Chapter 570: Two candlesticks

There was a tombstone on the lawn.

The monster’s headless body was buried under the lawn and marked with a tombstone.

Its head was tied to its waist by Liu Ping using a rope to tie a dead knot in its hair.

After doing all this, Liu Ping returned to Hell’s Gate.

"Okay, we’re going in."

He said in a serious tone and his expression gradually became serious.

Lucifer had come to warn it once.

When the monster saw Hell’s Gate open, it did not even care about revenge and immediately wanted to escape.

It was obvious that the situation here was quite dangerous.

Dong!

Liu Ping kicked the door open and a faint wind blew from the depths of the darkness ...

Countless corpses floated on the blood water, filling the wind with an indescribable smell of blood and stench.

Liu Ping patted the monster’s head and asked, "Hey, the pontoon bridge here is broken, how can we cross?"

「Frost!」

The head quickly said, 「Other elements can’t do it, only frost can condense a temporary passage at the broken bridge, then you can reach the end of this hall.」

Liu Ping smiled and said, "You’re smart, you know to tell the truth, but you only told a little of the truth."

「Sir, I’ll tell you whatever you ask, I won’t hide anything! 」The monster’s head said in a sincere tone.

"Why can’t we fly?" Liu Ping asked.

「This is a hall where flying is prohibited. It is said that when God designed this place, he felt that all dead souls should be judged here in a solemn and respectful manner, so flying is not allowed,」 the monster said.

"If we fly, what will happen?" Liu Ping asked.

「You’ll have to ask God」 the monster said truthfully.

"God, come out and speak," Liu Ping said.

God’s majestic voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "If you fly freely here, you’ll have to pay a large sum of money to use the airspace."

"You just have to pay, right?" Liu Ping said sarcastically.

"It’s not that simple. Because of the disgraceful act of flying in Hell’s Hall, you’ll be severely punished. After paying the fine, you’ll be a coolie in the human world and become an exorcist, dedicating your life to exorcism."

"... I’d better walk," Liu Ping said.

He snapped his fingers and a rabbit suddenly appeared on his shoulder.

"Aha, I heard it. Are you going to use the Frost Bridge? No problem, "the rabbit rubbed its palms and said.

"Then I’ll go," Liu Ping said.

"Go!" Rabbit said.

Liu Ping’s body moved and landed on the corpse floating in the blood. He tapped his feet lightly a few times and leaped over a distance, quietly landing on the broken part of the pontoon bridge.

"Frost, materialize." Rabbit imitated Liu Ping and snapped his fingers.

Layers of snow-white frost condensed from the void and formed on the broken bridge, spreading into the depths of the darkness.

A bridge of ice and snow was formed!

"That’s enough ... There are too many strange things here. You’d better hurry up," the rabbit said.

"Thank you."

Liu Ping kept running along the bridge, his speed gradually increasing.

Suddenly.

The monster’s head on his waist laughed out loud.

「Hahaha, damned brat, although I told you the method, I didn’t tell you how difficult it is! You’re finished! 」

As Liu Ping ran, he looked around him.

He saw that the floating corpses gradually came to life, crawling onto the bridge of ice and snow with bloodstains all over their bodies, trying to stop Liu Ping.

「"Flesh and blood ..."」

「"A living person!"」

「"Eat him!"」

「"He can’t resist our strength!"」

The corpses let out low growls and gradually covered the entire bridge.

Weapons appeared from the void beside Liu Ping, followed by Andrea’s voice:

"Looks like we’re going to fight, Liu Ping."

"No, these guys are all dead and can’t be killed. Just like this guy at my waist, I feel that it’s a bit too much to kill their souls. After all, they’re also victims."

Liu Ping thought for a moment, opened his card tome, took out a card and threw it out.

Boom!

With a soft sound, the card turned into a candlestick that emitted a faint holy light.

[Holy Candlestick.]

[Description: Releases the light of the Exorcism Candle, causing all evil to be unable to enter the area covered by the candlestick."

[(Using the candlestick requires money, one gram of gold per second. If you don’t have enough money, you’ll be kicked out of the area covered by the holy light.)]

Liu Ping held the candlestick and walked forward.

Along the way, all the corpses that were illuminated by the candlestick were pushed away, falling into the blood pool far away with a continuous’ plop ’sound.

God’s voice followed: "Look, how holy you are in the candlestick!

How majestic!

How powerful!

You are the last hope of humanity! "

"It’s fine, I’ve only spent money, no need to say so much" Liu Ping said.

Liu Ping walked on the ice bridge for a while, when a dead person with a big belly suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was wearing a luxurious magic robe, all 10 of its fingers were adorned with rings inlaid with gems, and it held a spear made of gold in its hand.

「"Blood ... flesh ... for me to eat ..."」

The dead person staggered towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping raised the candlestick.

The holy light illuminated all the darkness, sending all the dead people around flying.

However, the pot-bellied undead was standing in the middle of the holy light, completely unscathed.

"Huh? What’s going on? "Liu Ping was shocked.

"He spent money," God said.

Liu Ping looked at the dead person, only to see it open its mouth, revealing a mouth full of golden teeth.

One of the golden teeth suddenly disappeared.

「"I ... spent ... a ... golden tooth ... quickly give me ... flesh to eat!"」

The dead person was drooling, speaking with an impatient tone.

"God, kick it out" Liu Ping said.

"You can’t, this candlestick only recognizes the rule of death, it indeed has the virtue of upholding its principles, it won’t reject an enemy just because of their background, and definitely won’t attack. This is called ’all life is equal’, my child."

God spoke with a deep and emotional tone.

Liu Ping scolded: "What do you mean all life is equal, you’re just a money-grubber!"

He casually took out a whip from the void of space and swung it towards the dead person.

The Undead was immediately sent flying, causing a series of explosions in the air before falling into the bloody water far away.

It originally wanted to continue towards Liu Ping, but the heavy golden spear in its hand dragged it deeper into the blood pool.

The path ahead was clear again.

Liu Ping looked down at the whip.

Andrea chuckled: "It’s called the Exploding Whip, when it hits an enemy it will cause a series of explosions."

"What a good weapon."

Liu Ping praised, put the whip back into the void of space, and continued forward with the candlestick.

There were no more accidents along the way, all the dead people were repelled by the candlestick, couldn’t help but fly out of the icy bridge and fall into the blood pool.

A few dozen breaths later.

Liu Ping finally reached the end of the path.

There was no path here at all.

On the grey wall, there was a painting painted with blood, depicting a woman holding a candlestick.

Liu Ping looked at the candlestick in his hand, then at the woman’s candlestick.

The candlestick wasn’t silver, but completely black, giving off a black glow.

"Oi, omnipotent and omniscient Lord, come out and speak," he silently spoke.

God’s voice didn’t come.

Suddenly.

The monster head on his waist laughed out loud again:

「"Ahahaha, damn brat, although you’ve made it here, you’re destined to die here as soon as you take out that candlestick!"」

"Why?" Liu Ping calmly asked.

「"Because your candlestick only takes money and doesn’t kill, but this woman’s candlestick is different, it only takes lives! Prepare to die! "」the head spoke full of hatred.

As soon as it said that.

The blood-red painting slowly became alive.

The woman painted with blood came to life. She looked up, staring at Liu Ping and the candlestick in his hand outside the painting.

She spoke: 「Your life, I’m taking it.」

The woman raised the candlestick in her hand.

In an instant, rays of black light were emitted from the candlestick, turning everything in the surroundings into a pitch-black darkness.

Only the Holy Candlestick in Liu Ping’s hand was still giving off a faint white glow.

Lines of burning text appeared in front of Liu Ping’s eyes:

[You’ve been attacked by the ’Death Perception Realm’]

[Effect: As long as you’re enveloped by darkness, you’ll immediately die]

[Because you have the Holy Candlestick in your hand, the darkness can’t envelop you for now, so you’re still alive]

[Attention:]

[Under the attack of this wicked and strange realm of darkness, the Holy Candlestick’s consumption of Gold per second has been increased by a hundred times]

All the text disappeared.

In the darkness, the woman’s voice faintly came:

「"The Holy Candlestick ... what a joke, I’ve already increased its consumption by a hundred times, when you don’t have money, you won’t be able to make it work ... very well, I’ll wait for that moment"」

Liu Ping cleared his throat, then raised the candlestick to illuminate the darkness around him.

"Sword"

He uttered.

7-8 swords appeared from the void of space, hovering motionlessly in the air.

Liu Ping picked one of the swords, then raised the candlestick in one hand and the sword in the other: "Lady, please let me pass, because you won’t be able to kill me."

「"Ah?Why not? "」the woman asked with interest.

"You can’t even begin to imagine how much wealth I have. Even if the consumption is increased by a hundred times, it’ll still take a few thousand years for the Holy Candlestick’s holy light to even have a tiny chance of being extinguished."

Liu Ping raised the sword horizontally.

Oong.

The sword vibrated nonstop, then began to accumulate sword phantoms.

Secret Art, [Tremor Slash] was ready.
