Chapter 239 Gambling
The carriage moved forward on the road.

Several thieves were riding horses, with guards on the left and right.

The thief who used to be a coachman was on the carriage, whipping the horse with great pride.

——Liu Ping released another mission.

This task is very simple, just take him to the village of Mir.

He wants to see his territory.

For the thieves, the boss was so generous and the mission he released was so simple, it was really what they wished for.

Since the boss is grand.

——These people have to serve their lives well, don’t they?

"My lord, turn around the detour ahead, we will be there soon." The coachman said loudly.

"Oh, I see."

Sitting in the carriage, Liu Ping flicked the box of gems and gold coins back and forth boredly, then opened the card book and looked at a few friends.

Yana sat on the desk by the fountain, looking at a book seriously.

Zhao Chanyi was immersed in the practice of magic and sword skills.

This time she tried her best and was unable to hurt the prisoner, which was very exciting.

Lord of Demons—

It seems to be sleeping, and it seems to be in a coma.

A thief's voice came from outside the carriage:

"My lord, what are you doing in Mir Village?"

"Go and have a look - what's the matter?" Liu Ping answered.

"It doesn't seem to be peaceful there recently," said the thief.

"Look at what you said," another thief laughed. "Nobles can never stop, unlike us scumbags."

"Everyone, that—what kind of unfairness is it?" Liu Ping asked hastily.

Several thieves looked at each other.

"My lord, you are not a professional in our neighborhood." The coachman asked.

"Of course not, I'm from York City." Liu Ping said.

"No wonder." The thieves were relieved.

"The Baron of Mill Village seems to have offended Lord Viscount, and he has been suppressed recently. There have been many incidents in his village," said a thief.

"Oh……"

Liu Ping glanced at the box full of gold coins and gems beside him.

The viscount is dissatisfied with the former baron, so I don't care.

At worst, I'll go and give him a gift to get closer.

In the future, promotion will depend on others——

But why is there always a bad feeling?
"Stop!" Liu Ping shouted immediately.

The carriage quickly braked and stopped.

"What's the matter, my lord?" A thief asked in surprise.

"Turn back, turn around, let's go!" Liu Ping said.

Just kidding, I just came here to find sequence cards, not to top the tank.

It's best not to run into any danger at all.

"But we have arrived, my lord," said the thief from outside.

suddenly.

Everything around became silent.

A sharp whistling sound came.

Liu Ping's expression changed, he smashed through the car door, and flew out quickly.

boom! ! !
The fire soared into the sky.

The carriage was blown to pieces by a ball of fire, and rolled in the air and landed in the bushes beside it.

Several thieves had no time to react, and they were killed together with their horses.

In the sky above the road ahead, a giant floating eyeball appeared.

Below the eyeballs stood a man wearing a gray low-brimmed hat.

He stared at Liu Ping, and said lightly:
"Lord Baron, I have been ordered to complete your examination."

"Wait," Liu Ping said, "Today is my first day as a baron. I don't know you at all, and I have no grudges against you. Why do you block my way?"

The man listened, looked at him carefully, and said in surprise: "It's really changed, what should I do?"

He looked up at the giant eyeball in the sky.

A voice came from the eyeball:
"Oh, no matter, our bet today has already started - 36 high-ranking nobles have opened the eyes of Qige, watching this fight, everyone's bets have already been placed, how can they give up halfway? "

After hearing this, the man took off his hat and saluted Liu Ping.

"Did you hear that? Lord Viscount said that today's school exam is imperative."

Liu Ping looked at the eyeball in the sky.

I saw two lines of burning small characters appearing next to the eyeballs:
"The Eye of Chigger."

"This is one of the 36 strange eyes. It can communicate with each other from a long distance and observe the current situation together."

He looked at the man again.

There is also a line of small characters on the man's head:
"Card master, level 15."

This is no way.

It seems that I have to bear this incident for the previous Baron.

"But I don't know what the school exam is?" Liu Ping asked.

"Let's see how many moves you can take before I kill you," the man said.

"Do you have to kill me?" Liu Ping asked.

"No way, Lord Viscount invested a lot of money tonight, and I hope Lord Viscount can win more." The man regretted.

A red card book appeared in his hand.

Liu Ping said mockingly: "Everyone is aristocrat, does the viscount just kill the baron so casually?"

"I'm sorry, the baron is the Viscount's dog." The man said.

Liu Ping drew out his knife.

——The voices of Yana and Zhao Chanyi rang in his ears at the same time:

"let me!"

Liu Ping shook his head and said: "... Those nobles are watching. God knows what level they are and what methods they have. I will never expose you unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Are you sure?" Yana asked.

"I haven't played against other card masters for a long time, give it a try." Liu Ping said.

"Kill that arrogant guy." Zhao Chanyi said.

opposite.

The man took out the lighter and lit a pipe: "From now on, I'm going to take your life, Lord Baron, I hope you don't die too soon."

His card book opened, and a card flew out.

The card turned into a flash of red light, quickly passed through the sky, and hit Liu Ping head-on.

So fast!

Liu Ping's pupils shrank suddenly, and he raised the long knife in his hand.

Endless and complex sword lights suddenly appeared in the void, completely sealing off the surrounding area.

Cut it off!
The red light collided with the wall-like blade light, and immediately bounced back, hovering in mid-air.

—but it was a falcon covered in flames.

"Ah, the baron is still a bit capable."

The man turned the lighter again to let the flame come out——

Bang!
Another card flew out of the card book, turning into dense fireballs in the air, spreading all over the place.

In the sky, the Viscount shouted excitedly:

"died!"

woohoo hoohoo-

The fireballs hit Liu Ping overwhelmingly.

Liu Ping shook his head, holding the long knife in his backhand, and rushed towards those fireballs.

After two consecutive upgrades from level 8, all his attributes have increased a bit, both in terms of strength and reaction, are much stronger than before.

I saw his figure like an afterimage, dodging and moving among the many fireballs.

Although those fireballs were ferocious, none of them could hit him.

In the card book, Yana nodded and said: "In terms of individual combat ability, Liu Ping is still very reassuring."

"What do you know? You don't know him at all," Zhao Chanyi said disdainfully, "He had never been defeated back then, and he came to this completely strange world just because of you, so he had to start from scratch."

Yana was a little angry at first, but gradually fell silent after hearing this.

Moment.

Liu Ping had passed through the dense fireball and met the kestrel.

"Don't make trouble."

With a low snort, he pulled out his shield and threw it at the Fire Falcon, but with his backhand he slashed across the air at the opposite card master.

Chunfeng cut!
But I saw a blade of light shooting up from the ground into the sky, hitting the card master hard.

The card master was caught off guard, and quickly turned on the lighter——

A layer of spherical flames emerged from his body, protecting him.

But the impact of the sword light was still too strong, and it directly chopped the card master into the air.

"it is good."

Liu Ping's eyes lit up, the long knife in his hand became invisible, and he cut it in the void countless times.

Dang Dang Dang Dang!
The spherical flame on the card master's body was hit continuously, and it was about to shatter——

Liu Ping hesitated for a moment.

The third move of Chunfeng Zhan uses the halo, directly using the knife to pass through the space and slash at the opponent.

——As soon as the halo appeared, it exposed one's profession.

He simply held the knife in his arms and jumped high.

The card master on the opposite side shouted: "Firefalcon!"

The bird was hit by the shield, turned around in the air, and went straight behind Liu Ping.

This blow forced Liu Ping to fight back to save himself.

If he fights back, the card master will have a little more chance to breathe.

But how could Liu Ping not know the other party's intention?

"Want to draw cards?"

His eyes sharpened, and the long knife in his hand suddenly disappeared.

In the endless dark night, a dazzling arc-shaped light suddenly bloomed, hovering in mid-air, and lingered for a long time.

Liu Ping floated to the ground.

The kestrel let out a scream, scattered into dots of fire, and disappeared into the night sky.

The card master then landed.

He looked at the shattered lighter in his hand, and praised: "I have never seen someone who can use the knife technique to your situation, not only killed my firefalcon, but also broke my lighter—"

"Every time you draw a card, you must turn the lighter." Liu Ping said.

"That's right, I have to release the flames before I can personalize the card." The card master admitted.

He smiled slightly, took out a brand new lighter from his pocket and said, "You almost succeeded, but unfortunately - I have a lot of lighters with me."

Liu Ping said: "I smashed your lighter just in case."

"What do you mean?" the card master asked.

"You're already dead. I'm afraid you won't be able to accept this fact for a while, so let's put out some cards that will die together." Liu Ping took a few steps back as he spoke.

The card master was stunned.

There was a line of blood on his neck.

Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief, and murmured: "The knife is too fast, and there are disadvantages. Fortunately, you are already too late."

bang——

The card master's head shot up into the sky, and blood sprayed several meters high from his neck.

Liu Ping slowly withdrew his knife, looked up at the giant eyeball in the sky.

Giant eyeballs were also looking down on him.

A series of slight voices of discussion came from the giant eyeballs.

"The game...failed..."

"All lost..."

"did not expect……"

Sudden.

The viscount's angry voice overwhelmed all the discussions, and sounded in the sky:
"Damn it, how dare you kill my card master..."

Liu Ping's legs were so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and he said repeatedly: "No, sir, didn't you secretly tell me that I must win?"

In the giant eyeball, all voices fell silent.

Liu Ping showed a look of panic, and said slowly: "Master Viscount, don't cross the river and tear down the bridge. I know that you have secretly invested a large sum of money, just to bet on me to win."

Dead silence.

The whole world fell silent.
