Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao was astonished. He looked more closely and found that the person seemed unharmed, with no trace of Ghost Qi on them. However, he was certain they must have been possessed by something.

Chu Hao said, ”Stay close to me and don’t stray too far. This place is very dangerous.”

Su Muyue asked warily, ”What did you see?”

”The dead came back to life.”

Su Muyue shivered.

Meanwhile, the survivor who had landed on the tree was shocked by its immense size. They estimated its diameter to be about fifty meters. As for its height, it was impossible to discern; the pervasive darkness obscured any view of the ground.

”HEE HEE...”

In the darkness, a strange giggle echoed, making everyone shudder. It was as if someone was sitting in a corner of the tree, their eyes fixed on them.

An irrepressible fear welled up inside them. They dreaded that a ghastly pale face would appear at any moment.

Chu Hao patted Su Muyue’s shoulder and said, ”Don’t move around recklessly.”

With that, he leaped away, vanishing into the darkness.

Honestly, I’m finding it harder and harder to get a clear read on Chu Hao, Su Muyue thought. Does he really understand this place? Were those earlier traps deliberately triggered by him? This guy is just too mysterious.

If Chu Hao knew what Su Muyue was thinking, he would definitely be puzzled. Triggering traps was absolutely not intentional on his part.

Yan Chen and Yan Furong landed on the tree. Their impressive agility had allowed them to evade the pursuit of the Ghost Generals and Soldiers.

Yan Chen muttered, ”This place is quite nice, perfect for taking out that kid.”

In the pitch-black darkness, Yan Furong responded with a slight smile, ”First you have to find him.”

The corners of Yan Chen’s mouth curled slightly as he said, ”I’ll make sure that kid understands what it means to offend me, Yan Chen.”

The words had barely left his mouth.

”BANG!”

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the darkness, punching a bloody hole in Yan Chen’s left shoulder. The bullet’s force shattered bone, and he let out a low groan of pain.

”Who is it!”

Yan Furong was also startled. The sudden gunshot was particularly terrifying in the darkness.

Another shot followed, but it went astray, narrowly missing Yan Chen.

Yan Furong held up a flashlight and located the shooter. When Yan Chen caught a glimpse of Chu Hao, his face twisted in rage as he roared wildly, ”Chu Hao!!”

Clutching a Desert Eagle, Chu Hao commented drily, ”My shooting skills... I’m speechless.”

He had fired twice, missing his opponent’s head both times. The second shot had missed completely.

Chu Hao glared at Yan Chen with a cold smile and taunted, ”You Shamate non-mainstreamer! You managed to escape last time. Now, let’s see how Brother Hao deals with you.”

”Ding! Host has acted pretentiously with contempt. Awarded 700 Pretentiousness Points.”

Yan Chen was furious and apprehensive. His left hand was so severely injured he couldn’t raise it, rendering him unable to even form seals with his right hand.

Chu Hao pursued him, closing the distance with incredible speed. Yan Furong exclaimed, ”He’s so fast!”

No kidding! Chu Hao’s vision in the dark was as clear as daylight. Moreover, he was a top-tier Inner Strength master and proficient in Qinggong, so his speed was naturally exceptional.

Terrified, Yan Chen—one hand already useless and unable to employ Mystical Arts—pulled out a gun and fired wildly at Chu Hao.

”BANG! BANG! BANG!”

It had to be said that Yan Chen’s shooting skills were leagues better than Chu Hao’s. Every shot was cunningly aimed.

Chu Hao dodged, transforming the Night Demon Blade into the Night Demon Umbrella to block the incoming bullets, then charged forward.

When he was a meter away from Yan Chen, the Night Demon Umbrella morphed back into the Night Demon Blade. With a slash, blood spattered. Yan Chen screamed as his gun-holding hand was severed.

Chu Hao looked at him with disdain and said, ”Well, aren’t you going to keep running?”

Cold sweat poured down Yan Chen’s back as he felt the chilling fear of death.

He had thought that this encounter with Chu Hao would definitely see the latter trapped in the tomb. He had lost—thoroughly and utterly.

Beside him, Yan Furong shouted, ”Ghost Phantoms!”

The jade bracelet on her wrist shattered, and at least a dozen Ghost Shadows pounced towards Chu Hao.

Chu Hao threw a punch. Its overbearing and fierce power blasted one Ghost Phantom into dust.

With Chu Hao’s current potent Yang energy, how could ordinary ghosts possibly be a match for him?

”Ding! Killed a Ghost Phantom. Gained 50,000 Experience Points.”

These Ghost Phantoms weren’t primarily for attack; their method was bewitchment, transforming into the images of women from Chu Hao’s memories.

Diao Chan, Luo Yan, Yi Qinglian, Mu Yufei—a parade of stunning beauties from his memories.

Especially those he was familiar with, all in skimpy clothes, their straight long legs, deep cleavages, and curvaceous figures. Each inch of their skin glowed brilliantly.

Chu Hao was instantly dumbfounded.

”HOLY SHIT!! A Seduction Technique!”

Chu Hao was immediately ’poisoned’.

Mu Yufei, wearing a bikini, bent over and beckoned to him with a seductive finger.

”Chu Hao, come to your big sister.”

Chu Hao’s face turned red, his heart pounded fiercely. He almost rushed over to have a good time with the ladies.

System: ”Scorn for the Host.”

Hearing the System speak, Chu Hao’s mind cleared considerably. He cursed, ”Damn you! Daring to seduce this Taoist Master? My mind harbors sages! How could I be seduced by such tricks?”

Even as he said it, he didn’t believe himself.

Even knowing it wasn’t real, Chu Hao couldn’t bring himself to strike. This dreamlike scene was exactly what he yearned for day and night.

It was as if the Ghost Phantoms had perfectly portrayed his innermost desires.

With one slash, the Ghost Phantom in Mu Yufei’s form screamed miserably and was instantly annihilated, turning to ash.

”Ding! Killed a Ghost Phantom. Gained 50,000 Experience Points.”

”Kill!”

”Ding! Killed a Ghost Phantom. Gained 50,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding! A Ghost Phantom dropped an item. It has been added to your inventory.”

After killing all the Ghost Phantoms, Chu Hao realized Yan Furong had fled with Yan Chen. He scanned the area, but they had already vanished.

Opening his inventory, he found an item dropped by a Ghost Phantom: a Ghost Phantom Paper Doll.

Item: Ghost Phantom Paper Doll

Rarity: ★

Ability: Releases a swarm of Ghost Phantoms, which disappear after 24 hours (one-time use).

This item might not seem like much, as the Ghost Phantoms don’t attack. However, they are skilled in deadly Illusion Techniques. For those with lustful hearts, it’s an incredibly potent weapon. Chu Hao had experienced its power firsthand just moments ago.

My first thought isn’t to use this on others, Chu Hao mused. But for those lonely nights, all by myself... It would be more visually stimulating than watching a movie. Just thinking about it is thrilling!

He quickly suppressed those ’loser’ thoughts, remaining cautious to the core.

Yan Chen’s face was contorted with pain. Both of his arms were ruined, and his complexion was as pale as paper.

Yan Chen’s eyes were fiercely malicious as he gritted out, word by word, ”I must have my revenge.”

This was Yan Furong’s first direct encounter with Chu Hao. His horrifying capabilities were beyond her imagination. If she hadn’t managed to delay him with the Ghost Phantoms, both she and Yan Chen might truly be dead by now. The very thought made her hair stand on end.

Yan Chen said, ”I want to practice the Corpse Devil Technique.”
