I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 31: Taking down the Li family, another storm is brewing; the night patrol team heads to Hong

Seeing that these people were arranged in a circle, combining offense and defense, Ji Lin realized that ordinary methods would not be able to quickly resolve the battle, and there was a possibility of losing many men.

Then a brilliant idea struck him, and he thought of a way that he might be able to try.

He only demonized his right hand, leaped into the air, and activated the skill [Demonic Appearance - Shadow Strike], blasting it downwards with 145 points of attack power towards the densest part of the crowd.

A gigantic fist descended from the sky, like a god descending to earth.

boom!

Several grandmaster-level martial artists were immediately smashed into a bloody pulp, their flesh mangled and blood splattering everywhere. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the floor. The rest of the people were also blasted away, and their formation began to break apart.

Only Grandmaster Li Biaotou was less affected.

"What...what kind of martial arts move is this? How can it have such great power?"

Everyone present was stunned into silence by this attack.

The Li family members were terrified when they saw their companion being smashed into a pulp, and their faces showed expressions of horror.

Tang Wu immediately used [Demonic Appearance - Entanglement] to bind the group, while Liu Qingmei used [Strange - Ice Seal] to separate them with a giant ice pillar.

Ji Lin prioritized killing the four Awakened Ones present to gain attribute points and abnormal points.

【异常点+8，体质+3、精神+2、敏捷+2、力量+1】

Huang Yu then used the [Demon Form - Vertical and Horizontal Slash] to sweep wildly, killing or seriously injuring the remaining people.

Ji Lin and his men swiftly and decisively killed most of the dozen or so members of the Li family.

They only managed to apprehend a few suspected key figures, including Li Biaotou, and locked them up with Ji Changshou to await interrogation.

See if we can get some information about Li Changming, Ji Yongchang, and the Li family.

With enough information, it's only a matter of time before we overthrow the Third Uncle's faction and eliminate the Li family.

At that moment, in a street corner not far from the escort agency, Li Tianming, who was about to lead his men to rescue them, angrily punched and smashed the wall next to him, his brows furrowed.

"Didn't the sect leader send word that this kid from this season is dead? Now we've lost so many elites! This Brother Changshou is truly useless!"

Li Rong, the head of the Li family, remained silent for a moment before saying, "The altar master's information is usually accurate. Perhaps this kid is just too strange... Who knows what kind of magic he used?"

"Let's retreat first and talk about it when we get back."

......

After taking control of the martial arts industry and the escort agency, Ji Lin selected 15 promising individuals and assigned them to the night patrol.

The 45 Night Patrol Guards were reassigned into three teams, with Liu Qingmei, Huang Yu, and Tang Wu serving as team leaders. The Night Patrol Guards were also officially renamed the Night Patrol Team.

Just as they finished dealing with the traitor and the Li family, news of the Blood Lotus Sect arrived.

The number of people suspected of being connected to the Blood Lotus Cult each day has gradually increased from three or four to more than ten, three or four times more than before.

The locations of the blood-stained tattoos are more concealed, especially for some women who have tattooed them on their chests or even their buttocks, making the investigation even more difficult.

Songs and slogans emerged in endless streams, and the group of red-clad men continued to appear outside the city at irregular intervals to spread their doctrines. Every time they organized people to investigate, they would disappear without a trace, which was very strange.

What's even more worrying is that the anomalies along the Huai River have intensified, with the dense fog covering a wider area and at a higher concentration every day.

When people go fishing in the river, they can no longer see anything around them; it's pitch black. Fishermen often go missing, which seriously affects the livelihoods of fishermen who depend on fishing for a living.

It's lamentable that a storm is brewing in Xiong'an County...

Therefore, Ji Lin wanted to continue to exchange resources and information through the Treasure Pavilion and the black market to improve his and his subordinates' strength and produce more targeted equipment.

He first added 4 points each to his physical and mental attributes, and then checked his attribute panel:

【Season Arrival】

[Outliers: 0]

【Strength: 38/50】

Agility: 52/50

[Constitution: 47/50]

[Spirit: 48/50]

[Skills: Demonic Appearance - Shadow Strike, Calamity - Blood Locust, Calamity - Water Illusion]

[Exclusive: Life Reshaping]

[Talent: Heavenly Demonic Pressure]

I wonder what changes will occur after maxing out my attribute points? I need to become stronger as soon as possible and find that fake immortal sect to take revenge.

Ji Lin took stock of the spoils he had acquired after clearing out the anomalies, such as some magical artifacts that could suppress anomalies, which he would use for this black market transaction.

Then he brought Yun Cui to Hongshan County again, but this time the carriage was stopped as soon as it reached the city gate.

"Everyone inside, get out of the car and get for inspection!!" A shout suddenly came from outside.

Upon hearing the commotion, Ji Lin immediately woke up from Yun Cui's embrace and peeked out to see what was happening.

Checkpoints were set up at the city gates, and people were being checked.

Helpless, he had no choice but to put his arm around Yun Cui and get out of the car to undergo the inspection.

The soldiers at the gate couldn't help but glance at Yun Cui's pretty face and tall figure, almost drooling.

"This woman, come with me to the back for a thorough examination," the soldier with the knife said with a wicked grin.

Ji Lin glanced at the man. Although he was indignant, he still wanted to resolve the matter peacefully to avoid trouble.

So he took out two silver ingots from his person and gave each of the two soldiers ten taels, which was almost a quarter's monthly salary for an ordinary soldier.

"Sir, please accept this. I am acquainted with Chief Bai in the city. Could you please do me a favor?"

Upon seeing this, the two men's eyes lit up, and they quickly stuffed the silver ingots into their pockets, whispering something to each other.

"This person looks wealthy. Check their car and their person for anything valuable."

"Won't this cause trouble? If this person is really rich and powerful, can we afford to offend him?"

"When someone comes here, a dragon has to coil up, and a tiger has to lie low! Look at his fair face, he's obviously a spoiled brat. In this day and age, who would go to all this trouble for some silly kid who runs around everywhere? That girl is pretty, don't you want to have some fun?"

At this moment, every word the two said had reached Ji Lin's keen ears.

Unfortunately, neither of them was skilled enough in martial arts to see what was hidden beneath the coat.

Generally speaking, a shrewd underling will recognize his own position and will not easily provoke people or things that he shouldn't mess with; he will know when to quit while he's ahead.

But these two are clearly gambling, hoping to turn their lives around, or perhaps they're driven by lust and have forgotten everything because of sex.

But they were wrong, terribly wrong. The weaker one is in this world, the more careful one should be.

"You think you can get rid of me with this little bit of money? You say you know Chief Bai? What a coincidence, Chief Bai just recognized my cousin as his godson. If you know what's good for you, hand over your stuff, and that girl needs a thorough check too. Rules are rules, and they can't be broken."

"What if I don't?" Ji Lin's eyes widened, his gaze filled with murderous intent.

"How dare you! Take it!!"

As they spoke, the two drew their swords and pointed them at Ji Lin.

He darted forward, positioned himself between the two men, and clapped his hands together forcefully, his enormous palms slamming them directly into the city gate.

The two men crashed violently against the edge of the city gate.

boom!

A flurry of snowflakes suddenly erupted, and a ringing sound filled their ears. They struggled to get up, unable to do so.

Clearly, Ji Lin held back, giving Bai Zhan some face.

However, this action attracted even more soldiers to attack.

"You audacious scoundrel, how dare you cause trouble in my Hongshan County!!"

Startled, Yun Cui quickly hid behind Ji Lin. "Young Master, there are too many of them. Let's go!"

"Don't be afraid!"

After the group of soldiers entered, he used his skill [Calamity - Water Illusion], causing the soldiers to drop their weapons and hug each other, crying and laughing at the same time, making a fool of themselves and attracting laughter from the passersby.

"Young Master Ji, please show mercy. My subordinate was ignorant and inexperienced, please forgive him!" A man in armor stepped forward with his fists clasped.
