On the other side of the battlefield, three figures were locked in fierce combat. Heng Yi gripped his heavy broadsword tightly, slashing down toward Noke Di's head with the momentum of a thunderbolt. Meanwhile, Cao Hongxun's double fists struck out like ferocious tigers emerging from the mountains, charging in from the flank amidst a howling gale. Under their combined assault, Noke Di appeared utterly battered and was forced back step by step. Just as he narrowly managed to dodge Heng Yi's fierce broadsword, a loud crash echoed as Qingqing slammed heavily into the ground. Noke Di subconsciously glanced in her direction, and taking advantage of this momentary lapse in concentration, Cao Hongxun's mighty twin lion fists smashed fiercely into his body. Noke Di's body was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string.
"Ah..." Seeing the person she loved dearly injured, Qingqing widened her eyes in fury and suddenly let out a roar, disregarding her own wounds. A powerful aura surged from within her like a roaring tide, instantly making the surrounding air scorching and oppressive.
The situation on the battlefield shifted abruptly, making the already tense atmosphere even heavier. A fierce wind howled, whipping up a blinding flurry of sand and dust. Qingqing's body began to transform; her emerald-green eyes turned blood-red like burning flames, emitting a chilling, terrifying glow. The scales on her body flickered with an eerie light.
