Blood splattered everywhere, accompanied by Edward's questioning under the lazy sunset. Liu Mengchao raised his hand, and the hidden sword that popped out was still stained with blood.

I saw the blood on the tip of the sword flowing slowly, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Liu Mengchao...why did you kill Rosa!"

Edward yelled angrily, and the expression on his face became distorted. Although Liu Mengchao once killed the bishop of the Rete Cult in front of him, but... he obviously should not be such a person...

"Human life is like a piece of grass. Is this the image I give people?"

Liu Mengchao grinned, then laughed. His eyes narrowed slightly, he looked back and forth at Brother Edward, and then he spread out his hands.

"You want to catch me?"

These were Liu Mengchao's slightly sarcastic words, but the two Edward brothers did not answer Liu Mengchao's words. They looked at each other and saw a look of perseverance in each other's eyes. No, it was not so much a look of perseverance.

, it would be better to say that the decision has been made.

"Crack!"

Edward clasped his palms together and looked directly at the direction of Liu Mengchao. On the other side, before Liu Mengchao could make any move, Alphonse rushed over. His huge figure seemed to have more agility at this moment.

, he had already arrived at Liu Mengchao's side in just a few steps.

Whoosh!

The steel-like fist hit Liu Mengchao's face directly. Alphonse's movements were so fast that he didn't even give Liu Mengchao the slightest time to react. In the blink of an eye, the fist had already arrived in front of Liu Mengchao's eyes. It was very close at hand.

, if Liu Mengchao could not dodge, he would be knocked unconscious by this fist in the next second. Liu Mengchao was sure that as long as his movements were slower for one second, this would definitely become his fate.

So Liu Mengchao moved. He lowered his head and moved forward like a dexterous ape. He was so close to Alphonse's arms. Above his head was Alphonse's iron fist, but there was not much on Liu Mengchao's face.

He looked horrified, as if he had anticipated such a situation.

With one hand, Liu Mengchao pressed his palm directly on Alphons's elbow. Before Alphons could react, Liu Mengchao used force and threw Alphons out. Liu Mengchao did not

Use any amount of force, just use the direction of Alphonse's force, and then push gently.

Pushing the boat along with the current, this is what Liu Mengchao did.

Sure enough, everything was as Liu Mengchao expected. Under Liu Mengchao's counterattack, Alphonse stumbled subconsciously and fell directly forward. The armor made of steel smashed into the body in front of him with a bang.

In the soil.

"Boom boom boom!"

Before Liu Mengchao had time to calm down, he suddenly found that the soil around him had suddenly risen. It was incredible to say that the soil that was supposed to be hard and heavy suddenly seemed to turn into a fierce and high tide at this moment. In the blink of an eye,

Liu Mengchao was immediately submerged.

Four high walls appeared directly in front of Liu Mengchao's eyes.

"What a powerful alchemy."

Liu Mengchao frowned slightly. He looked at the scene that suddenly appeared in front of him. If Liu Mengchao's alchemist used water vapor to create illusions, the alchemy of the two Edward brothers used the vastest land in the world.

, directly changing the shape of the soil and carving out various objects that can be used by them like sculptures.

This ability is particularly useful when you want to trap an enemy.

Liu Mengchao squinted his eyes and raised his head. He could still see a piece of blue sky above his head, but at this moment, the two Edward brothers thoughtfully blocked it. The blue sky was not visible above his head, and the earth was not visible under his feet. There was no blue sky on his head, front, back, left, and right.

There is no gap for people to escape.

Thinking of this, Liu Mengchao grinned and laughed. This was the first time he had seen such a situation. The feeling of being tied up like this was not too bad.

"Liu Mengchao..."

At this moment, the words of Brother Edward came from outside the earthen wall that surrounded Liu Mengchao.

"Why did you kill Rosa?"

This is Edward's voice, and there is still a hint of disbelief in this voice. After all, in Edward's view, Liu Mengchao is not a person who dare not kill people, but for Rosa, he has no reason

To kill this girl. Rosa can neither threaten Liu Mengchao's life, nor does she hold any great secrets. She is just an ordinary girl, not even of any importance, and is even regarded by Liu Mengchao as

A tool capable of equivalent exchange.

But...why did Liu Mengchao kill her?

"Can't you figure it out?"

Liu Mengchao's voice sounded again at this moment. Liu Mengchao, who was originally locked in the high wall, completely relaxed and sat on the floor, but his face was indescribably relaxed and casual. It seemed that he had already seen this scene.

I had expected it, and I was just waiting quietly for this moment.

What exactly Liu Mengchao is waiting for may only be known to Liu Mengchao himself.

"Yes, we really can't figure it out." Edward did not deny Liu Mengchao's words. He nodded slowly and continued, "We just want to know the real answer now. Other than that, we don't have any special requirements."

"No, you must have other requests, right?"

Although Liu Mengchao was in the dark, his eyes seemed to still be able to see the eyes of Edward brothers, and he could instantly detect the thoughts of the two brothers through their eyes. This ability seemed to have changed for Liu Mengchao.

It has become something similar to instinct, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is still an ability that is too weird.

"Yes..." Edward nodded slowly, and his voice couldn't help but become softer, "You asked us to help you become the national alchemist. In exchange, we asked you not to kill Miss Rosa. But you

Now, in front of the two of us, you directly killed Rosa... Miss. So what do you want? Is it that you can become the national alchemist without our help, or... you

For Miss Rosa, she actually has another purpose."

Edward spoke very quickly, without even much pause. His thinking was extremely clear at this moment, as if he was not shocked at all by Liu Mengchao's actions just now.

"Oh... this is quite strange." Liu Mengchao said, narrowing his eyes slightly. He simply leaned his head on the stone wall behind him, rubbed his nose and said, "I think if it's the two of you

When brother sees this scene, he should immediately investigate something, right?"

"What happened!?"

Edward said quickly, without any hesitation.

"Is Rosa dead?"

Liu Mengchao said with a smile. After all, the strategy of the two Edward brothers just now was to first push themselves away from the fake Rosa, and then use alchemy to surround themselves so that they could save the fake Rosa.

But now...if he guessed correctly, that Rosa should be gone now. Liu Mengchao has 100% confidence in this matter.

"Brother! Rosa's body is missing!"

At this moment, Alphonse's voice suddenly rang out, sounding a little panicked. After all, the body of the person who was supposed to be lying on the ground without breathing was now gone, leaving no trace behind.

Every trace. No matter how weird this thing seems, no matter how you think about it, you can't think of a reason.

"What the hell is going on!?"

Edward's voice trembled subconsciously. This was his first time encountering such a thing, so he was inevitably a little panicked. This is understandable. After all, no one can understand everything. Judging from the age of these two brothers,

, but there isn’t much that can be criticized.

However, Liu Mengchao still grinned and narrowed his eyes. His mind began to surge like a sea tide, and all the fragmentary thoughts continued to appear in Liu Mengchao's mind like a puzzle.

hovering among them, and then cleverly pieced together by Liu Mengchao.

"Edward!? What are you doing!?"

Just as a vague thought formed in Liu Mengchao's mind, Rosa's voice suddenly rang in the distance. It sounded like a joke after a prank, but it did ring. Standing on the dark wall

Liu Mengchao grinned, knowing that he would see the light again in the next moment.

Sure enough, he heard the surprised sounds of the two Edward brothers outside, who almost swallowed their own tongues, and the sounds of running around in a panic.

In just a blink of an eye, Edward's hand pressed directly against the wall made of mud, and a door opened in front of Liu Mengchao.

Liu Mengchao raised his hand slightly to block the sunlight coming in from the door, and stood up slowly. He dusted off the dirt on his body, then raised his feet and walked out calmly.

Liu Mengchao didn't walk very fast, even a little slowly. He first squinted his eyes and stood in the sun for a while, then squinted his eyes and glanced at Rosa standing in front of him. It seemed that there was just a slight collision between the eyes of the two people.

, Rosa's legs immediately softened, and she almost collapsed on the ground. But Liu Mengchao didn't think much about it. He just walked straight to Brother Edward, looked around, and said lazily.
Chapter completed!
