Infernal Artist

boom--

A gray line continued to travel along the wall, causing gusts of wind.

Its speed exceeded imagination, it was like a continuously refracted light, rushing back and forth in the room.

"It's too fast, I can't catch this female ghost!"

The long-haired man shouted in panic.

"Damn it!" Bearded No. 01 held the dagger in both hands and disappeared from the place in an instant.

The long-haired man's heart trembled.

No. 03 died, and No. 01 went into hiding.

He is a mage who can attack from a distance, but now there is no one guarding him——

"come over!"

A voice sounded.

It’s No. 05!

——He is a swordsman!

Without saying a word, the long-haired man waved his staff, releasing one defense spell after another and covering his body with shields, and at the same time ran towards Liu Ping with all his strength. . .

Liu Ping held a Baina knife, his expression was calm, and he even closed his eyes on the spot.

In fact, speaking carefully, none of the selected professionals has reached the weird level.

Humans at all levels of weirdness receive training in Nightmare Manor.

It seems like this——

Is the current world actually the private residence of a nightmare lord?

The people it selects will not be told to anyone else of the same kind, and are only for its own use?

Liu Ping opened his eyes.

He raised the long knife in his hand and stabbed in one direction slowly and firmly.

A dull sound.

The female corpse opened her eyes wide and looked at the long knife that penetrated her chest in disbelief.

"how do you know……"

It said unwillingly.

Liu Ping said: "I'm sorry, your technique is too rough and has no beauty, so I don't have the patience to continue to appreciate it."

A wave of the long knife.

The corpse was slashed away, broken into two pieces in the air, and fell to the ground motionless.

Liu Ping put away his sword and stood up, his eyes deep.

Since you want to select people, then I will show off my performance and try to help you by your side, and then——

Kill you.

"Wow, how did you do that!" The long-haired man couldn't help but exclaimed.

"It's too slow - by the way, why don't you set the fire? The thing in the corpse will attack again soon," Liu Ping said.

The long-haired man hurriedly waved his staff and threw out a stream of flames.

The corpse burned and was completely reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds.

——A faint scream sounded from the flames.

God's voice suddenly sounded:

"Be careful, the Lord of Nightmares is starting to pay attention to everything that happens here."

"I remember you said that they respect unpredictable existence." Liu Ping said.

"Yes, but you must be truly unpredictable and not make a fool of yourself." God said.

"Do you think I like to be mysterious?" Liu Ping asked.

"Of course not. I just hope you will deceive less people in the future." God said.

At this time, lines of burning small characters quietly appeared:

"The monster you killed was too weak."

"This battle failed to activate the ability of 'Killing for Fun'."

"Please keep up the good work!"

Liu Ping was silent for a moment, then raised his head and looked at the big hole in the roof.

——The rope that strangled No. 02 was still hanging in mid-air, constantly fluttering with the heat wave from the flames, showing a dazzling red color soaked in blood.

"No. 04." Liu Ping said.

"What? What's the problem?" The long-haired man looked around carefully.

"It's safe for now." Liu Ping said.

"Yeah, we have to be more careful next time." The long-haired man breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I have a problem."

"What?"

"Why are we here waiting to be beaten?"

"you mean……"

Liu Ping didn't answer, he just walked to the big hole, stretched out his hand to hold the blood rope, jumped up to the attic with a slight jump.

"You stay in the room while I go out to play." After Liu Ping finished speaking, he tied one end of the rope to his left hand and walked towards the other window.

"You want to go out?" the long-haired man said in an unbelievable tone.

"That guy just now was only a little bit faster and could possess people. In fact, he wasn't that strong." Liu Ping said.

The bearded man No. 01 also appeared and said in a deep voice: "But there is an unknown and terrifying void outside. I don't know what will appear. You are seeking death when you go out!"

Liu Ping looked back at the two of them and said, "We really don't know what they are, but they also don't know our strength."

He kicked open the window and jumped out.

"Madman." The bearded man cursed.

"Damn it! Dozens of comrades died during the day, but at night we encountered a lunatic who was desperate for his life. Are there anyone strong enough and normal enough to enter here?" the long-haired man said frantically.

outside the house.

The void is filled with howling winds.

Liu Ping was flying in the air, like a piece of tempting flesh.

Soon, a giant black fish about thirty meters long came quietly and swam around the house.

It was completely black except for its eyes, which were always looking at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping held the blood rope with one hand and hugged the Baina knife with the other hand. He let the strong wind blow around him but did not make any move at all.

The giant black fish swam over, closed its mouth, and touched Liu Ping lightly.

Liu Ping was moved back and forth, but still didn't move at all.

The giant black fish then opened its mouth, revealing two rows of long fangs, as well as countless bones stuck in the gaps between the teeth.

It opens its mouth——

Liu Ping finally moved.

With a "clang" sound, the Baina sword jumped out of its sheath, and was held by Liu Ping with one hand and slashed forward with all his strength!

This is a cut that is simple to the extreme.

It doesn't have any extra skills, it just bursts out all the power in Liu Ping's body at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate way in an instant.

This knife doesn't even have a blade gleam.

It simply slashed towards the black fish's huge mouth.

Tear——pull——

The giant black fish seemed to feel the coming of death. It turned its direction with a flick of its tail and hurriedly wandered towards the depths of the dark void.

It swam thousands of meters away, and a line of blood suddenly appeared from the fish's mouth. The whole fish was cut into two neat pieces, and they swam in different directions.

——Until now, it doesn’t know that it has been cut in half, nor does it know that it is dead.

This knife is so fast that it has surpassed all skills and is close to the limit of knife skills!

Lines of small burning characters quickly appeared in the void:

"Although it is not a 'creation', your sword has reached the upper limit of the profession of 'swordsman'."

"You've been given a special designation."

"For details, please look at the part where the small silver characters appear. It is the sequence of the Lord of Nightmares."

The next moment.

Lines of small silver characters appeared in front of Liu Ping’s eyes:

"Congratulations, your sword skills exceed the upper limit of ordinary professionals and are almost unmatched by anyone."

"No one has ever jumped out of the hut to hunt void monsters."

"Based on the above two points, you have won the title of 'One among ten thousand'."

"Those with this title will directly enter the level assessment stage."

"We will start teleporting you back to the village in five seconds."

Collect all the fine print.

Liu Ping looked back and saw No. 01 and No. 04 standing in front of the window of the cabin, looking at him in disbelief.

"goodbye."

Liu Ping waved at the two of them and disappeared.

"Did you see that? He passed the test just after he came here tonight! I really can't believe my eyes." No. 04 sighed.

"Don't envy him. Just think about who could catch the knife he just struck." No. 01 was shaking all over and tried his best to speak in a calm tone.

On the 4th, I thought about it again, and I felt that among all the people I knew, no one could catch this knife.

No. 01 sighed and continued: "Before I was selected as a frontline soldier, I thought my talents were more than that - now it seems that maybe I thought too highly of myself."

He tapped into the void and said, "Please send me to the front line. I am willing to serve as a soldier for the master of nightmares."

Swish——

With a soft sound, he also disappeared.

At this time, No. 04 finally reacted.

"Wait! Why are you all leaving!"

"Who will fight with me!"

"I'm just a mage!"

he cried in a cry.

The darkness around him became thicker and thicker, and he was indeed the only one left in the hut.

…

Liu Ping fell into the snow.

He found himself standing where the house had been.

——The house is not back yet.

At the end of the path not far from here, a bungalow was lit up.

"That's it."

Liu Ping stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

A cold voice sounded from the door:

"There is a fee to enter. Boy, you have to take out all your money to be eligible for grade assessment."

Liu Ping stood at the door and glanced into the void.

A line of small silver letters stayed there:

"You have obtained the qualification for level assessment, just wait at the designated location."

At the same time, God's voice sounded quietly: "A few people who passed first gathered here, preparing to give the latecomers a hard blow."

The voice of Mother Earth followed closely: "There are ten people in total, seven men and three women. If you don't give me money, they will make things difficult for you."

Liu Ping took a deep breath and swung his long knife forward——

Sweeping thousands of armies with one extremely simple move!

But the invisible sword light flew out from the long sword in circles, razing the entire bungalow and even the large mountains behind it to the ground.

A deafening roar echoed between heaven and earth.

The sword light seemed to be endless, slashing towards the end of the world.

Several figures descended quietly, surrounding Liu Ping one after another, pointing at him with the weapons in their hands.

"Boy, do you really want to die?"

The leader shouted through gritted teeth.

Liu Ping looked around and suddenly burst into laughter: "Charge? That's not what I was told."

"It seems that you did get specific reminders in advance... But there are ten of us here. Whether it is now or in the future, we will definitely make you suffer." The leader of the profession said.

After hearing this, Liu Ping thought for a moment and put the long knife into its sheath.

"Give up resistance?" someone laughed.

"That's not true."

Liu Ping moved his fists and kicks at will, and said with a smile: "You are not worthy of my sword, come on, I can show you with my fists and kicks that sometimes it is not the numbers that make you stronger -"

He squared off on the spot and finally said:

“No one has ever been able to blackmail me but God.”

The wind and snow are getting thicker.

Those people looked at him quietly, looking at each other for a moment, unsure whether they should take action.

Suddenly, a line of small silver characters appeared in front of each of them:

"You are fighting the most powerful swordsman with the title of 'One in a Thousand'."

"Please make sure you want to die so that after this battle, the sequence can recycle your soul for nourishment."

"Are you sure?"
