Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

"Jie Jie Jie..."

The eerie laughter echoed through Tokyo, which was shrouded in black light, sending chills down one's spine.

"What... what on earth is going on?!" Zhu Feifei looked at the strange scene around her, her heart filled with unease.

“The ‘Moon Shadow’ ritual… has already begun…” Chihiro Yukishiro said solemnly, “He… he really wants to…”

"What do you want?!" Zhu Feifei asked hurriedly.

“He wants to… summon the true form of the Nine-Tailed Fox…” Chihiro Yukishiro said, “Once the true form of the Nine-Tailed Fox descends… the entire city of Tokyo… will be devastated…”

"What?!" Zhu Feifei exclaimed in shock. "Then... what should we do?!"

"We must stop him!" Qinglan said. "Before the ceremony is complete... we still have a chance!"

“But… what should we do?” Chisakura asked, “The power of ‘Moon Shadow’… is too strong…”

“Now… there’s only one way…” Yukishiro Chihiro said, turning her gaze to Zhu Feifei, “Feifei…”

"Huh? Me?" Zhu Feifei was taken aback. "I... what can I do?"

"Do you remember... that sealed box?" Chihiro Yukishiro asked.

"The sealed box? You mean... that box containing a portion of the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon's power?" Zhu Feifei asked.

“That’s right…” Chihiro Yukishiro nodded, “That box… is the key to stopping ‘Moon Shadow’…”

“But… wasn’t that box… taken away by ‘Bai Xiaosheng’?” Zhu Feifei said.

“I… I have a way… to track down the box…” Chihiro Yukishiro said, “But… I need your help…”

"Me? What should I do?" Zhu Feifei asked.

"You...you need..." Yukishiro Chihiro whispered a few words into Zhu Feifei's ear.

"What?! This... This is too..." Zhu Feifei was stunned after hearing Yukishiro Chihiro's plan.

“There’s no time to hesitate…” Chihiro Yukishiro said, “For Tokyo… for everyone… we have to do this!”

“But…” Zhu Feifei still hesitated.

"Believe me!" Yukishiro Chihiro looked at Zhu Feifei, her eyes resolute. "This is our... only hope..."

"Okay... fine..." Zhu Feifei gritted her teeth and finally nodded, "I... I'll listen to you..."

"Okay!" Yukishiro Chihiro nodded, then turned to Aoran and Chisakura and said, "Aoran, Chisakura, you... go..."

She began assigning tasks: Qinglan and Qianying were responsible for distracting the nine-tailed fox demons "Professor" and "Moon Shadow" and disrupting the ritual as much as possible. Zhu Feifei, on the other hand, needed to complete a special mission under the guidance of Xueshiro Qianxun.

"But, Chihiro, your body..." Qinglan looked at Yukishiro Chihiro with concern. She had already been injured, and now she was forcibly using the secret technique; I'm afraid...

“I’m fine…” Chihiro Yukishiro shook her head. “Time is of the essence… We… must act quickly!”

"Well... alright..." Qinglan nodded. "You... you must be careful..."

"Okay." Yukishiro Chihiro nodded, then turned around and looked at Zhu Feifei. "Feifei, let's go!"

After saying that, she grabbed Zhu Feifei and ran towards the altar.

"Chihiro, are we... are we really going there?" Zhu Feifei asked as she ran. "That place... is..."

“That’s right, that’s the center of the ceremony!” Chihiro Yukishiro said. “And also… the place where ‘Moon Shadow’ resides…”

“'Moon Shadow'…” Zhu Feifei murmured to herself, “Who… is he…?”

“You’ll find out soon…” Chihiro Yukishiro said.

The two quickly arrived near the altar, where they saw "Moon Shadow" standing in the center of the altar, with her hands raised high and chanting incantations.

Behind him, the nine-tailed fox demon "Professor" was engaged in a fierce battle with Qinglan and Qianying.

"Now!" Chihiro Yukishiro exclaimed. "Feifei, hurry! Do as I say!"

“Okay!” Zhu Feifei nodded, and then began to act according to Yukishiro Chihiro’s instructions.

He took a deep breath and pushed the power of the nine-bead bracelet to its limit, causing the golden light on his body to grow brighter and brighter.

"Nine-Toothed Rake! Appear!" Zhu Feifei shouted, summoning the Nine-Toothed Rake.

"What are you doing?!" "Moon Shadow" seemed to sense Zhu Feifei's intentions, turned her head, and asked sharply.

"Hehe, guess!" Zhu Feifei grinned, then raised the nine-toothed rake high and smashed it down hard on the altar.

"Don't even think about it!" "Moon Shadow" roared, and with a wave of her hand, a black beam of light shot towards Zhu Feifei.

"Feifei, watch out!" Upon seeing this, Yukishiro Chihiro rushed forward, wanting to shield Zhu Feifei from the attack.

"Chihiro! No!" Zhu Feifei shouted, but it was too late.

"Pfft!" The black beam of light struck Yukishiro Chihiro's body, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood and fly backward.

"Chihiro!" Zhu Feifei's eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to save Yukishiro Chihiro, but the attack of "Moon Shadow" came again.

"Damn it!" Zhu Feifei roared and threw the nine-toothed rake at "Moon Shadow".

"A mere trick!" "Moon Shadow" sneered disdainfully, and with a wave of his hand, a black barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the attack of the Nine-Toothed Rake.

"Hehe, you've fallen for it!" Zhu Feifei suddenly grinned, revealing a sly smile.

"What?!" "Moon Shadow" was stunned. Before she could react, she felt a powerful force coming from behind her.

It turns out that Zhu Feifei's throwing out of the Nine-Toothed Rake was just a feint. His real purpose was to use the "Time Jump" function of the "Moonlight Ring" to instantly move behind "Moon Shadow"!

"Take this 'Thousand Year Kill' from Old Zhu!" Zhu Feifei roared, clenching his fists and fiercely attacking "Moon Shadow's" butt... oh no, it's a certain crucial part of its back...

"Ah!" "Moon Shadow" let out a shrill scream, and her whole body flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the altar.

"Oh my god! This... this is too... too..." Zhu Feifei stared at his hands, his face filled with disbelief. He just... actually... actually succeeded?

"Feifei! Quick! Destroy the altar!" Yukishiro Chihiro's voice interrupted Zhu Feifei's thoughts.

"Oh... Oh... Okay!" Zhu Feifei quickly came to his senses, raised his nine-toothed rake, and smashed it hard against the altar.

"Boom!" A loud noise came, and the altar began to crumble inch by inch under the attack of the nine-toothed rake.

"No! No!" Seeing this, "Moonshadow" let out a desperate roar, "My plan... my..."

He tried to stop Zhu Feifei, but was bound by a powerful force and unable to move.

"This is..." "Moon Shadow" was surprised to find that what was binding him was actually Chihiro Yukishiro's blood!

It turns out that when Chihiro Yukishiro was injured and fell to the ground, she secretly sprinkled her blood around the altar, forming a special barrier that trapped "Tsukikage" inside.

“Chihiro, you…” Zhu Feifei looked at Yukishiro Chihiro, her heart filled with emotion.

"Quickly... Quickly destroy the altar..." Chihiro Yukishiro said weakly, "Only... only in this way... can we stop him..."

"Hmm!" Zhu Feifei nodded, then raised the nine-toothed rake again and smashed it hard against the altar.

With a deafening roar, the altar collapsed completely, turning into a pile of rubble.

"No!" Moonshadow let out a shrill scream as his body began to gradually turn transparent, as if he would disappear at any moment.

“It’s over… It’s all over…” Minako Aso murmured to herself as she awoke from her coma.

"Ms. Minako! Are you alright?!" Zhu Feifei quickly stepped forward to help Minako Aso up.

“I…I’m fine…” Minako Asou shook her head, then looked at “Tsukikage,” “He…he is…”

“He is ‘Tsukikage’…” Chihiro Yukishiro said, “However… he is already…”

Before she could finish speaking, "Moon Shadow's" body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

"Is he... is he dead?" Zhu Feifei asked.

“No… he’s not dead yet…” Chihiro Yukishiro said, “He… he escaped…”

"They escaped?!" Zhu Feifei exclaimed in shock. "Then... what do we do?!"

“He… he will come back…” Chihiro Yukishiro said. “We… must… be prepared…”

After saying that, she could no longer hold on and fainted.

"Chihiro! Chihiro!" Zhu Feifei quickly hugged Yukishiro Chihiro and called out anxiously.

"She's just... exhausted her spiritual energy... and fainted..." Qinglan said as she walked over. "Let's... take her back... to heal her wounds..."

“Hmm…” Zhu Feifei nodded, then carefully picked up Yukishiro Chihiro and followed Aoran and Chiyo out of Tokyo Tower.

……

"Sigh... It's truly... a complete failure..." On a distant high-rise building, Bai Xiaosheng looked in the direction of Tokyo Tower and sighed, "I never expected... 'Moon Shadow' would actually... fail after all..."

"But... that's fine too..." A knowing smile played on his lips. "The game... has only just begun..."

Night had fallen, but the streets of Tokyo remained brightly lit and bustling with traffic.

But at this moment, this bustling city is shrouded in a shadow, and an even greater crisis is quietly brewing.

Zhu Feifei carried Yukishiro Chihiro on the way back to "Phantom Night," her heart filled with confusion and unease.

"Xiaobai, what do you think we should do next?" Zhu Feifei asked in her mind.

“I don’t know either…” The Ringwraith White’s voice was also somewhat heavy, “‘Moonshadow’s’ plan… although it was thwarted… he… will definitely not let it go so easily…”

“Yes…” Zhu Feifei sighed, “This… is really… a huge problem…”

“However… you don’t need to worry too much…” Xiaobai said, “'Moonshadow' is powerful… but… we… are not without a chance of winning…”

"Chances of winning? What chance do we... have left?" Zhu Feifei asked.

"You forgot... you still have... that box?" Xiaobai said.

"You mean... that box that seals away a portion of the nine-tailed fox demon's power?" Zhu Feifei asked.

“That’s right!” Xiaobai said, “That box… might… become the key for us… in our fight against 'Moonshadow'…”

“I hope so…” Zhu Feifei said, looking at the unconscious Yukishiro Chihiro in his arms, silently vowing, “No matter what… I will… protect her…”
