I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2191 Golden Phoenix
Liu Jun and the Blood Demon King were fighting fiercely, but the Dark Demon Queen was not in a hurry to attack. She just stood aside quietly, staring at every detail on the battlefield, looking for possible flaws.

Liu Jun's current strength is extraordinary. She must remain calm so that she can take action at the most critical moment to help the Blood Demon King and kill Liu Jun to avenge herself, her children, and her people who were wiped out in the explosion.

As time went by, the battle gradually entered a stalemate. Liu Jun and the Blood Demon King had both tried their best, but the outcome was still unpredictable.

At this moment, the Dark Queen suddenly discovered a tiny flaw in Liu Jun. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she instantly joined the battlefield.

The moment the Dark Queen moved, Yan Li also took action, throwing out a small ball and putting her and the Dark Queen into the small world inside the ball.

This thing is similar to a small dimensional space specially used for duels. Although it cannot be maintained for too long and is not very practical, it is extremely suitable for use here.

Because this is the bottom of Hanyue Lake, not only is there water, but the temperature of the water is also extremely low. With her strength, she can't even use one tenth of it here.

However, if the Queen of Darkness is pulled into the small spherical world, this problem will be solved and he can exert his full strength.

Yan Li swung his blood-red whip, and a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly rang out in the air. The whip was like a living red snake, carrying a burning breath and going straight for the Dark Queen's throat.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, which obviously stunned the Dark Queen for a moment, and she didn't know where she was.

Although she was a little confused, her years of combat experience allowed her to react extremely quickly. She retreated without hesitation, trying to create some distance.

"Your opponent is me." Yan Li said coldly, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes, approaching quickly.

The Dark Queen was obviously not really afraid of Yan Li. When she saw Yan Li coming, she stopped in her tracks, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth under her black veil. She raised her slender fingers slightly, and three dark chains shot out from her sleeves, colliding with Yan Li's long whip in the air.

"Dang!" The sound of metal collision was accompanied by sparks of spiritual power.

Yan Li flicked his wrist, and the long whip drew a graceful arc in the air. The tip of the whip suddenly split into nine, like a blooming blood-red lotus, attacking the Dark Lord from different angles. Each whip shadow contained enough power to tear steel apart, and the air was whipped to make an explosion.

The Dark Queen's figure was as elusive as a ghost, her black robe rustling in the wind. She formed seals with her hands, and a dark energy shield formed in front of her, blocking all of Yan Li's attacks. But Yan Li's attacks were continuous, and her long whip followed her like a shadow, not giving the other party any chance to breathe.

"Instantly" the Dark Queen suddenly let out a low roar, and the whole person turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated.

Yan Li's pupils shrank slightly, and her fighting instinct made her turn around instantly, with her long whip forming a defensive circle behind her. As expected, the Dark Queen emerged from the shadows behind her, with a short blade glowing with a faint light in her hand, stabbing Yan Li in the back.

"Ding" the whip accurately blocked the fatal blow.

The two were so close that Yan Li could clearly see the abyss-like eyes of the Dark Lord. There was no anger or fear in those eyes, only pure desire to kill.

"Burn the sky!" Yan Li no longer held back, and the spiritual power in her body surged wildly. Her long whip was instantly wrapped in red flames, and the temperature around it rose sharply. She swung it violently, and a wave of fire spread out in a fan shape, like magma from a volcanic eruption.

The Dark Queen retreated quickly, the black chains intertwined in front of her body, but a few flames still penetrated her defense and ignited a corner of her sleeve. She snorted coldly, and a ball of black mist flew out of her sleeve to put out the flames.

"Is that all you can do?" The Dark Queen sneered, her voice as cold as ice. "You are still far from being able to save your beloved."

Yan Li had a blank expression on her face, unmoved. She knew that this was a psychological tactic of the opponent. She waved her whip again, this time it was no longer a pure physical attack, but mixed with mental shock. Every time the whip was swung, it was accompanied by invisible mental ripples, trying to disrupt the mind of the Dark Queen.

The Dark Queen obviously noticed this. She quickly formed seals with her hands and a dark rune appeared on her forehead.

"Shadow Barrier!" She shouted softly, and her body was shrouded in a thin layer of black mist. Yan Li's mental attack was ineffective.

The battle was at a stalemate, and both were looking for each other's flaws. Yan Li's whip was like a dragon or a snake, sometimes fierce as thunder, sometimes flexible as water; the chains of the Dark Lord were treacherous and changeable, sometimes hard as iron, sometimes soft as silk.

Suddenly, the Dark Queen seized the moment when Yan Li changed his moves, and three chains wrapped around Yan Li's ankles like poisonous snakes. Yan Li reacted very quickly, dodging with a backflip, and at the same time, the long whip swept across, creating a deep gully on the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.

"Do you think you can save him?" The Dark Lord sneered as he attacked, "Once the Blood Lord has dealt with Liu Jun, you'll be next."

A cold light flashed in Yan Li's eyes, and the long whip suddenly became as straight as a sword, piercing the heart of the Dark Lord's queen.

"He doesn't need my protection," Yan Li responded coldly, "but you should worry about whether you can leave here alive."

The Dark Queen dodged sideways, but Yan Li's whip suddenly bent, leaving a bloody mark on her cheek. The black veil fell, revealing a pale and beautiful face, and the bloody mark was particularly glaring.

"You're looking for death!" The Dark Queen was finally enraged. She clasped her hands together and black mist surged around her. "Soul Eater!"

Countless black tentacles stretched out from her body and pounced on Yan Li like a living thing. Wherever these tentacles passed, even the air became distorted, as if they could swallow up even the light.

Yan Li did not dare to be careless and quickly retreated, while the long whip danced in front of him to form a wall of fire.

"Red flames protect my body!" Yan Li shouted tenderly, and the flames surged, forming a huge phoenix shadow, which collided with the black tentacles.

"Boom!" Two completely opposite energies collided, causing an astonishing shock wave.

When the shockwave dissipated, the two stood at the two ends of the battlefield in a slightly embarrassed manner. Yan Li's sleeves were torn in several places, and the Dark Queen's long hair was a little messy. But the eyes of the two were equally sharp, and their fighting spirit had not diminished at all.

"Interesting." The Dark Lord licked the blood from her lips. "It's been a long time since I met an opponent that I can take seriously."

Yan Li did not answer. She adjusted her breathing and felt the flow of spiritual energy in her body. This battle was far from over, and she had to stay in the best condition.

She is still a little worried about Liu Jun. Although Liu Jun has absorbed the origin of water, the Blood Demon King is a real veteran strong man with many methods. She is really afraid that Liu Jun will suffer a loss.

The Dark Queen noticed Yan Li's distraction, and a cruel arc appeared at the corner of her scarlet lips. She seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed forward like a ghost, her black robe rustling in the wind.

"Little Phoenix, your time of death has come!" The Dark Queen laughed shrilly, her voice as harsh as scratching glass.

"Devil's Shadow Strangling!"

Following this loud shout, the Dark Lord's figure suddenly twisted and split, one became two, two became four, and in the blink of an eye it split into dozens of physical clones.

Each of these figures was like a real person, holding a short blade as black as ink, with suffocating dark energy wrapped around the blade. These clones attacked Yan Li from all directions, blocking all her possible escape routes.

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Yan Li's forehead. She could feel the deadly aura contained in those short blades - the dark power that could corrode the soul. The air around her seemed to freeze, and time became unusually slow at this moment. She could even see the hideous smile of the nearest clone, and the strange purple light flashing on the tip of the blade.

"Is it over?" This thought flashed through Yan Li's mind. But the next moment, she took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

In the absolute darkness, she heard the sound of her own heartbeat - thump, thump, thump, slow and powerful. A warm current rose from her dantian and flowed through her limbs and bones. It was the power dormant deep in her blood, a gift from the ancient golden phoenix to her descendants.

When the Dark Queen's attack was about to come, Yan Li suddenly opened her eyes. There seemed to be flames dancing in her pupils. The flames were just a faint golden light at first, but in an instant they turned into a blazing phoenix fire.

"Flaming Dance for Nine Heavens!"

Following this shout, a golden ring of fire suddenly erupted with Yanli as the center. The flame was pure and blazing, containing the sacred power to purify all darkness. The ring of fire expanded rapidly, and wherever it passed, the clones of the Dark Queen twisted and dissipated like morning mist encountering the scorching sun.

"Impossible!" The Dark Queen was forced to retreat, the edge of her black robe scorched by the flames. She stared at Yan Li in shock and anger, "How could you possibly break my magic shadow stranglehold?"

Yan Li did not answer. At this moment, she seemed to be a different person. Her body was surrounded by golden flames, and her long hair moved without wind. Every strand of hair seemed to have turned into flames. A pair of wings made of flames vaguely appeared behind her. Although blurry, they exuded a suffocating pressure.

"Is this the true body of the Golden Phoenix?" For the first time, a trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the Dark Queen, but it was quickly replaced by deeper madness. "Even if you have the blood of the Golden Phoenix, what does it matter? I will take your life today!"

She quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted an ancient and evil spell. As the spell was completed, the ground beneath her feet began to crack, and dark energy poured out of the cracks like a living thing, forming a dark area around her. In the area, even the light was swallowed up, leaving only pure darkness.

Yan Li felt suffocated, but she did not retreat. She clasped her hands together, and the flaming wings behind her became clearer. She could feel something awakening in her body, the power of the ancient phoenix that had been dormant for a long time.

"Use fire as a guide, and the heart as a source." Yan Li whispered, and every word seemed to carry the power of fire. "The fire of Nirvana will burn away the darkness."

She suddenly spread her arms, and the flame wings behind her were fully formed. With a slight flap, she flew into the air. Countless flame feathers fell off the wings, turning into a rain of fire that poured down on the Dark Lord.

The Dark Queen screamed, and the dark realm shrank rapidly, forming a pitch-black shield in front of her. The fire feathers hit the shield, erupting with a deafening roar. Every impact caused cracks to appear on the shield, and the dark energy was constantly purified by the flames.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?" The Dark Queen grinned, suddenly removed her shield, and let several fire feathers penetrate her body. But the horrifying thing was that what flowed out of those wounds was not blood, but sticky black liquid. After the liquid fell to the ground, it immediately turned into small monsters, screaming and rushing towards Yanli.

Yan Li frowned slightly, fluttered her wings, and rose higher. She quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted the ancient Phoenix spell. As the spell was completed, the color of the flames around her began to change, gradually turning from gold to pure white - that was the highest level of Nirvana fire of the Phoenix clan.
