Chapter 44: The Mirage
Location, Dongcheng Square.
There is a large square stone monument erected in the center, and the sky is raining lightly, and from a distance it looks like a light veil on the sky.
"Will the Scar Man really come over?"
The two brothers sitting under the stele both had the same question mark in their hearts. The two of them were used as bait to lure out the two Fullmetal Alchemist brothers, Edward and his younger brother Alphonse.
"I think it's coming, right?" Edward frowned slightly as he spoke. He doesn't like rainy days very much, and after the rain, he feels like his whole body has shrunk.
"But......" Alphonse, who was sitting next to Edward, couldn't help but raise his head and look around, "It stands to reason that Liu Mengchao should be nearby to pick us up, but no one has seen him until now!" ”
Edward subconsciously pursed the corners of his lips, although the person named Liu Mengchao gave people a very reliable feeling, but such a person who couldn't see him at all wouldn't really disappear, right?
Thinking of this, the two brothers couldn't help but glance at each other, and they all let out a sigh.
"Smack!"
The booted foot stepped heavily into the muddy water in front of the Edward brothers, and the two brothers subconsciously raised their heads. A tall man appeared directly in front of them, wearing a short shirt with his chest completely open. With a pair of sunglasses on his face, he couldn't see the expression on his face at all.
"Excuse me......"
The man suddenly stopped and stood in front of the Edward brothers.
"I just heard someone call you Edward?"
Here it comes!
Hearing the question, Edward and Alphonse subconsciously mentioned it in their hearts. All this was exactly as the person named Liu Mengchao expected.
As long as the slightest bit of information can be captured, the scarred man will appear, and then attack directly like a mad dog.
"It's us."
Edward nodded slowly, but a smile appeared directly on his face.
"That's right!"
As soon as the words fell, the Scar Man reached out and grabbed Edward's head directly. He shot so fast. Hardly ever gave the Edward brothers a little time to react.
"Brother!"
Alphonse looked at the hand that almost grabbed Edward's hand, and directly screamed loudly.
However, in the next second, he discovered an extremely terrifying thing. The man's hand went straight through Edward's head, but it didn't hurt Edward at all!
Did Liu Mengchao make a move? Alphonse subconsciously thought that he couldn't help but raise his head, trying to find Liu Mengchao's figure in his eyes, but everything was so futile.
There was no Liu Mengchao around at all.
"Did you dodge?"
The Scar Man looked at his hand suspiciously, but the hand that could directly analyze the flesh was empty, without any trace of blood.
"Welcome."
Right now. Liu Mengchao's voice suddenly sounded. The scar man subconsciously looked in the direction from which the voice came, and saw a man standing on the obelisk in front of him.
"I didn't feel his breath at all, when did he stand up?"
The scarred man's mind was full of questions, and his eyes were staring straight at Liu Mengchao. While constantly searching for the figure of the Edward brothers in his field of vision.
"Buzz!"
There was a soft sound, and the blade of steel slid directly through the air and slashed towards him.
"Huh!"
The Scar Man reached out directly, trying to grab the incoming blade. I saw his hand poke out in the air, but almost in the blink of an eye, he passed by the attacking blade.
Didn't catch it again?! That's impossible! The Scar Man is extremely confident in his fighting skills. He was originally a warrior monk who had experienced arduous cultivation, and his hand-to-hand combat skills should logically be a hundred times stronger than those waste alchemists. In the past, as long as the alchemists brought themselves close, they were greeted by a massacre!
But now......
The Scar Man slowly raised his hand. Covered the blood that flowed from his ribs. He was injured, and he saw the attack of the Fullmetal Alchemist one moment ago, but in the next second, he hit him directly.
What the hell is going on?
No one answered him, and Edward's attack continued to strike silently again. His line of attack is extremely clear. But for the scarred man, it is like the horizon, which is clearly in front of him. But no matter what, it just can't be touched!
"Smack!"
Liu Mengchao, who was standing on the obelisk, jumped down and came directly in front of the scar man. It wasn't until this moment that Scar noticed the aberrations around him.
The light rain that was originally pouring down, I don't know when I couldn't see it at all. Although it is not obvious around me, if you feel it carefully, you can still detect a faint fog.
"I'm being disturbed?"
The Scar Man subconsciously stepped back, raised his hands and made a defensive gesture. Not only did he now have to guard against the attack of the short Fullmetal Alchemist, but he was even more wary of the man who had jumped from the obelisk.
"You're not a state alchemist, why would you do such a thing?"
The Scar Man asked in a deep voice, his eyes directly shot out of a murderous light.
Why do this kind of thing?
The corners of Liu Mengchao's mouth twitched, and he laughed directly. He has always had no affection for people who are obsessed with revenge, who are completely irrational and have no intelligence to speak of, who wander around like mad dogs, and then look like enemies in the face and bite into them. If you bite the right person, you will live your life contentedly, and if you bite the wrong person, you will just pat the dust on your ass and continue to chase around like a wild dog.
"Just looking at people like you makes me sick."
Liu Mengchao said differently, and directly spread his hands in front of him. I saw him slowly walk forward, as if the Scar Man was not in front of him at all, and walked straight towards the Scar Man.
"Look for death!"
Looking at Liu Mengchao, who was walking slowly towards him, the scar man clenched his fists with both hands and grabbed Liu Mengchao's waist directly. This time, she had a heart eye, and her hands each made a semicircle, and she attacked Liu Mengchao in an enveloping direction.
Although such an attack will open the weakness of his chest, he can also grab this man's body when Liu Mengchao counterattacks.
As long as he touches Liu Mengchao's body, he is sure that all the internal organs in his body will be shattered in an instant, turning into a pile of residue!
It's close!
Liu Mengchao was close to the Scar Man, and the Scar Man's attack came mercilessly at this moment.
Suddenly~suddenly!
In an instant, Liu Mengchao's whole person was stopped and cut into two sections.
"Something is wrong!"
The scar man frowned directly. He had just let his hands pass through Liu Mengchao's body, but there was no feeling in his hands, as if he was only grasping air!
"Welcome, my alchemy—mirage."
At the same time, Liu Mengchao's voice rang out lazily in the rain. (To be continued......)
