Stunning Edge - Chapter 183

Chapter 183

When Xi Shaoqi and Xi Shaosi heard Carter call the goddess benevolent, both curled their lips with distaste . Feng Yixuan watched on with narrowed eyes, waiting for Leng Lingyun’s response .

“You are wrong, I was not bewitched . ” Leng Lingyun’s cold voice did not have any emotion . He said faintly, “I am very aware of what I am currently doing . No one is able to force me to do anything . Everything I am doing now is what I truly wish to do . ”

Carter froze . The holy knights behind him exchanged glances, all seeing shock and anger in each other’s eyes . The Divine Prince had truly been bewitched by the evil woman!

Seeing the holy knight’s venomous gazes towards Qi Aoshuang, Leng Lingyun naturally knew what they were thinking .

Suddenly, Leng Lingyun’s beautiful face revealed a bright smile . “I’ll say it again, I was not bewitched . ” His every word was clear and explicit . This time, every holy knight heard his words cleary . Leng Lingyun paused for a moment before resuming his charming smile . “Furthermore, the goddess is not a benevolent, but a despicable woman . ”

Cold wind blew . Leng Lingyun’s shocking words echoed in each holy knight’s mind, in each holy knight’s heart .

“Divine Prince…” Carter called out bitterly . The hatred in his gaze overflowed as he stared at Qi Aoshuang even more venomously, boring a hole into her .

The holy knights behind him also all had ugly expressions, their gazes filled with rancor as they glared at Qi Aoshuang .

“You witch! You lowered his highness to such a state!” Carter stood up, his pike raised . He glowered at Qi Aoshuang . “Warriors, today we much thoroughly eradicate this witch and rescue our divine prince . ”

Qi Aoshuang had not moved an inch, still sitting peacefully and teasing White Emperor and Black Feather . Feng Yixuan sat down and took out a piece of meat from his interspatial ring to cook . Xi Shaoqi and Xi Shaosi watched the holy knights alertly, counting the number of knights in their minds . There were nine in total . The two frowned slightly . Were these nine holy knights the famed Thorny Knights of the Temple of Light?

Their conjecture was correct . The nine holy knights were indeed the sharp blade of the Temple of Light, the Thorny Knights . Although there were merely nine of them, they were extremely powerful and had exceptional coordination . The had never been defeated before . The Temple of Light had handed many difficult tasks for them to complete . Naturally, they also bestowed upon them the task of killing Qi Aoshuang .

Carter raised his pike then roared in a deep voice . His body was immediately engulfed in white Dou Qi . The eight holy knights immediately stood up and marched into a triangle formation with Carter at the tip .

Carter’s sole focus was the black haired girl who was sitting calmly and ignoring them! It was that witch who had stolen their venerated Divine Prince . Black hair, black eyes, the symbol of evil . The girl on the wanted poster had golden hair and green eyes, but even if those colors were changed, she was easily recognizable!

Carter grasped his pike tightly . He took one step forward . The next moment, a figure glided over, blocking them .

“Divine Prince!” Carter’s heart was both angry and anxious .

Leng Lingyun did not have any expression, his eyes ice cold . He glanced at the men indifferently . “I already said I am no longer the Divine Prince . ”

“Is your highness really going to obstruct us from killing the witch?” Carter was crestfallen, his heart sinking . Had his highness been bewitched to such a state?

“Yes,” Leng Lingyun replied faintly . Then he continued, his voice soft, “She is not a witch . ”

The nine holy knights’ blood froze . All of their eyes widened and became bloodshot .

“Divine Prince! Do you insist on obstructing us?” Carter’s heart was nearly bleeding . If it were possible, he did not want to face the person he respected the most . This silver haired violet eyed man was previously who they aspired to be the most . They seeked his strength, his status, his aloof nature .

“Divine Prince, have you forgotten Xuanxuan’s hatred? Are you going to protect the villain who killed your sister?” One of the holy knights’ pike started to tremble . He simply could not accept that the Divine Prince had become bewitched to such a degree .

Leng Lingyun frowned slightly, his gaze darkening . An ineffable pressure exploded from him, forcing Carter and the other knights back .

“Who told you that?” Leng Lingyun’s expression was as calm as water, his voice as cold as a thousand years of ice .

Carter froze, but then suddenly roared, “Was it not because of this witch? She cruelly killed her mother, her childhood teacher, and even harmed her grandfather . Xuanxuan was killed by her as well!”

“Bullshit . ”

“Bullshit . ”

Two voices spoke at the same time .

One was Feng Yixuan, one was Leng Lingyun .

The two shared a glance, then fell silent .

Carter and the other knights were stupefied . The refined Divine Prince swore?! Their enterally noble and icy idol had actually cussed today!

Qi Aoshuang’s eyes flashed icily . Not bad, Temple of Light, I’d like to see what other kinds of lies you can use . In truth, Leng Xuanxuan’s death was blamed on Qi Aoshuang not because of his holiness, the Pope, but because of the Divine Princess, Liu Xueqing .

“Captain, it looks like talking is useless . Only when we kill the witch shall our Divine Prince awaken,” one of the knights said coldly .

No one could understand Carter’s current state of mind . He had relentlessly pursued his idol, but now his idol had become like this . The proud and aloof youth in white had saved him from the edge of death many times with a wave of his head, but had never paid him any attention . It was as if he were a passerby saying a small cat or dog . He never regarded him as anything more . Today was the first time he was anything more to him, but it was under such circumstances .

“Light Sanctuary!” Carter shouted, raising his pike high .  Dazzling white light poured down, enshrouding him and the other holy knights . This was auxiliary magic that would increase their strength .

Leng Lingyun’s eyes narrowed . He was about to make his move .

But the next moment, something flashed in front of him . A small figure stood before him . It was Qi Aoshuang .

“Let me . ” Qi Aoshuang only said these two words .

Leng Lingyun wanted to say something, but found no words to say .

Qi Aoshuang eyed the holy knights, sighing internally . In their hearts, Leng Lingyun was not merely the Divine Prince . Clare understood from their gazes when they looked at Leng Lingyun . Such veneration, adoration, respect… if Leng Lingyun personally attacked…

“Witch! Today is the the day you die . ” Carter gripped his pike tightly . He stomped heavily into the ground, then burst forward with a deep bellow .

“Halt…” Qi Aoshuang did not move, only saying this word faintly . It seemed like time paused for a millenia and the entire world was transforming… a huge aura erupted, enveloping the holy knights .

Carter froze in place in the same position in mid air, while the holy knights behind him were also unable to move .

“Huh? What happened?” Xi Shaoqi watched the frozen holy knights with wide eyes . Their eyes were unfocused and they had been frozen in place .

Qi Aoshuang closed her eyes and reached out . With a flick of her finger, nine tiny golden lotuses appeared, slowly revolving as they flew to each holy knight’s forehead . They slowly fused into the holy knights’ foreheads, then disappeared .

“What was that?” Xi Shaoqi was stunned by the unfathomable scene .

“Let’s go . It’ll take them a while to wake up . ” Qi Aoshuang turned around, ignoring Xi Shaoqi . She walked over to where she had sat earlier . White Emperor and Black Feather hopped onto her shoulders .

“Are you not going to kill them?” Xi Shaosi’s face darkened . He had a deep hatred for the people of the Temple of Light .

“Yeah, I’ll do it for you . ” Xi Shaoqi hated the people of the Temple of Light even more . However, tonight, the two viewed Leng Lingyun in a different light .

“No need . ” Qi Aoshuang mounted onto a camel, preparing to leave .

Xi Shaoqi and Xi Shaosi looked back at the utterly defenseless holy knights . Although their hands were itching to stab a few holes in the knights’ chests, they did not dare to disobey Qi Aoshuang . Despite that she had only said two words, no need, she definitely would not change her mind . However, they did not understand why they should not kill the despicable, nasty people .

Everyone started to journey again, traveling under the moonlight .

“Thank you . ” Leng Lingyun’s soft yet clear voice traveled to Qi Aoshuang’s ear .

Qi Aoshuang did not look back, did not even say a word . Sometimes, words were unneeded . Qi Aoshuang understood that Leng Lingyun had not wanted to fight against those people .
