Chapter 376 - Is It Really All Over?
The Lin Family Head cared for many things like power and wealth, which were quite ordinary, however, one thing he cared for above all was his reputation.
He had a very prideful and arrogant nature and ever since beginning his journey as a cultivator, sought out any way to make him stand out and be superior to others and once he became the Lin Family Head, he wanted to take over the world.
However, that was merely the pipe dream of an overly arrogant and ignorant man who didn't care about what happened to others other than himself.
Angela looked at the Lin Family Head with disdain and as though he was mere trash, which infuriated him, but to her was the truth.
Compared to Adam who was just and kind to those that he cared about and were innocent, while ruthless and cold to those that opposed him or oppressed others, she detested the Lin Family Head.
The Maxwell and Epstein Family had reformed greatly and although they may have lost resources in the process, their power increased due to them valuing their people and companions more.
The Lin Family Head kept most of the power to himself and made sure that anyone within his organisation that was a threat to him, other than any of his children, were eliminated and because of that, although his organisation was powerful, it didn't have any loyalty or longevity.
The youths from the other families were incredible and developing greatly and at rates that had never been seen before, surpassing all the previous generations and his children, which already angered the Lin Family Head.
Matched with the looks of disgust that Angela aimed towards him, he was infuriated greatly and unleashed even more of his power, which he seemed to have been suppressing.
He also seemed to be using some sort of enhancement technique, and from the aura he was giving off and the great leap his power experienced, it was evidently an evil cultivation technique.
His ruthless, cold and careless nature made it so that it was very believable that he would do anything to increase his power and there had already been rumours that he was an evil cultivator, however, nobody dared to speak of such things in his presence or criticise them.
Cole, Wayde, Chase and Elizabeth were too wounded and fatigued to even move, let alone save Angela who was being charged towards by a powerful beast who had unleashed great power, comparable to a Master Cultivator.
Angela closed her eyes and knew that there was no point trying to defend against such a fast and powerful attack, while the others were too fatigued to even react to the attack as they watched helplessly.
They had already stumbled to their knees and even a Novice Cultivator would be able to take them down after how long and hard they fought, initially against the opposing cultivators, then against the Lin Family Head.
Adam had been watching the entire time and still didn't act as he hovered above the battlefield in his Soul Form and watched everything pan out.
"Don't you dare attack my granddaughter" shouted the previous Maxwell Family Head as he dashed towards the Lin Family Head and took on his attack for Angela.
The Maxwell Family Head had been greatly weakened and injured by the backlash he received through his failed breakthrough, however, he was still a capable cultivator and was able to release great power due to his desire to protect his granddaughter.
"He, you thought you would be able to stop me. Even in your peak state, you have no chance against me" scoffed the Lin Family Head mockingly as he launched the Maxwell Family Head flying backwards with a single attack.
The Maxwell Family Head blurted a curdle of blood from the impact of the blow, but despite the pain, he was experiencing, still dashed towards Angela who was about to be attacked by the Lin Family Head.
Just as Angela was about to be struck by a Fist Striking Skill that the Lin Family Head had launched towards her chest, the Maxwell Family Head managed to appear before her.
In order to do so, he sacrificed part of his scarce remaining lifeforce, which allowed him to experience a large speed boost, but it was only enough to take the blow in the place of Angela.
Such techniques were forbidden and only allowed to be used as a last resort, and he felt as though he was already old and it was his duty to protect the next generation that had greatly surpassed them.
Tears flowed from the eyes of Chase, Cole, Elizabeth and Angela, who felt weak and helpless, while Wayde also surprisingly seemed emotional as the end of the Maxwell Family Head's life seemed unavoidable.
The horrible feeling of helplessness and weakness was something that they had experienced time and time again, but they managed to endure and pull through no matter what.
However, when they thought about it, without Adam, most of them wouldn't have even achieved half of what they had achieved in the past year and they also wouldn't have been able to change so much for the better.
All they could think about was how they had let down themselves and Adam, while their death seemed to be imminent and unavoidable.
Adam felt bad for them, but still had a smile on his face and becoming emotional was something that he left behind and he had vowed that he would always be grateful and happy no matter what occurred.
The Lin Family Head was very powerful and capable, along with the rest of the cultivators that he had brought with him, however, they were still not a match for him.
Because of that, he had no reason to be upset as everything he was watching was in his control and he could intervene at any moment as he suddenly switched to his Physical Form.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye and there was a large shockwave and once everyone opened their eyes to see what had occurred, what they saw shocked them greatly.
