I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 60 Infiltration, Fog; Silver-Rank Assassin, Escape

On a dark and stormy night, Ji Lin's elite seven-man squad was rubbing their hands together, lying in ambush in a low building outside the Li residence.

Prior to this, he had already sent his best men to roam the streets to distract the Li family's spies.

Just when everyone thought the two families were preparing for a decisive battle, who would have thought that the young master of the Ji family had already made his way to the Li family's doorstep?

That night, contrary to usual, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the moonlight overhead was covered by dark clouds, with only the Li residence brightly lit.

The Li residence is a seven-courtyard complex, with the head of the Li family residing in the main house of the third courtyard.

Kong Zhixian used the [Disaster Mist] to cover the seven people and isolate his own aura.

The seven men quietly approached the wall outside the three courtyards, intending to scale the wall and storm into Li Rong's room.

The mist slowly rose onto the wall, and the seven people rode along the wall, following the mist.

This is the core area of ​​the seven courtyards of the Li family mansion, and also the most heavily guarded place.

Looking around, Ji Lin saw that the mansion was not only filled with numerous guards and martial arts masters, but also with assassins from the Shadow Studio and remnants of the Blood Lotus Cult lying in ambush.

"Damn it, Li Rong even recruited members of the Blood Lotus Cult. He's hopeless," Ji Lin muttered.

"Could the Blood Lotus Sect also be related to them?" Liu Qingmei wondered.

"Probably not. There's a truly bizarre entity behind the Blood Lotus Cult. If they can even control such a bizarre entity, that would be far too terrifying."

He thought about it for a moment. It had nothing to do with the Li family, but it might not be unrelated to the photo studio. Suddenly, his heart tightened.

"Brother, what do we do now?" Huang Yu asked.

Ji Lin used his Insight skill to scan the area. "There aren't any experts among them? If Li Rong is inside, then we've succeeded."

"However, judging from this situation, he is most likely not inside."

"First, let the fog shroud this courtyard. I'll go straight into the room and take a look. You all wait for your chance to act."

"If you're not discovered, keep lying in wait. If I am discovered, then we'll have to fight."

Upon hearing this, Kong Zhi first shrouded the courtyard in a thin layer of mist, which then gradually deepened.

By the time the enemies inside the courtyard realized what was happening, they had already been misled by the thick fog and were hallucinating.

At this moment, Ji Lin, whose legs had been corrupted, had already slipped out of the room. The entire process was so swift that even the people present didn't see it clearly.

"It's not here, you might have to go to the next courtyard," Ji Lin said casually.

Liu Qingmei and the others stood there stunned. "When did you go down? Now I have reason to suspect that you are not the real Young Master Ji."

"Hey buddy, do you remember where we first worked together?"

Ji Lin whispered a few words in her ear, and Liu Qingmei's face immediately turned bright red.

Just as Huang Yu was about to approach, Ji Lin muttered a curse, "Get lost, big beard."

"Looks like you really are a guy. Now what should we do?"

"Let's go check out the next courtyard," Ji Lin waved his hand.

The seven people jumped down from the wall and landed on the wall of the fourth courtyard.

The person below, dressed in a black cloak, immediately noticed the smoke rising from the wall.

He glanced in this direction, then turned his whole body around.

Ji Lin's expression changed slightly, and he gestured for the others to step back, "There's an expert here, go down first."

"It seems that Li Rong is very likely in the main house of this four-courtyard house."

"There are skilled guards outside, so this operation will likely be very difficult."

Upon hearing this, the group felt a sudden tightness in their chests.

He had just used his Insight skill to discover that the man in black was a martial artist who had transcended the ordinary.

Judging from his attire, he looked almost exactly like the photo studio killer we encountered before.

The only difference is that this expert's clothes have more texture, better fabric, and look more expensive.

Especially the martial arts he learned, such as the extremely powerful [Nine Yin Claw].

This man is at least a top-tier assassin at the photo studio; he's an extremely dangerous individual.

"Boss, how should we fight this time?" Tang Wu asked.

"The three outside the door are the strongest; I'll deal with them."

"Clear out the scattered enemies quickly, following the previous plan."

Ji Lin gestured a few times on the wall with his hands.

"Can you handle three experts by yourself?" Liu Qingmei asked nervously.

"Don't worry, I won't die."

"Who cares whether you live or die? I'm afraid you'll ruin everything."

"As long as you're quick, this won't be a problem," Ji Lin said calmly.

The group nodded in agreement.

Ji Lin signaled Kong Zhi to begin the operation, and the mist once again leaped onto the wall.

Gradually infiltrating the entire courtyard, Ji Lin had already activated the skill [Shadow Strike] on the photo studio assassin.

His figure suddenly appeared behind the man, and he was immediately so frightened that his pupils shrank.

Just as Ji Lin made his move, he quickly turned and retreated, gathering his true energy to unleash a claw that struck Ji Lin's hand.

Boom!!

With a deafening roar, the entire courtyard shook.

The commotion immediately alerted everyone in the Li household, and a cacophony of footsteps and shouts erupted: "Assassins!!! Protect the patriarch!!"

The attack just now consumed a lot of Ji Lin's energy. He can't delay any longer and must finish the battle quickly.

The assassin from the photo studio was even more shocked after exchanging blows with Ji Lin, never expecting that this ordinary punch would possess such extraordinary power.

"He's a master!!"

The two martial arts masters behind him, who had just entered the realm of transcendence, both attacked Ji Lin with their palms.

Unbeknownst to the two, they were about to face Ji Lin's red fist after he unleashed [Boiling Blood].

A huge red iron fist sent two martial arts masters flying with a single punch.

He seemed to hear two crisp cracking sounds of bones breaking.

After knocking the two men away, he then launched a blast at the studio assassin.

The man clearly dared not take his attack head-on again and quickly dodged away.

He immediately gave chase, unleashing three punches that missed, only producing a few popping sounds in the air. He then continued his pursuit, giving the man no chance to catch his breath.

The remaining six, following their previous plan, had Kong Zhi first shroud the entire courtyard in mist to confuse the enemy.

Sun Xiaolong immediately summoned several whirlwinds, blowing all the enemies present into the air.

At the same time, Liu Qingmei continued to fire ice spikes, piercing through their bodies.

Tang Wu was responsible for holding back several powerful enemies, while Huang Yu and Zhang Debiao worked together to finish off the rest.

The group quickly cleaned up almost all the miscellaneous fish from the Li family's house, and the whole process went very smoothly.

"Quick!! Go in and kill them!!" The shouts continued to approach.

Ahead, hundreds more were rushing into the fourth courtyard, and they could only continue to fight off the approaching enemy.

Only Ji Lin and the studio assassin were in the courtyard, locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

After a dozen or twenty rounds of fighting, he had a good understanding of the other person's strength. He was probably in the mid-stage of the Transcendent Saint realm, stronger than himself, but still much weaker than Zhang Liang.

Under the full force of the attack, Ji Lin had no speed advantage and could only quickly transform his demonic body to withstand the attack.

His fur coat was now stained red with blood, and his body was covered in scratches.

However, the studio assassin was also punched several times by Ji Lin and was seriously injured.

To outsiders, the life-or-death duel between two masters turned out to be a rather unwatchable brawl, with each of them exchanging punches and claws.

Suddenly, Ji Lin realized that the man's attack was coming straight at his right chest. Since he couldn't dodge it anyway, he went to meet it head-on, letting the man's sharp Nine Yin Claw pierce through his right chest.

"Pfft!!"

Ji Lin's body was as fragile as paper; it was pierced by the man's right hand, and black blood immediately gushed out.

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain shoot straight into my brain, my breathing became difficult, and with a whoosh, I almost fainted.

Time did not allow him much time to adjust; his right side was still trembling.

Despite the excruciating pain, he immediately grabbed the man's arm, twisted it forcefully, and the entire arm was severed.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The man screamed in agony, then Ji Lin punched him in the throat, shattering his entire neck bone and killing him instantly.

Then Li Rong staggered out the back door, leading the others in a disheveled escape towards the backyard...
