Infernal Artist

county seat.

Outside the low wall, there was a person standing.

He was thin and ragged, and he was pressed against the wall motionless, as if he didn't exist.

It was already dark at this time.

A heavy rain hit, causing the torches in the hands of the patrolling soldiers to go out.

The soldier rode his horse through the muddy road twice, but he didn't even realize that there was a person standing next to the wall.

This man was leaning against the wall, eyes closed, silently waiting for something.

A moment.

A black insect flew over, landed on his shoulder, and burrowed into his body with a slight swipe.

"It turns out that the enemy was encountered in the north first... allowing them to discover the potential for encirclement..."

"It was a young scout who did it."

The man was silent for a few breaths, shook his head and said:

"Hmph, he's got some talent for being able to kill our team, but it's not worth my while."

"more importantly--"

"The Bai Ling Guan clearly got the false news we spread and already thought that there were not many enemies coming this time. Why did it suddenly mobilize the entire sect to fight head-on with our sect?"

The man murmured something, leaned against the wall, and continued to wait.

A few more breaths passed.

Another black insect flew over and burrowed directly into his ear.

"Liu Ping!"

"The head of Bailing Temple accepts a disciple. The disciple suggests that he should help the government and kill all my saints with all his strength..."

"This revenge must be avenged!"

The man suddenly opened his eyes, put his hand on the ground, and shouted: "Go and investigate, thoroughly investigate this person named Liu Ping!"

Densely packed black insects fell from his arms, flew out in the night rain, and quickly dispersed in all directions of the county.

It didn't take long.

An insect flew back and landed on the man's hand, making a slight chirping sound.

"Xu Sheng..."

The man read a name.

…

Fuyun Mountain.

Bailing Taoist Temple.

"Master, please teach me the next few summoning spirit sword techniques." Liu Ping said.

"No! You've only been here for a few days? Do you want to learn Zhen Sect's magical skills?" the leader sternly refused.

"But didn't you learn the first move from me?"

"I thought you wouldn't be able to learn it. You know it after just one look, so I won't teach you that move."

"……well."

A book on swordsmanship, a move learned, and once the appetite is whetted, the rest of the content will not be read.

Liu Ping deeply regretted it.

"Don't think too much about it. In fact, it's because this set of sword techniques resonates so easily with the Five Elements and is so powerful. I'm afraid you won't be able to control it after you learn it and hurt one of your own," the leader said.

Liu Ping nodded.

This consideration is also correct.

——The premise is that you are really only fifteen years old.

"Master, I saw that the previous explanation of the boxing technique mentioned a lot of visions. Why can't I use it?" he asked.

The leader said: "In ancient times, we humans could move the sun, moon and stars with a random punch, making us invincible with the power of the five elements."

"But now I don't know why, it's getting harder and harder for us to sense the power of the five elements."

"Didn't you find the reason?" Liu Ping asked.

"Why didn't you look for it? Several generations of people have been looking for it all their lives, but they still haven't found the reason."

The leader sighed and said: "The skills are still those skills, and the world is still this world, but the connection between our human race and the Five Elements is gradually disappearing."

Liu Ping fell into silence.

——In fact, it is because the power of the law is fading.

But this cannot be said at this moment.

How could a fifteen-year-old boy know such a secret?

Either he will be regarded as a madman, or he will directly arouse suspicion.

The master said: "You have only been introduced for a short time. You should have practiced for a few more years before teaching this sword technique——"

He smiled helplessly and continued: "In those days, any boxing technique we performed could shock the world. As for this spirit-summoning sword technique, it was even more incredible."

"How strong is this sword technique?" Liu Ping asked.

"The sword is like the scorching sun, and there is no one who can stop it."

The leader said something, but a look of loneliness appeared on his face.

Liu Ping was no longer in a hurry to see the sword skills behind him, and sighed and said, "Maybe in a few years, the power of the Five Elements will come back."

"Everyone hopes this is the case, but the hope is getting slimmer and slimmer." The leader said with emotion.

At this time, a disciple walked into the hall, cupped his fists and said, "I've met the master, young master uncle."

"What's the matter?" the leader asked.

"Someone is looking for Junior Master Uncle, his name is Xu Sheng, saying that he is Junior Senior Uncle's long-term follower." The disciple said.

Liu Ping suddenly said: "Oh, he is a brother of mine. Master, do you think he can come in?"

The headmaster said: "Of course, since we are friends, it would be better for you to greet me in person. There are also guest rooms in the temple. Just say hello and someone will arrange it for you."

"Thank you, Master."

"Go, meet your friends, and come see me tomorrow."

"yes."

Liu Ping stood up and walked out of the hall, following the disciple all the way to the door of the Taoist temple.

As expected, I saw Xu Sheng standing outside, carrying a baggage and looking like he was going to stay here.

Liu Ping smiled and greeted, "Xu Sheng!"

Xu Sheng saw him as soon as he turned around and laughed: "Brother Liu, I'm here again!"

He ran towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping looked at it with a smile, and suddenly saw two lines of small words appearing above Xu Sheng's head:

"A complete parasite."

"Description: Completely occupy the flesh and blood body, read everything about the parasitized person, and control the parasitized person's body until the moment of death."

"Special note: The parasite will be weak for a period of time after leaving the host."

The moment the small characters appeared, Xu Sheng had already run halfway and was about to approach Liu Ping.

The smile on Liu Ping's face did not change and he said: "As expected, I followed you. It seems that you still remember what happened when we first met."

Xu Sheng recalled it briefly and laughed: "Yes, Brother Liu, you teach me the complete martial arts, and I will be a bull and a horse for you!"

"That's so embarrassing." Liu Ping sighed.

"Brother Liu, don't be polite to me!"

"good."

The light of the sword flashed, and the two were separated at the first touch.

Xu Sheng's severed arm shot up into the sky, and he shouted angrily: "Brother Liu! Why are you doing this!"

Liu Ping did not answer, but chased after him, slashed five times with his long knife, and pierced Xu Sheng's chest once.

"You are so cruel!" Xu Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Thank you for the compliment." Liu Ping said still smiling.

In an instant, I saw a huge meat ball bulge on Xu Sheng's back, instantly ejected and flew towards the path outside the Taoist temple.

Liu Ping was already prepared, and he followed the opponent the moment he moved.

"How do you know -" the meatball lost his voice.

Liu Ping's eyes were as cold as ice, he wielded the knife with both hands and exhaled loudly:

"cut."

I saw flames rising from the blade, taking on the shape of a unicorn, and it flew towards the meat ball with just one move.

boom! ! !

The meat ball was hit by Qilin three times in a row and burned into a puddle of meat, falling to the ground.

It suddenly burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, fifteen years old! There is such a genius!"

"But you killed your good brother today with your own hands. Let me see how you can overcome your inner demons in the future!"

Liu Ping looked at it coldly and raised the long knife high:

"He was killed by you, how could I have inner demons?"

"Kill him with your own hands!" the meat stall roared.

"In order to deal with me, you can even attack the people closest to you. Aren't you afraid of what the people in the world think of you? Let me tell you, you will never be a leader of mankind in your life because you are so indifferent to your own people, just for the sake of To save your own life, you chose such a selfish way to kill one of your own!" Natan said viciously.

Liu Ping laughed and said: "I don't care what the world thinks of me, go to hell."

The long knife fell.

The pool of muddy meat was immediately enveloped in endless flames, burning so hard that it made a crackling sound.

It burned into a puddle of black ash.

At this time, the entire Taoist temple reacted, and figures one after another ran towards this direction.

Liu Ping turned around and rushed back to Xu Sheng, leaned down and held Xu Sheng's hand.

Xu Sheng smiled bitterly and said:

"I was supposed to go up the mountain with Brother Liu...but I didn't think about it for a moment...and ended up like this."

He looked at the officer's uniform, his eyes full of regret and reluctance.

"Don't think too much, it's not your fault." Liu Ping said.

Xu Sheng gradually became breathless. Seeing that he was about to die, he suddenly remembered something and stared at Liu Ping with his eyes open, and grabbed his hand tightly.

Liu Ping thought for a while and asked, "What is the name of your sect?"

"Fist...win...men..." Xu Sheng said reluctantly, showing hope.

"I will pass on the Blood Surge Boxing Technique and teach you the martial arts of the Fist Sect." Liu Ping said.

"Thanks--"

Xu Sheng exhaled a breath and stopped moving.

Liu calmed down for a few breaths and stood up silently under the gaze of everyone.

Lines of burning small characters appeared before his eyes:

"The evil cult's left envoy has been killed."

"The power of the law of fire has returned to the 'first burning' stage."

"The power of the laws of earth, water, and wind begins to awaken."
