Chapter 498 - Powerhouses Of The Black Dragon Gang
Although he was surrounded by hundreds of cultivators, Adam decided to become invisible, which he could do through his Stealth Ring. Then matched with his Form Concealment capability, the Black Dragon Gang members would be unable to see or sense where he was.
They were all rowdy and making a lot of nice, while they were also crowded quite closely together, so there was a lot of confusion and it would take them a few seconds to realise that Adam had disappeared.
In those few seconds, he planned to reach the 3 powerhouses that were left of the Black Dragon Gang and take them down, then search for the Head of the Gang, who even in the Hyperactive Mental State, Adam was unable to find.
His grey ring on his right hand began to glow, and suddenly, Adam disappeared into thin air and any trace of his presence dissipated, almost as if he had never been there in the first place. The Black Dragon Gang members that were closest to Adam and were attacking him were confused and shocked, and began passing on the news, but it was going just like Adam expected it to.
As soon as he turned invisible, Adam jumped up into the air, then used the Burst Movement Skill to manoeuvre in the air, making sure not to use too much power or reveal his presence while doing so.
Then when he reached the three powerhouses who were all stood close to each other near the back of the Black Dragon Gang's troops, he undid his invisibility and landed in front of them with an evil smile on his face.
"What the hell! Where did he come from?"
"And how did he know where we were,"
They were baffled and amazed by Adam's sudden appearance, but reacted quickly as they all suddenly unleashed their most powerful attacks towards Adam all at once.
There was the Fire Powerhouse of the Black Dragon Gang, the Sword Powerhouse of the Black Dragon Gang and the Speed Powerhouse of the Black Dragon Gang left for Adam to take down.
The Serpent Powerhouse that Adam had previously taken down was quite skilled and capable, but was the weakest out of the four powerhouses, which was why he had been dispatched first.
Adam sensed that they were all low level Master Cultivators, and sensed the Fire Energy emanating from the Fire Powerhouse, who also appeared to be the strongest out of the three. However, just like with the Serpent Powerhouse, in Adam's eyes, they were far from being powerhouses and he would take them all down quite easily.
The only issue was that their attacks could cause a lot of damage to the local area and it would be difficult to suppress all three of them at once, so Adam decided to draw them out of the city.
It seemed as though they had no intention of retreating or trying to escape from him, while they definitely didn't appear to be holding back, so it was the best course of action, that would also give Adam more freedom to unleash more of his power.
The Fire Powerhouse fired a beam of fire, that Adam dodged, and ended up burning and launching dozens of the Black Dragon members flying. The Sword Powerhouse flung an energy blade towards Adam, followed up by a rapid sword slash, and the Speed Powerhouse launched himself towards Adam and aimed a punch towards his face.
He dodged the fire beam and energy blade, but then had to handle the sword slash and rapid punch. Their attacks were aligned and timed perfectly to trap and overwhelm an opponent, making it so that avoiding all of the attacks was almost impossible, but Adam still found an opening.
The Speed Powerhouse seemed to be the weakness and although had incredible speed, didn't have much power behind his fist, while would be much easier to handle than the sword attack.
Grabbing the slender man's fist, Adam used him as a human shield for the sword attack and the Sword Powerhouse could barely stop the attack, slashing his own companion and leaving a deep wound in his back.
After doing so, Adam dashed away, in the direction of an open and empty area outside of the city.
Seeing him do so, the three powerhouses of the Black Dragon Gang rushed after him, and while doing so, organised their men and ordered them to follow after them.
They had stopped concealing their power and removed their disguise, immediately being recognised by the gang members that were all their subordinates, as they did exactly what they said and followed after them.
Adam who was running out of the city at speeds that your average car would struggle to keep up with was being chased by three figures, who were then being followed by an army of hundreds of cultivators.
It was shocking how openly and publically cultivators used their power in China, but then considering that most were cultivators and knew about it, they had nothing to hide. While Adam was also beginning to understand why they called it a place filled with opportunities, but also dangers for cultivators.
Adam was yet to have been hit once and also hadn't exerted himself much, but seeing how many opponents he was facing, and knowing that their boss was still hidden somewhere, he was hoping they would be able to impress him and put up a challenge.
The Speed Powerhouse had quite a deep wound on his back, but it didn't affect him much and he was a Master Cultivator who prized himself in his speed, so quickly caught up to Adam who wasn't suing his full speed, but was still quite impressed by the slim man's speed.
"I will kill you and show you who the fastest of us is" he bellowed as he burst towards Adam and began unleashing a flurry of rapid punches towards Adam.
Adam smiled as he took all of his attacks head-on and stopped running away, having already drawn them out enough from the city to be able to unleash more of his power.
