'I am so pathetic and will lose everything I worked for and ashame Big Bro'
'Even after all that training and preparation, is it really all over?'
'I finally gained the chance to cultivate and he forgave me, but now I am going to let him down'
'Even though I am years older than them and am meant to be her protector, they still all outshined me and she is about to be killed before me and I am unable to do anything about it'
These thoughts went through the minds of Chase, Cole, Elizabeth and Wayde, while Anglea's mind was frozen and she was overwhelmed by fear and helplessness.
The Lin Family Head's power and aura were strong enough to intimidate and overwhelm any Adanvced Cultivator, especially with that powerful fist strike aimed towards them.
'At least I will save my granddaughter in my last moments. I am glad I was able to witness the great change in New York and all I can do is hope that he makes it here and is powerful enough to save everybody' thought the previous Maxwell Family Head to himself as he embraced the Lin Family Head's attack with a smile on his face.
In what they all believed were going to be the last moments of their life, all they felt was weakness, helplessness, regret and shame and Adam was also one of the biggest things they all thought about.
Adam knew it was a painful and hard experience for them to endure, but he was hoping that it would help shape them and push them to become stronger and didn't want to intervene until they could no longer fight.
It seemed as though they had all lost hope and he didn't want to let the old man of the Maxwell Family die and the Lin Family Head's powerful attack was likely to pierce straight through him and also kill Angela.
Adam was impressed with the Lin Family Head's power and the abilities that his friends were able to display, but it was time for him to take the burden off their shoulders and lend them a helping hand.
With a single hand, Adam caught the fist of the Lin Family Head and neutralised all the oppressive, evil energy that coated his fist, with energy of his own.
Adam's body handled the impact of the attack with relative ease and reinforced his arm in advance for him to be able to catch the punch.
However although he caught the punch and stopped it, the impact and power of the punch were still there and Adam stood his ground, but a large shockwave was released.
The Lin Family Head didn't understand what had just happened and the shockwave also caused there to be a large amount of dust, so for an instant, nobody knew what had happened.
However, after everyone opened their eyes and saw a lean figure with long black hair standing opposite to the Lin Family Head and clasping his fist with a single hand, everyone was shocked.
The previous Maxwell Famly Head and Angela were launched sliding backwards from the impact, but weren't injured because of it and after seeing the back of the figure, couldn't help but let out a cry of joy.
Their prayers had been answered and without needing to look at his face, they were all sure that it was Adam that had arrived in the nick of time and some cultivators around the edges of the centre also stopped their battles to observe what was occurring.
"Was I late?" asked Adam with a smile as he looked back at his friends, seemingly not caring about the powerful opponent that stood opposite him.
His friends and the cultivators that were watching couldn't help but be amazed by how easily he seemed to be able to catch the powerful fist of the Lin Family Head and were also shocked by how relaxed he was.
"Who the hell are you?" exclaimed the Lin Family Head, shocked by his sudden appearance.
He couldn't sense or gauge anything from Adam's body, and although he was a careful individual, he was extremely confident in his power, especially in the enhanced state he was in, so he had no reason to hold back.
Along with that, the way Adam stopped his attack and his relaxed attitude was insulting to him and he couldn't allow such blatant displays of disrespect to go unpunished.
"You dare to underestimate me, I will show you the true power of a cultivator" he roared as his power seemed to increase even further.
"Dragon Fist"
Dragon Fist was the prized skill of the Lin Family and it was a series of fist techniques that also came with a matching movement technique that was described to allow one to unleash the power of a dragon.
The Lin Family prepared the even more powerful fist striking skill in his other hand, preparing it to strike Adam's face, however before he even had the chance to do so, Adam decided to show some of his power.
"Kneel, while you're in my presence" ordered Adam domineeringly as he glared at the Lin Family Head.
His voice seemed quiet, but reverberated throughout the battlefield and using his powerful aura, frightening killing intent, along with his King Ring, Adam was able to frighten all the cultivators on the battlefield.
With the Lin Family Head's fist in his hand, Adam squeezed tightly and forced him to his knees with his sheer strength and the oppressive might of his aura and King Ring.
Adam had the choice of concealing his Integrated Equipment, but he decided to keep his 3 rings visible and the ring with a red jewel on his right index finger, glowed as a great power was released from it.
The spirit of the King Ring was enjoying the presence and reverence of the many cultivators around Adam and wanted to unleash even more power as it tried to slip out of Adam's control, but Adam had become very proficient in controlling it.
"Where was I? Oh yeah, I asked was I late" said Adam as he turned back to his friends with a smile on his face.
