Purgatory Artist-Chapter 128: The Boys

The youths started to move, heading towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

Liu Ping was halfway there when a shout came from not too far away:

"Knight? Alone? "

Liu Ping stopped and asked: "What's the matter?"

The youth ran over and said: "I'm an Assassin, why don't we team up and fight together?"

Liu Ping thought, one more person means one more bit of strength. Not to mention, this kid looks smart, when I'm blocking the monsters in front, he can attack from the side — —

"Sure, let's fight together" Liu Ping nodded.

"That stick of yours won't do, come, I'll help you sharpen it into a spear, that way your fighting strength will increase" the youth said.

"Thank you very much." Liu Ping thought about it and tossed the wooden stick over.

The young man took the wooden stick, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his fce.

"I heard that you died while trying to steal a woman, then this time, do you know why you're dying?"

As he said that, he threw the stick behind him.

From the darkness, a few youths walked out.

One of them caught the stick, cut it in half and threw it on the ground.

Liu Ping looked at them, then at the one who broke the stick, suddenly remembered and said:

"So it was you, I took a fish from your table during dinner"

"Yes, I told you to put the fish down, but you didn't listen" the youth said.

He was holding a statue in his hand.

A holy light was emitted from the statue, as if it could heal the people around it at any time.

The youths surrounded him

"Because of a fish, you broke my only weapon?" Liu Ping asked.

The youths went silent.

Liu Ping's brows slowly furrowed as he continued, "Is this how you guys do things, killing people just because of a spat?"

"Without a weapon, just wait for your death" the youth calmly said, then turned and ran towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

The other youths quickly followed.

Only Liu Ping was left standing alone in his original spot.

One minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

Three minutes passed.

"Idiots ... killing you Would lower my evaluation. Forget it, let's be careful, I'll take care of it after we figure out the rules "

He shook his head and walked into the forest.

A few minutes later.

He walked out, wrapped a few dozen sticks with vines, and tied them to his back, then walked towards the village at the foot of the mountain.

...

Flames were burning everywhere in the village.

The old man said that he wanted to kill all the Soulless.

But what was a Soulless?

Liu Ping chose a remote location, climbed over the fence, and stopped in front of a farmer's house.

The door was ajar, and a low growl came from inside.

Liu Ping took out a wooden stick from his back, placed it against the door, and pushed it forcefully —

The door opened with a creak.

The roar suddenly disappeared, and a black shadow darted out of the door and landed in the courtyard.

It was a skinny man.

He crouched on the ground and looked at Liu Ping warily like a wild beast.

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.

[Soulless.]

[The essence in their souls was eaten, leaving only their bodies and endless negative emotions. They would actively attack anything that came close.]

Liu Ping was deep in thought.

It seemed that the enemy of the Empire was some kind of monster ...

Evernight was clearly the resting place of the dead, but it wasn't peaceful at all.

"Hey, you're pretty good now, aren't you? You can tell the origin of these things just by looking at them." Liu Ping teased.

Lines of text replied: [This Sequence has been activated, please do not look at this Sequence with the same eyes as before]

The Soulless let out a wild roar and charged at Liu Ping!

"That's more like it." Liu Ping praised, then raised the wooden stick up high until the other party's claws were blocked by the shield. Only then did he swing it down with all his might!

Crack.

A crisp sound rang out.

At the same time that the wooden stick broke, the Soulless' neck was also broken.

It fell to the ground and struggled, wanting to stand up and attack Liu Ping again, but it couldn't.

Liu Ping took out another wooden stick from his back and swung it down with all his might — — -

The monster finally went silent.

And the second wooden stick also broke.

Liu Ping shook his head and sighed: "What a trash weapon."

He was about to leave, but suddenly recalled something and went back into the farmer's house.

The environment in the room was quite simple. There was only a bed made of hay and some crude farming tools.

— — There wasn't even a pair of scissors.

Liu Ping was a bit disappointed.

He decided to untie the vines and threw the wooden sticks on the ground, leaving only one in his hand.

— — -these wooden sticks could only be considered normal branches, not suitable for battle at all, and carrying too many would only waste his stamina.

After doing that, he left the farmer's house, only to find that there was another person in the courtyard.

It was another young man.

In the entire class, he was the third person to introduce himself. His name was Libertas. It was said that when he was dueling with the youngest son of the Patriarch, he accidentally killed his opponent and was hacked to death by the Patriarch's axe.

"I remember you, you're that Liu Ping who died trying to steal a woman."

Libertas looked at him and said in realization.

"I also remember you, you're called Libertas" Liu Ping replied.

— — -This person wasn't among the group of young men just now.

Libertas glanced at the corpse on the ground and smiled: "How about it, do you want to fight together? After all, two people are more powerful than one. "

"Sure" Liu Ping casually replied.

"Come, give me your wooden stick, I'll make a spear for you, that way, when we fight later, your fighting strength will also increase" Libertas said.

Liu Ping tossed the wooden stick in his hand over.

Libertas didn't say anything else, took out a knife from his waist and quickly sharpened the wooden stick.

"What's your Profession?" Liu Ping asked.

"Trainee Assassin." Libertas answered.

He raised the sharp wooden spear, carefully observed it for a bit, then showed a satisfied expression.

"Actually, I've never seen someone as ferocious as you, to be killed trying to steal a woman — — speaking of which, that woman must have been very beautiful."

Libertas winked at Liu Ping and tossed the wooden spear to him.

Liu Ping caught the spear with a smile on his face.

He recalled Yana's face and said seriously, "Speaking of pretty, she is indeed very pretty."

"Then it's worth it." Libertas said.

"That's right. Should we continue chatting or go out and kill some Soulless?" Liu Ping asked.

"Let's go. We have nothing to do anyway."

Libertas turned the knife into a flowing silver light and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

The two of them passed through a small path and met another Soulless at the end of the alley.

"I'll block and you kill it. Any objections?" Liu Ping said.

"You have a shield defense skill? Great!."Libertas said.

Liu Ping walked forward and was about to raise his shield to block the Soulless when he saw the Soulless's eyes suddenly emit a bloody light.

— Not good.

His figure flashed and passed by the Soulless. He slammed the wooden shield behind him —

Pa!

The Soulless's head exploded and fell straight to the ground.

Libertas' eyes lit up, but he teased, "You didn't give me a chance to show my skills at all."

"No, it doesn't seem right." Liu Ping said.

"What's wrong?" Libertas asked.

"It gave me a sense of danger just now." Liu Ping pondered.

"With our current pitiful strength, it's normal for them to give us a sense of danger." Libertas shrugged.

"... No. Let's wait and see." Liu Ping said.

The two of them walked out of the alley and onto the road, one in front of the other.

Soulless were wandering aimlessly on the road in twos and threes.

"I'll block you and you kill." Liu Ping said.

"No problem."

Libertas walked to the nearest Soulless.

The Soulless sensed someone approaching and immediately roared and pounced.

Clang!

The wooden shield made a muffled sound of blocking.

Liu Ping blocked the Soulless's attack for Libertas. Libertas held the dagger tightly and stabbed at It's neck.

Puff —

Its head was cut off and blood spurted out from the neck.

"That was too heavy." Liu Ping said.

"To avoid being contaminated with their blood. After all, we don't know if their blood is poisonous," Libertas explained.

He suddenly said regretfully, "If I could get a short sword, it wouldn't be so troublesome."

"Maybe after a level-up," Liu Ping said.

The two of them walked along the road and soon cleared the area from the Soulless.

"This is the entrance exam? It's too simple. "

Libertas said with some disappointment.

"I don't think it's that simple," Liu Ping said.

"How so?"

"Intuition."

"Your intuition has always been accurate?"

"Yes."

"Then how did you get killed while trying to steal a woman?"

"It was an accident."

As Liu Ping spoke, he suddenly realized that there was a metallic glow in a blacksmith shop by the roadside.

"Wait for me here."

He turned around and walked into the blacksmith shop, only to see that the place had clearly been emptied. The ground was covered with large patches of blood.

A short sword lay on a chair by the felt.

Liu Ping took his short sword, retreated, and walked towards Libertas.

"Look, harvest," he said.

"Not bad. Although the quality of this short sword is average, it's still better than the wooden spear in your hand." Libertas revealed an envious expression.

Liu Ping threw the short sword to him.

"You don't need it? I remember that knights can use all cold weapons, "Libertas asked.

"I've always specialized in defense. This sword can be used more effectively in the hands of an assassin," Liu Ping said.

Looking at him, Libertas suddenly smiled and said, "Alright."

The two of them suddenly felt something and turned their heads to look at the corner of the street.

They saw a Soulless whose body had expanded several times lying on the wall. Its eyes were blood-red as it stared at the two of them.

"This guy looks different from the other Soulless," Libertas said, puzzled.

"Be careful," Liu Ping said.

In the void in front of him, lines of small burning words quickly appeared:

[A Soulless after eating.]

[Mutated.]

[Note: It has eaten enough human flesh and blood to become even more powerful]

Libertas held the short sword in one hand and the dagger in the other. He asked, "Should we run or fight?"

As soon as he said that — — -

The Soulless leapt forward and crossed the long street, landing in front of the two of them with a loud 'thump'.

The Soulless first looked at the crude wooden shield in Liu Ping's hand with a mocking expression, then looked at Libertas.

Libertas was different, not only did he have a knife, he also had a short sword!

The Soulless stared at Libertas and let out a low growl.

"It seems to still be conscious — — seems like we can only fight." Liu Ping said.

"Then?" Libertas asked.

"Let's go!" Liu Ping said.

The two of them ran side by side, quickly approaching the Soulless.

Liu Ping originally held the shield in front of him, but the Soulless didn't even look at him and only stared at Libertas — — -

He simply drew the wooden spear from his back, casually swung it a few times to avoid the Soulless's hurriedly raised hand and pierced its body.

Ka-cha!

The wooden spear was too weak and broke again.

"You still dare to judge people by their clothes?" Liu Ping asked.

The Soulless swung its hand and hit the wooden shield.

Liu Ping was instantly sent flying.

Poof — — -

A muffled sound was heard.

The short sword pierced through the Soulless' head from the back of its neck and came out from its mouth.

The Soulless instantly fell to the ground.

Libertas put his sword away and asked from afar: "How are you?"

"I'm fine, this shield is just a bit damaged." Liu Ping said.

He looked at the wooden shield in his hand and saw a few more cracks on it.

If that kind of attack were to come a few more times, this shield would be gone.

Libertas walked back and said: "We've been fighting for abit, why don't we rest for a few minutes?"

"Alright." Liu Ping said.

The two of them sat down by the street.

A few moments later, a few people appeared on the opposite street.

Liu Ping glanced at them and slowly stood up.

"What's the matter?" Libertas didn't understand.

The youths on the opposite side immediately recognized Liu Ping, one of them was surprised: "He's still alive?"

They stopped, whispered to each other for a while, then walked towards Liu Ping.

The leader of the group said:

"Hey, Libertas, you go first."

"Ah? Why? "Libertas asked.

"We have some personal grudges with him." the leader said.

"You? There are so many of you, and you have a personal grudge with him? "Libertas laughed.

Seeing his attitude, the youth casually took out a statue from his chest.

A holy light was emitted from the statue, as if it could heal the people around it at any time.

"Our family has healing profession inheritance of ."

"Even though I've fallen into Evernight, I'll still become a powerful healer, if you're willing to leave now, I'll definitely repay you in the future" the youth said.
