Purgatory Artist
Chapter 640: Murder

Chapter 640: Murder

Dark Spire.

Liu Ping and the silver-haired man sat in front of a table, drinking wine slowly.

"Why did someone like you enter the dream alone?" the silver-haired man asked.

"Anyway, I won’t die. It’s impossible for anything to kill me. My brother gave me a lot of things. After he was done, he said that I can play however I want." Liu Ping said nonchalantly.

"That’s amazing, why don’t you join our ’Devouring Devil’ camp?" the silver-haired man said.

"You’ll give me your seat?" Liu Ping joked.

"I’ll let you be the second-in-command, how about that?" the silver-haired man said.

"No, I’m not interested in you guys, I’m just here to play." Liu Ping’s eyes flashed as he casually said.

He knew that he had a Nightmare Lord behind him, but he didn’t come to curry favor with him and only wanted to make use of his equal.

This person had a strong desire for power, or he had a powerful master behind him.

The silver-haired man smiled and raised his cup.

The two clinked their cups.

A while had passed.

Since Liu Ping entered this temporary camp, the silver-haired man had been accompanying him, as if he wanted to get some information or to find out his background.

Liu Ping suddenly felt something and looked around, seeing Bing Ye and Mayuzumi not far away.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a mustache, and the other was an ugly woman. They didn’t stand out at all, so no one paid attention to them.

The two of them negotiated with a few members of the ’Devouring Devil’ team, and after paying a certain treasure, they were allowed to enter the waiting area.

There were World Lords standing in groups of twos and threes in the waiting area.

They all paid a certain fee, so they could wait here.

When the time was up, the team would let these people enter the Dark Tower.

The silver-haired man noticed Liu Ping’s gaze and smiled, "We’re actually a very reasonable team, we won’t reject everyone just because we have a mission."

Liu Ping stretched and said, "When are you going in?"

"Until the last hour." the silver-haired man said.

"Same for these people?"

"They want to go in with us, they can’t go in earlier, otherwise, they’ll have all the information inside, and they’ll discover the benefits first. Won’t we be at a disadvantage?" the silver-haired man said.

He thought for a while and added, "Of course, you’re not one of them."

Liu Ping waved his hand and said, "Actually, I’m just here to play. I’ve already settled my matters."

A man walked up to the two of them and knelt on the ground.

"Boss, I was wrong." The man lowered his head and said.

He is Wu.

After having his heart dug out by Bing Ye, he didn’t die. Instead, he was ruthlessly beaten up by his own boss. He almost couldn’t be saved.

As soon as he woke up, he hurried over to apologize.

It had to be said that this kind of attitude was not bad.

The silver-haired man’s eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction. He said, "Alright, things have been going too smoothly recently, so you guys lost your sense of propriety after kicking an iron plate. Be careful next time."

"Yes, Boss," Wu said in a low voice.

"Go and patrol. There are still a few hours left. Don’t drop the ball." the silver-haired man said.

Wu knelt on the ground and did not move.

"Oh? Is there anything else? Are you not convinced? "The silver-haired man smiled playfully.

He thought for a while and continued, "I don’t intend to let those guys who killed my men go, but the mission is more important now. There’s a priority for everything. Do you understand?"

"No ... Boss, it’s actually that female World Lord that I know ... I entered the dream world half a year early and worked hard until now just to wait for her." Wu said hesitantly.

There were experts all around. His words could not be hidden from anyone. Everyone heard it.

Everyone showed a disapproving look.

The silver-haired man was also a little bored and even a little impatient.

A World Lord who could not forget another female World Master?

This was really too boring.

Yet, he still had to bring it up. Was he not embarrassed enough?

Mayuzumi stood far away and looked at this man with surprise.

"Hahahaha."

A burst of loud laughter sounded.

Liu Ping stood up from the chair and slowly walked to Wu. He asked with a breath reeking of alcohol,

"Women, aren’t they all used to help us build worlds? You’re not a newborn human, you’re a world! So tell me, what’s so different about her? "

Wu clenched his teeth and said, "I was just about to report, Boss. That female World Master named ’Mayuzumi’ once raised a few baby dragons. Later on, a group of dragons flew over and settled in her world."

There was a series of messy sounds.

The silver-haired man knocked over the table and pounced in front of Wu. He grabbed him by the neck and said,

"Say that again?"

"It’s true, Boss. There are dragons building a nest in her world." Wu said.

There was silence all around.

Many people were at a loss. They did not know the meaning of this at all.

Only one or two World Lords had a fanatical look on their faces.

"Hey, Andrea, you’re the Sacred Spirit of the Dragon Race. Tell me, what does it mean for the Dragon Race to build a nest in a world?" Liu Ping asked quietly.

"We Dragon Race will not build a nest casually even if we travel to billions of worlds. There’s only one situation that will make us want to settle down." Andrea said.

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"This world has a great future and is nurturing unimaginable treasures. That’s why we came to such a world to settle down." Andrea said.

"So that’s how it is. Bad!" Liu Ping shouted.

He looked at the field and saw that the silver-haired man had already lifted Wu up and shouted, "Anything on her body will do! Or even a flower or a handful of soil in her world? Was it possible? Take it out! "

"Yes!"

Wu hurriedly took out a strand of long hair from his chest and said, "I’ve sparred with her a few times before and deliberately cut off some of her hair."

The silver-haired man did not say anything and directly snatched the strand of hair. His other hand began to draw cards.

Without a doubt.

The silver-haired man wanted to find Mayuzumi’s hiding place through her hair.

But Mayuzumi was in this camp right now!

Liu Ping looked not far away and saw that Bing Ye and Mayuzumi’s faces were filled with uneasiness.

Their people were all around them.

Once they found out that Mayuzumi was here, they had no chance of winning.

There was only one way.

Dream World!

In this timeline, the Manor Lord had sealed time and space. But this was a dream world!

If a time traveler appeared in the dream world, would the Manor Lord notice?

Liu Ping hesitated for a moment.

The silver-haired man drew a Card and tossed it out, shouting: "Go, find that woman."

As soon as he finished speaking.

The card turned into a streak of light and was about to fly towards Mayuzumi.

Clang!

Liu Ping pulled out his Warden Saber and slashed at the void.

Boom

Everything in the surroundings turned into a torrential torrent, and all the light and shadows went against the flow.

Liu Ping rode on the power of the bronze saber and crossed the shackles of time, returning to the time before everything had happened!

He landed abruptly and sat in front of the table with a cup of wine in his hand.

The silver-haired man smiled and said, "Of course, you are not one of them."

Liu Ping waved his hand dismissively: "I’m actually just here to play, I’ve already taken care of everything."

He looked at the void of space.

Lines of burning text hovered motionlessly in the air:

[You want to activate Warden Blade’s ability: Life Protection]

[Activating this ability requires the consumption of a high-tier card]

[You’ve lost a Divine Card, paid for by God in advance]

[Life Protection has been activated!]

Liu Ping sighed and drank all the liquor in his glass.

If Mayuzumi had chosen to leave with Wu, he wouldn’t have needed to care about her.

But she clearly knew that rejecting Wu would result in her leaving the dreamscape, yet she still chose to stand with her ’best friends’, how could he just stand by and watch?

Time’s up.

A man walked in front of the two of them and obediently knelt on the ground.

"Boss, I was wrong." the man lowered his head.

Wu.

The silver-haired man spoke: "That’s enough, it’s because things have been going too smoothly recently that you lost your composure after hitting a wall, be careful next time."

"Yes, Boss." Wu replied in a low voice.

"Go on patrol, there are still a few hours left, don’t screw up" the silver-haired man said.

Wu knelt on the ground without moving.

"Oh? Is there something else? You don’t like it? "the silver-haired man smiled playfully.

"No ... Boss, it’s actually that female world lord that I know ... I entered the dreamscape half a year early and worked hard until now just to wait for her." Wu stuttered.

Everyone showed looks of disdain.

For a woman, you specifically brought this up to Boss, do you think Boss has nothing better to do?

"AHAHAHA!" Liu Ping laughed out loud.

His voice was as loud as a bell, so Wu didn’t know what to say.

This person was able to sit and drink with Boss and look so arrogant, he was obviously someone with a high status and wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

So Wu kept his mouth shut and silently waited for him to finish laughing.

At this moment.

Liu Ping’s gaze turned sharp and suddenly activated [Special Effects Aaster].

An illusory world instantly enveloped Wu.

He knelt on the ground, feeling that the man was still laughing maniacally.

Outside this illusory world.

Everyone saw Wu suddenly look up and shout: "You evil bastard, stop laughing my ass, do you want to die?"

This was still a special effect created by Liu Ping!

Everyone could see Wu’s expression and hear his curses, except for Wu himself!

Liu Ping was enraged and shouted, "How dare you! You sissy dare to scold me?"

The silver-haired man’s expression changed. He quickly blocked Liu Ping and said, "Sorry, my subordinate is a little ..."

Whoosh!

Saber light flashed.

Wu’s head flew out and entered a colorful world, disappearing in an instant.

Liu Ping, who had been shouting angrily at the same spot, disappeared.

He stood behind Wu’s headless body and had just sheathed his saber.

He Looked at Liu Ping who is blocked by the silver-haired man

Everything turned into nothingness.

Four special effects!

The first level was Deception.

The second step was to deceive everyone.

The third trick was to trick the silver-haired man into coming out to block him.

The fourth level helped him enter the void and directly appeared behind Wu. He activated the world’s main attribute, "Absolute Prohibition", and cut off Wu’s head with a single slash!

Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[You didn’t activate the Occultism power of Deception. You only used the special effects artist to complete a beginner level battle of deception]

[All the Laws of Deception, Deceit, Conspiracy, and Trickery revolved around you and cheered for you]

[With this stunning performance, your Role Points have increased by 1]

[Current Role Points: 3/10]

All the text retracted.

I can get an extra Role Point like this?

Not bad.

But now isn’t the time to think about this.

Liu Ping smiled at the silver-haired man and said, "My apologies, I really can’t stand people scolding me like this."

The silver-haired man looked at Liu Ping and felt his heart sink.

How did he get past me?

How did he manage to kill Wu with a simple slash?

No matter what, Wu is still a World Lord!!!

Just like that, his head was chopped off like a chicken.

Silence filled the surroundings.

The silver-haired man couldn’t think of what to do.

At this point, Liu Ping took out a pouch from his pants and threw it to the silver-haired man.

The silver-haired man caught it.

The pouch was already in tatters and broke open with a ’rip’.

8 treasures of various sizes fell out from inside, each of them were extraordinary and gave off a pleasant sound as they fell to the ground.

"Your subordinate was disrespectful to me, it’s only right for me to kill him. But he’s your subordinate after all, I’m half in the wrong."

"Hey, these treasures are my brother’s private collection, they’re the real deal"

"Take it as a compensation for his life."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he returned to the table and straightened the table. He poured himself another glass of wine and slowly drank it.

The silver-haired man looked at the treasures on the ground.

Even those who didn’t know the value of the items could tell that these were indeed good treasures.

Each of them was good stuff that only the Lord of Nightmares had the right to collect.

But the other party took them out so casually.

In fact ...

Wu’s life wasn’t worth so much.

The other party took out so many treasures to make up for the loss of his face.

After all, the boss of any organization had to maintain his reputation.

If he couldn’t even maintain his reputation, how could he command his subordinates?

These treasures were worth dozens of Wu’s lives.

As expected of the younger brother of the Lord of Nightmares, although he was domineering, he knew how to care about others’ reputation and wouldn’t offend others.

Taking a step back, if he went all out, he could definitely kill him, but ...

Was it worth it for a dead lackey?

If he offended this Starved Ghost, unless he never left the dream world, he would be hunted down by the Lord of Nightmares.

If that wasn’t courting death, what was?

The silver-haired man figured out the key point in a breath’s time, he waved his hand and kept all the treasures. He laughed and said,

"This guy just killed six of our brothers and came crying to me about women. He even offended you, he’s a disgrace to our team. Even if you didn’t kill him, I would’ve done it."

Liu Ping laughed as well.

Very good, this boss was smart and tactful.

He personally poured a glass of wine for the other party and said sincerely, "I was impulsive just now, I’m sorry. Come, let me give you a toast, then punish myself with three cups."
