'I can't hit people, but surely I can hit a contraption?'
Milady put all her strength into the blow, sending the Long Snake contraption flying high into the air. Her timing and aim were perfect; the Long Snake whipped toward Li Wei's face as intended. Li Wei, who hadn't had time to attack again, was startled by the black shadow rushing toward him and instinctively reached out. It wasn't until he had snatched the contraption with a SNAP that a look of regret flashed across his face.
He likely realized that if he had let the contraption hit him, Milady might have been penalized for breaking the rules.
Milady had no time to thank Li Wei for his combat instincts. Seizing the hard-won moment of respite, she turned tail and ran. However, before she could rush into the facility area, she twisted sharply, doubling back at an acute angle.
Her maneuver worked like a charm, luring a figure with golden-red hair out from the facility area. The figure pounced, rushing toward her at high speed.
