With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

A pair of powerful beast claws slammed out; if an ordinary person were hit, they would be instantly turned into mincemeat.

Knowing that Leone was good at strength but not speed, Yang Li immediately smiled slyly. She had long wanted to get back at this drunkard who was always stealing her wine, and now was the perfect time.

The murderous intent Leone unleashed on her had roused her from her exhausted state, forcibly putting her into a fully prepared fighting condition.

Crouching to dodge a pair of punches, Yang Li bent his right arm and delivered an elbow strike, nearly making Leone vomit his breakfast.

Leone, whose body involuntarily wanted to back away, had her wrist grabbed as her expression changed drastically. Those slender, white fingers were as strong as pliers.

With a forceful push of his shoulder and a simultaneous exertion of his arm, Leone was immediately thrown to the ground by Yang Li's over-the-shoulder throw, and the perfectly good bed was instantly ruined.

Pain stimulated Leone's nerves, and he instinctively clenched his claws, wanting to retaliate against Yang Li.

Unfortunately, although their fighting skills were comparable, their overall strength was far behind, and her reaction speed was even further behind.

Before Leone could grab his wrist, Yang Li immediately let go and jumped to the side.

"Yaha!!"

The weapon, which resembled a standard longsword, was easily dodged by Yang Li, while Tatsumi, who was slightly shorter than Yang Li, overshot it.

With a slight hook of her left foot, Tatsumi immediately lost his balance and fell into Leone's arms, where he was instantly killed by Leone's chest attack.

Using Tatsumi to distract Leone, Tatsumi is now a burden in the battle, but Night Raid has more than just these two.

An orange beam of light streaked across the sky, shattering the windowpane before striking the wall next to Yang Li.

The reason she missed was not because Mine's sniping skills were poor, but because Yang Li's reaction speed was too fast; she jumped away immediately upon sensing the threat.

A petite girl with long, straight black hair rushed up the stairs, still wearing her cooking apron, and the long knife in her hand gleamed coldly.

Downstairs was in complete chaos. If Tatsumi hadn't taken it upon himself to provide assistance, putting himself in a precarious situation, no one else would have intervened for the time being.

Although Leone was constantly being overwhelmed, her powerful regenerative abilities meant she wouldn't be in any immediate trouble, since the enemy's Teigu wasn't in her possession...

In an instant, fine, sharp threads spread across the entire second floor. Lubbock controlled the distribution of the threads with both hands while exchanging a glance with Leone.

The meaning in his eyes was to eliminate the enemy. Although all the factions downstairs understood the fact that Night Raid had appeared, if the only enemy who had seen everyone's faces was not eliminated, Night Raid would soon be wanted by everyone.

So why not wear a mask to conceal yourself before carrying out a mission?

Akame, Brand, and Najenda have already been exposed, whether they are concealed or not, but the others are undoubtedly not on the Empire's wanted list.

Yang Li and the Night Raid members had a high level of understanding; she also understood the meaning behind their eye contact and couldn't help but mentally complain.

After a brief silence, Akame was the first to move, thrusting out a slender but extremely dangerous longsword.

Yang Li felt an instant surge of crisis. She couldn't touch the demon sword Murasame, and Akame was still as ruthless as ever. However, she couldn't reveal her identity right now.

Akame has always been ruthless when dealing with enemies...

Unable to use his highly individualistic blood energy, Yang Li, unarmed, leaped backward repeatedly, dodging both the long sword and the sniping of the Imperial Arm Pumpkin.

Leone was observing from the sidelines, but every time he rushed forward, he was forced back by Yang Li's sudden burst of power, leaving him looking frustrated.

With a solid wooden table under his feet, Yang Li used all his strength to throw it at Akame, but Murasame cleaved it in two, sending the elegant longsword flying into the air.

Everyone was shocked to find a weapon hidden in the table, but it was actually just a trick by Yang Li.

Just as she kicked the table away, she casually put the purple-grade longsword she had obtained in the ruins into it, pretending that the weapon had always been there.

She cannot reveal that she possesses spatial abilities, otherwise, her identity will definitely be questioned because she has the only spatial Imperial Arm.

Reaching out to catch the longsword, Yang Li's demeanor suddenly changed, and then he met the onslaught of Chi Tong, which was like a torrential downpour.

The longsword, with a hardness comparable to Murasame, has only one ability: sharpness. Its sole effect is to greatly increase the weapon's sharpness.

While it's not very effective against weapons of similar hardness, a mere graze to the neck would inevitably result in serious injury.

Blades and sword shadows clashed, and Leone, seizing the opportunity, rejoined the battle, only to be casually kicked away by Yang Li.

Unconvinced, she lunged forward again, only to be instinctively kicked away by Akame, who found her in the way, and landed on the side, looking utterly bewildered.

"Damn it, I refuse to believe it..."

A moment later, Leone, with a bruised and swollen face, squatted in the corner, looking rather pitiful.

Her aura, which had been as fierce as a lion when she ambushed Yang Li, had now turned into that of a pitiful little wildcat. Heaven knows what she had just encountered...

PS: This is the third update today...

Request for leave for section 297 (Updates will resume tomorrow)

Today was supposed to be a regular update day. I had classes in the morning and nothing to do in the afternoon, so I planned to spend the afternoon in my dorm. But then I checked my QQ space and saw that one of my roommates was having a birthday party, so we went out to eat together…

I drank a bit too much, and now I'm feeling really dizzy... so I won't be updating today. I wrote a little bit, but it looked weird, so I deleted it all. I'm sorry everyone, I'm going to get some sleep. (|3[▓▓])

Chapter 291, Section 298: Escaping the Scene

Chapter 291: Escaping the Scene

The longsword, capable of killing with a single strike, approached Yang Li countless times, yet was always deflected by a single sword strike. Yang Li's reaction speed was superior to Chi Tong's.

Even if she had to be distracted to dodge Mine's shots, and without anyone else to directly support Akame, she was still slightly outmatched in strength.

Akame's figure flashed continuously, her speed increasing with each passing moment, but her demon sword could not evade her instincts.

With 'Wind Breath and Water Spirit' and 'War Blessing' fully activated, Yang Li's physical abilities overwhelmed everyone in the Night Raid, and none of the Night Raid participants could keep up with Akame's fighting pace.

Brand is strong enough, but Najendan must leave behind someone strong enough; the new base certainly cannot be without any defenses.

As for Kurohime and Susanoo, they are currently on another mission with Najenda. Although they are still in the city, it will not be long before they arrive.

Because Lubbock used his Teigu to seal off the scene, Yang Li continued to fight Akame in the small room, while the others voluntarily left the room.

Mine, on the opposite rooftop, single-handedly provided Akame with the only support, thanks to her exceptional sniping talent and skills.

Yang Li, who had once again forced Akame to retreat, frowned slightly. It was still a stretch to think that she could defeat this girl with just a long sword, as Mine had taken away a small part of her attention.

Although the longsword in her hand could kill with a single blow, it would require striking Akame's vital points, and she couldn't possibly attack in such a place.

But the Murasame sword is different; if it even grazes her, she'll either be instantly killed or suffer terribly.

Regaining his composure, Yang Li sidestepped past Chi Tong and tried to change his position. A new round of swordplay was about to begin, and he had to find a way to escape...

With his right hand, Yang Li used his longsword to lift the wooden floorboards and flung them away, while simultaneously reaching for his waist with his left hand.

The demon sword Murasame easily pierced the wooden plank, its blade pointing directly at Yang Li's throat. Three fleeting silver flashes caused Akame's pupils to shrink sharply; they were three sharp flying needles!

With unimaginable reaction speed, Akame deflected one of the silver needles with a single strike, while simultaneously dodging to the side with all her might.

"Well!"

She dodged one of the three arrows, but Akame was still hit in the shoulder by one, and a sudden feeling of powerlessness made her kneel on one knee.

In Akame's eyes, it was precisely at this critical moment that her opponent unexpectedly launched several hidden weapons, and she might be going to die...

"...Silly girl, how could I let you die?"

Yang Li, who was muttering to himself, didn't let Chi Tong hear what he was saying. Instead, he rushed straight toward the wall with the window, which was already mostly destroyed by the sniper fire.

He leaped down, and an orange ray appeared in his sight, while a dark red light flashed on Yang Li's body.

With only a fleeting moment of Bloodlust activated, Yang Li forcefully pushed the air with his left hand, sending himself flying sideways.

The sniper shot blasted a smoking hole in the wall, but Yang Li had already landed safely, making a face at Mine with a teasing expression.

The familiar posture and expression caused Mine to momentarily lose her composure, and Yang Li took the opportunity to slip away immediately.

With a whopping 40 points in agility, it's truly formidable when it gets going. Its speed is lightning-fast, like it's riding on wheels of fire. In the blink of an eye, it turned a corner and disappeared completely from Mine's sight...

With a touch of dejection, Mine let down her Imperial Arms Pumpkin and remembered some things, things she had buried deep in her heart and didn't want to recall.

The man who had always taken good care of her occasionally made fun of her figure, placing small cakes in front of her while saying things like, "Eat more to replenish some fat in your chest."

Every time she got angry about it, the woman would look at her chest with a mocking smile and then puff out her impressive figure.

If she tries to resist with brutal force, the other person will reach out and press their hand on her head, preventing her from getting close despite her fierce attacks, and then make a face at her when she gives up...

That person left and will never come back...

Mine, who remained silent, put away her Imperial Arms. It was time for her to retreat with her companions; there was no doubt that the identities of several people would be exposed this time.

Although Susanoo and Kurome would not have allowed their opponent to escape if they were there, the fact is that neither of them nor the BOSS were there.

Finally free from the predicament of not being able to go all out, having to go all out to avoid being noticed, Yang Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Only at this moment, when she had finally regained consciousness, did she have time to check the latest side quest information; she had fallen asleep before and hadn't paid any attention.

The Judge has completed the side quest 'The Ambiguous Infernal Affairs' (Second Stage)... Now preparing to begin the final stage, the Judge can choose whether to accept the mission!

Side Quest: The Ambiguous Infernal Affairs (Third Ring, Final Stage)

Task Difficulty: LV.19

Mission Briefing: The original night raid assassin, Kaneki Yan, is dead. Now, only the Phantom of the Underworld remains!

Mission objective: Obtain the 'ultimate elixir', which is located in the royal palace!

Mission Information: Minister Ernest, the young emperor!

Time limit: 60 days!

Task Reward: 15000 Transaction Points, Healing-related Permissions (Tier 2).

Failure penalty: All attributes -10%

……

A decent mission. Based on the information provided, it seems that only Minister Ernest and the puppet emperor know about the 'ultimate elixir'.

Healing-related permissions are quite useful, but Yang Li doesn't intend to directly compete with that minister in terms of intelligence; she might not be able to beat that old fox in that regard.

Choosing to refuse the mission, Yang Li took a deep breath and walked in a certain direction, the direction of the secret site.

Dr. Fashion had previously led the assassination squad to that area for research, but she stayed in her room to rest because she was too tired. Now she needs to hurry over and meet them.
