Chapter 471: Unrivaled Within the Domain

To be precise, the bullets didn’t return to their magazines. Instead, they shot straight at every person who had fired!

The writhing vines went out of control, frantically wrapping around their user. They scraped across his entire body, and his sharp, ear-piercing screams cut through the air as blood streamed from his wounds.

This scene, practically a Miracle, was utterly horrifying.

Everyone’s eyes widened, their gazes focused on the girl.

The girl’s fair, beautiful face was still smudged with dirt. She was slim, and when she was quiet, she seemed like the type of female who couldn’t even harm a fly.

Not long ago, even with a gaze as cold as a blade as she fought her way through, the invaders surrounding them hadn’t taken her seriously.

’How capable could a female with a non-Attack System Superpower be? When faced with Wind Blades and flames, she couldn’t exactly use a Healing Ability on her enemies, could she?’

Therefore, their strategy before arriving didn’t include any specific tactics against Jiang Qingli. After they got here, their only thought was to use her to kill Xie Youchen.

Now, they had indeed dealt Xie Youchen a fatal blow.

But after Xie Youchen fell, they discovered that this slender female they had been ignoring was even more unsettling than him!

They didn’t even know what kind of Superpower Jiang Qingli had!

The leader’s expression hardened, his gaze fixed warily on Jiang Qingli.

Jiang Qingli met his gaze, her dark eyes utterly calm. Her voice was soft. "Come at me together. I’m in a hurry."

’In a hurry?’

’What arrogance!’

Hearing this, the leader sneered.

He was wary of the ability Jiang Qingli had just shown, but he didn’t think they would lose.

This operation had mobilized the forces of three great aristocratic families. They had over a hundred Death Warriors and hired Assassins at their disposal, including several with Space Abilities. How hard could it be to take down a girl in her early twenties!

Not to mention, they had over thirty men lying in ambush nearby!

He waved his hand and ordered, "Attack!"

In an instant, everyone except the leader leaped into the train car, rushing straight for Jiang Qingli!

Yi Nuo, having dealt with his opponents, limped in front of Jiang Qingli to shield her.

The remaining military officers formed a circle around Jiang Qingli, protecting her in the center as they fought the invaders.

Qin Yu quietly shuffled closer to Jiang Qingli, hiding behind a steel beam and watching her intently.

Jiang Qingli was still in the same position as before, her eyes lowered, seemingly staring at Xie Youchen’s wound, or perhaps just in a daze.

Seeing this, Qin Yu couldn’t help but wonder if she had seen things wrong earlier.

’Why isn’t she moving? Was that not her just now?’

Qin Yu wasn’t the only one to notice. The leader, standing atop the train car’s wreckage to survey the battle, saw it as well.

He stared at Jiang Qingli’s hands. With just a slight movement, she had taken out dozens of his men. His eyes narrowed.

Right now, the girl’s hand was clenched into a fist and pressed against the unconscious Xie Youchen’s chest, her slender knuckles trembling slightly.

He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

’Perhaps we were all bluffed by what she said.’

’Her "I’m in a hurry" was just a threat. She doesn’t actually have some unheard-of Superpower. That was just Xie Youchen’s final, desperate act before dying.’

’And now, he’s never waking up again.’

’The vine wielder was genetically engineered by Lü Xin using Fang Chi’s DNA. His vines carry an extremely potent toxin. It would take the Ninth District military over an hour to get here. The poison from the thorns induces a coma, and it spreads throughout the body within twenty minutes.’

’Xie Youchen is as good as dead!’

At that thought, the leader smiled smugly and said, "Advisor Jiang, there’s no need to pretend to be calm. I quite admire you. If you surrender now, I might use my Spiritual Ability to let you die in a beautiful dream."

"Thanks, but that won’t be necessary." Jiang Qingli finally looked up at him. Her face was pale, but a faint smile played on her lips. "I believe you’re the ones at a disadvantage here."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted to the inside of the train car.

The officers, seeing the invaders strike down their Marshal and then dare to issue taunts, were fighting with furious determination. Not a single one of them had fallen; in fact, they were gaining the upper hand.

The leader saw this and sneered. "Stubborn until the bitter end."

He raised his right hand high and made a gesture—this was the prearranged signal for his ambushing subordinates to attack.

However, only a light breeze blew around the train. There was no response.

The leader frowned and waved his hand again.

Still, no one answered.

The breeze stirred his hair, and a cold sweat broke out across his back.

Jiang Qingli asked, "Are you looking for them?"

She lifted a finger. In the dense, waist-high grass, figures appeared.

A vine pierced each of their chests. They were all unconscious, their faces a deathly gray.

These were all the men they had lying in ambush!

The leader glared at Jiang Qingli, his voice trembling. "What... what in the world did you do?!"

Of course, Jiang Qingli wasn’t about to reveal her trump card. She simply repeated his earlier words—

"If you surrender now, I might use my Spiritual Ability to let you die in a beautiful dream."

The leader’s face instantly turned ashen.

He was thrown into a panic. Jiang Qingli lifted a finger, and the vine that had pierced Xie Youchen’s heart took the opportunity to pierce his as well.

The large figure fell from the roof of the car.

A deathly silence fell over the area.

Jiang Qingli’s hand on Xie Youchen’s body trembled, but not from fear. Within her domain, she could unilaterally stop time for him, preventing his wound from worsening. He wasn’t going to die.

Her hand was shaking because she was afraid of losing control and killing every last one of them. While suppressing her rage, she had been discreetly eliminating the hidden enemies as a way to familiarize herself with her new Superpower.

Now, it was time to put an end to this.

The remaining people were quickly captured.

As one of them was forced to his knees before Jiang Qingli, he suddenly shouted toward a corner, "Your Highness, are you really going to drag your family down with you?!"

Qin Yu, who hadn’t yet recovered from the joy of surviving, was startled by the furious shout.

The thought that her own paternal family wanted her dead made her point at the man and shout, "I am the Emperor’s daughter! Even if I committed a grave crime, the worst I would face is prison! My family abandoned me, so why on earth should I care about them!"

’I have to think clearly,’ Qin Yu thought. ’Xie Youchen’s life is hanging by a thread, and Jiang Qingli just awakened a second Superpower. She’s furious. She might even kill me.’

’My life is far more precious than those of some males!’

’As for my family... I never even blamed the Wu Family for being too useless to support me, yet they have the gall to tell me to take the fall and kill myself?!’

’I’d have to be insane!’

Qin Yu shouted at Jiang Qingli, "Jiang Qingli, I confess! Spare my life, and I can testify that Baili Jing is innocent!"

Jiang Qingli’s voice was soft. "That’s not much of an offer, is it?"

’That’s not enough?!’ Qin Yu’s eyes widened. ’But I don’t have any bargaining chips to negotiate with her!’

But this was a life-or-death moment, so Qin Yu no longer cared about the noble dignity of the Imperial Family. Gritting her teeth, she shouted, "I’ll do whatever you say, alright?!"

The moment she said this, the man was so angry he cursed, "You spineless turncoat!"

He suddenly stared into Qin Yu’s eyes, and a strange light flickered in his pupils.

"He has a Spiritual Ability—!" Chen Mi shouted.

But it was too late. As if possessed, Qin Yu dazedly picked up a dagger from the ground and thrust it toward herself.

Just as the dagger broke her skin, it abruptly stopped and was thrown to the side.

Qin Yu hadn’t broken free from the control. She struggled, still trying to die, but was restrained by an invisible force.

Jiang Qingli said flatly, "I said, she can’t die right now."

This was her domain. If she wanted them dead, they had to die.

If she wanted someone to live, they couldn’t even take their own life.
