With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

Even Esdeath herself might not have survived the attack by more than twenty contractors. At that level, who wouldn't have a few trump cards or special moves?

Of course, this is all predicated on these contractors being prepared to fight to the death, rather than retreating at the first sign of trouble...

While Mahapajapati Gotama, who can freeze time, is indeed dangerous, Yang Li can also stop time, but he cannot attack someone who is defenseless while in time.

Aside from the fact that launching an attack would cause the time stop to be canceled, Yang Li's time stop ability might be even more dangerous than Esdeath's Makopotmo.

After all, she can use her time stop repeatedly, while Esdeath can only use it once a day at most...

"Exactly! So what if we have the (manufacturing technology)? Do you expect me to rob it? I want to live a little longer."

The bartender chuckled again. In his guess, this was an opportunity given to the contractors by 'Abyss Paradise'—a good chance to achieve a secondary profession.

The legendary alchemy, its pinnacle is the Philosopher's Stone, capable of bringing the dead back to life. Who wouldn't want something like that? Imperial Arms are also rare and precious items.

Moreover, once a production plan is available, the materials can be replaced, making it possible for even a mere purple-tier Imperial Arms to reach greater heights.

What if we used those super-high-level fantasy creatures instead? The weapons they created wouldn't be Imperial Arms, but legendary divine weapons.

"By the way, seeing how well you're doing now, have you already built up a good relationship with them (Night Raid)? How did you do it?"

The moment Yang Li finished speaking, she noticed that the bartender's body stiffened for a moment, and his light laughter turned into a rather helpless bitter laugh.

After a moment of deep thought, the bartender's rather miserable voice rang out.

"It's all my fault for being so reckless as to reveal my bartending skills, which led to me being constantly harassed by one of the drunkards among them (Night Raid)..."

As the bartender slowly recounted his story, Yang Li's mind conjured up images of a blonde, large-breasted, beast-eared girl. The bartender was indeed a notorious heavy drinker.

Not only does he enjoy drinking, but he also seems to have a low alcohol tolerance and terrible behavior when drunk; he loves to act crazy when he's intoxicated...

"In the end, I couldn't resist her (Leone), so I mischievously mixed a drink with an alcohol content of 92 degrees. You know, the alcohol content of alcohol in this world is far lower than that of Red Star Erguotou..."

"As a result, after one drink, the woman (Leone) started acting crazy while drunk, and punched a passing bookstore owner (Lubbock) so hard that he was stuck in the wall and couldn't be pried out."

After the bartender finished recounting his life story, he saw Yang Li trying to suppress her laughter. She looked like she was about to choke, but her good manners prevented her from disturbing others.

"I'm professionally trained; no matter how funny something is, I won't laugh unless I can't help it!"

The bartender rolled his eyes at Yang Li, who was making jokes at will, and then wiped another glass, while placing a glass that looked like orange juice in front of Yang Li.

Yang Li, without suspicion, first put down the empty orange juice glass in her hand, then picked up the glass again and drank it down in one gulp.

Since a contract has been signed, the bartender can't bring out anything with a negative connotation.

"This is where they (the night raiders) appeared today (the location of the mission objective). You handle it."

The bartender left those words and a note, then turned and left Yang Li's sight. Yang Li finally sensed that something was wrong.

Looking at the nearly empty cup in his hand, with eerie blue subtitles popping up on it, Yang Li was completely dumbfounded.

……

After reading the description of this prop, an indescribable feeling welled up in Yang Li's mind. Although he was extremely clear-headed, he was also in a daze.

He glanced at the note in his hand, then silently left the bar, his steps appearing somewhat unsteady...

PS: 1. This is the second chapter today. I have to go out this afternoon and will be back tonight, so I don't expect to be able to update four times today... But I will try my best, after all, it's just staying up a little late.

2. Hmm...

Chapter 246, Section 240: A woman who goes on a drunken rampage is terrifying.

Chapter 240: A woman who goes on a drunken rampage is terrifying.

Yang Li was already a little tipsy, but he knew that the wine he had drunk before did not contain any alcohol; it was just a product of the accumulation of a large amount of extraordinary properties.

The night breeze was slightly cool. Yang Li wandered around the capital for a long time, but the hazy feeling showed no signs of fading.

Her body was stronger than expected, and her eyes occasionally turned into a bright golden color. Yang Li gently tied up her black ponytail.

With a long sword hanging at his waist, Yang Li was not bothered at all, because no one could guarantee that this seemingly drunk guy wouldn't slash at him when he got close.

They continued along a secluded road, which, according to Yang Li's calculations, was the only route they would take to retreat after the night raid had successfully eliminated their target.

However, since she was no longer fully conscious, her target was not simply a night raid, but another powerful old man.

Heavy footsteps gradually rose, and at the end of this dimly lit commercial street, a man with short, silver-white hair appeared.

Wearing heavy armor, Bud's face was resolute. The reason he was out tonight was because he had received information about the night raid.

As the most famous aristocratic assassination group in the capital, Night Raid was, in his view, a group of reckless and ruthless individuals who had gone astray and had to be eliminated.

He wouldn't normally bother with these rats who were always hiding, but now things are different. The attack on His Majesty is like the sky falling down for him.

"Hmm? You're a member of Night Raid?"

Looking at the figure blocking his way, Bud frowned deeply, a rare occurrence, because he sensed a chilling aura emanating from the obviously underage girl.

Immediately, Bud waved to signal the guards behind him to stop, his imposing gaze fixed on Yang Li, watching the figure wearing a fox mask.

"A night raid? No... I just suddenly wanted to know just how strong the Empire's Twin Pillars really are!"

After a brief pause, the gentle and moving voice was completely replaced by one filled with impulsiveness and madness. Yang Li did something that would never have happened under normal circumstances.

A flash of black light, and the tough longsword sparked countless sparks against a pair of black arm armors that looked like pile drivers. The bright golden pupils under the mask flickered intensely!

In a state similar to being drunk and acting crazy, Yang Li felt better than ever before, but in reality, even she felt like she had gone mad, actually taking the initiative to provoke and attack the stubborn old man, Bud.

After being caught, the Shadow of Slaughter flipped over instantly, and Yang Li kicked Bud's arm, the blade drawing blood.

A dark gray sheen and a bright red aura swirled around the blade. Although the last strike had only grazed Bud's shoulder, the pain it caused made even this battle-hardened old general turn pale.

Having successfully created distance, Yang Li charged out again, faster than before, and with an even more aggressive attack.

【Xenfeld】Floating in mid-air, Yang Li has already obtained some of Bud's information.

6. Ultimate Skill? Level?

……

Bud, who is 1.9 meters tall and has a very strong and muscular physique, was momentarily disoriented by Yang Li's direct attack.

As a general who fought his way up from the battlefield, if Yang Li were to encounter and fight him on the battlefield, there would be absolutely no chance of defeating him. His battlefield prowess is simply too overpowered!

Suddenly, a blue-white light enveloped Bud's entire body, and a powerful electric current forced Yang Li back. Bud also successfully escaped the predicament of having his health depleted by various secondary abilities.

Blinding lightning condensed in Bud's hand, transforming into a thick beam of lightning that shot out, piercing through countless buildings in the commercial street.

Fortunately, there were no people around, otherwise that move would have definitely affected countless ordinary people. Bud probably used that move because he saw that.

The scattered ranged attacks couldn't hurt Yang Li at all. She stood on the eaves of a two-story shop, her body lowered like a wild beast hunting at the top of the food chain.

Bud controlled his Imperial Arm [Thor's Wrath - Admiral] and attacked directly using the immense pressure generated by an unknown principle. The eaves that Yang Li used to support himself were crushed to pieces.

Before the heavy pressure could hit its intended target, Yang Li swooped down like an eagle before the attack could strike again, the blood aura swirling around his longsword growing ever stronger.

With his feet slamming into the ground and his body pressed low, Yang Li used the blinding lightning as cover and suddenly slashed out, nearly chopping off Bud's elbow.

After dodging the attack with his not-so-slender speed, Bud immediately wrapped his hands in blue and white lightning and slammed them down hard on Yang Li in front of him.

Time seemed to slow down, and an unimaginable heaviness washed over them. Yang Li had ultimately underestimated the old monster named Bud; he was at least a 'pseudo-third-tier' combatant.

Unfortunately, his weakness is too obvious, to the point that even a peak second-tier player like Bud can be challenged by him, namely, his speed is really not fast!

Her slender waist twisted to an astonishing degree, slightly shifting to the side to dodge a potentially fatal punch, and the next moment, hot, bright red blood splattered.
