Purgatory Artist
Chapter 510: Secret

Chapter 510: Secret

Li Zhangxue squinted her beautiful eyes, both hands hidden inside her sleeves, holding her sword in the crook of her arm. She crossed her arms, looking very relaxed.

However, her words were laced with a murderous intent that made people feel intimidated.

A swordsman!

A true swordsman!

If Demetrius’s next words aren’t good, Li Zhangxue will draw her sword and kill her.

Her next attack will definitely take her life.

The silver-haired old man’s eyes flashed with eagerness.

Unfortunately, such a swordswoman isn’t in my hands, but was taken in as a follower card by that Mr. Darkness.

What a pity.

The silver-haired old man chuckled and spoke: "It’s fine, Demetrius is only asking. After all, it wasn’t easy for her to raise two girls, she’ll still be worried about them before they leave."

It’s fine if he didn’t say that, but as soon as he did, both Yana and Maria’s expressions changed.

"Younger sister, do you still remember?" Maria asked.

"How could I not — — although you’re the younger sister, I know what you mean," Yana replied.

"Back then, all of our companions were tortured to death by her, only the two of us barely managed to pass the trial and become her slaves ..." Maria said.

"I’ll never forget," Yana replied.

"Stop!" Liu Ping glanced at the silver-haired old man and casually spoke: "Stop instigating them."

"I didn’t use any Occultism powers, I’m only trying to persuade them to get along," the silver-haired old man smiled deeply.

A resplendent and ferocious sword radiance shot out and slashed the silver-haired old man’s body, sending him flying like a rainbow piercing through the sun.

The silver-haired old man fell towards the sea of monsters on the other side of the river, then abruptly retreated and uttered an evil and hateful roar:

"Sword cultivator, do you want to die?"

"I only used 10% of my power just now, if you try to cause trouble again, I’ll kill you" Li Zhangxue said.

While reaching the tentacles, the silver-haired old man shouted: "Demetrius — —"

Before Demetrius could recover from her shock, she saw Liu Ping waving a card between his fingers.

"Cruel Matriarch, I’ll get straight to the point."

"I have a total of two return teleportation cards, I want one, the other is between you and him — — do you want to give it to him? Or do you want to use it yourself? "

Demetrius looked at the card in Liu Ping’s hand and sensed it. She instantly understood the effect of the card.

"But — you seem to have signed an offensive and defensive alliance contract — would you abandon him?"

She asked doubtfully.

"The content of the contract is like this — — he’ll be responsible for attacking, and I’ll be responsible for defending. When I return to Purgatory, I can continue to defend, so it’s fine."

"What about him?"

"If he wants to attack the nightmare monsters, he can only stay here. There won’t be any nightmare monsters when he goes back, don’t you think so?"

As he spoke, the image of a contract appeared before Liu Ping.

It was the Offense and Defense Alliance Contract.

Demetrius glanced at him and nodded silently.

Although he didn’t understand why there were so many changes in the contract, as well as the various interpretation clauses derived from it —

But the contract was real.

"But why should I believe that you would take out a teleport card?"

"Let’s make another contract. Yana, help."

Yana quickly took out a contract and wrote down the contents according to Liu Ping’s instructions.

After reading it, Liu Ping immediately signed his real name.

The contract was immediately established!

Demetrius took a look and saw the words written on it:

"The person who contributed the most in the battle can follow Liu Ping back to the Purgatory Divine Pillar."

That’s good.

Demetrius looked at the silver-haired old man and said with a complicated expression:

"I originally spent a large sum of treasures and entrusted him to help me complete a round of ancient sacrifice. I didn’t expect that as soon as the deal was over, I would be standing on the opposite side of him."

Until now.

The lines of small burning words in Liu Ping’s eyes began to change:

[Warning!]

[Demetrius is in a sacrificial state, this is a special state that cannot be resisted.]

[Her target is you and the people around you.]

[Please take note.]

"In order to obtain a chance to return to the Purgatory Divine Pillar, she has changed her target."

["Current target: Nightmare Tentacle.]

Liu Ping finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"I’m going!" After Demetrius finished speaking, her figure flashed and pounced on the monster.

"We have to get rid of this monster quickly, or else when that guy comes back, the situation will be even more difficult," Li Zhangxue said.

She held a long sword, lightly stomped her feet, and flew into the air.

"I’m coming as well" Maria said.

Yana stood next to Liu Ping, her hands glowing with holy light as she smiled: "I’ll protect you."

The battle immediately began!

The silver-haired old man, Demetrius, Li Zhangxue, and Maria all attacked at the same time, so the momentum was naturally different from before.

The tentacles were continuously struck by spells and sword qi, causing a rain of blood to explode.

But it didn’t die!

It was as if all spells, even the Occultism used by living beings couldn’t kill it!

Time slowly passed.

Liu Ping looked up at the dark void of space.

[Heaven’s Peek] activated!

At the very next moment.

A scene appeared in Liu Ping’s mind.

— — -two Reincarnation power seeds, one manifested [Heaven’s Peek], the other fused with the mask of Huang Quan and manifested [Hell’s Deities].

At this point, Liu Ping’s personality was no longer affected.

After a few moments of silence, he sent his voice to Yana: "That monster will return in about 7 minutes."

"How do you know?" Yana asked.

"I currently have an ability that allows me to see the future," Liu Ping explained.

"7 minutes ... Liu Ping, we have to retreat, that nightmare monster is definitely not something we can fight against" Yana said with a trembling voice.

She was a Holy Knight, naturally fearless and brave. But at this moment, Liu Ping could see an emotion that he had never seen before in her eyes.

Even when she died in Eternal Night, she didn’t show such an emotion.

Fear.

Liu Ping stepped forward to hug her and whispered, "It’ll be fine, we’ll leave right away"

Zhao Chanyi suddenly jumped out from the card Tome, caressing her Blade as she spoke:

"Hmph, you’re already scared, watch me — — -"

Liu Ping put her away.

She immediately returned to the Tome.

"Stop fooling around, this place is very dangerous, prepare to become stronger with me later — — - if you don’t, it’ll only become more and more dangerous" Liu Ping said.

Zhao Chanyi was originally glaring at him, but as soon as she heard Liu Ping say ’become stronger with me’, she forgot about her anger.

"Alright, you have the final say."

She sat cross-legged on top of the card book and obediently entered meditation to cultivate.

Liu Ping put the card book away, his eyes flickered as he glanced at the battlefield.

[Heaven’s Peek] activated again!

This was to grasp the direction of the entire battle — — -

The four powerful Divinities, evil creatures, and swordswoman took turns to fight the tentacle, but the counterattack of the tentacle only became stronger and stronger.

"Come back!"

At a certain point, Liu Ping put his hand on the Tome and shouted.

Maria instantly disappeared and turned back into a card on top of the Tome .

"That was close."

She said with lingering fear.

The tentacle seemed to have gotten used to her attacks and even cooperated with her, pretending to be wounded and dying, but suddenly counterattacked.

Fortunately, Liu Ping put her away.

At this point, only the silver-haired old man, Demetrius, and Li Zhangxue were still fighting against the tentacle.

Li Zhangxue leapt forward and returned to Liu Ping’s side.

"I’ve already killed it a million times, but I still can’t kill it, how strange," she frowned.

"Think about the monster we fought earlier," Yana reminded her.

"Ah"

Li Zhangxue sighed with an inexplicable meaning, her slender and delicate fingers couldn’t help but grip her sword tightly.

Zing — — -

The sword in her hand disappeared and was replaced by another sword.

She began to switch swords in her hands continuously, and not a single sword stopped.

"Don’t worry," Liu Ping muttered.

"Hm?" Yana doubtfully asked.

"Don’t worry?" Li Zhangxue also asked.

The two girls both turned to look at him.

Liu Ping stayed silent and didn’t say anything else.

— — I’ve fought against nightmare monsters for countless years, how could I not know how terrifying they are?

The reason why I’m not leaving now isn’t because I think I can win against them.

Rather ...

He looked at the silver-haired old man and Demetrius in the air, his gaze slowly became deep.

These two evil creatures are the true hidden threat.

Of course, Demetrius and the silver-haired old man are natural allies.

Although I can just leave — —

Why would I do that?

Why not break their alliance first?

If they have some sort of backup plan that can avoid this danger, wouldn’t I have two more powerful enemies in the future?

Speaking of which, whether it’s the silver-haired old man or Demetrius, how could evil creatures of their level not have any trump cards?

They definitely have.

And so — — -

Break their relationship, make them turn against each other, make them reveal their trump cards, make them harm each other for the sake of survival.

During this process, I’ll make them work for me.

This is the correct way to eliminate hidden threats!

Liu Ping suddenly spoke up: "Three minutes left!"

He held the Teleportation Card in his hand with a hesitant look on his face as he muttered:

"There’s only one extra warp card, who is it for?"

On the other side of the Blood River.

The silver-haired old man had been paying attention to the situation here for a long time, his expression changed as he heard that.

He looked up at the dark void of space, feeling a strange sense of pressure from the sky.

An even more terrifying monster — — -

It’s about to return!

The silver-haired old man no longer hesitated and shouted: "Aldrich! According to our deal, it’s time! "

Demetrius’ figure abruptly stopped and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that, Yana exclaimed: "What’s going on?

She’s a very powerful entity — — "

Liu Ping pulled the two girls and slowly retreated. He said softly,

"Don’t say anything, some secrets are about to surface."

Li Zhangxue nodded, sheathed her sword and stood with her hands behind her back, observing the situation without saying a word.

Liu Ping is the worst.

If he says that something is about to surface, then he must have divined something.

Just follow him and watch the show.

This is very safe.
