Chapter 428 The First Encounter

Countless nightmare runes rose in the void.

They surround the black scales, constantly changing, overlapping, and merging at an extremely crazy speed——

In the end, it turned into an illusory vertical pupil with a height of nine meters.

Ink-like mist continuously emerged from the black scales.

It rushed into the air, quietly floating in the center of the vertical pupil, and turned into the deepest darkness in the vertical pupil.

The two dark executors raised their heads and looked at the vertical pupil in midair.

"It's really amazing." A dark executor said.

"You only have [-]% of the strength of nightmare, and this move is [-]% of its power. I guess you can't beat it." Liu Ping said.

"No, we are not talking about this technique." Another dark executor said.

One of them retreated, the other advanced, standing in front and rear rows in front of the vertical pupil.

The dark executor facing the vertical pupil raised his hand, made a blocking motion, and said: "We are talking about you, you are so small and humble, but you can come up with such a method."

"Thanks for the compliment, die." Liu Ping said.

The illusory vertical pupil suddenly erupted into a long black line as thick as a millstone, passing through the sky in an instant, and directly bombarded the first dark executor.

Between the lightning and the flint, the dark executor standing behind shouted in a low voice: "Nightmare, solve it!"

The voice fell.

Something happened that Liu Ping couldn't understand.

Endless streams of darkness exploded from this dark executor, and rushed towards the other one blocking the vertical pupil as if alive.

boom! ! !
The dark beam of light shot up into the sky, shooting into the endless void like a torrent.

The dark executor standing in front was enveloped by this force, rushed into the sky, and disappeared with the beam of light.

The phantom vertical pupil disappeared immediately.

The black scales fell from mid-air and returned to Liu Ping's hands.

Lines of burning small characters immediately appeared in front of his eyes:
"The nightmare technique you awakened is a super powerful technique for the nightmare body, and it is irresistible."

"It has completely sealed off the enemy and fell into a deep sleep."

Liu Ping's eyes sank.

A voice came from afar:
"Do you find it unimaginable? It clearly has [-]% of its power, but it only wiped out one me, while the other me was not affected at all."

——The second dark enforcer.

The dark streamer on it no longer exists, so its image has also changed at this time.

With a tall figure, a face no different from a human being, and endless indifference in his eyes.

It turned into a human man.

His bare upper body was covered with black runes, and his long hair fluttered behind his head. The only strange thing was that there was a long, faintly visible light-shaped rope behind him.

One end of this long rope was connected to the back of the man's heart, and the other end sank into the deep void, with no end in sight.

Dark drama!

Liu Ping's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

In the dark drama, all practitioners are controlled to behave in this way, but they don't know that their souls have already been controlled by the goddess of pain.

"When I untie the Embrace of Nightmare, that technique will naturally not attack me, but at the same time, the time I can stay on the pillar is limited. We need to make a break as soon as possible."

The human male's hands kept clicking in the void, as if he was processing something.

"You have a sequence." Liu Ping whispered.

"That's right, I'm manipulating my sequence to see how much time I have after everything is arranged," the man said.

The voice fell.

A line of small characters suddenly appeared in the void:
"05:00."

This line of small characters floated between the two of them.

"Who are you?" Liu Ping couldn't help asking.

"Compared to this matter, I think what is more important is who you are." The man said.

He snapped his fingers.

The line of small characters was immediately turned over, revealing new content:
"The battle begins."

"04:59."

"04:58."

"..."

The man moved his lower body, put a fist on the spot and said: "We only have 5 minutes, let me see how you look—"

In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

So fast!

This speed has exceeded Liu Ping's ability to recognize.

In the blink of an eye, he didn't even have time to conceive a thought, he swung his long knife and slashed behind him——

when!
The long knife slashed on a metal glove, and scattered sparks exploded.

The man was surprised and said: "It can't capture my movements at all, but can it also block my attack?"

He stepped back and disappeared again.

too fast!
I can't see his movements at all!
Without hesitation, Liu Ping dodged to the left, and the long knife in his hand drew out a flash of light that flew alternately.

The man showed his figure and waved his fists continuously.

There was a crisp knocking sound.

He took a few steps back, looked at Liu Ping again and said, "That's right, you can't keep up with my speed at all, but you can block my attack. It seems that you don't know how many lives you have fought."

"What do you want to know from me?" Liu Ping asked.

Burning small characters kept flashing in front of his eyes:
"The battle has begun!"

"This battle comes from the duel mode of ancient times, the setting mode is:"

"Limited time fighting."

"In this mode, you cannot use any strange powers."

"This sequence has recognized this combat mode."

"Please do your best."

The heroic spirit operation interface has recognized the battle mode set by the other party!

Why is that?
Liu Ping stretched out his hand to grasp it from the void, and took out the prison-suppressing knife.

Holding two knives in his hand, he put out a knife holder, and said in a low voice, "I always thought that nightmares were monsters that destroy the world..."

"Your cognition is not wrong, that's why the souls in the real world escape, trying to find hope on the divine pillar, this is their instinct." The man said.

"So your purpose is to destroy all the pillars?" Liu Ping asked.

The man punched through the air.

Liu Ping's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly raised his two sabers upwards.

I saw an invisible fist descending from the sky, smashing hard on the pair of knives, making a dull sound.

"die!"

The man's voice rang in Liu Ping's ear.

In an instant, Liu Ping let go of the two sabers, turned around and clenched his fists, fists and palms overlapping.

The impact of fists and feet sounded like a shower.

Snapped--

Liu Ping swung his palm and sent the man flying.

At this time, the two sabers hadn't landed on the ground, and he held them again in his hands, and slashed forward with all his might.

The complex blade light burst out from the blade, turning into a rotating arc of light in the sky, surrounding the man from all directions.

The man had almost no way to retreat, but his expression did not change at all.

next moment.

All the sword lights burst out with dazzling cold light, completely drowning him.

when!
There was a loud tremor, and all the lights of the sword instantly vanished into nothingness.

I saw the man standing where he was, the glove on his hand had disappeared, replaced by a simple and simple long sword.

"Sword?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"Your boxing technique just now is Wujijing—you have this boxing technique in your memory." The man said.

"You know it?" Liu Ping asked.

The man put the long sword back behind him casually, and said, "It seems that you are a real person."

"I don't quite understand what you mean." Liu Ping said.

The man smiled and said, "Let me think about how to say it—are you familiar with the world on the technology side?"

"Familiar." Liu Ping said.

"Prosthetic?"

"Know some."

"The prosthetic body can replace the human body and accommodate the soul, isn't it?" the man said.

"That's right, but many senses of the human body will be lost." Liu Ping said.

The man said: "Then if we go a step further, when we create a biological prosthetic body that can perfectly replicate all human feelings and accommodate the soul—do you think the prosthetic body is a prosthetic body or a real human body?"

Liu Ping pondered for a few breaths and said, "...there is no difference."

The man said: "Yes, the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind are all illusory, because they are the feelings of the prosthetic body, not the real self."

He looked at Liu Ping and said, "You have your true self, so where you are, it is the real world."

Ding!
In midair, that ticking time is attributed to "00:00".

5 minutes up, the fight is over!
The man looked up and said: "Because you have that knife, you can hear such a deep secret, but unfortunately I don't have time to stay here anymore—"

"In short, we are not enemies."

He raised his hand.

Countless runes suddenly appeared in the void, condensing into an interface.

The man taps lightly on the interface.

"I will continue to capture that nightmare existence and see if there is a way to defeat it."

"—I hope next time we meet, you can become stronger."

The voice fell.

He took a step back and disappeared into the void.
