Chapter 193 Evil God's Transaction
The voice fell silent.

After a while, it said irritably: "No, I would rather kill that human and take his soul than trade the 'Flawless Dragon's Spine' to you."

Liu Ping laughed, shook his head and said, "Let's have a frank exchange, what are your concerns?"

The voice does not speak.

Liu Ping said: "Then let me guess. First of all, you have always emphasized the importance of the soul. It can be seen that what you need is the soul."

"Go on," said the voice.

"Secondly, you don't want to see our gods have a powerful helper from the dragon clan. After all, in the eternal night, no one wants a guy who knows his existence to become stronger and stronger." Liu Ping said.

The voice praised: "What a clever guy, no wonder your gods sent you to carry out secret transactions."

"Is there any other reason?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's almost like this. I don't want your gods to be too powerful. After all, we are only a temporary cooperative relationship, and no one knows how it will behave in the future." The voice said with a hint of guard.

Liu Ping laughed and said, "I can settle this concern for you."

"You? Settle it?" the voice said.

"People often say that when you and your business partner achieve a win-win situation, it will increase your trust in each other." Liu Ping said.

"How?" asked the voice.

"Let me make a bold guess that the soul is very important to you. If you can obtain the soul, it will be beneficial for you to gain more power." Liu Ping said.

"Of course!" said the voice.

"And our god wants to gain the allegiance of a dragon - I don't want to hide this from you, after all, you have already guessed it." Liu Ping said.

"That's right, the 'flawless dragon's spine' is precious, but only dragons can use it. Your gods must only have this purpose." The voice said.

Liu Ping clapped his hands and said, "It's done."

"What do you mean?" the voice asked.

Liu Ping said: "In addition to the treasures just now, I will pay you some souls to offset your worries."

The voice let out several heavy panting sounds, and couldn't wait to say:
"Soul—I get the soul, and your gods get the 'flawless dragon's spine'?"

"Totally correct, this is a perfect win-win situation!" Liu Ping said.

He turned his head and glanced over the believers of the evil gods.

one, two, three...

There are fifteen in total.

— Fifteen souls.

"So, how many souls is your master willing to give?" the voice asked.

"Four." Liu Ping said.

"No! The power of devouring four souls is nothing compared to your master getting the allegiance of a dragon! It's not fair!" said the voice.

"How many do you want?" Liu Ping asked.

"Thirteen! At least thirteen!" said the voice.

Liu Ping looked embarrassed, walking back and forth in the snow, as if lost in thought.

after awhile.

The voice couldn't help but said: "If your master really wants the 'flawless dragon's spine', he will give me thirteen souls! I only want the soul, and nothing else!"

Liu Ping stopped in his tracks suddenly, and said: "You may have noticed that for this transaction, my master has prepared a total of fifteen souls, and I am its representative, coming to complete this transaction with you. "

The voice said: "I can see that there are fifteen souls behind you—"

"Listen," Liu Ping interrupted, "If you choose to have souls, I can give you all fifteen souls, but you have to return [-]% of the treasures you just paid for!"

The voice shouted: "Five percent! You cunning guy, why don't you go snatch it!"

Liu Ping shouted: "You said that you would rather just have a soul!"

The voice suddenly rose and said: "But that is a huge fortune, you can't go back half of it all at once!"

"Forty and a half! I only get back forty and a half, and the remaining fifty and a half and fifteen souls in exchange for a 'flawless dragon spine'!" Liu Ping said.

"I'll give you [-]% at most!" said the voice.

"Forty percent!" Liu Ping said.

"Thirty and a half!" the voice insisted.

"Forty percent, it's fine if you don't agree, I'll take all these souls back, and we can buy Dragon's Back from other people!" Liu Ping turned around and was about to walk back.

"Deal! Don't leave - [-]% for [-]%!" the voice shouted from behind.

Only then did Liu Ping stop in his tracks.

"How do you want to collect the soul?" he asked.

"Just put them on my rune array." The voice said.

Liu Ping casually threw out a card.

Bang!
Andrea appeared quietly, and said softly, "Lie down!"

An inexplicable power emanated from her——

The fifteen believers suddenly felt numb in their hands and feet, became dizzy, and collapsed on the ground.

Longwei!

As a dragon of level 40, her strength is 10 levels higher than that of the demon king Zhao Chanyi, so how could these believers be able to resist?

Andrea beckoned.

The believers had no power to fight back, and were directly stacked on the rune circle.

The voice suddenly said: "Are you not afraid that I will take these souls away and not give you the 'flawless dragon's back'?"

Liu Ping showed a relaxed look, and said with a smile: "Our gods are about to take down the entire human kingdom, and there will be as many souls as there are souls, I guess—"

"There are more opportunities for cooperation between you and us, as well as broader common interests. There is no need to ruin the huge business in the future for just fifteen souls."

"or--"

His voice became playful: "The only thought in your mind is to fight my gods and offend the dragon clan beside me who is destined to reach the pinnacle?"

The voice fell.

Andrea looked at the rhombus-shaped rune array in a timely manner, and said softly: "I roughly sensed the fluctuations on it..."

She didn't continue talking.

Liu Ping gave her a look of approval.

It is true that even if the other party ran away, I had no loss, and I killed fifteen believers of the evil god in one fell swoop, preventing their assassination——

But if you can find a "flawless dragon spine" for Andrea, why not do it?

The voice was silent for a few breaths.

"What's your name, boy?" it asked.

"Qian Zhouwen, I have a younger brother named Qian Zhouwu, and we serve the gods together," Liu Ping said.

"You don't seem to care about the fate of those companions at all?" it tentatively asked.

"I am only loyal to the gods, and they are the same. Therefore, it is their due destiny to sacrifice their souls for the gods. I guess they are all happy about it."

Liu Ping said in a soft tone, as if he was talking about a matter of course.

The voice was silent for a few more breaths, and then murmured in a low voice:

"...the devil is more ferocious than the man...but the man is crazier than the devil."

"Thank you for the compliment. The fifteen souls are the same as me. Although the division of labor is different, they are all doing their best for the master. This is what we should do." Liu Ping said.

The voice sighed: "It seems that I will also find a few subordinates like you to handle things like the Nine Wings Fallen God - I look forward to continuing to cooperate with you in the future."

A ray of light emerged from the diamond-shaped magic circle.

A card appeared out of thin air and displayed in front of Liu Ping.

On the card was a long, crystal-clear spine, which was huge and sunk in a deep blue sea.

Liu Ping caught the card.

Lines of burning small characters quickly appeared:
"The Flawless Dragon Back."

"This is the unique dragon spine. Only the most pure and noble dragons will leave such a spine when their souls dissipate. It proves that the whole process of its existence is noble and flawless."

"—the most sacred thing of the Dragon Clan."

Here it is!
Liu Ping kept his breathing steady, and was about to put the cards away, but saw another card approaching.

This card is packed full of treasures of all kinds.

It is the huge wealth brought by the previous fifteen believers——

In exchange for a shot from this existence.

But now, this shot no longer exists, and has turned into a flawless dragon's spine, and [-]% of it.

"This is [-]% of the items just now. Now that I have given you the dragon spine and the treasure, let's make a deal now?" the voice said.

"Deal." Liu Ping nodded.

In an instant, fifteen believers of the evil god wailed in unison.

Their figures turned into black shadows, dodging crazily in a bewildering posture, but they couldn't get out of the diamond-shaped magic circle no matter what.

In the magic circle, a huge tongue full of vertical pupils stretched out, and with a light lick, all souls were glued to the surface of the tongue.

No matter how hard the souls struggle, they cannot escape from the giant tongue.

The vertical pupils on the giant tongue turned one after another, looking at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping showed a gentle smile, and nodded to those vertical pupils——

Looking at his expression, it seems that he is enjoying an elegant and wonderful performance.

under his watch.

The giant tongue retracted into the magic circle at a slow speed.

Liu Ping didn't collect the two cards until the other party disappeared, and saluted the magic circle:

"This transaction has been completed. I wish you and my master a win-win cooperation and create a brilliant career together."

The voice said: "Go, I look forward to you taking down that human kingdom, I wish you success."

"Thank you for your blessing - I will bring your blessing to my god."

Liu Ping saluted again.

He brought over the white cloth that had previously covered the magic circle, and put it back on the magic circle.

Snowflakes kept falling.

The sky was full of snow, and the north wind was howling, everything was covered by the wind and snow.

Liu Ping took Andrea and slowly left the leeward forest.
