Chapter 701 - Jin Rou VS. Adam
Hearing this, Athena trembled in fear and rage. It was a bitter past that she didn't want to remember yet Adam made her remember every single memory she had about it.
It was a brutal massacre, a total genocide just because they were against Adam. The Tresia Clan had stood for countless of years, being a support clan for top cultivators. They had a long history of great assistance and pride as living treasures for use. However, everything was shortlived because of Adam's pettiness.
Except for Athena and her little sister, no one survived the genocide. As a matter of fact, they could only survive thanks to the support of many ancestors who sacrificed themselves to buy time for them.
Jin Rou could feel Athena's emotions right now. He couldn't help but sigh. It must be a traumatic event for the sisters who might be youths by that time. Anyway, he was out of the issue so he had no say about this.
"Athena, calm down." Feeling that the emotions were almost bursting out of Athena, Jin Rou suppressed Athena and said with a stern tone, "If you fail to suppress your feelings right now, you will be a burden to me as you cannot use your coffin properly. I will ditch you and you won't see your little sister again, is that what you like?"
Hearing this, Athena gritted her teeth and tried to suppress her emotions. Eventually, she managed to do so. It wasn't the right time to be like this. After all, they were in a very critical moment where the fate of the world would be decided by this battle.
"Oh? Amazing." Adam saw how Jin Rou managed to calm Athena down despite of the bursting emotions. And truly, he was a bit amazed. After all, Athena was in her treasure form and it's harder control emotions than in human form.
Jin Rou grabbed the sword from the coffin and observed it. A sword with many jewelries and mysteries in it. He could see how meticulous the blacksmith of this sword to reach this level.
"Now, let's test your strength." Jin Rou smiled. This was a sword from Athena's coffin and he was looking forward to its power. Then, he made a casual slash towards Adam.
"Boom!" The abyss shook upon the cast of the slash. It made the rocks tremble back and forth.
"A petty slash." Adam laughed and threw a punch against Jin Rou's slash.
"Boom!" The abyss shook once again, shattering the wind in all directions as the punch easily broke the slash. Although it was a casual slash, it still contained the power of the world, capable of destroying a whole kingdom.
"Then how about this?" Jin Rou made three consecutive slashes that were stronger than the other.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Adam gave punches as needed to break the slashes but it was stronger and more sturdy than the previous. Yet, it was still easy as pie for him.
The slashes disappeared like it was not there to begin with.
"My turn." How could Adam let himself always be on the receiving end? He threw a strong kick in the air, making a world force that split the void into two for a moment. The abyss was almost half into two as the kick progressed through time.
"Boom!" Jin Rou tried to defend himself from this but it was of no use. Thus, he was thrown like a kite with its strings snapped.
"Boom! Boom!" Although he was thrown away, Jin Rou still managed to do two strong slashes, turning the abyss upside down by its power.
"Persistent, aren't you?" Adam smirked as he was about to throw a punch to the sword slash. However, he stopped when he realized something. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
The first slash was a decoy, and the second slash contained Jin Rou himself which made Adam a bit surprised.
The second slash containing Jin Rou stopped midway a few meters away from Adam. He bent his knees to charge momentum as he sheathed the sword preparing for a grand and powerful slash.
"Whoosh!" Then, Jin Rou turned into a streak of lightning as he rushed towards Adam with a speed that couldn't be followed by naked eyes!
"Boom!" Jin Rou's frontal attack made the whole world tremble. It definitely was felt by many people. Those who were aware of what's going on swallowed a mouthful of saliva while those who aren't in the know knelt and pray.
"You are strong, I have to admit that. Having three law legacies in your body is truly magnificent." The sword didn't reach Adam, he was holding it currently as if it was a mere toy. A large pit was made below them as he said, "Unfortunately, it's not enough to match me. You're only wasting your time and talent by coming here."
"Do you really think that I'll be here if I know I have no confidence in fighting you?" Jin Rou talked. His body was glowing with light which made the other party stumped.
"A dao avatar?" Adam was stumped. He couldn't see through that it was a mere avatar and wasn't the real body. He just realized that he was caught in another trap and he happily stepped on it.
"World's End." Suddenly, a serious voice sounded behind Adam. It was Jin Rou with his sword.
"Boom!" Then, the sea above this place shook violently and was cut into half. Adam tried to back away but it was useless because Jin Rou's avatar was holding him in.
The slash contained the world, creating an imagery of it vividly.
"Petty tricks won't work on me." Adam turned serious and his muscles bulged. The slash was about to get him when he got away from Jin Rou's avatar. Then, he stomped the abyss and several big rocks appeared. He punched them one by one and every rock was going to Jin Rou's direction.
"Fire Creation." Adam spoke in a low tone. Then, suddenly, the rocks became filled with raging fire as if they turned into meteors.
Jin Rou creased his brows when he saw this.. He had to be careful or else he would be injured severely by it.
