Therefore, after Qi Ling drew her sword, the remaining people in the room could not escape the fate of being killed. In fact, compared to Qian Renxue, Qi Ling acted without any hesitation and was quite clean and efficient.
After all, for Qi Ling, preventing these people from dying was more difficult than dealing with them, as it required extremely precise control over his power.
Killing them was much simpler. Qi Ling knew all too well how many vital points a person had. In fact, after he made his move, these people didn't even bleed before they were completely lifeless.
Looking at the enemies lying on the ground, Qian Renxue couldn't help but marvel at Qi Ling's clean and efficient movements, saying, " Qi Ling, your movements are even more swift than an execution squad. Do you often do this kind of thing?"
"Haha, A Xue, believe it or not, I really don't kill people very often," Qi Ling laughed. "Because I've always believed that a person's punishment should be commensurate with the crime they commit."
"Those whose crimes don't warrant death only need to be punished to a certain degree. But these people clearly all have their own ways of bringing about their own demise; letting them be freed sooner would be beneficial for everyone."
Jian Lan said with considerable surprise, " Qi Ling, I didn't expect your sword to be so chilling and terrifying."
"Of course, I may not kill people, but I need to know how to kill them," Qi Ling said with a smile. "Alright, now let's wait for the examiner to appear."
The pawnshop owner was very happy today. So many people had come to the Slaughter City to die, and he could collect another reward.
Although only those who pass the tests are allowed to enter the Slaughter City, this world has no shortage of desperados. Without a large number of bad people to exploit, how can the Slaughter City guarantee its prosperity?
So when the shop owner came down the tunnel, he said as he walked, "Ahem! Listen up, you people down there. If you want to enter the Slaughter City, you must first pass my test, otherwise you'll have to offer up..."
The shop owner was speechless for the rest of the conversation, because those scum he had exploited, who were supposed to make outstanding contributions to the prosperity of the Slaughter City, had all fallen silently, leaving only the three youngest men still standing.
Based on the shop owner's many years of experience, he could naturally tell that these people were all dead, and dead beyond any doubt, completely devoid of any hope of life.
Such a decisive method amazed even someone like him; it was practically an art form! And the person who did all this seemed to be the young man in front of him, smiling at him.
"Hey boss, sorry about that, they're probably too hyped up, they've all fallen asleep from exhaustion," Qi Ling said with an innocent smile. "I think we should start the trial first."
The shop owner thought to himself, "I don't believe you for a second! You're even more cunning than this old man! You couldn't fool a three-year-old like me!"
But the shop owner, naturally, dared not be negligent towards such Slaughter God who didn't take killing seriously at all. He immediately put on a smile and said, "Of course, of course! Since they're all asleep, let's begin."
"Okay, what are the contents of the trial?" Qi Ling asked.
"The trial is simple. Now that you've proven your strength, all you need to do is drink a Bloody Mary to enter the Slaughter City," the shopkeeper said.
As he spoke, the shop owner produced three glasses of scarlet liquid from who-knows-where, which emitted a foul, fishy odor that made one want to vomit.
"This is the foundation upon which the Slaughter City was built, and also the most important commodity circulating within! Hehe, my three distinguished guests, who would like to go first?" the shop owner said with a smile, looking just like a street vendor peddling shoddy goods.
Qian Renxue and Jian Lan looked at the scarlet liquid and couldn't help but show their discomfort. As women, they instinctively felt a physical aversion to this substance and simply couldn't swallow it.
Seeing the expressions on the two women's faces, the shop owner couldn't help but feel a surge of smug satisfaction. So what if you two are incredibly powerful? You still have to follow our rules here!
Qi Ling then stepped forward first, and the shop owner greeted her with a smile, "Honored guest, please..."
Before the shop owner could finish speaking, a sudden gust of wind swept through him, and all three Bloody Mary in his hands were knocked to the ground.
"Sorry, we won't drink it," Qi Ling said calmly. "This stuff is of dubious origin, it's an unregistered product, who knows where you got it from? Is it hygienic? Does it have a product certificate? Does it carry any viruses? If something happens after drinking it, who will be responsible?"
The shop owner was completely bewildered by Qi Ling's barrage of questions. He had no idea what a product certificate was, and no one had ever cared whether drinking this stuff would make them sick! Seriously, we're about to enter the Slaughter City, and you're worried about these things?
"This, this, this is against the rules! Anyone who wants to enter the Slaughter City must drink a Bloody Mary to be considered qualified and pass the test..." The shop owner argued, but Qi Ling only made one gesture to shut him up.
"Any more questions, boss?" Qi Ling asked with a smile, holding the sword to the shop owner's neck.
The shop owner glanced at the dozens of people lying on the ground beside him and immediately said, "No problem! My esteemed guest! You have passed our test, and the gates of slaughter will open for you at any time!"
"Very good, I enjoy talking to intelligent people!" Qi Ling sheathed her sword with satisfaction. "Lead the way, boss. Let me see what Slaughter City so different."
The shop owner sighed helplessly and, while leading the way, said to Qi Ling, "Honorable guests, it's not that I'm being rude, but this Bloody Mary is actually for your own good!
"Without the baptism of Bloody Mary, your bodies are too pure, which may attract the rejection of the Slaughter City and cause even worse things."
Qi Ling was prepared for this, after all, they were like viruses invading a living organism. If the Slaughter City could not assimilate them, it would naturally try to eliminate them.
Despite this, Qi Ling was not worried at all. None of the three were simple people; each had their own unique survival skills. The murderous aura of the Slaughter City was no match for them.
Led by the shop owner, the three of them passed through a hidden door and headed deeper underground. As they went further down, a chilling wind blew up from below, seemingly warning them.
At the same time, Qi Ling could also feel a tremendous malice rushing towards her from below, as if it wanted to devour her completely.
"Interesting. The Slaughter City is indeed extraordinary," Qi Ling said with a smile.
