"I'm your opponent!"
A blazing fist of fire erupted between Hou Zemin's short sword and Feng Fan. The force behind it pushed Hou Zemin back just enough to halt his killing blow.
Long Liu stood tall in her humanoid dragonic form, her scales glinting as fire spiritual qi circulated around her. The heat radiating from her was enough to distort the air. With a snarl, she swung another flaming punch toward Hou Zemin, forcing him into a defensive stance.
"Go!" she roared without looking back.
Feng Fan didn't hesitate. He activated his array again. Then, like a fish diving into water, he vanished beneath the earth, swallowed whole by the desert.
"After him!" Hou Zemin bellowed, fury twisting his face. Several Obsidian Court cultivators moved after Feg Fan. But the cultivators from Red Pole would no longer allow them to do whatever they wanted.
"Kill them all!" someone from Red Pole roared, and the battlefield erupted anew.
