxed to actually sneak to the edge of this core forbidden area!

However, just as they prepared to slip into the palace to find an opportunity to seize the Heavenly Flame, a small figure radiating cold killing intent appeared before them like a ghost, blocking their path.

It was Hua She Er!

Holding a poisoned gray dagger, she looked coldly at the three uninvited guests, her voice devoid of emotion. ”This is the Queen’s palace forbidden area! Trespassers...”

151 Xiao Yan didn’t like this feeling.

”Um... Miss Snake-Person, please calm down!”

Gu He hurriedly squeezed out a friendly smile, attempting to negotiate.

”We didn’t intend to intrude; we actually have important business to discuss with Her Majesty the Queen to reach a... win-win agreement. Could you please make it convenient and pass word along?”

Hua She Er was completely unmoved, mechanically repeating the same words as her killing intent grew sharper. ”Trespassers... die!”

”Hmph! Brother Gu He, why waste words with these uncivilized snake-people!” An impatient Dou King Expert nearby couldn’t help but speak up.

”She may be a Peak Dou Wang, but she’s only one person! With the three of us working together, why should we fear her? Let’s just fight our way in!” Gu He’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he no longer hesitated, nodding his head.

The auras of the three burst out instantly as they attacked Hua She Er from three sides! However, just as they were about to engage in a fight with her!

An even more terrifying and domineering Dou Huang pressure descended abruptly like a mountain!

Yun Ziyi’s figure appeared in front of Hua She Er as if teleporting! She didn’t even make any extra movements, simply waving her hand casually! ”Boom!”

A vast wave of purple Dou Qi swept out. Gu He and the other two were struck heavily, flying back with screams and crashing to the ground, spitting blood!

”Trespassers... die.”

Yun Ziyi’s cold gaze swept over the three pathetic figures, her voice low and filled with unquestionable authority. ”Dou... Dou Huang?! The Snake-People Clan... actually has another Dou Huang?!”

Gu He struggled to crawl up from the ground, looking at the purple-haired woman with the terrifying aura, his face filled with unbelievable horror!

He couldn’t understand how the Snake-People Clan, who rarely interacted with the human world, could invite such a powerful Dou Huang expert to guard them. ”Damn Yun Yun... that ungrateful woman,” Gu He couldn’t help but curse inwardly, ”If she had been willing to help, how could we have fallen into such a...”

...passive situation!”

As if hearing his thoughts...

Another figure landed quietly in the area. It was Yun Yun.

She looked at the pathetic Pill Master Gu He with no expression, saying seriously, ”Mr. Gu He, talking behind someone’s back is not the behavior of a gentleman. As for helping... I stated before that my favor ended when I escorted you here. I will not interfere in what happens after.”

Caught red-handed, Gu He knew he was in the wrong; his face turned red, and he didn’t dare argue with Yun Yun further. He turned his gaze toward Yun Ziyi, suppressing his injuries as he squeezed out a flattering smile.

”This... Dou Huang lady, I am Pill King Gu He, a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. If you would be so kind as to let us leave, I am willing to offer a sixth-grade medicinal pill as a gift. What do you say?”

While he was speaking, he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye of a young man holding a young girl.

Their figures, like ghosts, passed directly through Hua She Er’s defense and flew straight into Queen Medusa’s palace behind her!

And that seemingly loyal guard, Hua She Er, actually... ignored it?! She didn’t even try to stop them?! Huh? Wait?!”

Gu He was stunned, his mind filled with question marks.

This... what was going on? Who on earth was that young man entering the Queen’s palace?!”

”A sixth-grade medicinal pill?” Yun Ziyi sneered, looking at Gu He as if he were an idiot, her tone full of disdain.

”Or die.”

Yun Xiancheng held Xiao Yan, moving like lightning through layers of curtains as they flew straight into the depths of Queen Medusa’s palace.

The interior of the palace was surprisingly vast, with high ceilings and dragon-carved pillars; every part exuded a luxurious and mysterious exotic style, likely built to accommodate Her Majesty the Queen’s massive snake tail.

Behind the palace, there was another world—a vast Underground Lake with rippling green waves, and a lush small island standing quietly in the center of the lake.
