Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1770 - 1759: Severing the Shackles

The severed hand streaked through the air like a shooting star, leaving a golden line before disappearing.At the wrist where Hilde's hand was severed, a new hand regenerated at a visible speed under the cover of Holy Light.

"Cut it off!"

At this moment, Ning Fan shouted, and the golden blade formed by divine power fiercely slashed at the void.

The space around Alice fractured like shattered glass, revealing numerous cracks.

Noticing that the light membrane on Alice's body had disappeared, Ning Fan quickly asked, "Alice, can you mobilize your magic now?"

"Yes."

Alice's eyes showed joy; aside from being able to use her magic, the feeling of constraint was gone.

"Now, leave here quickly."

"I..."

Alice nodded, swallowing back the rest of her words; she wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Alice said softly, "Promise me. You must come find me."

Ning Fan smiled and said, "I will definitely find you. You still owe me a plane ticket."

"Okay."

A puff of smoke flickered, and Alice disappeared, replaced by a silver bat.

In bat form, the Blood Clan can truly unleash their speed.

"I have to say, this silver bat is pretty cute."

For some reason, Ning Fan now found even a bat to be elegant and charming.

The silver bat's eyes flashed with a trace of human-like coyness, then it flapped its wings and transformed into silver light, vanishing.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Hilde waved his hand, and the milky white Holy Light chased after like a meteor, faster than Alice's flying speed by a third.

Seeing the relentless pursuit of the Holy Light Slash, it might catch up to Alice in just a few breaths.

"This is bad."

Ning Fan then vanished from where he stood.

It was not teleportation, but his speed was so fast that it exceeded the range of sight.

If observed closely, one would notice ripples appearing in the void behind Alice.

After gaining divine power, Ning Fan could travel through the void silently.

But this merely reduced air resistance, and in his Divine General state, Ning Fan's speed broke through his limits, touching on the mystic arts of space.

The ripples appearing in the void were the resistance posed by space.

If one day, Ning Fan could ignore spatial resistance without causing ripples to appear, he could achieve a pseudo-teleportation state.

At this moment, Ning Fan was not thinking about any of this; he had to intercept the Holy Light Slash before it struck Alice.

In the state of angel possession, Hilde's Holy Force Slash would gravely injure if not kill Alice.

It seemed like a blink of an eye when Alice, the Holy Light Slash, and Ning Fan converged, traveling side by side.

The Holy Light Slash was about to graze Alice's bat wings.

A brilliant golden light flashed, just in time to block the Holy Light Slash.

The clash between divine power and holy power contained a massive impact in the silent explosion, instantly sending Alice flying.

"Alice!"

Ning Fan anxiously watched the fleeting silver light, unable to chase after it as Hilde had already followed.

"At most, her internal organs are shaken; she should be fine,"

Thinking this, Ning Fan felt relieved; if it weren't for Alice's unique constitution, any other Blood Clan member would have perished in the holy explosion.

Watching Alice disappear, and then looking at Ning Fan before him, Hilde squinted, his face as dark as water.

If Hilde wanted to chase, Alice could never escape his grasp,

But no matter how fast the Blood Clan flew, it couldn't surpass the pinnacle of mankind.

The key was Hilde never had the chance.

Looking at the obstructing Ning Fan, Hilde roared loudly, "Damn it!"

Thinking of the many lives lost and even having to use the Holy Temple's secret treasure, yet still unable to accomplish the mission,

Hilde was almost bursting with anger and even felt a bit flustered about how to explain this to the Pope.

As an Archbishop, Hilde wouldn't be punished for this failure.

It was no exaggeration that he wouldn't even get a scolding.

But as for the Pope's throne, Hilde could forget about it; he might even be ousted from the core of power, relegated to a nominal Archbishop.

"I was too careless; I shouldn't have brought these useless people."

At this point, Hilde was filled with regret and resentment, regretting not bringing enough people.

The Starlight Knight, despite being a special Blessed One, had no particularly remarkable power.

As an Archbishop of the Holy Temple, Hilde wielded more power than just this little group.

The Holy Temple's power structure is led by the Pope, with the Archbishops as suport.

The Pope holds the highest position, devoted to serving the Holy Lord, rarely showing face.

The major and minor matters of the Holy Temple are managed by ten Archbishops.

Hilde was in charge of the Paladins, meticulously strengthening his power over the years, now holding sway over nearly half of them,

With four Knight Commanders secretly swearing allegiance to him.

To capture a Blood Clan member of an Earl's strength, if Hilde had mobilized so many people, he would certainly become a laughing stock.

Moreover, with Angel Wings in hand, Hilde never considered the possibility of failure.

Knowing that the Angel Wings granted by the Pope were meant to guard against unforeseen variables, like that Morgan Family's Prince.

Everything went as Hilde imagined; the operation was smooth.

Not to mention a Prince, not even a single Blood Clan member was alerted.

Yet unexpectedly, a human suddenly appeared.

One wrong move, and the whole game was lost.

It was this unexpected human that thwarted Hilde's near success.

"Damn Raphael, why was there no mention of Ning Fan in the records?"

If Raphael were here, Hilde would ensure he was the first to be purified.

From a mere servant enduring mockery, he struggled to achieve today's status.

Hilde, with a once-bright future, couldn't imagine being relegated to a "Cold Palace"; he couldn't accept the shock from paradise to Hell.

"No! I still have a chance, there's still a chance."

Hilde's look grew increasingly frantic, the coldness in his eyes seemed to freeze the area.

"For that lofty position, even if I could have it for one day, I would be willing to die."

Noticing Hilde's anomaly, Ning Fan's heart tightened, foreboding that the old guy was about to go all out.

"Ning Fan, this is all your fault,"

Hilde shouted in a burst of vented emotion, having decided to kill Ning Fan and bring Alice back to Mount of Light.

Ning Fan smirked and said, "Don't damn pin this on me. You gruddy old man, you're bringing this on yourself; everyone knows kidnapping is illegal."

Hilde's expression remained calm, unaffected by the insulting words.

To Hilde, Ning Fan was already a dead man, so why pay heed to the words of a corpse?
