Infernal Artist

Each branch is covered with brightly colored spikes.

All the branches are entangled together like a cage, with a humanoid monster trapped inside.

When Liu Ping looked at it, it also discovered Liu Ping.

"Someone's coming - great, help me!"

The monster screamed loudly.

Liu Ping first looked at the tree, and then asked: "Who are you?"

The monster said: "I came from another divine pillar, and I was trapped here because of my carelessness."

It was covered with long hair, its hands and feet were like claws, its eyes were dark green, and it had a pointed beak. It was holding a dying yellow goat in its hand.

"Why are you holding that goat?" Liu Ping asked in confusion.

"This..." The monster hesitated, seeming reluctant to continue.

"Then I'm leaving." Liu Ping turned to leave.

"No! This goat is my portable pet! In fact, I have been trapped here for tens of thousands of years, and only with this goat can I survive." The monster said quickly.

Liu Ping paused and asked curiously: "Tens of thousands of years? How did a goat like you survive?"

The monster said helplessly: "I have a special ability to grab the fodder that the goat eats from the air, so it will not starve to death."

"I understand this, but what about you? How did you survive?" Liu Ping asked.

The monster said: "My goat could pull gold before, but it has been eating grass for tens of thousands of years, so it can only pull some food..."

Liu Ping was silent for a while.

The monster also lowered his head and fell into silence.

——In other words, the monster makes food for the goat to eat, and the goat eats and pulls out the food to feed the monster.

They depend on each other and live like this for tens of thousands of years.

It's too awful.

Liu Ping looked at the monster with sympathy and said, "Why don't you come out?"

"This branch is highly poisonous. If you touch the thorns on it, you will die. Moreover, it is alive and no attack can harm it. It is only afraid of one thing." The monster said,

"What?"

"Frost."

"What a coincidence, I happen to have mastered frost abilities."

"So as soon as I saw you, I couldn't help but want you to save me, that's it!"

Liu Ping thought for a moment.

No matter what, I need merit.

Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.

If you accumulate enough merit, you can create powerful sword skills that even nightmare monsters don't know!

As the tide of nightmares approaches, this is the most important thing!

"Okay, I'll save you." Liu Ping said.

"Thank you! Thank you, Your Excellency," the monster was overjoyed and said quickly: "If you want to rescue me, you just need to release enough frost to freeze the tree."

"Rabbit." Liu Ping greeted.

"Ah, okay, frost, right? It's a joke."

The rabbit responded and flew over, throwing frost around the tree.

Soon.

The whole tree was frozen.

The monster was so excited when he saw this that he quickly stood up and clawed at the cage made of branches with his claws.

Click!

The cage suddenly shattered.

At the same time, lines of burning small characters appeared in front of Liu Ping’s eyes:

"You released????."

"Your merit has been reduced by 30,000 points."

"Current merit count: -30000."

Liu Ping was startled.

That's not right, it's obviously to save people, why do you want to deduct my merit?

Could it be that this guy who was trapped——

Between the lightning and flint, two voices sounded at the same time.

"After eating shit for so long, I can finally eat human flesh today." The monster said.

"Ka!" Liu Ping said.

A moment.

A cold wind blows.

The monster suddenly appeared from behind Liu Ping.

It was covered in frost, and it just opened its claws and made a pounce. It looked like it was preparing to kill Liu Ping.

pity.

At the last moment, Liu Ping's aura worked.

The monster was frozen in place, transformed into an ice sculpture.

The sheep in its arms had already run far away, but it didn't dare to run too far. It hid behind a big rock and looked at the fight between the two with fear on its face.

"Ah ha, you saved it, but it wanted to kill you." The rabbit whistled.

"This is easy to handle."

Liu Ping turned around and faced the monster.

Just as I was deducted so many merit points from saving you, by the same token, I should also get merit points from killing you!

He put his hand on the handle of the knife, murderous intent rising.

——trembling chop!

The Baina knife made a roar, but was not pulled out.

Liu Ping took a deep breath and lowered his head helplessly.

This skill can only be used if the opponent moves.

The monster is now frozen into an ice sculpture——

So I can’t activate my moves even if I have them!

Liu Ping simply gave up his moves.

He held his long knife flat, slashed at the monster's neck, and said:

"Now, this isn't just any move, it's just a person who can do this."

when--

The long knife hit the frost and bounced back.

Baina Dao suddenly said: "The moment it was frozen, it used a defensive technique. You can't exert my power by cutting it like this. You can't even cut through the layer of frost that freezes it, let alone Talk about that layer of magic."

Liu Ping covered his forehead in pain.

The merit is right in front of you, but you can’t get it. Who understands the pain?

Sudden.

A voice sounded not far behind:

"Its left hand can automatically release various spells. The only thing it's afraid of is trees. It's not afraid of anything else. Just be careful."

But it was the goat.

Liu Ping looked down and saw that the monster's left hand was indeed emitting countless rays of light and was attacking the frost seal with all its strength.

"Well...it seems we don't have much time left..."

Liu Ping bent down to pick up a flat stone and placed it on the monster's shoulder.

"Come on, Rabbit, take a breath," he called.

The rabbit took a deep breath and blew at the stone with all his strength.

call--

A gust of cold wind blew by.

The stone shook.

It moved!

Swish——

Just listen to countless knife sounds mixed into one.

The thunder explodes like a lotus, and the sword energy explodes into the sky, which can destroy everything!

In the long night, a blade of light pierced the sky like a thunderbolt, and the void opened up, revealing endless mist.

Liu Ping stood there, the long knife in his hand shining like snow.

Although the sword struck just now was a stone, the aftermath also hit the monster.

It only affects——

All the blood, water, and even the monster's corpse were chopped into powder by this move and scattered in the wind over the vast wilderness.

The power of a sword is so powerful!

So this is a sword technique that is out of the set?

Liu Ping was secretly shocked.

Sequence actually calls such sword skills primary sword skills?

Rabbit gave a thumbs up and praised: "What a powerful move!"

Liu Ping looked into the void.

Lines of burning small characters floated:

"You unleashed the primary sword technique 'Trembling Slash'."

"You killed??????."

"With this kill, you have gained a lot of merit."

"After repaying the 30,000 points of merit you owe, your remaining merit is:"

"100 points."

What!

Why is it only 100 points!

In other words, that guy was originally worth 30,100 merit points?

Liu Ping only felt bitter in his mouth.

"Sequence, I would like to ask, how much merit do I need to create a primary skill for myself?"

"Creating the primary magic knife technique requires 100 points of merit." Sequence responded.

"The level categories of skills are: primary, secondary, high, fierce, king, saint?"

"Yes, only the secondary Strange Knife Technique can cause damage to the primary nightmare monster, please work hard."

"What about the advanced strange knife skills?" Liu Ping asked.

"It can cause damage to secondary nightmare monsters, and so on." Sequence said.

"So if I want to create a holy-level magic sword technique, how much merit will it take?" Liu Ping asked with interest.

"One hundred trillion merits."

"are you serious?"

"Come on, boy!"

"...Why so many?"

"Because it can kill king-level nightmare monsters."

"According to what you said, are there still holy-level nightmare monsters?"

"some."

"How to kill?"

"have no idea."

Liu Ping sheathed the knife, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly. It took him a while to calm down.

Stay calm, don't be confused, this is the beginning.

Whether it's a hundred trillion meritorious deeds or a saint-level nightmare monster, it's all a matter of the future.

I still have a long way to go.

After his emotions stabilized, Liu Ping turned his head and looked not far away.

Seeing that the battle was over, the goat came out from behind the stone and said hello:

"Hello."

"Hello, by the way, what is that monster?" Rabbit asked curiously.

"When the nightmare captured the divine pillar where it was located, it personally destroyed hundreds of worlds in order to seek refuge in the past. Unexpectedly, it killed too many souls, which made the nightmare monsters dissatisfied. After all, souls are their food - so it only has Run away quickly, hahaha, you are so stupid." Goat said.

"Then you are -" Liu Ping asked.

"I am a goat." The goat said seriously.

"..." Liu Ping.

"I'm still Rabbit. We're asking about your identity." Rabbit said.

"Oh, I'm from the Void Sheep Clan. I can pull all kinds of treasures. It originally wanted to make a fortune when it caught me, but it got trapped by that tree." The goat said.

"Trapped for tens of thousands of years?" Rabbit asked.

"Yes, thank you for rescuing me, otherwise he would have forced me to eat grass every day. It was too grassy and made me feel humiliated." The goat said gratefully.

"So...actually you can stop eating grass?" Liu Ping asked.

"I have always wanted to eat the branches of that tree - but that monster stuffs grass for me on time every day, and my appetite is limited, so I have never been able to eat any branches." The goat said.

Liu Ping and Rabbit turned back silently and looked towards the tree's branch cage.

That monster——

It's just too strict.

In fact, it can communicate well with the sheep and let the sheep eat the branches.

In this way, it would not have to be imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, let alone eat sheep shit every day.

This is done.

well.

Liu Ping withdrew his gaze and looked at the goat again.

kill? eat? put? Sell? bring?

How to deal with it?

Is this sheep good or bad?

He couldn't help but sigh.

Ever since merit became more important than ever, I was really hesitant.

If you save or kill the wrong target, tens of thousands of merit points will be deducted at once. Let alone accumulate enough merit creation skills, people will go crazy first.

At this moment.

Another line of small burning characters appeared quietly:

"Please don't be discouraged. After considering this sequence, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in your body can be used to generate a new version of 'Seeing and Hearing as Names', which can be used to judge the merits of the target."

"Are you going to take away the 'Peering into Heaven' and the 'Faces of Evil Ghosts'?" Liu Ping asked.

The hexagram technique originally exchanged "seeing and hearing are like names", so what can be exchanged for this time?

"Yes, these two abilities are generated by you, and you can use them to directly create a new and upgraded 'knowledge and knowledge'." Sequence said.

"Okay, take it, I don't want to kill people anymore to deduct merit." Liu Ping said.

"Please use 'create'." Sequence said.

"I used it!" Liu Ping said.

Only a line of burning small words appeared:

"Congratulations!"

"Your merit has been exhausted."

"You used two reincarnation powers to create a new merit version of strange abilities:"

"Seeing and hearing like a god."

"The names and explanations of all existence, good and evil, will be shown before your eyes without any flaw."

"——There is a god three feet above your head."
