Infernal Artist

Liu Ping sat on the large and comfortable sofa and lit a cigar again.

In the field.

Li Changxue blocked the nightmare corpse with a long sword.

No matter how it pounced, jumped, or swung its claws, it was always knocked back by the long sword.

Judging from Li Changxue's appearance, it seemed that he hadn't exerted much force yet.

Zhao Chanyi was sitting around doing nothing, even chatting with Luo Xingchen.

The silver-haired old man praised:

"Quite superb swordsmanship. I never knew that Six Paths of Reincarnation had such skills."

Liu Ping didn't answer.

From the moment the "Peering into Heaven" was launched until now, everything was considered normal.

But in another minute—

In a minute, that nightmare monster will look different.

pity.

Now that I am only in the Qi Refining Stage, I can't really take action.

Do we have to rely on Li Changxue all the time?

Liu Ping's eyes flashed, and his thoughts suddenly fell on the stuck book.

The card with the devil's mask on it moved.

"What? What's the matter?"

The gods of hell in the masks spoke out.

"We just used two abilities, one is 'following' and the other is 'barabara male to female'." Liu Ping said.

"Yes, that's right, they are all evil arts and dominate the hell." The gods of hell said.

Liu Ping couldn't help stroking his forehead and asked, "Do you have the ability to fight head-on?"

"Of course! But they are extremely cruel fighting methods. To use them, you need to meet very strict conditions." said the gods of hell.

"What conditions?" Liu Ping asked.

"You need to have a deep understanding of various weapons, spells, and heretical knowledge, otherwise you will not be able to exert their power!" said the gods of hell.

Liu Ping was silent for a moment and said softly: "I don't have a problem with this."

"Very good, we are ready to provide you with various combat capabilities at any time." The gods of hell said.

Liu Ping calmed down for a moment, suddenly realized something, and looked towards the field.

One minute's up!

The strange corpse was slashed and flew out, dragging a long gray line on the ground as it rolled and crawled.

It stopped moving.

Li Changxue said: "I am tired of this battle. I will kill you with the next move."

She shook up and was about to fly, but she heard Liu Ping's voice coming from outside the world:

"stop!"

Li Changxue paused and looked back.

Liu Ping continued: "Don't come forward, Zhao Chanyi, use the concealment formation."

"Ah - OK!" Zhao Chanyi said.

She took out a formation disk and started to set up the formation.

"My formation skills are not as good as yours, I can only go so far." Zhao Chanyi said.

Luo Xingchen thought for a while and said, "Since it is a hidden power, I also have some means."

She reached out and plucked a star into the sky, picking off a star in her hand.

"Mourning Death Star - Hide!"

The stars turned into countless shining debris and enveloped the three people.

Li Changxue, Luo Xingchen and Zhao Chanyi were all experienced professionals. As soon as they heard Liu Ping's reminder, they began to guess.

Since Liu Ping asked them to hide——

This proves that the monster on the opposite side is going to undergo some kind of drastic change.

The three of them held their breath and waited quietly.

About a breath.

The corpse suddenly erupted into a deafening roar.

Countless things floated on the earth and turned into dust amid the roar.

The power emanating from the corpse fluctuates more and more -

It looked around, but couldn't see any targets that could be attacked. Finally, it suddenly turned its head and locked its eyes on the silver-haired old man.

The silver-haired old man said solemnly: "Ah, the little trick had the opposite effect."

Liu Ping said: "It has fallen into madness, hasn't it?"

The silver-haired old man spread his hands and said: "I have to say, you actually know what it is going to do -"

"Of course, don't forget, I have been to the world under the eternal night... I thought you saw this in the previous conversation." Liu Ping said.

His eyes flashed.

In the void, two lines of burning small words appeared:

"You unleashed your strange ability with all your strength: deception."

"Because what you say this time is true, the effect of the deception will be even more powerful."

Collect all the fine print.

The silver-haired old man nodded and said: "There is always a way to obtain such a secret. I thought you just mastered the secret. Who knew you had really been to the lower world."

"Be careful, your cards seem to be backlashing." Liu Ping blew out a smoke ring and said.

The silver-haired old man looked down.

A huge dark door appeared vaguely behind the corpse, as if it would open at any time.

"Ah, bad..."

The silver-haired old man drew seven cards in a row and threw them all into the field.

A series of soft noises.

I saw seven demon kings descending from the sky, covered with hellfire.

They threw out long black iron ropes and tied the corpse tightly, then surrounded it in the center and chanted spells in unison.

The corpse was shaken, and the dark door behind it suddenly turned into a shadow and gradually disappeared.

"seal."

The silver-haired old man said coldly.

The seven demon kings shouted in unison: "With the power of the gods of purgatory, seal it!"

The iron coffin flew over quickly, swallowed the body in like a big mouth, closed the coffin lid, and sealed it.

"How many times have you sealed it like this?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is a secret. If you want to know, you have to pay a certain price." The silver-haired old man said.

"I'm doing it for your own good - if you use the same move too many times, it will definitely remember it, and you will be killed by it when the time comes." Liu Ping said.

At this time, he put aside other calculations and issued a reminder bluntly and honestly.

Because in the face of nightmare, any force is worthy of unity.

——At least the existence of these powers can help the entire Purgatory-Eternal Night Pillar fight against the tide of nightmares.

"Thank you for your kindness. Then, the game will continue." The silver-haired old man said.

He stared at Li Changxue and kept pulling out cards from the card book, shuffling the cards quickly, as if he wanted to find a way to win the bet.

Whoever wins will win all the cards played by the opponent.

Suddenly, his eyes fell on the heavy iron coffin again.

There was a dull knocking sound inside the iron coffin, and the entire coffin lid kept shaking, as if it would be lifted at any time.

"Recite the incantation with all your strength!" the silver-haired old man said with a serious face.

The seven demon kings surrounded the iron coffin and chanted incantations continuously until they were sweating profusely and exhausted.

finally--

The iron coffin returned to silence.

The seven demon kings breathed a sigh of relief and said to the silver-haired old man: "Sir, it's temporarily sealed. If you use it next time, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to seal it."

"I know." The silver-haired old man responded casually, but his eyes fell on the hidden magic circle.

The Sword God of the Six Paths of Reincarnation—

This card is too rare and useful, so you must keep it in your hands!

But the one who possesses this card is a powerful being who is almost equal to himself.

On earth...how can I get this card from him?

"If you end the game without a new card, the winner will be decided." Liu Ping said.

The silver-haired old man fell into deep thought and suddenly smiled:

"I remembered something."

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"Since you and I have both entered the world under eternal night, why don't we go down together and have a look." The silver-haired old man said.

"No problem." Liu Ping said with a relaxed expression.

——I have fire-wielding cards and a Nightmare Embrace, so going down is not a problem at all.

On the other hand, the old god opposite, can he get down?

"Then, the time is set at..." The silver-haired old man took out a few divination cards and quickly calculated, and said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, people are like this when they get old, they have to look forward and backward in everything."

"up to you."

Liu Ping said something and suddenly felt his stuck book vibrating.

Lilith flew out of the card book and landed on Liu Ping's head, transmitting a message: "They found the skeleton of Huoyang. Yana asked me to bring you a message——"

"Fire Fang has traces of the extremely evil forbidden curse test on his body."

Liu Ping's heart skipped a beat.

What on earth is Aldrich doing?

Hell, he knew his identity and was even conducting such experiments, obviously to prepare a back-up plan for himself.

——But he has been eaten by the cruel mistress!

What will happen next in this manor?

Liu Ping felt an inexplicable chill in his heart and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a sip.

"Aha——"

The voice of the silver-haired old man sounded: "Today! If we go down together today, we will definitely gain something good."

Just right!

Liu Ping closed his eyes, thought for a few breaths, and said, "What about this bet?"

"Put it here, it won't fly away - I'll ask my seven Demon King's men to go with you. When you come back, we will complete the bet." The silver-haired old man said.

"Okay!" Liu Ping agreed.

The silver-haired old man barely hesitated. The moment he said "Okay", he took out a card and threw it out.

Bang!

The card turned into a portal of light.

Two lines of burning small characters appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

"Transportation light gate."

"——Direct access to the nightmare world."

Liu Ping patted the card book, and Luo Xingchen, Zhao Chanyi, Li Changxue in the microscopic world, and even the white wolf standing next to him, all turned into cards and flew into the book.

at the same time.

Seven demon kings appeared in the open space of the secret room.

"Together?" Liu Ping asked.

"Please!" said the seven demon kings.

They walked into the light door together.

At the last moment, several rays of light and shadow suddenly flew into the void and disappeared into Liu Ping's stuck book.

The light door then disappeared.

The silver-haired old man was the only one left in the secret room.

He put down his cigar and poured himself another glass of wine, a triumphant smile on his face.

"The contract regarding the outcome of the card game has been established."

"But since you died in the nightmare layer, you can't continue the game."

"I won."

"So--"

"Your cards are all mine."

The silver-haired old man raised his glass and drank it all in one breath.

"Although it took seven capable men, as long as I can get the sword god of the six reincarnation world-"

"You can't go wrong with this deal."

He put down his wine glass, crossed his legs, and smoked a cigar contentedly.

Now.

Just wait for Mr. Dark to die in the nightmare world.

What a fool.

He probably happened to come across a safe zone when he went down, so he felt that he was amazing for being able to survive the nightmare level.

but--

He gathered the manpower, financial and material resources of the entire Hellfire Bank and sent a large number of experts into the underlying world. As a result, all the people were killed and injured, and only the corpse and a coordinate for teleportation were obtained.

I almost couldn't come back!

Why is he so confident?

go to hell!

The silver-haired old man thought silently.

…

Nightmare world.

A bloody skeleton was soaked in the turbid blood, motionless.

Several dozen meters away from it.

All seven demon kings died.

It's amazing.

Using the seven demon kings as bait to lure him into the nightmare layer, it seemed as if he was well prepared and would find a safe area when he came down. However, as soon as he came down, those demon kings were attacked.

This is a dead end.

——It seems to be to win the cards in his hand.

But he might be disappointed.

The bloody skeleton waited for a few breaths until all the sounds of chewing disappeared, then slowly sank into the ground and disappeared.
