While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 446 - The Silent Ghost



In a matter of seconds, Adam took down all the troops that Major Carlson had gathered from the Cultivator Defence Base, which was under the military base.

He didn't kill anyone and merely knocked them all out, but the speed at which he had managed to do so and how easily he made it seem was extraordinary.

Adam's control was incredible, and he had made sure that his killing intent and aura didn't have an effect on Major Carlson, who wasn't a cultivator.

He wanted to make sure he stayed conscious and saw everything so that he could feel despair before being killed by Adam.

"I don't have issues with whatever government or military organisation this is, but I will not allow threats and people attempting to kill me go unpunished. You are merely the first to try, and the one I will make an example out of," said Adam as he began walking over to Major Carlson.

Major Carlson felt as though his body was frozen and his feet were planted to the ground, unable to move due to the fear he felt as Adam approached him.

Adam had returned his eyes to the red colour they were ever since he integrated with the system and gained the Bloodlust Characteristic and glared at the major as he walked over to him.

No matter how hard he tried, Major Carlson was unable to move and as Adam neared him and was about to kill him in a gruesome manner, an old man appeared out of nowhere.

His speed was incredible and even Adam was impressed by it, unable to see the old man move clearly or track his movements.

It was clear that whoever that individual was; he was a very skilled and capable cultivator.

In an instant, Adam gathered that without some sort of technique, enhancement or transformation, he would be unable to match that old man's speed, however, he was confident that he could still beat him.

Adam knew his limits and when to back down from a fight, but the old man that suddenly appeared before him and seemed to be trying to stop him from killing Major Carlson was not someone that Adam was afraid of.

Remembering the names on the Top Cultivator Ranking and the descriptions that came with them, there was someone that matched the description of the old man before him.

There were only a few on the Top Cultivator Ranking that had their faces published, which included Adam.

Adam perfectly remembered all the faces, names and descriptions on the Top Cultivator Ranking and the old man fit the description of a cultivator whose current situation and location were unknown.

It was also unknown whether they were dead or alive, but the description was of a short old man that focused on speed, assassinations and was a master of killing.

His nickname on the Top Cultivator Ranking was the Silent Ghost.

Adam's was Death, which he chose in order to strike fear into his enemies and Adam couldn't help but wonder who exactly the best killer was.

Such a skilled, experienced and powerful opponent was not to be underestimated or taken lightly, but Adam also wasn't going to back down and spare the life of Major Carlson.

"The Silent Ghost, I presume," 

"Yes, and you must be the new cultivator on the Top Ranking. It hasn't changed for a while, and you have caused quite a commotion, taking over a city overnight with your faction,"

"What are you doing here and what do you want?" asked Adam directly as he continued walking towards Major Carlson and walked around him.

"I am now working with the US Cultivator Defence and this country is under our control and protection. I cannot allow you to come in here and do as you please. If I allow you to kill him now, it will taint our reputation of absolute power"

As he said that, the old man put his arm out to stop Adam from walking past him and reaching Major Carlson.

Major Carlson was only a small fry in the grand scheme of things that was ambitious and experienced in management.

However, letting Adam kill him when he pleased without consequence would make it so that people would start thinking that the US Cultivator Defence was a group that no longer had the authority and power they once had.

"Move out of my way old man. This has nothing to do with you. He tried to kill me and draw me out, so I merely returning the favour,"

"I heard his actions and he will be punished for drawing you out, but I cannot allow you to come here and kill him as you please,"

"Hmph, you think that is enough. I will kill him here, and you won't stop me," scoffed Adam, starting to become annoyed by the old man.

Despite the calm manner he spoke to Adam in, he looked at Adam as though he was his superior and was also acting as if he could stop Adam with ease if he wanted to.

"That would be a big hit to our reputation and I cannot allow that. Just give me some face and let him go, otherwise, I will have no choice but to intervene,"

That was the last straw for Adam, who hated being looked down upon.

"I respected you enough to speak to you, but if you don't get out of my way, I will kill you. If wanting to kill him, makes me your enemy, then come at me old man,"

"Those guys were just a bunch of fools and I am still yet to warm up,"

Adam hadn't had the chance to face a high-level Master Cultivator that was human and didn't mind taking the opportunity to increase his position on the ranking, while also testing out his capabilities.

The Silent Ghost was also near the bottom of the Top Cultivator Ranking, but it was very close and impressive to even be on the ranking.

"I was showing you face and treated you with respect as well because of your accomplishments and because he was the one that started it. However, you are a hundred years too young to challenge me and you arrogant young ones need to be taught a lesson,"
