Ghost Catching System

Shattered?

No. The silver Bone Sword, slim as a fish gut, pierced through the demon-slaying runes. They were breached so easily. The power of the Bone Sword punctured Haoli’s fist like a bullet.

SQUELCH!

He screamed as his entire arm was penetrated, blood splattering everywhere.

”Not good!” The Soul Hooking Master elder’s face changed dramatically.

Ouyang Lan rushed forward, shouting, ”Haoli, duck!”

A talismanic dagger appeared in her hand, a specially made weapon. She threw three daggers, and they flew like knives.

The Heavenly Bone Woman didn’t dodge at all. She extended a delicate finger and, with a light flick, deflected all three daggers.

The three of them were stunned. What sort of creature is this Heavenly Bone Woman?

BOOM!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Haoli punched fiercely at the Heavenly Bone Woman’s forehead, sending her flying thirty-four meters. Haoli was fully confident in his punch, believing she was unlikely to survive.

Haoli squatted on the ground, gasping heavily. He winced in pain as he pulled out the Bone Sword, asking, ”Is it over?”

However, the three of them watched as the Heavenly Bone Woman slowly stood up. The skin on her temple was split open to her ear, her face twisted into a gruesome expression. It revealed a metallic silver skeleton beneath, yet she was not dead!

”What kind of monster is this?” Ouyang Lan exclaimed.

In terms of combat power, no one could withstand a punch from Haoli. Even if an opponent was incredibly tough, it was presumed they could be shattered with a single blow.

Yet the Heavenly Bone Woman had only suffered a tear in her skin.

The Heavenly Bone Woman touched her cheek. Her once stunningly beautiful face was now terrifying. Half of the skin on her face had peeled off, and her eyes narrowed with icy coldness.

The torn skin on her face rapidly repaired itself. In just a few seconds, it was restored to perfection, revealing once again an immaculate visage.

The Soul Hooking Master elder shouted, ”Haoli, get out of here, quickly!”

Haoli was taken aback. He looked down and saw the Bone Sword he had pulled out trembling. Suddenly, it stabbed toward his throat.

Haoli incredulously clutched his neck as blood gushed from the wound like a fountain.

SQUELCH! SQUELCH!

The Bone Sword, like a Flying Sword, continuously pierced Haoli’s body. In the next moment, his flesh was a blur, as if riddled with bullets.

An S-Level Demon Exorcist, taken down just like that?

Everyone was incredulous. This Heavenly Bone Woman was too terrifying; she was a Demon Head.

The Soul Hooking Master took a deep breath, his body shaking violently. ”Little Lan, get out of here quickly! I can hold her off for a while,” he said.

Ouyang Lan snapped back to reality, gritting her teeth. ”Elder Yue, if you don’t leave, I won’t leave either.”

Elder Yue wasted no words, for the Heavenly Bone Woman was walking toward them. She moved like a breathtakingly beautiful goddess, every step seeming to bloom lotuses, yet she was a true Big Devil.

A red string appeared in the elder’s hands. He stretched it out between his hands; it looked like a cat’s cradle string, a child’s game.

Elder Yue chanted an incantation, his hands moving swiftly. The red string transformed, forming the pattern of a forbidden curse. An unknown power fixed the Heavenly Bone Woman in place, rendering her unable to move.

The Heavenly Bone Woman frowned slightly, as if something were locking her feet in place.

However, compared to the forbidden curse that had once sealed her, this was far too weak. She merely raised her foot and took a step.

PTOO!

Elder Yue spat blood, his face contorted in horror. ”The Soul-Binding Red String... it can’t control her!” he exclaimed.

The Heavenly Bone Woman commanded the Bone Sword. From twenty meters away, it shot like a Flying Sword straight for Elder Yue’s heart.

CLANG! CLANG!

The Bone Sword was deflected. Ouyang Lan’s dagger had blocked it. She supported the blood-spitting Elder Yue and vanished using stealth.

The Heavenly Bone Woman did not pursue. She recalled the Bone Sword and stood with her hands behind her back, emanating an indescribable, transcendent aura.

Barefoot, with dusky long hair and dressed in white robes that fluttered in the wind like an otherworldly fairy, she surveyed the bloody slaughterhouse and spoke an ancient phrase.

The person in charge of the Seventh District turned extremely pale. ”What did she say?” he asked.

”It’s an ancient language from several thousand years ago. We can’t translate it right now,” a staff member replied.

The person in charge despaired. ”Three of our top S-Level Demon Slayers, all defeated! Who can stop the Heavenly Bone Woman now?”

Everyone else felt equally hopeless as they watched the reanimated corpses approach. Even smashing the heads of these creatures didn’t stop them; they moved as if more undead than the undead themselves.

Anli City is done for.

This thought surfaced in everyone’s mind.

The Heavenly Bone Woman began to move. She walked leisurely, with a relaxed demeanor, heading out of the school.

Once she steps out, it will spell calamity for all living beings!

”Enlarge!”

Just as everyone was losing hope, an extremely loud shout rang out. A huge Golden Iron Rod fiercely smashed down toward the Heavenly Bone Woman.

BOOM.

With a deafening noise, the ground exploded. The Heavenly Bone Woman reacted incredibly quickly, dodging the blow.

Who is it? Who would dare to show up at a time like this?

The crowd saw a young man appear. He was not particularly handsome, with short black hair and spirited eyes—a rather good-looking fellow.

Chu Hao retracted his Ritian Stick. A cigarette dangled from his lips as he tried hard to conceal his fear. In short, he was forcing himself to act pretentious.

He took a deep drag from his cigarette. His hand was shaking slightly, but he hid it well.

”Bai Gu Spirit, I’m here.”

DING… Host has made a domineering entrance, earning 900 Pretentiousness Points.

The onlookers were stunned to see Chu Hao. This young man was none other than Chu Hao, who had disappeared earlier!

Hadn’t he left? How did he come back? they wondered.

Bai Gu Spirit... No, that’s not right!

The Heavenly Bone Woman tilted her head, appearing playful and cute. She sized up Chu Hao with an arrogant look that seemed to ask, ”You still dare to show your face?”

Chu Hao couldn’t stand her gaze. Although the girl’s features were charmingly beautiful, and her every action could enthrall one’s soul, it was all an illusion. The scores of corpses surrounding them were the best testimony to her true nature.

”What are you looking at?!” Chu Hao snapped.

The Heavenly Bone Woman spoke, her modern Mandarin still somewhat awkward, ”I admire you.”

What does she mean by that? Has she taken a liking to Brother Hao? Chu Hao’s face darkened.

Chu Hao said nonchalantly, ”Brother Hao is so handsome; plenty of people admire me.”

The Heavenly Bone Woman tilted her head, a move that seemed to be her signature—cute yet alluring. ”Idiot,” she said.

Damn it! This thing even curses! And she’s learning the language far too quickly. What on earth is she? If she continues to develop at this rate, won’t Earth be doomed?

Chu Hao ground his cigarette into the dirt. ”Cut the crap! Come and fight this Taoist Master for three hundred rounds!”

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Bone Woman said, ”Not in the mood.”

Chu Hao was speechless. ”…”

This Bai Gu Spirit is looking down on me, isn’t she? Don’t you all think so? he fumed internally.

With that, the Heavenly Bone Woman ignored Chu Hao. It was unclear what she was thinking. After killing so many people, she was now indifferent to Chu Hao, who had stepped forward to challenge her.

”Wait, where are you going?” Chu Hao called out.

Without turning her head, the Heavenly Bone Woman replied, ”White Bone Cave.”

Damn, she really is the Bai Gu Spirit, Chu Hao thought.

”Wait!” Chu Hao said hurriedly.

The Heavenly Bone Woman stopped and turned her head. Her eyes fixed on Chu Hao, emanating an invisible pressure that made his breathing quicken.

It’s usually me intimidating others. This time, it’s my turn to be intimidated. This feeling really sucks!

Chu Hao forced a smile. ”Can we discuss something? How about you go back to White Bone Cave and never come out again?”

”No.”

”Then stop killing people,” Chu Hao tried again.

”No.”

I’ve put up with you for long enough! Chu Hao seethed.

Chu Hao smiled again. ”How about this, Sister Gutou? If you stop killing people, I’ll let you leave.”

”You’re not qualified to set conditions.”
