Snake Lance arrived first.
By the time the sharp whistle of rushing air sounded, the spearpoint had already stopped beside Bai Jin's ear. She Long gripped the long shaft with both hands. His back, shoulders, and arms drove forward together, pressing his Level 93 Soul Power along the spear in wave after wave.
