Purgatory Artist-Chapter 231: Walking Together

"Stop! Listen to me. "

Hua Qingkong wanted to say something but was interrupted by Liu Ping.

Liu Ping sighed and said, "Although we have received you, the current situation is not optimistic."

Hua Qingkong listened attentively.

Liu Ping patted Norton's shoulder and continued, "We have to split up now."

"Why?" Norton asked.

"Because I have a very important mission here. Only Hua Qingkong can complete this mission with me."

Liu Ping looked not far away.

Two insects flew forward and blocked the pursuit of the swarm for Libertas.

Libertas leaped and landed in front of the three of them.

He glanced at Liu Ping, then at Hua Qingkong, and asked in confusion,

"You're not coming with us?"

"Yes." Liu Ping continued, "This is very important. You should leave first. Once we complete the mission, we will find you."

Norton and Libertas looked at each other and then at Hua Qingkong.

Hua Qingkong did not speak. She lowered her head and continued to listen silently.

The two of them thought of the same thing at the same time.

Could it be ...

This man and woman?

"It sounds a little strange, but this is Evernight. You have to remember that there are too many secrets here. And I also have somethings that I can't say." Liu Ping said.

"Okay, take this." Norton handed a card to Liu Ping.

"What is this?" Liu Ping asked.

"My communication card. Through it, you will find where we are."

"Okay, you guys go first."

"The insects here ..."

"It's okay, leave it to me." Liu Ping said.

Norton nodded, stood beside Libertas, and took out a card.

"Listen, although I don't know where we will be teleported to, it shouldn't be too dangerous because this card has the power of blessing." Norton said to Libertas.

"Is that so? Then I wish you all good luck, "Liu Ping interrupted.

Hua Qingkong continued to listen.

"Let's go. If you really have something to do, you don't have to rush. We will wait for you." Libertas said meaningfully.

"Okay." Liu Ping smiled.

Norton threw out the card.

Bang!

He and Libertas disappeared from where they were.

No one knew where they had gone.

Even they themselves didn't know.

Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief and muttered, "He's finally gone. I didn't waste all my words. What do you think?"

Hua Qingkong listened attentively but did not reply.

Liu Ping looked at the swarm of insects and said loudly, "Alright, go all out. We have to kill all the insects here."

Pa!

The insect that could release frost was turned into a splatter of blood by the poisonous stingers of its companions.

Liu Ping pressed his hand on the floating tome.

"Lilith." he called.

"Hehe, Liu Ping, pick one yourself." Lilith's voice sounded from the card book.

"The leader that injured the Giant Demon Insect earlier, it's the most powerful one." Liu Ping said.

Amidst the swarm.

An Insect corpse that was lying on the ground suddenly flew up and waved its sharp arms in the air, cutting the Insects into pieces one by one.

In the void.

Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:

[You spent 9 Soul Points to activate the 'Death Puppet']

9 Soul Points.

This was only 1 Soul Point less than the Giant Demon Insect.

Liu Ping looked up.

The bug was shuttling back and forth on the battlefield, waving its sharp limbs and cutting countless bugs in half.

"This one is very rare, Liu Ping." Lilith said.

"That's good. I need it to help me accumulate some Soul Points." Liu Ping said.

"Why do you need so much Soul Points? Isn't the limit of Soul Points related to your level? "Lilith asked.

"I can use Soul Points to increase my level." Liu Ping said.

"Wah, so powerful? How much more Soul Points do you need? "Lilith asked.

Liu Ping glanced at the void.

"About 200 more Soul Points and it'll be enough." He said seriously.

Gentle, warm, and holy lights were scattered by him, landing in the sea of insects, healing the injuries of the insects that were on the brink of death.

His Soul Points began to increase.

"To be honest, I didn't expect it to be like this. But at least there's still a bit of hope. When I reach level 10, as a card user I will reach the first node. I hope that there'll be a turning point at level 10."

Liu Ping rambled on.

Hua Qingkong stood at the side and listened to every word he said.

Time passed.

He didn't know how many Insect dolls he had changed.

He didn't know how long the battle had lasted.

Finally.

All the Insect were dead.

Only the giant Insect and two flying Insects were left.

Liu Ping waved his hand gently.

With three consecutive sounds, the bugs turned into black cards and landed in his hand.

Small burning words appeared:

[According to the three-point leveling method, the percentage of Soul Points that you have obtained is:]

[130%]

[You can level up at any time]

Liu Ping finished reading and said, "If it was any other time, I would probably find it very interesting and can't wait to see what the so-called node of a card master's strength is all about."

"But now?"

He walked in front of Hua Qingkong and gently picked her up.

"I'm sorry. We came a little late and let this place turn into a trap."

His tone was a little annoyed and disappointed.

Hua Qingkong listened silently.

Liu Ping sighed and took a step forward, walking towards the wind and snow.

"Are you cold?"

"Libertas and I could have come earlier, but we encountered too many things on the way."

"Now that I'm free, I'll tell you slowly."

...

Liu Ping spoke along the way.

He told her about many things that he had encountered previously.

Hua Qingkong listened carefully.

The two of them walked for half a day and Liu Ping also talked for half a day.

At a certain moment.

He suddenly felt something and put Hua Qingkong down.

"Don't walk around, I'll go ahead and take a look, something seems to be wrong."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he walked towards the wind and snow in front of the road.

He walked in the thick snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, constantly muttering "If we continue forward, we will reach the ruins of the Ceylon Kingdom. That is our destination, but I haven't thought about what to do."

After a few breaths.

He had already walked a considerable distance.

Suddenly.

A dull voice came from the wind and snow. "I finally found you."

Liu Ping was on guard and shouted, "Who's there!"

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind Hua Qingkong.

It was a brawny man with a bare upper body.

He had a pair of fist blades in his hands and exuded a majestic aura.

"Don't move, brat, or I'll kill your companion."

The brawny man said lazily.

The sharp fist blades were pressed against Hua Qingkong's neck.

Hua Qingkong looked down and did not react for a moment.

"Don't touch her, who are you?"

Liu Ping asked.

"I'm Fist Demon, I just left Mechanus City, so I can freely come to the forbidden zone and hunt you and your companion here." The brawny man said.

"What do you want?" Liu Ping asked.

The brawny man stretched out his other hand and patted a cardbook.

Bang!

A set of shackles flew out and landed in front of Liu Ping.

"If you don't want your companion to die, put on the shackles and we'll talk about the rest." The brawny man said.

"Is it about the forbidden zone pass?" Liu Ping asked.

"Of course, impulsive brats like you have to pay the price." The brawny man said.

"I'll give you a suggestion, there's a very serious matter to deal with now, can you come to me later?"

Liu Ping said seriously, trying his best to put on a sincere expression.

The brawny man reached out, grabbed Hua Qingkong's head, and lifted her up.

The sharp blade of his fist pressed against her back.

"Cut the crap, I'll give you five seconds, or I'll kill this chick and then kill you!" The brawny man said fiercely.

Liu Ping glanced at Hua Qingkong and then at the brawny man.

He sighed helplessly and then ...

He shut his mouth.

From when Libertas and Norton left until now, he had finally stopped talking.

Opposite.

The brawny man began to count.

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One!"

Liu Ping remained silent and even retreated a little further.

Fist Demon sneered and said, "I heard that you took the forbidden zone pass to save someone. I thought you had guts, but who knew that you would let your woman die."

"Forget it, it's not fun, I'm going to kill this chick in front of you!"

He waved his fist blades and stabbed Hua Qingkong's heart.

There was a sudden change!

Dense slender and sharp limbs suddenly emerged from Hua Qingkong's body and pierced through Fist Demon instantly, sending him flying into the air. All the limbs turned into messy afterimages and twisted gently, turning Fist Demon into a bloody mist.

"Hehe."

Hua Qingkong chuckled, her eyes emitting a faint bloody glow. She looked up at the bloody mist floating in the snow.

"Stop! Listen to me. "

Liu Ping said.

A fierce gust of wind blew against him, causing his clothes to flutter wildly and almost fly into the air.

"We still have to continue our conversation. As for this person, I have indeed discovered him nearby. That's why I temporarily left you."

Liu Ping said.

Unknowingly, Hua Qingkong was already standing in front of him. The sharp limbs on her back were only a few inches away from piercing Liu Ping's body.

Liu Ping's expression did not change and he continued.

"Think about it, I've been carrying you all the way, how can I have the energy to deal with him? So I only hope that he's a lazy person or a psychopath who wants to capture you to threaten me."

The crimson color in Hua Qingkong's eyes gradually faded.

She looked like she was listening to him again.

"Sigh ... I'm late."

Liu Ping sighed.

All the limbs on Hua Qingkong's back gradually retracted.

She once again became a harmless and obedient girl. She stood where she was and listened to Liu Ping's narration silently.

Liu Ping said, "The emperor of the empire is in the same situation, but I guess this is not a hopeless situation. There must be a way to save you from this monster."

He looked at Hua Qingkong.

Two lines of small words appeared above Hua Qingkong's head:

[Parasitic body, prisoner]

[From her experience, we can deduce that in the prison of the Kingdom of Ceylon, there is more than one corpse insect controlled by the prisoner]

Liu Ping sighed.

On the other side of the void, lines of small burning words appeared motionless:

[You've activated 'Upstaging' again]

[The parasite will continue to listen to your narration until you shut up and end this performance]

Liu Ping shook his head and carried Hua Qingkong up.

"Although the prisoner is very powerful, I was also the Master of Demonic Path back then."

"Compared to the prisoner, this Master of Demonic Path seems to be countless levels lower."

He continued to ramble on.

"It's really depressing, to be honest, I'm a little lost too."

"But there's one thing you don't have to doubt."

"As long as I'm alive, I won't give up on you."

"We'll win."

"I know that at this time, it doesn't seem to be convincing at all."

"But life is always so hopeless."

"I have to cheer for myself."

"Let's go, we're almost there."

Hua Qingkong was in his arms, silently listening to his every word.

Liu Ping walked step by step into the snow.
