Ghost Catching System

After killing Yan Chen, Chu Hao felt nothing. In the Yin and Yang Realm, killing had become quite ordinary for him.

Chu Hao said to Mu Yufei, ”You all go back first.”

Then, he chased in the direction everyone had headed. It wasn’t just the toad; Taoist Min Ran was also there. He absolutely couldn’t let him escape; otherwise, if he recovered and sought revenge, it would be very troublesome.

「In Anli City」

A toad was hopping along. Behind it, a crowd of people was in pursuit, along with some ghosts and Demons.

However, the toad wasn’t the least bit nervous, its eyes darting around shiftily.

Suddenly, a net descended in front of the toad, trapping it. The toad flew into a rage, cursing loudly, ”Who dares ambush your grandpa!”

Su Huansheng, hands clasped behind his back, smiled. ”Little Toad, spit out the jade treasure.”

The toad bellowed, ”You think this lousy net can stop me, the Emperor?”

As it spoke, the toad’s cheeks bulged as if it were puffing itself up with air. Instantly, a flame shot from its mouth, burning a hole through the net.

At that moment, Su Huansheng was genuinely taken aback. This toad is too strange! It can actually breathe fire! What kind of species is it?

By now, the others had also caught up.

In a street alley, the toad was surrounded.

The scene was quite comical: a group of burly men had cornered a palm-sized toad against a wall. Anyone who saw it would have been utterly speechless.

However, nobody dared underestimate this toad. It was truly bizarre. The bumps on its back were emerald-green jadeite, and its whole body seemed to be made of jade. It was unclear what kind of creature it truly was.

Pressed into a corner, the toad seethed, ”CROAK! You lowly creatures! Just wait until I recover. I’ll boil every one of you!”

At this time, Chu Hao also caught up and couldn’t help but feel amused seeing the toad surrounded.

Chu Hao said, ”Toad, come and acknowledge your master, and I’ll spare your life.”

”￥%#!! Kid, you just wait for this Emperor!” The toad was furious beyond words.

Surprised, Su Huansheng asked, ”What on earth are you?”

The toad shouted angrily, ”You’re the thing! Your whole family are things! I am the supreme Jade Dragon King!”

The Jade Dragon King!

Everyone was shocked, but upon reflection, they didn’t believe a word the toad said. If he’s the Jade Dragon King, why is he a toad now?

A large bat hanging from a utility pole, a Semi-Demon King from the deep mountains and old forests, couldn’t help speaking in human tongue, ”If you’re the Jade Dragon King, then I must be the East Sea Dragon King.”

The toad raged, ”Little bat, you dare look down on me, the Emperor? Sooner or later, I’ll roast you!”

This Bat Demon was furious, its eyes emanating a bloody glow in the darkness. ”Just wait until I’ve skinned you, then we’ll see how you talk!”

Chu Hao chuckled. ”Little Toad, how about you submit to me? I can help you escape.”

The toad glared fiercely at Chu Hao. ”Brat, you’re no good either! I, the Emperor, am merely a mighty tiger stranded on the plains, now bullied by common dogs! Just you all wait!”

Chu Hao was exasperated; this toad was simply too arrogant.

”Hmph!” Taoist Min Ran didn’t want to waste words and made his move directly.

Suddenly, the toad puffed up its cheeks. Just when it seemed like it was about to spit, it unexpectedly shot out a ball of fire, sending Taoist Min Ran screaming in agony.

Seizing the opportunity, the toad darted away from Taoist Min Ran.

Enraged, Taoist Min Ran extinguished the flames with his True Qi but was left in a pitiful state, charred black with his hair singed.

Taoist Min Ran looked up to the sky and let out a long, anguished howl, his anger reaching its zenith.

”Ah! I’m absolutely infuriated!”

The crowd was speechless; Taoist Min Ran really had terrible luck.

However, just as Min Ran cried out, he was struck on the back of his head with a heavy stick. His eyes rolled back, and he nearly fainted. Clutching the back of his head, he squatted down in agony, tears streaming down his face.

Chu Hao, holding the Ritian Stick, looked at Min Ran in disbelief. ”He didn’t faint!”

He, too, was astonished. The power of that blow would have half-crippled anyone else. An ordinary person’s skull would have cracked open from such a hit; Taoist Min Ran was surprisingly resilient.

But then, Chu Hao noticed a garment on Taoist Min Ran’s body glowing with a faint purple light. Ah, so he’s wearing protective magical robes! he instantly understood. No wonder he survived that blow!

At that moment, Taoist Min Ran felt utterly devastated. That brat actually ambushed me from behind while I was furious!

The toad hadn’t run far. Seeing Chu Hao’s sneak attack on Taoist Min Ran, it expressed surprise, ”I didn’t expect you to lend this Emperor a hand. You, as a human pet, are quite good.”

Chu Hao’s face darkened; this toad’s words were even more infuriating than his own usual taunts. ”A Warty Toad aspiring to eat swan meat?”

The toad leaped up, outraged, and retorted, ”CROAK! I am not a toad!”

Chu Hao couldn’t be bothered with it and turned to Taoist Min Ran, preparing to strike again with the stick and take him back for a proper lesson.

Just then, the bat perched on the electric pole swooped toward Chu Hao. It was enormous, at least the size of a farm dog. With its wings spread, it spanned over two meters. Its fangs were sharp, and its eyes glowed with a bloody light.

Chu Hao was knocked to the ground. The bat opened its gaping maw, its sharp fangs aiming for Chu Hao’s neck.

If it had managed to bite him, it surely would have drained him dry in an instant. Chu Hao released his True Yang Shield and invoked the True Yang Armor skill to protect his neck.

The bat’s fangs clamped onto the armor, causing it such pain that it yelped and quickly flew back into the sky.

Chu Hao cursed, ”You dare ambush this Taoist Master!”

Min Ran was also taken aback. Why would this Bat Demon help me?

Then he heard the Bat Demon say, ”Taoist Min Ran, I was sent by the Demon Wolf King.”

Min Ran came to a realization and furrowed his brows. Why would the Demon Wolf King want to help me?

Chu Hao was furious. He threw the Ritian Stick, which spun wildly like a meteor, striking the Bat Demon squarely.

The Bat Demon shrieked wretchedly as the Ritian Stick struck it, splattering blood, and it crashed down nearby.

Taoist Min Ran bit his lip. He knew he could no longer stay. Reclaiming the jade treasure was impossible. Moreover, it wasn’t just Chu Hao he had to deal with; Su Huansheng was also nearby, like a ticking time bomb.

He turned and fled, transforming into a wisp of blue smoke and disappearing, using his Hidden Initiations Technique again.

Chu Hao, feeling annoyed, dusted off his clothes and walked over to the Bat Demon. ”Little bat, you’ve got some nerve, disrupting the plans of this Taoist Master!”

The Bat Demon was terrified; Chu Hao’s Ritian Stick was too powerful. That single blow had scattered all its Monster Qi, leaving it powerless.

It was no wonder. The Ritian Stick was a Divine Weapon, tailor-made for fighting Demon Gods and exceptionally effective against other Demons.

The Bat Demon tried to flee, limping and unable to fly, crying out in terror, ”I-I am a subordinate of the Demon Wolf King! If you kill me, the Wolf King will not let you off!”

Chu Hao replied indifferently, ”I’m not even afraid of the Three Great Ghost Monster Kings, so why should I fear a mere wolf?”

The Bat Demon grew even more fearful. ”You... you are Chu Hao?”

Chu Hao snorted coldly. ”That’s right, I am this Taoist Master.”

The Bat Demon trembled with fear.
