Killing the disciples of different sects (1)

And that, he practiced till 7pm in the evening the next day.

Once he stopped, he immediately jumped out of the window in his room to the ground.

Landing like a leaf to the ground, he quickly left for the Southwind Forest.

After many minutes, thirty minutes to be precise, he arrived there. Then he went to settle down on the branch of one of the tallest trees in this forest.

Seating in the cross-legged position on that branch, he began to look at the distance where the disciples of those sects might come from.

Then with a deep inhale and a heavy exhale, he got himself ready.

Once it was 8pm, disciples started arriving in large numbers in the forest.

Then as they saw each other, they couldn't help but look at each other with shock in their eyes and ask "Hey, how did you know about this forest?!"

They all became confused when the various disciples from each of the sects said that they got notes that they should come down here by 8pm and bring no teacher along.

"I think something is wrong here. We need to quickly return" One suddenly said while the others agreed with him.

The disciples at the moment were in very casual clothes so that no one would be able to recognize them as members of the numerous prestigious sects that were here in his town for a particular competition.

However, when that disciple spoke, another disciple from another sect spoke "What? You want us to return after coming down here? Nah, that isn't what I will do. Instead, I will comb through this massive forest to see what secret lies in it."

He then continued "Since we were all invited here, then that means there's something highly mysterious about this place."

However, just as he finished talking, a deep, beast-like voice suddenly rang out from far in front of them.

"There is nothing mysterious about this place, only death!"

The disciples' eyes shone in shock when they heard that.

Then they quickly looked into the distance to see who had said that. Then they saw Xiao Lin in his true vampire form who was approaching them from far in the distance.

Seeing how he looked like, their brows furrowed in both fear and astonishment.

But when they saw his cultivation base, which was the 7th-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage, the horror that was starting to surface in their minds became quickly extinguished, since majority of them here were at the 8th-layer, 9th-layer and 10th-layer Spiritual Ascendance stage.

So, they couldn't be horrified by him or by his form simply because of the cultivation stage that he was in which was lower to theirs.

"Let's take this thing down and ask where it is from!" One said with resoluteness in his tone while the others nodded.

That person that spoke then came out to challenge Xiao Lin all by himself.

Then quickly aiming a palm at Xiao Lin in the distance, large amount of blue Spiritual Energy suddenly gushed out from that hand which then abruptly condensed into a large, blue crystalline claw that shot at an incredible speed towards Xiao Lin. This fearsome attack was from a battle technique in the Earth-Shattering Claw battle art, a rare-tier, Mortal Ruler-grade battle art that he had studied back at his sect.

Seeing the attack that was shooting towards him at an insane speed, Xiao Lin quickly employed the Lesser Hundred Ominous Blades battle technique in the Myriad Chaotic Blood Armament battle art that he had mastered.

Then all of a sudden, Blood Energy gushed out from his entire body like a furious tide which then sharply transformed into thirty-nine blades that glowed in the color of blood and hummed as extreme sharpness began to erupt from it, which then filled part of the atmosphere around him, instantly turning it into an invisible domain of frightening sharpness.

Once the numerous, blood-red blades appeared, they instantly shot out at a shocking speed towards the massive claw that was piercing through the air at a great speed towards Xiao Lin.

Bang!

A loud bang sound which was immediately accompanied by a powerful rippling wave rang out as some of the terrifying, humming blades clashed with the large claw which actually quickly exploded into many fragments in the next instant upon collision.

But, none of the small-sized blades that instantly materialized from the deployment of the Lesser Hundred Ominous Blades battle technique were destroyed after colliding into the attack unleashed by that disciple.

Well, how will any battle technique from a rare-tier, Mortal Ruler-grade battle art rival that of even the simplest or lowest battle techniques in a peerless-tier, Empyrean-grade battle art? It was just impossible.

So, the blades continued shooting towards that disciple at their initial speeds and momentums, seeming as if they never came across any form of obstacle in the first place.

But before they could impact the disciple and cut him apart into several places, other disciples from his sect, about twenty of them, quickly rushed to his sides and rapidly expelled large amounts of Spiritual Energy from their palms which then condensed in the next instant into thick shields that then actually, abruptly merged to form a paper-thin, astonishingly resilient screen of Spiritual Energy to protect all of them from the humming, incoming dreadful attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Many bang sounds began to ring out as the blades heavily struck the screen, but nothing happened to the thin screen of energy that the disciples quickly jointly created from their different Spiritual Energies.

Xiao Lin furrowed his brows.

He understood how powerful this sect disciples could be if they came together.

So, he quickly changed to a more powerful attack.

Now, quickly applying the technique called 'Blood Wave Crushing Companies of Mortals and Armies of Knights' in the Blood Devouring Thousand Worlds battle art; an empyrean-grade, superior battle art, Blood Energy rushed to his fist like a seemingly furious and strongly undulating flood after following a unique, special circulation route in his body.

Then once the energy gathered in his fist and began to pulse with shocking power like it wanted to seemingly destroy all things in it path to wreak total devastation upon the Heavens, Xiao Lin quickly punched out at the screen of energy and said out loud at the same time "Crush!"

BOOM!

Then as soon as he punched out and gave that command, a focused, fearsomely powerful wave of Blood Energy that actually traveled in a single line and carried with it an overwhelming, domineering power, abruptly shot out from his fist and moved through the air at an inconceivable speed towards that shielding screen.

BANG!

Then like a large glass that a huge stone was catapulted at, the screen shattered apart into tens of thousands of smithereens with the wave which had lost some of it shocking fierce power and ferociousness, moving on at an incredible speed to viciously impact the people in it path to leave unbridled destruction.

Bang! Bang! Bang!...

Many of the disciples were violently, heavily shoved away with some of them instantly shattering apart into pieces while some lost either arms, legs or heads.
