Battle Royale of the Sinners

Chapter 537 - Return of Liu Ping

Liu Bei lost his will to live after he had been captured by Li Feihong. He thought that his career was over because of all otherworlders’ interference.

He blamed Tong and Li Feihong for it. He also blamed Sun Quan for supporting Tong

Liu Bei even blamed Lilim for not helping him when he needed her the most although he had vowed that he would be forever Lilim’s servant. She never communicated with him after she got his oath.

For a long time, Li Feihong imprisoned Liu Bei in a blank house - A house arrest. Liu Bei couldn’t catch a glimpse of his counterpart’s beautiful world.

He could hear various system notifications, immortal oaths of Li Feihong’s friends, and the happy conversation of local peasants, who had migrated to live in Li Feihong’s world.

Liu Bei envied these people. He hated them with a passion.

It wasn’t fair from Liu Bei’s point of view. He believed that he fought for them, but the people forsook him.

Now, he harbored nothing but hatred and grudge. He prayed that one day, he could have a power that could destroy his nemeses, including Tong, Sun Quan, Li Feihong, Lilim, and everyone who didn’t help him.

And one day, a savior arrived. An old soul of a sinister sage visited him.

Gan Ji sneered at Liu Bei without saying anything. The soul simply pierced Liu Bei’s chest with its hand. Then, it self-detonated.

Liu Bei died, just like that.

That was supposed to be the end of his chapters. However, he regained his sentience and consciousness.

A miracle happened! His soul didn’t die!

Unfortunately, Liu Bei’s memory was jumbled. Liu Ping’s soul fragments devoured Liu Bei’s weakened soul and transformed into something anew.

Liu Bei couldn’t recall his name, but he remembered something.

He remembered Tong’s face in the modern world. He could even draw Tong’s portrait with his thought.

Also, Liu Bei remembered another important information that he had neglected in the previous life - Liu Ping’s memory!

’Ping... I was once Ping... Liu Ping, the emperor.’

’Tong, I remember you. I remember that I hate you. I want to torture you. I want to kill you a hundred times.’

Liu Bei’s monster soul recalled himself as [Liu Ping]. He abandoned Liu Bei’s memory, but he took the identity of Liu Ping.

’But... where am I?’

Liu Ping’s vision blurred as he tried to observe his surroundings.

When he came to his senses, he found out a shocking development.

His body became a naked skeleton!

Surrounding himself, other skeletons were standing in a formation. They were gazing at the wall of arrow towers in front of them.

Liu Ping suppressed his shock and followed their eyes. In front of them, a zombie horde was attacking the chained watchtowers.

’Zombies? Skeletons?’

Modern knowledge slowly came back. Ping recalled about zombie movies and horror movies.

’An undead army? I’m one of them. But I remember that I was once a human. Why am I dead?’

Questions flooded Liu Ping’s mind. Yet, he wasn’t confused. Ping slowly adjusted to the new information and the current situation around himself.

’I see. I’m dead, and I’m now a skeleton soldier in this army. Are they doing something I don’t know?’

Ping observed the surroundings once more. As he looked around, he found a little angel girl with 7 wings with a longbow. She was looking back at him.

’???’

Something was not right about this girl. Ping could detect her malicious intent.

*PU*

An arrow hit his forehead. The arrowhead got stuck in his skull, but he wasn’t dead yet.

Ping’s survival instinct kicked in. He pretended to collapse on the ground and stop moving.

*PU* *PU*

*PU* *PU*

Hundreds of light arrows rained upon other skeletons. All of their skulls shattered into pieces upon touching with the homing magic.

Liu Ping had a chill running down his naked spine. He wanted to flee from this spot, but he was scared of the angel in the sky.

A familiar name came to him.

The Goddess of Death

’Do I know her? Have I seen her before?’

Another name also came to him along with the familiar title - Hua Shi.

’Hua Shi?’

Upon recalling the name, he remembered the experience when he was killed by Friday and Hua Shi at Jinyang Mountain Range. He was impaled by a spear and got burnt alive.

Phantom pain struck him. He could sense the burning pain and the torture that day.

When he sneak-peeked at the angel again, for a second, Liu Ping could see Hua Shi’s appearance overlapping with Sun Shangxiang.

’T-That’s her!’

Liu Ping recalled his murderer. His teeth clattered in anger and hatred. The fear in his mind dispersed as if they had never existed.

He wanted to tear her apart, but he was currently too weak.

Sun Shangxiang’s homing arrows were endless. Fortunately, she didn’t pay attention to any skeletons that had collapsed.

After a while, she retreated back to the fortress.

Ping stared at Sun Shangxiang’s back, frustrated by his powerlessness.

’I want to get stronger, but what can I do?’

The skeleton army was in tattered. The majority of the troops were destroyed.

"Clack! Clack!"

One of them picked up a bone from a fallen colleague. The leg bone looked fragile in its hands as the skeleton could snap them into pieces and shape it into whatever it wanted.

More bone warriors also copied its action. Several of them collected bones from their fallen colleagues and merged them into new weapons.

Ping was shocked. He sat up and tried as well.

A new discovery, his undead physical strength was on par with his old body with [Superior Plot Armor] skill buff. Ping could squeeze and crush a thigh bone with his weak-looking boney hands.

The crushed pieces also merged with his hand. Ping could sense that his mass got tougher, and his vitality soared.

’Interesting.’

Instead of making weaponry like to others, Ping busied himself destroying bone corpses and devoured everything to increase his strength.

Unfortunately, he had too many competitors. Friendly skeletons also snatched everything on the ground and crafted them into weapons and shields. They also didn’t forget to eat small fragmented bones to enhance their body as well.

In the end, Ping managed to eat 2 entire skeletons before everyone crossed the first moat.

Ping wanted to follow them at first, but he stopped his feet. As soon as he saw what bridge was made of, he had another idea.

’Corpses? So many corpses!’

Ping glanced at other skeleton soldiers. He pretended to lose his balance and fall into the moat. Then, he stopped moving, pretending to be dead.

All skeleton soldiers ignored him and marched forward.

When the army left him, Ping stood up and gazed at the corpse bridge in glee.

’Mine! It’s all mine!’

Ping began digging into the mountain of dead zombies, dissecting corpses for bones.

...

Several hours later, Ping lost count how many dead bodies he had eaten. His bones shone in a green light, and he could sense unknown energy within himself.

Ping could see everything in the dark, and he could even sense the surrounding without using his flame eyes.

Unbeknownst to himself, Ping acquired the strength of a 1-wing demon through an irregular method.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

The battle at a distance away got more intense. The ground shook several times, and the night sky got brighter.

At the moment, Lu Xun Army was burning the zombies at the second line of defense. Ping could even see the [Goddess of Death] flying around and shooting at his skeleton colleagues.

’Ha! I’ve made the right choice! Fighting in an unknown battle is stupid.’

Ping was glad that he deserted the army. Had he followed the others, he would have died a pointless death.

He kept on digging for more bones to eat.

...

*Rumble*

Ping stopped eating and peeked outside when he heard the footsteps of a large army.

On the surface, Lu Meng’s 30,000 soldiers reoccupied the second line of defense and surrounded the remaining skeleton soldiers. They were still a distance away from the corpse bridge.

’None of my business, then. They’re close, but they haven’t noticed me yet.’

Ping ignored Lu Meng’s activities and returned to his meal.

The food was plenty as countless zombies had died in this moat. This buffet boosted Ping’s vitality to the point that his skeleton hue turned dark green, and purple gas emitted from his body.

Now, he had the strength of a 2-wing demon, minus the curse abilities. Nonetheless, his corroding touch made up for his lack of soul skills.

The devour rate of Liu Ping got faster. He could absorb dead flesh and bones by just touching instead of breaking them into small fragments. Everything that Ping touched instantly melted and merged into his bones.

As if Ping was a black hole, 10,000 zombie corpses disappeared into his body instantly. The skeleton frame Ping slowly generated soft muscle, steadily regenerate his fleshly body.

Ping could sense the pain and numbness of his self-regeneration. Yet, he was delighted by the evolution ability.

"Clack! Clack!" Liu Ping laughed. His dream became reality as he acquired a new power - A power to fight against Tong and Hua Shi.

’Soon, Zhang Tong! I’ll find you, but I won’t kill you! I’ll capture your wives and rape them before you! I’ll turn them into my bitches right before your eyes! Then, I’ll kill your friends and your family right in front of you! I’ll make you beg me to kill you, but I won’t! I’ll cripple you and make your life a living hell!’

The malicious intent of Liu Ping erupted. The purple gas around him expanded and covered the entire first layer of the moat.

...

The expanding purple gas caught Lu Meng’s attention. The four-wing general flew from the second line mud wall to the first moat and scouted the area.

"What the hell?"

Alarmed by the phenomenon, Lu Meng cast all blessing skills on himself and tossed a torch into the moat to disperse to purple fog.

The gas dispersed for a moment, but it was enough for Lu Meng to find what inside was.

He found an odd green skeleton.

Without hesitation, he charged at Liu Ping.

As he dove down from the sky, he inhaled a bit of purple gas. As soon as the gas entered his lung, it corroded them as if they were acid fluid.

Lu Meng had to back off and sacrificed a few years of his lifespan to heal himself and drive away from poison gas.

The lone skeleton glared back at Lu Meng. He picked up a bamboo spear, but it melted in his hands.

The skeleton looked puzzled, but he smacked his forehead as if he had realized his mistake.

Seeing the behavior of the skeleton, Lu Meng concluded that this thing had intelligence and sentience. He passed on this intel to the clan chat, asking for assistance.

\u003c\u003cDing\u003e\u003e

Lu Meng: "One of the skeletons has slipped through our net! There’s a lurker at the first line watchtower wall! It didn’t march along with the others!!"

Lu Meng: "Be warned. This one can use poison gas ability. The purple gas is poisonous. Don’t breathe in when you’re nearby!"
