Yao Yao pouted, "I thought it was something high-class. Isn't this just a firearm?"
"That's right. Do you want to try?" Shen Xingyue pointed at Yao Yao, "Knowing you're fast, I want to see who's faster, your sidestep or my bullet."
Yao Yao shook her head, "No, no, no. That's not fair."
"Fair? We're at war, and you're talking about fair? I think you're a chicken!" Shen Xingyue taunted.
Yao Yao still shook her head, "You misunderstand me. I mean, comparing the speed of your bullet to my sidestep speed is unfair to you. After all, I only need to move a little to dodge your bullet, but your bullet has to travel several feet to possibly hit me, right?"
I realized Yao Yao had mastered the art of showing off.
"So?" Shen Xingyue asked coldly.
"So, I won't sidestep or dodge. I'll just stand here. If your bullet hits me, you win. Come on."
After speaking, Yao Yao spread her arms, striking a pose of facing death without fear.
Shen Xingyue was completely enraged. Without further ado, she aimed at Yao Yao and pulled the trigger. I didn't even have a chance to stop her!
Bang!
I only saw the muzzle jump up slightly and didn't see the bullet fire. It turns out that the depiction in movies of a bright yellow line tracing the bullet's path at night is also fake.
Looking at Yao Yao, she hadn't moved an inch. However, one of Shen Xingyue's subordinates let out a muffled groan and clutched his arm.
Did Shen Xingyue miss and hit her own person? Impossible. Even a miss couldn't curve 180 degrees. Yan Shuangying wouldn't dare to play like that!
However, my perspective was too limited. Shen Xingyue, refusing to believe it, fired a second shot. This time, the unlucky one was her comrade on the other side, also hit in the arm!
The bullet had indeed curved!
Shen Xingyue was about to fire again when one of her female companions rushed over and held her tightly, "Captain! You can't fire anymore! Otherwise, all our people will be injured!"
"...What kind of magic is this?" Shen Xingyue still seemed skeptical of the outcome.
"Bullets are made of metal, didn't you forget?" Yao Yao spread her small palm. "I possess all five elements, unlike you, who only knows earth magic. But then again, for someone as earth-like as you are, earth magic is probably fitting."
This wasn't just provocation; it was a blatant insult to her character!
Shen Xingyue was naturally furious. She threw down the gun, snatched a great sword from her companion, and lunged forward. She was pulled back again by her companion, "Captain! Don't be so reckless! We have more people, let's go together!"
Shen Xingyue, huffing, stopped and ordered everyone to surround the position first.
I quickly moved to my designated spot within the formation, leaning my back against the broken wall, looking up, holding the willow branch. If anyone came up, I would poke them.
I didn't need to worry about the gaps in the broken walls; Yao Yao was in charge of those. I only had to manage my own territory.
Once the encirclement was complete, Shen Xingyue gave the order, and the battle officially began. However, these people, including Shabiya, seemed unable to discern the "eyes" of the formation. They all rushed headlong into the gaps between the broken walls, encountering Yao Yao's earth magic, a storm of attacks. If there had been a drone flying overhead at this moment, it would have seen, with Yao Yao at the center, four rolling dust clouds mixed with sand and mud extending outwards in the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest directions. Each dust cloud stretched for tens of meters. Outside the formation, the four dust clouds spread out and connected, forming a circle that completely enclosed both the enemies and ourselves.
I didn't know how powerful the outer ring of dust was, as there were no enemies there. If there had been, they would likely have been pulverized.
However, Yao Yao did not intend to kill those within the formation. She merely forced them out of the positions. The flying sand and stones did not attack from all directions; they merely made frequent contact with their weapons, clanging and clanging, like a blacksmith shop of a hundred thousand soldiers forging weapons.
Seeing that the gaps were impassable, Shabiya finally caught on and began to attack our four broken walls. I couldn't afford to watch anymore and focused on the wall. As it happened, the one climbing up from my side was Shen Xingyue – perhaps she thought I was the weakest of our five?
I no longer held back. Seeing half her head appear, I thrust the willow branch towards her face...
