Purgatory Artist-Chapter 219: Cross Slash

Traces of Demonic Ants and Skeletons could be seen everywhere in the forest, the hills, the rivers, and the plains.

Every path had been sealed off!

Lilith whispered: "Liu Ping, seems like it'll be very hard for us to get there."

"Even if it's hard, we still have to go.Liu Ping replied.

"Hm, I'll help you." Lilith replied.

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree stared at the two of them and spoke: "「 Young man, even if my main body isn't here, I still very much want to help you.」

Liu Ping didn't understand, but the other party didn't say anything else.

Liu Ping quickly regained his senses.

"Your Excellency, I don't have much money left, what do you think I should do?" he asked.

Very sensible!

The Spirit of the Ancient Tree praised: 「 Take out the last 10% of your wealth, I'll give you a crucial piece of information, it might be able to help you escape this encirclement.」

"Thank you for your help." Liu Ping replied.

He handed over his last Wealth Card.

The Wealth Card disappeared.

At the very next moment.

A green leaf appeared in the void of space.

This green leaf gave off a faint glow, slowly shrank in front of Liu Ping's eyes and turned into an insignia.

「 Since you've obtained the map, you should know where the 'Grey Stone Forest ' is.」 the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

Liu Ping thought for a bit and spoke: "It's in our South-East direction, about 7km from here. It's a dried up stream in the middle of a grey forest, filled with long rocks."

「That's right, you should head there immediately.」the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

"Why?"

「A few people have escaped from the Sanctuary. They were lucky enough to avoid the sight of the two Hibernators and are about to reach Grey Stone Forest .」

The green leaf emblem fell into Liu Ping's hands.

「This emblem can prove your identity. If you join those people, they will have a way to bring you out of the encirclement. Of course, you will also have to contribute to the entire team.」 The Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

Liu Ping held the emblem.

A line of burning words quickly appeared:

[Eternal Night Ancient Tree Insignia]

「The person who can hold this insignia must have received the recognition of the Eternal Night Ancient Tree Spirit and is worthy of the trust of all living beings.」

It was equivalent to proof of identity.

This Spirit of the Ancient Tree really knows how to do business. Just a proof of identity and it wants 10% of my wealth.

But at this moment, the emblem came at the right time. Liu Ping needed it.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your timely help," Liu Ping said.

「Alright, I wish you all a safe journey. By the way, for the next two hours, the area within a radius of 20 kilometers is safe. You all must move quickly.」 the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said.

"Thank you."

「Goodbye.」

In an instant, all the lights and shadows disappeared.

Liu Ping only felt a flash in front of his eyes before he returned to the empty tree hole.

It was like a dream.

But after he woke up, there was a thick book with a black cover in his hands.

Lilith stood on the book, tilted her head and said, "Liu Ping, I made you a pauper."

"I am very familiar with spending and earning money. Don't worry," Liu Ping said.

Lilith looked at him carefully. Seeing that he was really confident, she heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Are we leaving now?"

"Let's go!" Liu Ping said.

The two of them left the tree hole.

Liu Ping glanced at Lilith.

Lilith said, "I haven't stayed in a Tome for a long time. I am more used to staying outside."

"Alright, where do you want to stay?" Liu Ping said.

Lilith jumped lightly, grabbed his earlobe and climbed up bit by bit. Then, she jumped again and landed on Liu Ping's head.

She looked around.

The view was not bad!

"I will stay here!" Lilith said as if she was announcing.

"Alright." Liu Ping said.

Since the Spirit of the Ancient Tree said that there was no danger at the moment, then they had to hurry.

Liu Ping stretched out his hand and lifted it gently. Immediately, a Tome that had just been opened appeared in the void and landed in his hand.

Tome: Death Puppet.

"I don't have to keep all my cards in my pocket anymore."

Liu Ping sighed and pulled out a card from his card book.

Knight mount!

Bang!

A warhorse appeared in front of Liu Ping.

He looked around and recalled the map in his mind. He said, "So the place we are at is called the Wild Fruit Forest."

"Why is this place called 'Wild Fruit Forest'?" Lilith asked curiously on top of his head.

"Because there are wild fruits everywhere. Other than wild fruits, there isn't much else. So, the powerful monsters won't come here. This place is too barren for them."

Liu Ping explained.

Suddenly, lines of small burning words appeared in front of him.

[You are a Naturalist.]

[You have gained experience by exploration and discovery.]

[Since you are temporarily out of danger, you will be calculating your experience gain.]

On the Heroic Spirit's interface, the 'Three-point Leveling Method' lit up.

This function allowed Liu Ping to level up through exploration, battle, and card collection.

[You and your dog have discovered the Devil's City. Experience gained by 7%.]

[Your dog has leveled up by two levels. So, your experience gained by 10%.]

[You have discovered the Tome Spirit, Lilith. Experience gained by 20%.]

[You have learned the functions of the two Sleeper's card books. You have understood the conspiracy of the two Sleepers. Experience gained by 50%.]

[You have encountered the Guardian of All Beings, the Spirit of the Ancient Tree. Experience gained by 9%.]

[You have discovered a new place: Wild Fruit Forest. Experience gained by 3%.]

[Current experience: 99%.]

[Please continue to explore the Evernight World. You are about to level up]

[Note: After leaving the Fool's Sequence, you have truly entered the Evernight World. Every level up will become more difficult, but every level up will bring you benefits]

Liu Ping read all the notifications and sighed slightly.

In the Fool's Sequence, a skill could only be obtained by leveling up ten levels. Moreover, it was a weakened skill.

Everything in the Sequence's World was set and had almost nothing to do with the Evernight World.

Now.

He had finally arrived at the true Evernight World!

"Is there still 1% left?

It seems that as long as I reach the Grey Stone Forest , I can increase my experience through exploration and level up to Level 8. "

Liu Ping muttered to himself.

He flipped onto the horse, identified the direction, and shouted, "Go!"

The warhorse neighed and galloped in the direction of the Grey Stone Forest.

Time passed slowly.

When the warhorse reached the Grey Stone Forest, Liu Ping jumped off the horse and recalled it.

He looked around.

This was probably a place where a stream passed by. However, due to the season or other reasons, the stream had completely dried up, revealing the rectangular stones that were originally under the water.

"This is the 'Grey Stone Forest'."

Liu Ping said.

Lilith grabbed his hair and stood up to look around.

"There's no one here." She said strangely.

"Maybe we arrived early and those people haven't arrived yet." Liu Ping said.

He looked at the void.

A line of burning words appeared as expected.

[You've discovered the Grey Stone Forest.]

[Your experience has reached 100%.]

[Congratulations.]

[Your level has increased to 8.]

[Your attributes have increased by 1 point.]

[You've obtained the Level 8 Knight Skill: Cross Slash.]

[Cross Slash: Activates Soul Power and swings a 'cross' forward to kill the enemy.]

This is the most common attack skill of a Knight and can be performed with various cold weapons.]

A combat skill appeared in Liu Ping's mind.

He closed his eyes for a moment and suddenly frowned.

"Such a simple skill ..."

Liu Ping whispered.

The next moment.

The entire world came to a standstill.

A line of burning words appeared in front of his eyes.

[You've been stopped in this second.]

[The Divine Seat Supremacy will begin in this second and determine your life and death.]

[Confirmation for the last time, do you want to be Yana's card and participate in this Divine Seat Supremacy for her?]

Liu Ping's thoughts were interrupted.

He suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since the Divine Seat Supremacy was triggered.

During this period of time, he only cared about dealing with the 'Fool' sequence and almost forgot about this matter.

"Confirm!" Liu Ping said.

A ray of light wrapped around his body and brought him into the void, disappearing.

...

In the empty arena.

Suddenly.

Two rays of light fell.

One turned into Liu Ping.

The other turned into a monkey with two heads and was covered in flames.

The monkey looked at Liu Ping as soon as it landed.

"A Level 8 Knight? Strange ... I've never seen him in the manor. Is he an intruder? When I catch you, I'll ask Aldrich for a reward! "

The monkey jumped back and forth nimbly, laughing as it pounced towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping drew his long sword without hesitation and slashed forward with all his strength!

"Cross Slash? What a pathetic low-level skill. "

The four eyes of the monkey's two heads were filled with sarcasm.

It spun in the air and dodged the attack.

Wait!

What flew out from Liu Ping's long sword was not the 'cross' shaped Soul Power Sword Slash.

This Sword Slash had a more compact shape, so much so that there were hidden Sword Slashes in the gaps of the 'cross'.

The monkey was caught off guard and was hit by the slash. It let out a series of screams and retreated.

It opened up a distance with vigilance and stared at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping waved his sword and did not chase after it. He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Was that the Cross Slash?"

The monkey covered its wound and could not help but ask.

Liu Ping came back to his senses and said, "It's not the Cross Slash, it's the Rice Slash."

"Rice Slash?" The monkey was stunned.

There was only the Cross Slash. I've never heard of the Rice Slash!

But then again ...

The Rice Slash was indeed more compact than the Cross Slash. It was also harder to dodge.

Just now, it was hiding in the gap of the 'Cross'. It thought it could rush up and tear this kid apart. Who knew that there would be an arc-shaped Sword Slash in the gap.

"Yes, just as you thought, the Cross Slash is too easy to dodge. Don't talk first. Let me think about how to change this move."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he ignored the monkey.

As he paced, he thought about how to continue improving this Knight Slash.
