Chapter 2045 - 2013: The Deterrent Power of the Nether King Group

"Listen up, everyone on the ship, we’re just here for some money. We’re all trying to make a living, so if we can resolve this peacefully, no one has to trouble anyone else!"

Hearing this shout from outside, even Li Chen was a bit confused.

What confused Li Chen even more was that the person had shouted this in three or four different languages!

Of course, the languages the person shouted in did not include Huaxia.

"These pirates must have something wrong with their heads," many people on the ship expressed their opinion this way.

"Maybe it’s because they don’t understand Huaxia language."

"Not even asking questions is scary," someone concluded at last.

Pirates?

That’s nothing, daring to rob the Nether King Group, they must either have a broken brain or be stupid. Looking at these pirates, they must have spent too long in the sea, water got into their brains.

There aren’t many in the world who dare offend the Nether King Group, let alone a bunch of pirates!

The passengers weren’t very worried about the arrival of the pirates. Although they followed instructions to stay in their rooms, they all peeked out the windows, looking amusedly out at the scene.

They were also curious to see what expression these pirates would have once they discovered they were robbing the Nether King Group.

At this time, Ying Xiaoxiao also stopped her training, squatting to the side, dripping with sweat, drinking water.

"Aren’t you worried at all?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask, after all, having been away for so many years, he didn’t understand the current situation of Earth at all.

"Worried about what? This is the Nether King Group’s cruise ship. I say, little teacher, with your vast experience, don’t you even know how powerful the Nether King Group is?" Ying Xiaoxiao said weakly.

"The Nether King Group is very powerful? Then why do these pirates dare to rob it?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"Ignorance, maybe. They don’t know this is the Nether King Group’s cruise ship."

"Wouldn’t it be easier to avoid trouble if they just raised a flag with the Nether King Group’s emblem on it?" Li Chen touched his chin and said.

Upon hearing this, Ying Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Li Chen: "Raise a flag? Little brother, are you living in ancient times? This is a cruise ship, where would the sails be?"

Li Chen was taken aback by the words, then reacted, unable to suppress a bitter smile.

He was just used to it and forgot where he was.

The pirates made a commotion for a while, then the captain came out. After a brief negotiation, the group of pirates was indeed dumbfounded. Even though they lived in such a ghostly place, they had heard of the Nether King Group. This colossal entity, where could a bunch of pirates afford to provoke it?

They might have dozens of lives and dozens of guns, but the Nether King Group had the terrifying presence of many Martial Artists. Without needing to send others, just a few Martial Artists on the ship could make them kneel.

In the end, the group of pirates fled without making any farting sound.

And when they left, they did their utmost to memorize the emblem on the cruise ship.

"Damn, this is the Nether King Group, brothers, if you see this emblem again just run as far as you can!" a Pirate Leader shouted to his subordinates.

The pirates indeed negotiated with the cruise, in the past, they wouldn’t have bothered with so much. They would have just barged onto the ship to negotiate.

But this time was different, before they could even board the ship, a long spear fell from the sky, smashing their speedboat into pieces, leaving the people on the speedboat sinking straight to the bottom of the sea without a chance for rescue.

Otherwise, would a group of pirates still be so gentle in negotiating?

Upon realizing whom they had attempted to rob, the group of pirates fled even faster.

At this time, the cruise ship lifted its alert, and the tourists began freely moving around again.

"You train yourself." After keeping an eye on Ying Xiaoxiao for days, this girl finally showed some initiative, so Li Chen no longer kept such a close eye on her and planned to take a walk.

In fact, during these days, he wasn’t just watching Ying Xiaoxiao, more often, Li Chen was contemplating the lock inside his body.

When he could unlock that lock, it would mean his cultivation could be fully restored.

Interestingly enough, Li Chen found that the lock inside his body was also weakening continuously, according to the timeline, Li Chen estimated that it would take... two thousand seven hundred years for the lock to be completely lifted!!

But the problem is, all of Li Chen’s cultivation foundation and such things are locked. For others, if they can’t unlock the lock themselves, without any cultivation support, how could they live that long?

Of course, Li Chen’s body refining realm is the Indestructible Body, relying on the Indestructible Body to last over two thousand years shouldn’t be a problem either.

But... who knows what things would be like after two thousand years?

Li Chen began to have some doubts.

His doubts weren’t about anything else but certain legends of Earth.

In those legends, some powerful foreign races were said to have appeared on Earth, powerful beings that humanity’s sages barely managed to kill, which also gave birth to some legendary heroes.

But... in a place like Earth, at most, you might only reach the Earth Level, and some powerful foreign creatures, like the Dragon Clan, might be born with Heavenly Level strength, how could a group of Earth Level beings possibly kill them?

Even if a Heavenly Level expert stood still, you wouldn’t be able to hurt them!

"Could it be, some of the guys who were killed in those legends were those who came down from the Spirit Releasing Abyss?" Li Chen clicked his tongue.

To die like that... must’ve been really frustrating.

When you’re a Domain Spirit Realm expert or a powerful Dragon Clan, killing Mid-Heaven Realm, Envy Heaven Realm, and Heaven Following Realm folks is as simple as chopping vegetables, but finally, because your cultivation foundation was all locked, you got stabbed to death by a bunch of Earth-level beings wielding butcher knives, how frustrating must it have been before dying?

Most importantly, those knives that stabbed you to death were revered by later generations as the legendary Dragon-Slaying Saber.

"Truly unfortunate." Li Chen clicked his tongue and finally reached this conclusion.

"Luckily, I’m from the Human Race." Finally, Li Chen looked outside: "Luckily, this is a civilized era."

On reaching the deck, Li Chen leaned against the railing, enjoying the sea breeze, relishing the rare moment of tranquility.

"It’s really nice here," Li Chen said softly.

After all, this is Earth, although perhaps lacking dense spiritual energy and the laws aren’t entirely complete, not even allowing cultivation to break through to Heavenly Level, it’s just a remote minor world.

But here, there aren’t the bloody storms of the Four Great Realms, there’s not so much brutal and bloody survival of the fittest.

More importantly, here is his home.

"Of course, the scenery here is good! What, is this your first time on a cruise?" As Li Chen was contemplating, a voice filled with challenge came from behind.
