YM778.TV Chapter 142 - Cold-hearted Killer
Adam had become desensitised to killing and with a characteristic that enjoyed and desired to kill, it was something that had become ordinary to him.
He had killed thousands of beasts in the dungeon and already killed a few people in reality, but he didn\'t feel guilty about it in the slightest.
Adam believed that even without the Bloodlust Characteristic and Hunter\'s mind, he still wouldn\'t have felt guilty, as when he killed in the dungeon, he was killing beasts, that although seemed real, would disintegrate into pixels and were attacking him anyway.
While for those that he had killed in reality, he felt that they deserved it and didn\'t regret killing anybody that he had killed.
Life is the only thing that was given to everybody equally and was the most valuable thing, that from what he knew, was only given once. Because of that, taking someone\'s life was a big deal, especially if they were innocent.
However, if somebody was willing to abuse what they had over others to commit atrocities that affected innocent women and children, Adam felt that they deserved more than death and depending on the circumstance, would kill them without giving them a second thought.
Lately, Adam felt as though he was always hungry, no matter how much he ate and he soon came to realise that he wasn\'t hungry for food, but for blood.
His Bloodlust characteristic gave him an insatiable desire to kill, and as long as he satisfied that desire and could control it, would grant him incredible power in difficult situations that needed him to rely on it.
Killing the triad members was the perfect opportunity to satisfy his Bloodlust, while saving some innocent women from being harassed and abused and getting rid of some scum.
The triad group leader seemed to be trained in martial arts and was quite skilled in the use of the dagger that he held in his right hand, as he slashed at Adam\'s neck, going straight in for the kill.
Adam pulled his body back and dodged the slash by a short margin, as he countered with a slash of his own that the triad group leader was able to barely dodge.
He was surprised that the triad group leader was able to mostly dodge his attack and he merely caused him a small cut with his slash, that although didn\'t use all of his power, was still quite fast and powerful.
"Your fighting ability is not bad, but today all of you will be dying" stated Adam who slashed downwards with all his speed and strength.
His attack deeply cut into the triad group leader\'s shoulder, breaking into the bone and inflicting a deep wound that was pouring out large amounts of blood.
It was the first time that Adam was fighting seriously against a cultivator that had some skill in reality, and it was a great experience for him as he avoided 5 consecutive attacks from the other triad members.
With the element of surprise, he was able to easily and swiftly take out one of the triad gang members, who was still alive and screaming in pain on the ground, but against 6 cultivators at once, he was completely focused.
Even with his high speed, he needed to be careful as he avoided all the attacks that were thrown at him, while leaving deep slashes on his multiple opponents, damaging them and weakening them slowly.
Within a few minutes, all of the triad members were fatigued and had thrown most of what they had at Adam, who was careful and avoided most of them, while blocking the attacks that weren\'t a threat to him with his enhanced resistance.
The triad group were surprisingly good at working together and supported each other well as they all attempted to take down Adam, fighting for their lives, and they were all skilled fighters that had weapons with them.
But Adam\'s speed, reflexes and combat prowess surpassed theirs and they were struggling to damage Adam, even when they managed to land hits on them, so it was clear to them that they didn\'t have much of a chance against him.
"How about we negotiate and..." offered one of the triad members before he had his neck sliced by Adam\'s swift blade.
It had taken him a few minutes, but he had quickly become accustomed to the use of the sabre, its length and its weight, making his attacks with the sabre even more lethal.
While the triad members were scared for their lives and tiring out, Adam was becoming more skilled in the use of the sabre and wasn\'t tired in the slightest.
"2 down, 5 more scum to go" stated Adam with the same glaring expression that he had.
His victory was guaranteed.
He had slowly broken down his opponents both mentally and physically and none of them had the will left to fight against him.
They had all lost a lot of blood from the wounds that Adam had inflicted them, along with them being fatigued from the energy that they had used, wiping all the chances they had of winning against him.
2 of the triad members could no longer handle the pressure and fear, especially after being weakened by Adam massively without being able to damage him, and lost consciousness.
"Shit, it seems that you really are going to kill us all. Are you not afraid of the triad and the Lin Family? If you kill us, they will send an Advanced Cultivator to kill you" uttered the triad group leader in a final bid to save his own life.
"I am a cold-hearted killer and it is time for all of you to pay for your sins with your lives" stated Adam, ignoring the triad group leader\'s threat.
Adam was glad that he had decided to use them as a way to relieve his Bloodlust, that was beginning to pile up on him over the past month, and wanted to finish them off quickly so that he could leave before anything happened.
