Where the fighting raged, Chang Yu threw his head back and let out a long howl of grief and rage.
He did not understand why Zhou Di had abandoned them. They had been companions and lovers for years, yet this abandonment and betrayal had come without warning.
When his howl ended, Chang Yu lunged at Xu Le again.
He was too fast. At this distance, Xu Le had no time to escape.
He could only elementalize his body, letting the claws of the Demon Form pass through him.
