How Dare You Bully Me

How Dare You Bully Me

Even with death staring him in the face, his opponent still cared more about the Evil Crystals on the ground. Duan Xing found it utterly baffling.

He glanced at the other figures still picking up Evil Crystals, then snapped the neck of the player in front of him. Turning into a blue phantom, he resumed his slaughter.

But even as he killed, Duan Xing still couldn't make sense of it.

After killing all the intruders, Duan Xing couldn't feel happy at all. When these beings died, they vanished into black mist.

The Evil Crystals he needed as proof of completing the trial vanished along with them.

He drew a deep breath, forcing his emotions down. Expressionless, he turned toward the surging wave of evil spirits.

Click, click, click—

The gears wound with a crisp, interlocking sound. The Runes Armor lit up once more, and Duan Xing turned into a streak of blue light as he charged into the tide of evil spirits again.

While Duan Xing fought, the regional voice channel was abuzz. Players were discussing the warrior called Duan Xing and the Evil Crystals scattered across the ground.

The nearby players had all been killed and booted from the game, but even more envious players were already on their way.

The Evil Crystals covering the ground were irresistible to players. By comparison, losing 10 Sacrificial Power upon death seemed insignificant.

Half an hour later, players began arriving one after another.

By the time Duan Xing noticed them, the newcomers had already gone into a frenzy, scouring the ground and picking up Evil Crystals.

Duan Xing, who had been expressionless all along, twitched at the corner of his mouth. Without hesitation, he turned and lunged at the players.

After killing the dozens of players who had just arrived, he saw that the Evil Crystals on the ground had dwindled noticeably. His fair skin flushed, and fury seemed ready to blaze from his eyes.

As the finest warrior among the Tidal Rebellion Legion's reserves, this killing trial was his final step toward proving himself.

Once he completed the trial, he would become a member of the Tidal Rebellion Legion.

He would not allow himself to fail.

He turned the energy core his father had left him, charging the Runes Armor. Then he turned toward the charging evil spirits and launched another assault.

In the midst of battle, Duan Xing moved lightly, like a ghost slipping through the evil spirits' encirclement.

His twin blades danced, accompanied by sharp, slicing whistles.

Just then, an evil spirit five meters tall appeared ahead. Black mist curled around its body, its face was hideous, and its swollen lower limbs supported a body on the verge of rotting away.

Duan Xing didn't slow down at all. He swept past it, and a glowing X appeared across the giant evil spirit's chest. Its body was split into four, but not a drop of the flying black slime touched him.

In his frenzied slaughter, Duan Xing became the god of death, moving freely through the ranks of evil spirits. The twin blades in his hands seemed alive, sometimes slicing like sharp swords, sometimes tearing through them like whirling storms. Every swing left several evil spirits dead.

At the height of the battle, Duan Xing roared at the sky, his long blue hair whipping in the wind.

But when he caught sight of a group of furtive beings out of the corner of his eye, his smile vanished.

"You... you're dead!"

The Tidal Rebellion Legion's reserve warriors weren't issued spatial storage items. All Duan Xing could do was kill enough evil spirits, then use the Coordinate Star Stone aboard his shuttle to summon the Tidal Rebellion Legion's trial inspector to verify that he had completed the trial.

But these strange creatures he'd never seen before had become the greatest obstacle to completing it.

Duan Xing watched the mysterious beings skulking in the distance. Every so often they glanced his way, their furtive behavior stoking his fury.

Die!

He immediately changed targets and lunged at the players happily picking up money.

Seeing Duan Xing charging toward them, the regional chat channel exploded:

"Brothers, grab them quick! God of Wealth is coming at us with two machetes!"

"God of Wealth is so stingy. We only picked up a few Evil Crystals, so why's he mad?"

"Hey, you over there! You've got no dignity left, crawling around on the ground to pick up Evil Crystals. Aren't you embarrassed? Get up and let me pick them up!"

Just then, Duan Xing arrived.

What he couldn't understand was that even with him right in front of them, these mysterious creatures were still focused on the Evil Crystals. They didn't seem to care that he was about to kill them.

As he watched the Evil Crystals dwindle one by one, Duan Xing's killing speed suddenly increased.

In just a few breaths, he had wiped out all the players, who dispersed into black mist.

But when he looked up into the distance, he saw groups of mysterious creatures charging toward him.

This time, Duan Xing didn't keep slaughtering evil spirits. He turned to face the oncoming players.

As the gears meshed, the Runes Armor blazed with brilliant light. Duan Xing shot forward like a streak of blue light.

In mere moments, more than a hundred players had been slaughtered.

"There! God of Wealth is over there!"

The shout from the distance made Duan Xing lift his head just as he was about to resume killing evil spirits. He saw a mass of players charging toward him from every direction.

The sight made Duan Xing's scalp prickle.

To him, these mysterious creatures were far more troublesome than the evil spirits. They were physically weak, but wherever they went, the Evil Crystals mysteriously disappeared. With them disrupting his trial, he couldn't complete it at all.

"Kill!"

He took a deep breath to steady his emotions, then charged toward the oncoming players once more.

But after killing dozens of successive waves of players, Duan Xing was completely numb.

The mysterious creatures charging at him weren't dwindling. They kept increasing, until their numbers even surpassed those of the evil spirits.

The more he killed, the more came. They were impossible to wipe out.

Worse, they didn't all charge at once. They came in wave after wave.

That meant he couldn't wipe them out in one fell swoop. He had to keep an eye on their movements even as he fought the evil spirits.

After repelling the eighty-seventh wave of players, Duan Xing finally snapped.

He looked toward the players charging from afar, despair plain in his eyes. Then he leapt into the air and turned into a streak of light, flying toward the Ancient Battlefield.

Half an hour later, on the northern side of the Ancient Battlefield.

After resting and recovering his strength, Duan Xing took out a lure crystal and crushed it.

Black smoke billowed upward. Drawn by it, the nearby evil spirits rushed toward his position.

A new round of slaughter began.

Just as Duan Xing was reveling in the battle, he suddenly heard a familiar voice. He whipped around to look in the direction it came from.

He saw dozens of familiar figures. The one at their head excitedly pointed at him from afar.

"Look! God of Wealth is over there! Brothers, charge!"

"Hahahaha, we finally found him! Zongzi, post the coordinates in the guild chat and tell everyone to come over."

"Tsk... I can already smell the sweet fragrance of those Evil Crystals. Each one goes for at least 750 in cash. The whole place reeks of money."

Despair flickered in Duan Xing's eyes.

The Tidal Rebellion Legion's trial sent its candidates at random across space to a location in the Waning Crescent–First Quarter Moon zone.

He had always believed that even if he were sent to the First Quarter Moon, his strength as the strongest reserve warrior would let him hold his own. He was certain he could complete the trial and join the Tidal Rebellion Legion as its strongest new recruit.

But the arrival of these mysterious creatures had completely derailed his trial.

To him, choosing to retreat had already been a humiliation. But he had endured it to complete the trial. He never expected these mysterious creatures to push their luck and come after him again.

Duan Xing slowly clenched his fist. A blood-red glimmer appeared in his pure white eyes.

"You've really gone too far!"
