Infernal Artist

Chapter 101 New Name

Everything came to a standstill.

In Dark Mist Town, everyone except Liu Ping seemed to be in some kind of frozen state.

Even the light and shadow in the sky were frozen by some unknown force.

A line of burning small words quickly appeared:

"When you expressed your desire to obtain the 'Nightmare Name', the gods of the past spent a huge amount of divine power to completely seal everything."

"You are the first being to open your arms to the nightmare era when it returns."

"The old gods of the nightmare era are hiding in the void, waiting to witness this extremely sacred scene."

"Please proceed with caution."

All the small characters were displayed quickly, as if to cover up their own existence, they flashed past and disappeared from Liu Ping's eyes.

The next second.

The old gods looked down at Liu Ping and hummed in their mouths: "You come from this era and grew up as a card master under the rule of the gods of purgatory, but now you are about to fall into the embrace of nightmare——"

"Joker, do you know what 'loyalty' means?"

Liu Ping looked up at it.

Around the old god, the void twisted with boiling lava.

The sequence says that other old gods are hidden in the void——

Liu Ping suddenly smiled and said, "I only need to say one sentence and you will understand."

"Say." The old god said.

"I come from the world above my head." Liu Ping said.

The old god looked up at the lingering lights and shadows in the sky, thought for a few breaths, and looked down at Liu Ping again.

"Yes, I know about this..."

"The world of practice is a world stolen from the void by Lady Pain, specifically used to replenish slaves and resources for her."

"No wonder you are full of spiritual power. No wonder you don't have any sense of belonging to purgatory. It turns out that you almost became the slave of Lady Pain."

Liu Ping also looked at the light and shadow, and said softly: "Originally, I had a way to delay it for a while, and then directly enter that world, but after I knew what you were doing, I gave up this idea completely."

"Why?" asked the old spirit.

"Because I need the nightmare name, I need to become stronger step by step. Sooner or later, I will kill these gods who use us as slaves." Liu Ping said.

The old gods listened attentively and said seriously: "It is not an easy task to kill those high-ranking purgatory gods, but you made the absolutely right choice. After all-"

"That's what we're going to do next."

It stretched out a slender arm, gently grabbed it from the dark night, and picked off a shining star.

This star was embedded in the deep dark night, and turned into the back of the card together with the darkness.

The old gods stretched out their hands, covered the cards, and asked:

"Joker, what kind of fighting style are you good at?"

"A lot." Liu Ping said.

"A lot? But you are too weak." The old god said.

"The reason why I am weak is because my knowledge is limited, and I have never heard of such an interesting profession as a card master." Liu Ping said.

"I can feel that you are telling the truth. It is not bad for someone like you to be the first to embrace the nightmare era..."

The old god spread his hand and showed the front of the card in front of Liu Ping's eyes.

It was a man wearing gray armor, holding a long knife, and a misty and dim halo appeared above his head.

The endless dark mist turned into a cloak and draped over him, while a series of shadows appeared behind him, as if something was following closely.

The old god said: "Among the many names, 'Joker' is just a very common one. It can even be said that the power of the name 'Joker' is extremely rare, but this card in my hand is not It’s the same, its name brings together the power of the nightmare era.”

Liu Ping said: "I am a monk halfway, so it would be good if I could draw a professional card - but Sir, what is the name of your card?"

"Nightmare Walker."

The old god held up the card and tossed it gently.

The card turned into a bright star again, rushed into the night sky, and quickly disappeared into the light and shadow of the sky.

"This card has gone to the world of practice. Those card masters who heard about it will definitely fight for it."

"I thought you were going to give it to me." Liu Ping sighed.

"That's not possible. Only the card master who has defeated all contenders is qualified to get this professional card. This is its wish and our requirement." The old god said.

"What about me? No chance?" Liu Ping asked.

"No, clown, as the first person to embrace the nightmare era, you will get a secret about this professional card." The old god said.

"I'm all ears," Liu Ping said.

"This card cannot be found." The old god said.

"...Can't be found?"

"Yes, you have to find another way to make it yours."

After saying that, the old gods stepped back step by step and walked towards the depths of the wilderness.

Liu Ping shouted from behind it: "Hey, if there is a continuous stream of people looking for this card, won't the fight never end?"

The old god laughed lowly and said without looking back:

"Anyone who comes to compete for the title of this nightmare will know one thing clearly -"

"There is only one winner of the title, and all failed card masters will contribute their lives and become sacrifices to the nightmare."

The words fell.

The light and shadow in the sky suddenly surged and spread in all directions.

In an instant, the entire Dark Mist Town disappeared.

A line of burning small words quickly appeared in the void:

"Notice!"

"The laws of time and space have been modified by the old gods."

"From now on, no one who enters can leave the world of practice until the 'Nightmare Walker' is born."

"What happened just now?"

"I don't know, I thought I was dead."

"Strange, are we still alive?"

"Where's the monster?"

"I don't know, it seems like we entered hidden time and space all of a sudden."

Everyone returned to normal again, talking among themselves.

Gradually, their eyes focused on Liu Ping.

——During the entire battle, the only one who caused trouble to the old god was Liu Ping.

If something happened, he deserved to know.

"alright."

Liu Ping clapped his hands and said, "Don't think too much. What follows is a battle between card masters. It has nothing to do with you. You just need to do what you are supposed to do and survive in this world."

"That's it." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The team leader was the first to react and shouted: "We are in the world of practice at the moment. Everyone should start taking action immediately according to the original plan!"

"Yes!" everyone said in unison.

"Quick, quick, quick, put away the guns on the city wall!"

“Tidy up your house, change your look and style.”

"Arrange career——"

"You are a blacksmith, you are a vegetable seller, you are a hairdresser, you go to teahouses, you go wandering on the streets, you all take action!"

Steel was replaced with mud bricks, mechas were replaced with restaurants, and the camp was transformed into a vegetable market.

Everyone was in a hurry.

Fortunately, they were all veterans and had everything set up in just a few minutes.

Liu Ping looked around.

Yana and Andrea are both there.

The rabbit disappeared.

——It wasn’t my card in the first place, so it couldn’t follow?

That seems to be it.

Liu Ping looked outside the city again.

There were only two paths outside the city that were almost covered by the wind and sand, leading to the depths of the desert.

This place... seems a bit familiar...

"What happened just now? I feel like I am enveloped by vast divine power. I have lost my senses and cannot move at all." Yana asked.

Liu Ping said: "According to that guy's promise, I said that I wanted to compete for the title of Nightmare, and the guy accepted it - it seems that they need manpower now."

He briefly explained the process.

"A card that cannot be found? How to fight for it?" Andrea asked curiously.

"'Nightmare Walker'... did you really see it turn into a star and fly into the world of practice?" Yana pondered.

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

"It seems to be the name of a star." Andrea said.

"The name of the star?" Liu Ping asked.

Yana explained: "Like 'Joker' and 'Blood Knight', star names also need to meet certain specific conditions before they can make the cards exclusive, but the difference is that this profession itself has a unique Power can be activated without drawing a card.”

"What about exclusive power?" Liu Ping asked.

"For example, if I regain a little strength, just stand in front of you, you will feel yourself being grabbed by the throat again and again, and you will continue to fall into a state of suffocation." Yana chuckled.

"Awesome." Liu Ping praised.

The three of them were talking when they suddenly looked up to the sky.

In the sky, two rays of fire rushed past, circled above Dark Mist Town, and then fell down together, stopping in front of Liu Ping.
