Infernal Artist

"Stop! Listen to me."

Hua Qingkong wanted to continue saying something, but was directly interrupted by Liu Ping.

Liu Ping sighed and said, "Although we received you, the current situation is not optimistic."

Hua Qingkong showed a listening look.

Liu Ping patted Norton on the shoulder and continued: "Now we must divide our forces into two groups."

"Why?" Norton asked.

"Because I still have a very important mission here, and only Hua Qingkong can complete this mission with me."

Liu Ping looked not far away.

The two bugs flew forward and together blocked Libertas from the swarm's pursuit.

Libertas jumped up and landed in front of the three people.

He glanced at Liu Ping, then at Hua Qingkong, and asked puzzledly:

"You won't come with us?"

"Yes," Liu Ping answered, "This matter is very important. You should evacuate first. Once we complete the task, we will go find you."

Norton and Libertas looked at each other and then at Hua Qingkong.

Hua Qingkong didn't speak, lowered her head, still listening silently.

The two of them thought of one thing at the same time.

Could it be——

This man and woman——

"It sounds like something is wrong, but this is Yongye. You have to remember that there are too many secrets here, and there is one thing I cannot say." Liu Ping said.

"Okay, take this." Norton handed a card to Liu Ping.

"What is this?" Liu Ping asked.

"My contact card, through which you will find where we are."

"Okay, you go first."

"The bugs here—"

"It's okay, leave it to me." Liu Ping said.

Norton nodded, stood next to Libertas, and drew a card.

"Listen, although I don't know where we will teleport to, it shouldn't be too dangerous, because this card has some blessing power." Norton said to Libertas.

"Really? Then I also wish you good luck." Liu Ping interjected.

Hua Qingkong continued to listen.

"Let's go. If you really have something to do, you don't have to rush. We will wait for you." Libertas said with deep meaning.

"Okay." Liu Ping smiled.

Norton tossed the card.

Bang!

He and Libertas disappeared from their spot.

——No one knows where they went.

Even they themselves don't know.

Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "I'm finally gone. I didn't live up to what I said in vain - what do you think?"

Hua Qingkong listened carefully but did not answer.

Liu Ping looked at the swarm of insects and said loudly: "Okay, let's go all out to kill all the insects here."

Snapped!

The frost-emitting bug was turned into a splash of plasma by the stingers shot by a group of companions.

Liu Ping placed his hand on the floating card book.

"Lilith," he called.

"Liu Ping, pick one yourself." Lilith's voice sounded from the card book.

"The leader who injured the giant demon insect before was the most powerful one," Liu Ping said.

Among the insects.

An insect corpse lying on the ground suddenly flew up, waving its sharp arms in the air, cutting each insect into several pieces.

In the void.

Lines of burning small characters emerged:

"You spent 9 points of soul power to activate the 'Death Couple'."

9 points of soul power.

This is only 1 point less soul power than that giant insect.

Liu Ping looked up.

I saw the insect shuttle back and forth on the battlefield, waving its sharp insect limbs continuously, immediately cutting off the bodies of countless insects.

"This one is very rare, Liu Ping." Lilith said.

"This is just right. I need it to help me accumulate some soul power." Liu Ping said.

"Why do you need so much soul power? Isn't the upper limit of soul power related to level?" Lilith asked.

"I can use soul power to improve my strength." Liu Ping said.

"Wow, so powerful? How much soul power is left?" Lilith asked.

Liu Ping glanced at the void.

"About another 200 points of soul power from killing, that's basically enough." He said seriously.

Blossoms of soft and warm holy light were swayed out by him, falling into the sea of ​​insects, healing the injuries of the dying insects.

The soul power began to surge.

"To be honest, I didn't expect such a scene, but fortunately there is still a little hope, that is, at level 10, the card master will meet the first node. I hope that there will be a turning point at level 10."

Liu Pingxu said nonchalantly.

Hua Qingkong stood aside, silently listening to every word he said.

time flies.

I don’t know how many bug dolls I have replaced.

I don't know how long the battle lasted.

finally.

All the bugs are dead.

——Only the giant bug and two flying insects were left.

Liu Ping waved gently.

With three consecutive sounds, the insects turned into black cards and fell into his hands.

Burning small words quietly emerged:

"According to the three-point upgrade method, the soul power you gain is converted into experience points, and the percentage is:"

"130%."

"You can start upgrading at any time."

Liu Ping read it at a glance and said: "At other times, I would probably find it very interesting. I can't wait to see what the so-called node of card master's strength is all about."

"But now-"

He walked up to Hua Qingkong, gently picked her up, and said:

"Sorry, we came a little late and turned this place into a trap."

His tone was a little annoyed and a little disappointed.

Hua Qingkong listened silently.

Liu Ping sighed, took steps, and walked into the wind and snow.

"Are you cold?"

"Libertas and I could have come earlier, but we encountered too many things along the way."

"I'm free now, so I'll tell you slowly."

…

Liu Ping talked all the way.

He recounted many things he had encountered before.

Hua Qingkong listened carefully.

The two of them walked for most of the day, and Liu Ping also talked about the scene for most of the day.

at some point.

He suddenly felt something and put Hua Qingkong down.

"Don't move around here. I'll go take a look at the front - something seems wrong in front."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he walked towards the wind and snow in front of the road.

He walked in the thick snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and kept saying:

"Further forward are the ruins of the Kingdom of Ceylon. That is our destination, but I haven't figured out how to do it yet."

After counting the breaths.

He has come a considerable distance.

suddenly.

A dull voice came from the wind and snow: "Finally I found you."

Liu Ping made a defensive gesture and shouted: "Who is it!"

I saw a figure quietly emerging behind Hua Qingkong.

It was a strong, bare-chested man.

He carried a pair of fist blades in both hands, and his whole body exuded majestic power.

"Don't move, you brat, or I'll kill your companions."

The strong man said lazily.

The sharp fist blade pressed against Hua Qingkong's neck.

Hua Qingkong glanced down and didn't make any reaction for a moment.

"Don't touch her, who are you?"

Liu Ping asked.

"I am a boxing demon. I have just exited the Mechanical City, so I can freely come to the restricted area and hunt you and your companions here." The strong man said.

"What do you want?" Liu Ping asked.

The strong man stretched out his other hand and patted a card book.

Bang!

A piece of shackles flew out immediately and landed in front of Liu Ping.

"If you don't want your companion to die, put on the shackles and then we'll talk about the rest." The strong man said.

"Is it about the restricted area pass?" Liu Ping asked.

"Of course, impulsive boys like you will have to pay the price," the strong man said.

"Let me give you a suggestion - I have something very serious to deal with now. Can you come to me later?"

Liu Ping said seriously, trying to make a sincere expression.

The strong man stretched out his hand, grabbed Hua Qingkong's head, and lifted her up.

The sharp blade touched her back.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll give you the last five seconds, otherwise I'll kill this girl, and then I'll kill you!" the strong man said fiercely.

Liu Ping glanced at Hua Qingkong and then at the strong man.

He sighed helplessly, and then——

Shut up.

From the time Libertas and Norton left until now, he finally stopped talking.

opposite.

The strong man began to count:

"five,"

"Four,"

"three,"

"two,"

"one!"

Liu Ping remained silent and even retreated a little further.

There was a sarcastic look on the fist demon's face and he said, "I heard that you took the restricted area pass to save people. I thought you were a decent person, but who knew you would let your woman die like this?"

"Forget it, it's not fun, I'm going to kill this chick in front of you!"

He swung his fist blade and stabbed Hua Qingkong in the heart.

Changes occur suddenly!

Densely dense slender and sharp limbs suddenly appeared from Hua Qingkong's body, instantly piercing the fist demon and flying him directly into the air. All the limbs turned into chaotic afterimages and twisted lightly, directly knocking the fist demon away. It turned into flying blood mist.

"laugh--"

Hua Qingkong chuckled lightly, a faint blood glow emitted from his eyes, and looked up at the blood mist flying in the wind and snow.

"Stop! Listen to me."

Liu Ping said.

The fierce wind blew, causing his clothes to flutter and almost fly——

"Our topic must continue. As for this person, I have indeed discovered that he is nearby, so I left you for the time being."

Liu Ping said.

Before he knew it, Hua Qingkong was standing in front of him, and the sharp limbs raised from behind were only a few inches away from piercing Liu Ping's body.

Liu Ping's expression remained unchanged and he continued to talk:

"Think about it, I'm taking you on the road all the time, so I don't have the energy to deal with him, so I just hope that he is a lazy person, or has a perverted mentality, and wants to catch you to threaten me."

The crimson color in Hua Qingkong's eyes gradually faded.

She looked listening again.

"Alas... I'm late."

Liu Ping sighed.

Behind Hua Qingkong, all the limbs gradually retracted.

She once again transformed into a good, harmless girl, standing there, silently listening to Liu Ping's story.

Liu Ping said: "The emperor of the empire is in the same situation, but I guess this is not a desperate situation. There must be a way to save you from this monster."

He stared at Hua Qingkong.

I saw two lines of small words floating above Hua Qingkong's head:

"Parasite body, prisoner."

"——From her experience, we can know that in the prison room of the Kingdom of Ceylon, there is not only one corpse insect controlled by the prisoner."

Liu Ping sighed.

On the other side of the void, lines of burning small characters floated:

"You activated the 'show stealer' again."

"The parasite will continue to listen to you until you shut up and end this performance."

Liu Ping shook his head and picked up Hua Qingkong.

"Although the prisoner is very powerful, I was also the master of the devil back then."

"Compared to the prisoners, I, the master of the demonic way, seems to be countless levels behind -"

He rambled on.

"It's really frustrating, and I'm a little confused to be honest."

"But there is no need to doubt one thing."

"As long as I live, I will never give up on you."

"We will win."

"I know that at times like this, saying something like this doesn't seem to be convincing at all."

"But life is always so hopeless——"

"I have to cheer myself up."

"Let's go, we're almost there."

Hua Qingkong was in his arms, silently listening to his every word.

Liu Ping walked into the wind and snow step by step.
