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

376: Section 376That suffocating pressure.

”It’s fine.” Yun Xiancheng didn’t even turn his head, merely speaking in a voice so calm it was almost indifferent. ”Since I dared to chase after him, I naturally have the confidence to handle it.”

This simple sentence seemed to contain infinite magic, instantly smoothing over the panic and fear in the two women’s hearts.

They looked at the figure before them; he wasn’t particularly burly, yet at this moment, his back seemed incredibly reliable. A warm current known as a ”sense of security” slowly flowed through their bodies.

Dan Chen bit her lip and took an exquisite jade bottle from her storage ring, handing it forward.

”I have... some Rising Dragon Pills refined by my family. Although the side effects are significant, even a Dou Zun can forcibly increase their strength by one or two stars for a short time. You...”

Before she could finish, Cao Ying on the other side had also reacted.

She no longer hesitated in the slightest, directly taking off her storage ring and stuffing it into Yun Xiancheng’s hand.

”Inside are all my collections from over the years—medicinal pills, scrolls, armor... use whatever catches your eye! Just as long as you can kill this old fogey!”

Her voice regained its usual decisiveness and ruthlessness.

Feeling the still-warm ring in his hand, Yun Xiancheng couldn’t help but chuckle. He turned back, looked at the two girls’ pale but determined faces, and nodded. ”I appreciate the sentiment.”

He didn’t take Dan Chen’s pill, nor did he open Cao Ying’s storage ring. He simply placed the ring back onto Cao Ying’s slender finger. In the next moment, a forest-white flame emitting an extremely cold and eerie aura, like a slumbering giant beast, suddenly awakened within his body and surged—

”This is... the Bone Chilling Flame?!”

Mu Gu Old Man’s arrogant laughter came to an abrupt halt, replaced by endless shock and greed.

”That old fogey... he actually passed the Heavenly Flame to you?! Good! Good! Good! Truly, the heavens are helping me!”

However, before his voice could fade, an even more terrifying and vast soul pressure, like an awakening ancient god, descended from within Yun Xiancheng’s body!

Yao Chan’s figure perfectly merged with Yun Xiancheng! Three-Star Dou Zun!

In just an instant, Yun Xiancheng’s aura grew from a junior at the Peak Dou Zong level to a Dou Zun!

He ignored Mu Gu Old Man’s ghost-stricken expression and merely reached out his hands, gently pulling the already dazed Dan Chen and Cao Ying into his embrace.

”Hold on tight.”

Subconsciously, the two women pressed their bodies tightly against his chest.

They could clearly feel that strong, powerful heartbeat, that warm body temperature, and that overbearing, powerful aura sufficient to make heaven and earth lose their color.

Their previous shame and anger, and their recent fear, all transformed at this moment into a thick, inseparable emotion called ”attraction,” pounding wildly in their hearts.

Yun Xiancheng held the two peerless beauties and stepped through the air. Against the backdrop of the forest-white flames, he looked like a demon god descending upon the world.

He looked down at Mu Gu Old Man, whose face had changed drastically, with a cold smile on his lips. ”You were right. The real competition begins outside the arena.”

The moment his voice fell, an illusory and ancient blood-red longsword, seemingly carrying endless slaughter and resentment, appeared in his hand.

Without any wasted movement, he simply looked down and casually swung the sword! A blood-red sword qi silently sliced through space.

There was no earth-shaking roar, no world-destroying energy fluctuations.

That sword qi seemed to exist outside of this dimension, directly ignoring distance and defense.

The expressions on the faces of the seven or eight Hall of Souls Dou Zongs nearby were still frozen in shock and wariness.

Their heads flew into the sky in unison, the severed necks as smooth as mirrors, without even a drop of blood splashing out!

Their souls were completely strangled and devoured the moment they were touched by the sword qi, by the terrifying baleful aura from the Slaughtering Platform contained within! One sword strike, decapitating seven or eight Dou Zongs!

After finishing all this, the blood-red sword qi’s power did not diminish, and it landed lightly on Mu Gu Old Man.

Mu Gu Old Man, a Four-star Dou Zun, couldn’t even put up a decent resistance before he froze in place as if hit by a Body-Fixing Curse. His body suffered no physical damage, but he could clearly feel it.

His Dou Qi, soul, and even his vitality were being completely suppressed and stripped away in an incredible manner by a higher, more overbearing power!

”W-what the hell is this?!”

He discovered in horror that he was neither alive nor dead, neither dead nor alive, falling into an incomprehensible state of terror.

Immediately after, a towering, ancient, and massive decapitation platform, radiating endless blood and majesty, slowly emerged before his eyes. Dan Chen and Cao Ying leaned tightly into Yun Xiancheng’s embrace, watching this miracle-like scene in shock.

The indestructible spatial lock shattered inch by inch the moment Yun Xiancheng took his first step. The insufferably arrogant Dou Zun expert was like a lamb to the slaughter under his casual sword strike. Then came that terrifying Slaughtering Platform and the surrounding majestic Celestial Palaces.

At this moment, Yun Xiancheng seemed to be wearing an Imperial Crown, appearing incredibly holy. Just how many secrets did this man... still hide?

His power and mystery were like the most lethal poison, causing them to sink completely and irredeemably while feeling endless shock.

Mu Gu Old Man felt his soul being forcibly dragged by an irresistible force and pushed onto that blood-stained decapitation platform. The cold blade slowly fell.

At the last moment before his consciousness dissipated, he seemed to hear Yun Xiancheng’s indifferent and majestic sentence. Everything he had—his cultivation, his soul—would become nourishment for this Slaughtering Platform.

Chapter 466: Tang Huo’er Decides to Sneak a Bite

As Yun Xiancheng embraced the two peerless beauties with soft bodies and racing hearts,

Xuan Yi had already prepared fragrant tea and exquisite pastries under the stone pavilion in the courtyard, waiting with a loving expression. Her gaze swept over the three of them, and when she saw the two faces of Cao Ying and Dan Chen, which were almost identical...

...with a complex expression that carried both the relief of surviving a disaster and the shy adoration of a young girl in love.

This Pill Tower giant, who had lived for hundreds of years, couldn’t help but have a knowing, gratified, and slightly mischievous smile curl at the corners of her mouth. ”You’re back?”

Xuan Yi’s voice was so gentle it seemed as if it could drip water. She personally served hot tea to the three of them.

Her gaze, however, remained fixed on Yun Xiancheng, the doting and affection in her eyes almost overflowing into reality.

”Looking at you like this, I assume you had a very enjoyable time?” ”Enjoyable?”

Cao Ying thought of Yun Xiancheng’s desperate counter-kill, which was like a war god descending to earth.

And finally, of being held tightly in his arms along with Dan Chen, feeling that overbearing yet reassuring aura... Her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably again, and her seductive face was once more dyed with a flush of red as she retorted stubbornly:

”Senior Xuan Yi, stop teasing us! We... we almost didn’t make it back today!” ”Oh? Why do you say that?”

Xuan Yi asked with feigned surprise, but the smile in her eyes grew even richer. Dan Chen took over the conversation; although her voice was still soft,

it contained an unprecedented firmness and reverence. She looked at Yun Xiancheng’s profile, her clear, deer-like eyes seemingly twinkling with stars:

”It’s true, Senior. We... we encountered Mu Gu Old Man of the Hall of Souls. If not for Senior Brother Yun...” ”Mu Gu?”

Hearing this, the smile on Xuan Yi’s face finally faded a bit, replaced by a faint gravity.

”That old fogey actually came to Holy Pill City too? It seems the Hall of Souls is determined to get the Three Thousand Burning Flame this time. But... how did you escape from him? He should have had quite a few Hall of Souls experts with him, right?”

”Escape?”

The corners of Cao Ying’s mouth curled up uncontrollably into an arc that was both proud and slightly obsessed,

”Senior Xuan Yi, you underestimate Junior Brother Yun too much. We didn’t ’escape,’ but rather...” She took a deep breath and said word by word, in a tone that was almost like a proclamation:

”Instead, it was Junior Brother Yun. In front of me and Little Sister Dan Chen, with just one sword, he... slaughtered Mu Gu Old Man along with the seven or eight Dou Zongs he brought!”

”What?!”

Even with Xuan Yi’s steady temperament, hearing this, her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but widen, and her face showed an expression of unbelievable shock.

She stood up abruptly, walked a few steps to Yun Xiancheng, and placed her jade-like hands on his shoulders, looking him up and down carefully as if to confirm if he was missing any limbs.

”My precious baby, you... you’re not hurt, are you?”

She asked with concern, her voice carrying a slight, hard-to-detect tremble.

Mu Gu Old Man was a genuine Four-star Dou Zun. No matter how monstrous Yun Xiancheng was, he was only a Dou Zong. How could it be... Yun Xiancheng patted the back of her hand reassuringly and smiled:

”Grandmother, don’t worry, I’m fine. I just borrowed Master’s methods; it wasn’t my own skill.”

”So that’s how it is...”

Xuan Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, as if she had figured something out, the solemnity on her face vanished, replaced by a satisfied, cold smile.

”Hmph, it’s good that he’s dead! The Hall of Souls and my Pill Tower have always been irreconcilable enemies. Since that old scoundrel Mu Gu dared to come to Holy Pill City on the eve of the Pill Gathering...”

”...to run amok, he deserved to die! Since he died outside the city and didn’t alarm anyone, then we’ll treat this matter as if it never happened!”

Her attitude in handling this matter was decisive and domineering, fully displaying the style of a Pill Tower giant. After speaking, her gaze fell back onto Cao Ying and Dan Chen.

Seeing the looks in the two young girls’ eyes, which were almost ”glued” to her grandson, an idea instantly formed in Xuan Yi’s mind. ”Ying’er, Chen’er,”

She spoke with a smile, her voice full of warmth,

”I see that the two of you share a bond with Xiancheng. It just so happens that his courtyard is large and has many empty rooms. Why don’t the two of you move in starting today? This way, it will be convenient for you to discuss alchemy daily, and you can look out for each other. What do you think?”

”Ah? We... move in too?”

Hearing this, Dan Chen’s small face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. She subconsciously looked up, darting a quick glance at Yun Xiancheng,

Then, like a startled little rabbit, she quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding wildly. Living with him?

Does... does this mean she could see him every day from now on?

On the other side, Cao Ying’s reaction was much more direct. Almost without hesitation, she nodded in response:

”Sure! No problem with me! Thank you for the arrangement, Senior Xuan Yi!” No kidding!

After witnessing Yun Xiancheng’s subversive ’Wind and Fire’ miraculous technique and his domineering, peerless strength with her own eyes,

Cao Ying’s mind was now entirely filled with thoughts of how to thoroughly research this man, who was shrouded in mystery, from the inside out!

Being able to live next to him, getting the moon first by being close to the water—how could she refuse such a good thing? Thus, under Xuan Yi’s ’calculated’ arrangement,

The two most outstanding favored daughters of heaven from the Pill Tower’s younger generation were officially moved into the courtyard where Yun Xiancheng resided, almost like a packaged bonus.

However, when they excitedly followed the maid...

...to their rooms, which were arranged on either side of Yun Xiancheng’s master bedroom, they were stunned to find that things... didn’t seem as simple as they had imagined.

This courtyard, which appeared quiet and elegant, was actually... a bit too lively! ”Oh, have new sisters moved in? Welcome, welcome!”

A pleasant female voice, sounding gentle and kind yet slightly mischievous, came from the corridor of the courtyard.

Cao Ying and Dan Chen looked toward the sound and saw an exquisitely beautiful woman dressed in a plain white dress, with a temperament as gentle as water, walking toward them with a beaming smile.

The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with a clear and refined appearance. In her bright eyes, the light of wisdom and curiosity sparkled. ”Hello, sisters. My name is Xiao Yi Xian, and I am my husband’s... well, let’s say his physician.”

Xiao Yi Xian introduced herself generously, her gaze drifting over Cao Ying and Dan Chen with a friendly scrutiny. Then, before the two could respond, another more elegant and dignified voice rang out from behind the moon gate on the other side. ”Xiao Yi Xian, you’re teasing the new sisters again.”

A woman dressed in a light green cloud-patterned long dress, with a noble and graceful temperament, walked out slowly. Her appearance was also world-topplingly beautiful, with an innate air of nobility and softness between her brows,

”Sisters, don’t be restrained. My name is Nalan Yanran. From now on, we are one family.” Cao Ying and Dan Chen’s brains were now a bit overloaded.

Physician? One family? What was going on? But this was only the beginning.

While they were dazed, they heard a burst of silver-bell-like giggles. Two girls who looked almost identical and were equally beautiful rushed out of Yun Xiancheng’s room like two happy butterflies, throwing themselves directly into the arms of Yun Xiancheng, who had just entered the courtyard...

...”Husband, you’re back!” The girl on the left looked up and gave him a ”mwah” kiss on the cheek.

”Husband, we missed you so much!” The girl on the right was not to be outdone, standing on her tiptoes to leave a sweet kiss on his other cheek. These two were the sisters of the Han Family, Han Yue and Han Xue.

Then they saw Dan Chen and Cao Ying, two strangers, and stood frozen in place like statues.

Such a youthful and cute appearance was not the persona they presented to the outside world. A sense of social death filled their hearts.

And coming out with them was another pair of sisters who also looked very similar, one with a heroic and spirited temperament and the other with a cute and sweet one—the Liu...

...Qing and Liu Fei sisters.

”Ahem, Yue’er, Xue’er, there are guests here. Mind your manners.” Yun Xiancheng helplessly patted the two girls who were eager to hang onto him.

Where did their cold and aloof persona go? Honestly, they were just too relaxed in front of the sisters. Cao Ying and Dan Chen were completely petrified.

This... what was the situation? How... how did another four stunning beauties appear? And looking at their intimacy with Yun Xiancheng, their relationship was clearly extraordinary! However, the real ”critical hit” was still to come.

A fragrant breeze blew by as two women with completely different temperaments, yet equally stunningly beautiful, walked out together from a side room. One was small and exquisite but radiated a sharp and proud aura, like an unsheathed sharp sword;

The other was tall, wearing a fiery red martial outfit that perfectly outlined her provocative figure, her entire being filled with the confidence and flamboyance of a favored daughter of heaven.

”Tsk, it’s really lively today.”

Feng Qing’er, the Young Pavilion Master of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, sized up Cao Ying and Dan Chen with great interest, a playful smile on her lips. Beside her, Mu Qingluan, the genius disciple of the Starfall Pavilion, silently watched the scene of fluttering beauties,

That cold little face had no expression, but deep in her eyes was a calmness that had long since become accustomed to such things. Cao Ying and Dan Chen felt their worldview being completely overturned at this moment.

They stared blankly at the group of women surrounding Yun Xiancheng, which almost included all the top young female geniuses from the major powers of the Northern Region of Central State—this...

...”army of wives,” and their minds went completely blank.

This... what exactly was going on?

Could it be... all these women are... his... This thought made them feel dizzy.

Just then, a lazy yet supremely majestic mature female voice drifted out from the master bedroom. ”Alright, stop the noise outside. Cheng, bring the two new sisters in.”

Accompanied by this voice, a vast, sea-like pressure of a Dou Zun swept through the courtyard. Cao Ying and Dan Chen’s bodies instantly stiffened!
