Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

Chapter 556 Wipe away the nosebleed before showing off.

"Hey bro, can I borrow something else?"

Liu Zheng put on a smiling face.

"Your change of heart is faster than a psychopath's. I won't lend it to you."

The cattle and horses resolutely refused.

"Boss, you heard it too. This is a task assigned by the boss. I have no choice."

He complained.

"What does the work your boss assigns you have to do with me?"

The cattle and horses remained unmoved.

“There are only two of us in the delivery department. If I mess things up, how will you fare? Not to mention, if I get fined so badly that I can't deliver anymore, you'll have to do the deliveries yourself.”

Liu Zheng explained the pros and cons involved.

Since he arrived, except for the few times when they were implicated by him, the workload of the oxen and horses has decreased dramatically.

Not to mention the orders placed by his acquaintances, even the mandatory delivery orders are basically never delivered by cattle or horses.

The cattle and horses basically just stay in the rest room every day to fatten up, and they can even get extra money without doing anything. They live a life more like leaders than the leaders.

Otherwise, why would the white-feathered chicken be so envious and jealous?

"That's all, really all. The rest were things I planned to keep as family heirlooms."

The oxen and horses grumbled.

"You don't even have kids yet, what family heirloom are you talking about? Hurry up, or I'll trade that walnut for it."

"I already gave it to you, so why not exchange it?"

The oxen and horses pretended not to care.

"Then you'll never know what's inside a walnut!"

He drawled out his words.

"You're threatening me, kid?"

The ox and horse glared at each other.

"Who threatened you? I'm just stating the facts. You can't expect me to prioritize your curiosity over the boss's tasks, can you?"

Liu Zheng said.

"Don't try to intimidate me with the boss's name. I was working for the boss before you were even born."

Niu Ma sneered.

“I was just saying. If you were so quick to look down, you wouldn’t be able to see the sky outside the farm.”

He smiled and said.

Liu Zheng's current tactics of coercing and bribing Niu Ma are no longer for the sake of achieving results, but simply for the sake of bickering.

"You don't know anything. I just had a stiff neck and couldn't bend it."

The ox and horse rolled their eyes at him.

"hey-hey."

Liu Zheng smiled noncommittally.

Whether it's true or false, only the cattle and horses themselves know the truth.

No matter how many warriors the dragon kills, it can never kill the self that once wanted to slay the dragon.

"This is all I have. You'd better not give it away. If you do, you'll have to return it with something that satisfies me. Don't try to fool me with money or something I don't need."

Just when he thought he had failed in his attempt to fleece the cattle and horses, the cattle and horses suddenly spoke.

Then, it spat out a piece of metal from its mouth.

The metal sheet landed vertically and easily embedded itself in the hard, steel-like ground.

A menacing aura emanated from it, making Liu Zheng's hair stand on end. He instinctively took out his rusty knife and butcher's knife and gripped them in his hands.

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a piece of scrap metal. You've seen so many important people, why are you afraid of such a dead thing?"

The ox and horse mocked.

"That's because those big shots didn't really want to kill me, but this piece of scrap metal might be different."

Liu Zheng retorted.

As a hybrid of a black goat cub who also enjoys devouring flesh and blood, he sensed the presence of his kind emanating from this piece of metal.

However, he was indeed a veteran, and after the initial stress, he returned to normal.

Liu Zheng picked up the metal piece, and its sharp aura sliced ​​through his tentacles. The blood that flowed onto the metal piece was immediately swallowed by it.

"More! I want more! Give me your flesh and blood, and become my slave!"

A broken but fierce will invaded his mind along his bloodstream.

"What kind of thing dares to become my master? Did they even ask the big shots who stamped my name for me?"

Liu Zheng sneered.

He raised his tentacles, and countless face-like patterns emerged from the surface.

This is the murderous aura and resentment sealed within him by the jade cricket from the "Gaga Shuang" bathhouse, which now automatically surfaced due to the stimulation of the killing soldiers.

Liu Zheng swung his rusty knife, making a chopping motion towards the metal sheet.

In his mind, the human version of him also gripped the Dragon Scale Blade and looked at the uninvited will.

"Crench!"

A hoarse, unpleasant sound, like teeth grinding together, rang out. The will was repelled by Liu Zheng, and the fierce aura shrouding the metal plate temporarily subsided.

"You think you can eat me, a mere inanimate object? If I weren't having an upset stomach lately, I would have chewed you up and passed you out right now."

He said proudly.

"Could you wipe your nosebleed before you start showing off?"

The cattle and horses on the side complained.

"Huh? Haha, sorry, I've been feeling a bit feverish lately."

Liu Zheng wiped away the blood and some other liquid mixture from his nose with his sleeve.

He looked at the metal piece and realized that it was actually the tip of a knife, with a perfectly smooth cut, indicating that it had been severed by another powerful weapon.

A bone was also embedded in the blade; judging from its shape, it should be a spine.

Name: Fragments of Tiger Soul

Type: Miscellaneous Items

Quality: Perfect

"Effect: Can be used to forge equipment or cultivate the path of killing."

Note: Yellow Emperor! How are you going to repay what you owe me?!

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

"Awesome."

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

Even just the tip of the blade is of perfect quality; if this were the complete Tiger Soul, it would at least be legendary or higher.

I knew that Niu Ma had been swindling and cheating all these years, so he must have some good stuff in his hands.

"Hmph, good to know. If I didn't realize I'd never be able to collect all the fragments in my lifetime, I wouldn't lend this to you even if you gave me ten million."

Niu Ma snorted coldly.

With the Bronze Bull Head in hand, if it were to acquire the Tiger Soul, its strength would be enough to easily defeat not only Oink but also the White Feather Chicken and the British.

"Does every big shot have these parts that they can never collect?"

Liu Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't that obvious? If you live long enough and have enough strength, you're bound to get your hands on some strange and unusual things. We herbivores have a low hoarding tendency, but you carnivores will try to piece together a skeleton even if you find a bone."

"The cows and horses complained."

"To be precise, am I an omnivore?"

he corrected.

Besides, cattle and horses are nothing but herbivores; they eat meat even more happily than humans.

"What does it mean to be able to cultivate the Path of Slaughter?"

Liu Zheng asked again.

"Didn't you just get the short end of the stick?"

The cattle and horses returned.

"The material of this knife is extremely malevolent, and its owner was an unparalleled killing god, so it contains extremely refined killing intent. As long as you know the method of cultivating the way of killing by using the malevolence of weapons, and can withstand the burden, your cultivation of the way of killing will naturally progress by leaps and bounds."

"That's amazing! Then why didn't you use it, big shot?"

"When I got this thing, I was already quite strong. With just this one blade tip, I won't be able to master it and it'll be useless. If I manage to collect all the fragments by then, but I can't piece together Tiger Soul because this one piece is useless, then I'll have lost both my wife and my army."

The ox and horse grunted.

Is this how you use this word?

He looked strange.

Forget it, we can't expect too much from a wife who's only good at giving secondhand idioms.

"Can I use it then?"

Liu Zheng was somewhat expectant.

With his limited strength, he shouldn't be able to have any effect on the Tiger Soul Fragment, right?

"It works."

"Then, could you teach me how to use it?"

Liu Zheng said shamelessly.

"I can't teach it. I don't even know how myself."

The ox and horse shook their heads.

"Then you just said you would ruin the Tiger Soul Fragment?"

"When I say I can, it means I know how. When I say I can't, it means I don't know how. It's like if you ask me how to break a steel plate, I can only tell you to kick it. I've taught you, have you learned it?"

While explaining, Niu and Ma didn't forget to mock him.

"Ok."

Liu Zheng sighed.

It seems that whether he wants to remove the seal on his killing intent or use the Tiger Soul fragment to cultivate the Way of Slaughter, he must first complete the samurai's request and obtain the whereabouts of the swordsmith from him.

Hmm, I'll ask the cemetery caretaker next time I go to the cemetery. I was too busy before and forgot about it.

Liu Zheng didn't actually believe he could collect all the Tiger Soul fragments, so using them to improve his strength was much more practical.

What? You're saying the Tiger Soul fragments belong to the ox or horse, not him?

Based on Liu Zheng's understanding of cattle and horses, anything they are willing to offer comes with a price.

"By the way, boss, I have a task assigned by my boss now, so can I leave the restaurant even if I don't have any orders?"

Liu Zheng suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"That's how it is in theory. But with your skills, I'm afraid you won't even be able to leave this street without a bill at night."

"The ox and horse said."
