Chapter 26: A Decision of Life and Death

  "I advise you not to move, Miss Xu. This is the kingdom's test technology, the Spirit Lock Gun. If you're struck by its energy bullets, no matter how strong your spiritual power is or how high your rank, you will temporarily lose all abilities and become an ordinary person," Bai Feifei said with a cold sneer.

  A hint of sarcasm curled at the corner of Sanbao's mouth, and her voice was calm, "What, do you want me to submit to them and become your sister-in-w? Or will I go to Mount Wushan with your fiancé?"

  Bai Feifei's expression suddenly changed, her voice sharp as she retorted, "Shut up! You filthy woman! You seduced my people, and that’s a decration of war against the Bai family! The Bai family of the royal capital will never let this go!"

  "Can you speak for the Bai family of the royal capital?" A cold voice came from above, followed by the sound of wind, and a figure in white descended from the sky. Wang Suifeng nded beside Sanbao.

  Sanbao was momentarily stunned, and her mind kicked into overdrive, "Again, descending from the sky! Did this guy come by airpne?"

  Wang Suifeng's expression was indifferent, and his tone carried an overwhelming pressure, "I’ll ask you again, do your words represent the Bai family of the royal capital?"

  Bai Feifei's face changed slightly, and her hand holding the gun trembled. She opened her mouth but could not retort. She knew she could not represent the Bai family of the royal capital—she couldn’t, and neither could Bai Feiyu. The real decision-makers in the Bai family were their father, Bai Hongxuan.

  However, Bai Feifei’s confidence wasn’t just in her family background. She was born with a Divine Holy Spirit Root, making her a Holy Spirit Ability user.

  Holy Spirit Ability users wield healing, purification, and enhancement powers. While they could not directly kill enemies, their presence significantly boosted the combat capabilities of a team. They also carried the passive skill of a Harmonious Aura, which could be amplified by using spiritual power.

  As the name suggests, Harmonious Aura was a field of peace. It calmed those affected by it, extinguishing anger and erasing hostility. A Holy Spirit Ability user of mid-level sixth rank or higher could even make people and beasts under the aura’s influence obedient, reaching a hypnosis effect.

  Bai Feifei, a first-rank Holy Spirit Ability user, could dispel evil spirits, break curses, and temporarily enhance the strength of her companions. In the noble circles of the royal capital, she was revered as the "Saintess" because of this gift, and her status within the Bai family was unparalleled.

  Bai Feifei activated her unique Holy Spirit Ability, the "Harmonious Aura." The soft white light that always surrounded her expanded, quickly enveloping Sanbao and Wang Suifeng.

  Sanbao felt the battle intent she had been building vanish instantly. She no longer felt the need to do anything to these two men. She sat down, stopped channeling spiritual power, and the two water dragons she had summoned dissipated into vapor, carried away by the wind. Bai Feiyu and Chen Gang also felt the influence, and the fire dragon in the air vanished. The vines that had sprouted from the trees around them disappeared without a trace.

  But Wang Suifeng seemed unaffected by the Harmonious Aura. His aura remained sharp and unyielding, even exuding a suffocating pressure that made Bai Feifei’s heart tighten.

  Her fingertips grew cold, and her heart raced, but she still forced herself to remain composed, maintaining the st shred of dignity of a noblewoman. She took a deep breath and spoke in a firm tone, "Young Master Wang, are you intervening on behalf of the Hai City Wang family in this matter? What is the connection between this woman and your family?"

  Wang Suifeng smiled slightly, then suddenly reached out and pulled Sanbao to his side, his voice nguid, "She is my woman, the future daughter-in-w of the Hai City Wang family, and the future head of the Medicine King Valley."

  Sanbao quickly tried to pull away from his arm. "Let go! Who's your woman?"

  "That's right, she’s not your woman. She’s my woman!" Tang Mingli appeared out of nowhere, standing beside Sanbao. His expression was solemn, and his tone was gentle but firm, "Young Master Wang, please stay away from my woman."

  Wang Suifeng narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp as he gnced at Tang Mingli, while Tang Mingli remained calm, unafraid.

  "You’ve suffered," Tang Mingli said slowly to Sanbao, his voice carrying a hint of apology, "I’m te, sorry."

  As he spoke, he pulled out a white handkerchief from his sleeve and offered it to Sanbao to wipe the dirt from her face.

  Sanbao spped his hand away, coldly saying, "You two stop deluding yourselves. I don’t even know you!"

  Wang Suifeng smirked, a mocking smile pying at the corner of his lips, while Tang Mingli sighed helplessly.

  Bai Feifei watched this scene, feeling like she was watching a farce, unable to ugh. Seizing the opportunity, she attempted to mediate, "Since Miss Xu has already injured them, it’s a lesson for them. How about we each take a step back? We’ll apologize to Miss Xu, I’ll take them with me, and everyone can go their separate ways. What do you think?"

  "You hurt my woman and still want to leave unscathed?" Wang Suifeng’s gaze turned icy, "You’re thinking too simply."

  Bai Feifei's heart sank, and she snapped, "What do you want?"

  Wang Suifeng casually uttered two words: "Pay with your life."

  Before the words had even left his mouth, the凝雪剑 (凝雪 Sword) flew out suddenly, cutting through the air with a cold, swift fsh of swordlight. It pierced Bai Feiyu’s throat with deadly precision.

  The凝雪剑 returned to Wang Suifeng’s hand, circled once before flying towards Chen Gang behind Bai Feifei, embedding itself in his chest.

  "You!" Bai Feifei trembled with fury. She never imagined that the prestigious Young Master of the Hai family would kill someone without warning, instantly ending lives.

  She shakily raised her gun and pulled the trigger.

  Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Bai Feifei shot as she retreated, hoping to escape.

  Her aim was terribly poor. Wang Suifeng sidestepped with ease, dodging all the incoming bullets.

  Bang! The st bullet. Bai Feifei aimed at Sanbao.

  The energy bullet whistled through the air toward Sanbao. Tang Suifeng tackled her, rolling to the ground. The bullet struck his back with a metallic cng, and a bell fell from his waist.

  Bai Feifei discarded the Spirit Lock Gun and turned to run.

  However, Wang Suifeng’s sword would not give her a chance.

  With a whistling sound, the凝雪剑 tore through the air again, this time piercing Bai Feifei’s body, pinning her to the ground.

  Bai Feifei didn’t even have time to scream before she lost all life.
