Chapter 70 Heart Fire (two chapters in one)

A lone mountain is drawn on that card.

Beyond the lone peak lies an endless dark abyss.

——It seems that there is only such a lonely peak in the whole world, and there is nothing else besides it.

The top of the entire solitary peak is surrounded by walls.

Inside the wall, all kinds of people were sitting or lying, or walking or standing, all with dull faces and blank expressions.

They were wearing heavy shackles on their hands and feet.

"What is this?" Liu Ping asked.

He looked at the small characters burning in the void, and he knew it in his heart.

This card can send yourself to stay there for a while.

On that lonely peak, the flow of time is not the same as the current time.

One day over there, I just want to be 1 minute here.

"——it's called the Temporary Prison of the Useless, and it's a prison used to imprison those professionals who have fully awakened in the dark drama." The lady said.

"Will they be trapped here forever?" Liu Ping asked.

"No, each of them has to solve a difficult problem related to their profession. If they do it, it will prove that they are valuable and will be released to form an employment relationship with the gods. They don't have to be slaves—although it's not a big deal. Difference." said the woman.

"Are there many people going out?" Liu Ping asked.

"Almost no one has done it—because those problems are set very hard, even if they are strong in various types of professions, they can't solve the problems of that level." The lady said.

I saw on the card, those people gradually began to commotion.

They hushed and drank, gathered together, and seemed to be about to start something.

Soon.

The two came out, faced each other, and fought with their bare hands.

Others formed a circle and cheered loudly.

The lady said in a sarcastic tone: "Any supernatural power is forbidden there, and you can't continue to practice. At most, you can only fight-for an incomparably long time, these dead people have no food or drink, and have nothing to do, except to think about the problem. , can only pass the time by beating each other."

"If you get over the wall—"

"Outside is an endless cliff, and they will fall forever."

"Okay, the situation is known, what do you want me to do?" Liu Ping asked.

"Among all people, there is one person whose problem hides the secret I want to know. You have to find him and learn his problem," the lady said.

"Who is it?"

"do not know."

"Any clues?"

"No."

"Not at all?"

"Yes, if you can't do it, you don't have to go, let's leave it alone."

"And what if I know the problem?"

"—I will be your servant."

"make a deal."

Liu Ping took the card and gently held it in his hand.

The card suddenly released a burst of light, wrapping him inside.

It was as if something had tugged—

He felt himself appearing in the endless darkness, flying towards a place at high speed.

Turn around!

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

bang——

Liu Ping fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately, the sound of punching to the flesh, roaring, cheering, and clapping sounded in the ears.

He shook his head and got up from the ground.

In the crowd not far away, two people were being beaten with blood spattering.

Liu Ping stood quietly watching from a distance.

Suddenly, a female voice sounded in my ear:

"How do you plan to proceed?"

"Ma'am? You followed?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"Yes, you can't bring out the things here. I have to be by your side so that I can hear that secret when it is revealed." The female voice said.

"Okay, let's take a look first." Liu Ping said.

"Fighting has nothing to do with your mission. I advise you to take advantage of this time to seek information from those powerful people here." The female voice said.

"Look first." Liu Ping said with a smile.

He looked towards the field, and saw that the two hit the end, and one fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time.

The crowd cheered louder.

The person who was still standing stepped forward and helped the person on the ground up.

The two laughed and clapped each other enthusiastically.

Others said in a hurry:

"Beautiful play!"

"Second match! Second match!"

"Who wants to fight?"

"I still have a lot of time today, I can play a few more games, it's enough!"

"I'm going! Who will be my opponent?"

Liu Ping looked at it quietly for a while, with a blank look on his face.

The female voice sounded again: "You can only stay here for ten days, if you change to the side where we were originally, it would be 10 minutes."

"Got it." Liu Ping said.

"Hurry up, I sent people to investigate before, and I can give you a general account of the several forces here." The female voice said.

"Before you said that there were no clues." Liu Ping said.

"That's to see if you have the courage to come." The female voice said.

"Okay, leave the rest to me." Liu Ping said.

"Of course I leave it to you—wait a minute, what are you doing?" the female voice asked in surprise.

Liu Ping took off his shirt, revealing his well-proportioned muscles.

He walked into the crowd step by step.

The crowd looked at him, and when they saw that it was a new face, they burst into laughter.

"Newbie!"

"A rookie who just arrived."

"Haha, you look so young, you want to join the battle?"

"Give him a chance, beat him to tears!"

"Who's going to teach him a lesson?"

A strong man with tattoos on his body came out more and more, waved to Liu Ping and said:
"My uncle is a boxer in the world of Gu Wu, boy, what's your name?"

Liu Ping smiled and asked, "You want to fight me?"

"For newcomers, you have to teach the rules." The man laughed.

"What did you ask me just now?"

"your name."

"Oh, you don't deserve to know."

The crowd burst into laughter.

The boxer's brows twitched, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

"Rookie, don't cry and beg for mercy later!"

He strode towards Liu Ping, and the crowd immediately gave way to both sides.

ten meters.

seven meters.

three meters.

The boxer spun around, and his legs hit Liu Ping's head hard like a steel whip.

Liu Ping raised his hand to block——

"He's finished!" Immediately, a bystander shouted excitedly.

Someone even started whistling.

——In the situation where no one can use extraordinary power, the boxer's blow is already his trump card, with extremely powerful attack power.

Even if this kid blocked him, he would be beaten and rolled away.

Immediately afterward, the boxer would come after him, unleashing a barrage of blows that would keep the rookie beaten until he passed out.

Everyone thought so.

really--

This ferocious whip kick directly hit the rookie!
In a flash, the kid flew up——

He was not kicked flying, but instead embraced the boxer's legs with both hands, like a dexterous ape, his whole body danced with the opponent's kicks, as if he had become an extension of the opponent's body.

Click!

There was a clear bone cracking sound.

The boxer suddenly let out a scream, fell to the ground holding his legs, and was about to stand up again in a hurry.

Liu Ping clenched his fists and waved towards the opponent's cheek.

A muffled sound!
The boxer was knocked to the ground.

He was just about to get up, but found that a foot was constantly enlarged in front of his eyes.

Boom!
Liu Ping stepped on his face.

The boxer still struggled, but he stepped on it again!
Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
Liu Ping stomped on his face indifferently, then kicked hard——

Bang!
The boxer was kicked and flew out, hit the crowd, and overturned a large group of onlookers.

Liu Ping raised his leg, patted the dust on it, and said indifferently:
"It's boring."

The crowd fell silent.

Liu Ping coughed lightly, spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I've always hated this kind of pure hand-to-hand combat that doesn't rely on any supernatural power."

"why?"

Among the crowd, a burly man who looked like an iron tower stepped out and stared at Liu Ping.

He was nearly four meters tall, and as soon as he made a sound, the crowd around him retreated consciously, while those in the distance stood up one after another, looking over here.

The crowd quieted down.

Liu Ping looked at the strong man and said, "Two reasons."

"I want to hear it." The burly man said.

Liu Ping raised a finger: "If you have extraordinary power, it can also relieve me from boredom. If you don't even have extraordinary power—"

"That's really boring, after all, none of you are my opponents."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly.

The strong man's face sank like water, and he asked slowly: "Is there another reason?"

"Although you people have learned some of the system abilities of three-legged cats, you don't understand what fighting is all about, so I hate you." Liu Ping said.

The strong man twisted his neck and looked around.

The crowd erupted into an angry din.

The strong man waited for a moment, then waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

He stared at Liu Ping, smiled and said: "Fighting is the most primitive behavior, it is the desire engraved in the deepest part of our body, and it is the embodiment of natural selection. We find happiness by releasing it."

Liu Ping gave a thumbs up and exclaimed, "That's right, all animals think so."

"You're really looking for death!" The strong man laughed loudly, and rushed towards Liu Ping with a flash.

Liu Ping stood still——

It wasn't until the strong man's fist almost hit him that he shot lightning and slapped the opponent's face with his palm.

Two crisp beating sounds sounded.

fist!

Slap!

Two attacks with completely different meanings hit the target at the same time!
"Bastard!" the strong man roared.

"Come on." Liu Ping said with a smile.

The two stood in place without retreating at all, waving their fists and hitting each other with all their strength!

There were dense beating sounds.

No one defends—

Every second, they were receiving each other's raindrops of fists, and they were hitting each other with all their strength.

The whole prison fell silent.

One breath,
two breaths,

three breaths,

……

The time seems to be extremely long, and it seems that only a few minutes have passed.

The two people who were fighting turned into blood men.

Blood water mixed with sweat drops, and whenever they hit each other, they turned into a blood mist and flew out.

A suffocating atmosphere quietly emerged.

All the professionals closed their mouths tightly, as if something was strangling their throats, so that no one made a sound.

Throughout the prison, only the muffled sound of fists hitting flesh and blood can be heard.

Sudden--

Liu Ping burst out laughing wildly, and said loudly: "This is your fist? It's not enough to tickle! It seems that you are still just a beast!"

He was covered in blood, but there was a look of contempt in his eyes.

thump—

Bloody.

A figure was sent flying, but turned around slightly in mid-air, and landed safely on the ground.

It's Liu Ping!
He stood tens of feet away, spat out a mouthful of blood, grinned and said:

"Why did you hit me? We can continue to fight. Is your animal instinct scared?"

The burly man had complicated eyes and muttered, "Crazy..."

He swayed a few times, and finally couldn't hold on, and fell to the ground.

"madman?"

Liu Ping's eyes became cold.

"Crazy—it's actually a high-level compliment, proving that there is a huge cognitive gap between us, and you will almost never catch up with me."

He turned his head slowly, scanning all the professionals.

The crowd averted his gaze.

He opened his arms and said loudly: "From now on, none of you are allowed to fight anymore, otherwise I will fight until he dies."

No more fights!
The crowd finally boiled again.

Someone shouted loudly: "Let's go together and kill this arrogant kid!"

Liu Ping walked back without looking back.

He jumped onto the wall, glanced at the endless dark abyss behind him, and said with a smile:

"Those who refuse to accept, come up and fight with me."

"Come on, you can go up together."

All the noise stopped abruptly.

The dark abyss is an endless place to fall. Once you fall, you will have no hope. You will be in the fall forever, and you will never be able to reach the land.

This is the deepest despair!

Crazy!

He is really a madman!
people thought.

A figure rushed towards the wall, halfway through the rush, the speed weakened, and finally stopped in place.

But it is a teenager.

Liu Ping glanced at it, grinned and said, "Come on, come up."

The boy gritted his teeth and was about to jump up when suddenly a voice came from behind:
"Don't do stupid things, you can't beat him, do you want to fall into eternal fall?"

The boy's face turned pale, his feet went limp, and he almost sat down on the ground.

Only then did the blood courage fade from his body.

Liu Ping sighed regretfully, and looked at the person who spoke.

The strong man was covered in blood, struggling to get up from the ground, looking tired.

He reluctantly said:

"You lunatic! Even if you are the strongest person in hand-to-hand combat, you can be the boss here. Why do you want to deprive us of our only fun? Why are we all animals?"

Liu Ping sat down on the wall.

He stretched out his bloody finger, pointed at the other party and asked, "What's your name?"

"Qin Bing'an." The strong man said.

"Profession?"

"Blood Warrior."

"What will you become when you reach the top of your profession?"

"...Blood Saint, why are you asking this?"

Liu Ping seemed a little interested, and asked again: "What about the person I defeated just now? If his strength continues to improve, what will he become?"

"Wu Tianwang."

Liu Ping casually pointed at the crowd and asked, "What about you? If you can continue to improve, what will you become in the end?"

One person was pointed at by him, and he subconsciously said, "Venerable Austrian Law."

Liu Ping clapped his hands, jumped off the fence, and walked into the crowd.

He walked around everyone, took a look at everyone, and finally stood opposite the strong man.

"I am a practitioner."

He faced everyone and continued:

"If there are no accidents, I will continue to ascend and become a true immortal in the end."

"As for you, if there are no accidents, you will continue to move forward on your own path, and become the supreme existence of blood warriors, martial arts kings, arcane sages, or other professions."

"Maybe one day we'll meet in the void again, talk to each other, drink together, and recount the accomplishments of our lives."

"Yeah, we thought we were going to be that, we thought this was our life and we were ready for it, but in the end—"

"We didn't become that kind of people."

The audience was silent.

The wind was silent.

The professionals looked at him silently with sadness written all over their faces.

Liu Ping took a few steps, looked around and said: "In this era, we are playthings of fate and slaves of the gods. Even if we are lucky enough to see through all this, it will not help us. We can only be trapped in place. This is the truth of life. .”

"What does this have to do with fighting?" Qin Bing'an asked.

"You are all professionals, but you are here to fight for fun. In the past, I would kill you if I encountered such a situation." Liu Ping said.

"Where did we go wrong?" Qin Bingan asked puzzled.

Liu Ping said: "In my opinion, beasts take pleasure in fighting, and beasts use fighting to vent their blood desires, but we are professionals, people trapped here by the gods, the reason why we need to fight is not because of our The flesh needs it, but our hearts need it, and our hearts have reasons to fight—"

"Because we are angry."

He took a breath and suddenly roared loudly:
"—It's anger! You idiots!!!"

The crowd was slightly agitated.

It was as if an invisible force shook their bodies.

Qin Bingan said in a deep voice: "If I can leave here and go back to the world, the anger deep in my heart will naturally wake up—it's a pity that we have been trapped for too long, and there is almost no way to solve the problems that the gods have given us. open."

Liu Ping looked around, only to see that everyone gave a low voice of agreement.

There was a faint fire in their eyes, and they met Liu Ping's scrutiny without hesitation, as if they had their own ambitions in their hearts.

these people.

These people have been set on fire.

They already had a strong heart, but they were trapped here by the times.

If you let them all out—

Maybe one day, the fire will start a prairie fire.

And as a card master, I will need such a group of strong players in the future.

it's time.

Liu Ping pointed at the crowd, then patted himself on the chest and said, "Everyone, this is why I'm here."

"What?" Qin Bingan asked puzzled.

Liu Ping walked in front of him, stared at him and said, "All the problems are related to the method you practiced, isn't that so?"

"Yes." Qin Bingan said.

Liu Ping said: "Tell me your method, and then tell me the problem, and I will solve it."

"This is impossible! You are obviously a cultivator, and I am not in the same power system at all." Qin Bingan lost his voice.

Liu Ping smiled silently, lowered his voice and said:

"Listen, in heaven and earth, if there is a cultivation problem that even I can't solve, there is only one reason—"

"The title is wrong."
