Stunning Edge - Chapter 180

Chapter 180

“Like you all just saw, this barrier can reflect all forces . ” Seeing how the barrier remained untouched, her heart sank . The force that had repelled her was the exhibited the same pressure as she when she approached the barrier . It was the exact same as hers .  

“The hell is with this barrier?!” Xi Shaoqi cursed . He bent down, picked up a rock, then threw it at the barrier . As they expected, just as the rock was about to touch the barrier, it was bounced back .  

There was no way out . No matter how much strength they used, it would all be bounced back .

“Let me try . ” With a wave of his hand, a giant blade of wind appeared in Feng Yixuan’s hand .

“Don’t . ” Qi Aoshuang shook her head .

“If I attack with a force larger than the barrier can bear, then perhaps it won’t be reflected and break the barrier instead . ” Feng Yixuan surmised . He was about to use all his strength to attack .

“And if not?” Qi Aoshuang asked quietly .

Everyone’s heart shuddered . If not? Who could block Feng Yixuan’s attack? Feng Yixuan’s power was not insane . If he used all his strength to attack, perhaps no one would be able to block it, including himself .

Feng Yixuan blinked . He experimentally slashed at the barrier . The reflected force made his jaw drop . Its speed and power was the exact same . Feng Yixuan immediately erected a barrier to dissipate the attack . Inwardly, he was sweating cold sweat . What if using all his strength didn’t break the barrier?

“What do we do?” Feng Yixuan sheathed his sword, a little gloomy . The thought of being killed by himself was a little depressing .

“Yeah, what are we going to do? Are we just going to stay stuck here?” Xi Shaoqi glanced at the other people, then shivered . They were already dead, but they still continued what they did when they were alive . It was too creepy .

“Haha, don’t waste your brain . No matter what strength you use, you can’t break this magic formation . If you want to die quickly, just attack the barrier . If you want to die slowly, just obediently stay inside, hahaha…” a sinister laugh came from outside of the barrier . It was definitely the person who had set up the barrier . Then the voice disappeared . He obviously thought there was no way they could break the barrier, so he left to stay somewhere else more comfortable . He thought that just after waiting, he would be able to collect their bodies .

“Fuck! You bastard!” Xi Shaoqi cursed .

“I’ll kill you once we get out!” Feng Yixuan gnashed his teeth .

Leng Lingyun uttered in a low voice, “I have never seen nor heard of such a magic formation spell . There is no record of it in the library of the Temple of Light . ”

“Tch, just because the Temple of Light doesn’t know doesn’t mean that no one else knows . ” Although Xi Shaoqi knew Leng Lingyun was on their side, he still couldn’t help but be annoyed hearing the Temple of Light brought up .

“Are you saying you know then?” Qi Aoshuang said coldly, shutting him up .

“Let’s first rest . Standing here won’t do anything,” she said . “Let’s sit inside the inn . ”

Everyone agreed . Xi Shaosi led the way to the inn, whereas Xi Shaoqi stubbornly attacked the barrier, but the result was still the same . It always reflected the attacks the way they had came . Although Xi Shaoqi was prepared for this, he was still unsatisfied . Everyone else simply ignored him .

In the inn, there were no guests in the main hall . The owner continued to clean a cup behind the counter without stopping, while a waiter continued to wipe a table . The two’s movements never stopped .

Xi Shaoqi shivered inwardly . He sat at the furthest table, swallowing, trying his best not to see the undead .

“My lady, I dislike this place…” Xi Shaoqi’s voice carried a tremor .

“What do you think?” Qi Aoshuang looked out the window . Out on the streets, the sparse people continued to walk back and forth .

“To break the spell, we must either forcefully shatter the barrier or kill the spellcaster . ” Leng Lingyun said coldly .

“There is only one choice then . The spellcaster is outside, so if we want to kill him, then we must leave . But we can’t leave,” Feng Yixuan said with annoyance .

“The problem is, how did he cast this spell? This village is not big, but it’s not small either . In the end, we only saw him . The barrier was also erected immediately after we entered . ” Qi Aoshuang frowned .

“Even master would need us two or other people to assist him to erect such a barrier . ” Xi Shaosi stroked his chin . “But this barrier is so large . How did he create it by himself?”

“What if he used a treasure?” Xi Shaoqi blinked . He sat down and scooted towards Xi Shaosi . Every time he saw those two undead, he would shiver .

“A treasure?” Everyone looked at Xi Shaoqi .

“Just a guess . ” Xi Shaoqi shrugged .

Suddenly, Qi Aoshuang thought of something . “Do you guys remember how the barrier appeared?”

“Something flashed overhead, and then the barrier formed,” Feng Yixuan answered, recalling .

“Which direction?” Qi Aoshuang pressed .

“Which direction? Yes, it did seem to spread from a center . ” Everyone was impressed that Feng Yixuan was able to see everything so clearly that short moment .

“Let’s go . ” Qi Aoshuang stood up .

“Where?” Everyone asked .

“The center of the village . ” Qi Aoshuang was excited . The people of this world did not know, but she did . There was a certain kind of magic that required a spiritual Eye . If Feng Yixuan didn’t see wrong and her guess was correct, then the huge barrier had an Eye in the center of the town . It was the key to break the spell!”

“The center of the village is the lake . At the bottom is a spring,” Xi Shaosi said . He was confused . What could Qi Aoshuang be thinking? What was there? It was just water, wasn’t it?

“Just follow along, the words of my wife are truth!” Feng Yixuan glanced sideways . Xi Shaosi remained silent, rolling his eyes .

Currently, Qi Aoshuang wasn’t in the mood to slap Feng Yixuan . Instead, she hurried along to the center .

As Xi Shaosi said, the center of the village was indeed just a small lake . Along the shore grew a few plants they had never seen before, lush and green . Steps built of stone were around the lake, making it easier for people to go down and fetch water .

“Is there something wrong with the lack?” Xi Shaosi frowned, unable to see anything out of the ordinary .

Qi Aoshuang did not respond . Instead, she sat down and closed her eyes, concentrating on sensing underwater . Feng Yixuan followed suit, also sensing underwater .

Just when Xi Shaoqi was about to ask what they were doing, Leng Lingyun motioned for him to stop, to be quiet .

As expected!

A faint smile appeared on Qi Aoshuang’s lips .

There was indeed something in the lake . In the depths, there was a faint magic ripple coming from something .

Qi Aoshuang withdrew her consciousness, then opened her eyes .

Feng Yixuan also opened his eyes . Before Qi Aoshuang could speak, Feng Yixuan frowned and said, “There’s a bright, circular object that seems to be emitting a slight magic ripple . I don’t know if it’s related to the magic formation spell . ”

Qi Aoshuang was shocked . Feng Yixuan was actually able to know the appearance of the object . She hadn’t be able to see it, only sensing the ripple .

“It should be . ” Qi Aoshuang nodded .

“Ah? Really?” Xi Shaoqi was doubtful . “Isn’t it related to the person outside? What does it have to do with something that’s inside?”

“Perhaps the disk is the spiritual Eye of the magic formation,” Qi Aoshuang said faintly .

“Spiritual Eye? What’s that?” Xi Shaoqi asked . This time, it was not he that was confused, everyone else didn’t know either .

“The core of a high level magic formation, like the heart of a person . ” Qi Aoshuang could not explain it in any other way .

They understood vaguely .

“My lady, how did you know?” Xi Shaosi suddenly asked .

Everyone looked at Qi Aoshuang with a complex expression .

“You want to know?” Qi Aoshuang smiled prettily .

“No . ” Xi Shaoqi felt a chill down his spine . He knew that every time Claire smiled like that, someone was going to suffer . He would bet his life that her next words would be, because you want to know, I won’t tell you . Too nasty, too too nasty . It was best if he didn’t ask . If she wanted to tell him, then she would .

“My lady, what do we do now?” Xi Shaoqi was not focused on why Qi Aoshuang, but rather how they could leave this creepy place .

Wait until it is night . At night, we will fish out that object . If the spellcaster sees us go underwater, he might do something . At night, he will loosen up . ” Qi Aoshuang replied .
