World's Best Martial Artist

1356 Chapter 1351-swords drawn and bows drawn

Fang ping found it strange.

I’m just asking. What are you guys doing?

“I say, you guys, are you really going to Rob a beginner martial stage or the catacombs?”

“They’re pretty poor. Robbing them won’t be of much use, right?”Fang ping asked, puzzled.

!!

Fang ping added,”there’s nothing worth thinking about these guys now. Otherwise, I’d have robbed them long ago. It wouldn’t have been your turn.”

He was baring his teeth. This guy was actually more ruthless than them.

He didn’t Rob others because he didn’t like other people’s things.

Fang ping was even more ruthless in his next sentence.

“In my opinion, only the Emperor has some capital now. If you want to Rob, you should Rob the Emperor!”

Fang ping narrowed his eyes and smiled,”guys, why don’t … We Rob the Emperor?” “Don’t be afraid. What’s so great about an Emperor? these guys are much more powerful than King Qian when they forge divine weapons with their bones. Chaos, what do you think?”

Heavenly Hound, didn’t I owe you the Heavenly King’s corpse?

Who cares about the Heavenly King? let’s go F * ck the Emperor together and give you the emperor’s corpse!

Shi po, didn’t you want a spiritual Emperor as your wife? After snatching a spiritual Emperor, you can even bring him back to be trained by the church …

Senior Tian Chen …”

Fang ping looked at Tian Chen, chuckling.”Senior, you can choose whichever Emperor you want to F * ck!”

These words were said in a heroic manner!

Even Tian Chen was speechless.

Look, what is he doing?

God-Emperor!

Regardless of whether it would work or not, this tone was much more overbearing than before.

He said that he would attack the reincarnated venerable sovereigns, but he didn’t say that he would kill them. He only said that he would cut off their paths. In the end, Shi po and the others didn’t express any opinion.

But now …

He felt that Fang ping was just boasting, but the result piqued his interest. He said excitedly,”You have a way to kill the Emperor?”

“You can find the Emperor?” Shi po asked curiously.

Tian Chen really wanted to say,”I’ve found it. Can you beat it?”

In the end … No one asked.

These few guys didn’t seem to care much about this. The latest_epi_sodes are on_the N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net - novelenglish.net . bin

Fang ping replied casually,”we’ll see. I’m just looking for an opportunity this time! “Of course, you guys are still a little weak right now. I’ll bring you guys on a mission. At the very least, you guys should be able to withstand a few moves from an Emperor, right? if you’re killed in one move, wouldn’t that be sending you to your deaths in vain?

I’m a little weak, I’ll see later!”

Fang ping looked at Tian Chen as he spoke, chuckling. “Senior’s strength is quite good. You’ve broken through the peak of eight levels. No matter what, an Emperor can’t kill you in one move, right? If you can’t kill him in one move, that’s your chance!”

Tian Chen was speechless.

Stone break and chaos seemed to have recalled what had happened just now. They coughed lightly and looked at each other without saying a word.

With Fang Ping’s personality, if he were to say what he had just said, he might want to F * ck Tian Chen right now.

Was Fang ping a match for Tian Chen?

It was hard to say!

Fang ping was ranked second after breaking through eight, and Tian Chen was ranked eighth after breaking through eight. However, they were considered to be on par with underworld God, who was ranked fifth. They both had 35 million Cal, which was considered the peak of breaking through eight.

If they really fought, it was indeed hard to say who would win.

Moreover, it might not be a good thing to fall out with him.

However, both Luan and Shi po knew that Tian Chen was probably really going to do it.

Perhaps it was an order from the heavenly Emperor or an Emperor.

At that time, even if they didn’t agree, Tian Chen might have to do it.

Suppressing Wang Jinyang alone?

Suppression … That would depend on how he suppressed it. In the end, it might be Tian Chen who killed the reincarnated three emperors.

The possibility of this was very high!

At that time, it would really be a great enmity that would not rest until one of them was dead.

Right now, it was just a plan and had not been implemented yet, so it could not be considered hatred.

After all, Tian Chen was on good terms with Cang Mao. Or rather, it was not as simple as that. In order to avenge Cang Mao, Tian Chen had died once!

Even if they really fell out, Cang Mao could mediate and the two might not have to fight to the death.

However, if Wang Jinyang’s murder really happened … It would be useless even if the gray cat tried to make peace.

Shi po looked at chaos, his eyes indicating that he should speak or not.

Luan’s eyes flickered.

If he did, Tian Chen might not be happy.

If they did not say anything, Fang ping might find trouble with them if they really did it in the future.

He was very conflicted!

...

To be honest, they also wanted to vindicate their DAOs and become emperors. However, their opponent was Fang ping. That was indeed something worth considering.

Everyone had the same personality, and only a madman would know how terrifying a madman was.

Fang ping was even more insane than a lunatic!

For such a person, it was still fine if they were in the same group now, but if they were discovered, they might not rest until they were dead.

As for Tian Chen’s words about suppressing Wang Jinyang and the others, not killing them …

Tian Chen’s words could be believed?

At that time, he could only keep the secret after killing the three of them.

But what if the secret was leaked?

Tian Chen saw their expressions and frowned slightly. He wanted to say something but stopped.

He did not expect Fang ping to come at this time, and even more so, he did not expect that these three audacious fellows would actually be so afraid of Fang ping.

To be honest, it was beyond his expectations.

...

Why did he choose to cooperate with these three people?

Bold!

Yes, it was because they were bold and dared to do anything. In order to improve their strength, they would even stroke the beards of emperors, let alone the reincarnations of the three emperors.

In the end … Fang ping was not an Emperor.

But now, these few people were actually so hesitant, and even had the tendency to tell on him.

Were these still the Shi po and the heavenly Hound he knew?

He wasn’t too familiar with chaos, but he had been observing for the past few days. This person was lawless, or else he wouldn’t have been able to establish the chaos Divine nation.

This time, it was really beyond his expectations.

……

Fang ping was also looking at them.

That’s weird, what are these guys doing today?

Since he was here, even if they had secrets, they didn’t need to do this to whoever they wanted to Rob, right?

Were these guys afraid that he would reveal his secret?

Don’t be ridiculous!

Fang ping could not be bothered with who they were robbing. As long as they were not robbing him, Fang ping did not care.

These guys …

Fang Ping’s heart jolted!

These few people were not easy to deal with. When had they ever been like this?

Rob … Me?

He was just thinking about it casually, but when he turned around, he thought, if you’re not robbing me, why are you all looking at me like that?

Could it be that … You really want to Rob me?

Fang ping blinked. No way?

When did these guys become so crazy?

Besides, weren’t they working together?

Even if they wanted to Rob him, these people were all broken eight. They couldn’t possibly be so easily suppressed. Look, their expressions were just short of saying,”I have a little secret.”

“You guys want to Rob me?”

Fang ping was bold because of his skills, so he was not afraid at all.

He was too lazy to beat around the bush with them, and even more so too lazy to test anything. He went straight to the point and said,””You guys, why do you look like you want to say something but are stopping? Are you going to Rob me?

Could it be that you’ve taken a fancy to my virtual sky World?

Is your vitality enough to tempt you?

Or was it a weapon transformed from the nine emperors seal?

Or the Dao tree’s Emperor core?

Or should I say, that fishing net?”

Fang ping raised his eyebrows.”I have a lot of good things. I have some divine artifacts too. I have a lot of vitality and an Emperor’s core! That’s right, he still had some genuine blood on his body, and his bones were Jade-like. His body was Jade-like, and he was indeed a fat sheep.

Don’t tell me you’ve really set your eyes on me?”

Fang ping touched his chin and looked at them, saying,”If you really want, just say it! “I won’t run either. Let’s find a place and have a fight. Whoever dies will be unlucky. I also want to eat dog meat …”

However, they had worked together after all. It wouldn’t be good if I killed the big dog for dog meat.

If you have something to say, just say it. You’ve already F * cking broken 8%. After living for so many years, is there a need to be like this?”

Fang ping pursed his lips, looking down on him. He said disdainfully,”If you want to do it, then do it. You’re so timid, like a big girl getting on a sedan! Not to mention you guys, even I sometimes feel like robbing myself. In the Three Realms, the only person who is richer than me is probably the Heavenly King.

I want to give him a good beating …”

As Fang ping spoke, he was stunned for a moment. He said in a low voice,”Are we going to Rob that guy? I say, you guys are too bold! This old man was not just strong …

If you really want to do it, count me in. I’ll take the bead and you can have the rest.

Of course, don’t blame me if you’re killed. I’ll run away after snatching the bead anyway, and you’ll most likely be killed by him. ”

Fang Ping’s interest was piqued, and he said sneakily, That old man’s combat strength is 40 to 50 million Cal, but that doesn’t mean that’s all there is to it. That’s referring to his origin body, not even the beginner martial body.

Why don’t we lure him into using that bead to hit someone … Senior Tian Chen is not bad!

Then I’ll grab the bead and run, and we’ll split the spoils later. How about it?”

Everyone’s faces darkened.

You … You’re good!

He actually wanted to Rob the Heavenly King. They were all convinced.

The heavenly Hound was a little impatient. It glanced at Tian Chen, but Tian Chen remained silent.

The Tengu looked at Fang ping again and suddenly said,””Fang ping, do you know about the star Fragment of the origin?”

“You also know about it?”

Fang ping was a little surprised, but he quickly said nonchalantly,”The fragment of the star of the origin of the celestial Emperor? Those that were scattered in the origin? This was a good thing. It could suppress the origin, strengthen the great Dao, and even allow one’s physical body to enter the origin!

Previously, I even told Heavenly King Zhen and the others to find an opportunity to snatch a batch from the origin land.

You guys are interested too?”

Fang ping thought that they were discussing this as well. He chuckled and said,”You guys are quite bold. I thought you wouldn’t dare to have any ideas about the Emperor! There would definitely be emperors. Of course, it would be better to go to the origin land and sweep them clean.

However, I’ve already said that the few of you are too weak. You won’t be able to withstand a single move from an Emperor and will be killed in one blow.

But … It’s fine. When I get a batch, I’ll give you a little more if I have more.

Don’t I owe you a Heavenly King’s corpse?

“Also, I don’t want to give you big Rock’s origin realm right now. I can use this to exchange for it later.

If it’s chaotic … We’ll talk about it later. If it doesn’t work out, help me get rid of a few enemies …”

Everyone looked at each other.

Tian Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

Fang ping … Not only did Fang ping know that this guy had already started to have ideas about the debris of the star of the origin, but he also knew that Fang ping was not the only one.

More importantly, this fellow was so generous that he even wanted to give them some.

He knew that trouble was coming!

What was Shi po and the others conflicted about?

This is it!

They wanted to become stronger and obtain this, but they were worried that something would go wrong and that they would fall out with the human race. As such, they were quite tempted.

But now …

“Almost all of those things are in the origin land. How are you going to get them …” Tian Chen said in a low voice.

Fang ping laughed,”it’s not like I’ve never been to the origin.” I know so many secrets! Previously, at the origin land, human Emperor had met me. However, that place was indeed dangerous and I almost couldn’t come out!

Also, that old fellow, the heavenly Emperor, was suppressed in the origin land. He didn’t know if he was being suppressed or if he was hiding there. In any case, he had seen it last time.

Next time, as long as you’re careful, you might be able to get some benefits. ”

“You’ve been to the origin?”

Tian Chen frowned. Cang Mao was pulling the dog’s ears and said,””I’ve been there too! Captain, you don’t know, but I went there to play. I wanted to climb out of the door, but I couldn ‘T. I almost lost it.

Oh oh oh, the scammer even got a drop of real blood. Next time I go, I’m going to snatch real blood too. I don’t know if it’s good or not, I’ve never had it before. ”

Fang ping said generously,”there are plenty!” Didn’t they have the king’s drink now? I’ll get the beast Emperor to cut off some Emperor demonic beast meat later. As for the true Blood, it’s not a problem. ”

When the two of them said that, everyone knew in their hearts that they had really been to the origin land!

Fang ping did not know what they had just said. There was no need to remind them about this.

The Tengu glanced at Fang ping and said gloomily,””Do you know that there is such a thing outside the origin?”

“Outside the origin?”

“You guys know where it is?” Fang ping asked in surprise.

“I know.”

“I heard that the great DAOs of the three emperors were forged from this!” The heavenly Hound replied perfunctorily. Now that the three emperors had reincarnated, these guys might be the same. Be careful. If the news got out, the reincarnated three emperors would probably be the target of breaking eight!

Everyone needed to forge their great DAOs, especially the broken Dao behind the void gate.

You have to know that in the past, you had to kill people to cross the broken Dao. The three emperors didn’t kill an absolute beginning stage martial artist. This thing that they made themselves, I don’t know if they got it from the beginning or later. ”

The three emperors didn’t kill people to cross the main road. As for how they passed, no one knew.

The Heavenly King didn’t kill anyone and he passed it himself. This might have something to do with his Foundation.

The nine emperors had been in a hurry when they vindicated their DAOs. At that time, thousands of DAOs were fighting and the war was intense. The emperors who vindicated their DAOs before them did not have time to accumulate anything. Almost all of them vindicated their DAOs by killing.

Fang ping was slightly stunned when he heard this.

The DAOs of the three emperors were forged by the fragments of the star of the origin?

He really did not know about this!

Not to mention him, even the Heavenly King might not know about it. Otherwise, he would have at least told him.

How did the heavenly Hound know?

Heard about it?

If everyone knew about it, Wang Jinyang’s group would have been targeted by those stupid B * stards.

Obviously, this was top secret.

Even if it was true, not many people would know about it.

Fang ping suddenly looked at Tian Chen!

Tian Chen might have known, as he was the disciple of the celestial Emperor.

And it was very ancient!

Why were Tian Chen and the heavenly Hound saying this?

Fang ping was not an idiot. His eyes flickered slightly, and he stared at the silent Tian Chen for a while.

The atmosphere … Was a little heavy.

“What are you looking at?” the heavenly Hound was a little anxious. We were just having a casual chat. Since we’re talking about this, why don’t you hide those guys if you have the time … Oh right, why is this guy here?”

It was only then that it saw li Hansong. It said unhappily,”This guy is a treasure now. Don’t throw him out to seduce us, or we’ll eat him!”

Li Hansong rolled his eyes. ‘I still haven’t settled the score with you for beating me up the last time.’

Unfortunately, he couldn’t beat this dog.

Otherwise, he would have taken his revenge long ago.

Fang Ping’s eyes were deep. He glanced at the Tengu, who was trying to change the topic, then at Shi po and Luan. These two fellows were looking around.

Seeing Fang ping look over, Shi po laughed dryly. “Aren’t we talking about the debris of the star of the origin? Speaking of which, tianchen knows much more about ancient secrets than we do. ”

After all, Tian Chen had not taken any action yet, and Shi po and the heavenly Hound did not want to make things too complicated.

Tian Chen had an extraordinary relationship with the cangmao and the cangmao, and they were still allies. It was not worth it to fall out with them over something that they had not done.

The reason why the Tengu mentioned this was to remind Fang ping.

Pay attention!

Since Fang ping already knew, he would not be so careless.

As long as he wasn’t careless, the three of them would be safe. Tian Chen probably wouldn’t make another move, and the matter would naturally pass.

As such, it would be best if they did not fall out with each other.

Fang ping laughed. Beside him, old man Li seemed to have understood something as well. He shot a glance at Fang ping and shook his head slightly.

Although he didn’t know what was going on exactly, these few people … Might have been discussing these things before and even had the intention to attack iron head and the others.

But since he didn’t do it, and the heavenly Hound had mentioned it, he would just forget about it.

We’re still partners!

There was no need for the human race to push these few lousy eight-stars to the enemy’s side for something that they had not done.

Since the heavenly dog and the others had said so, they should have given up.

Moreover, Fang ping had also said that he could go to the origin land. If he really got it, he was willing to share it with them.

Since that was the case, there was no need for these people to attack old Wang and the others.

……

Fang ping saw old man Li’s signal.

At this moment, Fang ping was laughing happily. He looked at Tian Chen, not the slightest bit angry. He laughed and said,”Senior Tian Chen really knows a lot! Even the Heavenly King doesn’t seem to know about this. Senior is really well-informed. ”

Tian Chen closed his eyes and said nothing.

Fang ping stared at him, but he did not open his eyes.

Fang ping looked at the old cat who was playing with dog ears. This cat did not seem to have reacted.

Fang ping laughed and suddenly said,”Tengu, the gray cat is here. This guy hasn’t eaten fish in a long time. Aren’t you going to fish with it? We’ll roast fish later!”

The heavenly Hound’s eyes were solemn. It looked at Fang ping and said in a deep voice,”Fang ping, that’s what the cat-feeding guy said!”

“Heavenly Hound, what are you saying?”

Fang ping laughed.”I asked you to bring the gray cat to go fishing, but you’re not even willing. Big cat, I can’t keep this dog anymore. Why don’t we go back and stew dog meat?”

The heavenly Hound bared its teeth at him, its eyes fierce.

On top of his head, cangmao looked at Fang ping suspiciously, then stepped on the Tengu’s head again.

The heavenly Hound shook its head, paused for a moment, and broke through the air, saying,””Go catch a fish. Fang ping, don’t mess around. You know what I mean!”

The heavenly Hound did not want the two sides to fight.

On one side was Tian Chen, who had fed it and the cat for tens of thousands of years and died once for the cat. On the other side was the cat owner. It didn’t want the two to fight.

If not for that, it would not have said those words before.

After Fang ping and the others had gone far away, he looked at Tian Chen again and waved his hand to signal iron head and the others to go away.

He smiled and said,”senior Tian Chen, tell me, why?” Logically speaking, you’ve raised Cang Mao for so many years and Cang Mao has feelings for you. As for me, I’m not the kind of person who would find trouble with my own people.

I’m on the same side as the senior, but the senior doesn’t seem to treat me as one.

Of course, I can understand.

After all, I’m not familiar with senior, but … You should at least give me a reason, right?

Just because you can vindicate Dao?”

Tian Chen opened his eyes, looked at him, and said slowly,””Just because you can vindicate Dao! The experts of the Three Realms all live to vindicate the Dao!”

Fang ping exhaled and was silent for a while. He said,”Is this the answer senior is giving me?”

“Yes.”

“Then, senior, have you given up?”

Tian Chen remained silent.

Fang ping narrowed his eyes.”How about this, senior? if I get those things in the origin land, I’ll give you a copy. What do you think?”

Tian Chen was still silent.

“So, senior is determined not to give up?”

At this moment, Shi po and Luan both sensed that something was wrong.

Fang ping was straightforward, and Tian Chen did not lie.

He would not give up!

Yes, Tian Chen did not give up.

Even though Fang ping had promised to help him get some Star Fragments of the origin, he still chose not to give up.

This was what silence meant.

Why?

The two of them were slightly shocked. As expected, Tian Chen was not just after the debris of the star source.

As for Tian Chen, he did not lie to Fang ping. He made his stand clear. Since he already knew, then he knew. He still did not want to give up.

“Why?”

“Senior, can you give me a reason?” Fang ping laughed.

“Dao vindication!” Tian Chen said in a low voice.

“I said, I’ll give it to you!”

Fang Ping’s eyes glinted with ferocity. ‘I’ll give it to you, yet you still say you’ll vindicate Dao. Are you just going to brush me off like that?’

Tian Chen fell silent again.

“Senior, I like to nip danger in the bud! But I was thinking that the relationship between senior and the cangmao and the heavenly dog isn’t ordinary, so if I speak to senior in a friendly manner, does senior really think that I would have any scruples?”

“You have a choice,” Tian Chen said in a deep voice.”I also have my own purpose!”

“So you’re saying that the negotiations are unsuccessful?”

Fang ping laughed and looked at stone break and chaos.”What do you two say?”

Shi po and Luan looked at each other, frowning. The current situation was much more troublesome than they had expected.

They thought Tian Chen would give up!

In the end, Tian Chen’s meaning was very clear. Even if it was not to vindicate Dao, he had to break the three’s Dao.

Fang ping licked his lips and ignored the two of them.”Senior, do you think that you don’t have to care about anything even if you break through to the peak of eight?”

Tian Chen remained silent.

Fang ping was a little impatient, a little irritated, and a little brutal.”Tianchen, have you made up your mind to make a move on them?”

The peak of breaking eight!

Since he had made up his mind to attack the three of them, unless he kept the three of them on earth or by his side, how could he guard against them?

Tian Chen was still silent.

Fang Ping’s patience had reached its limit!

He gave face to the gray cat and the heavenly Hound. He could see that the heavenly Hound and Shi po did not want them to fall out with each other. Otherwise, they would not have shown him that kind of expression.

It was obvious that they were deliberately revealing some information, so Fang ping did not need to care about them.

However, Tian Chen was still determined even after the heavenly Hound had exposed him. This was clearly not for Dao vindication, nor was it for himself. Someone had forced him to do this!

Who was it?

The heavenly Emperor was the most likely candidate!

Why?

Fang ping wanted to know now, but Tian Chen would not tell him.

Fang ping felt that he had given enough face, not Tian Chen ‘s. In fact, he did not owe Tian Chen anything.

He was giving face to the old cat and the heavenly dog, giving face to the stone breaking and chaos.

Did Tian Chen really think that he couldn’t do anything to him just because he had broken through the peak of eight?

“Tianchen, do you really want to be my enemy?”

Fang ping asked again.

He hadn’t been so patient for a long time. If it was an enemy, he would kill. If it was one of his own, he wouldn’t do this.

Was there a need to ask again and again?

But today, he still asked again and again.

Fang ping licked his lips. Suddenly, he grabbed li Hansong and pulled him in front of him. He said coldly, “He’s here. Tianchen, I’ll give you a chance! If you attack him now, I’ll kill you!

You can’t kill them. You can kill one of the reincarnations of the three emperors, but you have to find a way to kill the other two!”

Tian Chen looked at Fang ping, then at li Hansong.

Li Hansong had actually understood some of it. At this moment, he grinned.

There was nothing to be afraid of.

Even if Tian Chen was at the peak of breaking eight, and Fang ping, according to him, had only just broken two gates, he might not be able to protect him.

However, li Hansong was really not too afraid.

He knew what Fang ping meant. Tian Chen was not an ordinary person. He had lived with the gray cat and the gray dog for tens of thousands of years and died in battle for the gray cat. The gray cat had actually helped the human race a lot. Otherwise, Fang ping would not have given up the life essence of the Dao tree and given it all to the gray cat.

If Tian Chen did not make a move today, Fang ping would probably not make a move on him.

However, once he made his move … He did not know if Fang ping could cut Tian Chen, but Fang ping would definitely not show any mercy.

With Fang Ping’s personality, he would not hesitate or regret anything after he had done this.

Even if Cang Mao didn’t agree, he would still kill Tian Chen!

Li Hansong licked his lips, feeling slightly pressured. Suddenly, li Hansong broke away from Fang ping and took a step forward. He grinned and said,”Senior, please make a decision so that I can be more relaxed.”

Give Tian Chen a chance!

Otherwise, after this incident, the three of them might be in trouble.

However, as long as Tian Chen made a move, li Hansong knew that he would be the only one in trouble, even if Fang ping could not stop Tian Chen now.

However, if they were prepared and completely fell out with each other, old Wang and old Yao would definitely be fine.

He took a step forward, and Fang ping did not stop him.

At this moment, Fang Ping’s Qi activity suddenly disappeared. Like a dead person, he closed his eyes and no longer looked.

……

At this moment, in the distance, the heavenly Hound was flying towards the depths of the sea with the gray cat.

But at this moment, Cang Mao felt strange. He opened his mouth slightly and a figure flashed past. The heavenly Hound almost didn’t sense it. When the person was gone, he said,”That was …”

Cang Mao wanted to say something, but he remembered that the scammer had to keep it a secret, so he mumbled and didn’t say anything.

He was a little confused.

Why would the real liar leave?

The heavenly Hound’s expression changed. What was that?

No, who was that?

It was also an expert in breaking the two gates. In the end, when the other party left, it could vaguely sense the fluctuations.

He came out of the old cat’s cat world!

Fang ping!

It was Fang ping!

The heavenly Hound’s heart trembled. It was afraid that something bad was about to happen.

What was Fang Ping’s strength?

Could the Fang ping from before have been a clone?

However, it could sense Fang Ping’s ability to break 8!

Fang Ping’s real body was hidden. He might have … Broken through nine!

Since he was hiding, it meant that he did not want anyone to know. Now, he had come out of the cat world …

He wanted to kill Tian Chen!

Fang ping would rather expose his true form than to kill Tian Chen. There was no need for him to use his true form.

Having understood this, the heavenly Hound hurriedly turned around and flew back.

Something bad was going to happen!

Fang ping had actually broken nine, and he had even used his true form. This meant that he would not stop until he killed Tian Chen. The Tengu panicked for a moment. The cat-feeding dog had probably not expected Fang ping to break nine.

If he was careless, he would really be killed!
