It's possible that the Ao Shin rose when the temple was destroyed, and was not actually part of the force that is leading the assault on the temple. With regards to it looking like they are fighting in the last frame:
 * Maybe Udyr was pouncing on unseen enemies and if there were to be another frame, it would show Udyr shredding up demons while Ao Shin assists/watches.
 * Ao Shin is blinded with rage upon being awoken from his slumber and is simply attempting to destroy everyone and everything present at the temple. Udyr is fighting for his own life, perhaps to break through to Ao Shin that they are allies.
 * Ao Shin has been corrupted by the evil that attacked the temple and he intends to fight Udyr. We already have a "good" guardian, Anivia, so having a corrupted guardian would be cool (this would also lead nicely into Battlecast Ao Shin, which could be that flying thing in Viktor's artwork). Technically Blackfrost Anivia is "what if Anivia went bad", but ah well.
