The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

271. The Five Nobles of the Deep Ocean

Translator: 独步三月

While two armies were confronting each other, morale was of utmost importance.

The ocean beasts outside the city surrounded the gate of the Iron Fence. The scene was really spectacular and shocking. Let alone the fact that there were a large number of ocean beasts that had yet to climb to the shore. If they really swarmed up, even if the Iron Fence had an iron wall, it would not be able to withstand it.

However, the soldiers of the Iron Fence were all warriors being trained and tempered for long. They had the stamina of not to lose to ocean beasts. Although the groups of ocean beasts below were indeed creeping in sight, they have the warlike family behind them.

The warlike Family might not be so widely known in God and Demon Kingdom, but their reputation in Iron Fence was very high. In addition, in countless battles, the warlike Family had never failed and it had left an unbreakable image in the minds of everyone. It was like the fortress in their hearts. And now, Zhan Chen, master of the warlike Family had showed up.

Therefore, everyone believed that they could win even when facing such powerful ocean beasts.

On the wall, Zhan Chen looked at the man in purple robe on the turtle. His solemn expression hid all his thoughts underneath. “You must be one of the five great nobles in the deep ocean. You with your subordinates are launching an attack to the Iron Fence. Are you attempting to tear up the agreement signed with the guardian?”

The loud and steady voice echoed in the ears of the crowd, and almost everyone could hear it clearly.

However, when they heard “the five great nobles in the deep ocean”, their eyes widened. If this name was mentioned in the God and Demon Kingdom, it was possible that few people would know it; but at the Iron Fence, as long as one had participated in the battle of city-defending, he would not feel strange about the name, because the terror and turbulence in the Northern Region tens of thousands of years ago was initiated by the five great nobles in the deep ocean.

The five nobles in the deep ocean were the most noble races of the Ocean World. They ranked the same as the Kirin in the Forest of the South Region, as well as the Phoenix Clan, and Ancient Heavenly Dragon. The bloodline of the five nobles was more noble than the other ocean beasts by birth, and their talent of cultivating was also something that other ocean beasts could not compare with. However, because of their extremely noble bloodline, the number of the five nobles was not large.

For example, if the number of seals in the Ocean World was a trillion, then the five nobles probably wouldn’t even reach a hundredth of them.

This showed that the people from the five nobles was very rare, but this did not affect their status in the Ocean World. This could be seen from the purple-robe man.

If the man in purple was really a member of the five nobles, then he alone was capable enough to command the large groups of low-level ocean beasts like the seals and the manatees. This was why Zhan Chen presumed that he was a member of the five nobles. An ordinary noble ocean beast could not have the intimidating power to control so many ocean beast groups.

However, the purple-robe man was obviously unmoved. A trace of sneer was revealed from the chiselled face. One could not help wonder who he was scorning: Zhan Chen, or the guardian mentioned by Zhan Chen. Just as Zhan Chen knitted his brows slightly, the purple-robe man finally spoke.

“You, a gatekeeper, are in no position to know who I am.”

The words were extremely arrogant. Uttering such provoking words in front of Zhan Chen, the most prestiged person of the Iron Fence, the man in purple robe was obviously making nothing of all the people of the Iron Fence. No wonder he dared to lead his subordinates to attack Iron Fence with great fanfare, which was out of great confidence and contempt towards the Iron Fence.

With that in mind, it was impossible for everyone to calm down.

“This guy is too arrogant. How dare he talk to the master like this?”

“Motherf*cker, are the five nobles big deal? If you are really capable, come out and have a fight.”

“How dare you say that master is only a gatekeeper? Do you think you are that noble? In our eyes, you are nothing but a lump of ‘shit’.”

“Tsk tsk, running to other people’s ‘home’ to yell with such an attitude. I really can’t see where the upbringing of the five nobles lie. After all, ‘beasts’ are ‘beasts’. Even if they are transformed into human shapes, they can’t change the essence of ‘beast’!”

A voice rang in the crowd, not loud but enough to be heard clearly by most people around him. After a short silence, a crowd on the wall burst out laughters.

The man in purple robe was acute in hearing. Naturally, he heard it. His cold gaze instantly shot towards the speaker on the wall. A powerful stream of momentum suddenly rose, and most of it directly charged towards that person. This was a complete display of anger. His strength was obviously a God stage. If the speaker was really hit by his momentum, it was likely that he would die on the spot.

Just as everyone started to shout in terror, another huge stream of momentum burst out from Zhan Chen’s body, which was not inferior to the first one at all.

The two forces collided in the air, and the terrible sense of oppression caused ripples in the space, which spread outwards from the center of the force collision, and a strong light dazzled everyone’s eyes. It lasted for about ten seconds before the light finally disappeared. It turned out that the two sides were evenly matched!

People with weak strength naturally couldn’t see it. Currently, Zhan Chen and the man in purple robe were indeed evenly matched, but in reality, both of them held back a bit. As no one of normal wit would show their full strength from the beginning.

“Hmph, the master of the Iron Fence is just like this,” the man in purple robe said coldly. He was as arrogant and scornful as always, with no trace of surprise showing on his face,

“The same to you.” said Zhan Chen calmly.

After all, Zhan Chen had lived for so long, and he couldn’t be so easily angered by that man. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been qualified to be the master of the warlike family. But the comer’s toughness was out of his expectation. Especially, there were the ten men in black and two weird men. As for the ten men in black, Zhan Chen could sense their strength. Although they weren’t the ocean beasts of the God stage, they were all high-level Exalt God fighters. To defeat them, a fierce fighting would be unavoidable.

However, what worried Zhan Chen most was the two people on the turtle’s back, who had abnormal behaviors. Their restrained aura made one unable to sense their strength at all, which made him slightly worried. If these two people’s strength were above him, today would be the inexorable doom of the Iron Fence. It was probable that only his father would be able to match them.

“Brat, you dare to insult the five nobles of the deep ocean. You’d better pray that you don’t fall into my hands.”

The man in purple robe looked at the previous speaker on the wall. His look was unusually cold, like the chilly feeling of an Ocean Serpent.

His words indirectly acknowledged his identity as one of the five great nobles in the deep ocean. He was so unscrupulous. It seemed that the five nobles really wanted to tear up their agreement with the guardian and to start to target at the God and Demon Kingdom.

“You’d better pray that you don’t lose too badly. Otherwise, the five nobles in the deep ocean will feel embarrassed for you, although I’ve always thought that ‘beasts’ actually don’t know what embarrassment is.”

To everyone’s surprise, the speaker came out of the crowd, who turned out to be Lin Yin, the only person that Feng Xi had made acquaintance and got along well with at Iron Fence. He not only dissed back the man in purple robe without fear, but also dissed him with more provocative words.

Hearing his words, the crowd laughed unanimously.

The louder they laughed, the sullener the man’s face grew. The killing intention in his eyes became very obvious. However, with Zhan Chen in presence, he could only use his gaze to “kill” Lin Yin. In his heart, he had long wanted to smash Lin Yin’s muscles and cut him into pieces.

There was no denying that Lin Yin was capable of provoking people.

“All ocean beasts take orders, attack the Iron Fence immediately!”

With the order of the man in purple robe, the group of ocean beasts outside the town immediately started to stir. Their bloody eyes were like they were in a frenzy, and all ran towards the wall desperately without hesitation. The deafening sound was so loud that as though it was about to shatter the wall. The soldiers of Iron Fence didn’t dare to take the enemy lightly. All of them immediately started to fight with solemn looks. The specially-made fire arrows were shot towards ocean beasts.

Seeing this scene, the man in purple robe snorted disdainfully and his eyes fell on the ten men in black on the back of the turtle. He said coldly, “All ten of you, go. If you can’t win, you don’t have to come back, understand?”

“Yes!”

The ten men responded uniformly, then flew over to the wall of Iron Fence. Although the aura around them was not as strong as that of Zhan Chen or the man in purple robe, they could not be underestimated. After all, all of them were ocean beasts in Saint Realm, the so-called the Exalt God of Human cultivators.

The five guest ministers recruited by warlike family and the strong men of the warlike family had long been waiting to fight. When they saw the ten men finally make a move, they immediately went forward, with each of them confronting a man in black, arraying in the air, and the booming sound was heard from time to time.

At this scene, the man in purple was not surprised. He squinted at Zhan Chen, who was standing calmly opposite him. The calmness of Zhan Chen made him a little upset, and he turned his gaze towards the two strong ones from the Nether Family.

“When will the two of you make a move?”

Though the man in purple spoke in a courteous tone, his look was still as arrogant as ever. As he looked towards the two, an imperceptible trace of disgust was revealed from his eyes. The Ocean World people hated humans, especially the five nobles in the deep ocean. If it wasn’t for the value of their strength, he wouldn’t have stood on ceremony with them.

With the help of these two people, not only could Zhan Chen be stopped, but the casualties of his men could be greatly reduced. Thus, these two were of some value.
