Infernal Artist

The carriage was running forward on the road.

Several thieves were riding horses, with guards on the left and right.

The thief who had been a coachman before was on the carriage, whipping the horse with great dignity.

——Liu Ping issued another task.

This task is very simple, just take him to the Mir Village.

He wanted to see his territory.

For the thieves, this leader is so generous and the tasks he issues are so simple, it is really a dream come true.

Since the boss is so generous.

——People like you have to serve well, right?

"Sir, turn around the curve ahead and we'll be there soon," the coachman said loudly.

"Oh, I see."

Liu Ping sat in the carriage, moving the box of gems and gold coins back and forth out of boredom, then opened the card book and looked at a few friends.

Yana sat on the desk next to the fountain, reading a book seriously.

Zhao Chanyi was immersed in the practice of magic and sword skills.

This time she tried her best but was unable to hurt the prisoner, which was still very exciting.

Devil Lord——

He seemed to be sleeping, but also seemed to be in a coma.

A thief's voice came from outside the carriage:

"Sir, why are you going to Mir Village?"

"Go and take a look - what's wrong?" Liu Ping answered.

"It seems that things are not peaceful over there recently," the thief said.

"It depends on what you said," another thief laughed: "Nobles can never stop, unlike us who are just living for a living."

"Everyone, what exactly is Taiping?" Liu Ping asked quickly.

Several thieves looked at each other.

"Sir, are you not a professional around here?" asked the coachman.

"Of course not, I'm from York City." Liu Ping said.

"No wonder." The thieves said in relief.

"The Baron of Mill Village seems to have offended the Viscount. He has been suppressed recently and a lot of things have happened in his village." A thief said.

"oh……"

Liu Ping glanced at the box filled with gold coins and gems next to him.

The viscount is dissatisfied with the previous baron. What does it matter to me?

At worst, I'll give him a gift to get closer to him.

In the future, promotion will depend on others——

But why do I always have a bad feeling?

"Stop!" Liu Ping shouted immediately.

The carriage braked quickly and stopped.

"What's wrong, sir?" a thief asked in surprise.

"Look back, change direction, let's go!" Liu Ping said.

Just kidding, I'm just looking for sequence cards, not to top the tank.

It's best not to run into any danger at all.

"But we are already here, sir." The thief said outside.

suddenly.

Everything around became silent.

A sharp whistling sound came.

Liu Ping's expression changed, he broke the car door and flew out quickly.

boom! ! !

Fire shot into the sky.

The carriage was blown to pieces by a ball of fire, rolled in the air and landed in the trees nearby.

Several thieves had no time to react and were killed along with their men and horses.

A giant floating eyeball appeared above the road ahead.

Under the eyeball, stood a man wearing a gray low-brimmed hat.

He looked at Liu Ping and said calmly:

"Lord Baron, I have been ordered to complete your examination."

"Wait a minute," Liu Ping said, "Today is my first day as a baron. I don't know you at all, and I have no grudge against you. Why should you block my way?"

After hearing this, the man looked at him carefully and said in surprise: "There is really a new person, what should I do?"

He looked up at the giant eyeball in the sky.

A voice came from the eyeball:

"Oh, no matter, our gambling game today has already begun - thirty-six high-ranking nobles have opened the Eyes of Chigurh and are watching this fight. Everyone has already placed the bets they should place. How can we give up halfway?"

After hearing this, the man took off his hat and saluted Liu Ping.

"Did you hear that? The Viscount said that today's exam is imperative."

Liu Ping looked at the eyeball in the sky.

I saw two lines of burning small words floating next to my eyeballs:

"Eye of Chigurh."

"This is one of the thirty-six Qig Eyes. It can connect to each other from a very distant location and observe the situation at the current location together."

He looked at the man again.

There is also a line of small words on the man's head:

"Card Master, Level 15."

There's nothing we can do about it.

It seems that he must bear this incident for the previous baron.

"But you don't know what the exam is?" Liu Ping asked.

"Let's see how many moves you can make before you are killed by me," the man said.

"Do you have to kill me?" Liu Ping asked.

"I can't help it. The Viscount invested a lot of money tonight. I also hope that the Viscount can win more." The man said regretfully.

A card book glowing red appeared in his hand.

Liu Ping said mockingly: "We are all nobles, can the viscount kill the baron so casually?"

"I'm sorry, the Baron is the Viscount's dog." The man said.

Liu Ping drew out his knife.

——The voices of Yana and Zhao Chanyi rang in his ears at the same time:

"let me!"

Liu Ping shook his head and said: "...Those nobles are watching. God knows what level they are and what methods they have. I will never expose you unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Are you sure?" Yana asked.

"I haven't played against other card masters for a long time. Let's give it a try." Liu Ping said.

"Kill that arrogant guy." Zhao Chanyi said.

opposite.

The man took out a lighter and lit a pipe: "From now on, I am going to take your life, Lord Baron. I hope you don't die too quickly."

His card book opened and a card flew out.

The card turned into a flash of red light, quickly passed through the sky, and hit Liu Ping head-on.

So fast!

Liu Ping's pupils shrank suddenly and he raised the long knife in his hand.

Endless complex sword lights suddenly appeared in the void, completely sealing the surrounding area.

鉽龘齬齾爩羗循龖厵纞苋 cut!

The red light hit the wall-like sword light and immediately bounced back, lingering in mid-air.

——But it was a falcon covered in flames.

"Ah, Lord Baron is quite capable."

The man turned the lighter again and let the flames come out——

Bang!

Another card flew out of the card book and turned into dense fireballs, spreading all around.

In the sky, the Viscount shouted excitedly:

"died!"

Huhhhhhhh——

The fireballs hit Liu Ping overwhelmingly.

Liu Ping shook his head, held the long knife in his backhand, and rushed towards the fireballs.

After two consecutive upgrades from level 8, all his attributes have increased a bit, and both his strength and reaction are much stronger than before.

I saw his figure like an afterimage, dodging and moving among the many fireballs.

Although those fireballs were fierce, none of them could hit him.

In the card book, Yana nodded and said: "In terms of individual combat ability, Liu Ping is still very reassuring."

"What do you know? You don't know him at all," Zhao Chanyi said disdainfully: "He had never been defeated before. It was just because of you that he came to this completely unfamiliar world and had to start from scratch."

Yana was a little angry at first, but gradually fell silent after hearing this.

A moment.

Liu Ping had already passed through the dense fireball and met the fire falcon.

"Don't make trouble."

He shouted low, pulled out his shield and threw it at the Fire Falcon, but with his backhand, he slashed at the card master opposite him from the air.

Spring breeze cuts!

But he saw a blade of light rising from the ground into the sky, hitting the card master hard.

The card player was caught off guard and quickly turned the lighter——

A layer of spherical flames appeared on his body, protecting him.

But the impact of the sword light was still too strong, and it directly sent the card master flying.

"good."

Liu Ping's eyes lit up, and the long knife in his hand turned invisible, slashing him countless times in the void.

Dang Dang Dang Dang!

The spherical flame on the card master's body was hit repeatedly and was about to shatter——

Liu Ping hesitated for a moment.

The third move of Spring Breeze Slash uses the halo to directly pass through the space with the knife and strike the opponent.

——As soon as the halo appeared, his profession was exposed.

He simply held the knife in his arms and jumped up high.

The card master on the other side shouted: "Fire Falcon!"

The bird was hit by the shield, turned around in the air, and flew straight behind Liu Ping.

This time, Liu Ping was forced to take action to save himself.

If he fights back, the card master will have a little more breathing space.

But how could Liu Ping not know the other party's intentions?

"Want to draw a card?"

His eyes were sharp, and the long knife in his hand suddenly disappeared.

In the endless dark night, a dazzling arc-shaped sword light suddenly bloomed, hovering in mid-air, and lingered for a long time.

Liu Ping fell to the ground.

The fire falcon let out a scream, and scattered like dots of fire, disappearing in the night sky.

The card master then landed.

He looked at the shattered lighter in his hand and praised: "I have never seen anyone use sword skills to a situation like yours. Not only did he kill my Fire Falcon, but he also broke my lighter -"

"Every time you draw a card, you must turn the lighter." Liu Ping said.

"Yes, I have to release the flames to make the card exclusive." The card master admitted.

He smiled slightly, took out a brand new lighter from his arms and said, "You almost succeeded, but unfortunately - I have a lot of lighters with me."

Liu Ping said: "I smashed your lighter just in case."

"What do you mean?" the card master asked.

"You are already dead. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept this fact for a while and put out some cards that will die together." Liu Ping said while taking a few steps back.

The card master was stunned.

A line of blood appeared on his neck.

Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "There are disadvantages to using a knife too fast. Fortunately, you are already too late."

Bang——

The card master's head shot up into the sky, and blood spurted out several meters high from his neck.

Liu Ping slowly sheathed the knife and looked up at the giant eyeball in the sky.

The giant eyeball was also looking down at him.

A series of slight discussions came from the giant eyeball.

"The bet...failed..."

"All lost..."

"did not expect……"

Sudden.

The Viscount's angry voice overwhelmed all the discussions and rang in the sky:

"Damn it, how dare you kill my card master..."

Liu Ping's legs were so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He kept saying, "That's not right, sir. Didn't you secretly tell me that I must win?"

In the giant eyeball, all sounds fell silent.

Liu Ping showed a look of panic and said slowly: "Master Viscount, don't burn bridges by crossing the river. I know that you secretly invested a large sum of money specifically to bet on me to win."

Dead silence.

The whole world was dead silent.
