Chapter 199: Good Work Ed (2/2)

”No. For some reason, he didn't have a spatial ring on him.” As the armless man spoke, the others felt let down.

”Why did you bring out such a weapon? You could have kept it hidden and sold it for an unimaginable amount of money. Why did you show it to us if you know we might take it from you?” The leader brought up an interesting point. The other commanders were brought back to their senses and did indeed find it weird.

”I don't want the money, I want to be stronger! I'll give you this weapon if you promise to let me meet the sect master!” The armless man spoke as he approached the leader. The latter seemed to think about; even though he didn't need to do such a thing. He knew that he could make an empty promise and just kill the man in front of him. But, he had his pride and decided to do things how he sees fit.

”I accept.” He said so and as the man walked further ahead to give him the weapon, something unthinkable happened. The man rushed at the leader and stabbed him with the sword.

”What do you think you're doing?!” The woman from earlier shouted as she couldn't believe what had happened.

”Indeed, what do you think you're doing? Do you believe you'll get me with such a stupid attack?” said the leader. He caught the sword with his bare hands. Since the attack was clumsy and weak, it didn't even injure him.

”I didn't even have such an idea, but one hour is almost up and I don't have a lot of time.” The armless man's words surprised everyone as they didn't understand what he meant. Other than the leader, everyone stopped to think about it. The leader didn't care and attacked him. Such a thing was treason and the armless man needed to be executed in order to show his authority. He attacked his left side which was defenseless due to his missing arm.

A loud noise was heard as the leader's QI enhanced fist connected with the man's side. Or at least that's what he thought. Everyone looked aghast as if a ghost had just appeared in the room. In fact, it was indeed a ghost as Ed took the place of the armless man, and blocked the leader's fist with his arm.

”You're indeed worthy of leading such a big army, you monster. My arm is shattered.” Ed smiled as he looked at his dangling left arm. The leader's attack could have pulverized him, but he managed to block most of the damage thanks to Ryuu and Ken.

”How are you still alive?!!” the commanders shouted, but they didn't care about such a thing. What they wanted to know was how he managed to trick all of them at once.

”I don't have the time for chit-chat. I'll come back for you all in a second, and I'll show you what it means to challenge us.” Ed looked at all four of them and released a thick wave of killing intent, stopping them from approaching him.

”As for you, you can't remove your hand from the weapon, right? That's good.” Ed looked at the leader as he had used his Telekinesis to bind his hand to Shusui. He let out a smile and the two of them disappeared from within the headquarters of the Blood sect army.

”You played me, you little bastard.” The leader, named Harald, frowned as he looked at his surroundings. He was behind the coalition army, surrounded by the kings of the kingdoms that opposed Blood sect.

”We'll have you die right here. Good work Ed.” Arthur spoke as he walked towards Harald.
