Purgatory Artist
Chapter 542: Selected!

Chapter 542: Selected!

Rumble.

The ground in the middle of the square cracked open, and a huge head of seven to eight meters high emerged from the ground, looking down at everyone.

"Welcome, mortals."

The huge head opened its mouth, revealing a door studded with gems.

"From this door in my mouth, you can enter the Dragon Clan’s treasury, but among you, only the final winner will have this honor."

The six people in the square looked at each other.

"You want us all to die and leave only one person behind, is that it?" Delia sneered.

The others also became vigilant.

Even though Aland had already obtained a Dragon Clan’s helmet, he suddenly came to a realization.

Yes.

Everything here was too deliberate.

In an intense battle, if there was only one person left, then this person must have used all his strength.

At this time, if the Dragon Clan had bad intentions.

Wouldn’t that mean that the final victor would also die in their hands?

If everyone killed each other and the last person was killed, no one could enter the Dragon Clan’s treasury.

This was a good plan!

"That’s right," the bald man continued, "I noticed it from the beginning. You guys have been letting us kill each other. This is not normal."

The huge head looked down at everyone and said in a mocking tone, "Mortals, don’t think that you guys can’t be blinded by your greed.

"Mortals, do not speculate about the dragons with your lustful thoughts. Everything that happens here is actually just to help the dragons choose a truly trustworthy comrade."

Comrade

"What are you guys fighting against?" Liu Ping immediately asked.

"Only the final winner will know everything," the huge head said.

"But we won’t kill each other anymore, at least I won’t," Liu Ping said firmly.

He kept retreating, far away from the remaining five people, indicating that he would not participate in the upcoming battle.

Delia smiled and also took a few steps back.

The huge head said, "Don’t worry, this selection is not for you to kill each other, but to test your talents."

A ray of light flashed.

Among the six people, the bald man disappeared.

"Where is he? What did you do to him? "Aland asked warily.

"Don’t worry, each of you has different characteristics, so the test is different," the huge head said.

As they spoke, another person disappeared from the square.

The remaining people gradually understood.

This was a World Technique that required a spirit to activate, an extremely rare ability.

The rabbit silently appeared and whispered into Liu Ping’s ear: "Many dragons are hiding in the dark, each dragon is responsible for activating a World Technique to take one person away."

"Putting in so much effort, I’m really curious as to what they are trying to do," Liu Ping said.

In fact, he had already seen some clues.

He had seen this huge head before.

That was a long time ago, when he first met Andrea.

At that time, Andrea was bidding farewell to some masked fellows. Those fellows were heading to the depths of Evernight to avoid the war between the gods.

They had appeared and left through the door of this giant head.

So.

Andrea was with them?

No, that’s impossible.

If Andrea was here, she would have come to see me.

But this was already the bottom of the Divine Pillar of Eternal Night, and he still hadn’t found her!

Where the hell was she?

At this time, the people in the square had all disappeared, leaving only him.

Liu Ping couldn’t help but sigh: "If only I was a Star River Saint ..."

A Star River Saint was an extremely high cultivation realm, their strength was unparalleled in this world, they could be considered a big shot no matter where they went.

If it was a Star River Saint, they would probably only need a few breaths’ worth of time to flip the entire world upside down.

Regardless of where Andrea was, she would’ve already been found.

Unfortunately, Liu Ping’s strength was still about 10 realms away from a Star River Saint.

And he didn’t dare to casually use any of the skills in the setting.

He could only barely protect himself.

Suddenly, a world came from afar and directly pulled Liu Ping inside.

The world seemed to have turned into darkness.

Endless waves surged in from all directions.

Countless dragon roars could be heard, both near and far, as if they were trying to pull him into a dream.

Finally.

The tide receded.

Liu Ping opened his eyes, only to see himself sitting on a small boat with a fishing rod in his hand, fishing alone in the cold river.

On another boat not too far away, someone clasped their fist and said:

"We heard that your Excellency had cultivated to the realm of breaking through the void, so we came from the higher realms to guide your Excellency to the real world."

"The real world?" Liu Ping repeated.

At this moment, his mind became blank, as if he couldn’t remember anything.

An unfamiliar memory flashed through his mind.

He had been practicing martial arts since he was young, his name was known everywhere when he was young, and by the time he was in his thirties, he was already invincible.

Today, he had cultivated to the realm of breaking through the void, and the heavens had already sent someone to bring him up.

Life was nothing more than this.

Liu Ping asked, "The real world? Is the upper realm the real world? "

"That’s right, we have fought for the vast human race and the common people of the world, conquered countless worlds, and encountered countless enemies. Your Excellency’s current strength is enough to join us." The person smiled and clasped his fist.

In the sky, a door filled with light suddenly opened, revealing the scene of another world.

Liu Ping held his breath and watched quietly.

Everything was perfect.

At this moment, it was the beginning of his journey to the upper realm, to pursue a stronger martial arts, and to fight tirelessly for the common people of the world.

But he kept feeling that something was wrong.

What exactly was wrong?

"That’s right ..."

A hint of understanding suddenly flashed in his eyes.

In a hundred million worlds, all living beings and non-living beings, no one could deceive him.

This was a hoax.

Among the many worlds, humans were merely trying their best to become more delicious fruits.

Nightmares controlled everything!

Tick tock, tick tock.

Rain began to fall from the sky.

The rain was getting heavier.

Liu Ping raised his head and looked at the rain. For some reason, he recalled the scene when he woke up in the burial ground.

Although the raindrops were light and fluttering, each drop was like a human’s fate that had long been arranged.

There were no surprises.

Could it be that he would have to live such a life again?

"Your Excellency, please return to the Upper Realm with us." The person opposite him cupped his hands and said.

Behind him, everyone cupped their hands and waited for Liu Ping to move.

Liu Ping suddenly laughed and recited softly,

"Who will wake up first?"

Boom!

The scene of the entire world spread out in front of his eyes, turning into wisps of light that flew away.

Liu Ping found himself back in the square.

There was no one around.

The huge head looked down at him and said in a deep voice, "Very good, you are the person we are looking for."

"Me?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, you can see through everything and are not confused by the world. You are just right to cooperate with our Dragon Race to save someone." The huge head said.

Liu Ping’s heart skipped a beat.

He had been in the human world for a long time and was used to seeing countless scenes. Often, he would be able to understand the other party’s meaning with a single action or expression.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

’Andrea!

She seemed to have done something and was waiting for him to go!

"Tell me, who do you want me to save?" Liu Ping asked.

"Actually, that person said that the person she chose would not be deceived by anything." The huge head said.

The door in its mouth opened with a bang, and a stream of light flew out and landed in the ring on Liu Ping’s hand, emitting a bright light.

A line of small burning words suddenly appeared:

[Some kind of Dragon Race Divine Skill has been used on your ’Emblem of Friendship’.]

[After about 30 minutes, the Divine Skill will become permanent and become a fixed ability of the ’Emblem of Friendship’.]

Liu Ping glanced and asked, "What is this for?"

The huge head said, "We’ll talk about it later, now we have to settle the matter here first."

In the square.

Figures appeared one after another.

The few experts who were wrapped in the world just now returned here untouched.

Everyone looked at each other.

Everyone had a blank expression, and no one looked happy about passing the test.

The huge head said,

"Everyone, the final test has ended. None of you passed the test, so you have no fate with the treasure of our Dragon Race. Please return."

Rumble rumble rumble

The head slowly sank into the ground and disappeared from everyone’s eyes.

Then, the entire square began to shake.

It seemed that this place was about to collapse.

"Damn it, what’s going on? I clearly became the strongest person in that test and was about to be taken to the Upper Realm. Why didn’t I pass the test?" The bald man cursed.

"Me too. I became the strongest knight in a magical world. An angel came from the Upper Realm to pick me up, and then someone said that I failed the test." Aland said.

The others echoed in agreement.

Liu Ping suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Delia’s expression.

However, it was too late to ask.

The underground plaza began to fall into complete destruction.

The bald man said, "The spatial imprisonment here has disappeared. Since there are no treasures to take, we’ll take our leave first."

He took out a scroll, which turned into a door of light.

They entered in a single file and disappeared in front of Liu Ping and the others.

Only Alan, Delia, and Liu Ping were left in the square that was gradually collapsing.

"We’re leaving as well." Delia said.

Her face suddenly turned pale and she fainted on the ground.

Liu Ping hurriedly rushed forward to catch her.

"Aland, come and help!" he shouted.

What he got in response was a sharp cold light.

Only a soft "dang" sound was heard.

The cold light shattered.

Aland looked at the short sword in his hand.

The sword had already shattered.

A rabbit floated in the air and laughed in spite of itself. "You can’t even block the Frost Blade, and you’re learning from others to ambush me?"

Aland sighed. "This sword is indeed useless. Now I’m unarmed ... Liu Ping, I hope you’ll let me go."

Liu Ping carried Delia and retreated step by step.

"Let you go? No, I think you don’t want to let me go. Delia has also fainted, and the sequence is blocked in this place. You want to kill us, don’t you? "

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said in a serious tone.

Aland was stunned. He spread out his hands and said, "You clearly broke my sword just now."

"Who said that you only have one sword?" Liu Ping asked.

Aland stared at him and opened his mouth.

"You’ve been emphasizing one thing in front of Delia. Your sword was dedicated to the Dragon Race, so you must have other swords." Liu Ping said.

Alan’s face darkened. He said in a low voice, "What evidence do you have?"

"When we first encountered enemies, three people chased after you. Where are they?" Liu Ping said.

Rumble rumble

The plaza was torn apart, and the edge began to fall into the abyss below.

Aland sighed and pulled out another long sword that emitted a cold aura from his back.

The sharp sword aura that belonged to a Sword Saint was emitted from his body.

"Liu Ping, you’re really suitable to be an expeditionary soldier. Unfortunately, you got that ring too early. Delia also made a fortune, and I have nothing."

"So you really want to kill us?" Liu Ping said.

"Yes, I’ve been estimating your energy consumption. Now you should only be able to use one more move." Alan said calmly.

He raised his sword and pointed at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping sighed. Just as he was about to activate "Dark Purgatory", he suddenly sensed something in his heart.

Lilith’s voice sounded in his ears.

"Someone has maxed out their merit points and wants to exchange for a beginner skill!"

"No, any of their moves will attract those nightmare monsters. Don’t let them come!" Liu Ping made a prompt decision.

Lilith smiled and said, "It’s okay. She’s the Sword God of the Six Paths of Reincarnation."

The next moment.

Suddenly, there were waves of war drums that were louder and louder.

This seemed to have become the standard every time she appeared.

Is it a Thaumaturgy, or is there really a Huamg Quan God protecting her in the dark?

Liu Ping only had time to think so much before he saw a card fly up from the card book, making a soft "bang" sound.

The drumming that was as heavy as rain suddenly stopped.

A beautiful woman wearing a bamboo hat and holding a long sword quietly appeared.

Li Zhangxue!

She sensed Aland’s killing intent and glanced over.

"Huh? Someone who uses a sword! "Her eyes lit up.

When she looked again, he actually pointed his sword at Liu Ping!

There was a moment of silence.

A monstrous and awe-inspiring sword intent suddenly burst out, blowing away the surrounding rocks and causing her clothes to flutter in the wild wind.

Li Zhangxue stretched out her slender fingers and pressed on the hilt of the long sword. She said softly.

"You want to kill Liu Ping?

That’s interesting ..."
