It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 700 Liu Zheng: I'll Slay the Demon King in the Future
"Dragon's Roar Golden Bell Shield!"

Caught off guard, his trusted aide had no choice but to resort to his most trump card.

With a dragon's roar, his entire body was enveloped in bell-shaped golden light.

Unfortunately, in the face of the combined Blood Arrow that sacrifices a fine tool and an entire tentacle, Dragon Roar Golden Bell Shield alone is far from enough; at least Tiger Roar Iron Shirt must be added as well.

In the confidant's despairing gaze, the green arrow pierced through the golden light, and then through his chest.

Then, he turned into a pool of pus and blood.

"The Five Virtues of Benevolence" will reduce fatal damage, but the poison damage from "Green Splash Gum" is continuous.

After penetrating layers of defense, the Green Arrow's power was finally worn down, leaving only the arrowhead.

"Blade energy protects the body!"

Seeing that the arrow was about to hit him, the security captain immediately activated his protective sword energy.

The cyan blade energy left his body and annihilated the remaining power of the green arrow.

"call!"

The security captain breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, back then, in order to make up for the shortcomings of his own swordsmanship, he tried his best to learn this sword aura protection move, otherwise he would have really fallen into this trap today.

It's just a pity about that trusted confidant. That guy is usually quite efficient, and he's also good at flattery.

However, he also saw the person who had just attacked him, but with a formidable enemy at hand, he couldn't spare the time to deal with him now. He would deal with the guy slowly after everything was over.

"I wield my sword and laugh at all the heroes!"

The security captain finally finished gathering his strength, and the fully drawn sword was enveloped in a solidified sword aura.

No one doubted that this strike would be enough to cut through the entire building.

"One strike cleaves the eight wastelands!"

The security captain locked his aura onto Liu Zheng and then slashed out with his sword.

However, just as he swung the long sword halfway through, he suddenly looked at his chest, his face turning ashen.

His chest appeared normal, but only he knew that there was something extra inside his heart.

Along with the pain came difficulty breathing. The rapid increase in pressure within the pericardium prevented the heart from contracting and relaxing normally, and the lungs also began to feel stuffy.

"Huh! Ha!"

The security captain was breathing heavily. His face, which had just been flushed from the rush of blood and energy, had turned pale. Beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead and dripped onto the floor.

Should one resolutely swing the sword or sheathe it to save one's life? The choice is not difficult.

What a security captain! He sliced ​​open his own chest with the blade facing inward, exposing his bright red heart nakedly to the air.

He then used his sword energy to cut open his heart, removed the marbles inside, and before the bleeding could stop, he inserted a syringe into his heart.

The green liquid was injected into the heart, and hair-like plant fibers immediately grew from the cut, automatically pulling the wound together and stitching it up.

After doing all this, the security captain fainted due to lack of oxygen and the backlash from the sword energy.

"The captain has fainted, so I'll be in charge now!"

A security guard with fangs, but whose identity as a vampire or orc was unclear, stepped forward.

If his trusted confidant is still alive, he should be able to recognize that the voice sounds very similar to the voice of the person who just pushed him.

And this person was one of the deputy captains of the security team.

He glanced discreetly at the unconscious security captain, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not take the opportunity to attack him.

The main problem is that he's not the only deputy captain. Getting rid of the security captain doesn't necessarily mean he'll rise to power; it could backfire and cause trouble for himself.

"Your captain has already been taken down by me, are you still going to put up a stubborn resistance?"

Liu Zheng asked, fiddling with a marble.

"The 'Endless Branches' effect is activated, and the player obtains a copy of the 'Giant Marble (One-Time Use)'."

"As long as one of us is standing, we absolutely cannot let you pass."

The vice-captain's expression changed slightly upon seeing the marbles, and he then spoke with righteous indignation.

"Do you want to live?"

he asked again.

"Is there anyone in this world who wants to die?"

"The vice-captain said coldly."

"Oh, I understand."

Liu Zheng cut off another tentacle and put it in his mouth to chew.

"Be careful, you won't survive if your head gets shot through."

He mumbled a reminder and then charged forward.

After a flurry of swords and arrows, Liu Zheng finally broke through the enemy lines and reached the end of the corridor.

Ignoring the wails of pain behind him, he rushed straight to the principal's office.

I grabbed the doorknob and turned it, and unsurprisingly, it was locked from the inside.

Without hesitation, he turned his back and delivered a kick.

The heavy wooden door shook violently, but the lock showed no sign of opening.

Liu Zheng frowned, about to kick again, when a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

"Ohma Mirai, I brought you the takeout your grandpa ordered. Would you like to sign for it?"

he asked loudly.

There was no sound coming from the principal's office, but he just felt that the "door" didn't look so sturdy anymore.

"Oh!"

Liu Zheng didn't use the "kicking" technique again; instead, he kicked the door open with a straight kick.

The spacious principal's office was now packed with people: some in suits, some in executive jackets, some in fur coats, and some completely naked.
The one that was completely naked had a smooth head, and its eyes had no pupils, only a cloudy, milky white.

It has four tentacles near its mouth, and its face is raised to form a pointed protrusion on the top of its head, making it more like a squid than an octopus.

Its body is pale purple, and its skin is like cold, elastic rubber, covered with a layer of reflective mucus.

At this moment, this disgusting creature in every sense of the word is crouching beside a female student who is tied to a chair, trying to burrow one of its tentacles into the student's ear.

If nothing unexpected happens, this creature is the Mind Flayer that the school hired, and this female student is Oma Miku.

Beneath her fluffy black short hair, her ruby-like eyes were now dull and lifeless, and her face was expressionless, like a delicate lifelike doll.

But when Liu Zheng rushed into the principal's office, her gaze still involuntarily turned towards him.

"Eyewitness account!"

Without hesitation, he used his fastest skill.

Sensing the fluctuations in spiritual power, a purple light also appeared in the mind-stealer's white eyes.

"Well"

The mental battle was silent yet even more dangerous. Liu Zheng, who had just been covered in wounds without even lifting his eyelids, let out a muffled groan as thin streams of blood flowed from his nostrils and ear canals.

After multiple upgrades, his mental attributes have far surpassed those of ordinary people, but they are still not enough compared to the Mind Flayer, who specializes in mental power.

Fortunately, the mind-reading spell requires a very specific environment, and with his interruption, the Mind Flayer abandoned its plan to continue casting the spell and withdrew its tentacles.

However, it still placed its long, sharp claws on Oma Mirai's head.

"No matter how much money they offer you, I'll pay double."

Liu Zheng took out a pile of money and threw it on the ground.

"You don't have to help me, but if you dare to help them, I guarantee I'll kill you and leave you with nowhere to go."

He pointed his knife at the Mind-Stealing Demon and said.

Liu Zheng wasn't bragging. With his current connections, no matter where the Mind Destroyer escapes to—whether it's the Old City, the Ten Thousand Mountains, the Great Desert, or even the Deep Sea Empire—he has a way to find it.

The Mindbreaker stared at the scattered hundred-yuan bills on the ground, its eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought.

"This is private property, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. You'd better leave right now, or I'll call the police."

A middle-aged man in an executive jacket stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

Liu Zheng looked at him and asked.

"I am the principal."

The middle-aged man in the jacket replied.

"So you're the principal. You're such a grotesque person, no wonder the students you teach are all bastards and worthless scum."

He glanced at the principal and said disdainfully.

"What did you say?!"

The principal was furious.

Since he became the principal, everyone has treated him with utmost respect. Even city officials treat him with deference, and no one has ever dared to curse him to his face, let alone curse him so rudely.

"Director Li, gather all the school's security guards here. Anyone who dares not to come will be fired. Whoever takes down this kid will receive a long-term contract plus 300,000 yuan in cash!"

The principal spoke to the man in the suit next to him.

Are you sure it's not too late to call for help now?

Liu asked with a strange expression.

As the saying goes, "When a common man is angry, blood will be spilled five steps away." Given his stride length, the distance between the two is now less than five steps.

Are you sure you can make it?

The principal sneered.

"Then give it a try."

Liu Zheng cut off a small piece of a tentacle, stuffed it into his mouth, and then it turned into a jet of blood that spurted out.

The blood arrow had barely flown two steps when it was stopped by an invisible wall.

The usually invincible true damage failed this time, and the blood arrow exploded into a spray of blood.

"Ok?"

He frowned slightly.

"The highest-grade force field blast wall won't be able to break through your little tricks, not even a delayed-explosion fireball. Young man, I advise you to leave now, or you'll be the one having your mind read."

The principal said smugly.

Delayed Burst Fireball, a seventh-circle spell, is the strongest area-of-effect spell for Evocation mages, nicknamed the Great Clear Spell.

As for how powerful it is, you only need to know that it has the same fire damage as the ninth-ring spell "Meteor Explosion".

If you use the super magic technique, the power of the Delayed Burst Fireball can be further enhanced. Moreover, both the casting materials and the casting time are much lower than Meteor Blast, making it an essential spell for Evocation Mages for both home and travel, and for killing and setting fires.

As for why such advanced security measures are needed in a principal's office, only the principal himself knows.

"Really? I don't believe it."

Liu Zheng said calmly.

He wasn't worried about being besieged by the school security guards. He and the panda could definitely break through together. At worst, they could just take off the phoenix cloak and go on a killing spree.

But how to break down this wall in front of us is indeed a problem.

The item description for "Giant Marble" states that the item will appear directly in the target's heart, but whether this "direct appearance" can bypass the force field blast wall is a question.

Moreover, even if he successfully shot the "giant marble" into the principal's heart, it's not poison, and he can't use the deciphering to threaten the other party into releasing the person.

The "Citizen's Last Will Recorder" might be able to break the force field blast wall, but it can only be activated after death. Using up a life just to break through a barrier is a bit of a waste.

If you want to break it by force, you need to use a "bloody restaurant chef's whetstone" plus "edible coal" to enhance the sharpness and fire damage of "rage" at the same time, and then use "kicking" to strengthen the power while holding the knife between your hooves.

If all else fails, pay some rationality points to transform into an "angry demon" and demolish the entire building.

"Oh right, and that one too!"

Liu Zheng slapped his forehead, and a drop of shimmering lamp oil appeared on his tentacle.

Name: Magic Lamp Oil (Disposable)

Type: Item

Quality: Excellent

"Effect: After use, it can grant the player one wish. If it exceeds the power of the lamp oil, it will be ineffective and the lamp oil will disappear."

"Note: I need three more drops of lamp oil! Okay, now you don't have a single drop left."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

"I wish to remove all the defenses between me and Oma Mirai."

He spoke to the lamp oil.

Liu Zheng did not directly wish for Oma Miku to be transferred to his side, because that would increase the difficulty of making a wish and make it more likely to be invalid.

"I will grant your wish."

The lamp oil burned automatically, and in the flame appeared a figure that bore a striking resemblance to the genie, pointing towards Oma Mirai.

All invisible obstacles were removed, and a smooth path opened up between Liu Zheng and Feng Mo's future.

"Thank you."

Liu Zheng said politely, and then rushed towards the Demon Future.

"Director Li, stop him!"

As expected of the principal, after the initial shock, he immediately shielded the man in the suit in front of him.

"Ah I?"

The man in the suit looked troubled.

To say he has no ability at all would be an exaggeration.

Metropolis is, after all, a place where the strong rule. If your strength is far inferior to your subordinates, no matter how strong your background is, you won't be able to hold onto your leadership position.

But asking the man in the suit to stop Liu Zheng would be asking too much of a question.

Even with the security captain and so many security guards, they couldn't stop this guy. What kind of ability does a mere administrative director like him have?
"Mr. Li?"

The principal knew he couldn't be relied on, so he turned his attention to the man in the fur coat.

“Principal Feng, it’s bad enough that my son was poisoned at your school, but now you’re making me handle security too? Isn’t that going too far?”

The fur-clad man sighed.

"One spot for admission without examination and free of charge."

The principal quoted a price.

"make a deal."

The fur-clad man instantly appeared in front of Oma Mirai, then struck her on the top of the head with a palm strike.

The Mind Flayer hesitated for a moment, but then stepped aside.

"you dare!"

Liu Zheng shouted and spat out a mouthful of blood.

However, the arrow wasn't pointing at the furry man, but at Oma Miku's heart.

He promised Hachijou-sama that he would protect his granddaughter, and even if Oma was going to die, she could only die by his hand.

"Ok?"

This unexpected move puzzled the fur-clad man. After a moment's hesitation, he still slapped the blood arrow downwards with his palm.

"I knew you didn't really want to kill her."

Liu Zheng sneered, leaped into the air, and swung his knife at the fur-covered man's head.

If the furry man wanted to kill Oma Mirai, he should have done so when Oma Mirai deactivated the force field blast wall, instead of waiting for the principal to ask for help.

"You're quite clever, but it's a pity that clever people always die young."

The fur-clad man also sneered, raising one palm to the sky, accompanied by the sounds of dragons and tigers.
