The Bewitching Woman

They prepare for their leave, and Chun Hyang wants to join, but Syaoran tells her to stay here with Sakura. After entering the castle, Syaoran, Kurogane, and Fai wonder around for quite some time. Syaoran soon realizes that they've been going around in a circle, thanks to a bead that he dropped when he first entered the hallway. Fai then feels a certain amount of power coming from behind a wall. Since he won't use magic, Kurogane wonders how he knows. Fai calls it intuition. He then hands Kurogane an object to break down the wall, but he justs ends up using his fist. The damage is incredible, a large hole in the wall was made from a single punch.

At the far end of the room, the lights turn on to reveal the demon witch sitting on a platform. Needing much entertainment, the witch decides to change her surroundings with hijutsu. Now the room as turned into a giant lake of acid, but will solid pillars coming up from lake of acid. In the air are purple/pink bubbles which contain the same substance that of the acid in the lake. With the movements of her hand, the acid bubbles will fly towards the men, in hopes of burning them alive. Although it's hijutus, the damage done is real.

Landing on a lamp post, Fai asks Kurogane to chop off the post to use as a weapon. With a mighty swing from his legs the post becomes a weapon for Fai and Kurogane. Now they are able to smash the acid bubbles before they reach them. Syaoran then finds an opening on the ceiling. Mokona then jumps on Syaoran's shoulder, and with the help of Kurogane's strength, he's catapulted to the opening. Meanwhile, Chun Hyang and Sakura are back in the room sitting across from each other. Suddenly Sakura glows and asks for Chun Hyang's hand because they were going to go somewhere.

Back with Syaoran and Mokona, they've gotten past the opening and were now walking down a dark hallway. They are stopped shortly after by a punch, which Syaoran easily dodged. There stood Ryuban's son in a fighting stance, ready to kill Syaoran.
