Infernal Artist

Liu Ping shuttled among the crowd.

Densely packed spells flew out from the hands of the humans around him, splashing blood from the tentacles dancing in the sky.

This kind of power has almost surpassed all civilized forces in Liu Ping's memory.

——The humans here are the strongest!

A human woman rushed forward and asked urgently:

"I told you to run away, why did you come back?"

Liu Ping took a closer look and saw that it was the woman who had given the torch to him.

"I guess you're in danger," he said.

The woman took his hand and led him all the way to the depths of the island, all the way to the underground cave of the island.

There is an old human here, sitting cross-legged on the ground, with an ancient bronze ax in front of him.

When Liu Ping entered the cave, the old man opened his eyes.

"Originally, I let you leave in order to save you - but I didn't expect that monster was really sharp. It immediately realized that you are our hope, and it followed you."

The old man said in a deep voice.

Thanks to Li Changxue!

Or her sword heart is always bright, she detects the problem immediately, and then leads the monster away.

——Can she deal with that monster?

Liu Ping felt a trace of anxiety in his heart and said:

"What's going on now?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Once that nightmare monster leaves, only its followers will be left here to attack the cave. Naturally, they will not be able to defeat it."

The woman responded: "Taking this opportunity, we are looking for another safe hiding place."

"Yes, the devil you brought is also very powerful. He helped us withstand the attack and gave everyone a breather." The old man said.

Rumble——

There were bursts of thunderous explosions outside, mixed with the roar of the silver-haired old man.

Liu Ping listened for a while and gradually felt relieved.

As the top fighting force in Purgatory, the silver-haired old man would naturally not be defeated so easily.

With him on the outside, humans will be able to deal with it more calmly.

This time things changed so quickly.

Fortunately--

The silver-haired old man has always wanted to plot against himself, and he would come up with some kind of contract to sign.

If he uses other means, he may not be able to catch it.

But signing a contract—

Can this still allow him to run away?

A man wearing broken armor walked in, saluted the old man and the woman and said:

"Two adults, everything is going on in an orderly manner. In five minutes, we will retreat."

"Very good, you go and get ready," the woman said.

The man nodded and walked out of the cave.

The old man took a careful look at Liu Ping and said:

"Boy, although you have obtained the title of saint, all your cultivation is gone."

Liu Ping said naturally: "I crossed the timeline - according to the law of cause and effect, at this point in time, I really have no cultivation."

"I just saw you using the power of ghosts and gods very skillfully," the old man said.

"I have mastered those skills in my past lives, so I can naturally use them with ease," Liu Ping said.

The old man muttered: "You are now fully equipped with all the skills, but your strength has not yet recovered. Then let me help you - give me the mask."

"Ah good."

Liu Ping handed the mask to the other party.

The old man casually grabbed it in the air, took out a pen, and yelled at the evil ghost on the mask:

"What are you looking at? Why don't you get out of the way?"

The evil ghost glared at him, backed away angrily, and disappeared from the mask.

The old man looked solemn and said:

"Since you are already proficient in various arts, now we should help you quickly regain your strength."

He placed his pen on the blank mask and drew complex lines at an astonishing speed.

A strange power radiates from the tip of the pen.

The surroundings immediately became quiet.

Even the roar outside the cave seemed to have disappeared.

The dust and stones that fell from the cave walls due to the vibration fell lightly to the ground, no longer making any sound.

It was as if all living beings and everything held their breath.

They are waiting -

Waiting for some kind of announcement, but also like waiting for some unknown existence that has not appeared for a long time, finally waking up again from the dust of history.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The old man took back his pen.

Liu Ping looked towards the mask and saw that the whole mask was no different from before.

"Boy, if you dare to come down and help, prove that I am not wrong about the person."

"You are already a saint, how can you not have the strength to help you? In the past, when saints saved the world, they had to rely on the long sword in their hands to eliminate demons, let alone this situation!"

The old man handed the mask to Liu Ping.

As soon as Liu Ping took it, lines of small burning characters flashed in the void in front of him:

"The face of hell has been upgraded."

"Because of the support of the fundamental source, the mask has made a huge difference."

"Equipping this mask will give you two effects——"

"First, the gods of hell (omitted);"

"Second, killing is fun."

"Explanation: Whenever you complete a killing, you can obtain soul power from the dead enemy to improve your strength and realm."

Liu Ping finished reading quickly, put away the evil ghost mask, cupped his fists and said:

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

"No need to thank me, we can only keep moving in the underground world of nightmares to avoid those monsters - I hope you can find the Holy Spirit soon and come back again." The old man said.

At this time, several human men walked into the cave and reported: "You can leave."

They sprinkled layers of golden sand on the ground, turning the ground into a surging sand field.

The old man nodded and said to Liu Ping: "We need to go to a new refuge immediately before the monster comes back."

The woman on the side stepped forward, handed two cards to Liu Ping and said:

"It's too late to make new cards. These are the last two 'return cards'. They can travel through all spaces and return you to a random place on the Pillar of Purgatory."

The old man answered: "But there are three of you - I think those two guys seem to be your enemies, so you decide how to use them."

"Okay, you should leave quickly. If the monster comes back, there will be trouble." Liu Ping said.

"See you later."

"See you later!"

The old man and the woman slowly sank into the ground and disappeared from Liu Ping's eyes.

Liu Ping walked out of the cave and saw that all the humans outside had disappeared.

Only the silver-haired old man and the cruel mistress Medea were still flying back and forth in the air, avoiding the monster's attacks while constantly fighting back.

"Why are all the humans missing?"

The silver-haired old man quickly fell to his side and asked in shock and anger.

Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

In fact, the best way is to go back alone and leave these two guys here to die.

but--

Li Changxue still didn't know what was going on.

I need help!

Liu Ping said: "Because they help the humans here fight monsters, they gave us a card that allows us to go back directly."

The silver-haired old man showed joy on his face.

Liu Ping said: "But there is a problem here."

"What's the problem?" the silver-haired old man asked.

"Because my friends are still dealing with a monster - the owner of the tentacle across from you."

"so?"

"So...I have to save them first."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he put his hand on the card book.

call!

Bang bang bang——

In a series of soft sounds, Yana, Maria and Li Changxue appeared in front of him.

The three of them were seen looking miserable, with many shocking wounds on their bodies.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand to wave the holy light to help them heal, but suddenly remembered that he had lost all his power.

"It's okay, I can't die." Yana said.

She waved her hand and spread the holy light, healing the wounds on Maria and Li Changxue.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, calling us back will only put you in danger."

Li Changxue said solemnly, looking into the depths of the dark void.

Liu Ping put on the evil ghost mask and said:

"Thank you for your hard work just now. Now I have hired two helpers. Let's fight that monster together to see how strong it is."

Li Changxue looked aside.

I saw a forced smile on the silver-haired old man's face, nodded and said: "If we fight it together, we have a better chance of winning than if you fight it alone."

In the sky, a figure flew down.

Medea!

She looked at Yana and Maria beside Liu Ping and wondered: "What's going on? My two children, why are you standing next to him?"

"It's over, Medea, we have nothing to do with you anymore." Yana said.

"I will be with my sister, Mistress." Maria also said.

Medea's expression darkened and she glanced at the silver-haired old man.

The silver-haired old man had an expressionless face.

- You'd better start a fight.

Medea didn't get any hint, and her body gradually exuded strong murderous intent.

"I'm afraid it's not good to steal the two gods I worked so hard to cultivate and use them as your cards without saying a word...Mr. Dark." She said with a half-smile.

"Then let me tell you now, starting from today, they will follow me." Liu Ping said.

"Tsk - do you know what happened to the last person who touched my things casually?" Medea asked.

The words have not yet finished.

Clang!

A flash of sword light flashed.

Medea was stunned and looked down, only to see a slender blood mark on her snow-white neck.

So fast.

I can't react at all!

If it had been a few minutes deeper, I would have gone to the eternal night!

——This kind of swordsmanship only seeks speed and fierceness, and is completely unreasonable.

In the face of this kind of swordsmanship, even if he has all kinds of strength, how can he cope with it?

Her expression changed, and she raised her head and looked across.

Li Changxue was seen holding a cold long sword and said in a cold voice: "What kind of person is Brother Daoist Liu? He accepts your women because he thinks highly of you, so he doesn't know how to flatter you."
