Chapter 462: Chapter 377 Your Elevator is Quite a Waste of Employees_2

"If that’s the case, there is a way."

The Blood Warrior said thoughtfully after a moment.

"Oh? What is it?"

Liu Zheng asked eagerly.

"Your Excellency has asked me so much, shouldn’t you give me an answer first?"

The Blood Warrior countered.

"Understood. Come on, don’t spare me because you owe me a favor."

He drew his Slaughter Knife and boning knife, ready for battle.

"Your Excellency hasn’t done me any favors yet, so it seems a bit premature to say that."

The Blood Warrior was visibly annoyed by Liu’s out-of-place words and actions.

Without further words, he sprinted forward and leapt up, landing above Liu Zheng’s head.

"Ha!"

As he started falling, he suddenly let out a roar and sprayed a blood-red character from his mouth.

"Buzz!!!"

The character hit the long knife, instantly causing it to tremble violently.

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards like stones thrown into a pond, one circle after another.

And Liu Zheng, affected by the sound waves, began to tremble as well, with creases forming on his casual clothes.

"Heavenly Sound Killing Style·Sound Slash Unrivaled!"

The Blood Warrior shouted the name of the technique.

The Heavenly Sound Killing Style was his sect’s name. Although each generation could take several disciples, only one could inherit the title "Hero" and shout out the names of the techniques in battle.

In reality, shouting out technique names is just for style or to make an impression on the audience.

But in the Metropolis, the name of something is its essence.

Shouting out the technique’s name is to wield its true strength.

True to form, as the Blood Warrior shouted the technique’s name, the invisible sound wave expanded tenfold, as if a small boy had turned into a giant Ivan.

Not only was Liu Zheng pressed to the ground, but even the blood clouds above rolled tumultuously.

"Now is the moment!"

The Blood Warrior whispered, and then spun the "Corpse Killing Pill" around his waist.

The sound waves spreading outward were gathered by the Sword Energy, forming a massive sound barrier.

Liu Zheng’s body also stopped trembling, with only a faint echo remaining.

Upon hearing the Blood Warrior, he quickly forced himself to take out his phone and dial.

Despite the casual outfit not being damaged, the outline it left revealed much.

However, the Blood Warrior’s focus was all on the edge of the blade, seemingly ignoring Liu Zheng altogether.

"Hello... hello?"

Liu Zheng didn’t care about the Blood Warrior’s reaction and made the call, and the other side answered with choppy noise.

"Old man, it’s me."

He quickly spoke up loudly.

"I know it’s you, scamp, what do you want from me?"

The Jade Grasshopper shouted back even louder.

"I have a friend who used to be a Walking Corpse. He killed his wife and child and absorbed their souls. Is there still a chance to save them?"

For the sake of brevity, Liu Zheng spoke in a straightforward manner.

As for phrasing, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

"What do you mean ’used to be a Walking Corpse’?"

The Blood Warrior’s eyebrows twitched upon hearing this.

It was as if being a Walking Corpse was some kind of job; moreover, a dishonorable one at that.

Well, thinking about it, it seemed there wasn’t much issue.

"Does he dream?"

The Jade Grasshopper asked after listening.

"Huh?"

"Just ask him, don’t worry about it," the Jade Grasshopper said impatiently.

"Alright. Do you dream?"

Liu Zheng asked the Blood Warrior.

"I...dream."

The Blood Warrior answered honestly.

"Are his wife and children facing him or their backs to him in the dreams?"

The Jade Grasshopper asked, apparently able to hear the Blood Warrior.

"Are your wife and children facing you or their backs to you in your dreams?"

"They are... with their backs to me."

After considering carefully, the Blood Warrior answered.

"Oh, then there’s hope."

The Jade Grasshopper made his judgment.

"Why is it that if they are facing away from him, there’s hope?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"If he were facing them, then what he would see are merely the memories of them. But if he were facing away, it would mean that the souls of his wife and children haven’t been completely absorbed yet, and because of the mutual repulsion of souls, they cannot meet with him."

Jade Grasshopper explained.

"I see, I understand now."

I’ve learned another piece of useless magical knowledge.

"Sir, it’s almost time to end this."

Blood Warrior said.

"Then I’ll hang up first."

Just as Liu Zheng hung up the phone, Blood Warrior suddenly brandished his sword.

Sound waves of different frequencies sliced into the sound barrier, immediately disrupting the balance and causing all the sound waves to burst explosively.

"Crack!"

The sound was sharp like shattering glass, fleeting, and caused his head to hurt, followed by trickles of fresh blood flowing from his seven orifices.

"Be careful, Sir, this is the third slash."

Blood Warrior took a deep breath, leaned forward, then lifted his long sword, pointing it straight at Liu Zheng, with the back of the sword resting in the palm of his hand.

"Heavenly Sound Killing Style Wave Slash!"

He took a step forward, the surrounding sound waves that had not dissipated were automatically attracted to his body, then blasted backwards, propelling him forward like a rocket booster.

"So fast."

Even though Blood Warrior had warned him in advance, facing such a swift and elegant slash like riding the waves, Liu Zheng was still unable to dodge.

Or rather, he didn’t want to dodge.

If it’s not a battle to the death, then it’s just a friendly competition.

And in a friendly competition, winning or losing isn’t the most important thing; the most important is to overpower the opponent in terms of momentum.

Facing this unstoppable slash, Liu Zheng also took a step forward and extended his arms in an embracing motion.

"Puchi!"

Blood Warrior did not hold back; ’Corpse Killing Pill’ pierced directly through the area of his heart.

The murderous aura attached to it erupted instantly, freezing his heart solid.

"What a pity."

Blood Warrior shook his head regretfully.

Although he had no desire to kill Liu Zheng, both his samurai dignity and his duty did not permit any deliberate leniency.

Moreover, he had actually shown restraint, not using the true killing move of Heavenly Sound Killing Style, and the true form of the ’Corpse Killing Pill’ wasn’t released either.

"Pity what?"

Liu Zheng, who was just feigning death with a tilted head, raised his head and asked.

"Eh? Sir, you’re not dead?"

Blood Warrior said in surprise.

"There are too many people who want my life, you’re not even on the list."

He said bluntly.

The costume was just a disguise for his appearance and didn’t restrict the ability of ’Blood and Flesh Rebirth’.

And something like a pierced heart doesn’t even count as a serious injury.

As long as it’s not completely crushed, within a few breaths, Liu Zheng’s body would automatically re-establish another blood circulation path on its original foundation.

"In that case, you’ve passed the test."

Blood Warrior didn’t take offense and pulled his long sword out from Liu Zheng’s chest.

"Does every employee have to go through such a trial when taking the elevator?"

Liu Zheng asked with a pained grin on his face.

You won’t die, but it still hurts.

Especially the damage caused by the murderous aura, the pain goes right to the soul.

"Of course."

Blood Warrior said.

"Then your elevator is really a workforce killer."

He said with eyes half-closed.

Although he didn’t know the true strength of Blood Warrior, he felt it wouldn’t be inferior to Doctor Nile.

If every employee had to fight with Blood Warrior before taking the elevator, being understaffed was inevitable.

And there were two more of these elevators.

"There are many forms of trials. Regular employees only need to answer those three questions and then be intimidated by the murderous aura on a spiritual level."

"It is because your answer piqued my interest that I came out in person to meet you."

Blood Warrior said.

"I get it, I’ve triggered a special scenario."

As an experienced RPG player, Liu Zheng immediately thought of the appropriate descriptor.

"Although I don’t understand what you’re saying, Sir, that’s roughly the idea."

"My friend said, there’s a good chance of saving your wife and children."

He said while holding his chest.

"That’s great!"

Blood Warrior said excitedly.

"If Sir can help me resurrect my wife and daughter, I will grind myself to dust and repay you with my life."

He bowed deeply.

"Sure thing. But, you better keep your promise about teaching me the fast-track sword technique first."

Liu Zheng smiled craftily.
