What aunt? They are obviously sisters.

Under the personal pursuit of Amaterasu leader Kageji, Li Ming and Ayako were once again in danger.

The darkness around them surged like a tide, surrounding them tightly. Ying Si's terrifying black fog ability, like a curse from hell, instantly trapped the two of them in an endless illusion.

In an instant, the world seemed to be swallowed by thick black fog, and everything became blurred, unreal and hazy. Li Ming and Ayako hurriedly leaned back to back, watching their surroundings vigilantly. Li Ming's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, searching for any possible flaws in the darkness. His heartbeat was steady and powerful, but at this moment it also accelerated involuntarily, and each beat seemed to hit his chest, reminding them of the huge crisis they were in.

"Ayako, calm down!" Li Ming said in a low voice. Although he was in danger, his voice was still steady and powerful, as if it could penetrate the layers of black fog and bring a sense of peace of mind to people.

Ayako bit her lips tightly, trying to suppress her inner panic. Her slightly trembling hands revealed her nervousness at the moment, but her eyes flashed with determination. She knew that at this critical moment, if she lost her mind, the only thing waiting for them was destruction, so she tried her best to calm herself down, and her eyes followed Li Ming to search for life in this strange environment.

In the illusion, strange and terrifying scenes kept changing and appearing like a kaleidoscope.

First, a barren desert appeared before their eyes without warning. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, emitting high temperatures that burned everything. The rolling heat waves hit their faces, making them feel dry mouth and tongue in an instant, as if all the water in their bodies was about to evaporate.

"What's going on?" Ayako couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Li Ming frowned and said quickly: "This is just an illusion in the illusion. We can't be fooled by it."

Before they could recover from the shock, the surroundings instantly turned into a gloomy and terrifying forest. The darkness spread like a substance, and it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark. From time to time, eerie growls were heard, as if some unknown terrifying creature was waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Li Ming frowned, and beads of sweat gradually oozed out of his forehead. His brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to break this tricky illusion. He knew that Ying Si's black fog ability was extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. If he wanted to escape, he had to accurately find its hidden weaknesses.

At this moment, a huge and ferocious monster suddenly rushed out from the darkness, with its fangs and claws bared, and a disgusting breath coming out of its mouth, and it pounced straight towards Li Ming and Ayako.

Li Ming's eyes flashed, and he quickly pulled Ayako aside. The monster's sharp claws scraped past the corners of their clothes and slammed into the illusory object beside them, making a deafening noise, and the entire illusion seemed to shake a few times.

"This is just an illusion in the dream. We can't be fooled by it." Li Ming panted and whispered to Ayako, while observing the monster's subsequent actions intently, trying to find a pattern from them.

Ayako nodded nervously and said, "I know, Li Ming. But these monsters look so scary."

After careful observation, Li Ming discovered that the monster's seemingly ferocious attacks actually followed a certain rhythm and pattern, which ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Ayako also forced herself to put aside all distractions and pay full attention to the subtle details of her surroundings, not missing any clues that might become a breakthrough point.

But before they could recover, several equally terrifying monsters rushed over from different directions. For a moment, roars and howls filled the entire illusion.

Li Ming and Ayako could only keep dodging everywhere. Their figures quickly shuttled through this illusion, like a small boat struggling to sail in a storm, which could be swallowed up by the surging waves at any time.

"This is not a solution." Li Ming was secretly anxious. He knew that if he kept dodging passively, he would sooner or later be exhausted by the endless attacks and eventually die here.

Ayako also realized the seriousness of the problem. She asked anxiously, "What should we do, Li Ming?"

Li Ming took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, concentrated all his energy, and tried to feel the subtle yet real energy fluctuations around him.

In the darkness and silence, Li Ming seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, beat after beat, steady and powerful.

Gradually, he seemed to catch a very faint but unique and strange breath. That breath seemed to be a crack in this illusion, revealing the reality of the outside world.

"There!" Li Ming suddenly opened his eyes, with excitement and determination flashing in his eyes. He raised his hand and pointed firmly in a direction.

Ayako looked in the direction he pointed, but saw only a vast expanse of black fog and found nothing. Confusion and worry were revealed in her eyes.

"Believe me." Li Ming's tone was firm and unquestionable.

After saying that, he held Ayako's hand tightly and rushed resolutely in the direction he had determined.

Along the way, various monsters continued to pour in from all directions, launching round after round of fierce attacks.

Li Ming was fully focused, relying on his sharp reaction and deep and powerful strength to defuse crises time and time again. He either dodged the monster's claws or used strong Qi to repel the monster. Every move was clean and neat, without any drag, opening up a path for the two to move forward.

"Li Ming, you are so awesome!" Ayako couldn't help but admire.

While dealing with the monster's attack, Li Ming said, "Don't be distracted. Be careful around you."

After dodging and fighting back for an unknown amount of time, they finally came to a seemingly ordinary place. There were no more monsters harassing them around, but the thick black fog was still there, making people feel creepy.

However, relying on his keen perception, Li Ming was certain that the presence of Ying Si was hidden here. It was a dangerous yet familiar feeling, just like a hunter locking onto the trace of his prey in the dark.

"Come out, Yingsi!" Li Ming summoned up all his strength and shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the illusion like a huge bell, with irresistible majesty, as if to break through the layers of black fog.

After a moment of dead silence, Yingsi's figure slowly emerged from the black fog.

He stood there with a sneer of contempt on his face, his eyes revealing a self-confidence that was so strong that it was almost arrogance, as if Li Ming and Ayako in front of him were just turtles in a jar, ready to be manipulated by him.

"Do you think you can find me so easily?" Ying Si said, his voice low but full of sarcasm.

Li Ming snorted coldly, looked at Ying Si without fear, and said, "Your illusion can't trap us." Before he finished speaking, Ying Si waved his hands lightly, and the black mist around him instantly surged as if it had life, turning into countless black tentacles, twisting and stretching, sweeping towards Li Ming and Ayako. The scene was like a group of demons dancing wildly, which made people shudder.

Li Ming snorted coldly, without any fear, and stomped his feet on the ground. A strong energy burst out from his palms, like a raging whirlwind, sweeping towards the dense black tentacles.

There was a crackling sound, and the black tentacles that touched the energy broke one after another, dissipated in the air, and turned into wisps of black smoke.

Seeing this, Ayako was not willing to be outdone.

She knew very well that the situation was critical, so she took out the bottle of medicine from her pocket again without hesitation and drank it all in one gulp.

In an instant, a powerful energy burst out from her body like a volcanic eruption, and a faint glow appeared around her, as if she was shrouded in a layer of sacred light.

"Li Ming, I'm ready!" Ayako shouted.

She swung her hands violently, and a dazzling light shot out from her hands, shooting straight towards Ying Si like a sharp sword, at such a speed that people didn't have time to blink.

Yingji obviously didn't expect Ayako to suddenly burst out with such powerful force. He was unable to dodge and was hit hard in the chest by the light.

He groaned, his body flew backwards several meters and hit the illusory wall heavily. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the originally confident expression on his face instantly became distorted and painful. It was obvious that he had suffered considerable injuries.

However, Yingsi is the leader of Amaterasu after all, and his strength should not be underestimated.

He endured the severe pain, and the ferocity in his eyes intensified. Not only did he not show any intention of retreating, but instead, he seemed to be completely enraged, and he drove the black fog to attack even more frantically.

The remaining black tentacles became thicker and more flexible, and they came towards Li Ming and Ayako from all tricky angles. At the same time, he summoned more monsters of various shapes from the black fog to join the melee.

Li Ming and Ayako did not dare to slack off at all. They cooperated closely, standing back to back and relying on each other, and launched a thrilling, life-and-death fierce confrontation with Yingsi.

Li Ming used all his strength, his fists whistling, each punch contained a thousand pounds of force, and wherever it went, the black tentacles were shattered; his footwork was sharp, and every kick could push the monsters that pounced on him back several meters.

"Yingsi, your attack is useless to me!" Li Ming shouted.

Ayako used the energy boost brought by the potion to continuously release rays of light, either interfering with Yingsi's attacks or directly attacking the monsters to relieve the pressure on Li Ming.

"Li Ming, be careful on the left!" Ayako warned loudly.

Si's eyes widened, and he tried to dodge but it was too late. He could only watch as these two powerful forces came towards him.

Their figures flashed and moved quickly in this illusion, and it was impossible to tell what was real and what was illusory. All they could see were bursts of light and dark shadows colliding with each other. Every collision was accompanied by a deafening sound, and the entire illusion seemed to be crumbling in this fierce battle.

As time went by, although Yingsi's attacks were still fierce, they were obviously becoming slower. The endless black fog gradually became thinner, and the number of summoned monsters became less and less.

Si's eyes widened, and he tried to dodge but it was too late. He could only watch as these two powerful forces came towards him.

Obviously, the long-term and high-intensity fighting had consumed a huge amount of his physical strength and supernatural powers, and he gradually showed signs of fatigue.

Li Ming keenly noticed this change. He and Ayako looked at each other, and they both understood each other instantly. They seized this rare opportunity and launched a more fierce joint attack.

Li Ming shouted loudly, and gathered all his strength on his right fist. A layer of dazzling light appeared around his right fist. The light was as hot as the sun and contained the power to destroy the world.

He rushed towards Yingsi suddenly, his speed was so fast that only a shadow was left. The moment he got close to Yingsi, he punched with all his strength.

At the same time, Ayako gathered all the remaining energy in her body, pushed her hands forward, and an extremely thick column of light shot towards Yingsi, complementing Li Ming's attack to form an invincible force.

Yingsi's eyes widened, and he wanted to dodge but it was too late. He could only watch as these two powerful forces came towards him.

There was a loud bang, and Yingsi was hit by this powerful force and flew out like a kite with a broken string. His body slammed into the illusory wall again, and this time the impact was even stronger. Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the wall. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground. He struggled for a few times but was no longer able to stand up. His eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment. He said weakly: "You... won't succeed..." After saying this, his head tilted and he fainted.

Li Ming and Ayako looked at Ying Si who was lying on the ground, but they did not feel relaxed at all.

They knew that this battle only temporarily repelled the enemy in front of them, but a greater crisis still lurked in the dark, and countless unknown difficulties and obstacles awaited them in the future.

At this moment, due to the impact of this fierce battle, the entire experimental base began to collapse violently around them.

Stones fell one after another, raising dust all over the sky, flames spread everywhere, accompanied by crackling sounds, as if the end of the world had come.

Li Ming and Lingzi did not dare to delay and hurriedly shuttled through the ruins. They nimbly dodged the falling rocks and flying debris. (End of this chapter)
