Infernal Artist

Such a posture is simply terrifying!

Liu Ping clenched the broken blade and slashed hard, cutting off the hands that were pinching him.

Fortunately, I have a knife in hand!

Just as he was thinking about it, the next moment, another hand stretched out and strangled him.

"Catch me?"

Liu Ping danced the broken blade so tightly that he immediately cut off all attacking arms.

But more hands swarmed in, squeezing into a ball, surrounding Liu Ping, without interruption at all times.

But in the vast sea-like tide of arms, the light of the sword flew up and down, cutting out endless rain of blood. The severed arms were thrown out together with the blood, quickly submerged into the ground, and then resurrected, reappeared, and grabbed Liu Ping. past!

"Don't even think about it!"

Suddenly, a cold sword light flashed from the distance.

All the hands holding Liu Ping were blown away.

Two figures fell.

——Those two monks!

"Take him to escape, and I'll stand in his way."

The golden elixir monk held his long sword and said.

The Qi Refining monk rushed up, pulled Liu Ping and ran away from the cemetery.

"Wait, why are you running away?"

Liu Ping asked.

He hesitated for a moment just now, and finally put away his defensive posture.

There is a Jindan sword cultivator among these two people, and he is already exhausted. If you want to kill him, there is no need to beat around the bush.

In the beginning, they were the ones who took out the Resurrection Powder to help him.

The Qi Refining monk took him all the way and said without looking back:

"There's no end to the killing. More powerful guys will come out soon - you're not the only one who has to escape. After you leave safely, we also have to move faster."

Liu Ping felt something in his heart and couldn't help but look back.

A penetrating scream came from deep in the earth:

"It's useless, he can't escape!"

The world shook.

Infinite black mist emerged from the ground, wrapped around Liu Ping's body, and slowly disappeared after a few breaths.

Lines of burning small characters quickly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

"You're locked in!"

"Warning, you are locked!"

"Within three hours, you will continue to emit strange fluctuations, allowing trackers to detect your movements in time!"

The golden elixir sword cultivator shouted sharply: "Evil obstacle——"

Wind-like fluctuations radiated from his body, knocking away all the rainwater in the cemetery.

But he saw a dazzling sword light penetrate the cold wind and rain, flash away in the darkness, and pierce the ground in an instant.

There was a roar from the ground that shook the world:

"A fish that slipped through the net...don't even think about running away..."

The earth squirmed, as if something extremely huge was breaking out of the ground.

At this moment, Liu Ping suddenly felt that he had something extra in his hand.

It was the practitioner in the Qi refining stage who pushed him over.

Liu Ping lowered his head and saw that it was a black talisman.

In his life, he has seen countless types of talismans, and he can be regarded as the person who knows the most about talismans in the entire world of cultivation.

——Not even Master can compare with him.

But he didn't recognize this black talisman.

"They will hunt down your soul and body until they completely enslave you!"

The Qi Refining monk said hurriedly: "Remember, you have never been to the tomb."

The monk pointed at the talisman, and in an instant, a blue aura of light appeared on the talisman, completely covering Liu Ping.

"Wait, what is this for?" Liu Ping asked quickly.

"The person who senses this talisman will come to help you and take you out of the world of death - go!"

The monk pushed Liu Ping hard.

Buzz!

The talisman was completely inspired.

Liu Ping staggered, as if being pulled by something, and his whole body turned into a swift afterimage, and suddenly rushed straight into the void.

The roars of monsters, the wails of the dead, the angry scoldings of monks——

All the sounds were left behind and disappeared in a very short time, as if they had stopped suddenly.

Everything is blurry as a line.

The only sound left in Liu Ping's ears was the whistling wind, and his whole body was dragged in one direction by the extremely strong force, unable to move at all.

It seems like a long time has passed, and it seems like only a moment has passed——

Liu Ping suddenly hit the darkness.

dark.

dark.

dark.

Endless silence and darkness.

There was no sound except for his own breathing.

Everything seemed to be just a nightmare.

Liu Ping took a breath for a moment, felt something in his heart, stretched out his hand and pushed upward——

The darkness weighing on him was pushed away.

A faint and dark light fell far away on his face.

He stood up, looked down, and realized that he was standing in a coffin.

"here it is--"

Taking advantage of the dim light, he looked around.

This is an extremely wide underground cave. Coffins are buried in the soil or embedded on the rock wall. They are densely arranged and extend far ahead. Finally, they are obscured by the fog and cannot see the end.

coffin. Cave. underground.

The faint wind swirled around endlessly, making long and short whimpering sounds, which made people feel terrified.

Liu Ping looked around carefully.

-No one showed up.

The air is filled with the smell of decay, as if the whole world has been dead for a long time.

Liu Ping tried to stay calm and turned his gaze to the void.

I saw lines of small words emerging in the void:

"You have obtained a token that hides time and space: the Talisman of the Soul."

"This object has been inspected and its properties are determined to be similar to a space-time anchor."

"When you are in a special environment, you can use this object to immediately enter a corresponding hidden time and space."

"Other functions: None."

——Token?

When had I ever gotten anything like this?

Liu Ping thought doubtfully.

But he saw an arrow emerging from the void, pointing straight at his hand.

In his hand, the black talisman emitted flickering light from time to time, as if he was trying to sense something.

I see.

Liu Ping sighed tiredly, put the black talisman into his arms, and lay back in the coffin.

In any case, he was exhausted to the extreme and needed to rest for a while.

…

After a while.

"anyone there?"

"Is there anyone alive?"

"——Death is fine, is anyone there?"

Liu Ping's voice echoed in the empty underground for a long time, but there was no response.

He lowered his arms slumpedly and kicked away the coffin beside him.

The coffin is empty.

Looking from the direction he came from, many coffins were opened by him along the way, but there was not a single body in sight.

All coffins are empty.

He has regained consciousness.

Could it be that the dead people here have regained consciousness just like me?

So……

Where is the master?

Liu Ping walked to a coffin, put his hand in, and touched the scratches along the inner wall of the coffin.

"...the traces of the fingers are a little twisted..."

he murmured softly.

A picture quietly emerged in his mind:

The dead person woke up suddenly and for some reason scratched the coffin with his fingers.

But these scratches were too messy, and they were probably not meant to leave any marks or information.

Liu Ping carefully studied the scratches, silently imagining the other party's movements, and two words gradually came to his mind.

Fear, and…

pain.

Liu Ping stood up and walked to the other coffin.

There weren't many scratches on the coffin, but there was a pool of dried black blood.

He took a look and walked to the third coffin.

There was a deep handprint left on the edge of the coffin.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and gently touched the fingerprint——

"It's a bit like holding on to the coffin for dear life and not wanting to leave..."

He sighed, took out a Bigu Pill from his storage bag, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Unbelievable.

This is actually a world of death.

As a living person who had just regained consciousness, the whole thing had exceeded his original imagination and was impossible to guess.

"Now I need help."

he said.

There was only the sound of whimpering wind all around.

no one. Nothing paid any attention to him.

In the void, two lines of small characters flashed:

"You're locked!"

"Time remaining: two hours and fifty-three minutes."

Liu Ping looked at the two lines of small words, and a sense of crisis arose in his heart.

The sword cultivator was still buying time for himself.

We have to think of a solution quickly now!

But I am just a Qi-refining monk, and I am in a completely unknown world of death. How can I escape the monster's hunt so easily?

Liu Ping muttered for a few breaths and said to the void:

"Hey, I almost got killed just now!"

"Originally, I could teleport to the Xihuang Camp, but in order to help you touch the dead man, I was targeted by the monster and could be killed at any time - where is the help you promised?"

For a while.

Lines of small characters slowly emerged in the void:

"You touched Wangcheng (the monster)."

"This sequence has obtained information about the corpse."

"The analysis has been completed."

"Find the monster type from the void database and conduct a matching check."

"Result: No matching category."

"You have discovered a previously unknown monster."

"——This sequence draws preliminary conclusions:"

"This monster is unique to the world of death and is quite interesting."

"You need to search further for information to find out the truth behind all this."

"Given that you have already conducted an adventure battle and helped this sequence discover an unknown species——"

"This sequence will give you some help without exposing yourself."

"Congratulations."

"You have gained the following extraordinary abilities:"

"Mysterious side magic: 'A person without a role'."

All the small characters flickered for a moment and then gradually disappeared.

Liu Ping couldn't help but said: "Hey, this is what you call help? My knife is broken, why don't you give me a weapon? What's the use of 'a person without a role'?"

Soon, a new line of small characters appeared in front of his eyes:

"Don't underestimate this ability. In the endless world, the more inexplicable something is, the more powerful it is and makes people frightened."

Liu Ping immediately became interested and asked quickly: "Is it really so strong? What is the use of this ability?"

I saw lines of small characters appearing again:

"Mysterious side magic: a person without a role."

"Performance ability."

"It can be activated once every twelve hours and lasts for a quarter of an hour."

"When you activate it, you will enter the deepest state of hiding your strength and biding your time. Many laws of the world will avoid you, and you will not attract any undue attention from any existence."

"Speak simply." Liu Ping frowned.

The small words appeared quickly and said the conclusion:

"To put it simply -"

"Every living creature that sees you will treat you as worthless trash."

Liu Ping fell into silence.

Rubbish……

He looked at the few lines of words in the void and said with difficulty: "Is this really the kind of ability that is so powerful that it makes people frightened?"

A line of small print responded:

"Being treated like trash is actually a very powerful thing, come on!"

These small words flashed and completely disappeared from Liu Ping's eyes, leaving only the two lines of small words that had always existed before:

"You're locked in."

"Time remaining: two hours and forty-eight minutes."
