A Dutchman hiding behind the cabin door aimed and shot at Li Qianxia, who was covering Zheng's forces.
Li Qianxia casually fired back.
Bang!
The two bullets collided in mid-air, creating ripples of air around them. One bullet, unreasonably like a bull, knocked the other aside and, with a puff sound, burrowed into the Dutchman's forehead.
"Sorry," Li Qianxia said, "mine is the king of guns, the king among guns."
"Whoosh!"
Li Qianxia turned her head to see a rocket launcher fired from land, trailing white exhaust and stirring up waves of air.
Boom!
One of Zheng's ships was obliterated in a cloud of dust featuring splinters, masts, water, and flesh.
Her expression darkened as she bit down on the Desert Eagle, stepped on the gunwale, and lifted the heavy machine gun with both hands, aiming at a distant Dutch warship that had avoided boarding combat.
Rat-a-tat-tat!
