Chapter 143 - Unexpected Encounter Part 1
Adam knew it was unlikely for the Lin Family to send an Advanced Cultivator after him and they wouldn't do that to avenge the death of a few low ranked Novice Cultivators, and even if they wanted to, he wouldn't leave them any traces to follow.
Although Adam hadn't faced an Advanced Cultivator or come across one, other than his master, if he used all of his trump cards, he was quite sure that he would at least be able to hold out against an Advanced Cultivator for a minute.
??He knew that it wasn't much and didn't mean anything, but that was as a rank 4 Novice Cultivator, so if he became an Advanced Cultivator, he might be able to take on cultivators that were mid-level Advanced Cultivators.
Which was all thanks to the additional stat points that the system provided him.
The 4 triad members that were still conscious began to instinctively back away from Adam who was approaching them. They no longer wanted to fight as they began regretting all of the actions that had led them to the current moment, where they knew they were going to die.
Waling over to the 4 triad members that were backing away, without remorse, Adam stabbed the necks of the 2 triad members that had fallen unconscious, not willing to spare any of their lives.
"Did you really think you could do as you pleased in this life? There are always people stronger than you and since you were arrogant and scum, it was inevitable that you would die a painful death" stated Adam.
Without the will to fight, there was no point for Adam to waste any more of his time as he swiftly ended the lives of all 4 of them and returned the sabre to his inventory.
The system had made him an incredibly powerful monster, but as long as he was a monster that could provide for and protect those that he cared about, he didn't care.
Adam had an instinctive bad feeling towards the end of his battle and wanted to get away before it was too late, but just as he was looking for a way to get out without revealing himself, the metal barriers that had blocked off the area began to open.
He was trying to stay calm, but his heart was still beating rapidly and his Bloodlust was still high along with adrenaline coursing through his veins.
Using his spiritual sense to see past the barriers that were slowly rising, he was surprised to find that he could only sense the presence of two individuals and even after the barriers rose, it was completely silent.
Adam thought that it might have been quiet because of the barriers and was too occupied with his 7 opponents to care, but he realised how unusual it was, as he prepared to fight and withdraw his sabre from the inventory at any moment.
[Who are these two people? Where is everybody else? Why is it so quiet?] thought Adam to himself, confused by what was going on.
Adam was ready to attack the instant that the two figures were revealed from behind the rising barrier, but he was surprised to see the slender legs of a young female beside that of a man that seemed to be wearing a suit.
He couldn't sense any energy or gauge the aura of the two figures, so decided to use the Status Peering Feature on the male.
The man seemed to be older, from his size, and he didn't think that a girl with such perfect skin and slender legs, which made him think she was quite young, could be a cultivator.
However as he tried to do so, the system feature was denied and the same occurred when he tried it on the girl.
The only other time that had occurred was when he had tried it on his master, who had surpassed the Novice Cultivation Level, and instantly Adam began regretting his decision.
Two Advanced Cultivators were about to find him and he had nowhere to escape to, and even if he did have a way to get away, he wouldn't be fast enough to get away from two Advanced Cultivators.
His only other option was to try and negotiate with them, and as long as they weren't from the Lin Family or the triad, he should be able to offer them something that they wanted.
Calming down and trying to suppress his Bloodlust as much as possible, Adam realised that the only thing he could rely on to get him out of his situation was his luck.
He had some blood on his clothes and his hands that had spluttered on him while the triad members, while his contact lenses were somehow ground to dust when he used his killing intent to get Angela Valdez and the women to lose consciousness.
The two Advanced Cultivators didn't seem to be in a rush and didn't duck under the barrier that was rising. Instead, they waited for it to rise enough for them to walk through and upon seeing what had happened, they didn't react or seem fazed by it in the slightest.
"I told you that I could smell blood. I guess somebody beat us to the punch" said the female voice.
"Yes young mistress, you are very sharp" praised the male voice that was very deep and intimidating.
As they strolled into the area without a care in the world, they found Adam standing there, unsure how to act.
Even with all of his trump cards, he had no chance at escaping or fighting against a single Advanced Cultivator, let alone two, especially after he had just fought a battle that had tired him out quite a bit.
Diplomacy was his only option and it was the perfect chance to use his Charm Skill for the first time. However, he also didn't want to anger them and cause them to kill him, so he knew that he had to gauge their power and understand their character before doing anything.
