Chapter 538 Ghost of Sin
In the gloomy canyon.

A few figures flew between the cliffs with strange rocks.

"We have traveled for two hours, how long will it take to get there?" Delia asked.

"Soon!" Alain said.

He made a warning gesture.

Everyone became nervous and drew their weapons one after another.

An eagle landed on the top of the cliff in front of it, and said, "I found a cave."

"What kind of cave?" Arland asked.

"It seems that there are dusty steps inside, extending all the way to the depths of the mountain." Feiying said.

"That's right there! By the way, are there any enemies?"

"not found."

"go!"

Several people accelerated the flying speed, and soon passed through the wind-eroded stone forest, and landed in front of a hidden cave on the mountainside.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of whining wind wandering back and forth in the cave at an extremely fast speed.

Alan De looked at Liu Ping and said, "I remember that practitioners have spiritual sense and can explore the surrounding situation."

"It's very empty inside, except for the steps extending downwards, there is nothing else to be found." Liu Ping said.

The words of the assassin and the practitioner were exactly the same, so Alan De was relieved.

"Go, go in and find out."

Alain said.

They drilled into the cave, and immediately saw a long, dusty stone step, and they didn't know where it led.

One side of the stone steps leans against the rock wall, and the other side is a bottomless cliff. From time to time, there are bursts of stern wind howling from the dark void below, making people feel chills through the body.

"Huomang." Alan De said aloud.

A ball of flame emerged from his hand and floated into the air, illuminating the way forward.

"The assassin is in the front, the practitioner and the sniper are slower, follow behind, and Delia and I take care of each other." He quickly arranged the manpower.

Liu Ping retreated a few steps, raised his saber to protect Xie Liuming's side.

Xie Liuming glanced at Liu Ping, showing appreciation.

I am a sniper, once I get close, I can't show my strength.

This practitioner knows how to protect himself, which is not bad.

The team walked along the steps towards the depths of the cave.

Soon.

Liu Ping saw a line of small characters appear on the interface of the Expeditionary Army sequence in the void:
"It seems that there is something invisible hiding in the dark and watching us. I can feel it, but I can't find it." Eagle.

——This is an assassin.

He issued an early warning to the entire team through the interface!

Several people all had a serious look on their faces.

Alain took out a pair of glasses and put them on calmly.

Delia also took out a purple pendant and hung it on her chest.

On the expeditionary army sequence interface, two lines of small characters suddenly appeared:
"I didn't find it. My glasses can only see invisible units. The opponent's stealth technique may be stronger than ordinary invisible units." Aland.

"It's the same for me. My pendant can see targets with killing intent, but I didn't find anything unusual." Delia said.

Liu Ping looked at it, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the sniper Xie Liuming beside him.

Xie Liuming showed embarrassment on his face, and whispered: "They have a lot of money and a lot of meritorious service, so they can buy this kind of advanced equipment. I don't have such spare money."

Liu Ping understood, and said in a low voice: "They are big bosses, we can't compare with them."

"That's right." Xie Liuming nodded repeatedly.

Liu Ping glanced around, and saw that Alande's flame had illuminated a large area, but it was obvious that no one had been here for a long time, and only the walls and steps that had accumulated thick dust could be seen.

There is nothing beyond the cliff.

But he understood the feeling Eagle was talking about.

It really seemed that there was something secretly spying on his group.

Liu Ping suddenly focused his eyes.

He saw two lines of small characters appearing in the void hundreds of meters away from the steps:

"Evil-breaking dragon spirit."

"The dragons of the heroic spirit can directly trigger the evil karma on the target and attack the target."

——This guy is spying in the dark!

Liu Ping lowered his head, pretended not to see anything, and continued to follow the team.

Soon.

Those two lines began to move in the void, gradually approaching the team.

The eagle standing at the front of the team suddenly said: "Everyone be careful, I feel that something is about to attack——."

Before he could finish a sentence, those two lines of words suddenly appeared above his head.

In the blink of an eye, many ghost figures suddenly appeared around him, circling around him.

"What is this?" Eagle asked strangely.

Alain waved his hand.

Everyone attacked the ghosts together, but they couldn't hit them at all.

"It's useless," Delia shook her head. "These are the karmic sins of the eagle. It was triggered and manifested as a ghost—only eagles can attack them."

"Is it a karmic sin? This time I'm in trouble." Alan De frowned.

While the few people were talking, Ying had already tried his best, and the two daggers in his hand kept stabbing at the ghosts.

But there are more and more ghosts.

Those ghosts fused together from time to time, flashing multiple light and shadow images of the past, all of which were scenes of him killing all living beings.

All the lights and shadows revolved around him, making it dizzying.

In a picture of light and shadow, a man stared at the eagle, his eyes bleeding and said: "I promoted you, but you killed me in the end."

Eagle's movements slowed down, and he became a little confused.

"It's over." Alain whispered.

The man suddenly turned into a skeleton, passed through the gap of the dagger, bit the eagle's head directly, and tore off the whole head with a light tug.

The other light and shadow images suddenly recondensed into ghost images.

They swarm up.

These densely packed ghost figures existed like gray human figures, and they disintegrated the eagle completely in an instant, devouring it all, leaving only dripping blood on the steps.

When the eagle's body was completely eaten, the ghost shadows gradually became dim, and soon disappeared into the void.

All around was quiet.

"How did this stupid guy pass the assessment and be sent as an advance army? Those people in the headquarters are all idiots." Alan De sneered.

"Tomorrow we will add another manpower." Delia said thoughtfully.

next moment.

Liu Ping saw the evil dragon spirit in the void fly over Alan De's head again.

Suddenly, ghost figures appeared around Alan De.

There were more and more of these ghost images, pressing towards him like an overwhelming mountain.

Compared with the situation of the eagle just now, it pales in comparison.

"Instead of complaining about the headquarters, you should first figure out how to deal with this kind of attack. You and I have killed countless sentient beings. According to cause and effect, the crime is very serious." Delia said.

"If it's just these ghosts, I'm not afraid."

Alan De said disdainfully, and reached out to grab a card from the void.

He crushed the cards.

Bang!
A pure white staff appeared in his hand.

"This is a sacred scepter for 50 meritorious deeds. Whoever comes will perish."

Alain laughed.

However, the next second, the smile on his face froze suddenly.

The void opens.

Another world appeared before everyone's eyes.

I saw that in that world, endless ghost shadows attacked him like overwhelming.

——The lives he had killed, and the sinful spirit condensed at the time of death, all manifested as sinful ghosts, rushing towards him recklessly.

"Ah - go to hell!"

Arland yelled.

The holy light radiated from the scepter, melting all the ghosts that rushed up.

But there are too many ghosts.

Not long after, the holy light on the scepter gradually dimmed.

"Boss, be careful!" The sniper Xie Liuming shouted from a distance behind.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a crime!" The expression on Aland's face gradually distorted.

He gritted his teeth, pulled out another card from the void, and crushed it.

"Come on," he yelled, "I wasted 300 merit points, now let you all die!"

A drop of sparkling tear-shaped diamond appeared in his hand, exuding a hazy aura.

Those holy lights illuminated the surroundings, casting on Alan De's body, and behind him reflected a long, huge dark figure.

In the void, all the ghosts were illuminated by the misty light, and disappeared immediately.

Time passed slowly.

All ghost images are wiped out.

Only then did Alain put away the diamond and laughed nervously.

"It's just a sin, you want to stop me from killing? Our life is like this, it doesn't understand the cruelty of this world at all." He said in a haughty tone.

"Be careful." Liu Ping said suddenly.

Alan De looked towards Liu Ping, and was about to say something, when suddenly he noticed a flash around him, and the whole world disappeared from his eyes.

"What's going on?" His face darkened, and he took out the diamond again.

The diamond exudes a hazy glow, illuminating the surroundings.

Alan De quickly saw the scene around him, and he was taken aback.

He found himself standing on a giant black hand.

Looking up along this hand, I saw a ghost figure as big as a mountain sitting in the void, looking down.

In addition to this gigantic ghost, there is another even bigger ghost holding this ghost. Its body is as big as the sky and the earth, and it cannot be seen that it is exhausted.

Suddenly, a sense of understanding emerged in Alan De's heart.

His own sins seem to have gone beyond the ordinary category.

This time there is no escape.

The only way is-

He gritted his teeth, took out a card, and said in a low voice, "Dostin Stand!"

the other side.

Liu Ping and the others were on the long steps, only to see a flash of darkness, and Alan De disappeared from sight.

Waited for a few breaths.

On the expeditionary army sequence interface, a line of small words appeared next to Alan De's portrait:
"The position of captain has been removed."

Liu Ping couldn't help but said, "What's the situation?"

Delia sighed and said, "He used a very precious card and asked someone to bear all the sins instead of him."

"Then what should we do? We don't have that kind of card—by the way, let's run away!" the sniper Xie Liuming couldn't help but said.

Before the two of them could answer, he turned around abruptly and sprinted towards the way he came.

Void flashed.

Hundreds of ghost figures emerged, bit him for a round, and then dispersed one after another.

Xie Liuming no longer exists.

At this moment, only Liu Ping and Delia were left on the dusty steps.

"Do you have a way to escape?" Liu Ping asked.

"There are only a few hundred merit points, not enough to redeem." Delia said boredly.

"Then why don't you run away?" Liu Ping said.

Delia's eyes moved, but she didn't speak.

Sudden.

Numerous ghost figures unfolded around her, revealing scenes from the past.

Among those scenes, there are all pictures of her killing all living beings, and there are even many human beings among them.

Delia folded her arms and stood there watching quietly.

Those who were killed by her, as well as other sentient beings, all appeared in front of her eyes, and uttered a mournful and vicious roar at her:

"Delia, your sinful life has come to an end, pay off your debts."

"Pay for your life! Pay for your life!"

"Come and die!"

Thousands of cursed words turned into strong winds, flying back and forth in the dark cavern.

Delia closed her eyes and said lazily, "Forget it, I've killed many years, I'm a little tired, and I gradually don't feel anything to look forward to. Maybe it's better to die like this."

Liu Ping looked at her calmly.

The title of "Confused Daughter Surrounded by Bones" above her head originally meant that her life was completely lost.

next moment.

Liu Ping suddenly reached out his hand and pulled her away.

Long Ling immediately staggered away from Delia.

But it immediately unleashed some attack on Liu Ping.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared before Liu Ping's eyes:
"Notice!"

"You and Delia are hit at the same time, and the karma of your sins will manifest as ghosts."

"Please immediately equip the title of saint: the icon before the tide."

Liu Ping put his name on his head without hesitation.

Almost at the same moment, dense ghost figures flew out of the surrounding void.

They kept flying around the two of them, but they didn't dare to approach them at all.

This situation seemed to annoy the ghosts.

all of a sudden.

All around disappears.

Liu Ping and Delia appeared together in an unknown world.

In the whole world, there are piles of bones everywhere, and in farther places, there are skeletons as large as mountains.

"I didn't expect you to kill many people." Delia looked around and said to Liu Ping.

"You killed quite a few." Liu Ping replied.

"I kill people for the survival of the human race, for the continuation of the human race... What are you doing for?" Delia asked.

"Happy." Liu Ping said.

"Just because of this?" Delia raised her voice.

"Oh... still unhappy." Liu Ping said.

Delia was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "...you devil, it seems that none of us will be spared, and we are all going to die here."

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

However, those white bones remained motionless, not launching any attacks.

Suddenly, two lines of small burning characters appeared before Liu Ping's eyes:
"You are a sage recognized by the vast world. You have used your wisdom to teach countless sentient beings, and you will continue to teach countless sentient beings in the future. All sentient beings will benefit."

"Because of your immeasurable merits and virtues, the ghosts of sins cannot come close to you."
