He was enjoying his current situation. He knew that the great diamond body was an amazing body-tempering technique, but this went beyond his imagination. He had just stepped into the beginning of the first rank, yet he was able to match a creature that was at the peak of that stage.
Granted, the boar wasn't a magical beast that was known for its physical strength. Its attributes were pretty average and it had no special qualities, but it was still in the peak stage of the first rank. It was almost twice as tall as Adrian and it weighed close to a thousand kilograms. Being able to match its power spoke volumes about the potential of the technique.
The boar shook its head violently. It wanted to free itself from Adrian's grasp. However, Adrian didn't budge. He gritted his teeth and let out a low grunt before mustering up all his strength. His muscles bulged as he started to lean backward slowly.
The boar had an incredulous look on its face as it slowly felt itself being lifted up from the ground. Its view of the terrain slowly turned upside down as Adrian lifted it above his head. With a slight yell, Adrian fell backward and allowed gravity to help him as he sent the boar crashing to the ground.
The boar landed with a thud that shook the surrounding region.
Without giving the boar any time to regain its senses, Adrian leaped onto the now exposed underside of the boar and started throwing repeated punches towards the chest without holding anything back. Blood splattered as his fist penetrated into the beast's skin. His punches soon landed on the rib cage before promptly breaking them.
He only stopped when his punch landed on the beast's heart and shattered it. The light faded from the boar's eyes before its body finally went limp. It was dead.
Adrian heaved a sigh before jumping down from the beast's body. He was about to store it in his storage ring when he noticed a few presences that were approaching him at full speed. From their auras, he knew that they weren't magical beasts but rather, humans.
His body tensed up as he immediately drew his sword and readied himself for a battle.
After a few moments, 5 figures appeared from the fog while staring at Adrian with a curious look on their faces. They could sense his cultivation level so they weren't worried about him. They couldn't see his face because he had quickly drawn up his mask before they arrived.
Adrian stared at the new arrivals in silence. From their robes, he could see that they were disciples of a sect but he didn't know which one. That discovery did little to appease him. Just because they were disciples of a sect didn't mean they were good people.
The silent atmosphere lasted for a few moments. No one said anything as they were all inspecting each other. Adrian then stored the boar's corpse under the gazes of the five individuals. He then slowly started to back away without removing his gaze from them. The disciples didn't try to stop him and he was about to heave a sigh of relief just as one of them spoke.
"Where are you going?" A cold voice resounded. It was Robert who spoke. It was his idea to come here and he didn't want to leave without anything.
Adrian turned his head to stare at Robert without speaking. His grip on his sword tightened as he readied himself for a fight.
That display didn't deter Robert as he kept on speaking.
"Give us everything in your space ring or else you won't leave this place alive."
He said while smirking.
Adrian still didn't say anything. His mind was contemplating what to do but he could find no solution our of that situation. Without a word, the corpse of the boar reappeared again along with some rank 2 healing pills with a few thousand low grade qi stones.
He started to walk away slowly again before Robert erupted in fury.
"What the f*ck is this? I said give us everything you have. Are you treating us like beggars? Do you think we have no money?"
His voice rose as he continued rambling on.
At this point, everyone turned to stare at Robert. Adrian was staring at him with a look that said ' Are you a fool?'
Even the rest of his group were looking at him with disappointment. There were even some traces of disdain on the faces of the girls.
What else was he expecting from a rogue cultivator in the fifth stage of the foundation establishment realm? It was natural that he didn't have much. Their group was better off than him, but this was because they were disciples of a sect.
