Universe's Ultimate BOSS

Chapter 422: Chapter 421: When the Tiger’s Away, the Monkey Calls himself King
 

President’s mansion.

In the treasure vault.

Yun Fan exclaimed urgently, “Hey, what are you guys doing taking all these things? We’re here to get the Inheritance Crystal, not to rob the rich to help the poor.”

Gu Yang stopped what he was doing, solemnly replying, “Our Young Marshal has said, ‘Wealth is the root of all evil. We must act on behalf of Heaven to eliminate sin, making the world a better place.'”

After saying that, the Young Marshal Army sped up again, sweeping the President’s mansion treasure vault of its treasures into the Dimension Space.

Yun Fan was dumbstruck, “Sure enough, like Marshal, like soldiers; I’m really convinced by their thick skins.”

“Senior brother, you shouldn’t wrong good people!” Bing Die glared at Yun Fan, slightly annoyed, “I’ve heard that the High Commander never gives the Young Marshal any military funds. He’s always had to scrape them together himself. Now this money can act as their military funds, and there’s nothing wrong with protecting our home and country.”

Yun Fan’s heart ached as he watched his little junior sister, who had always been meek and endearing before him, now reproaching him on behalf of outsiders.

Gu Yang couldn’t help shaking his head and held a three-minute silence in his heart for Yun Fan. It was clear this little junior sister would never fancy him.

After all, Wang Hao was now a national hero, one who didn’t care for personal reputation, scorned and misunderstood by the public.

When a justice-driven young girl like Bing Die found out the truth, how could she not be driven by her innate protective instincts?

And with Wang Hao’s naturally roguish attribute combined with his extraordinary literary talent, how could any young girl experiencing the first stirrings of love resist?

“Sigh, I hope that when the Young Marshal reveals his true self, Miss Bing Die won’t be too heartbroken,” Gu Yang sighed, and continued to stow the vault’s treasures into the Dimension Space.

Before long, the President’s mansion treasure vault had been utterly plundered by Gu Yang and the others.

They spared nothing, valuable or not, they packed it all and took it away.

“This Young Marshal is really… er, frugal,” Bing Die stuck out her tongue a little, unable to suppress a laugh. She was very curious to know what kind of expression the President would have upon discovering his treasure vault had been emptied.

“This isn’t being frugal, this is the monkey calling itself king when the tiger’s not at home,” Yun Fan shook his head, then turned to follow Gu Yang and the others, quickly leaving the President’s mansion, heading towards the Guan family’s location.

At this moment, the great battle between Wang Hao and Li Yunyang was still ongoing.

However, as time went on, both began to show signs of fatigue.

“Did you notice? Li Yunyang seems to be running out of steam.”

“That’s normal, after fighting for so long.”

“But have you guys noticed, Wang Hao seems to be hardly affected?”

“Have you forgotten? Back at the Sky Sword Villa, when Wang Hao was surrounded by three hundred thousand troops, he killed thousands of them.”

“That’s right, I heard Wang Hao became more vigorous the more he fought, forcing the major powers to compromise.”

“But why isn’t Wang Hao getting more vigorous as he fights now, instead showing signs of weariness?”

“I was there at the time; I saw Wang Hao could absorb the blood, maintaining his fighting power at its peak.”

“Absorb blood to restore energy? What kind of Cultivation Technique is that?”

“Who knows, but no one can stand against Wang Hao in a group fight.”

“Indeed, no one is his match in group fights, but the same goes for one-on-one combat.”

“Exactly, the Martial King endorsed by Heavenly Dao, but somehow he’s able to challenge those above his class and even fight on par with them—who would believe that if we told them?”

“Fight on par, my ass. Didn’t you see Li Yunyang is almost done for? While Wang Hao still looks full of energy.”

“So, continuing in this way, Wang Hao is bound to win, and Li Yunyang is bound to lose!”

“Is this freak even human?!”

“I can hardly imagine what kind of combat power Wang Hao will possess when he breaks through to Martial King!”

“Better not to think about such things, or you’ll lose sleep over it.”

“Ah, it’s truly tragic living in the same era as such a monster!”

“……”

Li Yunyang gasped for breath, his complexion terrifyingly grim; he simply couldn’t accept the fact that after being bestowed King by the Heavenly Dao and using the Inheritance Crystal, he still couldn’t defeat Wang Hao.

What he found even more unbearable was that Wang Hao was actually challenging him beyond his level.

At that moment, Qian Wanyang received a message that instantly changed his expression. He shouted at Wang Hao, “Boss, the latest news from Heavenly Demon Star, your father is still alive!!”

Wang Hao’s face changed and his brows knitted together as a red light burst forth from his body. He instantly appeared in front of Li Yunyang, and his great sword chopped down with an overwhelming momentum.

“How can this be? Why is his strength still increasing, and by more than double at that?!” Li Yunyang’s pupils contracted sharply. Without time to think further, he raised his sword to block.

“Boom…”

The next second, a thunderous explosion resounded. Li Yunyang was hit hard, sent flying tens of thousands of meters away, his vitality instantly withering, a clear sign of defeat.

At this moment, the world went silent, and everyone had the same thought—a resounding “What the hell?”

It turned out that Wang Hao had been holding back all along, merely toying with Li Yunyang. Wasn’t this blow too much?

“Let’s go,” Wang Hao said calmly and then swiftly walked toward the small spacecraft.

“Boss, wait for us!” Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao quickly caught up.

Guan Tian swallowed, a drop of sweat falling from his forehead; he felt something big was about to happen.

After all, ever since Wang Tianyi defeated Guan Yingjie for the Marshal position, the upper echelons of the Military Department had been eager to revoke his Marshal title.

But with the four principals backing him and their threats of drastically reducing the number of new recruits to the Military Department next year if they dared rescind the title, they had no choice but to leave Wang Tianyi in his position.

Until the emergence of Heavenly Demon Star offered them a glimmer of hope to get rid of Wang Tianyi.

Therefore, under the pretense of carrying out a mission, the Military Department had Wang Tianyi lead a hundred thousand soldiers to accomplish the task, which of course they completed with ease.

Unexpectedly, the Military leadership had already bribed the pilot, instructing him to steer into Heavenly Demon Star on their way past.

The plan progressed successfully, and from that point on, the Interstellar Federation saw no more of Wang Tianyi.

But who could have imagined that Wang Tianyi would survive on Heavenly Demon Star for eight years and was soon to make a kingly return?

One wonders, with the combined strength of father and son, Wang Hao and Wang Tianyi, how powerful their unleashed might would be! Could the Guan family really withstand it?

“This Wang father and son pair, why are they both so monstrous!” Guan Tian rubbed his temples, sending the news here to Guan Xinxiong.

At that time, Li Yunyang lay amidst the ruins, gazing at the departing spaceship of Wang Hao, his expression utterly vacant. He realized his life had been a failure; every time he confidently sought out Wang Hao for a challenge, reality harshly slapped him across the face.

“Master, your disciple finally understands how you felt when you lost to Wang Tianyi back then…” Li Yunyang mocked himself with a laugh. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment—and that feeling was truly unbearable.

At the same time, Li Yunyang decided to follow in the footsteps of his master, Guan Yingjie, and travel the Universe, in search of his own Martial Arts path…
