Chapter 2369: Countless Phantoms

Lu Qingshu observed in all directions; his eyes turned green in an instant.

Surrounded by the phantoms of Yue Ying, his pupils rotated rapidly. He knew very well that these were merely illusions; he had to find the real Yue Ying among these phantoms.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of white light appeared, and the curved blade in the hand of a Yue Ying phantom traced a brilliant, snowy line, slashing toward Lu Qingshu.

Lu Qingshu leaned his body backward, then delivered a horizontal slash with his long sword. That Yue Ying phantom was instantly cut in half at the waist, then vanished into nothingness in an instant.

A barely perceptible smile appeared in Lu Qingshu's eyes; just as he had thought, this Yue Ying was merely a phantom.

His gaze, however, had long since locked onto the true form of Yue Ying among those phantoms.

Lu Qingshu suddenly leaped forward. The movement was like a deer lifting its hooves, extremely swift, and the long sword in his hand thrust fiercely toward Yue Ying.

Yue Ying's eyes widened in shock; he had not expected this Lu Qingshu to discover him so quickly.

He flipped the curved blade in his hand, immediately trying to use the arc of the blade to hook Lu Qingshu's slender sword.

But Lu Qingshu seemed to have anticipated this move long ago; the sword thrust he had just made was merely a feint, and his true attack lay in his legs.

In a split second, his legs instantly transformed into deer hooves, and he kicked fiercely at Yue Ying's abdomen, landing over a dozen kicks in an instant.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Under the immense impact, Yue Ying was kicked backward repeatedly.

That Yue Ying immediately flew backward rapidly. After barely steadying himself, he suddenly clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Yue Ying, you're finished!"

Lu Qingshu held his long sword horizontally, watching Yue Ying with cold eyes.

"Hmph!"

Yue Ying looked at him, still gripping the curved blade in his hand, but said nothing.

On the other side, Red Boy and the Red Lotus Enchantress were already being besieged by Song Jue, Ding Zhong, and Sun Wukong; they would soon be unable to hold out.

Princess Iron Fan hovered above the Flaming Mountain, looking at the crimson rocks on the mountain, where some residual flames still lingered in the crevices of the rocks.

From his gaze, it was not hard to see that he understood the fire situation on the Flaming Mountain extremely well. If these residual flames were not completely extinguished, once they left, it would not be long before the great fire on the Flaming Mountain would burn again.

Thus, Princess Iron Fan raised the banana-leaf fan in his hand once more, and his robes began to flutter without wind.

"Whoosh!"

Another massive tornado swept toward the Flaming Mountain.

This time, the great fire on the Flaming Mountain was finally completely extinguished, and those rocks that had been crimson now dimmed.

"There shouldn't be any big problems now."

Princess Iron Fan looked at the Flaming Mountain, seemingly speaking to himself.

At this moment, those fire-bird knights had already been completely surrounded by the Heavenly Soldiers who had rushed up.

Originally, they relied on the great fire on the Flaming Mountain; once the flames on the fire birds disappeared, they would charge into the great fire and then fly out again.

And the Heavenly Soldiers, because the temperature on the Flaming Mountain was too high, could not get close.

Therefore, because the fire on the Flaming Mountain had been too intense, those fire-bird knights could be said to have been completely invincible.

But now, without the great fire on the Flaming Mountain, the weaknesses of these fire-bird knights were completely revealed; their mounts relied entirely on flames to fly, and their attacks were mostly fire-based magic attacks. ===== CHAPTER 2371 =====
