Purgatory Artist-Chapter 283: No longer weak

Rumble rumble rumble — — -

The black mountains around the sacrificial battlefield began to move, disappearing from Liu Ping's sight one after another.

All the supernatural phenomena gradually faded away before disappearing completely.

Liu Ping returned to his original location.

Yana asked in shock: "What happened just now?"

Bam — —

A corpse fell from the void of space.

Temporal Card Master.

"How did he die!?" Libertas was surprised.

"It's very strange" Liu Ping explained, "He used some sort of sacrificial battle Card to force both him and me to fight with our own strength"

Everyone went silent.

Libertas sighed: "He had so many tricks up his sleeve, why did he have to seek his own death?"

Zhao Chanyi went forward and patted Liu Ping's shoulder. She said in a boastful tone, "Liu Ping is already a level 40 card user. If he only uses his individual strength to fight — with his fighting ability, I really can't think of anyone who can fight him."

Yana looked at Liu Ping and silently nodded.

Indeed, after obtaining enough Soul Points to fight, his strength had finally changed qualitatively.

Even this Temporal Card Master couldn't do anything to him.

— — -He was no longer weak!

In mid-air, a heavy card tome fell down.

Liu Ping caught it.

A line of burning text quickly appeared:

[You've won this sacrificial battle]

[You've obtained everything of the loser]

[Congratulations, you've obtained the Card Tome: Tome of Drifting Sand]

[This is a Time-type Card Tome, it has very high requirements for its user]

[— — -Only Time-type Card Masters can use it]

Time-type Card Masters ...

I don't have any Time-type Card Masters around me right now.

Let's put it away first.

As soon as Liu Ping put the Card Tome away, Hua Qingkong suddenly asked: "Are you sure it's a sacrificial battle technique?"

"I am" Liu Ping replied.

"Let's quickly leave this place as soon as possible" Hua Qingkong said with a serious expression.

"Why?" Norton asked.

Hua Qingkong answered: "You haven't experienced the glorious era of the Voidhumans, so you don't know as much about card techniques as I do — —"

"A sacrificial battle technique can only be used by a Card Masters who has mastered the sacrificial ability, but that Temporal Card User clearly doesn't have that ability."

Liu Ping said, "You're saying that there is someone else behind this guy?"

"Yes, Sacrifice is a very evil card ability. Even in my time, most people would not provoke such an existence" Hua Qingkong said.

"That makes sense. We're just rushing back to Mechanus. Why do we have to fight with this guy?" Yana said calmly.

Liu Ping nodded.

His main task now was to find the Holy Card Set so that he could return to the real world and find the scabbard of the Zhenyu Saber.

This was the only way to avoid the fate of death.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Temporal Card Master wanted to fight with him and even tried to steal his cards, he wouldn't have bothered to fight with him.

In other words ...

He was not a fool. Why should he stand here and wait for the people behind the scenes to come and take revenge?

"Let's go, let's continue our journey" Liu Ping said.

Everyone turned back into cards and returned to their card books to rest.

Yana hesitated.

"Why don't I fly with you?"

She asked.

Liu Ping shook his head and said, "No, although this part of the road is safe, who knows what's ahead? You can't die, but I can die many times over — — "

He looked at the runes in the void of space and muttered: "I've already added all the chances I got from leveling up into speed."

"Did you add levitation?" Yana asked with interest.

"No, it's the most basic agility and strength, it can increase movement speed and combat reflexes" Liu Ping answered.

"Well done, flying in Eternal Night is more or less dangerous. Running would give you more leeway to deal with danger" Yana said.

She turned back into a card and returned to her Card Tome.

Liu Ping put his Card Tome away and looked at the dark plains ahead, muttering: "As long as I run fast enough, I might be able to reach Mechanus a bit earlier ..."

Boom!

He started running like a blurred shadow, leaving a trail of dust behind him.

...

As Liu Ping left.

Underground.

Deep inside.

In a huge burial ground completely made of metal, there was a huge burial ground.

Several figures came from various places and gathered at the center of the tomb.

The leader was a tall man in black clothes.

He was wearing a black mask and asked: "How was it?"

Another person replied:

"We've basically finished exploring this floor, so we need to return and make preparations. We need to gather all the materials and Cards before we can enter the next floor."

The man in the black mask spoke: "Very well, then this time's mission — —"

All of a sudden.

He went silent.

Complete silence.

Everyone became cautious and took out their tomes, preparing to defend themselves.

"It's nothing ... it's actually outside. The Lookout used up the sacrificial battle card I gave him" the man said.

"If I remember correctly, we've already cleaned up all the hibernators in this area" a man in a fox mask said.

"What kind of existence could actually force him to this extent?"

Another man in a white wolf mask asked.

"— — -Strange indeed, the Lookout is quite capable, I want to see who could force him to this point" the man in the black mask said.

The man in the fox mask took out a card and shouted: "Go!"

He threw the card out.

It turned into a white light that enveloped everyone and instantly disappeared from this dark underground burial ground.

On the ground.

Six figures appeared at once.

"He's dead — — -"

A man in a greyhound mask mocked: "Even the Book of Drifting Sand was taken away, what a waste of such a powerful Card Tome."

These people slowly approached the corpse of the Temporal Card Master and stood still.

"Ah, I have a question" the man in the greyhound mask asked.

"What is it?" someone else followed up.

"Is there a Profession that — — - requires you to shit in order to make a card your specialty?" he continued to ask.

"... What? Why do you have to ask such a question?"

"Because when he was about to die, he seemed to have shit himself"

"Is that so? Let me check."

— — bam!

A card was thrown out.

A layer of white fog appeared around the corpse, manifesting the appearance of a bottle of holy water.

The man in the greyhound mask was surprised:

"What, and you said he had a hidden Profession, so he was only poisoned by holy water."

At this point, a foul stench came from the corpse on the ground.

Everyone silently took a few steps back, then retreated a bit further.

The white wolf sighed: "He had only just joined the group, and even had the Captain's sacrificial battle card to use, but he died on his first mission, what a noob."

"His card tome was indeed quite impressive, but his personality was a bit lacking, and he even tried to get close to me," the woman in the starry mask coldly scoffed.

She thought for a bit, then asked:

"Captain, he was probably killed by a Card Master of the Divine faction, what do we do now?"

Everyone went silent and silently looked at the man in the black mask.

He stayed silent for a bit, then spoke:

"... As far as I know, the people of the Divine faction are all extremely shameless, unscrupulous, and cunning, but they have two strong points."

"The first strong point: They don't actively cause trouble, and prefer peace over everything else."

"Let's take a look at what happened earlier."

"If it was someone from the Divine faction who killed him, we will avenge him, regardless of who they are or what kind of status they have, we will not rest until one of us is dead."

"Yes" the woman in the starry mask replied.

She threw out a card and muttered: "Starry Reflection!"

A flash appeared in the void of space.

Countless illusory stars floated in the darkness, illuminating this area.

Gradually, several figures appeared from the light.

The evil creature and Liu Ping.

They followed the path until they reached the place where the Temporal Card Master was taking a break.

The Temporal Card Master stood on top of the bone dragon's head and spoke: "You have intruded into my territory, as long as you pay a certain fee, you will be able to leave safely."

When everyone saw this scene, a fierce murderous aura erupted from their bodies.

The man in the grey dog mask shouted: "Boss, he didn't follow the rules, we clearly told him to take a break, yet he's robbing here."

The man in the white wolf mask spoke: "Damn it, we've been very careful with every step we take down here, yet he's robbing and even fighting. If he caused too much commotion and triggered the traps below, we'd be the ones to die."

The man in the black mask said nothing.

It wasn't until all the scenes had ended and the Temporal Card Master had turned into a corpse that he spoke:

"Originally, he was allowed to join us because he obtained an extremely rare Temporal Card Tome... but he didn't listen to orders during the operation ..."

"I'm not going to avenge him" the woman in the Star Mask replied.

The leader nodded and spoke: "As I said earlier, the people of the Divine faction have two advantages, the first is that they don't actively cause trouble, as for the second ..."

He raised a finger and spoke: "When they're your enemy, you'll feel extreme disgust, but there's a way to make you like them right away."

"What way?" the woman in the Star Mask asked.

"Make them your comrades" the leader replied.

Everyone went silent.

"That's right, the Divine faction is the strongest when it comes to healing" the man in the grey hound mask spoke.

"I've had a few interactions with them before — —"

A man in the tiger mask spoke: "They're extremely cunning, you have to be extremely careful when you're their enemy, but you'll feel assured when you're their comrade"

"Being able to get rid of a Time Card Master has already proven his worth, he's worthy of being accepted into our group" the white wolf said.

The leader turned to the tiger.

"To explore this burial ground, we do need people who can heal and dispel curses, if they can also be on par with him in terms of combat — —"

The tiger kicked the corpse on the ground and spoke: "I agree to accept him into the group"

Now, only the woman in the Star Mask remained.

She didn't look at the group and instead gazed into the distance:

"His running speed is extremely fast. Leader, if you have any ideas, you'll have to act right away, otherwise, even I might lose track of him"

"Running? Why would he run? "the grey dog was surprised.

"Running after a fight, that's the style of the Divine faction" the woman replied.

Everyone turned to the leader.

"Very well, we'll go find him right away"

The leader declared.
