Somehow, a surge of blood rushed into Doomsday Assault's chest. Without much deliberation, he leaped onto the wall of the nearby house.

He didn't know that the drug he'd injected before logging in was starting to wear off...

As the suppressed fear and emotional fluctuations gradually resurfaced, it would take some time for him to comprehend the contrast. And it was at this moment that he made a somewhat rash decision under the influence of his emotions.

"You dare to act any more fake?" Doomsday Assault shouted as he jumped over the wall. "If you're going to play dead, do it convincingly... At least let a bullet graze you... Bleed a little before you pretend!"

As he shouted, Brother Jue's figure came into view. Before his feet even touched the ground, he already aimed and prepared to fire.

On the other side, Feng Bujue was already prepared. Before the "fake fall" was complete, he had already taken out [Moving Like Thunder] from his knapsack, ready to respond to the enemy's next move.

As a result, Doomsday Assault chose to chase into the courtyard and continue firing... In Brother Jue's opinion, this was the best possible development.

*Pa-*

*Chi-*

The bullet was fast, but Feng Bujue was faster.

Even though his skills were limited, the item's effects were not diminished. With the special effect of the Thunder Gem, Feng Bujue successfully closed in on Doomsday Assault before he could steady himself...

"Let me send you on your way..." Brother Jue took out a kitchen knife, ready to strike.

However...

"Hmph..." Doomsday Assault didn't panic at all, just snorted coldly, putting on an "I knew this would happen" expression.

His composure had a reason...

Two seconds ago, when Doomsday Assault jumped over the courtyard wall, he guessed that Brother Jue would use a similar method to attack him. Therefore, he activated a reconnaissance skill that could be called a divine ability in advance...

[Name: My Skateboard Shoes]

[Skill Card Attributes: Active Skill, Permanently Mastered]

[Skill Category: Reconnaissance]

[Effect: After activation, the next melee damage you receive will be reduced by 90%, and all special effects attached to the attack will not be triggered; at the end of the attack, you will automatically move behind the attacker and gain double attack speed for four seconds (cooldown time is thirty minutes, lasts for five seconds after activation, if no damage is taken within five seconds, the skill will still enter cooldown and be consumed)]

[Consumption: Stamina 1200]

[Learning Conditions: Reconnaissance Specialization S, Fighting Specialization D]

[Remarks: Under the moonlight, I see my figure, sometimes far, sometimes near, feeling a force driving my steps. With skateboard shoes, I'm not afraid of the dark, one step, two steps, one step, two steps, one step, one step like claws, like the devil's pace, friction~ friction, friction~ friction!]

Doomsday Assault was, after all, a member of the Corpse Blade Squad. His strength was undoubtedly superior to that of Shui Shi Assault, the marksman from the second team.

Comparing their specializations... Although Shui Shi Assault had an S-level shooting ability, his other specializations were generally weak; Doomsday Assault was different. Although his shooting specialization was only A-level (most non-professional players can usually train one or two main specializations to A-level when they reach the maximum level), he also had an S-level reconnaissance specialization.

Speaking of this "Reconnaissance" skill... it wasn't very impressive in the early game, but in the mid and late game... the advantages this specialization could provide in terms of survival, stealth, and burst damage were all tactical abilities, often capable of reversing the situation.

At the moment, when Feng Bujue's [Blade of Unavoidable Defense Break] was about to strike, Doomsday Assault knew... his parry skill (fighting game term, refers to a move that doesn't directly cause an attack judgment when used, but automatically counterattacks if hit within a certain period of time) was about to be triggered.

Next, Doomsday Assault only needed to withstand the opponent's insignificant blow (because the damage was reduced by 90%), and then wait for the skill effect to send him behind Brother Jue. Then, he could use his enhanced attack speed (200% attack speed)... to blow Brother Jue's brains out with one shot.

In theory... that's how it should be...

The problem was... Feng Bujue knew all about Doomsday Assault's [My Skateboard Shoes]. Whether it was through the data he observed earlier, or through the match recordings... he knew that Doomsday Assault had this skill.

With Brother Jue's calculations... how could he let the other party get his way?

"Hmph... Crazy Bujue..." When the kitchen knife struck Doomsday Assault's neck, he didn't think it was a big deal; based on his past experience... the feeling of a melee attack that reduced damage by 90% and didn't have any special effects... was at most equivalent to being gently tapped with a hand blade. Not to mention a kitchen knife, he had even taken a Zhanmadao, and it definitely didn't break his defense. "So far, you've never been killed in an official match, right? Heh... Today, I'll end your undefeated record!"

Doomsday Assault sneered, already celebrating his feat in his heart. He was just waiting for the slight pain in his neck to pass, and then the moment of automatic teleportation.

But... that moment would never come.

*Pfft—Hiss hiss hiss—*

The next second, a dull blade entered flesh, followed by the sound of blood spurting.

After being stabbed, most of Doomsday Assault's neck was severed, and his head could only droop on the remaining neck. His vocal cords and trachea were severely damaged, and his eyes bulged out of their sockets in shock.

Because Doomsday Assault was cut before his feet landed, the force of the knife pushed him back a bit, causing him to hit the wall sideways, and then fall to the ground.

"This development... is a little different from what you imagined, isn't it?" Feng Bujue looked down at his dying opponent with a smile and said, "I think... even now, you haven't realized that all active skills have been weakened..."

As he said this, Doomsday Assault still wanted to reach into his knapsack to take something, but Feng Bujue ruthlessly kicked the opponent's hand away.

"According to my observation... in this script, the actual effect of skills may be less than one-tenth of what it originally was; that is to say, the duration of your parry skill has already ended." Feng Bujue said, stomping down hard and breaking Doomsday Assault's other arm, "Even if it didn't end, the weakened skill might not be able to withstand my knife."

Things had developed to this point, and Doomsday Assault was desperate, and he belatedly realized... at this moment, he was experiencing the intense pain and fear that he hadn't felt in a long time.

"Also... the reason I didn't let your bullets graze me isn't because I didn't want to or couldn't 'perform' more realistically, it's just..." Feng Bujue moved his foot away from the opponent's arm and continued, "In this script... 'bleeding' is a very dangerous thing, and it should be avoided as much as possible."

Just as he finished speaking, suddenly... from the darkness around, there was a faint rustling sound.

"You see..." Brother Jue heard the chilling strange noise, but smiled, "...your blood... has attracted some 'unclean things'."
