Immediately he said this, the cultivators before him looked at him with shock in their eyes.

They couldn't believe what they just heard.

"Really? You have that kind of pill with you?" Lightwind asked.

"Yea. I have many pills of that sort with me" The male replied.

"Wow. The methods and means of cultivators from a higher continent like the Spirit continent is unfathomable." Lightwind said while the male nodded his head with a smile surfacing in his face.

He then asked with a solemn gaze in his eyes "So, are you guys in or out?"

"We are definitely in" Lightwind said.

"Good!" The male said.

He then reached for his spatial ring to produce a heavy pill box made from both sapphire and jade.

Immediately he did so, he stretched it towards Lightwind who immediately accepted it and stowed it into his spatial ring.

"What about the money you are going to pay us for the dangerous task that you assigned to us?" Lightwind asked.

"Can you relax? I will also give you that. I was just about to reach for my spatial ring for it when you asked." The male answered.

"Oh. I am sorry about that. Do forgive me" Lightwind said.

"Nah. It's nothing." The male said with an amiable smile appearing in his face. And from the way that he smiled, one wouldn't know that he had killed lots of people before in the past.

Then with a simple gesture of one of his hands, a large heap of silver coins appeared on the floor before Lightwind and his colleagues.

Once the tall pile of coins appeared in a flash before them, Lightwind quickly stored everything into his spatial ring before the male before them could change his mind and return the coins back into his spatial ring.

When he felt that he had said all that he needed to say, the male stood to his feet and said "Goodluck with the mission. Bye for now"

Then like a ghost, he vanished from their presence.

After looking around for sometime to see if they could see the male, they saw that they couldn't.

One of them then spoke to Lightwind by asking "He has gone? Just like that?"

Lightwind who had stopped looking around to search for the male, answered with his brows furrowed "Yea, I think he has gone. But damn, he's so fast. What sort of tyrannical movement method is that?"

Then that person that asked Lightwind a question, said with an awed gaze in his eyes "Truly, he has skills that wouldn't be matched by any of his peers. Wow!"

Xiao Lin who hid himself somewhere far and tried to listen to their conversations using his powerful hearing, said with surprise and astonishment in his eyes "That male possesses a weapon he calls Ironcleaver sword, which could possibly belong to some master or being he calls the Blood Arbiter."

"Hmm. This Blood Arbiter must be the master of the God and Devil Fighting sect that he mentioned about to those assassins inside. While his sword, the Ironcleaver sword, seems similar in ability to the Twin Silver Blades of the Demonic Blade King."

"How I wish I could get that sword from him to analyze it. It would have been fun. Besides, I might be able to understand why it is similar in characteristics to my master's twin blade."

"Also, how I wish I could just kill that male and take the sword to use for myself, till I will become strong enough to be able to unlock those three Gates that master compressed into a dimension in the blades. But I wouldn't be able to do that, as that guy has a lot of resources and powerful offensive treasures in his possession."

"Besides, he would be tremendously skilled and immensely strong, just like he arrogantly claimed to be, since he came from a higher continent where he would have been disciplined and intensely trained by adept, godhood-level cultivators that I lack. Furthermore, since he could be selected as a legacy disciple of the Blood Arbiter, that means he would be seriously talented."

"But, what does the death of that person at the inn that I am staying at have to do with his secrets being exposed? Well, that's a job for the detectives to do, not me. Then as for me, it's time to go into that building and find a way to kill those assassins and take the Jade Pill box that he gave to them. Those Spiritual Aura-bestowing Pills in the pill box could possibly help me in cultivating up to any layer of the Mortal Spiritual stage" Xiao Lin said after quickly contemplating on all the things that the male said.

Then after a heavy exhale from his nostrils as he prepared to go into the building to face off against four cultivators that were at the fourth-layer and fifth-layer Mortal Spiritual stage, he recalled the Twin Silver blades of Doom and Sorrow to his hands.

"Although I only have my Spiritual Energy and my Hermetic Demonic Energy, I should still be able to fight these guys, and possibly overwhelm them using these blades that will effortlessly cut the gods themselves into halves."

"Then coupled with my Vampiric Abilities, I should be able to come out of there as the last man standing. Hmm. Well, I hope so... Of course, yea. Certainly. I am a vampire, so I can't die. I will surely come out of there as the last man standing, when they have cracked my neck and left my lifeless body behind" Xiao Lin said and smiled, trying to amuse himself.

However, immediately after he said these, his gaze turned vicious. While a pervasive aura of slaughter began to exude from his body.

Swoosh!

He suddenly dashed towards the door of the building and kicked it open.

Bang!

The door then instantly shattered apart into fragments, while Xiao Lin stepped in with a cold and murderous gaze in his clear and sharp-looking eyes.

The cultivators who weren't expecting that to happen, were shaken to the core of their beings by the sudden, explosive entry of Xiao Lin who appeared like a blade-wielding, living dead of the night to them.

"Who are you and why the hell are you here?" Lightwind furiously asked as a glowing broadsword appeared in a flash in his more dominant hand.

The others too who were startled by Xiao Lin's noisy entry, did the same as Lightwind as they summoned the swords in their spatial rings to their dominant hands.

"Who am I? I am a demon from the Supreme Demon Alter sect in the Demon Continent. And I am here to reap your lives." Xiao Lin answered.

Hahaha!

Lightwind who was furious, laughed in a raucous manner.

He then asked "You are here to reap away our souls? I would love to see you do that!"

Immediately he said that, he dashed towards Xiao Lin at a great speed and then angrily slashed out with his sword towards his neck.

BANG!!

However, before the blade of his sword could get to Xiao Lin's neck to cut it off, Xiao Lin quickly brought up the Awakening Doom blade to block the free swinging motion of Lightwind's sword towards his neck.

So, as soon as their weapons collided into each other, large amounts of bright sparks jumped out from the point of their collision, while Xiao Lin staggered backwards for many feet by the force that moved through his entire body, causing him to cough out a small mouthful of blood.

Although Lightwind attacked Xiao Lin with a lot of force, it was his own sword that ended up cutting into halves, surprising him and his colleagues.

"Aarghh!" Lightwind screamed out in anger.

He then dropped the broken sword in his hand to the ground and instantly aimed at Xiao Lin.

Once he did so, a large stream of Spiritual Energy immediately erupted from his palm and then turned into a massive fireball in the next instant which then shot out towards Xiao Lin.

Swoosh!

Seeing the massive, furiously blazing ball shooting towards him, Xiao Lin unexpectedly dashed towards it and used the twin blades grasped tightly in his hands to slash out at the ball.

Slash! Slash!

Bang!

Once Xiao Lin slashed out twice and very fast at it, the ball suddenly exploded and became a powerful blast of fire that struck Xiao Lin with a tremendous force and then sent him flying towards a wall of the room that they were in.

Bang!

He smashed into the wall and caused a large hole that was surrounded by a huge, web-like crack to appear in it structure.

However, despite the amount of force that he rammed into the wall with, Xiao Lin surprisingly came of out of that hole which he made into the wall.

Then with his broken bones rapidly healing and producing rampant snap sounds, and his torn and burnt tough flesh quickly regenerating and restoring back to their previous states, Xiao Lin suddenly growled like a primitive beast from hell and then abruptly shot out towards them. And at this point in time, he had grown taller with his hair becoming blood-red and longer than usual — Now, he had directly entered his true vampiric form to fight.
