The golem pressed its attack, forcing her onto the defensive. Each strike grew heavier, the heat intensifying with every swing. A flicker of doubt crossed her eyes as her knees weakened.
'Will I really lose?' she thought softly, her confidence wavering.
Shen Yuan, who had already destroyed his second Flame Golem with a series of precise, thunderous strikes, glanced over at Wan Ling.
His sharp eyes noticed the cracks in her protective Qi and the exhaustion in her movements.
'She's at her limit,' Shen Yuan thought, his expression turning hard. 'Just a bit more.'
He thought and went to make quick work of his third Flame Golem with a final thrust of Tyrant's Wrath, lightning bursting from its core like a storm.
With the three down, he turned fully toward Wan Ling's fight.
Her opponent roared, raising both arms to smash her into the ground.
"Ling'er!" Shen Yuan's voice echoed.
