"Lady Lihua!"  They all shouted as they took a step forward, but stopped in their tracks.  

Lihua head straight towards the poisonous wall.  As the gas surrounds her and as she breaths it in.  She could tell which poison was used to create the poisonous wall.  

It was a mixture of three poisons.  The Green Nightshade poison, to put people unconscious.  The Black Claw poison, to paralyze the body and the Red Weed Fire poison to uses the qi inside a body as fuel to burn from the inside out.  

As Lihua passes through, on the other side of the wall, the trees were chard black from tip to root.  The green grass, now black as poison seeps deeper into the ground.  The poisonous gas wall moves as it folds itself in a huge circle, surrounding and trapping Lihua.  

Lihua heard a sinister laughter of a woman surround her.  From the opposite wall, three women in red steps forward towards her.  Lihua's eyes narrow as it lands on the woman in the center.  

Although it has been some months since the last time she's seen her, Akira could still enchant everyone with her beauty.  Her hair flowing in the wind as she laughs louder and louder at Lihua.  Her eyes lit with insanity as she laughs.  

"Did you think you would have seen the last of me?"  Akira said as she stops laughing to stare at Lihua the hatred.  "Did you think you could take Takeshi away from me? He's mine and will always be mine!"  

"You sure about that?"  Lihua asks her with a smirk on her face.  "Because he was screaming my name all last night." 

"You're nothing but a whore!  He's only using you because he can't have me! He loves me!  He can only love me!"  Akria desperately said as her hands curl into a fist.  Just the image of the two of them together enraged her.  Just thinking that they were in bed together and what they did in bed together drove her crazy.    

"Should I tell you what we did last night?  How I made him feel so good that he cried out my name over and over again."  Lihua said as she started to gather more qi around her to unleash her animals on to them. She talked to anger Akira so she wouldn't be able to think straight.  She talked to distract her opponent from noticing her making her move. "You know, he could have still love you, if you waited for him, if you stayed true to him and didn't betray him to marry his own brother. Out of all the men in the world, you just had to marry his own brother.  The only person he loves."  

"I didn't betray him!  I didn't have a choice!"  Akria shouts. "They made me!  I love him! I still love him." 

"Your love is weak!"  Lihua tells her.  "Now he's mine." 

"If I kill you, he'll love me again." Akira said desperately.  "Yes, he'll love me again and will only look at me...will only love me."  

"Your words are wasting my time." Lihua tells her as she sprints forward towards Akria.  The two women in red make their move as well as the two of them head straight towards Lihua.  A sadistic smile spread across Akira's face as if she could see her Red Maidens tear Lihua in two.  She starts to laugh as she starts to imagine Lihua plead for her life.  

But to her surprise, six lions suddenly appear.  The lions roared fiercely as they split up into two groups as they attacked Akira's Red Maidens.  Lihua heads straight towards Akria as she pushes her qi into her hands.  Her hands glowed a light blue with her qi.  She strikes Akria, aiming for her solar plexus.  Akira's reaction to Lihua's attack was late, however she was able to take a couple of steps back to avoid Lihua's hand.  

Although Lihua's hand missed her target, her qi hand been thrust forward along with her snake, hitting the target and biting her. As quickly as the snake striked her, it coiled back to its home on her arm, waiting for her master's command.  Akira stumbled backwards five more steps as she held the spot where Lihua hit with her qi.  

The snake poison working fast on Akira as she sees Lihua turn into a phoenix.  

"How can this happen now?"  Akira said to herself in disbelief as the phoenix's fire rages strongly.  Akira rubs her eyes to make sure it was a phoenix who stood before her and looked around to see where Lihua went.  Akira screams in frustration.  

"Come back you bitch!  How dare you run away!"  Akira shouts wildly.  "Only a coward runs away and leaves their beasts to call in their place to fight!" 

"Since you came here to seek out death, I will help you along the way." Lihua yells as she attacks. Taking advantage of Akira's momentary disbelief and wild actions, Lihua's fists came up hitting Akira in the face, causing bruising on her left eye and right jaw.  

Akria's hands comes up the block the third fist while she jumps back again, dodging Lihua's hands.  

"You bitch!"  Akira yells.  "You dare hit my face!"  

"Keep looking at me and I'll take your eyes."  Lihua said with a smile.  

"You seek death!" Akira shouts as she pulls her daggers out from under her red flowing robe.  

She attacks the phoenix with vigor, slashing away at it.  But no matter how hard she stab and thrust her dagger at the phoenix, it kept moving and dodging.  

"Stay still you dumb bird!" Akira yells in frustration.  

Suddenly in front of Akira, she saw the phoenix turn into two.  Her eyes rounded and widen in surprise.  From the phoenix, a butterfly appears and flies over head.  It's dust landing on Akira as her hands tries to cover herself so the dust doesn't get on her.  

The smaller phoenix cries out as it flies up and around her in circles before diving down towards her face.  Akira cries out in fear as she swipes her dagger at it, however she forgot about the bigger phoenix.  Akira felt her ribs break as the bigger phoenix hits her with her qi.  Damaging her inner strength. She felt another hit that landed on her the small of her back.  Akira was hit with such force that the invading qi in her body made its way inside of her and hit her sacrum, damaging her inner core further.  

Akira cried out in pain as the smaller phoenix cries out once again and attacks.  It's claws scratches her arms as they cover her face trying to avoid the phoenix's beak at the same time as it aimed for her eyes.  As she falls down to her knees, she could slowly feel herself burning from the inside out. She was soon pulled up by one of her Red Maidens.  But what she saw was not her Red Maiden, but a melting red demon.  Akira tries to pull hand away from the red demon, but instead the red demon attacks her, hitting her behind her neck. Akira loses consciousness as her Red Maiden jumps towards the top of a cherry blossom tree. When she lands with Akira in her arms, she jumps again and unleashes a teleportation scroll.  They disappear within a blink of an eye.
