Infernal Artist

The quicksand keeps turning.

The sand surface is uneven, and lines of small characters appear:

"God convinced the Dream Keeper."

"Now, place your hands on the desert to communicate with your Four Holy Pillars."

"We are the main pillars of your world, so we can condense the power of the Four Saints into your sequence so that you can exert the original power of the world's life forms in the real world."

"This process takes about a few minutes."

"Let Andrea protect you."

Liu Ping quickly read all the fine print and couldn't help but ask;

"When can I rescue you from your dream?"

On the sand, two more lines of small words appeared:

"We belong to another situation. We entered Purgatory and the Pillar of Eternal Night to fight or avoid evil spirits, so we were not imprisoned."

"You will have to reach the end of eternal night or enter purgatory before you can find us."

Liu Ping and Andrea watched it together.

Not far across from them, the monster revealed its complete form.

It was shaped like a dragon or a horse, with a single horn on its head, and its four claws dug deeply into the sea of ​​sand, as sharp as a knife; its whole body showed changing blue-green light, as if thunder and lightning would occur at any time.

Unfortunately, this is a world where everything is forbidden.

"A world where we can only fight hand-to-hand? It's ridiculous. Do you think you can defeat me?"

The monster hummed and slowly pointed the sharp horn of its head at Liu Ping and Andrea.

Andrea said:

"I'll deal with that monster and buy you time."

"Be careful. If it doesn't work, go back." Liu Ping said.

"rest assured."

Andrea smiled and suddenly disappeared from the place.

A giant dragon flew over the sand sea at low altitude and crashed into the monster desperately.

Boom.

In the dull and deadly sound, the monster was beaten so hard that it let out a scream and flew backwards.

The giant dragon stopped where he was, yawned lazily, turned back into Andrea, and floated in mid-air and said:

"In terms of hand-to-hand combat, even if you are qualified to be a prisoner, you are still no match for our dragon clan."

She turned to look at Liu Ping.

I saw Liu Ping squatting down and pressing his hand on the desert.

All of a sudden.

The surrounding desert seemed to come alive. With him as the center point, it was constantly undulating, as if it was condensing some kind of power.

Lines of burning small characters appeared:

"I have received permission from the guardian of the dream."

"Your Four Holy Pillars are communicating with you from the dream."

"This sequence is receiving the power of your holy pillar."

"Notice!"

"Keep your hands in contact with the earth and don't move for five minutes."

After reading these prompts, Liu Ping raised his head and met Andrea's eyes, and said via voice:

"Hold it for five minutes."

Andrea nodded and looked at the monster again.

Thousands of meters away.

In the sea of ​​​​sand, the one-horned monster slowly stood up from the sand pit and walked forward step by step, his momentum getting stronger and stronger.

"I can feel that you are very weak...the collision just now must have used up all your strength."

It shook off the sand on its body and turned its gaze, passing over Andrea and landing on Liu Ping.

After thinking for a moment, the monster understood.

"So that's it, you really are the beings from the dream, and now you are reabsorbing the power from the dream——"

"It's ridiculous, I actually helped you."

Andrea snorted and said disdainfully: "You guy, you talk a lot of nonsense."

As soon as she said this, the monster became more interested in continuing:

"But that's okay."

"You probably don't know that as a being who is qualified to be imprisoned in the eternal night, I actually kill people with lightning spells because I like to be lazy."

"What I'm really strong at is--"

Liu Ping raised his eyebrows slightly and subconsciously reached out to draw the knife, but then he remembered that his two swords did not enter the real world together.

There was a muffled sound in the distance.

That was the sound made by the monster's four claws kicking the ground with all their might as they attacked with all their might.

A moment.

It rushed to Liu Ping and opened its mouth full of ferocious fangs——

"roll!"

A shout sounded.

With a flash of void, Andrea arrived in time and kicked the monster away hard.

"Innocent guy."

The monster grinned ferociously and ran at an extremely fast speed.

Its speed became faster and faster, with Liu Ping as the center point, running like lightning, and in the end it even turned into a coherent afterimage.

This speed was beyond Andrea's expectations.

She had no idea which direction the opponent would attack from, let alone blocked Liu Ping in time.

Liu Ping's eyes flashed and he suddenly said: "That's all, let's fight it first."

"No, I haven't given up yet!"

Andrea gritted her teeth.

Her body shook, and she transformed into a dragon again, spreading her wings to protect Liu Ping.

With the help of the huge size of the dragon——

This time, no matter whether the opponent attacks from any direction, she can protect Liu Ping!

When the monster saw this, he couldn't help laughing:

"Hahaha, since you want to block him, I'll kill you first!"

A huge figure as fast as lightning crashed into the giant dragon and quickly moved away.

The giant dragon couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood, but it held firm and continued to block Liu Ping.

The monster's voice came from far away, with a hint of pride:

"Poor dragon, you will die from my tricks."

"By the way, I also saw those words that appeared on the desert - there are still three minutes and eleven seconds before he can get the power accumulated in the dream, right?"

There was anxiety in the dragon's eyes.

It takes five minutes in total.

Calculated according to time, it does take more than three minutes.

——The other party has already seen everything clearly!

The monster discerned Andrea's expression, and his voice became more aggressive:

"Innocent dragon, you don't know that this kind of place actually limits your power, and I-"

"Slain many dragons!"

As the words fell, strong murderous intent emanated from the monster.

It ran faster.

Andrea couldn't catch any trace of it, so she could only use her dragon wings to cover Liu Ping's head with all her strength to protect him.

At this moment.

Liu Ping's expression was a little strange.

Logically speaking.

Whether it's Pao Ye, Gaia, the female Death Dream, or even the fairy princess Rita, they are all shrewd people.

And that God.

Oh, God.

This guy knows everything!

Could it be that a power transmission method they designed together could be manipulated by the enemy in this way?

If that were the case, God would also find a way to remind Himself.

But the current situation is——

God sent no reminder!

That means……

Liu Ping looked into the void and saw lines of small burning characters appearing there:

"The connection between this sequence and the Four Holy Pillars takes a total of two minutes."

"The connection has been completed."

"The Four Holy Pillars begin to rotate."

"You will immediately gain an ability among earth, water, fire, and wind for use in battle."

Collect all the fine print.

Liu Ping read it quickly and nodded slightly.

——This is right.

What five minutes, that's a lie, it obviously only takes two minutes.

Sure enough, they are a bunch of cunning and deceitful guys.

There was a flash of void.

Huge wind pressure blows head on.

The prisoner's murderous voice then sounded:

"The time is up, go to hell, you are the thirty-ninth dragon I have killed!"

It suddenly appeared behind Andrea.

Just when it was about to attack, a person also appeared behind it.

Liu Ping!

The monster sees the opportunity very quickly and immediately ducks to avoid it.

However, its feet were stuck in the desert and it was impossible to pull them out.

"The Earth Binding Technique is very simple. Many people know similar techniques."

Liu Ping pointed his fingers like a knife.

Wisps of sword energy emanated from his fingers.

The monster struggled desperately, but could not break free from the earth no matter what.

Liu Ping raised his fingers.

——It was like raising the long knife in his hand.

Just listen to him continue: "The difference is that my Earth Binding Technique has reached the level of the World Technique, so it is not easy to break free."

The long knife was about to fall.

A roaring sound came from the sky.

A huge dragon claw hit the monster so hard that the monster vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Andrea——

In other words, the giant dragon was already billowing smoke.

Although this is a forbidden world, dragons are born with the ability to emit flames through their emotions. This is the physical power of this creature.

call--

The flames gradually filled the dragon's body, which showed how angry she was.

Liu Ping raised his head and glanced, simply put away his knife, and slowly retreated.

—Leave it to the furious Andrea.

I saw the giant dragon overlooking the immobile monster below, extending a dragon claw in front of the monster, and asked calmly:

"I heard that you have killed more than thirty dragons. You are indeed a prisoner, but I want to ask-"

"Have you ever been hit by the Flame Dragon Claw when you couldn't move? Huh?"

The monster looked at the dragon scales flowing with lava and the sharp dragon claws composed of all the dragon scales. It trembled and suddenly showed a flattering smile:

"This—noble Dragon Clan, I was joking just now."

"You're joking." The dragon said.

The monster quickly said: "Yes, I'm joking, I've always been very——"

The ferocious, sharp dragon claws, burning with flames and swaying with lava, penetrated the void and slammed into the monster with all its strength.

This is not over yet.

As soon as the dragon hit it, its emotions seemed to be ignited. It waved its claws and kept hitting the sand.

The more she beat, the more excited she got, until the floor was filled with flowing lava, the desert was melted, and the monster went from screaming to moaning to being completely silent.

finally.

Andrea has finished venting her anger.

She transformed into a little girl in a red dress again, came to Liu Ping with her tongue out, held his arm and said:

"If you don't stop, you'll be beaten to death."

"This was the first prisoner we harvested, but I beat him to death..."

"You don't blame me."

Liu Ping was silent for a breath.

It wasn't until Andrea started to panic that he slowly walked to the monster's body.

"Liu Ping..."

Andrea called softly, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

Liu Ping lowered his head, stepped on the monster's head that was burned by the flames and said:

"Not enough, Andrea."

Andrea was stunned and whispered: "What's not enough?"

Liu Ping dragged the head up, raised it into the air and said, "It wanted to kill you just now."

"So?" Andrea asked.

Liu Ping nodded slightly towards the void.

The great desert world disappeared in an instant, disappearing from around the two of them.

The dark sky emerged again.

All around is a vast expanse of land shrouded in desolation and smoke.

Eternal night!

——They returned to the eternal night together with the monster's corpse.

Liu Ping raised the monster's head and said, "It wanted to kill you just now - should we let it go like this?"

He raised his other hand and made a very skillful gesture.

Nine secluded souls!

A faint shadow emerged from the monster's head and lingered in Liu Ping's hand.

Liu Ping played with this soul and whispered: "It is trying to use me to blackmail you and wants you to be killed in despair."

"Death is not enough for this kind of villain. I want its soul to suffer to compensate for the despair you have tasted, until one day you are no longer afraid of what you just did."

He held the monster's soul.

The soul roared unwillingly, but in the pain inflicted by the soul technique, the roar was quickly replaced by a cry for mercy.

Liu Ping pinched the soul and handed it to Andrea.

"It begs for mercy, so torture it."

"Why doesn't it beg for mercy?"

"Still torture it."

Andrea looked at him blankly, looking at the soul he handed over.

A moment.

The corners of her mouth pursed slightly.

I saw her striding towards Liu Ping, letting out a little girl's unique scream:

"Liu Ping, you are more handsome than in your dreams!"

The words have not yet finished.

She had already pounced on Liu Ping.
