Chapter 141 - Criminal Or Hero Part 2
Activating both his External Hardening and Energy Sleeve Techniques, as Adam had become a rank 4 Novice Cultivator, he could increase his Resistance by 80 points, but it would use 4 IESP and EESP every minute.
With that, his Resistance had surpassed 130 points and with his speed that was at 86 points, he didn't have anything to fear, even when against 7 opponents that were all at a higher cultivation level than him.
With such an extremely high resistance, considering his cultivation level, while his fundamental defence techniques were activated, it was more than 13 times higher than that of an ordinary human.
Not only would that make his body more durable and reduce the damage that he would take from attacks, but his overall resistance was incredible and he had become more resistant to everything that would affect or damage his body.
The cold that was on Floor 1 and the heat of Floor 3 wouldn't have affected him in the slightest if he had that much resistance at the time. While an ordinary weapon would require a large amount of force to cut into his skin, let alone cause him substantial damage.
The triad guard leader, who was the strongest out of the 7 triad members, withdrew a dagger that he had tucked into his leather jacket and prepared to clash with Adam who was dashing towards them.
However just as they were about to clash, Adam with his greater speed, jumped over him and landed behind the triad member that was at the back and had suggested that they should break all his limbs and let him die slowly.
Adam was by no means a righteous hero, but he also didn't see himself as a evil criminal.
He was himself and with power, he could do as he pleased, which included killing people that he thought deserved to die and saving people that he felt like saving.
"You wanted to break all my limbs and watch me die painfully, well how about I do the same to you but in my own style" stated Adam to the triad member.
Before any of the triad members could react or do anything about it, Adam swiftly made 4 rapid slashes then jumped away and made some distance between himself and the 7 triad members.
They were unsure of what happened for a second, then seeing the blood on Adam's blade and looking at one of their fellow triad members, they couldn't help but step back in horror.
His body suddenly collapsed and split into 5 parts, with his arms and legs being cleanly sliced off by Adam's blade.
The gruesome scene didn't affect Adam in the slightest and inversely, he felt good about it and his Bloodlust was heightened at the sight and smell of the blood.
"You will all be dying here and should feel despair, just like all the victims of your abuse felt" declared Adam while glaring at them and imbuing fear into their hearts.
One of them had been taken out and they weren't completely ready, but even with 6 of them, against Adam's speed, they were unsure if they would be able to defeat him.
Adam had come to realise that speed and strength weren't the deciding factors in a real battle, and it was the skill and advantages that the fighter had that mattered.
Being mentally and physically prepared, having a weapon, the terrain and many other factors are much more important than the power of an individual.
His master was the best example for and most times, he wouldn't need to use his full power or power that surpassed Adam's, but he would still be able to easily beat Adam without letting him land a single attack on him, all because his skill as a fighter massively surpassed Adam's.
Knowing that, he still knew not to underestimate his opponent even if his speed surpassed theirs, which was why he activated both the fundamental defence techniques before they began fighting, but he was also confident in his own capability, especially since he had a better weapon than them.
"Who is next," said Adam as he flicked his blade to get the blood off and walked towards the triad members.
To them, he looked like an evil god of death and with his killing intent, Bloodlust, incredible speed and his expression that showed enjoyment, they couldn't help but fear him.
However seeing that there was no way that they could escape, as the area of the restaurant was closed off and because Adam's speed surpassed theirs, they had no choice but to defeat Adam if they wanted to survive.
"You will pay for daring to go against the triad and killing one of our members. You won't leave here alive, and even if you do, you won't make it past a few days" roared the triad group leader furiously as he charged towards Adam who stood there, unbothered by his threat.
Adam had thought about whether it was worth it to make an enemy out of the triad and the Lin Family that was behind them, especially since they were known as the strongest of the large cultivation families in New York, but Adam wasn't scared.
They wouldn't be able to find him and if they didn't go after those that he cared about, he would be able to slowly pick them off, while increasing his strength enough to face their leaders head-on.
Or he could hide at his master's dojo, where he would be hidden by his master's Illusion Array, but he didn't want to bring his master any trouble.
Adam had thought about most of the possible outcomes and it was inevitable that he would get into trouble with the triad and the Lin Family, and the best thing he could do was increase his strength while making useful alliances.
"Show me what you got," said Adam as the rest of the triad members followed their group leader and charged towards him.
