Was Ying Li a iron fist?

What happened to Ying Li in Shang-Chi?

With Shang-Chi and Xialing hiding in the safe place, Li engaged in a fight with the Iron Gang. Due to her martial art skills, she was able to take down multiple enemies, however, the Iron Gang eventually outnumbered her which resulted in Li’s death.

How did Ying Li lose her powers?

As the guardian of Ta Lo, Ying Li once held powerful magic, abilities that allowed her to beat Xu Wenwu when he attempted to enter Ta Lo. She loses these powers when she leaves her role. This makes sense, but later, it seems that Shang-Chi inherits air manipulation powers from his mother.
