Ghost Catching System

Taoist Min Ran didn’t care about anything else; the toad had humiliated him, so he immediately tried to stomp on it.

However, the toad, clutching the Emperor’s Love, disappeared the next moment, and Min Ran’s stomp hit nothing but air.

Everyone was stunned. The toad’s speed was simply too fast, leaving them unable to pinpoint its location.

”RIBBIT! All of you here, just wait. This Emperor will settle scores with each of you in due time,” the toad’s voice rang out.

Suddenly, everyone realized that the toad, at some unknown point, had hopped onto someone’s head—Tina’s, to be exact.

Tina screamed in terror, her face turning deathly pale.

Looking down, the toad said with displeasure, ”Beauty, you’ve scared this Emperor.”

”Toad, get down, get down!”

Tina shrieked but didn’t dare use her hands to grab the toad; she had a severe phobia of toads.

The toad grew even more displeased. ”This Emperor is not a toad.”

Everyone, thoroughly exasperated, said in unison, ”You’re definitely a toad.”

The toad snorted coldly. ”This Emperor originally disdained to speak your human language—the tongue of inferior creatures is truly pathetic. But now, this Emperor is thoroughly displeased.”

The crowd was aghast. Damn it! ’Inferior creatures’? It’s talking about all of us! This toad is unbearably arrogant!

Chu Hao said directly, ”Warty Toad, I was the one who cut you out. Aren’t you going to hurry over and greet your master?”

Chu Hao’s words only provoked the toad further, and it cursed, ”Kid, this Emperor has remembered you. Once this Emperor recovers, I will definitely make you my human pet.”

Chu Hao’s expression darkened. This toad’s arrogance rivals my own! He said, ”Considering how ugly you are, and you probably don’t even taste good, I suppose I’ll reluctantly take you in.”

As he spoke, Chu Hao took out the Demon-catching Mirror.

Seeing the Demon-catching Mirror, the toad cursed, ”Kid, if you have any guts, put that thing away! Let’s fight one-on-one!”

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”I, this Taoist Master, disdain dueling a mere toad. It would be a loss of status.”

”RIBBIT! You dare call this Emperor a toad?” The toad now considered Chu Hao its number one enemy.

The crowd watched, jaws agape. This was undoubtedly an extraordinary toad. It was clearly a toad, yet it vehemently denied it, acting as if being called a toad was a grave insult.

Taoist Min Ran, however, couldn’t be bothered with such antics. He roared, ”Warty Toad, hand over the jade treasure!”

”This jade treasure has always belonged to this Emperor!” the toad retorted.

And then, to the shock of the onlookers, it opened its mouth—which was bigger than its body—and swallowed the Emperor’s Love, even letting out a burp afterward.

”Ah, satisfying.”

Dark lines appeared on everyone’s foreheads; the toad had actually swallowed the necklace, chain and all!

Taoist Min Ran’s face turned white with rage. That treasure was crucial for healing his injuries and increasing his strength, and now a toad had swallowed it! In a searing flash of anger, he raised his Jian Chi to strike.

”RIBBIT! You smelly Taoist priest, you still dare to attack? Do you really think this Emperor can’t beat you?”

Just then, the toad spat something onto Taoist Min Ran’s face.

Taoist Min Ran was startled, feeling only a slight sting. But when he touched his face, he became so enraged it felt as if smoke were pouring from his seven orifices.

The sticky substance on his face, mixed with green saliva, was clearly the toad’s spit!

Chu Hao and the others stared, dumbstruck. What in the world is this Warty Toad? Is spitting its combat skill?

”This is infuriating!” Min Ran seethed.

Veins pulsed on Taoist Min Ran’s forehead as he charged forward, swinging his Jian Chi fiercely.

The toad deftly dodged to the side, then kicked out with its legs, landing a blow on Min Ran’s face. Instantly! A powerful force deformed Min Ran’s face, sending him flying.

The toad landed and declared smugly, ”Hmph, runt! You think you can trade blows with this Emperor? Taste my leg!”

Taoist Min Ran was extremely furious, even more so than when Chu Hao had exposed him.

Everyone was astonished. The toad’s body was so small, yet it could unleash such powerful force.

Chu Hao had no intention of letting the toad escape; he still wanted to subdue it. He shot a beam of light from the Demon-catching Mirror. However, the toad’s reaction speed was shockingly fast; as if anticipating the move, it dodged.

The toad cursed, ”Kid, are you harboring ill intentions against this Emperor?”

Chu Hao said with a laugh, ”Warty Toad, come into your master’s embrace.”

Among those present, probably only Chu Hao could enrage the toad, because it could sense that Chu Hao truly wanted to subdue it.

”You just wait for this Emperor!”

The toad was incredibly cunning. It turned and fled, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

”Don’t run!” Taoist Min Ran roared. He no longer cared about Chu Hao; his hatred for the toad was absolute. He was determined to catch it and skin it alive.

The others also gave chase. Su Huansheng, curious about the toad’s origins, followed as well.

The scene descended into utter chaos. Many people had fainted, and some had already started calling the police.

Chu Hao put away the Demon-catching Mirror. This toad isn’t easy to catch, he thought. I need a better plan.

Yan Chen was speechless. What a complete mess! The Emperor’s Love actually got swallowed by a toad! He also wanted to leave and wait for Taoist Min Ran elsewhere.

”Where do you think you’re going?”

A cold voice made Yan Chen shiver.

He saw Chu Hao smiling at him, a smile laced with murderous intent.

Yan Chen was horrified. Chu Hao has been targeting me all along! I deeply regret not wearing a mask. I’m doomed!

”Chu... Chu Hao, long time no see.”

Yan Chen forced a smile, though inwardly he wanted to weep. Without Taoist Min Ran to protect him, he was utterly defenseless against Chu Hao.

Chu Hao glared at Yan Chen and said, ”Were you the one who wanted to harm me?”

Yan Chen started. He knows! It had been his idea to lure the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings to deal with Chu Hao.

Yan Chen backed away, saying, ”I... I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Chu Hao pulled out the Ghost-whipping Whip and said coldly, ”Still trying to deceive me? Do you think this Taoist Master is that easy to fool?”

He lashed out ferociously with the Ghost-whipping Whip. When not used against ghosts, it was like an ordinary whip, but this strike across Yan Chen’s face made him howl in agony.

A vicious red welt immediately appeared on Yan Chen’s face. He cried out in pain, ”It wasn’t my idea to harm you! Spreading the news about the Emperor’s Yellow Seal was Sword Star Lord’s idea! He’s the one who told me to spread it!”

Chu Hao paused. ”So, I was wondering who was stirring up trouble behind the scenes. Turns out it was you, you villainous cur.”

Yan Chen’s heart sank. He realized Chu Hao hadn’t actually known who leaked the news about the Emperor’s Yellow Seal; he himself had just blurted it out in his panic.

Yan Chen despaired, begging, ”Chu Hao, spare me this once, and I will never appear before you again.”

Chu Hao struck him again with the whip. ”Begging for mercy now? Is it any use? You think a worthless piece of trash like you can harm me?”

Chu Hao walked over and delivered a vicious slap. The terrifying force sent Yan Chen flying several meters, screaming hideously.

From a distance, Tina watched, her heart pounding in terror. Chu Hao is so ruthless when he’s angry!

Chu Hao put away the Ghost-whipping Whip and said coldly, ”When you get to Hell, don’t forget to tell Yama that it was I, Chu Hao, who killed you.”

He stomped down, crushing Yan Chen’s throat. Yan Chen spat blood and convulsed a few times before his body went still.
