Chapter 256: Easy to Slash

What followed was a one-sided massacre. Ed, without lifting a single finger, killed everyone in front of him. How did he do it? Well, it was rather simple actually. Ed's companions were the ones to enact the attacks. All Ed had to do was redirect their attacks towards the enemies. Ice, Lightning, Shadow, Poison, Fire, Blood, Sword Slashes, Lightthousands of attacks, in the span of a couple of seconds, and Ed managed to follow each and every one of them.

The Space magic portals that appeared in the sky numbered more than the attacks themselves. Ed's concentration was never better. The attacks rained down, and Ed's companions moved into the enemy lines. No one ran, no one hurried their steps. They walked like kings. Fear had set into the hearts of the enemies, and no one dared to approach them. Of course, this was the case of foot soldiers, whose duty was simply to gauge the strength of Ed's group. The true enemies lay behind the army.

Ed and the others stood behind the enemies, and in front of their leaders. A large man moved in front of them. He was filled with muscles and had so little neck, he looked like a turtle. His body looked like a normal human's, except for one thing. His veins were purplish and black. It gave him a sinister look, much like a demon's.

"So this little pipsqueak is the one challenging our sect," he said, with a voice as deep as his neck was thick. "How you've fallen, O' great Sword sect!"

"Those wordsThe one you sent last time said those same words," Ed looked at the man, who was right in front of him, straight in the eyes. "Do you know what happened to him? He became a splattered mess on our luxurious sect rug. I had to burn it in order to get rid of filth like him. Such a shameit was such a good rug."

"You" The man's lips curved into a frown as he raised his hand. His hand looked like a mountain, slowly descending as it approached Ed's face, who continued to make eye contact with the man.

However, something happened that made the leaders behind the man frown. The man's fist continued to slow down, instead of picking up speed. And, at the same rate of slowness, his yellow skin was covered by a white-blue layer of frost. The man's fist stopped short of Ed's face before his whole body became frozen.

"He was frozen?!" a woman, one of the leaders, shouted as if she couldn't believe her eyes. "Who could have done such a thing?! Not even the Ice Empress is capable of such a thing!!"

"Oh, it's not the Ice Empress. It's the one that inherited the weapon, the spirit, and the life of that EmpressEdmund," Ed said, as he looked at Edmund who approached him. "Make this ice sculpture a bit morefitting."

"As you wish!" Edmund brandished his jet black spear. Like a hungry python or a multi-headed Hydra, the spear struck dozens of times in a single second. Bits and pieces of the man flew into the sky, as his jet black flood, which was frozen, turned into a decoration in front of Ed. Edmund transformed the entire man into ice shavings.

"You people enjoy poison, don't you?" Ed said as he raised his hand and put it in front of him. "Enjoy this, then." He released a wave of wind that sent the obviously poisonous blood towards the twentynineteen leaders of Poison sect which remained. All of them jumped away in order to dodge the man's remains. All except one.

"I see," the master of Poison sect remained still, with a glass filled with a purple liquid, seemingly poison. "The little girl that couldn't lift a single finger when I killed her mother, chose to bare her fangs at me todayHAHAHA, how fitting!" The incoming ice particles melted into nothing before coming into contact with the man, Sarin.

One of the leaders switched direction and flew towards Ed. However, someone else stood in front of him and blocked him from his target.

"You can't get to our master so easily," Asem said as he knocked the man away using his Katana, which was previously Alexander's.

"Tch!" The leader grunted as he re-established his balance.

"Suika, go with him," Ed said, to which Suika replied, "Suu!" as she transformed into her ball form and hung on Asem's shoulder.

"Everyone, choose your opponents however you see fit. None of them are stronger than Immortal Establishment level 5. The strongest one is their leader, and he is level 10," Ed said as he grabbed his Shusui. Every one of his companions turned to look at him, as they were worried after hearing the cultivation level of Sarin. Ed smiled, and said, "Leave him to me!"

"And me as well," Emilia interrupted Ed's step in. "It is my duty to fight him. You won't say no, right?" Emilia smiled with her sword giving off a visible chilly air, which remained after freezing the man from before.

"Of course not. Then, I hope you'll support me from behind!"

"I'd be glad to!"

"Uhm," Goburou's blood clone came from behind Ed, tapped him on his shoulder, and said, "You two can flirt later, but you should fight for now."

"Hahaha! What a funny group. It would be a shame to kill you all," Sarin said as he gulped down the liquid inside his glass in one go. "Now, shall we begin?!"

"Certainly!" Ed blasted his KI, by activating 'Berserk', to Immortal Establishment level 7. Just as the gust of wind, which erupted from his body, cleared remains of the poison ice particles, he activated his Ren. His aura became so concentrated, that even those with no Nen, were almost able to see it.

He crouched down and held Shusui with both hands near his waist. He stepped in toward Sarin, and with an immense power, slashed at him. However, Sarin reacted normally, as if it was a normal day for him, and withdrew his sword. After which he simplyblocked Ed's katana.

"I'm not so easy to slash, young Avalon," he claimed.

"I seeThen allow to try it once more," Ed said with a smile on his face. He teleported away, back to his original spot and took the same stance once again. Ed's companions, and Sarin's companions. Both of them remained fixated at the two, forgetting their own fight.

Then, as if repeating the same thing as before, Sarin blocked Ed's katanaor so he thought. The katana disappeared from Ed's hand for a moment, the moment where it would have been blocked, and reappeared after passing the sword. Ed slashed Sarin's abdomen and drew blood.

"Indeed, you're not easy to slash."
