Chapter 272 Rescue
"Libertas, you have no idea how terrifying this evil thing is..."

As Yana said, she took out a book that exudes a golden glow, picked out a card and threw it out.

Bang!
The card turned into a ball of light and landed on Liu Ping.

A few lines of fine print came out:
"You have the final blessing of the paladin."

"Those surrounded by this blessing will not be attacked and polluted by evil things."

"——This is the most powerful skill of a paladin. It doesn't have much power, but it can keep your soul pure."

Liu Ping looked across.

I saw the dead soul doll floating in the air, and cursed viciously: "Damn it, it's a paladin!"

"We paladins never kill people, we always keep holy, just to compete with you." Yana said.

"Compete with us?"

There was an inexplicable smile on the dead soul baby's face, and said:
"—Prepare for a nightmare, paladin."

It gradually disappeared into the darkness.

In the alley, one street lamp after another lit up.

A sheepskin scroll appeared in front of everyone, and a few lines of words quickly appeared on it:
"Participants: Card Master (1 person)"

"The nightmare starts."

"You have twelve hours to purify the inner world."

"The Demon King will wake up after that."

"Countdown begins:"

"12:00:00."

After reading it, Liu Ping pondered: "Yana, Hua Qingkong, do you know what this means?"

"I've never heard of it," Yana said.

"This is the secret of the Nightmare Era. It has been kept so tightly that those of us in later generations have no idea what happened in that era." Hua Qingkong said.

suddenly.

The surrounding void moved.

Those law enforcers reappeared.

They stood beside Liu Ping intact, as if turning a blind eye to the parchment in front of them.

"The evil thing seems to have escaped." One person said.

"Then let's go in and see if we can find some clues in the world below." Another person said.

"But our strength is too weak. Once we enter the world below, we will be corroded soon." The third person said.

They looked at Liu Ping together.

"Okay, I'll go." Liu Ping shrugged.

The three nodded together.

The leader took out a badge emitting a faint white light, pinned it on Liu Ping's chest and said, "If you can save our people, this badge can prove your identity."

Liu Ping looked down at the badge.

I saw that it was an extremely crude piece of metal, and a line of small words appeared next to it:
"Proof of Race: Human."

An inexplicable tension emerged in Liu Ping's heart.

——In the world below, even the identity cannot be easily determined?
The man patted Liu Ping on the shoulder and encouraged him:

"Go, commit suicide if you can't, at least you won't be polluted by evil, and you can get peace."

suicide?

thank you.

Liu Ping waved at them, turned around and walked deep into the alley.

Halfway through he looked back.

I saw those people disappeared, but there were still a few dead bones lying on the ground.

"It's strange, it looks like a dead spirit."

Hua Qingkong said.

Liu Ping didn't speak, and walked forward quickly.

At the end of the alley is a staircase leading down.

Walking down the steps, you will come to a wide square.

On the square stands a huge sculpture, with a devil carved on one side and a human being carved on the other.

——The demon and the human merged into one, forming a statue.

The surrounding area was empty, and the fog covered everything, making it impossible to see clearly what was beyond the square.

suddenly.

The tumbling mist around the square seemed to have sensed it and trembled violently.

Liu Ping opened the map of insight again.

A translucent map emitting light appeared in front of his eyes.

I saw that outside the square, densely packed small dots were rapidly moving towards the square.

Above those dots, a line of small logos appeared:

"The demon of filth."

"These are polluted souls, they retain the attack power of their lifetime, and are even stronger!"

"In 3 minutes, they will arrive at the square!"

After reading it, Liu Ping immediately said, "Everyone, get ready to fight."

He was just about to put away the map when he suddenly saw a strange light spot in the center of the square.

"Huh? There's something here."

He walked quickly to the statue, put his hand on the wall below the statue, and pressed hard on a certain brick.

Click!

There was a soft sound.

The wall flips over, revealing the remains of an angel.

The remains were nailed to the wall with a blackened dagger, and the dagger was firmly grasped with both hands, as if before dying, he wanted to pull the dagger out of his chest.

"It's so well hidden, I can't tell there's anything here." Libertas said with emotion.

"Thanks to the map of the Strange Demon King." Liu Ping said.

He glanced at the dagger, and saw that the hilt of the dagger was made entirely of wriggling black muscle, while the blade was a small piece of bone.

A few lines of burning small characters appeared:

"The bone of evil."

"dagger."

"Full of evil and corrupt power that can pollute all souls."

Libertas' voice suddenly came out:

"Wow, this dagger looks very strong, can you give it to me?"

"no!"

Yana emerged quietly.

"You all remember, without my permission, you are not allowed to touch the things inside."

she said solemnly.

"Why?" Libertas asked.

"Because they are all corrupted things that are beyond comprehension. Once human beings are infected, their souls will be alienated." Hua Qingkong said.

Yana took two steps forward, exuding a holy light all over her body.

She grabbed the dagger, pulled it out forcefully and threw it to the ground.

The dagger squirmed.

It turned into a bug covered with bone blades and burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

"Why can Yana touch that dagger?" Libertas asked unwillingly.

"Her soul is holy without any blemish, so it will not be affected. If it were you, once you hold the dagger, you will immediately become a fallen monster." Hua Qingkong sneered.

Libertas fell silent.

On the wall, the angel's skeleton suddenly moved.

"Who? Who saved me just now?"

The angel made a hoarse voice, trying to look around.

Only then did Liu Ping realize that the angel's eyes were hollow, obviously they had been gouged out.

"I'm a card master." Liu Ping said.

The badge on his chest suddenly shone brighter.

The angel sensed it immediately, and exclaimed:

"It's human! Unexpectedly, I have been sealed in the wall for countless years. I thought that no one would ever rescue me——but you were able to find me."

Liu Ping glanced at the map.

——What a good thing!

If it wasn't for the tricks used by the Demon King of Strangeness, I would really like to thank it.

Now……

It seems that there is another way to thank it.

"It's not worth mentioning. We're going to move on. What's your plan?" Liu Ping asked.

"Advance? Yes... You must take as many places as possible and wake up more comrades before the devil finds out, otherwise you will be completely trapped here like us." Angel Skeleton said.

Liu Ping was quiet and asked:

"Are you all trapped here after losing the battle?"

Angel Skeleton sighed: "There is no way, the war has lasted many times, but the devil is too strong..."

Just as Liu Ping was thinking, he suddenly felt something.

He looked into the fog around the square, and saw monsters coming out of the fog one after another.

These monsters all have human-like shapes, but their eyes are red and their expressions are crazy.

They are not in a hurry to pounce, but stand in rows from a distance.

Evil spells burst from their mouths.

"Don't let them continue reading!"

Yana said anxiously.

Libertas was the first to jump out of the card book, grabbed grenades one by one, and threw them viciously towards the edge of the square.

Rumbling--

Thick smoke billowed, and many monsters were blown away.

"Liu Ping, lend me the knife."

Zhao Chanyi whispered.

Liu Ping released the Shadow Knife towards the void, and immediately a small hand stretched out to catch the long knife.

Zhao Chanyi flew over with the knife and disappeared instantly.

next moment.

Brilliant blade lights erupted one after another, cutting rows of monsters into several pieces.

Hua Qingkong also came out of the card book, took a long silk thread, and looked into the depths of the mist.

"It's too late, they have already summoned an extremely powerful guy."

Hua Qingkong said.

Norton showed his figure, slapped his card book, and shouted: "The space extends!"

A card was thrown out by him.

Bang!
The card disappears.

"I also feel the powerful aura of that guy, but if it wants to get here, it has to pass through a void space about [-] kilometers long—it can be regarded as buying a little time." Norton said.

"Then destroy these things that can call other powerful monsters first."

As Liu Ping said, he took out the flame card book.

He handed the card book to Libertas, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Use it well."

"And this." Liu Ping handed over a lighter.

Libertas took the lighter and saw that it was a copper windproof lighter with skulls, women and daggers engraved on the surface.

He touched the lighter fondly, picked up the card book again, and said overjoyed: "Sure enough, he is a good brother! Liu Ping, I will let you know how good I am."

Liu Ping smiled.

In fact, Libertas is a very potential assassin, but he is too young, only 14 years old.

If he can be trained well, he will definitely be a powerful character in the future.

rumbling--

In the depths of the mist, there were bursts of huge vibrations.

"It's coming!"

Norton exclaimed.

All around the square, those humanoid monsters had been completely killed by Zhao Chanyi.

"Just right, let's see how powerful that guy is!"

Zhao Chanyi shook off the blood on the long knife and said coldly.

Everyone waited with bated breath.

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded:

"Even if you can't win, you still have to fight, otherwise you won't be saved in vain."

Everyone looked back.

I saw the angel skeleton standing up slowly.

next moment.

Strands of muscle grew out of thin air around the skeleton, and the angel suddenly became flesh and blood, and came back to life again.

A pair of white wings spread out to both sides.

The void opened up, and the broken bright armor suddenly dispersed, turning into components one by one, and covering the angel's body.

This is a slender male angel.

The angel called.

A long crystal sword appeared from the void and he held it in his hand.

"I regained a little strength..."

The angel spoke to the crowd looking at him.
