Hail the King

Chapter 703: Inside the Xuange

Fei witnessed this scene and didn’t know how he should react.

This scene was way too similar to another scene he witnessed a while back.

On the peak of Martial Saint Mountain, Martial Saint Krasic also turned into ashes, and his remains covered the vast territory of Zenit.

Although [One Sword] made a mistake on his path of cultivation and brought the war to Zenit, it was already the opening of the Chaos Era; Zenit was going to fall into wars and disorder in a matter of time.

[One Sword] was just unlucky and played a tragic role in the unfolding story.

In reality, Fei was actually a little sympathetic toward [One Sword]. This man was a genius who had a tragic ending.

During the Chaos Era, human lives were going to be worth as much as gra.s.ses, and heroes and geniuses were going to die regularly.

In fact, Fei was surprised by this Prince Xanchua of Ormond, and he even admired the latter’s performance in that desperate situation.

The continent was as pretty as a painting, and it gave birth to many heroes and geniuses.

The king dashed forward and drew in the air with his fingers. The golden sword energy instantly cut open the green energy sphere of the Xuan’ge.

After he landed on the deck, he waved his hand and called over [The Throne of Chaos].

"Let’s clear out the remaining soldiers of Ormond and gain control of this barge."

Under the lead of Old Aryang, Fei and Robbin quickly took care of the remaining enemies on the deck.

Then, they went to the entrance at the command center which was located by the mainsail, and they entered the inner cabin.

The inside of the Xuan’ge was very s.p.a.cious, and everything was organized well. The black walls that were made from ironwood looked metallic, and it was comparable to the powerful aircraft carriers that Fei had seen in his previous life. The only main difference was that the knowledge of the magic civilization powered this barge.

The three of them walked on the main path, and Fei and Robbin eliminated the rest of the defending soldiers of Ormond.

There were all kinds of complicated offensive and defensive magic arrays inside the Xuan’ge, and it was clear that magic array masters made them.

On top of magic arrays, there were many mechanisms, thick iron gates, and traps, designed to make the enemies of Ormond have a hard time moving forward.

It was clear that when the Xuan’ge was being built, the creators already considered the possibility of enemies getting inside the barge.

By having these designs here, it was much easier for well-trained soldiers and operators of the barge to defeat the enemies in this closed-s.p.a.ce.

Unfortunately, the enemy of Ormond this time was a monster like Fei.

His understanding of magic arrays already reached a high level. With his spirit energy spread out, he could quickly figure out the magic theories and designs of the arrays. Since he could solidify his spirit energy and turned it into tangible items, Fei only needed to destroy the cores of the magic arrays, and that would put out the arrays in a few seconds.

On top of this, he also had the brute force to destroy anything under Sun-Cla.s.s.

With [One Sword] who was in command of this Xuan’ge waking up and betraying Ormond, Prince Xanchua miscalculating the battle and dying under [One Sword]’s attack, and General Peith severely injured and disappearing, the soldiers of Ormond lost all top-level commanders, and they fell into a state of chaos. They couldn’t organize themselves properly and defend, allowing Fei to easily get into the control station of the Xuan’ge under Old Aryang’s instructions.

"Huh?" After getting to the deepest part of the Xuan’ge, Fei was surprised by what he saw, and he paused his steps.

Near the gate of the control station of the Xuan’ge, there were about 100 strong men crowded there. They were all in ragged clothes, had scars on their faces, and were chained around their wrists and ankles. However, they looked ferocious and murderous.

Beside them, there were the corpses of some soldiers of Ormond. It was clear that they were just killed since their wounds were still fresh, and the blood was flowing on the floor.

"Who are they? How come they killed the soldiers of Ormond and gathered here?" Fei thought.

While Fei was confused, Old Aryang patted his forehead and thought of something.

He got close to the king and whispered, "They are the ship slaves on the Xuan’ge. Most of them are vicious warriors who committed hideous crimes, captives from wars, and gladiators who survived in the Colosseum. They would be locked up at the bottom of the Xuan’ge, and they are a.s.signed dirty and dangerous tasks. They rarely get to see the sun. Since most of them are murderous, they took the chance and killed the soldiers who were in charge of them, gaining control of the control station."

"Ship slaves?" Fei nodded.

These people had indescribably wild auras on them, and they were more like beasts that were brought up in the wilderness instead of humans. Perhaps since they hadn’t seen the Sun for a long time, strange lights appeared in their eyes, and their pupils looked different. Their eyes looked similar to cats’, and their pupil would change sizes more drastically when the strength of lights changed.

These ship slaves were all in different shapes and sizes, and they didn’t look friendly at all. The only positive about being at the bottom of the Xuan’ge for a long time was that their skins were all smooth and white.

These people weren’t that strong. Most of them were One-Star to Two-Star, and the most powerful person among them was only a Five-Star Warrior. It looked like he was the leader of the ship slaves.

Old Aryang whispered a bit more things into Fei’s ear, and the king’s expression changed color. He instantly walked toward the control station.

Seeing this, the ship slaves instantly roared like angry beasts, and they surrounded the three people with vicious lights in their eyes. They were planning to stop Fei from entering the control station.

"Back off!" Fei roared with his voice that was empowered by his terrifying strength, and the sound waves. .h.i.t the ship slaves who were closest to him, making them puke up blood and stagger.

The rest of the ship slaves couldn’t even move forward. They all backed to two sides with terrified expressions on their faces.

A few of them tried to act tough and fight back, but the huge pressure that was coming from Fei felt like giant mountains. These ship slaves all felt like they were carrying giant mountains on their backs, and their bones cracked loudly.

In the end, all of them collapsed on the ground, and they couldn’t even raise their heads, let alone fighting back.

The gate to the control station was tightly closed, and dashes of green magic energy flames covered it.

Robbin struck the gate several times and couldn’t open it.

Fei stepped up and placed his palm on the gate.

Crack!

The golden energy flames flashed by, and this st.u.r.dy gate made from ironwood was instantly opened.

A series of gasps sounded from the control station.

Before Fei could stand still after he stepped in, a dash of knife energy flew toward his face.

Someone took this opportunity to sneak-attack him.

Afraid that continued battle would damage the delicate and sensitive controls in here, Fei unleashed his full strength. He dashed around the control station in a flash, and all the enemies, including the person who was attacking him, all roared and screamed.

Since the difference in power was too great, the six to seven officials of Ormond and about a dozen ship slaves who were facing off were all struck to the ground by Fei’s finger strikes.
