A white mist came over them as the sun started rising, causing the group to form a circle, in their fighting stance side to side with Prince Haneul and Sai in the middle of the group as they sat up back to back.  The fog was so thick that they could hardily see a hand's reach in front of them.  Takeshi created a tornado with his qi, having it suck up the fog, but no matter how much fog it gathered, the fog would come back and grow denser.  He let go of the tornado and knew who ever created the fog had more people on their side.  Lihua unleashed her animals and sent them into the fog. Everyone could hear as the animals fought with the enemy.  Cries of pain and grunts of frustration and anger could be heard from time to time as her animals fought.  Her dragon flew close around the group, protecting them, breathing fire on to the shadows that moved close to the group.  His fire would melt any weapons thrown at them as well. 

Their attackers had hidden their qi within the fog.  Creeping up on them as they tried to attack the group. Takeshi wanted to fly up and search for the instigators, however he didn't want to leave Lihua's side.  So he held himself back letting her animals do all the killings.  He stayed by her side just in case he needed to become Lihua's shield.   

"You coward!"  A woman's voice shouted with frustration through the fog.  "You have your animals do your killing for you as you hide behind them!"  

"Just like how you use this fog to hide behind as you attack us right?"  Lihua taunted back.  "You use your weapons to fight, while I use mine.  What makes me more of a coward than you?  Take back your fog and I'll take back my animals, then we'll see who's more of a coward."  

Her animals fought on, killing the hidden attackers as they made their way towards Lihua and her group.  Her animals didn't let one person live, with their ferociousness they killed with no mercy.  The sound of roaring from her animals could be heard as they killed and the screams from their victims cried out loudly as well.  Lihua and her group stood around for a long time as they waited out for the fog to thin out.  

Upon seeing the fog becoming less dense, Takeshi again created a tornado and sucked up the fog.  Lihua was just glad the the fog wasn't poisonous and watched as the fog started clearing.  The scene in front of them surprised them as several dozen Red Maidens lied dead.  The floor soaked in their blood as Lihua's animals roamed around the group constantly keeping watch over them.  

"Remind me to never get you angry."  Prince Haneul said to Lihua as he involuntary shivered in fear.  

He had never seen the devastating beautiful Lady Lihua could fight before.  When he woke up to the beauty beside him, he thought he had died and the Gods had gifted him an angel.  However when he saw Thorin and Thorin told him that the beautiful Angel was Lady Lihua, he knew he was in trouble.  His heart had beat wildly for her, he had fallen smitten, in love with her.  And he knew he had to hide it.  Hell King would kill him for taking any steps towards wooing his Lady Wife. In the days that he was awake, he kept hearing others talk about her animals and he have seen them, but he didn't understand how she could contract them to her.   He had so many questions he wanted to ask, but to question his saviors about their powers, he considered it rude, so instead he kept quiet and healed his body instead.   

From behind the forest edge stepped forward Prince Aiguo, Kazumi and a dozen Red Maidens.  

"We meet again Lady Lihua."  Prince Aiguo stared lustfully at her.  He didn't even try to hide the fact that he wanted to fuck her as he looked at her from her head to her toes while licking his lips several times.  He stared at her face and chest for a long period of time as he adjusted himself with his hand, rubbing himself several times so his penis would harden.  

Takeshi's body tighten in anger as he was about to kill him for just looking at Lihua so lustfully.  The Devil's Soldiers also wanted to rip his eyes out for looking at their Mistress so wantonly.  

"Don't." Lihua said as she pulled Takeshi back.  "His kill belongs to Chiyo."  

"In that case, I won't hold back."  Takeshi said as he attacked the Red Maidens.  With a blink of an eye, several Red Maidens were ripped apart by his qi. Kazumi flinched as the rest of the Red Maidens were ripped apart.  Their shouts of pain suddenly cut off by their death.  

"Die!"  Thorin shouted as the ground under Kazumi opened up and she fell down into the hole that was created beneath her feet. The ground closed immediately, as it buried her alive.  Kazumi didn't have a chance at fighting them with Takeshi and Thorin fighting.  Their level in the martial fighting world was too great. Thorin and Kazumi's martial level where like heaven and earth.  

Prince Aiguo found himself surrounded by the fighters of Cara Country and Bido Kingdom.  He didn't expect to ever be in this situation.   He could see his death on their hands and dying here in Phantom Mirage, no one would question his death.  No one would investigate it, nor would he get any justice. 

"You dare kill this Prince?"  Prince Aiguo said as he looked between Hell King, Lady Lihua, Master Teacher Thorin and Prince Haneul.  "My King Father will have your head for this!"  

"Hahahaha!"  Thorin laughed as he crossed his arms around his chest.  "You think your bastard of a father would think we killed you here?  In Phantom Mirage?  Don't take us for idiots!"

"He won't even think you were kill by our hands let alone try to investigate how you died."  Prince Haneul taunted back.  "You're just trying to stall for time in your demise!"  

"Tell me." Hell King said as he pushed through his qi into Prince Aiguo.  The pressure pushed him down to his knees as his eyes, nose, mouth and ears started bleeding.  "How did the Red Maidens enter Phantom Mirage without Cara Country knowing?"  

"I'll tell you if you let me go."  Prince Aiguo pleaded.  "I'll tell you what ever you want."  

"Sure, I'll let you go."  Takeshi said as he raised his hand to stop the others from killing him before he could talk.
