Purgatory Artist-Chapter 457: Fear

Dead silence.

Not even a whisper.

Liu Ping closed his eyes and stood in the darkness, silently sensing something.

"30 people ... killing them directly will only attract the others, you guys go first."

He said to his feet.

The dozens of heads at his feet replied in a low voice: "Please don't worry, master."

They rolled into the darkness and soon disappeared into the distance, never to be seen again.

A few moments later.

A small group of 30 people was quickly moving forward in the darkness.

They were only about 80m away from Liu Ping, but they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Liu Ping waited for a few moments.

It wasn't until the group passed by him that he stepped forward and caught up with the last person in the group.

These people were whispering to each other as they searched.

One of them spoke: "Gongzi wants to search for traces of the two Nightmare Wraiths, but we can't see anything here, we can't even hear their footsteps, how are we supposed to find them?"

Another person said: "That's right, I can only see things within 1 meter, you won't be able to see them if you walk a bit further"

A third person said: "But it's fine, they're only two people, and we have 30 people"

"As soon as we find them, we'll attack"

Several people echoed in agreement.

"We'll probably kill them as soon as we see them"

"That's right"

"Haha, this mission is actually quite simple, a few thousand of us will surround and kill two of them, isn't it?"

Liu Ping followed behind the team and listened attentively with his ears open.

A few moments later.

He put his hand on his throat and squeezed, his mouth silently moving.

The captain said: "Stop talking nonsense, be careful! If anything happens, report to me immediately! "

"Yes sir!" everyone replied in unison.

They quickly walked past a small path.

Suddenly.

The captain waved his hand: "Stop!"

Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked in the direction the captain was looking at.

At the feet of the person at the front of the group, a human head was lying there.

Whose head is this?

Why is there a dead head here?

"It seems to be a soul that the young man used a Cultivation-type spell to capture, but it seems like there's no soul inside"

The captain crouched down and carefully examined the head.

"What an evil spell"

"What should we do? Should we report this to gongzi? "

"Gongzi only said to find those two, not the head. If you bring this head to him, he'll only get angry"

Everyone was hesitant.

The squad leader was also somewhat hesitant.

If this matter was reported, Young Master would definitely not be happy.

If he didn't report it, he would have really encountered it.

What to do?

He said, "Stay alert and pay attention to your surroundings. Is there anything else?"

Someone on the periphery replied, "There's nothing going on."

The squad leader nodded and finally made his decision.

"There's no need to report. Let's move on."

"Yes!"

Someone replied.

The captain stood up and was about to follow the team.

He suddenly realized that there was no one around.

He was the only one left in the dark.

"Where are you guys?"

The squad leader drew his weapon and shouted.

"Captain, it's getting harder to see our surroundings. We're in front of you," someone said.

"That's right, Captain. You're really slow. We've already started moving, but you're still looking at that head," someone else said.

"Forget it. Don't worry about the captain. Let's make a move first." Another giggling voice sounded.

They were all colleagues.

In addition to these three people, there were seven or eight whispers in the darkness.

These sounds.

They were all the voices of his colleagues!

The squad leader heaved a sigh of relief. He let go of his weapon and scolded, "Why are you running so fast?!"

He strode into the darkness ahead.

After that.

A sharp pain came from his neck.

The world was plunged into true darkness.

...

Time slowly passed.

The man with slicked-back hair asked: "You still haven't found him?"

Not too far behind him, a martial artist reported: "According to the reports from the various squads, we only found a few heads, but we still haven't found the two Nightmare Wraiths"

"What the hell, is he going to hide in this world forever?" the man anxiously asked.

"Gongzi, one of the squad leaders is injured and needs to return for treatment" the martial artist reported again.

"Come back, just stay outside the defensive formation, don't come in" the man said.

"Yes!"

The martial artist replied and left.

The man hovered in the air, picked up the polygonal goblet and took a sip of wine.

No matter what.

I have several thousand people under my command.

And this goblet.

It's a very powerful defensive tool.

Under these circumstances, I don't have to worry about defense.

And that young man has no other choice but to hide in the dark.

There's only one thing I need to do.

Find him!

Other than that, this matter has already caused quite a bit of commotion.

After killing that brat and Chu Yunshang, I'm going to examine their corpses in front of everyone and prove that they have the power of nightmares.

That way, no one will blame me for stealing a woman.

Everyone will only praise me for my sharp eyes, being able to find the Nightmare Wraiths hiding in the human world so quickly, then using a plan to lure them out of the city and kill them in the no man's land.

Everyone will praise me for my deeds.

Tch.

The people will always be ignorant, manipulable, and clueless mobs.

It can't be helped.

As a person of the upper class, I have a lot of ways to get what I want.

Even if I can't get it, I can easily destroy it.

There won't be any repercussions.

In fact, I can even become a hero in their hearts.

The man silently thought, picked up the goblet and took another sip, feeling quite carefree.

A few more breaths later.

He suddenly noticed that something wasn't right.

In this world, he can only see things within a 1-meter radius.

And yet.

The martial artists guarding this place haven't made a sound for a long time.

"Zhao Fang?" he called out.

A voice came from not too far away: "Gongzi, your subordinate is here"

The man called out again: "Wang Lun, Liu Chao, Zhang Yuan, where are you?"

"Gongzi, your subordinate is here"

"I'm here as well"

"Always here, gongzi"

Three voices came one after another.

The man went silent for a moment, then asked: "Why didn't you answer me at the same time?"

"Gongzi! We're here! "

Three voices came at once.

The man's expression became even more serious, shouting in a low voice: "Come out and stand in front of me"

"Yes, gongzi!"

The three voices came in unison, sounding very reassuring.

In the darkness.

Three heads silently appeared.

They were his three subordinates.

They appeared to be filled with killing intent, their expressions full of caution, constantly paying attention to their surroundings.

Seeing them, the man with slicked-back hair couldn't help but feel a chill.

Because these three only had heads, not bodies!

He couldn't help but grip the goblet tightly, took a few steps back and shouted:

"Damn it, get the hell out here!"

As soon as he said that.

From the darkness, a faint halo silently appeared, illuminating the void of space around them.

The young man was standing in the air, wielding a Blade in his hand as a faint halo appeared above his head.

From the void of space, countless shadows manifested out of thin air to form a cloak that draped over his shoulders.

A rabbit sat on his shoulder and roared at the sky:

"What are you looking at! This light is for combat, don't absorb it, scram! "

Something large seemed to move from the darkness, then slowly left the young man's head.

The man with slicked-back hair was stunned.

"Who ... exactly are you?" he couldn't help but ask.

"A Nightmare Wraith" Liu Ping lazily answered.

Suddenly.

The faint halo above his head lit up for a bit.

Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[You've used your Profession: Nightmare Walker]

[You've successfully caused your target to feel fear]

[Nightmare Ritual activated!]

[You may draw a random card or item from the target's body, turning it into an evil shadow that you can control]

Liu Ping reached his hand out and lightly pulled something from the void of space.

A long leather whip with barbs, torn flesh, and black bloodstains was whipped out by him.

"You"

The man angrily shouted and tried to pull the whip from his waist.

Sure enough, the whip was gone!

Liu Ping played with the whip in his hand: "Among the people I know, it's usually the women who use whips, you're the first man to use a whip"

With a flip of his hand, the whip disappeared.

"That's impossible ... I have countless defensive measures on me, how did you steal my whip?" the man asked in a low voice.

"We can indeed talk for a bit." Liu Ping also put the Blade back into his waist and continued: "Before I get that polygonal goblet in your hand, we can talk for a bit longer."

The man suddenly put his hand into his pocket, wanting to press the button to summon the Source of Pollution.

"Ah, you can't do that here, definitely not"

Liu Ping waved his finger.

Another line of burning text quickly appeared in front of his eyes:

[You've unleashed Occult Acting Skills: Super Popular Actor.]

[When you berate the other party, the corresponding Occultism power on the other party will be sealed away until you remove the seal]

[Detected that the other party does not have the true power of Occultism.]

[Therefore, you directly forbade him from doing something.]

All the small characters were retracted.

Liu Ping looked at the man opposite him quietly.

The man's hand was already on the button, but he found that he couldn't press it no matter what.

His body was rejecting it.

The button seemed to have come alive, and it even moved a little to the side, obviously not allowing him to press it.

The man froze in place, and a layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

"This ... this world ... how could there be such a thing ..."

He muttered in disbelief.

"It's simple. It's because I'm a Nightmare Wraith," Liu Ping said.

The dim halo above his head lit up again.

"Ah, I have received your fear."

Liu Ping gladly stretched out his hand and pulled forcefully in the void.

He grabbed a button.

Lines of burning text immediately appeared:

[Detected a primal sequence link]

[If you hand this button over, the Sequence will attempt to analyze it and provide you with relevant information later on]

Liu Ping threw the button behind himself.

The button instantly disappeared.

"Unfortunately, we have to talk for a bit longer, because my luck wasn't very good and I still couldn't draw that goblet."

Liu Ping sighed and said.

The man with slicked-back hair silently retreated and asked: "Where are my subordinates? You definitely couldn't have killed them all, how did you arrive in front of me? "

Liu Ping clapped his hands.

A small flame appeared from the tip of his finger, illuminating the void of space.

Several thousand heads silently hovered in the void of space.

These heads were tightly packed together, not saying a single word as they stared straight at the man.

The man's forehead was still sweating profusely.

"No one would be able to do that" he blankly muttered: "Nightmare Wraith... you really are a Nightmare Wraith..."

"My apologies, I'm still a bit far from reaching the Ten Thousand Soul Banner."

Liu Ping said apologetically.

As soon as he said that, the dim halo above his head lit up again.

"That's right, you're feeling fear again, which gave me another chance. Let's see how lucky I am this time"

Saying so, Liu Ping reached his hand into the void of space.

Instantly.

The goblet in the man's hand disappeared.

It disappeared into thin air and appeared in Liu Ping's hand.

"Whoa! We got it! "the rabbit exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Ping smiled unexpectedly and said, "I wanted to play a bit more, but it seems like there's no need for that."

He looked at the man in front of him.

Above his head, the halo that represented fear and nightmares lit up once again, and maintained its dazzling light all the while.

Too much fear, allowing it to light up the entire world.

"What are you afraid of? When you took Chu Yun Shang, I remember you were quite confident ... relax a bit, I won't let you die so quickly."

Liu Ping spoke softly.

At this point, the rabbit whispered something into his ear.

Liu Ping nodded: "That's good, let's go out and meet everyone."

All of his attire disappeared.

Seeing that, the rabbit raised its furry paw and clapped its fingers.

All of the darkness immediately retreated.

In an instant, the entire Dark Purgatory disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

Bushes, distant mountains, firmament, night sky

The scenery of the World of Ten Thousand Realms appeared.

Light and shadow flashed.

Liu Ping and the man reappeared on the ground.

This land, from the sky to the ground, was already packed with people.

The closest were three Masters.

In the sky, there were various powerful warriors, gathered according to their respective areas of influence.

There were people everywhere.

When Liu Ping and the man appeared, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

However, when they saw the thousands of heads on Liu Ping's back, their expressions turned solemn again.

"Everyone!"

Liu Ping said loudly, "You came at the right time, I'm about to determine the winner with him, I hope everyone can witness this duel."

Opposite him.

The man with slicked-back hair roared wildly at the people around him: "Everyone, quickly attack! He's a nightmare Wraith! "

"This guy is a real nightmare Wraith!"

"Kill! Everyone, attack! Kill him! He's a terrifying guy! "

Everyone looked at the man's incoherent manner and couldn't help but look at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping stood still and said loudly to everyone: "I can accept the strictest test, I'm a genuine human, definitely not contaminated in any way."

The Earth Burial had long sealed the emerging power of contamination.

Now that everyone was watching, no one could slander him anymore!

A few Martial Masters with powerful auras landed on the ground. After a careful inspection, they shouted to the crowd:

"We've already checked, this young man is a normal human!"

There was a commotion.

Everyone present could see that the young man was indeed a normal human.

But why did the young master of the Glory Family insist that he was a nightmare Wraith?

Amidst everyone's confusion.

Liu Ping spread his hands at the man opposite him and smiled:

"What should we do? It seems like no one believes you. "

The man felt the killing intent on him and looked at the thousands of heads behind him, his expression kept changing, and finally gradually became crazy.

"Nightmare Wraith..."

"Everyone, he's really a nightmare Wraith, why don't you believe me!"

"I don't want to fight with him! Save me! "
