Chapter 239: Fury Of The Bandit Tribe Leader Part 1

Lex and the bandit leader began clashing fists and they seemed evenly matched in terms of physical arm strength, but in terms of fist skills and overall power, the bandit leader seemed to have the advantage.

However, it was also clear that Lex was learning and understanding all of the bandit leader's moves and rapidly improving, while also managing to hold his own against the bandit leader despite the weakened state he was in.

The Perceptive Eye was what made that possible and an entire area of 1 kilometre around them had been destroyed and cleared of all people for them to battle.

The speed at which they jumped around and the power that they attacked each other with was amazing to watch, but Lex was beginning to feel his body was experiencing great strain and fatigue.

He couldn't retract his clones as they were protecting the fox beasts and also the innocent individuals in the tribe, so he had no choice but to withdraw and stop fighting against the bandit tribe leader.

Lex was tempted to use the Hell Blaze Flame and Fire Manipulation Eye to destroy the bandit leader and everyone and everything in the area, however, it was too dangerous to use as controlling its damage was difficult to do.

It was also risky to use without being completely focused and in his peak state, as such a strong flame was dangerous to not only those around him, but also himself.

"Angela, I will leave the rest to you," said Lex before jumping away and leaving the bandit tribe leader facing Angela.

Lex had tired out the bandit tribe leader quite a lot and caused him to use up most of his stamina.

He was still a threat and force to be reckoned with, but it was a good test for Angela and Ella was nearby supporting her, while Lex was ready to intervene at any moment.

Ice Domain

The entire area around Angela became shrouded in ice and along with that, the air in the area around her also seemed to become denser and scarcer, reducing the stamina of the bandit tribe leader greatly.

Within her domain, she could sense and feel everything, while she was also surrounded with ice and formed a cold environment that was perfect for her to focus and unleash her attacks.

"She can't be..... That is the power of the Jade Palace" 

The island they were on was remote and very far from the centre of the Lower Plains, but they traded with other islands and had minimal contact with the large continent that was closest to the island.

That allowed them to have basic knowledge about the Lower Plains and also allowed them to hear rumours and stories about the great powers in the Lower Plains, and the Jade Palace was definitely one of them.

The fact that they would only accept female disciples and that they were able to control ice and the cold was widely known.

It was unmistakable and although there were others that used ice, the Jade Palace had so much power, knowledge, resources, opportunities and history, that most couldn't help but wish to join them.

Angela didn't react or respond to what the bandit leader and many other bandits had uttered in amazement, as she couldn't and didn't want to claim that she was from the Jade Palace.

She was an independent cultivator and Lex's companion on his journey and that was what she wanted to be known for.

Ice Dome

Angela placed her palms on the ground as the bandit leader charged towards her and she formed a dome of ice that was reinforced with her energy and protected her from his attack.

The bandit tribe leader's movement and mobility were greatly reduced due to the cold environment and the ice that coated the floor, and he was suddenly struck by a rapid orb of energy that was flung towards him by Ella.

The great bandit tribe leader who could take on any force alone had been equally matched by an unknown young boy, and currently seemed to be being suppressed by two young girls.

Not knowing how to react or what to expect next, the bandits approached Angela's ice domain and were prepared to fight with their leader, not willing to allow him to die.

Even though it was disgraceful for him to require assistance in a battle against three youths, they were bandits and they didn't believe in honour or fighting fair battles.

All they cared about was their own benefit and pleasure, and if the bandit tribe leader was providing them with that, they were willing to support him.

It was clear that the bandit leader would need help, or so it seemed, so he didn't refuse the assistance of his subordinates, however, Lex wasn't going to allow them to gang up on and surround his companions.

"Don't you dare take one step closer. If you do, I will make all your heads roll" 

Lex's voice was authoritative and domineering, while his powerful aura and Dominant Eye suppressed them and defeated their will to fight, as they all moved back.

"Such useless subordinates, they won't even stand with their leader. I will show them that I do not need them and they are merely my pawns" said the bandit leader to himself, annoyed by how easily the bandits were scared off.

Their relationship was one that was merely built on mere mutual benefit and there was no real trust, loyalty or care between them, which was why they backed away so quickly after being scared and threatened by Lex.

If they truly all charged in at once, even Lex and his companions would struggle to fend them off and would have no choice but to retreat or find a way to escape, but Lex was successfully able to force them to back off, allowing Angela to fight to her heart's content.

The bandit leader was becoming angrier and angrier with everything that had occurred. all he wanted to do was torture and punish the three youths, and then discipline the bandits within his tribe.
