Chapter 210: The Great Elder's Sneak Attack Part 1

Adam lifted multiple weights off Cole's chest and without Adam's training the day before, his connection with Angela and his help in the battle, they would have had no chance of victory.

He was also the main fuel for the team's determination and fighting spirit, as, without him, they would have either been consumed by anger or fear.

Even Angela was surprised by the power she was able to unleash and knew that it was mostly thanks to Adam who had helped her find her purpose and awaken her ambition.

The first time Angela was slashed by Martha's sword during their battle, she let out a screech in pain and it was the first time that she had been injured like that before.

Wayde was furious and had grown to protect Angela over the years that he had been her guardian as if she was his small pretty flower that was fragile.

But after seeing Angela fight back for herself and give him a reassuring smile, he calmed down and was proud of her and grateful for Adam, knowing that it was thanks to him that she was able to break out of her shell.

Despite Adam and his friends being the underdogs, they were able to win with pure willpower, determination and their unique and special abilities that gave them an edge over their opponents.

But for all of those things, the fuel was their strong emotions and all of them were sparked by Adam.

Everything had worked out and many of the elders jumped down to congratulate Cole and Angela, while the great elder jumped down to his son's side and quickly called for some of his subordinates to take Mason to get medical attention. 

The great elder looked over at Cole and Angela with hateful looks and seeing Adam lying on the ground, he was about to walk over to him and take off his mask.

Adam was the one that had wounded his son, leaving him in such a dire state, and was also a mysterious youth that was so capable at such a young age. Additionally, he had a cultivation level that seemed to be low, yet had power that could rival that of a peak Novice Cultivator with his unique abilities.

"Watch yourself, I don't mind burning you to ashes here if you dare to take one more step" warned Wayde as his body burst into flames.

The great elder was confident in his power and skill, but Wayde was a terrifying existence that was feared throughout New York, even by family heads, so he backed down and no longer thought about approaching Adam.

Wayde walked over to Adam and lifted him over his shoulder, as he prepared to take him with him and leave, knowing that he would need time to recover.

The great elder didn't want to allow it to end like that and wanted to somehow get rid of Cole, as if he did, then his son would inevitably become the next family head.

Seeing Cole's face that looked exactly like the previous family head's and the happiness on Cole and William's face, the great elder was bathing in jealousy and anger.

Everything he had worked for had been destroyed in a single battle by a insignificant youth.

The more the idea bounced around his head, the more he wanted to kill him and he knew that if he wanted to get rid of him, he needed to do it then before anyone could stop him and before he officially became the family head.

There were a few elders around Cole, but his back was wide open and the great elder had trained in a skill that he was sure would be able to easily kill Cole.

However, the skill would consume his vitality and not only would it shorten his lifespan, but may also reduce or destroy his cultivation as a cost. Despite that, the attack was extremely fast and would deteriorate the body of the target, giving them a painful and guaranteed death.

Seeing Cole's back wide open and all the hate that he was feeling, the great elder activated the skill without thinking about it any longer and was quite sure that the family would only imprison him and wouldn't kill him.

After Cole was killed, Mason would become the family head and could take him out of the prison with his authority, then could help him recover from the skill's backlash with the family's resources.

Blinded by hatred, jealousy and ambition, the great elder activated the skill and instantly felt and excruciating pain throughout his entire body. The skill was a sacrificial skill and he had received it from that mysterious organisation that was also the one that provided him with the odourless poison to get rid of the previous family heads.

That mysterious evil organisation was also the one behind the Hospital Director and was pulling strings throughout New York, for their own gain and power, from the shadows.

They had many sacrificial techniques and skills and the technique that Mason used was one of them, but he wasn't stupid enough to use its full power that would almost guarantee that he would destroy his cultivation.

The skill took a few seconds to activate, but no one was paying attention to the great elder who was slumped on the ground, seemingly depressed and lifeless.

What they didn't know was that he was literally pouring all his life and power into a final attack to get rid of Cole. The attack would fire a beam out of his palm, but the beam would be filled with evil and negative energy that would consume the energy of the target.

However, all the negative energy would enter the body of the target and consume it from the inside out, without causing a large commotion or explosion.

It was the perfect attack for a sneak attack and without thinking about it twice, the great elder fired the black beam of evil and negative energy at Cole's back.
