Yes and no. What I meant was that, if you say “He stabs him with his sword,” it’s going to be fine. I’d be very careful of trying to censor the blood and violence of a beat within the confines of the script (writing something to make sure that the reader knows that there will be no blood, et al).
It’s really going to come down to your talks with the producer/director. Get one you trust or you’re screwed even if you write “THERE IS NO BLOOD!” 
But what I was talking about when saying that you wouldn’t put anything in there that you didn’t feel comfortable with is that, you’re not going to write “He gores him through the heart, and blood flies into the air. Covers his face, splatters on his friends.” unless you’re actually trying to get that.
Just write it as it comes - as indefinitely as “He kills him” to as descriptively as “He thrusts his sword into him and pulls it out quickly - a clean kill” (that might actually work to get the message across without heading into censorship).

I put a lot of time and energy into this script, and it’s now in pieces in various notebooks and pieces of paper and computer files as I try to make new plot decisions, and spend more time and energy on it to bring it to its proper completion…
I’m just a little attached to the project. 
That’s what screenwriting is. Unless you’re going to play Rob Rodriguez, you’re going to eventually give your baby to someone else. And be prepared for disappointment - there is a fair chance they’ll kill it. But if you find someone who has a good record story-wise, there’s a chance they’ll make it better than you’d ever guessed it could be.
