Chapter 417: 0418 Edward Scissorhands

Ye Qiu blasted Edward away with a single finger in less than half a second, his formidable strength instantly shaking Mu Zhige’s heart.

Who is this expert, and why is he helping me?

Mu Zhige was full of questions, but upon seeing Edward crash onto the steel plate underfoot— the force of the impact causing the entire cruise ship to tremble— he was stunned.

So powerful!

Mu Zhige couldn’t see through the disguised Ye Qiu, yet he knew Edward’s capabilities. His own attacks had failed to injure Edward, but in the hands of Ye Qiu, without even one move, the previously invincible Edward was sent flying. Such strength was truly overwhelming.

Edward was one of the top three on the danger rankings!

Although third, it represented his invincible power; ordinary experts stood no chance against him.

Ye Qiu had the face of an easterner, and as Mu Zhige racked his brain, he could not find any memory of a person named Ye Qiu.

Could he be a hermit expert from the martial world who never showed himself?

Ultimately, that was the only conclusion Mu Zhige could reach. He was secretly impressed by Ye Qiu’s strength, knowing that after today, this young man would shine brightly across the entire martial world.

It took Edward quite a while to slowly pick himself up from the ground, glaring at Ye Qiu like a wild beast.

He had been careless, considering Ye Qiu an insignificant figure, but the sudden burst of strength was beyond his imagination, leaving him in a humiliating state. Had it not been for his astounding defensive power, Ye Qiu’s finger might have pressed him to death.

"I didn’t expect that on this cruise ship, aside from myself, there would be another expert like you. Whoever you are, I, Edward, am determined to tear you to pieces today." Never had Edward been so swiftly brought down, his heart now ablaze with intense rage, ready to destroy the entire ship if necessary, to eliminate Ye Qiu at all costs.

"You? Too weak!" Ye Qiu looked down with haughty eyes, the epitome of arrogance. But to Mu Zhige, this only made Ye Qiu appear even more unfathomable. Only someone with Ye Qiu’s strength could utter such words and dismiss Edward.

"Don’t be too arrogant, meddling in my affairs will lead to a miserable end for you," Edward warned as he twisted his body, changing his stance. The young man before him was indeed strong; it had been a long time since he’d faced such an opponent. His blood was boiling with excitement at Ye Qiu’s arrival.

"Master, be careful. His other hand is very dangerous." As Edward extended his arm, Mu Zhige suddenly cautioned. He was aware that Edward, being the third-ranked on the danger list, was not frightening because of his powerful cultivation techniques or combat skills, but rather, his right hand.

In the underworld, someone once said of Edward that his rarely used right hand was the strongest right hand!

But as for its power, there was almost no description, since most people who saw his right hand in action were killed by him. Probably only the two above him on the list knew the true strength of his right hand.

Ye Qiu nodded slightly, aware of the dangerous aura emanating from Edward’s serious demeanor. It was like a razor-sharp knife, unsheathed yet still intimidating.

Edward’s dangerous aura greatly piqued Ye Qiu’s interest. When one’s strength reached his level, craving battles with real experts was as inevitable as a thug’s yearning for a beautiful woman; only by clashing with true experts could he progress.

Bai Xiong had been forced to serve as his training partner for many days, and even he wasn’t sure what level his abilities had reached. Now, Edward’s emergence was the perfect opportunity to test his strength.

Ye Qiu had previously clashed with the Assassin King, who relied on nothing but tricks of misdirection. Those methods might deceive others but couldn’t escape his sight. In terms of true strength, the Assassin King wasn’t that powerful; his strength lay in silently and successfully killing his targets. But against Ye Qiu, who saw through him at a glance, the Assassin King’s weakness was exposed, resulting in his easy defeat by Ye Qiu.

However, Edward was different. Although Ye Qiu had initially struck with overwhelming dominance, he also knew he had caught his opponent off-guard, who had underestimated and scorned him, thus getting wounded by Ye Qiu’s sudden surge of power.

This didn’t mean Edward was weak; on the contrary, his strength was even greater than the Assassin King’s.

In a head-on confrontation, Edward was more than capable of taking down No Shadow.

An assassin, no matter how formidable, ultimately stands in the darkness, winning by assassination. They study how to hide themselves, approach their targets, strike with a single blow, and how to leave. Once they confront their opponents openly and squarely, the so-called King of Assassins can even be killed by a Martial Artist who has just stepped into the realm of True Qi.

Therefore, Ye Qiu didn’t care about others’ titles. To him, the King of Assassins was just a Martial Artist who knew slightly more combat techniques; once their weaknesses were understood, defeating them was simple.

Many thoughts flashed through Edward’s mind as he raised his aura to a peak. With a tremble of his feet, he vanished into a shadowy blur, disappearing from sight.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, Edward’s figure flashed two meters from Ye Qiu, vanished again, and reappeared even closer to him.

Mu Zhige held his breath in anticipation, watching the battle. He could not intervene, nor did he have the strength to do so. If Ye Qiu won, he and his sister Mu Wanqing would be out of danger, but Mu Zhige didn’t dare to think otherwise, simply hoping that Ye Qiu would defeat Edward.

Thump...

A punch tore through the air, a pure display of physical strength that surprised Ye Qiu that Edward could achieve such a feat.

Edward’s power was pure, not True Qi, but sheer physical strength. His body wasn’t particularly tall or imposing, yet his power was strong enough to kill a cow with a single punch.

Ye Qiu had never before seen such refined strength in a foreigner.

Edward’s techniques were not the routine moves of martial arts but straightforward fighting skills. The most terrifying aspect was the simplicity and efficiency of his fighting skills, which left Ye Qiu wanting to applaud. The moves were concise, with not a single superfluous change, each strike a lethal maneuver to take a life.

The danger was something only those who fought Edward could truly perceive.

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but think of the phrase "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Regardless of which path one takes, high or low, those nearing such simplicity are powerful.

After a long fight without overcoming Ye Qiu, Edward felt as if he were facing a sphere without any flaws, unable to find a spot to penetrate.

"I have no choice but to use it!" Ye Qiu heard Edward sigh.

His spirit bracing, the sense of danger that had vanished during the fight suddenly erupted, and in an instant, five beams of light streaked across the night sky.

Thud thud thud thud thud...

Five consecutive sounds of the air being sliced, and Ye Qiu’s expression chilled.

Suddenly, five jagged lines appeared on his face, five straight slashes from top to bottom, as if he had been divided into five parts in a flash, standing there motionless.

"Expert!" Seeing Ye Qiu directly hit by Edward’s attack, Mu Zhige couldn’t help but exclaim softly.

At that moment, Edward slowly retracted his right hand and pulled it back into his sleeve, a smug smile appearing in his eyes, "No matter how strong you are, you would never expect my attacks to be so fast and sharp!"

"I told you, I would cut you to pieces, and now just dividing you into five parts is only the beginning!" Edward’s words, like the cold wind of December, chilled Mu Zhige to the bone.

"Is he really dead?" Mu Zhige was lost in shock for a long while. An expert who had suddenly appeared, before he had the chance to thank him, had fallen at Edward’s hands, and he felt sorry for this righteous stranger.
