The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 749 - 521: Chairman: Whatever the company gives you, Iโll give you 10 times_2
In reality, some people describe the feeling of good cushioned shoes as "stepping on shit." By analogy, Liu Zheng felt like he had stepped into the shit of the Howling Celestial Dog. ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ธ๐ซ๐๐ก.๐ฌ๐ธ๐
The big and greasy pile of shit quickly moved away as well, causing his center of gravity to shift forward, nearly making him lose his balance.
Fortunately, he still had two tentacles.
The tentacle holding the Dragon Scale Blade twisted into a braid, changing a horizontal slash into a downward stab. The Dragon Scale Blade pierced into the Fungal Blanket, stabilizing Liu Zhengโs stance.
He blinked twice, blood tears continuously flowing and leaving two shocking streaks on his face, yet his vision quickly recovered.
Liu Zheng looked ahead, not far away, Doppler was lowering his head to inspect his pant leg, where there was a footprint so clear it was like it had been printed.
"Do you know how much it costs to clean this suit?"
Doppler said with a pained expression.
"Probably not as pricey as your life."
He shrugged.
"Indeed."
Doppler nodded, grasping the two-handed sword with both hands and dragging the sharp sword along the ground to his right side.
"Then pay with your life."
He charged forward fiercely, the swordโs tip dragging along the soft Fungal Blanket, sparking in its wake.
Liu Zheng held his breath, focusing intently on Dopplerโs every move.
The earlier bout had given him a feeling reminiscent of "Holy Sword" Beethoven.
Only, Dopplerโs physical attributes were stronger, and his extraordinary methods were more varied.
In a way, both of their weapons were somewhat similar, and unsurprisingly, their swordsmanship wouldnโt differ much either.
In an instant, Doppler was before Liu Zheng.
He swung both hands, the two-handed sword arcing from below toward Liu Zhengโs face.
Liu Zheng slightly tilted his head back, neither retreating nor seizing the opportunity to strike Doppler, but instead raising the sawtoothed butcher knife above his head.
Sure enough, the swordโs tip grazed past his right jaw, brushed his nose, then his right eye, did a full circle in the air, and chopped downwards.
"Clang!"
Another sound of metal clashing.
This time Liu Zheng sturdily blocked the blow, and while the opponent was unable to recover, he angled the Insect Killing Voodoo Dagger to stab at the opponentโs neck.
The Insect Killing Voodoo Daggerโs attack power naturally couldnโt match the Dragon Scale Blade, nor the sawtoothed butcher knife.
But there was no choice; the distance made it inconvenient to use the Dragon Scale Blade, and kicking was less effective than stabbing with the dagger.
Moreover, the Insect Killing Dagger, after all, was of excellent quality equipment, its basic sharpness was still present.
As long as he could stab the opponentโs body, it should be able to break through the defense.
Sure enough, faced with the neck stab, Doppler dared not resist, quickly lowering his head to block the blade with his hat.
The dagger pierced the brim, giving off that familiar sensation of piercing shit.
However, stabbing was different from stepping, the dagger broke through the invisible shit barrier, piercing Dopplerโs scalp.
"Merde!"
Feeling the sting on his head, Doppler cursed under his breath, releasing one hand from the sword to swat away the dagger.
Liu Zheng also used the momentum to retreat, glancing sideways at the daggerโs tip stained with a touch of crimson.
Doppler touched his head, his fingertips also stained with red.
"Have you learned two-handed swordsmanship?"
He asked.
"No."
"Then how did you know I would change my move like that?"
Doppler interrogated.
"Probably because I sparred with a master of this swordsmanship before."
Liu Zheng answered vaguely.
Although the opponent wasnโt from City Hall, he couldnโt reveal what happened outside the border.
"Whatโs his name?"
Doppler pressed on.
"You wouldnโt know even if I told you."
"Impossible, I know all the living masters of two-handed swordsmanship in the Metropolis, and over half of the dead ones were killed by me."
Doppler boasted proudly.
"How many places have you actually been to in the Metropolis to make such a grand statement?"
Liu Zheng scoffed.
"Then tell me, if I really donโt know, Iโll give you a chance to attack first."
Doppler enticed.
"Why so persistent? Are you looking for a fellow enthusiast to date? Just so you know, the master is a man."
He looked at the opponent with a strange expression.
"Thatโs something you donโt need to know. Just tell me, or Iโll split your head open and stuff your scalp up your nostrils."
Doppler threatened.
Of course, he wouldnโt tell Liu Zheng that he wanted information on the two-handed sword master to find and eliminate him.
This was one of his methods of practice, killing powerful users of two-handed swords and absorbing their strength.
The reason other living two-handed sword masters were still alive wasnโt due to good relations with Doppler, but because they were stronger than him.
"Come on, Iโm feeling like my brain needs some air."
Liu Zheng remained unafraid.
"Looks like you really have a death wish."
Dopplerโs gaze turned cold, hands alternating on the sword hilt, making the two-handed sword form an X-pattern in front of him.
Invisible currents swirled around the sword blade, and as it swung faster, the sound of the wind grew louder.
"Sword DanceยทFire Dragon Tornado!"
Doppler took a deep breath, puffed up his cheeks, and blew out.
A burst of blazing fire was caught in the sword-created wind; the wind fueled the fire, and the fire lent power to the wind, quickly spawning a forward-rolling flaming tornado.
Doppler relentlessly advanced towards Liu Zheng, the fire dragon opening its jaws to consume him.
Before it even got close, Liu Zheng was already smelling the scent of scorching. The blood flowing on his body surface evaporated under the high heat, leaving behind vivid crimson tracks.
Sensing the devastating threat, his mind raced.
Using the "Iron Block" skill to resist wouldnโt be effective, given the momentum, not to mention hardened flesh and blood, even a body of steel would melt.
If he used an item, Liu Zheng had more options.
The "Universe in a Pole" from the "Temporarily Reinforced Dragon Fishing Pole" would certainly work; he didnโt believe that his repeatedly boosted Luck Value would be outdone by this unfortunate wretch.
The transformation into a demon using "Seven Deadly SinsยทAnger" should also be viable, as the big move from a Perfect quality equipment limited to once per instance wouldnโt be much weaker than that of a Perfect quality one-time-use item.
Since the laser pen could instantly defeat the Round God Sectโs bishop Garcia, an Angry Demon could surely eliminate a black market mercenary like Doppler.
The "Observed" skill combined with Garciaโs third eye was the perfect pairing; scaring Doppler to death might even be possible.
So which one to use?
Liu Zhengโs gaze pierced the fiery tornado, looking toward the distant Insect Tower.
He thought of another question.
For the culture of Green Turf, was it more important to wipe out this rival companyโs management or to eliminate its self-established president?
With a change in thought, Liu Zheng arrived at the answer.
"The name of that two-handed sword master is Chopin!"
He suddenly shouted.
His voice was loud as thunder, yet Doppler acted like he didnโt hear a thing.
After all, being a high-level bodyguard for the black market, he wouldnโt fall for such a trick.
Of course, it wasnโt entirely without effect.
Hearing about a new two-handed sword master he had been searching for a long time did ripple through his mind.
"Great opportunity!"
Liu Zhengโs eyes widened, electric-like sharpness flashing in his pupils.
"Observe!"
The brilliance shot into Dopplerโs eyes, making him freeze as if electrocuted, halting his movements.
"Player wins the mental confrontation, โObserveโ skill successfully activated."
The system notification sounded.
"I bet right!"
Liu Zheng was overjoyed, seized the rare chance to pull out a missile shaped like a shark.
The sharkโs teeth were dyed completely red with blood, looking mighty and fierce, well fitting the name of this missile.
"Dodge!"
Accompanied by the prearranged signal, he spat out the Anti-explosive Bubble Gum he had been holding in his mouth, which now became a giant white bubble covering most of Liu Zhengโs body.
Then, regardless of Shui Sishisanโs reaction, he smashed the big red button on the missileโs tail with a tentacle-formed fist.
