Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

The night was as dark as ink, with heavy clouds obscuring half the sky, leaving only a cold moon hanging high in the heavens, casting its silvery light. In the distance, a luxurious villa on the outskirts appeared exceptionally quiet under the moonlight, yet an eerie, oppressive atmosphere permeated the brightly lit interior.

Zhu Feifei stood outside the villa, the Moonlight Ring on his fingertip glowing faintly, its light flickering as if sensing something. His expression was cold and stern, his gaze fixed on the direction of the villa, a hint of suppressed anger and anxiety in his eyes.

“Little White, Su Bing is inside,” he said to the Ringwraith in a low voice, his tone tinged with tension. “But I sense a strong demonic aura. It seems the Black Wind Society members are all here. The situation is not good.”

The Ringwraith Little White snorted in his mind, a hint of worry in his voice: "You idiot, you'd better be careful! The Black Bear Demon's strength is not to be underestimated; he's not an easy opponent to deal with!"

Zhu Feifei clenched her fists, her eyes shining with determination: "Don't worry, Xiaobai, I know what I'm doing. I won't let Su Bing get hurt!"

Taking a deep breath, he silently slipped into the villa. The Moon Ring guided him in the darkness; his keen intuition and the ring's power allowed him to easily evade the patrolling guards, like a cheetah in the night, agile and swift. His goal was clear—to rescue Su Bing.

At the end of the corridor inside the villa, Zhu Feifei gently pushed open a heavy wooden door. Su Bing was bound to an exquisite large bed, her wrists and ankles white from the ropes. Upon seeing him, a flicker of surprise and hope flashed in Su Bing's eyes, but her face quickly turned pale, and the shadow of fear once again enveloped her eyes.

"Feifei, what are you doing here?" she whispered anxiously, her voice filled with panic. "Run! There's an ambush here, they're waiting for you!"

Zhu Feifei's heart skipped a beat, but he did not back down. Instead, he walked firmly to her side and began to untie the ropes binding her: "I will not abandon you. Su Bing, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

However, before he could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, which was then violently kicked open. Several Black Wind Society henchmen rushed in with sinister smiles, their swords flashing, and surrounded them.

"Zhu Feifei, just as we expected, you've arrived!" A burly monster with a face full of scars grinned, his eyes gleaming with greed. "Our boss, Zhao Tianxiong, has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Zhu Feifei shielded Su Bing, his gaze icy as he looked at them, a surge of anger rising within him. He knew things couldn't end well now, but he would never allow these people to harm Su Bing.

"Let her go! Your target is me, don't hurt innocent people!" Zhu Feifei shouted, her eyes filled with fierceness.

"Heh heh, let her go?" Another monster with a pointed snout and monkey-like face chuckled mockingly, pressing a dagger against Su Bing's neck. "You think you have the right to negotiate? If you don't give us the Teardrop Necklace today, none of you will leave here alive!"

Su Bing turned pale with fright, her lips trembling as she looked at Zhu Feifei, her eyes filled with worry and fear. She had never encountered such a terrifying situation before, and her body trembled slightly with fear.

Upon seeing her appearance, Zhu Feifei felt an overwhelming rage. He suddenly raised his hand, and the nine-bead bracelet on his wrist emitted a blazing golden light, transforming into a heavy, nine-toothed rake, its cold light gleaming and exuding murderous intent.

"You're asking for death!" he growled through gritted teeth, his voice filled with boundless killing intent.

The burly monster frowned, seemingly intimidated by Zhu Feifei's sudden aura, but he immediately sneered and waved his hand, signaling, "Go! Kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several Black Wind Society henchmen brandished their weapons and rushed towards Zhu Feifei. A rake swept out with a gust of wind, whistling through the air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several Black Wind Society monsters were struck hard by the rakes, their bodies flying like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily against the wall with dull thuds. The room instantly descended into chaos; tables and chairs were overturned, vases shattered, and the floor was littered with fragments and debris.

Su Bing cowered in the corner of the bed, terrified. She had never witnessed such a fierce fight before, staring in horror at the chaotic scene before her, her palms clammy with cold sweat. Her gaze fell on Zhu Feifei, her heart filled with shock and confusion: "Feifei... how can he possess such strength?"

"You brat, you're pretty good at fighting!" The burly monster got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, roared angrily, and pounced again with the weapon in his hand flashing cold light.

Zhu Feifei's mind raced, and the voice of the Ringwraith Little White echoed in his mind: "Idiot, quickly use your Swift Step to take her away! Don't linger, there's the scent of a Black Bear Demon here!"

Zhu Feifei instantly snapped out of her daze, leaped to Su Bing's side, and quickly untied the ropes binding her wrists: "Su Bing, stay close to me, we have to leave right now!"

However, before they could leave, another series of deep footsteps came from outside the door, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Heh, Zhu Feifei, you've finally shown yourself." A cold voice came from the doorway. Zhao Tianxiong walked in slowly with several of his men, a strange smile on his face.

Zhu Feifei's pupils contracted slightly, and his heart tightened. He shielded Su Bing behind him, glaring angrily: "Zhao Tianxiong, all you want is me. Let her go!"

"Release her?" Zhao Tianxiong sneered, his face full of disdain. "Zhu Feifei, do you think you have the right to negotiate with me? I knew you weren't an ordinary person, and you're not getting away today!"

Zhu Feifei gripped the nine-toothed rake tightly, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead. He looked at Zhao Tianxiong, alarm bells ringing in his mind; he knew the situation was extremely dangerous, and Su Bing would only be a burden here.

"Su Bing, you go quickly! I'll hold them off!" Zhu Feifei whispered to Su Bing, her voice filled with anxiety and determination.

"No, I won't leave!" Su Bing shook her head stubbornly, her eyes firm and resolute. "I want to stay with you!"

Zhu Feifei's heart softened, a surge of emotion welling up within him. But he knew that Su Bing staying would only make the situation more dangerous. His eyes darkened, his tone resolute yet gentle: "Listen to me, Su Bing, go! You're only distracting me!"

A flicker of resentment and pain flashed in Su Bing's eyes, but she knew the situation was extremely dangerous, and Zhu Feifei was right. She gritted her teeth, finally nodded, and turned to leave.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Zhao Tianxiong suddenly gave a sinister smile, shaking a black bell in his hand.

The bell rang crisply, and a strange demonic power instantly flooded the room. Zhu Feifei's body immediately became hot, and the demonic power within him surged uncontrollably. His cheeks gradually turned red, his nose lengthened, and his ears enlarged…

"Oh no... I'm about to transform!" Zhu Feifei whispered in terror, covering her face with her hands, her voice hoarse: "Su Bing, run... don't look!"

However, Su Bing was so shocked by this scene that she couldn't move. As Zhu Feifei's body gradually changed, it lost its human form. His limbs began to thicken, and his skin was covered with a thick layer of black hair. His originally slender figure began to transform into the shape of a pig.

As Zhao Tianxiong continued to shake the bell in his hand, Zhu Feifei's struggles became futile, and he could hardly control the demonic power within his body anymore.

"Feifei!" Su Bing exclaimed in shock, her eyes filled with shock and fear, but her heart was filled with worry for Zhu Feifei. She had never seen such a sight before, and the sight of Zhu Feifei gradually losing her human form made her heart clench.

Zhao Tianxiong watched all this with a sneer, his eyes gleaming with smugness: "This is your true nature, Zhu Feifei? A pig demon, actually trying to play the hero and save the damsel in distress? What a joke!"

Su Bing's heart raced; she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her mind was a mess, but instinctively she took a step forward, wanting to get closer to Zhu Feifei. Even though he no longer seemed like a normal human being, she knew that this Zhu Feifei, now a monster, was still someone she had always trusted.

However, Su Bing was stunned by the sight before her. She saw Zhu Feifei's face constantly changing, eventually transforming into a... pig-headed, human-bodied monster!

"Ah!" Su Bing screamed in terror, her voice piercing the night sky as if to burst eardrums. Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief as she stared at Zhu Feifei before her, her body involuntarily retreating as if she had witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world. "You...you...you're a monster!" she stammered, her lips trembling.

Seeing Su Bing's reaction, Zhao Tianxiong's lips curled into a smug smile. He glanced contemptuously at Zhu Feifei, then turned to Su Bing and said, "Su Bing, now you see? He's not human at all, he's a monster! He approached you to use you, to get your...secret!" His words were like sharp blades, piercing Zhu Feifei's heart.

Zhu Feifei collapsed to his knees in agony, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness. He tried to explain, but found himself unable to control his body; he had become the very thing he least wanted to be. "Su Bing, I..." His voice was hoarse and painful, as if each word had exhausted all his strength. "I...I didn't mean to lie to you...I..." However, before he could finish speaking, Su Bing ruthlessly interrupted him.

"Enough!" Su Bing shouted, tears streaming down her face, mingling with her anger. Her eyes were filled with fear and disgust, as if Zhu Feifei was no longer the person she knew. "Stop talking! I...I don't want to see you again!" She turned and ran out of the room, her footsteps echoing in the silent night.

Zhu Feifei watched Su Bing's departing figure, his heart filled with endless pain and regret. He knew it was all too late; he had lost the most important person in his life, and he had lost his dignity. He silently lowered his head, tears falling to the ground and splashing into tiny water droplets.
