"You're no match for me!"
Seeing Xu Ye's gesture, Shenchuan Xue narrowed her eyes, veins bulging faintly on her pale forehead.
She fired several shots in succession.
But Xu Ye was moving, and the wind was strong at this height. Even at such a short distance, she could no longer aim accurately.
She wanted to distract the boy. The slightest lapse in concentration would send him falling, but after several attempts, she realized just how steady Xu Ye's nerves were. His hands gripped the protruding rocks firmly, like those of an experienced climber.
An uneasy feeling rose in Shenchuan Xue's heart.

She exhaled a thread, condensing her breath into a strand invisible to the naked eye. It coiled around her hand, drifting gently as it sliced through the air.
