A wave of fear washed over Yun Yiyi after the fact. It had been a hair's breadth—that bullet had almost struck Huo Jingrui, right where his heart was.
She didn't even realize her forehead was covered in sweat.
Perhaps truly frightened, she rose from behind the rock and dashed towards the person who had fired at Huo Jingrui. Just as that person shot another bullet, Yunyi reached him.
With a palm strike, Yunyi sent the man flying with her Inner Strength. Fortunately for him, he landed against a Centennial Red Pine, as her martial arts skill had not yet fully returned to its peak.
The man was slightly embedded in the tree.
After Yunyi charged the sniper, Huo Jingrui, having subdued the man he was fighting, quickly followed.
He grabbed the man and punched him in the stomach. Already injured by Yunyi's Inner Strength and now struck by this punch, the man went as limp as a noodle. Unable to stand, he slid to the ground.
