The air was filled with the smell of blood, making people cover their noses involuntarily, not wanting to get any closer. But in the darkness, there were still people moving forward.

Liu Mengchao followed the smell of blood and walked toward the depths of the sewer. He walked past the corpse that had been chopped into two parts, and kept walking forward without even frowning.

After turning the corner, another corpse appeared in front of Liu Mengchao. The head of this corpse was chopped into two parts, and fell into the water of the sewer. Blood slowly spread out along with the water.

"Another person?"

Liu Mengchao looked a bit unsurprised. He just sneered slightly and listened carefully to the noise coming from the distance. The sounds of fighting one after another were constantly hitting Liu Mengchao's eardrums, conveying to him

direction of the sound source.

It's not far ahead!

Liu Mengchao understood in his heart and immediately accelerated his steps. He walked so fast that his whole body seemed to draw an afterimage in the air in an instant. In just the blink of an eye, he had already rushed dozens of meters away.

.

His footsteps suddenly stopped, and Liu Mengchao stood in the darkness, looking at the two people who were having a fierce confrontation in the distance.

One of them, Liu Mengchao, didn't know him, but when he thought about it, he must be the artificial man Edward mentioned. As for the other man wearing a dark blue military uniform, Liu Mengchao was very familiar with it.

What about the President? Why does this man appear here?

Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes, and an interesting idea suddenly appeared in his mind. Is this president not as simple as he seems on the surface?

Soon, the answer came to Liu Mengchao. The president inserted the two swords in his hands directly into Grid's shoulders. He originally thought that the reinforced carbon armor could protect him from harm, but

The reality was far beyond Greed's imagination.

Bang! Bang!

With two muffled sounds, Grid was already pinned to the ground, motionless, as if he could only wait for death. However, Grid's face still had a nonchalant expression.

"You can't kill me!" Greed said to the president with a ferocious smile. "No matter how powerful you are, you still can't kill me. You know, artificial humans can't die!"

"Will die!"

In addition to the two long swords, the President slowly drew out two long swords from his waist. He didn't seem to be carefully observing the expression on Grid's face at all, he was just doing a boring job. Just work.

No matter how boring it is, he will still keep doing it.

Bang! Bang!

The kneecap instantly turned into a pile of broken bone fragments, splattering into the dark sewer. Grid's knees were directly penetrated, and a sword was nailed to all his limbs, as if he had been nailed to the ground.

The dolls on the floor are just like that.

"Who is it?"

The president suddenly stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at the dark place behind him. There was the sewer leading to the outside world. But at this moment, the experienced president noticed

There was a hint of danger. The smell was so light that it was almost covered up by the smell of blood around him.

But your feelings are definitely not wrong!

Without hesitation, the president took off the blindfold on his face, and scanned the darkness inch by inch with bated breath, until finally, the darkness started to move.

This was as dark as water, and Liu Mengchao's face emerged from the cold water.

"Is it you?"

The president knew about Liu Mengchao, and he personally agreed to Liu Mengchao's becoming the national alchemist. But he really didn't expect to see Liu Mengchao here. Logically speaking, shouldn't Liu Mengchao be stopped?

Could it be that Rust and the others have been killed?

This is simply impossible!

The President couldn't help but think in his mind that the artificial man is an object made entirely from the Philosopher's Stone. Unless the Philosopher's Stone in the body is completely consumed, he will not die.

And now...

"Are you here, Liu Mengchao!" Although the president was uneasy, he still had a calm smile on his face, and he still looked a bit happy. "Since I made you the national alchemist, I will

I thought you would become a powerful fighting force in my hands. Now it seems that I was right."

The President walked slowly towards Liu Mengchao while holding the long knife in his hand. His speed was not fast, like a cheetah slowly approaching its prey. He was just crawling in the shadows, waiting for the crucial moment.

arrival.

"Ahem..."

In this darkness, Grid, who had been pinned to the ground by the President, coughed, and blood came out of his mouth, dyeing his clothes red little by little. But all this was not that good to him.

An amazing thing. He is an artificial human, so he will never die now.

Thinking of this, Greed subconsciously wanted to open his mouth and remind Liu Mengchao. But just as the idea emerged from his mind, the figure of the president flashed and came to his side. This speed was really fast.

It's astonishing, even scary.

"You have also seen it, Liu Mengchao." As the president said, he lowered his head and motioned to Grid who was nailed to the ground, and said slowly, "This person is a so-called artificial human. I didn't expect that in this world, actually

There really is a created human being. The purpose of my coming here is to capture this person so that I can find out the secrets from his mouth. Now there are signs of instability in the army itself. I think our enemy..."

Chi!

As the president spoke, he slashed with his right hand holding the long knife, and cut off half of Greed's face.

"Don't worry," the president turned around and walked towards Liu Mengchao, with a calm smile on his face, "this man is not as easy to die as you think, or I don't know how to kill him until now.

Method. I had no choice but to nail his whole body to the ground."

As the president spoke, he came to Liu Mengchao.

"Presumably... you can understand it, right?"

The president raised his head with a smile, his face full of the serious look of an old man. Liu Mengchao, who was standing in front of the president, nodded slowly. As soon as he pressed his chin down, a sword light jumped up.

The speed was so fast that even the eyes could not react. The target of this attack was Liu Mengchao's legs.

Whoosh!

I saw the light of the sword sliding across an arc in the darkness, and Liu Mengchao's legs were about to break.

"Um?"

At this moment, the president's brows suddenly frowned. He was not someone who knew nothing, nor was he a stupid person. He had already seen Liu Mengchao's alchemy skills at the national alchemist examination site.

, the kind of alchemy that can spread the surrounding fog to prevent the enemy's sight from being distorted.

"why is that?"

"I think this is the question I should ask, right?" Liu Mengchao's figure slowly emerged beside Grid, staring at the president in the distance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "As the national alchemist

Why do I, my immediate boss, the President, confront me when we meet?"

Liu Mengchao asked without thinking, and the smile on the president's face only flashed across his face. The two of them knew each other's strength, or in other words, for Liu Mengchao, he knew the president's speed and moves better.

As soon as he bent down, Liu Mengchao casually took off the long knife from Grid's shoulder. Liu Mengchao, who was holding the long knife in his right hand, danced casually, and a sword flower appeared in an instant.

"Or are you saying that I can't break the secret that you can't tell?"

The corner of Liu Mengchao's mouth curled up, and he raised his left hand slightly. A soft crack was heard, and the hidden sword hidden under Liu Mengchao's wrist poked out, like a poisonous snake waking up from hibernation, and kissed him

It smells like a man.

"Come on, President...no, we should say the artificial president."

Liu Mengchao narrowed his eyes and squatted slightly, his whole body like a semicircle, waiting for the president's attack. For Liu Mengchao, he had fought more difficult battles than this, so he didn't feel any panic at all.

and tension.

"When did you come from?"

At this moment, the President is no longer anxious. Ever since Liu Mengchao revealed his secret, he will never be able to let Liu Mengchao go. If he lets this man slip away from him, I'm afraid... Edward and the others will all be together in the blink of an eye.

Know your secret.

"Can't stay."

The president still had a gentle smile on his face, but his words were as cold as the coldest days of winter.

"I think so too." Liu Mengchao nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "If others find out about my secret, I will kill them no matter what. But there is one thing..."

Liu Mengchao said, slowly walking towards the president.

"You can wait, but I can't."

You can wait, this is what Liu Mengchao means. For the president, his status is inherently righteous. No matter who it is, if they see the national alchemist and the president drawing swords against each other, I am afraid they will not hesitate

To help the president, right?

And now, behind this man, there is a large group of troops, rushing towards the direction of Liu Mengchao. Although their fighting power is not strong, they are still a troublesome thing for Liu Mengchao.

If he couldn't defeat the President quickly, he might be trapped here because of the large number of soldiers.

Of course... Liu Mengchao himself is not without some advantages. At least that's what Liu Mengchao thinks.
