Shen Yunhai's Attack, Part IV

Several things happened at almost the same time. If Huǒ Yulie’s eyesight wasn’t as good as it was, she would have missed it.

The first thing that happened was shadows leaping out of the ground to create a wall that the flaming projectile slammed into. The fire from her eldest brother’s attack blasted right through it, but the shadows weakened the attack and it was slower than before.

The second thing that happened was someone dropping from the sky. It was Huǒ Shuchang. He grinned widely, spread his feet apart, and held his hands up to accept the flaming projectile. The attack slammed into him with the fury of a storm. His feet slid across the ground, until he was seconds away from touching the barrier, but that was where he stopped. Digging his feet into the hard ground, he reared his fist back and slammed it into the projectile. The sphere of fire was launched skyward.

“Brother… Shuchang…” Huǒ Yulie murmured with wide eyes.
