Dance Of The Phoenix
196. The Soul of Rakshasa

The red sky completely knocked down all fighting spirit and was replaced by fear. Even the Linghun Palace army began to retreat and gather, preparing for the final defense. They knew what it meant to be a magic circle that appeared in the sky with a light that changed the entire sky.

The Yi Empire knew nothing. Only Vale and the palace lords knew about it. They know they have no chance of winning. But actually Gu Yuena used this way to crush Li Hua all the way to her roots.

At this moment, they became agitated. They hoped that Bai Youzhe would come soon to stop Gu Yuena's madness!

Only Vale was silent from the start, looking at Gu Yuena with teary eyes. In fact, Gu Yuena had been telling him about this ever since they spent time studying that day. It's just that he doesn't understand anything about the magic-circle detonation.

After thinking about it once more, he finally understood that Gu Yuena would make sacrifices as well as mass destruction that was more terrifying than astrological formations.

In addition, Vale also knew all of Gu Yuena's plans, including saving innocent people as well as everyone around her from disaster ....

Unfortunately, Vale was unable to say it. Gu Yuena sealed it not to talk about it despite wanting to. Let alone saying it in front of Bai Youzhe.

Gu Yuena's decision had been final since her conversation with Yang Xinyuan.

Gu Yuena's eyes were cold. He could see his own spiritual power and laugh inwardly. In the end, he will die ....

The light from the magic circle increasingly dyed the sky red and covered its original color.

At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly became silent and strange. The red sky suffered a brief shock and gave rise to a black fog and a huge storm. Everyone panicked and thought that the effect of the explosion would begin. Everyone is getting noisy.

However, unexpected things happen. The sky suddenly split. The space in the sky was torn apart like a sword incision and several things flashed from within it.

The storm that suddenly came was definitely not from Gu Yuena. Gu Yuena herself fell silent.

The black figure shot out at high speed. It was not clearly visible among the red clouds filled with magic.

Li Hua was surprised. He did not even dare to approach Gu Yuena who was surrounded by red magic and a transparent barrier to protect himself. But someone just suddenly broke through magic without fear of death!

It was Bai Youzhe!

Bai Youzhe shattered the barrier filled with powerful magic as easily as breaking glass. The barrier shattered just like that, letting Bai Youzhe break through and pull Gu Yuena into her arms.

Gu Yuena flinched. His magic was forced to be pulled because Bai Youzhe held both hands. The magic circle that filled the sky slowly disappeared. The red sky fades and restores its original color.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Nrouzhe ...." Gu Yuena became stiff. Bai Youzhe hugged him very tightly and did not let him move. Gu Yuena's mind went blank for a moment.

Breaking through to someone who is about to detonate a magic circle is extremely dangerous. If Gu Yuena were to forcefully blow it up, Bai Youzhe could die with him. That was why Li Hua did not dare to approach and could only watch helplessly.

No one knew when Gu Yuena would blow it up. Gu Yuena only felt puzzled for a moment as the aura around her turned extremely cold as if fire and ice had fused together. He did not sense Bai Youzhe's existence because the protector he made separated him from the outside world.

When the protector was destroyed, he was greatly shaken. His strength was almost uncontrollable if Bai Youzhe did not immediately seal his power and force him to pull the magic circle back into his body.

If not, they are dead by now. There's nothing left.

"Are you stupid? Why would you do that? You said you wouldn't leave me. Are you going to break your words?" Bai Youzhe said coldly.

Gu Yuena did not say anything. He has no answer. He just still did not expect Bai Youzhe would come back so quickly and foil his plan.

Gu Yuena was not angry. But he was agitated to the point of not being able to say anything.

What did he have to say to Bai Youzhe?

Bai Youzhe was always worried about him. He had always wanted to make sure that Gu Yuena would not leave him for these few days. But just as he left, Gu Yuena was already about to leave him without saying a word.

Just a little too late, he would lose Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena could not use any tricks. Both hands were held, his body was held. He just stayed in Bai Youzhe's arms.

"Gu Yuena, I asked once again. Are you going to break your word?" Bai Youzhe asked coldly.

"I said, I will not leave you, so I will not leave you. I have my own way."

"Your? What a way you are to sacrifice your life just for some of those people!"

".... Bai Youzhe, I've been dead a long time."

Bai Youzhe tightened her grip.

Gu Yuena continued, "Fourth time, death doesn't scare me at all."

Three times Gu Yuena experienced what was called death. First was his death at the hands of the Ye Clan, second was his death in another world, then last was his death when the heart demon took over his body.

He has suffered three of the most tragic deaths. If he died once more to save more people, he would not be afraid.

"Bai Youzhe, I have my own mission. There are some things you can't understand." Gu Yuena clasped Bai Youzhe's hand holding her back, then took off her embrace gently.

Gu Yuena lowered her head, then slightly turned her head towards Li Hua. He has to solve this problem, today as well.

Yang Xinyuan appeared on Li Hua's side. His face looked very dark and cold. I don't know what he's thinking.

Seeing that Gu Yuena was ready to fight back, Bai Youzhe clasped her hands tightly.

"Give it to me" he whispered.

Gu Yuena frowned. Bai Youzhe was already standing in front of him and set Gu Yuena on his back without letting go of the grasp. His cold voice did not change. Even the air around is getting colder.

He's very angry.

Li Hua and Yang Xinyuan were right before his eyes. This situation was almost the same as the day where he had to hide and watch his parents die right before his eyes.

Now, he did not need to hide and face these people openly. He's not that kid anymore.

Without saying anything, the four of them entered into a fierce battle in the air.

Ever since the magic circle sacrifice was canceled, Yang Xinyuan replaced Li Hua to take over the war. The war continued then and all the troops united against the enemy.

Bai Youzhe and Gu Yuena worked together in the fight, regardless of the conflict that had previously emerged. After all, this is still a battlefield. The enemy at any time attacks and they should not lose focus just because of one problem.

Although the problem is not small. However, as long as it could restrain Gu Yuena from sacrificing her magic circle again, Bai Youzhe would suppress the uneasiness in her heart and focus on the battle.

Bai Youzhe and Gu Yuena understood each other's strength. They create excellent and compact chemistry. Just knowing one's initial movements, they knew what to do.

A dragon and a phoenix appeared right then and there. Yang Xinyuan transformed into a dragon, while Li Hua used his strongest magic to restrain the phoenix and the dragon that were suppressing him.

Li Hua frowned. The strength of these two people was extremely troublesome. If there was no Yang Xinyuan, he was afraid that he would be forced to retreat and would have to plan many more things.

Bai Youzhe's direct attack was terrifying. His strength was not something that a human could handle. Even Li Hua felt like he really was in the past against Bai Yue and the man.

Just then, Li Hua got a wound that almost took his life after killing the man. The power of his dragon made Li Hua barely able to sustain his life if not immediately use his demon bones and soul stones to repair his damaged soul and strengthen himself.

Now, Bai Youzhe was even stronger than her father. How could Li Hua handle it herself? Although he was extremely strong, it seemed like Bai Youzhe's strength had already achieved what no human had achieved!

It was a level 10 equivalent to the existence of a God!

Bai Youzhe could fight through close or far distances. When far away, he would use corrosive soul power as well as deadly hellfire. When near, he would grant the most lethal assassin power in both his swords.

On the other hand, Gu Yuena used a flying knife as the main weapon. His movements were extremely fast and dodged every attack from Li Hua as well as Yang Xinyuan.

The four figures continued to fight nonstop and created numerous explosions that fell downwards.

The collaboration of dragons and phoenixes was too terrifying. Although Gu Yuena could not see, she managed to make the proud Li Hua depressed. Li Hua was already at level 10, the final rank of the human cultivation path. Bai Youzhe and Yang Xinyuan were no less powerful and were of the same rank. 

Only Gu Yuena was still waiting for the most complicated stage of nirvana. Even so, Gu Yuena's strength was equivalent to level 10. His combination with Bai Youzhe was too strong that Li Hua was forced to take a safe distance with Yang Xinyuan.

"Good, you really forced me." Li Hua smiled coldly.

In the next instant, his red eyes lit up with a deadly aura. The green magic in his hand soared into the sky and formed an image of a large creature with a few hands. The figure was like a shadow, but its size was huge and very real behind Li Hua. The power expended was too terrifying.

The figure was soul-shaped with eyes full of killing intent. Its appearance caused great shocks and gave complete suppression to the opponent. Bai Youzhe and Gu Yuena put up a shield to block the pressure the figure exerted.

"Rakshasa Soul!"

Whether who was the first to shout, that sentence actually invited fear among everyone on the battlefield. The oppression issued from Raksasha's Soul was extremely abnormal and could not be borne by humans!

Rakshasa was an evil being with the power of a God who was at the highest rank in the God Realm. Not many know about him. People only knew that he was a very powerful evil God and liked chaos.

Li Hu actually kept that extremely powerful Soul of Rakshasa? Doesn't that mean that he has the power of Lord Rakshasa!

The aura around became extremely uncomfortable, more uncomfortable than before. The appearance of that huge and terrible figure was enough to make the morale of the troops fall to the bottom.

Bai Youzhe narrowed her eyes. This is so bad. The absorption of the demon bones that Li Hua had done definitely made him possess such strength. However, that does not mean that the woman cannot be defeated. Gu Yuena also thought that way.

In the end, the power of Lord Rakshasa was incomplete and not as strong as the original. As Yang Xinyuan had said, the phoenix core was able to stop him.

But the phoenix core can only appear once it goes through the process of nirvana. Gu Yuena only had the most extreme way to stop him, which was to blow up three magic circles! 

Unfortunately, Bai Youzhe would not allow it. Worse, they could have a fight in the midst of this complicated situation, which would have benefited Li Hua and Yang Xinyuan.

The figure gave off an enormous amount of dark power.The power appeared in each area like a burst of magic from the ground, then covered the space around with darkness. It absorbed the life energy of many people without knowing the opponent or comrade, giving it the strength to attack!

Gu Yuena and Bai Youzhe immediately acted. This time, their opponents were not only two, but three! They change their form to the original form of their soul. The figures of the phoenix and dragon appeared. Its size was even larger than Rakshasa's Soul and it attacked ferociously.

Yang Xinyuan was also in the form of a dragon, grabbing Bai Youzhe until the two clashed in midair and slid to the ground. The clash on the ground caused an enormous shock and managed to cause the battlefield to be filled with ground cracks and earthquakes.

On the other hand, Gu Yuena in a phoenix form approached Li Hua and used phoenix flames in her attack. Rakshasa's soul launched a magic attack towards him, making Gu Yuena's flight heavy and her speed reduced. Until he finally saw the black magic that shot towards him, he immediately dodged.

Rakshasa's Soul Power was still very strong despite being incomplete. Li Hua managed to control it. The soul force was absorbed into his body and immediately darted against Gu Yuena. Rakshasa's soul gave him many advantages and assistance to deal with Gu Yuena who was difficult to catch.

Down there, Yang Xinyuan several times stopped Bai Youzhe from flying upwards. Their dragon figures were extremely domineering, fighting brutally and attacking relentlessly. The defense of the dragon body was so great that a shallow attack would not hurt him.

However, the attacks of both of them were clearly so corrosive and dangerous that it required a lot of space to deal with the attacks. Until finally Bai Youzhe managed to take over the air, then used the hellfire to suppress Yang Xinyuan underground.

In the sky, Li Hua arrived in front of Gu Yuena who was trapped between the magic slides of Rakshasa Soul. He said, "You'll know what it's like to research your decision."

Gu Yuena snorted. It shrank at high speed and slid away from each attack and out of the area of emphasis. He returned to his human form, then moved like a shadow towards Li Hua.

Gu Yuena appeared before Li Hua, then said, "The one thing that makes me regret is following you and becoming a tool in your hands."

Li Hua was getting angry. "Very good." He mobilized the strength of Rakshasa's Soul and swung his staff at Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena held the staff with both hands, then moved quickly to give Li Hua a direct hit without using a weapon. His movements are very fast. He ignored the pain in his hand while holding Li Hua's wand, then used his fighting skills from the Modern World to hit Li Hua.

He made use of the magician's physical weakness to inflict pain on Li Hua. However, in exchange, Gu Yuena had to receive a fatal attack from the Rakshasa Soul magic from the staff and fall loose downwards.

Li Hua was repulsed. His stomach was completely kicked by Gu Yuena until his mouth spit out blood. Gu Yuena's kick power was terrifying, for someone who had studied modern martial arts and was combined with magic.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuena could not continue her punch as she had to fall down driven by magic and could not use her wings anymore. His mouth bleeds, while he falls free from heights.

Bai Youzhe in the form of a dragon immediately flew towards Gu Yuena and caught her. He returned to his human form, then carried Gu Yuena in his arms. Fortunately Gu Yuena still maintained her consciousness, but she again vomited blood.

"I'm fine." Gu Yuena said firmly. Bai Youzhe had taken him out of the battle area and met Su Churan who was gathering troops in the back.

Su Churan was about to approach, but someone held her arm and made her stop. "Don't go there. You don't know the situation."

It was Yun Qiao. He commemorated Su Churan who was about to approach Gu Yuena. Five years of training together made Yun Qiao have some understanding of Gu Yuena. From the look on Gu Yuena's face, her mood was very bad. Whatever others say will not be heard, but rather be used as an outlet of anger.

Su Churan silently nodded and looked at Gu Yuena worriedly.

However, something distracted her attention. There was the sound of the pounding of the horse's legs running towards the battlefield. The number is quite large. He looked to the west side and sharpened his vision.

His eyes were filled with shock when he saw something extraordinary.

Hundreds of black figures clattered on the horizon like lines under the rising sun.
