Chapter 238: Battle Of Fists


    It was the first time that the bandits had seen their tribe leader attempt to negotiate and allow such disrespectful attitude and behaviour to go unpunished.


    Lex had killed thousands of bandits, and yet the bandit leader was still trying to recruit him and was patiently trying to negotiate with him.


    Despite that, the three unknown, young individualsughed in his face and didn''t take anything he said seriously, while they also looked at him with disdain.


    "Listen up, if you roll around on the floor like a dog and beg me for your life, I will give you a swift pain"


    Lex''s proposalpletely shocked all the bandits even more knowing how powerful the bandit leader was and how brave, or stupid, someone needed to be to talk to him in such a way.


    "I have had enough, this is where you will die, but before then, I will make sure you experience pain and watch yourdies be enjoyed by me" roared the bandit leader.


    He no longer had the patience to deal with Lex''s disrespectful and arrogant attitude, and he was nning on making him wish that he was dead and never came to that ind.


    "I will just take your treasures from you after you die" he bellowed as heunched himself towards Lex, who was walking towards him.


    From his movement and speed, it was clear that he was skilled and as a Mortal King that was experienced and adept inbat, he would be a difficult opponent and could also single-handedly take on hundreds of Golden Mortal Cultivators.


    However unfortunately for him, he was facing Lex, E and Ang who weren''t your average Golden Mortal Cultivators.


    Almighty Crushing Fist


    Lex gathered up immense power and energy into his fist and entered a wide horse stance that allowed him to draw the most amount of power into a single attack, before striking outwards towards the bandit leader who had jumped towards him.


    Seeing Lex using a Fist Striking Skill, the bandit leader who was famed for his fists and was one of the only capable bandits that preferred to fight unarmedughed to himself.


    "I will show you what a true Fist Striking Skill looks like," he said as he activated a skill of his own and met Lex''s Fist in mid-air.


    There was an extremely powerful andrge shockwave, which went to show just how powerful both their attacks were, and both of them wereunched sliding backwards and destroying multiple small buildings in the process.


    [His arms and fists appear to be tempered and trained very well, while the skill he was used was also very powerful. I used my full power and strength in that attack, and yet it seemed he evenly matched me. Although, it is clear that the rest of his body cannot be said to be as powerful as his arms and fists that he focused on training on] thought Lex to himself.


    [However, he is not to be underestimated and could still be holding back some unknown power, and I am also in a weakened state both physically and mentally because of sustaining 5 powerful clones at once. It seems I will truly need to rely on Ang and E in this battle] he gathered, not overestimating himself or underestimating his opponent.


    Meanwhile, the bandit leader was also deep in thought and was amazed by impressed by Lex even more, but he was still confident in his own capabilities.


    ''That kid packs quite a punch and his body is incredible. It is the strongest and most well-built body I have ever seen in my life. It is also unbelievable how strong that punch was, it was even able to rival my second most powerful attack. I might really have to use that attack on an unknown brat''


    Lex and the bandit leader both got up and dusted their clothing before walking back over to where their battle had begun.


    The shockwave of their sh hadunched everyone and everything in the area flying, while E and Ang had prepared themselves for it, but were still sent sliding backwards.


    Their physical power was incredible, but it merely made Ang more eager to fight him and she was looking for a chance to prove herself.


    While E was always calm and nonchnt and would provide support, but wasn''t nning on fighting all-out unless she needed to, since she preferred it that way.


    Lex and Ang stood opposite to the bandit leader, with E standing closely behind them and ready to provide support and attack using ranged attacks.


    "Ang, did you sessfully learn something to increase your explosive power?" asked Lex.


    She nodded her head and her attitude was cold since she had activated her icy spiritual roots, however, it was clear she was excited to battle.


    Ang was yet to put the Ice Explosion Ability that she had managed to understand and learn to use, and although having the theoretical knowledge and being able to practically use it was very different, there was no better time to tray and use it than a battle.


    "Alright then, I will let you deal the final blow and be the one to deal the most damage. But before you do, I would like to test who is stronger and will tire him out for you slightly" stated Lex.


    It was infuriating to see how rxed they were despite being in the middle of a bandit tribe and facing their leader, and it made the bandit tribe leader even more curious as to who they were and their origin.


    Knowing that the great powers in the centre of the Lower ins could destroy their entire ind in an instant, he was worried that they might be from some sort ofrge sect or family.


    However, theming from the south was enough proof for him to assume that they didn''t have a background, and either way, he had no choice but to strike them down, as his reputation would be destroyed and they were also clearly nning on killing him.
