Scum Who Only Dare Wield Blades Against the Weak

Because of the shield's enhancement, even Cheng Tian, with his low agility, could achieve an extreme burst of speed of 24 meters per second. Additionally, with the Shield Master's enhancement, the Troll Head's inherent "Horn Pierce" ability would have double the penetration and bleeding effect in practice.

Although the twins' red-named bodysuits were all blue excellent equipment, they were clearly not known for high defense. Once pierced, they would inevitably have bowl-sized holes.

But just as the thick horn was about to penetrate the chest armor composed of a small amount of fat and a large number of mammary glands, a gust of wind suddenly erupted from Yasha's body. She leaped into the air almost without warning, tilting her body into an extreme sideways flying kick. Her body made a 360-degree spin in mid-air, and her left leg swung around like a knife, colliding with the single horn on the cyclopean Troll Head!

A violent explosion echoed through the alley, scattering the crows that had been watching the battle.

Yasha, who had kicked out a gorgeous kick in an emergency to successfully extricate herself, seemed to use the recoil force of kicking the horn to fly up and land more than ten meters away.

Cheng Tian's charge came to an abrupt halt. It seemed to have achieved the forced knockback effect, but the physical damage that Blitz Charge should have inflicted didn't seem to affect her.

Yasha had indeed safely escaped this charge that would have cost her half her life if she had been hit, but it was not without a price. Her health plummeted by 20% the moment she activated the skill.

Bushin-ryu Hurricane Kick, the skill blueprint is the same move of the 39th generation Bushin-ryu ninjutsu successor "Guy" in

SD Final Fight

.

The Hurricane Kick move is now a standard feature for many fighting game characters, with only slight differences in the way it is expressed. In essence, it is a move that involves leaping into the air and attacking 360 degrees around with a kick. However, Yasha's version is slightly different in that it comes from a beat 'em up game. In more common industry terms, it is a "health-draining safety technique"—

A technique that can theoretically be forcibly used in most situations, sacrificing a certain amount of health to use a move that doesn't do much damage, but is likely to come with a large amount of "knockback value," which can knock away surrounding enemies and extricate oneself.

This kind of move is implemented in many arcade beat 'em up games, and it usually comes with a brief period of invincibility, meaning that when using the move at the cost of health, the user will not temporarily receive additional damage from enemies.

Yasha's "Bushin-ryu Hurricane Kick" certainly doesn't have the comprehensive invincibility of an invincibility star, but it does have the effect of negating regular physical attacks during the move's execution. She took the impact of Cheng Tian's Blitz Charge and used it to avoid being entangled by Cheng Tian at close range.

On the other side, the elder twin, Guiji, shouted "Be careful" to her sister, but still maintained a one-knee-down position, with one hand pressed against the ground.

Just as Cheng Tian knocked Yasha away, a surge of energy also flowed out of Guiji's body. Then, a wave strong enough to tear the ground erupted from her palm pressed against the ground and rushed towards Cheng Tian—

Ground Shatter!

Cheng Tian was currently in a brief state of stiffness after exchanging blows with Yasha, and with only basic agility stats, he couldn't immediately react effectively.

But don't forget, Cheng Tian has a teammate.

Another emerald green light fell from the sky, landing precisely on the path of the Ground Shatter. The collision instantly produced a small energy explosion.

There's help! He really has a backer guild!

Yasha, who was far away, saw the trajectory of the green arrow. Her eyes narrowed, and she unhesitatingly opened the jar containing the Guide Bugs again, using up the last use of the Guide Bugs.

Only now did the twins truly wake up from the state of being blinded by the Knight Armor, and they unanimously believed that Cheng had found a backer, exchanging the armor for a Captain America shield or even a matching skill.

Of course, this was also a coincidental misunderstanding.

Erin had entered the instance before Cheng Tian, taking the number 1 spot. Cheng Tian, as number 2, had three blank slots after accepting the quest. The number 3 and 4 slots were taken by the twins, and the number 5 slot should have corresponded to a new, unknown player. At this moment, the twins clearly regarded Erin, who was still hidden, as the number 5 player who had teamed up with Cheng Tian to enter the instance.

Well, although the twins' analysis of the process and conditions was a bit outrageous, they still came to the correct conclusion. Cheng was indeed teamed up, and it was a team-up like being kept by a sugar mommy.

Just then, Cheng Tian, who emerged from the exploding dust, suddenly shouted.

"Concentrate all your strength to kill one! Kill the one on my side first! The two of them have a combination technique!"

As soon as Cheng Tian spoke, the expressions of the Guiji and Yasha twins changed drastically. They couldn't imagine how Cheng Tian suddenly knew their biggest secret.

Don't think that Guiji and Yasha are red-named PK players who like to hunt newbies, but this proves one thing: they are complete cowards who only dare to extend their butcher knives to the weaker space scraps.

How strong they are when facing novice players is how embarrassed they are when facing the main quest BOSS of the monthly trial.

As mentioned before, there are no tasks in the space trial that require certain death or obliteration. Even if the main quest fails, there will be corresponding evacuation tasks, which greatly reduces the mortality rate of old players.

But the problem is, some people can learn from failure and turn it into a catalyst for their own improvement, while others will be depressed because of it, and even constantly avoid the failure they should be facing head-on.

Guiji and Yasha are the latter. They have PTSD from the main quest.

The difficulty of bounty quests can be chosen freely, and new prey can be slowly selected, but the main quest is assigned to the corresponding instance based on the player's current abilities and their own resource reserves.

The more extra resources they obtain from hunting newbies, the higher the overall difficulty of the main quest. This is not only reflected in the strength of the enemies, but also in the comprehensive manifestation of the main quest completion conditions, the complexity of the dungeon terrain, and interactions with NPCs.

So far, they have evacuated from the main quest three times in a row.

Under normal circumstances, only in the main quest of the monthly trial do players have the opportunity to obtain free attribute points and free skill points. Bounty quests are only for obtaining Heaven's Chosen Coins, equipment, skills, expanding NPC connections, exploring maps, and digging up hidden plots. As for ordinary magic equipment, it is rare to have attribute bonuses.

The attribute increases attached to Cheng Tian's crutch and Troll Head can actually be regarded as newbie benefits, an extra reward for his courage to forcibly solo powerful elite Red Imps and Champion Trolls with a mortal body during the newbie trial.

Perhaps a suitable piece of equipment can indeed provide a qualitative improvement to a player, but attributes are the most solid cornerstone that allows players to build a tall building from the ground up.

So don't think that they can easily hunt newbies, but that is because they rely on the method of rolling up by playing information asymmetry and stacking equipment. If all the equipment is stripped off, their attributes will not be much better than Cheng Tian's.

Moreover, the experience of failing the main quest has made them increasingly inclined to choose skill pools with escape and self-preservation abilities.

They have more resources, but they don't have the mentality to match them. It can only be said that even if they didn't encounter Cheng Tian this time, they would have already embarked on a path of chronic death.

As for how Cheng Tian saw that they had a combination technique...

It was actually a bluff.

Because these two people, whether it was their dress or the skills they had just used, highly restored a pair of BOSS characters in his memory—

Streets of Rage 3

, the second level "Cabaret" area level twin BOSS, Guiji and Yasha.
