Sha Luo's heart skipped a beat, and he vaguely sensed something ominous.
Harold's brows furrowed tightly as his sharp gaze swept toward the palace below.
Boom!
An aura far more terrifying than Harold and Sha Luo combined suddenly erupted from the palace!
"Hahaha!"
Amid hearty laughter, a short figure radiating astonishing might shot into the sky from the palace and instantly appeared beside Wang Yu.
The newcomer wore silver-white armor and stood just over a meter tall, yet as he stood there, he seemed to be the center of heaven and earth itself!
The two men's expressions changed drastically in an instant!
"Y-Yoda!?" Harold's eyes widened in shock.
As desperadoes, they naturally had to be familiar with information on the various powerhouses.
With such majesty and such an appearance, he recognized him at a glance. This was undoubtedly the Giant Axe Warrior, Yoda!
Yoda's gaze swept across the two attackers.
He directly ignored Sha Luo. A mere Third-Order Universe Level was not worth mentioning here.
Harold, Universe-level 7th Order, Domain Seventh Layer—only he was worth a glance.
But he was no problem either. With Wang Yu and himself joining forces, someone of that strength would not even have a chance to escape!
"You're Blood Fang's vice captain?" Yoda smiled.
"A bounty of one hundred million Universe Coin—not bad. Since you delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll gladly accept it!"
Harold shot a furious glare at the stunned Sha Luo.
This useless bastard! He said this kid hadn't noticed anything, that Yoda had merely given the kid a few pointers!
What was happening before his eyes proved that everything had been wrong!
Not only had this kid noticed, he had even invited Yoda here to guard him!
They actually had such a relationship!
This useless bastard had gotten him killed!
The more Harold thought about it, the angrier he became. Yet he forced a smile onto his face and spoke politely. "So Lord Yoda is here. My apologies, my apologies! I was too presumptuous to disturb you today. I'll take my people and leave immediately. We will never return!"
"Hehe." Yoda smiled calmly.
"You come when you please and leave when you please. Do you think that's possible?"
Harold's expression changed instantly!
He knew Yoda was the Giant Axe Warrior and immensely powerful, but he was no weakling himself. Even if he could not win, he believed it would not be easy for Yoda to capture him.
He had originally thought that if he honestly withdrew, the other side would let the matter go.
But Yoda's attitude clearly showed that he had no intention of settling this peacefully!
"Yoda! I'm giving you face, so don't think I'm actually afraid of you!" Harold's eyes turned fierce as he suddenly roared:
"Moyun!"
Boom!
The Moyun Vine hidden on his body suddenly extended outward, thick dark-green vines winding around one another in layer after layer!
The vines rapidly intertwined across Harold's body, instantly forming a savage vine battle armor that covered him from head to toe!
With the Moyun Battle Armor equipped, Harold's aura grew even stronger!
"Oh? You even raised a Moyun Vine? But a Second-Order Universe Level one with only forty-eight vines—how useful could it be?" Yoda watched leisurely, completely unconcerned.
The Moyun Vine was indeed a powerful plant lifeform, but having only forty-eight vines at the Universe-level meant this guy did not have much money and had raised it to a merely passable level.
Such a Second-Order Universe Level Moyun Vine had combat power comparable to an ordinary Third-Order Universe Level human. Even if it transformed into battle armor and devoted all its power to defense, it would at most possess the defense of a Universe-level 4th Order.
Even if its vitality was stronger and it was not so easy to kill, it would still take him no more than three strikes.
Wang Yu was equally calm. Though he was somewhat surprised that this man possessed a Universe-level Moyun Vine, he also knew that an ordinarily cultivated Moyun Vine could not be all that strong.
In the current situation, it was merely one more thing to kill.
The instant Harold activated the Moyun Battle Armor, he shot toward the distant D4-class Universe Spaceship!
He had never intended to fight at all. He had no chance against Yoda. What he wanted was to escape!
As long as he entered the spaceship, even a powerhouse like Yoda would absolutely be unable to break through the D4-class spaceship's defenses!
"Trying to run?" Yoda sneered.
Buzz!
An invisible force instantly enveloped Harold!
The entire space seemed to be dragged into absolute darkness. All light vanished, leaving behind nothing but pure darkness!
Light Domain, Ninth Layer!
Within that dark space, Harold felt as though he had fallen into a swamp, his movements becoming incomparably sluggish!
"Damn it!" Harold gritted his teeth and roared as dazzling golden light erupted from his body!
Golden Domain, Seventh Layer!
The golden radiance struggled to carve out a small space within the Dark Domain, but it only spread less than ten meters, and the light was constantly being eroded and devoured by the darkness!
The gap between the seventh and ninth layers of a domain was simply too great!
Harold clenched his teeth and desperately activated his force, inching toward the spaceship while resisting the suppression of the Dark Domain!
That D4-class Universe Spaceship was only a few hundred meters away. Under normal circumstances, he could have reached it in an instant, but now it seemed to lie an endlessly distant stretch away!
"You can't escape!" Mentor Yoda flashed forward and charged straight at Harold.
At some point, a massive sword nearly two meters long—almost twice his height—had appeared in his hands.
"Slash!" Mentor Yoda gripped the sword with both hands and brought it down fiercely!
There was nothing flashy about this strike. It was pure strength and speed, yet in the hands of a Universe-level 9th Order powerhouse, it carried terrifying might!
Harold's expression changed drastically, and he could only hurriedly raise his blade to block!
Clang!
Harold was sent flying backward by the blow!
Yet Mentor Yoda's domain followed him like a shadow, constantly enveloping him!
"Again!" Mentor Yoda pressed his advantage and pursued him!
"Aaargh!" Harold desperately erupted with power to resist.
The battle between two Universe-level powerhouses shook the heavens, causing the entire War God Star to tremble!
However, Mentor Yoda was far stronger than Harold. Under his suppression, no power leaked outward, protecting the countless weaker beings on the planet.
On the other side, Wang Yu moved as well.
With a flash, he appeared before Sha Luo.
"L-Lord Wang Yu..." Sha Luo's face was pale, and even his voice trembled.
He had never imagined things would turn out like this!
Yoda was actually here! And from the look of things, he clearly intended to leave none of them alive!
"It's a misunderstanding... It's all a misunderstanding..." Sha Luo forced an ingratiating smile.
"My lord, we can reconcile..."
"Enough. I understand." Wang Yu smiled and swung the battle saber in his hand.
Wang Yu's smile was gentle, as though he were chatting casually with a friend.
Yet the battle saber in his hand silently arrived before Sha Luo.
Unlike the terrifying momentum on the other side, this strike was neither domineering nor astonishing. It appeared soundless and unremarkable, yet its edge flowed like water, filled with a natural, effortless grace.
The saber's momentum was like water, penetrating every opening and seeking every gap. Sha Luo's meager strength was no different from having no defense at all before the Origin Laws.
The blade swept past, and Sha Luo's head fell away. His headless body then dropped from the sky as well.
A Third-Order Universe Level could be considered a powerhouse in a low-level nation.
But against a strike that had crossed the threshold of the Origin Laws, he had no power to resist. He did not even have time to react before he died!
Wang Yu did not even glance at the falling corpse. He was merely an ordinary Third-Order Universe Level, someone who could be casually slain. This man had only been dealt with along the way.
Taking out Blood Fang's vice captain was the real small objective this time.
Wang Yu flew toward the stunned Blood Fang space pirates, who had yet to react. He merely passed by them, and the several hundred Ninth-Order Star Level pirates all exploded into a vast cloud of blood mist.
At the same time, he transmitted his voice through force to everyone on the ground. "Attack!"
"Yes, Teacher!" Tian Shi took out the B-grade laser gun Wang Yu had given him for protection and aimed it at the ten thousand Planetary-level space pirates in the sky.
Boom!
A beam shooting into the heavens completely engulfed more than ten space pirates!
[Elite Citizen "Tian Shi" killed 15 powerful enemies above his level, reward: 150 Origin Energy]
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After Tian Shi, beam after beam of laser fire blasted into the sky!
Every laser beam killed at least a dozen Blood Fang space pirates.
"Attack!"
"Kill all those space pirates!"
Several Star-level guards directed Planetary-level citizens to fire the laser guns.
Wang Yu had long been wary of a possible space pirate attack, so he had selected some Planetary-level citizens and briefly trained them to use laser guns.
They were all B-grade laser guns. Those space pirates did not even possess proper force battle armor, only trash-like A-grade alloy armor. Facing laser fire powerful enough to kill Star-level fighters, they were instantly reduced to dust along with their armor.
These weak citizens were not needed to kill enemies. This was mainly a test to see whether killing enemies counted as an "achievement" recognized by the system.
The result was quite good. Killing enemies indeed counted as an achievement.
After only watching for a while, the system sent several messages. Only killing enemies above one's level was recognized as an achievement. If Star-level fighters killed Planetary-level enemies, there would be no reward at all.
The rewards were quite substantial as well. When Tian Shi and the others killed those Ninth-Order Planetary Level Blood Fang space pirates above their level, each kill was worth 10 Universe Coin, ten times the reward for breaking through to the Planetary-level.
A Ninth-Order Planetary Level martial artist slave cost roughly thirty thousand White Dragon Coins. The reward for killing one could buy two thousand of them!
Although the Planetary-level rewards were still small, the important thing was that this test had produced a result. As long as the citizens' strength rose, the future rewards would naturally become far more generous.
