Ghost Catching System

His tiny sword talismans were adept at killing ghosts and exterminating demons, an easy task. Zhao Yun, however, was terrifyingly powerful. Just the Ghost Qi alone could shatter the sword talisman array; such ghosts were too strong. How much power must have been consumed to cultivate them?

Zhao Yun said indifferently, ”What other tricks do you have? Use them to your heart’s content.”

While everyone was astonished by Zhao Yun’s appearance, Chu Hao made his move.

Gui Yan, caught off guard and staring at Zhao Yun, took a hit from the Ritian Stick in the abdomen, exactly the same spot as before.

The blow was even more painful this time. He flew backward, crashing into the wall and shattering the stones, howling in agony.

Gui Yan, clutching his belly, cursed, ”You bastard, you... you sneak-attacked again!”

Chu Hao responded lazily, ”Getting distracted in a situation like this? Don’t you even know how to spell ’death’?”

Gui Yan staggered to his feet, his expression ferocious. Once handsome, his face was now twisted, and out of his mouth flew a dense swarm of mosquitoes!

Chu Hao jumped back, alarmed. What kind of monster was this creature, spitting out mosquitoes?

BUZZ! BUZZ!

There were too many mosquitoes.

Li Yin screamed, ”These mosquitoes bite so painfully!”

Li Haizhen swatted a mosquito, only to discover that the skin where the crushed mosquito lay turned deep green, with a searing pain as if burned by fire.

”These... these mosquitoes are poisonous.”

The other patrons of the restaurant were in a panic as well.

Without a word, Chu Hao promptly fled the scene with Li Yin and the others. The mosquitoes were far too numerous, and killing them would result in poisoning.

From within the thick swarm of mosquitoes, Gui Yan’s cold voice came through, ”Chu Hao, where do you think you’re going!”

Chu Hao said, ”You all go ahead.”

Li Yin and the others didn’t dare linger; staying would be of no help and only burden Chu Hao.

The swarm was vast, filling the entire restaurant. Chu Hao was enveloped in a layer of Inner Strength, making it difficult for the mosquitoes to penetrate.

Suddenly, thin, long needles shot toward Chu Hao.

With swift reflexes, Chu Hao dodged the needles, which then pierced through the stone floor and quickly retracted.

What kind of monster was Gui Yan? He unleashed so many mosquitoes just by opening his mouth; it was a disgusting scene, reminiscent of an Egyptian mummy.

The mosquitoes were too numerous, obscuring sight. Each one carried a toxin; killing even one on your skin would inflict burning pain.

Chu Hao knew these were Corpse Mosquitoes, which bred prolifically around corpses and carried corpse poison. If crushed, the poison could seep through the skin.

From the depths of the swarm, Gui Yan, unseen and sneering, said, ”Chu Hao, hand over the Emperor’s Yellow Seal obediently, and I can grant you a swift end.”

Chu Hao was really annoyed. Does this guy really think he’s so impressive?

Chu Hao retorted coolly, ”Is that all you can do? Sorry, but this Taoist Master truly despises you from the bottom of his heart.”

Gui Yan’s icy response came, ”Anyone can talk big. Let’s see how you’re going to extinguish the Corpse Mosquitoes.”

Chu Hao thought, System, purchase a Scorching Flame Talisman.

DING! Host has purchased Scorching Flame Talisman, spending 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.

Item: Scorching Flame Talisman

Rarity: ★

Ability: Create flames with this talisman

Chu Hao pulled out a yellow talisman paper, chanting, ”Jade purity and prime green, true signs bear the pact, spirit fire of yin and yang, urgently summon yellow calm, quick as decree!”

Then, Chu Hao placed the yellow talisman in his mouth, took a deep breath, puffed out his cheeks, and blew.

The next moment, a massive wave of fire burst from Chu Hao’s mouth, the scorching flames at an incredibly high temperature. The mosquitoes crackled and popped. A thick stench of roasting mosquitoes filled the air.

”WHAT!” Gui Yan was startled. The frightening flame had annihilated more than half of the Corpse Mosquitoes.

Also, what talisman technique did Chu Hao use to spew such terrifying flames? he wondered.

With a majority of the Corpse Mosquitoes eliminated, Chu Hao said indifferently, ”It seems your little mosquitoes are just so-so.”

Gui Yan’s gaze was icy cold.

Suddenly, a chill wind blew behind Chu Hao. He turned to see a Fierce Ghost with two human heads and four arms, standing two meters tall.

However, the person controlling it was a bald man with talisman markings carved all over his scalp.

”Chu Hao, give me the Emperor’s Yellow Seal.”

The bald man, controlling the Double-headed Evil Ghost, lunged forward, exuding a ghostly aura.

Chu Hao could feel that the Double-headed Evil Ghost was no slouch; he pulled out the True Yang Magic Shield and blocked the ghost’s attack.

The True Yang Magic Shield, purchased for 20,000 Pretentiousness Points, was far superior to anything the Ghost Mother could throw at it; the ghost’s fists smashed against the shield, only to be repelled by a tremendous force.

Apart from Gui Yan, there were another five or six individuals eyeing him with predatory eagerness.

Chu Hao stated coldly, ”A tiger that doesn’t flex its claws is mistaken for a sick cat, huh? Well, no one is leaving today.”

He had been hunted by Sword Star Lord recently and was already harboring a bellyful of fire. Now these inconsiderate fools had come after him. Brother Hao has to show his mettle, or they’ll truly think he’s an easy target.

He called out, ”True Yang Armor.”

DING! Host has consumed 10,000 Mana Points.

The True Yang Magic Shield transformed into a set of armor that Chu Hao donned. In this moment, he resembled an ancient general, clad in intimidating black armor.

With the Ritian Stick in hand, he ferociously swung down with all his might.

The Double-headed Evil Ghost tried to block with its four arms, but the powerful blow elicited a wail from the ghost as its arms were smashed into a mess, utterly unable to withstand the strike.

Chu Hao thrust again, piercing through the Double-headed Evil Ghost’s heads.

The Double-headed Evil Ghost screamed in agony, and the bald man controlling it was also panic-stricken.

He had cultivated this Double-headed Evil Ghost for ten years—its strength was on par with that of the Soul Hooking Ghost Messenger!

Seeing that Chu Hao was still intent on delivering a deadly blow, the bald man cried out in horror, ”No, please!”

A swing of the stick, a scream from the ghost, and the Double-headed Evil Ghost was pulverized to dust.

DING! You’ve killed the Double-headed Evil Ghost and gained 1,000,000 Experience Points.

DING! The Double-headed Evil Ghost has dropped an item: Double-headed Flying Skull.

An item had actually been dropped.

Item: Double-headed Flying Skull (Ghost)

Rarity: ★★

Ability: Release the Double-headed Flying Skull to bite and tear at ghosts.

Too ordinary. Chu Hao glanced at it and lost interest.

Upon the death of the Double-headed Evil Ghost, the bald man spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body trembled violently.

However, Chu Hao felt not a shred of pity for him. This guy must have used some cruel methods to refine that Double-headed Evil Ghost.

BANG.

The stick slammed onto the man’s head, crushing his skull. Blood poured from his seven orifices as he was killed on the spot.

The death of one person unsettled everyone present. They had all come for the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, but the man holding it was far stronger than they had expected.

Someone exclaimed in shock, ”You... you killed him?”

Chu Hao replied coldly, ”If he sought to kill me, why should I not kill him? Furthermore... none of you will leave.”

Chu Hao charged towards the five or six people, swinging the Ritian Stick.

These individuals were ordinary in physique and could not endure a hit from the Ritian Stick. The iron stick itself weighed 130 pounds. Chu Hao was only holding back because he didn’t want to create a bloodbath; otherwise, their heads would have burst open like watermelons.
