Chapter 254: A Threat

With great speed and using the Body Jolt Skill to its fullest, Lex began attacking the pirates, however, he was no longer able to take them down with single attacks.

He no longer had the element of surprise, while he had only been able to slaughter the weakest of the pirates, who were peak Heaven Mortal Cultivators.

Golden Mortal Cultivators were on an entirely different level, and although Lex could handle them, taking them down in single attacks while facing many of them was very difficult.

With his control over water energy and water itself, Lex had an idea that he wanted to attempt and it would use a lot of energy, but would deal them a big blow and create an opening for him to get on land.

Streaming an incredible amount of Internal Energy into his hands at once, Lex emitted it all towards the sea.

The pirates could all sense and see that Lex was preparing something very large and using unbelievable amounts of energy, however, they were unsure what exactly it was.

After his display of power and skill, they weren't planning on letting him finish whatever he was preparing as they all launched themselves towards him.

However, they were too late and Lex had already succeeded in what he had been planning.

By streaming such large amounts of water energy and by exploiting his perfect affinity with water energy, Lex was capable of many things with the sea around him and it became his weapon.

The Blood Sword Pirates all seemed to be capable of some sort of movement skill or technique that would allow them to move on water, but they didn't seem to be able to sustain and use it for long periods of time.

Despite that, they still relied on their ships and their ships held all of their valuables and loot that they had managed to gather.

By controlling the large amounts of water that he streamed into the sea and causing it to spin at rapid paces, Lex formed an incredibly large whirlpool that encompassed the entire area.

It formed in a matter of seconds and they were unable to resist the circular motion and power of the whirlpool as they were all drawn towards the centre.

Even with their power and skill, escaping such a wide scale attack would be very difficult, while salvaging their treasures would be almost impossible.

While they all struggled to get out of the area that the whirlpool encompassed and save their ships, Lex had already flown off using his Telekinetic Control Eye.

[I will come back to steal the loot that I sunk underground and after slaughtering you all, my inventory will be filled with treasure and money that I will need on this continent] thought Lex as he reached the land and dashed away.

Taking on the captain of the pirate crew while he was supported by all of his powerful subordinates was not something Lex wanted to do, as it was likely to force him to have to use his full power.

Instead, he had been able to indirectly steal their treasure, as they would not be able to save them from the bottom of the sea, which he could by using his Water Elemental Energy Transformation.

Burrowing deep underground with his Land Elemental Energy Transformation, Lex recovered his energy and could sense the pirates all looking for him on land.

Along with that, after a few hours, he sensed that they had called for even more reinforcements and it seemed to be a second crew of similar size to the pirate crew that Lex had come across.

While Lex was underground, the captain and his crew of pirates failed to save their ships and wouldn't be able to retrieve them either, just like Lex had expected, but almost all of them still managed to make it out of the whirlpool alive.

The captain instructed all of his crew to search and survey the area, while also making sure to keep in contact with each other and move in small groups.

If any signs of Lex were found or they engaged in combat with him, they were to send a signal and make sure to alert everybody else in the crew.

In the meantime, he left his crew to do that and headed towards the Blood Sword Group's headquarters.

It was clear to the captain that Lex wasn't planning on letting them off and also treated them as if they were the prey, making it so that he knew Lex would be a threat to the Blood Sword Group.

After his display of skill and power, and after seeing his two companions that seemed unusual and extraordinary, the captain made it his priority to alert the Master of the Blood Sword Group of what was occurring.

He was a famed Mortal King and was infamous and known for his ruthlessness, while was also very generous and protective of his subordinates and his reputation.

Until they were sure of Lex and his companion's identities, origin and background, it was best to eliminate or subdue them as allowing them to get away from them could cause them great troubles.

Requesting an audience with the Master and stating that it was urgent, the captain was nervous and had an idea of how the Master would react, but was sure that it was for the best and was willing to be scolded.

He was confident in his own capability, but his cautiousness led him to always try to minimise risk and facing Lex alone was something that he didn't want to do.

"Master, I came here to inform you of an individual that is a threat to us and is hiding within our territory," 

As soon as he said that, the Master of the Blood Sword Group along with the other captain level individuals that were present were all shocked.

For him to declare such a thing, knowing his great judgement and cautiousness alerted them all, but after hearing everything else they had to say, they couldn't help but become enraged.
