Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao looked at his hand, still dripping with blood, and felt heartache. How many eggs would he need to eat to make up for this loss?

He endured the burning pain in his palm, feeling aggrieved. If I had seventy or eighty thousand Pretentiousness Points, I wouldn’t waste time talking with you all. I would have wiped you out one by one.

Chu Hao took a deep breath. This was not the time to falter; he had to complete the pretentious task; otherwise, his efforts would have been in vain.

Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, speaking from high above, ”Just three Ghost Demons, why have you stopped? Don’t you dare come any closer?”

”Damn it!” Even the Ghost King couldn’t help but curse.

He felt extremely frustrated. This guy’s display is just too grand!

Actually, they didn’t know what kind of Formation this was. It felt very powerful, and none of them wanted to be the first to charge up and ”send themselves to death.”

The Ghost King felt this way, as did the Immortal Fox and the Snake King; they were all deterred.

Chu Hao was extremely satisfied. With a wave of his hand and utter contempt, he said, ”What Greater Demon, what Ghost King, they’re nothing more than that. This Taoist Master has slain countless such beings before.”

The corners of the Immortal Fox’s mouth twitched; she felt annoyed but also wary.

The Snake King felt the same, coiled in the streets. The snake was so huge it was impossible not to draw attention.

The Southern Ghost King was even more annoyed. It stood three meters tall, its body pitch black, with bone spurs growing from its back and terrifying Ghost Qi, looking extremely fearsome.

From a distance, Ju Zheng Qing murmured, ”It seems I have underestimated you.”

Chu Hao felt extremely proud inside. He wanted to laugh out loud. Ghost Kings like this? Demon Kings like that? Yet all were intimidated by Brother Hao’s pretentious acts.

Chu Hao sneered, ”Your courage pales in comparison to those Underworld Deities who fought with this Taoist Master a few days ago. You don’t even know where you got the audacity to dare come and besiege me.”

”DING. Host has successfully bluffed, gaining 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Not bad, this act of pretentiousness has already earned ten thousand Pretentiousness Points.

If the Sword Star Lord were here, he would be spitting blood upon hearing Chu Hao’s words, definitely fighting desperately.

In a corner within the city, a man and a woman observed, falling speechless upon listening to Chu Hao’s words. They were none other than Yan Chen and Yan Furong, the masterminds behind this whole affair.

”Where’s his shame!” Yan Furong was utterly speechless.

Indeed, Chu Hao’s words once again shocked everyone.

Fighting with Underworld Deities!

Are you sure you’re not bluffing? How terrifying is this human?

The Immortal Fox’s pupils constricted as she spoke, her voice clear and cold, like a stunning beauty’s, ”I just want the Emperor’s Yellow Seal.”

Chu Hao stared at the Immortal Fox, speaking coldly, ”What kind of age is this when a mere Fox Demon dares to claim to be an Immortal? Does the Heavenly Court know about this?”

”You!” The Six-tailed Demon Fox was furious, its six black tails swaying nonstop, dazzling with a terrifying murderous aura.

The Snake King spoke, the giant snake using human language, its lantern-sized eyes terrifying. It stared at Chu Hao, ”Human, your Formation does not have the power to kill this king.”

Chu Hao looked at the Snake King, speaking with extreme disdain, ”Just a snake, not yet a Dragon, and yet you dare to call yourself a king! Does the old Dragon of the East Sea know about this?”

The Snake King was at a loss for words; this youngster knew too much.

In fact, the Snake King was almost a Jiao-dragon, having lived for far too long; it was a true Demon King.

Before the Southern Ghost King could speak, Chu Hao had already said indifferently, ”The Ghost Mother was killed by this Taoist Master, and so were her children. Do you have a problem with that?”

Damn it!

The Ghost King was on the verge of breaking down. This living human was too arrogant! I know you killed them, the Ghost King thought, swallowing the words he had been about to say.

The Ghost King was frustrated but also wary of the ancient Formation, unsure of its power. Seeing Chu Hao so confident, he believed the Formation must be trustworthy.

Actually, all three Great Ghost Demon Kings had been bluffed.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but sigh internally. So what if I’m temporarily weak? Brother Hao can still put on a show. Look at this! Even the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings are scared stiff, not daring to move. I, Brother Hao, am simply a genius.

In the distance, Zhao Gousheng was beside himself with excitement. He guffawed loudly, ”This is too surprising, too unexpected! Chu Hao actually has such a trick up his sleeve. Now we’re in for a good show.”

Ouyang Lan asked, ”Minister Zhao, what kind of formation is that? I’ve never heard of it.”

Zhao Gousheng excitedly said, ”The Tai Chi Slaughter Array. It’s an ancient yin and yang formation. I’ve only seen it mentioned in some ancient texts. It’s a lost art, and its real power is said to be able to instantly kill a Ghost King.”

Ouyang Lan was also shocked, ”It’s that powerful?”

However, Zhao Gousheng scratched his head and said, ”It should be, I think.”

Ouyang Lan was speechless. So you’re just guessing? she thought.

Chu Hao was incredibly smug. At this moment, the System prompt sounded.

System prompt: ”S-level task, Show Off and Run, 50% complete.”

Upon hearing the System’s prompt, Chu Hao was visibly startled.

Damn it! It’s not even 100%, what the hell? I, Brother Hao, thought I’ve never been more successful at showing off. Why is it only 50%?

Chu Hao quickly asked, ”System, what do you mean? Why have I only completed 50%?”

System: ”The true meaning of the System’s task is to show off and then run. Host, you’re missing the running part.”

Chu Hao was speechless. Are you… Are you trying to get me killed?

Chu Hao asked with a pained expression, ”If I don’t run, does that mean I can’t complete the task?”

System: ”Yes.”

This is so messed up! Since when was this a thing?

The current situation was great; he had intimidated the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings. Chu Hao was confident that his continued showing off would make them leave with their tails between their legs.

But the task demanded he run! Was there some mistake? What kind of twisted task is this?

”System, the tasks you issue are getting more and more messed up each time,” Chu Hao grumbled.

System: ”The road to becoming the King of Show-offs is long. You need these experiences to become a true King of Show-offs. These are just lessons.”

Chu Hao cursed, ”Lessons my ass!”

System: ”It’s up to the Host to decide.”

Chu Hao was also feeling a headache; the situation was just too damn awkward. What the hell am I supposed to do?

No, I still need to infuriate them enough to make a move, then Brother Hao will run, he decided.

So, Chu Hao shouted, ”What are you hesitating for? This Taoist Master has other matters to attend to. If you’re going to attack, do it now. Stop dilly-dallying. Where’s your spirit?”

”DING. Host has successfully shown off, receiving 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Damn! He’s really not afraid, huh? Is he planning to take on the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings with just one formation?

Chu Hao thought this would finally provoke them into acting.

However, the three Ghost Demons still did not make a move, just staring at him, their aura chillingly cold.

The Immortal Fox took a deep breath and looked at the Snake King, saying, ”I no longer want the Emperor’s Yellow Seal.”

The Snake King snorted coldly, ”Are you afraid?”

This Fox Demon, in her human form, was as enchanting as ever and hardly distinguishable from a human. Her beautiful face wore a look of schadenfreude as she said, ”Even without the Emperor’s treasure, I can evolve into the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. There is no need to rush things.”

When a fox spirit turns shameless, no one can outdo her.
