537 Return of Liu Ping (1/2)

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.

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?'

'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!”
