Rakshasa Street Episode 22 Recap
> Rakshasa Street Recap
As Cao Yanbing approached Nanshan, Nan Yufu received reports of his attack. He commanded his trusted subordinate, Taiwei, to extract the Wushangguo from Beiluo Shimen, knowing this act would be fatal for Beiluo Shimen. He then instructed Ziwei to kill Shuier and Dog in the prison, considering them "irrelevant," and ordered Tianshi to guard the exterior and kill Cao Yanbing on sight.
Alone, Nan Yufu mused with a conflicted laugh, both wishing and not wishing for Cao Yanbing to reach him, hinting at a grand "gift" awaiting his arrival. Taiwei, also known as Wu Ming, confronted Beiluo Shimen in his cell. Beiluo Shimen, identifying Taiwei as Nan Yufu's confidant, urgently asked about his daughter, Shuier. Taiwei assured him Shuier was not harmed, but confirmed that her illness required the Wushangguo, which resided within Beiluo Shimen himself.
Taiwei admitted he was there to extract it. Beiluo Shimen, feeling helpless, consented, but questioned if his daughter would be saved. Taiwei extracted the Wushangguo, causing Beiluo Shimen immense pain. Taiwei then informed him that without it, he would not live much longer, adding that he would soon be reunited with his loved ones in another world. Cao Yanbing, Zhao Xin, and Xia Ling arrived at the prison.
Cao Yanbing instructed Zhao Xin and Xia Ling to care for Shuier and Dog, while he went to find Beiluo Shimen. Upon seeing Shuier and Dog, their faces withered and aged by illness, Xia Ling was horrified. Zhao Xin quickly administered a secret medicine from 'Mr. Ghost' to stabilize their condition, though it couldn't fully cure them. They brought Shuier to Beiluo Shimen's cell, where he was barely clinging to life.
Beiluo Shimen, seeing his daughter, expressed deep regret and told Cao Yanbing that the fire of hell never extinguishes, urging him to find Nan Yufu and bring him to the other world to face him. With that, Beiluo Shimen appeared to succumb, his eyes closing amidst Shuier's tearful cries. Xia Ling suddenly recalled that the Lingling Letter had reacted when Shuier touched it, displaying text. She deduced that Shuier was Beiluo Shimen's daughter.
Cao Yanbing then fully realized that Beiluo Shimen, whose real name was Bai Shimen, was the true master of the Bai family. This explained why he was the only one capable of subduing the Spirit Monkey and serving as a vessel for the Wushangguo, and why Nan Yufu had appointed him as a Zhenhun General of Yulin Street. He urged Xia Ling to give the Lingling Letter to Beiluo Shimen.
As the letter touched Beiluo Shimen, it glowed, displayed ancient script, and miraculously revived him. Beiluo Shimen awoke, apologizing to Shuier for her suffering, who, in turn, reassured him it wasn't his fault. Beiluo Shimen, now revived, readily agreed to join Cao Yanbing in confronting Nan Yufu to retrieve the Wushangguo and save the children. Cao Yanbing instructed Zhao Xin and Xia Ling to stay behind and protect Shuier and Dog, promising to find the Wushangguo to cure them.
He then discreetly warned Zhao Xin about the powerful entity locked within Xia Ling by the Lock Chain, emphasizing the importance of keeping her safe. Soon after they departed, Ziwei arrived at the prison, as ordered by Nan Yufu. Zhao Xin, recognizing her, told Xia Ling to take the children and hide, reiterating Cao Yanbing's warning not to awaken Li Xuan. . . , before confronting Ziwei himself.
Ziwei mocked Zhao Xin, stating she had no reservations about fighting women, unlike Cao Yanbing. As Cao Yanbing and Beiluo Shimen pressed on towards the main palace, they encountered Tianshi, who was guarding the path. Beiluo Shimen volunteered to handle Tianshi, allowing Cao Yanbing to proceed alone to settle accounts with Nan Yufu. Beiluo Shimen and Tianshi then engaged in a fierce battle, summoning their powerful guardian spirits, Stone Spirit and Dark Ox, respectively.
Meanwhile, Cao Yanbing was intercepted by Hattori, who summoned her guardian spirit, Shimazu Yoshihiro. Cao Yanbing unleashed his own guardian spirits, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, swiftly overpowering Hattori. Recognizing Cao Yanbing's Martial God Body, Hattori, in defeat, asked him to kill her. Cao Yanbing declined, stating that while he wished not to be her enemy, everyone has their own destiny, and he left her alive. Finally, Cao Yanbing reached the main hall and confronted Nan Yufu.
With confidence, Cao Yanbing demanded the Wushangguo and Ling Huai Zhi, and prepared to summon his guardian spirits for a swift battle. Nan Yufu, however, remained unfazed and scornful. He revealed that he was neither a Spirit User nor did he possess a guardian spirit, yet he showed no fear towards Cao Yanbing. Back in the prison, the battle between Zhao Xin and Ziwei intensified. Ziwei summoned her guardian spirit, Nokihime, while Zhao Xin called upon Xu Xiu.
Seeing Zhao Xin struggling and on the defensive, Xia Ling instinctively tried to intervene, inadvertently distracting him. This lapse allowed Ziwei to gain the upper hand, defeating Zhao Xin. Ziwei then used her power to violently restore Xia Ling's suppressed memories of the traumatic bus accident, causing Xia Ling immense anguish and reliving the nightmare of losing her mother and daughter.
Ziwei, relishing Xia Ling's pain, threatened to kill Shuier and Dog, aiming to recreate the past trauma before Xia Ling's eyes. Overwhelmed by fear and rage, Xia Ling's emotions surged, causing the Lock Chain on her arm to melt and break apart. In a burst of demonic energy, Li Xuan. . . emerged, in his uncontrolled, enraged form, and instantly obliterated Ziwei.
