Chapter 77 The Thoughts of the Woman in Black_1

Xu Sheng furrowed his brows, half a year or even a year was a complete waste of his time.

It seems I need to find a way to increase the number of people killed in one go…

The two slowly walked into the Infernal Slaughterhouse, and what came into view was a crude circular center—the place where the slaughter happened—while the surrounding stands wrapped around layer by layer upward, similar to the structure of a grand soul fighting arena.

Xu Sheng turned to the black-clad woman beside him and said indifferently, "Do me a favor and sign up for me!"

The woman's face showed a trace of apology, "Sorry, to participate in the Infernal Slaughterhouse you first have to contribute a glass of Bloody Mary, otherwise you cannot sign up…"

When she had slaughtered those people before, she regretted not having collected some in advance, because even for herself, opportunities to get Bloody Mary were rare.

It could be said that each glass of Bloody Mary was extremely precious, but its use was exceedingly cheap.

Xu Sheng sneered coldly, "I remember you said before that we can't make a move while waiting, which means we can act after the match is over, right?"

The black-clad woman was stunned for a moment, then instinctively replied, "Yes, if you die after the match is over, no one will pursue it."

"Good," Xu Sheng's lips curved up silently…

Bloody Mary, as long as people in Slaughter City aren't wiped out, there would be as much as one wants…

For instance, Xu Sheng's gaze fell on the sole muscular man in the center of the slaughterhouse who had survived…

Afterward, he walked out of the arena slowly, with the Wolf Fang Club in his left hand, and a glass of Bloody Mary in his right…

It seemed he was extremely wary of those who aimed to take advantage of him right after his fight in the arena, hoping to profit from his hard work…

Xu Sheng's icy gaze locked onto him, and he slowly walked toward the man…

The muscular man glanced up and saw Xu Sheng coming his way; he gripped his Wolf Fang Club tighter, ready to retaliate without hesitation if Xu Sheng made a move...

Xu Sheng stopped a meter away from him, and his icy words spilled out, "Leave your Bloody Mary behind, then scram."

There was not an ounce of regard for the muscular man in his tone…

The man, staring at the cold Xu Sheng, couldn't help but break into a sweat…

What's with this kid, silently making me break out in cold sweat, and even my heart seems to throb uncontrollably.

Nevertheless, she couldn't allow herself to lose momentum and, steeling herself, she raised the Wolf Fang Club, aimed it at Xu Sheng's direction, and snapped, "Kid, are you looking for death?"

However, as his gaze shifted slightly backward, it fell on the black-clad woman standing behind Xu Sheng…

This woman only appeared beside newcomers, which meant the guy in front of him must be an easy mark!

With a secret cold laugh, he thought, "It turns out to be a newbie! Even though I can't initiate an attack, if this brat provokes me, he won't be protected!"

Xu Sheng's eyes showed no flicker of emotion, "It looks like you're not going to pay?"

The muscular man spoke disdainfully, "Kid, you must have just entered the Infernal Slaughterhouse, let me tell you…"

"Smack," the figure of Xu Sheng who vanished like Gui Mei had no fancy techniques; he simply reappeared instantly in front of the muscular man...

The latter, seeing Xu Sheng lunging at him, his pupils dilated suddenly, just about to swing the Wolf Fang Club, when he felt a tearing pain in his chest, and his eyes darkened as he lost consciousness and fell…

Xu Sheng's left hand quickly caught the Bloody Mary about to fall, while his right hand gave a slight squeeze, and the vigorously pulsing object in his palm burst suddenly…

Bright red liquid spread several layers of red halo on the ground…

He then handed the Blood Mary he held to the black-clad woman without giving the fallen man another glance…

He flicked the dripping blood from his hand and said, "Can you register me now?"

The woman in black blushed for no apparent reason, hastily taking the Bloody Mary to register him...

After handing the Bloody Mary to the registration staff, she looked down, her heart brimming with joy, "This man, although frightening, is so domineering..."

Having stayed in Slaughter City for so long, her mentality had long since become indifferent...

Yet today was the first time she had encountered a man who made her heart race...

Whether it was his strength or his looks, both were top-notch...

However, the expression on the face of the registration staff in front of her was extremely ugly, as he pushed the Bloody Mary back, "Sir, registration requires proof and a number, what you are doing now is putting me in a difficult position, isn't it?"

If he registered, wouldn't he be the one to suffer?

Those were the rules set by the King of Slaughter himself, anyone who broke them would likely become a new Bloody Mary...

There had never been someone in the Infernal Slaughterhouse who registered without a number; that would be breaking the rules...

Seeing her fantasy interrupted by this person, the woman in black's eyes grew colder, and she commanded, "Enough with the nonsense, I will personally report to the King of Slaughter. You just need to follow orders!"

The registration staff hesitated for a while before pleading, "Then... please make sure to report accurately, sir."

The woman in black nodded and urged, "Yes, hurry up and register him, the more ferocious the opponent, the better!"

She must see for herself if Xu Sheng's strength could meet the standards she expected...

After the registration staff took down some information, "Yes, sir! What shall we call the registrant's pseudonym?"

Everyone who registered used a number as their name. Since Xu Sheng had no number, he had to think of a pseudonym.

The woman in black pondered for a moment and spoke lightly, "Call him Cold Sword."

The sword in his hand that shimmered with rose ripples must be his Martial Soul, so she decided to keep it simple and directly name him Cold Sword.

The registration staff's mouth twitched a few times before nodding, "Cold Sword? Okay, registration is complete. I've matched him with some extremely vicious characters, and his match is in the next bout!"

He couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy for Xu Sheng, others were protected, but this guy was subjected to such blunt targeting...

Fearing that in the next round, the newcomer would have met a grisly death in the slaughterhouse...

The woman in black responded casually and then walked towards Xu Sheng...

Xu Sheng glanced at her, "Finished registering?"

The woman in black nodded, reminding him, "Because you didn't have a number previously, your pseudonym is Cold Sword. You don't mind, do you?"

Xu Sheng replied indifferently, "Whatever."

It seems he was rather special; others had numeric codes, but he got a name in text...

Such a unique action would be hard not to attract the attention of the King of Slaughter.

The woman in black pressed her thin lips together, "Also, the opponents I've chosen for you are people who've survived many rounds in the Infernal Slaughterhouse. Each is not to be underestimated."

Xu Sheng stared into her eyes, a flicker of surprise crossing his gaze. It seemed her words held a deeper meaning...
