Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

"Damn it, how dare you ruin my plans!" Shinji Kurokawa, the "Shadow Warrior" who had revealed his true form, roared, his voice now hoarse and unpleasant, like the howl of a wild beast.

His entire body was covered in black scales that shimmered with a cold luster. The horns on his head were like two sharp scimitars, and a pair of huge fleshy wings on his back suddenly spread out, blotting out the sky and plunging the entire studio into shadow.

"What...what kind of monster is this?!" The TV station staff scattered in terror, and the studio was in chaos.

"Don't panic, everyone! This is a 'Shadow Warrior,' a high-ranking member of the 'Dark Moon' organization!" Qinglan shouted, trying to calm everyone down. "Colleagues of the Demon Exorcism Division, protect the people and evacuate!"

"Heh heh, only now you think of protecting us? Too late!" Shinji Kurokawa grinned maliciously, flapping his wings and a gust of wind swept through the entire studio, lifting tables, chairs, lights, cameras... everything into the air as if a tornado had passed through.

"Ah—Help!" Terrified screams erupted from the crowd.

"Feifei, what should we do?" Yukishiro Chihiro gripped Zhu Feifei's arm tightly, her face pale.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Zhu Feifei comforted her, using the tail of the nine-tailed celestial fox to protect Yukishiro Chihiro behind her while dealing with the danger.

"Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Transformation!"

Zhu Feifei roared, and her body was once again enveloped in golden light. However, this transformation was different from the previous one.

His body did not completely transform into a nine-tailed celestial fox, but remained in human form. However, nine golden fox tail phantoms appeared behind him, dancing in the air like nine golden whips, whipping away all the surrounding debris.

Moreover, thanks to the previously acquired supernatural abilities of "clairvoyance," "clairaudience," and "invisibility," the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's phantom image has been strengthened, enabling it not only to be used for attack and defense but also to confuse the enemy's vision.

"Oh? You have that trick up your sleeve?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shinji Kurokawa's eyes. "It seems you're even more difficult to deal with than I thought!"

"Hmph, let me show you how powerful I, Old Zhu, am!" Zhu Feifei snorted coldly, and nine phantom fox tails coiled around Kurokawa Shinji like serpents.

Shinji Kurokawa dodged the fox tail's attack with a swift movement. He flapped his enormous wings, flew into the air, and then swooped down, spewing a ball of black flame at Zhu Feifei.

"This is 'Shadow Demon Flame,' be careful!" Qinglan warned.

Zhu Feifei dared not delay and immediately activated "Burning Heaven Flames". Golden flames blazed on the nine fox tail phantoms, colliding with the black demonic flames.

With a deafening roar, the two flames intertwined and devoured each other, unleashing a powerful energy surge that shattered the surrounding walls.

"Haha, that's interesting!" Shinji Kurokawa laughed loudly. "Again!"

He flapped his wings again and charged towards Zhu Feifei. His hands transformed into sharp claws, gleaming with a cold black light, as he reached for Zhu Feifei's vitals.

Zhu Feifei was not to be outdone. He transformed his nine-bead bracelet back into a nine-toothed rake and engaged in fierce close combat with Kurokawa Shinji.

The two exchanged blows, locked in a fierce and evenly matched fight. Shinji Kurokawa's attacks were ruthless and vicious, each strike potentially fatal, and his body was incredibly tough, making him impervious to ordinary attacks.

Despite having the "Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Transformation" and the Nine-Toothed Rake, Zhu Feifei still found it somewhat difficult to defeat the demonized Kurokawa Shinji. Furthermore, he also had to protect Yukishiro Chihiro and the others present, which put him at a disadvantage for a time.

"Feifei, be careful!" Yukishiro Chihiro was filled with worry as she watched Zhu Feifei in perilous situations.

"This idiot, why isn't he getting serious yet?" Little White the Ringwraith was jumping up and down anxiously inside the ring. "If this keeps up, he's definitely going to suffer!"

"Heh heh, Zhu Feifei, is that all you've got?" Shinji Kurokawa laughed smugly. "Looks like you're going to die here today!"

"Bullshit!" Zhu Feifei cursed angrily, "I, Old Zhu, haven't even gotten married yet, how could I possibly die here!"

As he spoke, he secretly activated his "Hearing All the Wind" ability, searching for Kurokawa Shinji's weakness. "Damn it, this guy is covered in scales, there's no way to get a hold of him!"

"Feifei, his wings! Attack his wings!" Just then, Yukishiro Chihiro suddenly shouted.

Zhu Feifei was taken aback, then understood what Yukishiro Chihiro meant. While Kurokawa Shinji's wings were enormous, they had become a burden; attacking his wings would restrict his movement!

"Great idea!" Zhu Feifei's eyes lit up. He feinted, then suddenly leaned back, using "invisibility" to conceal his figure. Nine phantom fox tails wrapped around Kurokawa Shinji's wings from different directions.

At the same time, he used his "clairvoyance" ability to see through Shinji Kurokawa's movements and predict his attack route in advance.

When Shinji Kurokawa saw Zhu Feifei suddenly disappear, he was startled and hurriedly waved his claws, trying to shatter the fox tail phantom.

However, Zhu Feifei's "clairvoyance" allowed her to anticipate his movements and use her "clairaudience" to hear the subtle sounds of his wings flapping. Zhu Feifei was always one step ahead of him, dodging his attacks and wrapping the phantom of her fox tail around his wings.

"Damn it!" Shinji Kurokawa roared, he hadn't expected Zhu Feifei to have this trick up her sleeve.

"Hehe, let me show you what I, Old Zhu, am capable of!" Zhu Feifei's voice came from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint his location.

He activated "Burning Heaven Flames," and golden flames blazed on the nine phantom fox tails, burning towards Shinji Kurokawa's wings.

"Ah—!" Shinji Kurokawa screamed as his wings were burned by the flames, causing him to lose his balance and fall from the sky.

"Now!" Upon seeing this, Zhu Feifei quickly deactivated his "invisibility spell," revealing himself. He raised his nine-toothed rake high and smashed it down toward Kurokawa Shinji's head.

"Stop!" Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

Zhu Feifei's nine-toothed rake stopped just centimeters from Kurokawa Shinji's head.

He turned his head and saw Tamamo-no-Mae standing at the entrance of the studio, looking at him anxiously.

"Tamamo-no-Mae? What brings you here?" Zhu Feifei asked.

“I’ll stop you,” Tamamo-no-Mae said. “You can’t kill him.”

"Why?" Zhu Feifei asked, puzzled. "He's a member of the 'Dark Moon' organization, and he even wants to use Tokyo Tower to perform an evil ritual!"

“I know, but…” Tamamo-no-Mae hesitated, as if she had something difficult to say.

"But what?" Zhu Feifei pressed.

"In short, you can't kill him!" Tamamo-no-Mae pleaded. "I'm begging you!"

Zhu Feifei looked at Tamamo-no-Mae's pleading eyes, his heart filled with doubt. He didn't know why Tamamo-no-Mae wanted to protect Kurokawa Shinji, but he knew she must have her reasons.

“Okay, I agree.” Zhu Feifei finally put down the nine-toothed rake in her hand. “However, I have one condition.”

"What are the conditions?" Tamamo-no-Mae asked.

"I need to know 'Moon Shadow's' plan, and the whereabouts of Minako Aso!" Zhu Feifei said.

“I…” Tamamo-no-Mae hesitated for a moment, then said, “Okay, I’ll tell you.”

She walked to Zhu Feifei's side and whispered in his ear, "'Moon Shadow's' plan is to use Tokyo Tower as an altar, and use Minako Aso's soul as a sacrifice, to summon the true form of the Nine-Tailed Fox to descend to the mortal world..."

"What?!" Zhu Feifei was shocked. "He actually wants to summon the true form of the Nine-Tailed Fox? Has he gone mad?!"

“He’s not crazy, he just wants to…” Before Tamamo-no-Mae could finish speaking, a violent explosion suddenly came from outside.

"Boom--!"

The entire studio shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Oh no, 'Moon Shadow' has started its operation!" Qinglan's expression changed, and she hurriedly said.

“We must stop him immediately!” Chisakura said.

"But what should we do?" Chihiro Yukishiro asked.

“I know a way, but…” Tamamo-no-Mae hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

"But what? Tell me quickly!" Zhu Feifei asked anxiously.

“However, this method requires… requires your cooperation.” Tamamo-no-Mae looked at Zhu Feifei, a complex expression flashing in her eyes.

"Do you need my cooperation? How?" Zhu Feifei asked.

“You…come with me.” Tamamo-no-Mae said, turning and walking towards the door.

Although Zhu Feifei was filled with doubts, she still followed.

"Feifei, be careful!" Yukishiro Chihiro called out from behind.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" Zhu Feifei said without turning her head.

The two left the studio one after the other, leaving behind a group of bewildered people.

"Where are they going?" Chisakura asked.

"I don't know." Qinglan shook her head. "Hopefully they can stop 'Moonshadow's' plan."

At this moment, everyone's fate rests on Zhu Feifei and Tamamo-no-Mae's shoulders.

But the crisis at Tokyo Tower has only just begun...
