Not long, they became riddled with dozens of cuts that revealed what was behind them.

Then they fell to the ground one after the other with blood gushing out of the cuts that the blades which Xiao Lin sent out at them made into their bodies.

Seeing what he had done, his form reverted and he returned to his pale-skinned form. Then with a small raise of his left hand, the Sorrowful Sea blade appeared in his hand and he quickly dashed towards where Lightwind was.

Lightwind at the moment was having a really hard time removing the Awakening Doom blade that pinned him to the floor of the room that they were in.

Since it was a supreme-quality, deity-rank blade that constantly emitted a strongly repulsing, frightening power of sharpness, it was something that Lightwind couldn't even touch or properly grasp so that he could pull it out from his chest where it pinned him to the floor of the room.

Xiao Lin appeared before him in the next instant. Then with a swing of the Sorrowful Sea blade held in his left hand, Lightwind's head was slashed off from his neck with blood spilling out like it have been wanting to escape.

Immediately he carried out that action, Xiao Lin reached for his finger where he pulled off the spatial ring that he wore and stowed it into his.

With a satisfied smile appearing in his extremely pale face, he dashed towards where the others were to also slash off their heads from their necks.

And as he did so, he took their spatial rings and stowed it into his. Then he walked out of the building to stand before it.

"I have to level this building to bury these assassins within. I would have simply burned them to ashes, but I don't have my Blood Energy to do that using the less profound methods mentioned in the Divinity-Annihilating Primal Blood Flame Battle Art." Xiao Lin said with a shake of his head.

He then continued with a pondering gaze appearing in his eyes "While I am yet to master any of the techniques mentioned in the Fiendish Flame burning the Heavens battle art."

"Ugh! Just so many perverse battle arts to study and practice but I am cursed with limited very time and resources."

"Anyways, when I get to my room at that inn, I will try to use that Spiritual Aura bestowing pill to raise my cultivation level to the Mortal Spiritual stage. Then if I am fortunate enough to get to the second-layer Mortal Spiritual stage, I should be able to do as I like at that legacy ground, since I would become very strong, like many times stronger than I am now."

Then with the pondering gaze in his eyes growing deeper, he said "I just have to kill everyone there and leave no soul alive so that I can fully recover my totally expended Blood Energy and even try to enter the level after the Blood Acolyte level."

He nodded his head in agreement at the thought that had suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He then aimed his two palms at the base of the building and unleashed two wide, nine-layered waves of Hermetic Demonic Energy that carried extreme sharpness with them.

BANG!!

BANG!!

The powerful shredding waves struck the base of the building at the same time while the building which had nothing shielding them from the fierce, sharpness-radiating attacks that Xiao Lin unleashed at them, simply shattered into bits with the entire structure collapsing onto the ground, burying the assassins within.

When he saw that he had reduced the previously dilapidated building to rubbles, he quickly left where he was to return back to his room at the inn.

So, he began to flit from one building to the next to hide himself from government officers that might possibly be around and could be scouting the area for criminals or outlaws that would probably use the thick of the night to perpetrate crime in their town.

However, after moving from one building to the next at a tremendous speed with the intention of concealing himself from government officers that might be patrolling the area, he saw to his amazement that he couldn't even hear, see or instinctually feel that any officer was around, since he couldn't hear the thumping hearts of anyone from many meters away, perceive breaths or hear anyone's footsteps.

"And maybe they don't have any Nightwatch officer or vigilante group in this town, since I haven't seen or heard anyone like that from afar, walking from one place to another place to silently observe what's going on at a particular area." Xiao Lin said with a contemplative look in his face.

"Anyways, I still have to be careful. For if one or two suddenly shows up before me, and their cultivation stages are way above mine, I would be doomed. So, I would just continue moving from one building to the next till I would arrive at that inn where I rented a room at" He said further.

...

About two and the half hours later, where time was now 6:52am, Xiao Lin finally arrived back in the area where his inn was located.

But at this time, the sun was already coming out and was beginning to shine, however at a low intensity.

But, even if it shone at this extremely weak intensity, it was still critically dangerous to someone like Xiao Lin who mustn't be caught under the softest or weakest rays of the sun, or he would simply instantaneously combust and burn rapidly to ashes.

Xiao Lin who now had his heart in his mouth as he could imagine his doom if any of the sun's rays touched or struck him, began to move at a really high speed where his form couldn't even be made out at all again.

So, like a cheetah that was in a ghost form, he dashed really fast and frantically across the street to where the inn was located. But as he did so, the sun's rays began to follow him like they wanted to illuminate him in their brilliance and purify him of the darkness that had completely engulfed his soul and being. However, it wasn't that they were mysteriously following after him to catch him and burn him off, they were only emitting from the massive, majestic sun to lit up the area in order to chase away the darkness.

Not long, he arrived in front of the inn and went to the side of the hotel where his room was. He then quickly leaped from from one windowsill to the next at a really high speed.

Immediately he arrived at the window to his room, he abruptly shot into it and closed the windows before any of the sun's rays could go in and impact him.

Although he successfully escaped from the sun's rays, a tiny stream of light from the sun still struck one of his hands as he was closing the window.

Whoosh!

Then an unusually colored fire immediately engulfed that hand and began to rapidly burn from that hand to the other areas of his body.

Xiao Lin who saw to his shock how that hand quickly burned to ashes, with the fire quickly spreading to the rest of his body from that arm, abruptly produced the Awakening Doom blade in other hand and decisively cut off the arm fully engulfed by flame at the shoulder region before it would be able to spread to his other body.

Once he did this, he collapsed to the ground with a great weakness suddenly coming over him. And because he had cut off an entire arm, he began to gnash his teeth in sorrow as sensations of intensely excruciating pain, the one many times worse than the one that one would experience when thousands of 13-inches long, red-hot nails hammered into one's skull and skeleton, began to overwhelmingly flood his entire senses and mind.

Then with many green veins bulging out from his face, neck and the other arm that held the Awakening Doom blade, he began to groan and roll about on the ground of his room from one side to the other.

However, the severe pain didn't afflict him for long as the arm that was cut off from the shoulder area, began to gradually grow back. But as it did so, Xiao Lin's face became paler, so did his entire body.

Xiao Lin's body regeneration rate was truly powerful, like that of an immortal's own, except that his, at this stage that he was, drained many years of his life to restore any part of his body that was completely lacerated off or simply destroyed.

Not long after his arm had fully regrown back, Xiao Lin stood up from where he was on the ground.

He then looked at the arm that had regrown and shook his head in awe.

"Wow. I never knew I had such an insane healing speed. So, if parts of my body were to be cut off, they will quickly heal in only a few seconds? Damn. I never knew this dimension about me exists. This is absolutely ungodly. Haha!" Xiao Lin said and grinned happily.

He then looked at the ashes on the ground and shook his head with horror appearing in his eyes, when he imagined what could have happened if he didn't immediately cut off his arm.
