Chapter 494 - Serpent Style

The Serpent Powerhouse of the Black Dragon Gang launched himself towards Adam and unleashed a flurry of rapid palm strikes, and he seemed to have integrated the Palm Blade Skill into his Serpent Style.

With his hands being tempered and coated in energy to be as sharp as a blade, along with his rapid and explosive attacks, he was a force to be reckoned with and had been able to take down most opponents at his level.

He had even been able to fight on par with those that were stronger than himself, however; he had never faced anybody as skilled, experienced and capable as Adam, who was comfortably dodging all of his attacks.

Adam even had his arms behind his back and had a relaxed and nonchalant expression, seemingly not even recognising him as a worthy opponent.

"Is this all you have got? I was expecting more from someone in your position... It seems as though I overestimated you," mocked Adam, who continued dodging his attacks with ease.

"I, Huang Feng, hereby declare that I will kill you, and will keep trying until I can," he proclaimed, outraged by Adam's mockery and continued attacking him wildly.

Huang Feng was obsessed and quite talented in martial arts, able to come up with his own fighting style, but it was his obsession that was holding him back, along with the guilt and hatred that he felt for himself.

Who could truly love themselves while living such an evil and dishonourable life?

Seeing Adam as someone that could allow him to reach the next level by taking and learning everything he has, Huang Feng almost appeared to be losing his sanity as he unleashed quite a powerful killing intent.

"The first time I killed, I was 12. All I had was some clothes and the desire to become strong and kill the murderers of my parents. With a knife in my hand, I slashed and slaughtered anyone I was instructed to by the boss and became a tool of murder. Killing you will barely add to the number of people I have killed, and with the Ghost Steps, I can finally perfect my Serpent Style," he depicted as he unleashed even more power, which seemed to be too much for his body to handle.

His killing intent was quite thick and strong, while it was also sad that he had been forced to live such a life of crime, filled with guilt, regret and trauma. He had turned everything he had experienced into fuel to add to his hate and obsession with power, but the truth was he hated himself.

He saw what he wanted to be in Adam, someone that could help others and was a talented and skilled cultivator that lived freely.

Despite not knowing anything about him, envy, jealousy and hatred towards Adam arose within him and it was an uncontrollable amount, to the point that he even began burning his own life force to take him down.

"Your gonna kill yourself before you even land a single attack on me, and your killing intent is far from enough to intimidate me," stated Adam, as he released his own killing intent that was infinitely thicker and more powerful than that of Huang Feng.

He couldn't help but be shaken and intimidated by the killing intent, and it was so powerful that he struggled to stay conscious under the power and pressure that it bore over him.

Meanwhile, his men were completely unable to handle it and all collapsed, but Adam had made sure to control how far his killing intent spread out. He made sure that it didn't reach Liao Wei and his mother, along with all the other innocents in the area that might be watching or going about with their day.

It seemed as though the Black Dragon Gang were so powerful and influential in the region that the police wouldn't get involved in their actions as long as it wasn't too much of a public outrage, which this time backfired.

Police wouldn't be able to do much to Adam, but he would be more inclined to leave and hold himself back, but since they wouldn't be getting themselves involved in the Black Dragon Gang's business, no one could stop Adam from dealing with them.

Despite already being clearly shown he was no match for Adam, retreating was no longer an option for Huang Feng who had already begun to burn his own life force and was too far into the battle to turn back.

He was also unwilling to back down and give up on defeating Adam and getting his hands on everything that he had, however just like Adam said, he wasn't even able to land a single attack on him.

That was even with Adam merely matching his opponent's power level, and if he used his full power or actually tried to kill Huang Feng, it would have already been over in less than a second.

Huang Feng stood there in the same Serpent Stance, panting heavily and drenched in sweat, while the veins all around his body were protruding and on the verge of bursting after he pushed his body too far past its limits.

Any further, and he would destroy his cultivation and body and the damage would be irreversible, which he knew, and it caused him to begin to return to his senses.

However, he began to doubt himself too late and Adam had already decided that he would kill him, so there was no escape for him.

"Liao Wei, close your eyes and get your mother to turn around," called out Adam.

Hearing him, Liao Wei was confused as to why Adam instructed him to cover his eyes and get his mother to do the same, but he still did so without asking any questions.

Seeing him do so, Adam suddenly waved his arm and a blade of energy fly out of his hand and sliced cleanly through the right leg of Huang Feng.

The blade of energy cut through like a hot knife through butter, and Huang Feng let out a cry of pain, causing Liao Wei to reflexively look to see what was occurring.
