Chapter 13: Performance
As soon as the five men heard Adrian's words, they burst out into laughter. Any sense of caution that they might have had vanished as they continued to laugh mockingly at Adrian.
"F-Fellow Daoists, what's so funny?" Adrian asked as his face morphed into one of suspicion. Perfectly aligning with his current situation.
"Hehehe, we're laughing at your misfortune." One of them said in between cackles.
"Seriously, what kind of terrible luck does he have to run into us after escaping from bandits. I almost feel bad for the guy." Another replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, they all unleashed their aura's letting the demonic essence within them permeate their surroundings.
As soon as Adrian felt those sinister auras, his face turned from suspicion to shock and finally to terror. A truly Oscar-worthy performance. Whatever that is.
Without hesitation, he turned around and made a mad dash towards the other direction. The demonic cultivators merely snickered before three of them disappeared from their initial spots.
They appeared a distance away, right in the direction Adrian was 'escaping' in. He was now trapped in the middle. However, this was precisely his plan.
The three demonic cultivators simply thought that he was panicking and not paying attention to where he was going. However, when he was about a dozen meters away from them, he suddenly sped up.
