Once Xiao Lin appeared in front of them, the rogue cultivators who weren't expecting him to surfaceehind them began to look at him with shock in their eyes.

And as they looked at him, terror began to slowly replace the intense surprise that had manifested in their heart.

​​

"Aren't you supposed to be dead?" One unexpectedly asked.

Haha!

Xiao Lin only laughed.

Then to amuse himself, he said "I am an immortal"

Once Xiao Lin said that, the eyes of the cultivators before him widened. They couldn't believe what they just heard. However, they still didn't believe the statement that he made.

One of them then said to the others "Let's take down this bastard"

As soon as he said that, the others nodded their heads and immediately out at their palms at Xiao Lin.

And as they did so, large amount of Spiritual Energy erupted from each of their palms and condensed into massive and solid attacks that shot towards Xiao Lin at a great speed.

Xiao Lin who still wanted to see how durable his body was, remained there with a smile in his gave as the attacks shot towards him.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!...

The attacks which were shot out all at once, arrived before Xiao Lin at the same time and struck him with a tremendous amount of force.

Once the massive attacks impacted him at the same time, and also exploding in his face, Xiao Lin was launched away from where he stood and to a further distance of twenty feet.

The cultivators who sent out the attacks looked at where Xiao Lin previously stood. But they couldn't find him there.

However, they didn't leave just yet. Instead, they remained there or he would appear before one of them again and strike down that person dead using either his fist or feet.

Besides, now that they had understood that probably he was launched away to a farther distance by their attacks, decided to wait where they were for him to come back to them.

Xiao Lin who was knocked for more than twenty feet away, stood up to his feet as his body raised itself above the ground to stand firmly once again on the ground. Once his body did so, Xiao Lin began to look at himself.

Then seeing that there were no cracks in his body, he laughed.

"Yes! Now, I can take attacks from a group of ordinary rogue cultivators who are the sixth-layer Mortal Spiritual stage." He said.

He called them ordinary because they were unaffiliated cultivators. And as unaffiliated cultivators, they wouldn't possess the powerful Battle Arts that sects, organizations, and other sort of establishments would give to their members.

But if they were affiliated cultivators, he would be wary of them and wouldn't dare try to take attacks from them since they could be using powerful techniques from the tyrannical Battle Arts that their organizations would give to them.

But as these were ordinary cultivators who have only banded together to get the scraps or leftovers of the Azure Firestorm Archer's wealth and accumulations, he wasn't worried about their attacks possessing high destructive power if they had deployed battle techniques, since they would only be studying common-tier, low-grade or average-grade battle arts.

When he was done looking at his body, and ceased the amazement whirling about within his heart, he looked into the distance to look at the cultivators who were waiting for him with his powerful vision.

Then with a wide smile appearing in his face, he suddenly dashed towards them.

Swoosh!

Like a ghost, he appeared before one of them.

Then before that person could react, Xiao Lin sent out his razor-sharp claws towards his neck to slash it open.

Slash!

Once this sound rang out, the head attached to that neck fell off with blood erupting out of the slashed neck like a fountain.

Immediately he killed this person, he dashed towards another.

Then appearing before that person, he sent out his claws once again towards his neck.

Slash!

The head was instantly slashed off from the neck and then fell to the ground. And as soon as it was slashed off, blood gushed out of that neck like a fountain before falling back to the ground and dying it red.

Seeing that Xiao Lin who surprisingly couldn't be destroyed by their attacks was beginning to take them down one after the other by slashing their necks open with something really sharp, they quickly banded together so that they would be able to resist him together.

Xiao Lin who now stood farther away from them, like ten feet away laughed when he saw what they were doing.

Then he shook his head and prepared to go at them again to continue bringing down their heads. Before immense ghostly speed, every sort of resistance would be futile, except maybe a forcefield or a powerful repelling energy dome.

But before Xiao Lin could go at any of them, one suddenly said "Let's combine with out Animal Spirits. We should be able to derive more battle power from them if we do so."

Immediately that person said that, the rest nodded their heads in total agreement.

Then quickly executing the profound Animal Summoning gestures that they knew and had fully mastered, numerous colors of light began to flash about.

Then when the brilliant flashes of colored light stopped a moment later, numerous fearsome-looking Battle Beast Spirits could be seen looking at Xiao Lin with cold and hateful gazes in their eyes. Some of these beasts could be noticed standing on the ground on all fours, some on their hind limbs, while the others that were winged, either double-winged or six-winged could be seen gliding in the air.

Xiao Lin who was witnessing all that were happening before his very eyes, only produced a smile in his face.

He then said "You guys have beautiful Animal Spirits. I wish I could consume them to replenish the Spiritual Power of my Animal Spirit"

The cultivators who were focused on what they were doing, simply ignored him.

Then executing the mystical, Beast-Human Fusion finger gestures that they knew, spheres of light began to expand outwards from within their bodies. And as soon as these spheres surfaced, they began to grow in size till they reach a stage where they fully enclosed both them and their towering Animal Spirits.

Then once the spheres had covered them and their Animal Spirits, their Animal Spirits began to rapidly shrink in size till they reduced to become the same height as their hosts. And as soon as they decreased in size to that level, they suddenly shot into the bodies of their hosts like a ray of light.

Graaa!

Rawrr!

Raghh!...

Once the beasts shot into the bodies of their hosts, hair-raising beastly growls began to ring out from within their bodies. Then all sort of astonishing transformations of their bodies began to take place in the next moment.

When the transformations stopped, Xiao Lin could see that the people whom he wanted to kill had grown many times taller than they previously were. Also, the auras of power emanating from their bodies had grown more stronger and much more powerful like something primitive had awoken within them.

Xiao Lin simply nodded his head at their transformations like he was impressed. However, he wasn't, only slightly. But he couldn't blame them, as they didn't have the type of Animal Spirit that he summoned which was one of the nine extremely rare Battle Beast Spirit in the world.

As soon as the cultivators completed their transformations, some of them instantly dashed out towards Xiao Lin to overwhelm him and them destroy him. And at this point in time, they were able to come to a conclusion that Xiao Lin's body was either amazingly tough that their attacks couldn't really penetrate through his flesh to shred him apart to thousand bits of flesh, or that he had a powerful healing ability and would instantly heal no matter the kind of lethal attack that was sent out at him to obliterate him. However, their deductions were partially wrong, as he had both factors, with the healing factor approaching nigh-immortality level.

Seeing that they were beginning to dash towards him, Xiao Lin who still retained that smile in his face, suddenly dashed out towards one of them.

And this time, he slowed down so that they could see him.

Then appearing before one who quickly sent out his fist towards his chest, Xiao Lin also reciprocated the same action by throwing out his fist towards the person's chest too.

Bang!

Bang!

Both their fists heavily struck the other at the chest, however Xiao Lin remained where he was. He wasn't catapulted away by the force that followed the punch that impacted his chest. But as for the cultivator that was punched by Xiao Lin in the chest, he was sent flying into the distance for many feet.

Witnessing what had happened, Xiao Lin only smiled. He then nodded his head as he said inwardly 'My physical strength has also increased.'

He then continued 'Now that my strength has grown, I will be able to exchange punches with a cultivator that has fused his his or her Animal Spirits. Hmm. This is nice. Practicing that Body Cultivation art has brought me immense benefits'

Once he was done thinking, he looked at the rest with a cold glint in his eyes and said with his voice growing deeper and sounding like that of an actual beast "Play time is over, my fellow colleagues. It is death time now."
