Jusan's Moon Burial Rites II - Restoring Xiaoling’s power

With the help of Kaiping and Gao Bao, Master Peacock manages to find out the whereabouts of Yamamoto Katsuo.

Ma Danna lies to Xiaoling that she can help her to restore her powers. In actual fact, she gives all her powers to the latter. Xiaoling is touched by her great aunt’s action. Ma Danna’s soul then dissipates.

A lot of vampires are standing guard at the gate which leads to the place where the Moon Burial Rites are being carried out. Xiaoling, Tianyou, Gao Bao, Zhengzhong, Master Peacock and Kaiping manage to kill all the vampires. They decided to separate and meet together at the rooftop. Xiaoling and Tianyou as one group. Gao Bao, Zhengzhong, Master Peacock and Kaiping as the other group.

Zhenzhen, under the control of Jusan, goes to find Tianyou and stabs him using Slayer (a knife which even the Lord Buddha is afraid of). Xiaoling wants to fight with Zhenzhen but Tianyou stops her. Tianyou is injured severely by the Slayer.

Tianyou and Xiaoling meet up with their friends again. Peter arrives and shows them the pearl. He is the Wind Star Warrior. They enter the Realm (the place where the Moon Burial Rites is carried out).

Yamamoto Katsuo uses the Slayer to cut Zhenzhen’s wrist so that her blood will drip out. The Moon Burial Rites are about to complete when Tianyou and friends arrive. Tianyou drinks Blood Angel and turns into a monster. Yamamoto Katsuo also changes into a monster.

Jusan's Moon Burial Rites III - The Battle
Xiaoling and Tianyou fight with Yamamoto Katsuo. Tianyou keeps protecting Xiaoling and thus, stands a lower chance of defeating Yamamoto Katsuo. Xiaoling uses Tianyou’s weakness (Tianyou always lets his emotions get the better of him) and stabs herself. On seeing that, Tianyou mutates and becomes more powerful. He uses all his strength to fight with Yamamoto Katsuo. Xiaoling uses Thunderbolt Manoeuvre to attack Yamamoto Katsuo. The latter is injured seriously. Tianyou collapses from all the fighting.

Gao Bao, Zhengzhong, Master Peacock and Peter fight with Jusan. Kaiping goes to save Zhenzhen. They discover that Jusan is actually the reincarnation of Rahu and not Yamamoto Katsuo. Jusan kills the four warriors and injures Zhengzhong. Fortunately, Zhengzhong’s jade (containing Xiaoqing) attacks Jusan. But Xiaoqing is no match to Jusan. Jusan still manages to kill Zhengzhong.

Jusan reveals to Yamamoto Katsuo that he is the Rahu and not Yamamoto Katsuo. Yamamoto Katsuo is actually the last star - the Heaven Star Warrior. The love between Zhenzhen and Yamamoto Katsuo has began since the ancient times. Jusan stabs himself using Slayer so that he can die, turn into a supreme demon and possess Yamamoto Katsuo’s invincible body. Jusan kills Zhenzhen after he possesses Yamamoto Katsuo’s body but before Zhenzhen dies, she tells Yamamoto Katsuo not to give up.

Tianyou feels that he cannot stand up and fight with Rahu. He feels very tired and wants to die right away. Pipi, Ping-ma and Qiu-shu encourage him to stand up again but their efforts are in vain. Finally, Xiu appears in Tianyou’s mind and with her encouragement, he stands up. Tianyou gathers all the four stars’ strength and finally, the 5th star’s strength which Yamamoto Katsuo gives him. He releases the strength(s), thus killing Jusan……

Yamamoto Katsuo tells Zhenzhen: We’ve been waiting through the ages to be together always.

Below is the conversation between Xiaoling and Tianyou after the battle.

Tianyou: Xiaoling.
Xiaoling: Tianyou, will Zhenzhen and Yamamoto Katsuo be reincarnated?
Tianyou: They will be reincarnated. They’ll lead a happy life.
Xiaoling: What about me? I never thought I’d look at the moon in a vampire’s arms. If great aunt
knew about it, she’d be very angry. Remember what I said? The day I die, you’ll die too.
Tianyou: I remember.
Xiaoling: Forget it. I don’t have the strength to destroy you.
Tianyou: Don’t close your eyes. Don’t close your eyes. Don’t close your eyes.
Xiaoling: If I died, would you turn me into a vampire?
Tianyou: I won’t.
Xiaoling: Why?
Tianyou: Because I love you. I won’t turn the woman I love into a vampire. I’m neither a human nor a ghost. I live on blood. Don’t die. Tell me what I can do.
Xiaoling: We’ll meet again in our next lives. We will.
Tianyou: We will.
Jusan's Moon Burial Rites IV - Tianyou’s wish
Lord Buddha and Guanyin give Tianyou a wish as he is touched after seeing all that had happened. Tianyou wishes that 60 years ago, he and Yamamoto Katsuo are not bitten by the Vampire Commander. His wish is granted.
...~ 1938, China ~...

Ma Danna drives the Vampire Commander out of Hongxi Village. Yamamoto Katsuo returns to Japan due to serious injuries. He dies in the year 1984 at the age of 76. There is no news of Guohua.

A New Beginning
...~ 1998, Hong Kong ~...
A new tenant moves in to Jiajia Building. He is Mr Kuang (a CID) and looks exactly like Tianyou. His father died at the age of 60 plus when Mr Kuang is a baby. Mr Kuang finds the surrounding and people in Jiajia Building familiar. Zhengzhong lives with Shouzheng and Jinjie and is believed to be Xuanwu reincarnation. Kaiping lives with Ping-ma and he has a girlfriend - Pipi. Ping-ma accepts Pipi as her son’s girlfriend. Pipi often decocts medicine for Ping-ma to drink and thus, her health is much better. Jiajia works with Guodong. Guodong is well now, with no illness.

Everyone at Jiajia Building gathers at Waiting Bar. At a corner of the Waiting Bar, there is a couple and they are the aged Miki and Ken. Zhenzhen’s friend - Xiaoling has just returned from the States. Mr Kuang brings his buddy (Gao Bao) along. Susu and Xiaoqing treat everyone to “Heart Liquor”. Everything goes quiet after they drink it. Mr Kuang’s eyes fall on Xiaoling and he tells her that they seem to have met before. Xiaoling replies, “maybe”…
