Infernal Artist

Liu Ping continued to twist on the windowsill.

He waddled up to Yana, first turned her into a Samurai God Card and put it away, and then walked to the steps.

The steps leading down were densely covered with bugs.

Liu Ping raised his hands, imitating the appearance of a bug, stepping up the steps one step at a time, and then up the next step.

He began to move through the swarm.

The bugs stayed in place quietly, chirping lowly, and occasionally a few bugs got up and crawled around.

——When there are no external enemies, they seem to enter a state of dormancy.

Liu Ping made a low chirp as he walked.

Lines of burning small characters appeared before his eyes:

"You tried to activate the mysterious skill: Fish Catcher."

"Your imitation level is quite high, and this mysterious skill has been fully developed."

"You have been recognized as one of the insect swarms and are familiar with their communication methods, and will not be questioned."

His expression remained unchanged and he continued to walk forward, stopping at the place where the soldier died.

Bones everywhere.

The armor was in tatters and was eaten away by the swarm of insects.

but--

The huge two-handed sword was deeply inserted into the ancient and broken steps, with only the shallow hilt exposed.

Liu Ping staggered forward and stepped on the hilt of the sword.

Heroic Spirit Operation Interface——

Collect the cards and activate!

The next moment.

With a "bang" sound, the long sword turned into a card, and Liu Ping quickly caught it in his hand and put it away instantly.

An insect nearby turned around sharply and let out a low cry of confusion.

Liu Ping raised his head, screamed fiercely, and even stepped forward to push the insect.

The insect screamed angrily and walked away.

——After observing along the way just now, Liu Ping has discovered that the insect swarm is very tolerant and preferential treatment for "new" insects like himself, who are relatively young and have just budding abilities.

This is probably due to the swarm's habit of caring for the larvae.

Liu Ping continued to move forward.

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"You have obtained a weapon: Shaking the Sky."

"Shaking the sky."

"A two-handed heavy sword."

"As a knight, you can use this weapon, but you are too weak to lift it."

"You must reach at least level 20 before you can use this sword and obtain detailed information about this sword."

Liu Ping sighed silently.

The warrior named "The Enemy of Millions"——

He had clearly told him to run away sternly through the prompts, but he still refused to escape.

A man who came for the artifact.

In the end, nothing was left, only his weapons.

Liu Ping calmed down and continued moving forward.

He walked all the way through the swarm of insects for more than two hours, and finally arrived in front of the huge black metal pillar.

There is indeed a hole here.

I don’t know what it is, but it actually dug a hole in the black metal pillar.

You know, there is a "prisoner" tied to this giant pillar.

Liu Ping gave a low cry, walked up to the big black metal hole, and looked inside.

It's empty inside.

I don't know what it is, but it has corroded a pitted passage in the giant pillar, and it has penetrated deep into the ground. I don't know where it leads to at the end.

Yana's voice suddenly sounded in his heart:

"The power of the laws of time and space in this passage is very strong, and every period of time may be different."

After hearing this, Liu Ping jumped down slightly and jumped into the passage.

There were no insects in the passage, but there was a cold wind.

Liu Ping perked up.

If there is wind, it means it is open.

Maybe this is the only way to the outside world!

He no longer hesitated and climbed down the passage.

Soon, the entire passage became silent, and the insects outside could no longer be heard.

Liu Ping continued to climb downward.

About half an hour later, the passage suddenly changed direction, no longer facing vertically downward, but extending in a horizontal direction.

Liu Ping continued to move forward.

We walked again and again, no matter how long we walked, the road started to go up again.

We walked for several more hours.

Just when Liu Ping suspected that this passage had no end, two lines of burning small words quickly appeared:

"Entering the Territory: Outskirts of York."

"You returned to the Kingdom of Ceylon on December 11, 37th year of the Ceylon Calendar."

is back? Liu Ping continued walking forward for a short distance, and sure enough he saw a staircase leading upward.

The smell of damp earth came from the steps, and you could even hear the faint sound of wind.

——It seems that this place is not far from the ground.

Liu Ping felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Who would have thought that there would be a prisoner underground in York City?

Yana's voice suddenly sounded:

"Liu Ping, have you provoked some powerful guy?"

"What's wrong?" Liu Ping asked.

"You have an extremely powerful tracking mark on your body." Yana said.

"——Maybe it was the monster that was chasing me when I escaped from the tunnel." Liu Ping said.

He used the Rock of Infinity and then sneaked into the frozen Kingdom of Ceylon to get rid of that guy.

A delicate white hand stretched out from the void and patted Liu Ping's shoulder quickly.

"Okay, I've broken that tracking technique." Yana said.

"Broken?" Liu Ping said overjoyed.

"Yes, but I'm too tired... maybe... I need to sleep for a while..." Yana said exhaustedly.

"That whip seems to have used up a lot of power to wake you up. Why are you still so tired?" Liu Ping asked in confusion.

"It replenishes my soul power and can force me to wake up. However, my body has been tortured by the curse for too long and fell from purgatory to eternal night. I finally waited until the curse was lifted and fell into deep sleep again—— My physical strength can no longer support it," Yana said.

Liu Ping thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Will the blessing of sacred power be useful to you?"

"It can indeed add some power. After all, I was once a Paladin, and I am very familiar with the power of the holy side - but treasures with holy power are rare. Why, do you have one here?" Yana said.

Liu Ping looked around and said:

"It's quite safe here. Why don't you just eat something here to replenish your energy?"

"Eat something?" Yana's voice was filled with surprise.

Liu Ping's hands glowed with holy light, and he whispered:

"For the sake of love and justice on earth, I hereby call upon the sacred meal, and on behalf of the mercy of God, I give these sacraments to you free of charge."

A table full of sumptuous food appeared on the long dining table, exuding the fragrance of food.

There were even candles on the dining table.

Yana appeared quietly, stared at the table full of food, and murmured: "Holy Communion Technique."

"Yes, these are foods with sacred attributes. Eating them can replenish your energy consumption - I guess you need to eat something." Liu Ping said.

Yana said nothing, sat at the dining table and started eating.

She ate very gracefully, but the food on the table disappeared very quickly, and she ate nearly half of the food in a short time.

"Am I good at eating?" Yana paused and smiled sheepishly.

"Can it replenish your physical strength?" Liu Ping asked.

"Things with sacred attributes are most suitable for me. When I eat them, I feel powerful." Yana said.

The tiredness on her face faded a little, and a ray of light gradually appeared all over her body.

Liu Ping looked at her beautiful face and suddenly asked: "How long has it been since you fought with someone with all your strength?"

"It's been too long," Yana said.

"I heard that Paladins cannot kill. How did you fight back then?" Liu Ping asked curiously.

"Do you have any misunderstanding? We don't kill, but we can make people miserable." Yana stared at her beautiful eyes and said softly.

"...This is the scope of torture, right?" Liu Ping said.

"Death is a gift to the enemy, and torture is punishment, isn't it?" Yana said.

Her voice gradually became stronger and even had a hint of majesty.

"It makes sense, especially in purgatory and eternal night." Liu Ping said.

"Power is just power, it depends on the person who uses it - for example, I became the Goddess of Torment just to get rid of the curse of the law of cause and effect, but I still failed." Yana said.

"Fortunately, during the Ascension Battle, the curse was lifted." Liu Ping said with emotion.

Yana seemed to remember something and asked: "I remember that there are many kinds of Holy Communion, and some of them require a fee."

"Ah, your waking up is the greatest gift to me. Don't talk about money." Liu Ping waved his hand.

Yana smiled, picked up a glass of milk and drank it.

"Eat more and recover sooner. I am in desperate need of help now," Liu Ping said.

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

Yana reached out and picked up an apple and ate it.

Finished the meal.

Yana's face gained a glow and she said softly: "If I eat a few more meals with sacred attributes, I think I can recover."

"Go and rest now. You can have a good sleep this time. I'll call you during dinner." Liu Ping said.

"Well, by the way, Liu Ping."

"What?"

"Thank you."

"Thank you for nothing. I also want to thank you for showing up in time and saving my life."

"It's not this, it's that time. You didn't go back to the Six Paths, but stayed and saved me from Aldrich - so now you can only stay in Eternal Night and never go back. Yes." Yana looked at him and said.

Liu Ping said nonchalantly: "The card master has to take care of his own god of service, right?"

Yana bit her lip and looked at him steadily.

Liu Ping said, "Go to bed. I'll call you during dinner."

"Um."

Yana responded, and an illusory box appeared around her, quickly turning into a card and flying into Liu Ping's hand.

Liu Ping put away the Samurai God card, but threw out the other card.

Bang!

The devil lord appeared in front of him and said in surprise:

"You just saved me? Wait, you took me in - how did I become your slave?"
