Chapter 26 - Battle

Seeing that the officer was dashing towards him, Xiao Lin quickly summoned the Awakening Doom blade to his hand.

Once the blade vanished away from his dantian and rematerialized in his hand, Xiao Lin abruptly hurled with all the strength that he could possibly muster at the officer.

The officer stopped running and then quickly put out his hands to expel a stream of Spiritual Energy from his dantian which then abruptly condensed into a thick shield in front of him.

However, he was totally wrong about the penetration power of the blade.

Shrrr!!

The blade effortlessly pierced through the shield that he quickly produced from his Spiritual Energy and struck him hard in the chest.

Puchi!

This sound then rang out when the blade easily cut through the officer's chest to the back and then out of it with it initial speed and momentum, giving the feeling that it never came across any obstacle in the first place.

Ripptt!!....

Blood then speedily gushed out like a fountain from both the connecting wounds at both his chest and back.

The officer then collapsed to the ground with his knees first, while a look of horror could be seen in his face that showed that he was suffering from great pain.

Xiao Lin finally sighed in relief.

He then recalled the Awakening Doom blade which instantly vanished away from where it had stabbed into and teleported to his hand.

Then with a furious swing, he beheaded the officer.

Once he did so, he quickly removed the officer's spatial ring, hat and boot and stowed them away into his spatial ring.

He then tried to quickly dash away from that place to return to his house, as he couldn't say if other officers were around too in the area that he was at the moment. They could have heard the officer screeching terrifyingly when he sank his fangs deep into his neck to drain him of his blood.

A few moment after Xiao Lin had shot off from there, someone suddenly appeared at the place that Xiao Lin beheaded that officer. And without surprise, this person was also an officer.

His eyes narrowed with intense coldness appearing in them when he saw the headless state of the lifeless body of a good colleague of his.

"Who dared to do this to an officer working for the government?" He questioned.

He then said further with anger in his tone to everything around him "I will fish you out and do you the same way you did this officer."

Then with a thought from him, his Animal Spirit appeared behind him.

Once it appeared, the officer began to perform mystifying gestures with his fingers.

When he did the last finger gesture, a sphere of light abruptly expanded out from within his body, enclosing both him and his towering Animal Spirit which rapidly reduced in size to become the same height as him.

As soon as the radiant sphere enclosed him and his mystically shrunk Animal Spirit, waves of power began to emanate from it, while the colored brilliance that it emitted grew stronger in intensity.

However, it dimmed in the next instant. But the Animal Spirit that had appeared behind him could no longer been seen there.

But at the moment, the officer's form had changed, meaning that his Animal Spirit had merged with him.

The officer then shut his eyes and tried to perceive the body smell of the killer of the officer lying in his own pool of blood before him.

When he got it, his eyes snapped open with an inexplicable gaze in his eyes.

"I told you I will get you" The officer said with a ruthless smile surfacing on his lips.

He then sprang into action as he began to dash at a furious speed to where the body smell led him to.

***

Xiao Lin had gotten to his house, his mind however was in shambles.

He knew what it meant killing a government officer. The others will surely troop out to look for him. And possessing all sort of Animal Spirit whose abilities are peculiar and unique, he had a feeling that they could track him to where he was, which was this house.

'I definitely can't stay here any longer. This town now feels greatly unsafe to me. Its best to leave here and go hide myself in any valley that I will come across. And maybe I could hopefully come across a group of bandits in there' Xiao Lin said inwardly with hope in his heart.

But just when he would go to the door to leave the house, a loud bang suddenly rang out.

Bang!

The door exploded into hundreds of smithereens with someone who had intense blue eyes and pupils shaped like a star, entering the house with an intimidating ferocious aura exuding from his towering, dark grey body.

But when the person that explosively broke into the house, who was without surprise, that vengeful officer, saw Xiao Lin's form, his heart shook in marvel and horror.

'What sort of dreadful demonical creature is this?' He asked inwardly with shock and bewilderment in his tone.

Since he had merged with his Animal Spirit, he too was given the ability to see clearly at night like it was day. So, he could clearly make out Xiao Lin's horrifying form despite the jet-black darkness of the house.

The officer then said with both wariness and cautiousness in eyes to Xiao Lin who was quickly thinking of what to do, now that an officer who was at the 2nd-layer Mortal Spiritual stage had angrily bursted into his house "Hey, I believe you can understand my language. Now, what are you and where did you come from? What are you here to to do in my town?"

Xiao Lin who still frantically thought of what to do next, said with an hideous smile hung on his lips that was stained with blood "I am Bloodfang, a pureblood descendant of the Imperial Ruler of the Bloodsun Empire in the Demon Continent. I only came here to do some things, I would be going back before day breaks"

The officer heard Xiao Lin's beastly voice and had amazement set into his heart.

Then after listening to Xiao Lin's response to his questions, the officer said with an indifferent gaze in his eyes which he put out to conceal the great amount of wariness that had surfaced in his heart "Well, since you aren't putting on a robe or cloak that carries the logo of the Bloodsun Empire or whatever you called it, and I can't see any guard around you to protect you, it shows that you left your dad's bloody empire without their permission to journey from the Demon World into the Human World. And since you are here in the Human World, and then boldly went as far as killing a colleague of mine, that means I can take you away with me to imprison you at the Demon Cell for the serious crime that you committed, or just kill you right here after delivering judgement upon you for your unbridled evil action."

After the officer said this, Xiao Lin's gaze turned frigid, while a palpable intent of slaughter began to emanate from his body.

He then said with his deep beastly voice ringing out "You will dare to kill me? My mum who is a Supreme Blood Demoness, the Ruler of the Bloodsun Empire, is going to send an army of Devourers to this town to destroy you and everyone else. You want the blood of hundreds of people to be on your hands? I don't think so."

Haha!

The officer grinned.

He then said "Demon, to be honest with you, I really don't care about anybody else, except myself. So, your mum who is an empress can go right ahead to slay everyone in this town because I killed you. It's her problem, so she should deal with it. As for me, all that I am after is to bring you to justice for cold-heartedly beheading a colleague of mine. Nothing mo...."

BOOM!

The officer couldn't even complete his speech when Xiao Lin unexpectedly punched out at him and unleashed a thunderous, tyrannical blast of Blood Energy from his fist which instantly exuded a strongly overwhelming smell of blood upon it appearance in the outside world.

The officer who had been cautious of Xiao Lin's action ever since, abruptly released a large stream of green-colored Spiritual Energy from his fist which then rapidly condensed into a massive palm that went ahead at a great speed to ram extremely hard and fiercely into the furious Energy Blast raging towards him.

BOOM!!!

The terrifying blast of Blood Energy instantly scattered apart, turning into actual blood that splattered all over the officer's body, drenching him in blood which began to produce a burning sensation all over his body.

The officer could however resist the burning sensation that had suddenly manifested on his skin because of the drops of caustic blood that got onto his body from that collision of his attack with the blast that Xiao Lin unleashed.

And since he was a 2nd-layer Mortal Spiritual stage cultivator, the attack that he sent out at Xiao Lin went towards him like it didn't come across any obstacle to collide heavily into him.

But it wasn't able to successfully hit Xiao Lin with the intention of turning him into a cloud of blood, as Xiao Lin quickly used the Awakening Doom blade and Sorrowful Sea blade which he had quickly recalled to his hands from his dantian to slash at the large green Palm condensed from Spiritual Energy.

Slash!

Slash!

Once it was struck by the deity-cutting blades , the Palm slashed apart into two and rapidly dispersed since it had lost it form.

Immediately Xiao Lin destroyed the officer's Spiritual Energy attack using the blade, he turned around and dashed towards a wall of the house.

Slash! Slash!

He abruptly dually-slashed the wall open in an X pattern and then burst out of it to appear in the street.

Then immediately deploying his Super-Speed ability, he tried to run off in a particular direction to speedily run away from the officer.

But he hadn't even gone slightly far when the officer appeared behind him with an intense murderous look in his eyes. Then Xiao Lin knew that he was up for a great battle that will absolutely cost him a lot!
