Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Just as Xiaobai said, Chihiro Yukishiro's fighting power soared after she revealed her true form.

Her figure moved with lightning speed, leaving afterimages in the air. Her sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, and each attack was filled with a fierce killing intent.

"Nightingale" was equally formidable, her movements even more unpredictable, drifting through the bar like a ghost. Her dagger would occasionally slash out in black arcs, colliding with Yukishiro Chihiro's claws and producing a piercing metallic scraping sound.

Zhu Feifei was dazzled by the fight between the two and realized that he couldn't get involved at all.

"Wow! That's so intense!" Zhu Feifei exclaimed while dodging the flying shards of bottle. "If I got caught in the aftershocks of their fight, my life would be in danger!"

"You idiot! You still have the mind to sigh!" Little White Ringwraith said with exasperation, "Think of something! Do you really want to watch Yukishiro Chihiro be defeated by 'Nightingale'?"

"What... what can I do?" Zhu Feifei said with a mournful face, "My true energy hasn't recovered yet, and I can't transform back into human form. Going up there would just be suicide!"

"You..." Little White was so angry at Zhu Feifei that it couldn't speak. It really wanted to slap this useless host to death.

"Sigh, forget it, relying on you is like hoping a sow can fly!" Little White sighed and said, "You use the Nine-Toothed Rake to protect yourself first, I'll go to the 'Moonlight Treasure Ring' to see if there are any usable magic items."

“Okay… alright…” Zhu Feifei quickly summoned the Nine-Toothed Rake and held it in front of her.

While carefully dodging the aftershocks of Yukishiro Chihiro and "Nightingale's" battle, he prayed in his heart that Shiro would find reinforcements soon.

With a deafening roar, Yukishiro Chihiro and "Nightingale" collided once again, the powerful energy surge shattering all the surrounding tables and chairs into pieces.

"Cough cough..." Zhu Feifei was so shocked by the energy fluctuation that she staggered backward and almost fell to the ground.

"Oh my god! This is too dangerous!" Zhu Feifei exclaimed, her face turning pale with fright. "If this happens a few more times, I, Old Zhu, will definitely be killed by the aftershocks of their battle!"

"Falcon, you are no match for me!" Nightingale forced Yukishiro Chihiro back with a single blow and sneered, "Just surrender obediently!"

"Don't even think about it!" Chihiro Yukishiro gritted her teeth, her eyes resolute. "I will not let you hurt Feifei!"

"Oh? Looks like you really care about that idiot!" Nightingale's eyes narrowed. "In that case, I'll kill him first, then I'll deal with you!"

After saying that, Nightingale flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Zhu Feifei.

"Oh no! Qianxun, save me!" Zhu Feifei was terrified when she saw this and immediately cried out for help.

"Feifei!" Yukishiro Chihiro exclaimed, trying to step forward to stop her, but she was entangled by "Nightingale" and couldn't break free for a moment.

"Hehe, you pighead, just obediently accept your death!" Nightingale's figure instantly appeared in front of Zhu Feifei, the dagger in her hand flashing cold light, stabbing towards Zhu Feifei's throat.

"Oh my god! This is really the end!" Zhu Feifei closed her eyes in fright as she looked at the dagger so close to her face.

"Wait! I have something to say!" Zhu Feifei suddenly shouted at the critical moment.

"Hmph! You're about to die, what are your last words?" Nightingale sneered, her dagger poised at Zhu Feifei's throat.

“Well… um… Sister Nightingale, look, we’re all monsters, practically family, so why fight like this?” Zhu Feifei opened one eye and said cautiously, “Why don’t we sit down, have a cup of tea, chat, and turn hostility into friendship? Wouldn’t that be better?”

"Who said we're 'family'!" Nightingale was amused by Zhu Feifei's words. "You pig, you're truly shameless!"

"Hehe, Sister Nightingale, you're joking. I, Old Zhu, have always won people over with virtue. How could I be shameless?" Zhu Feifei said shamelessly. "Besides, you're so beautiful. You look like a kind-hearted monster. How could you bear to kill me?"

"Smooth-talking!" Nightingale scoffed. "However, your words remind me that I almost forgot you have something important on you..."

"Something important? What is it?" Zhu Feifei was taken aback. Apart from the three magical treasures, he didn't seem to have anything valuable on him.

"Hmph! Playing dumb!" Nightingale's eyes narrowed. "Hand over your 'Teardrop Necklace,' and I might spare your life!"

"'Teardrop Necklace'?!" Zhu Feifei was shocked. He hadn't expected that "Nightingale" would know about the existence of the "Teardrop Necklace"!

"How could she know about the 'Teardrop Necklace'? Could it be... that she was sent by Guanyin?" Zhu Feifei wondered to herself.

"Well? Have you made up your mind yet?" Nightingale urged when Zhu Feifei remained silent. "My patience is limited!"

"I...I..." Zhu Feifei stammered, unsure how to answer.

"Hmph! It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Seeing this, "Nightingale" hardened her eyes and stabbed at Zhu Feifei with the dagger in her hand again.

"No!" Chihiro Yukishiro cried out in alarm upon seeing this, trying to step forward to stop her, but it was too late.

At this critical moment, a golden light suddenly shot out from Zhu Feifei, deflecting "Nightingale's" dagger.

"This is..." Nightingale was startled by this sudden turn of events and quickly took a few steps back.

"Hehe, you think you can mess with me, Old Zhu? Not so easy!" Zhu Feifei laughed smugly, his body radiating golden light, like a golden Arhat descending to earth.

"What...what kind of kung fu is this?!" Nightingale asked in surprise.

"Hehe, this is my 'Golden Bell Iron Shirt' technique, isn't it amazing!" Zhu Feifei said proudly. "This is my secret weapon, I don't tell just anyone!"

"Hmph! Playing tricks!" Nightingale sneered. "I don't believe your 'Golden Bell Shield' can withstand my 'Netherworld Claw'!"

After saying that, Nightingale formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A powerful yin energy burst forth from her body, transforming into countless ghostly claws that reached out to grab Zhu Feifei.

"Oh my god! So many ghost claws, I'm scared to death!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Feifei was so frightened that he quickly waved his nine-toothed rake to defend himself.

"Clang clang clang..." A series of metallic clanging sounds rang out as the nine-toothed rake collided with the ghost claw, sparks flying everywhere.

"Hahaha... Useless! Your 'Golden Bell Shield' may be powerful, but it won't last long against my 'Netherworld Claw'!" Nightingale laughed triumphantly.

"Damn it! Is there really no way out?" Zhu Feifei anxiously tried to think of a solution while fending off the attacks of the ghost claws.

"You idiot! Think of something! If this keeps up, we're all doomed!" Little White Ringwraith was jumping up and down in a panic.

"I... what can I do..." Zhu Feifei said with a mournful face, he was truly at his wit's end.

"Sigh, it seems we have no choice but to use that trick!" Little White Ringwraith sighed and said.

"Which move?" Zhu Feifei asked quickly.

"Do you remember the 'time-space jump' function of the 'Moonlight Ring'?" Xiaobai asked.

"I remember, but what's the use?" Zhu Feifei asked, puzzled.

“We can use ‘time jump’ to go back in time and stop all of this from happening!” Xiaobai said.

"Go back to the past?!" Zhu Feifei was stunned. "This... this might work."

"Let's give it a try! It's better than waiting to die!" Xiao Bai said. "Now concentrate and activate the 'Moonlight Ring' to teleport us back to before we met the 'Nightingale'!"

"Okay... alright..." Although Zhu Feifei was unsure, she had no choice but to try anything.

He quickly focused his mind and activated the "Moonlight Ring".

Suddenly, the "Moonlight Ring" emitted a dazzling white light, enveloping Zhu Feifei and Yukishiro Chihiro.

"Oh no! They're trying to escape!" Nightingale rushed forward to stop them, but it was too late.

With a flash of white light, Zhu Feifei and Yukishiro Chihiro disappeared from their spot.

"Damn it! They actually got away!" Nightingale stomped her feet in anger, but she was helpless and could only watch as Zhu Feifei and Yukishiro Chihiro disappeared.

"Tamamo-no-Mae! I'm not done with you about this!" Nightingale glared at Tamamo-no-Mae fiercely, then vanished into the night in a flash.

"Phew... Finally gone..." Tamamo-no-Mae breathed a sigh of relief as "Nightingale" left, then plopped down on the ground.

"Oh dear! My bar... This is a huge loss..." Tamamo-no-Mae looked at the mess in her bar, on the verge of tears.

……

"Ouch! Where am I?!" Zhu Feifei rubbed her sore bottom and got up from the ground.

He found himself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by complete darkness, where he couldn't see his own hand in front of his face.
