Universe's Ultimate BOSS

Chapter 298: Chapter 297 I Wasn’t Psychologically Prepared (Five More)

“F*ck, not again!” the noble offspring exclaimed in terror, hastily activating his Energy Shield without a second thought.

“Boom!” The next second, a deafening roar shook the earth once more.

When the scorching wave of heat swept across the land again and all became quiet, it was clear that the Energy Shields of these noble offspring had visibly dimmed.

“I think a fair compensation for medical expenses would be 100 billion interstellar coins,” Wang Hao said as he pulled out another Level 4 grenade.

Guan Shi and the others went completely pale; this was sheer extortion.

Yet, they had no room to resist. If they didn’t pay up, a couple more Level 4 grenades would render them defenseless.

Once Wang Hao collected the money, Guan Shi and the noble offspring scrambled to their spaceship as if they’d received a royal pardon, no longer wanting to deal with this demonic Marshal for a single moment longer.

Although notorious for their spoiled behavior, they weren’t nearly as ruthless as Wang Hao; they wouldn’t dare throw grenades at so many of their peers.

But not only had Wang Hao thrown one, he’d hurled three—and had they not paid up, who knows if he would have continued.

“Boss, why did you only extort 100 billion interstellar coins?” Chen Yao asked, puzzled. To his understanding, Wang Hao was supposed to be the kind who would bleed them dry.

Wang Hao chuckled. “If I hit them too hard all at once, they’d run away at the sight of me in the future, wouldn’t I be at a loss then?”

Chen Yao suddenly nodded in enlightenment. It was a slow boil, slicing them bit by bit, letting these prodigal sons feel the pain but not too much of it.

Just then, Xue Qianqin hurried over. “Wang Hao, we need to get going, the Ancient Ruins have opened up ahead of schedule.”

“They’ve opened early?” Wang Hao was stunned.

“I’ll explain on the way.” Xue Qianqin said as she pulled Wang Hao along and waved at Shi Xiong, Mu Xin, and the others, signaling them to quickly follow.

Holding onto Xue Qianqin’s small hand, Wang Hao couldn’t resist teasing her: “Qian Qin, my darling, you’re playing hard to get and yet taking the initiative. Hubby here wasn’t prepared for it!”

Xue Qianqin’s face flushed as she tried to withdraw her hand, but Wang Hao kept a firm hold on her.

Failing to free her hand, Xue Qianqin turned to glare at Wang Hao and explained: “My master sent a message. The Ancient Ruins opened early because the President’s mansion has figured out how to open them. People from the President’s mansion have already gone in. If we don’t hurry, there’ll be nothing left for us.” @@novelbin@@

“The President’s Mansion!” Wang Hao’s brow furrowed. “Did senior brother go in too?”

Xue Qianqin nodded. “Ling Xiao is a key figure being fostered by the President’s mansion, so he’s included in this exploration. And the President’s mansion has sent a total of 500 people.”

“500 people!” Wang Hao exclaimed. Out of a total of a thousand who could enter, the President’s mansion had taken up half. That advantage was way too evident.

“So we have to take your Light Dragon Spaceship there,” Xue Qianqin said as she led Wang Hao on board the Light Dragon Spaceship.

Pointing to his own cheek, Wang Hao said with a smile, “Just give me a kiss here, and I’ll take the Space Gem out.”

“You…you lecher!” Xue Qianqin stomped her foot, her face red with anger.

Shi Xiong, Mu Xin, and the other twenty Martial Kings busied themselves with their own matters, not daring to offend either of them, opting instead for out of sight, out of mind.

“If you don’t want to kiss, that’s fine. We can just have Lingling slowly navigate through the universe!” Wang Hao said nonchalantly with a shrug.

Xue Qianqin took a deep breath and quickly pecked Wang Hao on the cheek and huffily said, “Can you take it out now?”

Pleased, Wang Hao nodded and took the Space Gem into the cockpit.

Xue Qianqin covered her flushed face, stomping her feet and muttering, “Damn big pervert, damn big pervert…”

Before long, after a series of space jumps, the Light Dragon Spaceship arrived at a Level 4 planet called Bota Star.

When the spaceship landed and Wang Hao and his team stepped out of the Light Dragon Spaceship, they saw a huge black mirror on the ground ahead, surrounded by some strange stone mountains, covered with densely packed symbols that they had never seen before.

“Let’s go in!” Xue Qianqin took a deep breath, took the lead by jumping onto the surface of the black mirror, and then her whole body disappeared as if she had plunged into water.

Shi Xiong, Mu Xin, and the others didn’t hesitate and quickly followed suit by jumping down.

“You’re coming with us too.” Wang Hao took Lingling’s small hand and then, with a wave of his hand, stowed away the Light Dragon Spaceship.

“I’m going too!?” Lingling tilted her head and asked.

Wang Hao nodded, and then, pulling Lingling along, he jumped down directly.

Upon entering the black mirror, Wang Hao’s vision turned pitch black in an instant, and his whole body started spinning tumultuously.

After a while, when his vision cleared, he saw that they were in a vast forest with a sky, earth, and the sun, moon, and stars.

“Where is this place!?” Lingling activated her smart bracelet to scan everything around, but she couldn’t find any relevant data.

“This is an Ancient ruin,” Xue Qianqin came over and explained: “Ancient ruins exist in their own space, and currently, humankind simply cannot explain how they were constructed.”

Wang Hao instructed, “Lingling, go check it out.”

Lingling nodded, pushed off the ground with her little feet, and flew into the distance.

“ROAR!!”

Just then, a deafening roar reached them, and immediately everyone saw a massive gorilla-like creature pounce towards them like a cannonball.

“There are demon beasts here, too!?” Wang Hao said in surprise.

Xue Qianqin watched the gorilla demon beast warily, “Since this place forms its own space, what’s so strange about demon beasts breeding and living here?”

“This demon beast has the strength of a Martial King; let’s all attack together!”

Shi Xiong and Mu Xin struck from the left and the right, while the other eighteen Martial Kings also moved in an orderly fashion towards the gorilla demon beast.

“ROAR!”

The gorilla demon beast roared loudly, slammed its foot on the ground, and then lunged towards Shi Xiong and Mu Xin with lightning speed.

At the same time, it opened its huge gaping mouth and roared, its cry echoing like the boom of a Thunder Dragon, stirring the air violently.

“Not good, dodge quickly!”

Their eardrums vibrated painfully, and their faces changed drastically. This gorilla demon beast was stronger than they had expected, it was at least at Level 8 of the Martial King.

Now with their twenty Martial Artists at the Second-level, facing it was practically tantamount to seeking death.

“CRACK CRACK!”

The gorilla demon beast’s massive and sharp claws tore through the air, striking a large tree which turned immediately into powder as wood chips flew everywhere.

“Can you handle this gorilla demon beast?” Xue Qianqin looked at Wang Hao with hopeful eyes.

Wang Hao rolled his eyes and said grumpily, “Qian Qin, my little darling, although your husband is very brave, I am but a Second-level Martial Arts Sect, do you think I can really defeat a Level 8 Martial King demon beast even if I were to challenge beyond my level?”

Xue Qianqin’s face turned red with embarrassment as she glared at Wang Hao. This jerk was always looking to take advantage of her, a real scoundrel!

It was then that a grinding, cold voice filled with hatred sounded from behind, “Wang Hao!!”

Xue Qianqin turned her head to look and saw Li Yunyang gazing at Wang Hao with eyes full of hate.

The corner of Wang Hao’s mouth quirked up, “I’ve suddenly found that dealing with this Level 8 Martial King gorilla demon beast might not be as difficult as it seems.”

Xue Qianqin rubbed her temples with a headache-filled expression. She had a strong premonition that this big bad guy was about to use some kind of underhanded tactic to screw over Li Yunyang…
