Eye System - Chapter 264
Lex being able to dodge so many fast attacks at such close range while remaining calm and confident was incredible, along with him somehow managing to teleport himself away from the giant man.
While the sheer speed, size and power of his opponent were also equally as amazing and both had revealed something about themselves.
What Lex had gathered that from their simple and short flurry of attacks that had been flung towards him, that his opponent was someone who wouldn’t use any kicks.
Since he was a swordsman that was to be expected, and although that didn’t mean he was slow and wasn’t skilled in footwork, but it meant that there was an obvious weakness that Lex could exploit. His feet were so heavily planted into the ground and he seemed to prioritise balance and stability over explosiveness, which was a good decision considering his size, but had its flaws.
Meanwhile, the giant man had figured out what he believed were the only two abilities that Lex had and was granted from each eye. Despite his size and brutish appearance, he was quite observant and intelligent.
He observed small fluctuations of energy and contractions in his left eye when he was attacking, which led him to believe that his left eye was able to enhance Lex’s reflexes, which was true to an extent.
While when Lex suddenly moved backwards instantaneously, he sensed the power coming from his right eye, which led him to believe that Lex’s right eye could manipulate space or at least allow him to distort space around him to move backwards.
The concept of space wasn’t foreign to most cultivators, but it was very complex and understood or able to be observed by few, while it was also rare that anyone had the ability to manipulate space in the slightest.
And yet Lex could, and also seemed to have a second ability, along with the rumoured capability to wield fire. With such great abilities, and also talent and combat prowess, he truly was amazing.
“So, where is that scary flame of yours. Are you not going to use it against me?” asked the giant man, seemingly underestimating it and not believing what he had heard about it.
The 13th elder had warned all those that were going to take on his task, that if he truly came across the one that had gone against him, that his fire was extremely dangerous and not to be taken lightly.
But it seemed as though he didn’t think that a flame could harm his body, which would have been true if it was just any ordinary flame.
“You are not worthy of needing me to use my flame, but from what you have said, it seems that you truly are the dog of that elder that I defeated,” answered Lex in a mocking manner.
Instantly, the giant man became enraged as he unleashed a powerful killing intent and glared at Lex for daring to call him a dog and disrespect his master.
“You didn’t defeat anyone. My master is alive and well, while you only managed to wound him since he was in the process of recovering to his former power. Within a few years, the Blood Moon Sect will be resurrected and we will dominate the world, and you are merely an ant that will be crushed by me!” he bellowed.
The Master of the Blood Sword Group’s affiliation with the Blood Moon Sect had only been rumoured, but for him to declare it so openly, he must be crazy, since the Blood Moon Sect was the sworn enemy of most other cultivation sects.
“So it really is you, the one my master instructed us to find and capture, and kill if we have to. He said you were still only an early Golden Mortal Eye Master with a great evil power within you, but you have definitely progressed a lot,” he said, seeing how powerful Lex had become.
“I never expected you to come straight to me and give me the opportunity to please the master. Unfortunately for you, this will be where you die!” he declared as his speed and power suddenly increased massively and he launched himself towards Lex.
Lex quickly used the Spacial Eye to move out of the way of the giant man’s attack, but he was surprisingly nimble and agile, quickly changing direction and launching himself towards Lex.
“You little coward, I will crush you no matter how many times to teleport around the place!” he exclaimed as he launched a fist towards Lex, who didn’t use his Spacial Eye to avoid it.
Instead, since he was mid air, he used Kano to move over to the side and evade the punch, the grabbed the giant man’s arm and flung him onto the ground.
Despite the gap in physical strength, in the air, Lex had the advantage, while he also wasn’t completely unable to compete with him in terms of power.
Immediately after doing so, Lex launched himself towards the ground where he had slammed the giant man and formed a crater, and struck his stomach with all the downwards force he could generate.
However, his attack seemed to have no effect on the giant man and he quickly jumped away from him as he stood up and laughed at Lex’s attempt to damage him.
Sensing the large clash of energy and power, Ella who was interested to see how powerful Lex was and also who his opponent was created a hole in space that she could peer through.
Using it, she could watch the battle remotely while she protected the slaves that Lex had freed, and she also made it so that Angela could watch the battle as well.
Sensing that he was being watched through space, Lex had never thought of using his Spacial Eye that way before and had thought of a new skill, while he also sensed that it was Ella, since the faint trace of energy used to do so was familiar to him.
None of the others, including the giant man, were able to sense that they were being watched and it wasn’t visible to the naked eye, but they were more interested in the battle itself.
