Chapter 858 Kill Them All
Bai Xue's voice, amplified by her Demon Qi, possessed extreme penetrative power. The weaker Spirit Police felt their blood and qi churn within them, a surging urge to vomit blood.
Even the stronger Spirit Police, though not feeling the urge to vomit blood, found it equally unbearable, their inner power wildly surging out of control.
Both sides, locked in an inextricable battle, ceased their movements at Bai Xue's words, their gazes turning towards Bai Xue, who hovered in the air wearing a mask.
Both factions had already fought to a frenzy, their eyes red with killing intent, which was why no one had noticed Bai Xue breaking through the barrier and entering. Now, upon realizing her arrival, some Spirit Police showed expressions of joyful surprise, while others frowned, clearly uncomfortable with her presence.
"Sister Bai Xue! Quickly, kill these traitors!"
"Yes! Kill them! Don't let a single one escape!"
As the young woman's words fell, another Spirit Police officer immediately spoke, their voice equally anxious, as if fearing that a moment's hesitation from Bai Xue would allow all their opponents to flee.
Bai Xue did not immediately act. After all, she hadn't yet grasped the situation, and to strike rashly would be highly imprudent.
"Vice-Captain. . . Vice-Captain Zhou is dead, and not only Vice-Captain Zhou, but Captain Luo is dead too!"
A Spirit Police officer spoke with a trembling voice. As his words left his mouth, not only did Bai Xue's expression subtly shift, but even Yang Haoran's couldn't help but change slightly.
"Bai Xue, you are no longer affiliated with the Spirit Police. Why wade into these troubled waters? Lecheng's Administrative Chief ordered your arrest just a few days ago—have you forgotten that so quickly?"
From the other side, a middle-aged man spoke to Bai Xue. He seemed deeply wary of her, thus daring not to make a move, instead attempting to dissuade her with words.
As the middle-aged man spoke to Bai Xue, five Spirit Police officers quickly converged on his position, standing behind him, vigilantly observing every movement on the scene. It seemed the six of them were a single faction, and the middle-aged man was likely their leader.
The matter brought up by the middle-aged man had always rankled Bai Xue. Even though the Administrative Chief was now dead, she still felt deeply uncomfortable about it. As the middle-aged man mentioned it again, she couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly.
The Spirit Police officers who had initially wanted to urge Bai Xue to act quickly suddenly hesitated, biting back their words, some even showing expressions of shame.
All the Spirit Police knew about the matter the middle-aged man spoke of. Though many of them disagreed with the Administrative Chief's actions, they were powerless to change his decisions.
"That old ingrate of an Administrative Chief, I naturally haven't forgotten that incident. However, I still have some affection for this place. You've turned everything upside down here, even killing Captain Luo and Vice-Captain Zhou. If I hadn't known about this, it would be one thing, but now that I do, how can I simply stand by and do nothing?"
Bai Xue spoke in a low, grave voice. As her words faded, she prepared to move and apprehend these individuals, but before she could act, the middle-aged man spoke again.
"I'd advise you, it's best you don't get involved in this. If you do, it won't just affect you; the one behind you will also be implicated."
As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man glanced towards Yang Haoran's position below. It was obvious who Bai Xue's "one behind you" referred to.
Bai Xue, who had been about to make her move, paused her actions upon hearing the middle-aged man's words. She couldn't help but feel a sudden apprehension, as she didn't want Yang Haoran to be implicated in this matter.
Everyone else present now also followed the middle-aged man's gaze and spotted Yang Haoran standing at the edge of the barrier below.
Yang Haoran's presence brought joy to some and worry to others. Some Spirit Police officers, who had already fallen into despair, felt hope reignite in their hearts upon seeing Yang Haoran. This was because the Lecheng Underworld Division and their Lecheng Spirit Police had always maintained a cooperative relationship. With such a massive upheaval occurring, Yang Haoran surely wouldn't stand idly by.
Those who worried were, naturally, the six individuals led by the middle-aged man.
"God Envoy Yang, our Administrative Chief will soon dispatch troops to attack Lecheng, which is why we were sent to remove some obstacles. We implore you, God Envoy Yang, to show mercy and not interfere in this matter. Once our Administrative Chief takes Lecheng, your benefits, God Envoy Yang, will certainly be considerable."
In his view, if Yang Haoran agreed, then this mission could be concluded successfully. But if Yang Haoran refused, then this matter would likely become extremely difficult. He wasn't clear on Yang Haoran's strength, but he was very aware of Bai Xue's power. He knew he was absolutely no match for Bai Xue, and if a real fight broke out, their side would certainly be at a disadvantage.
This man was furious. The mission was on the verge of completion, yet at this critical moment, Yang Haoran suddenly appeared, obstructing their task and potentially costing them their lives here. How could he possibly feel at ease?
"God Envoy Yang, please, you absolutely must not agree to him! If you do, our Lecheng will truly be finished!"
A Spirit Police officer, his expression anxious, shouted towards Yang Haoran at the edge of the barrier. From his reaction, it was clear that he genuinely hoped Yang Haoran would not agree to the other party. As for whether he was simply afraid of death, or truly concerned for Lecheng, that remained unknown.
Yang Haoran paid no heed to the Spirit Police officer. His gaze landed on the middle-aged man, and he asked with a smile.
"Heh heh, I wonder which city's Administrative Chief you are serving?"
Regarding Yang Haoran's question, the middle-aged man hesitated slightly at first, but he did not conceal anything, and then spoke his reply.
"Ancheng."
Although he only answered Yang Haoran with two words, those two words were enough.
"Ancheng, huh."
Yang Haoran murmured to himself, seemingly contemplating something, then gently shook his head.
The middle-aged man had been closely observing Yang Haoran's every move. Seeing Yang Haoran shake his head, although he didn't know what Yang Haoran was thinking, a bad premonition arose in his heart.
"Bai Xue, just kill them all."
Yang Haoran said to Bai Xue, as if discussing a trivial matter.
The moment these words were uttered, the Spirit Police side collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Conversely, the faces of the other faction all turned grim, some even revealing expressions of terror.
"God Envoy Yang, have you truly considered this? If you kill us, once our Administrative Chief successfully takes Lecheng, do you think he will let this matter rest?"
The middle-aged man spoke rapidly, fearing that any delay would make it too late. To achieve his goal, he even resorted to threats.
Yang Haoran remained indifferent to the middle-aged man's threats, as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's heart was filled with intense anxiety. He wanted to say something more, but then Bai Xue transformed into a giant white snake and lunged towards the middle-aged man and his companions.
The middle-aged man's face drastically changed. In such a situation, how could he waste time with empty words? He immediately dodged with the fastest possible speed.
He knew his strength was inferior to Bai Xue's. If he were to clash directly with her, he would undoubtedly die. He simply didn't have the ability to confront Bai Xue head-on, so he immediately dodged with the utmost speed.
He successfully evaded Bai Xue's strike, but the few individuals behind him weren't so lucky. One of them was swallowed whole by Bai Xue on the spot. Though the others didn't suffer such a desolate fate, they were sent flying by Bai Xue's powerful blow, each spitting out fresh blood and suffering considerable injuries.
The disparity in strength between the two sides was considerable; thus, they were routed in a single strike. Among the few, only the middle-aged man possessed the greatest strength, but his power, at best, was only slightly superior to Vice-Captain Zhou's. Compared to Bai Xue, he was still far too weak.
"God Envoy Yang, the Lecheng Administrative Council is completely finished! Collaborating with our Ancheng Administrative Council is the only way out! What you're doing now is cutting off your own escape route!"
But to his utter despair, Yang Haoran remained unmoved.
