Ghost Catching System

Beneath Su Huansheng’s feet, it was as if he had stepped on the wind to dodge. The Ritian Stick smashed into a rock, shattering it instantly.

Su Huansheng’s face turned pale, and he said, ”Young friend Chu, it seems you no longer wish to join forces.”

Chu Hao gripped the Ritian Stick and coldly said, ”Put away your hypocrisy, it sickens me. Demons are a hundred times better than you.”

These words weren’t wrong. Su Huansheng was very scheming, still putting on the front of being a good guy even now. With such a person around, it was hard to feel at ease.

”You all dare to ignore this king!” the Ghost King roared in anger.

The bloody water drew ever closer, sweeping up nearby trees and rocks and hurling them towards the group.

If this bloody water were some illusion, then it was too lifelike, indistinguishable from the real thing. It was impossible to block, and everyone was sent flying by its force.

Leaping onto a large tree, Chu Hao looked down at the blood water below and thought to himself, What is the Black Water Ghost King’s strength now?

He sent over a determined scan and found that above the Ghost King’s head, the display showed ????.

Chu Hao cursed inwardly, Damn it! The Ghost King’s strength has definitely increased by a lot; it’s no longer the same as before.

The Ghost King laughed maniacally, its grotesque ghostly face looming large as it declared, ”This king will absorb your souls and dominate the Human World.”

Within the Ghost King’s massive ghostly shadow, dense black smoke appeared, swirling overhead and rushing towards Chu Hao and the others.

Yang Cheng roared, his hands forming seals. Fifty Talismans appeared in front of him. Attired in a Mao Mountain Taoist robe, his body radiating innate True Qi, those Talismans transformed into a wall, attempting to block the incoming black smoke.

The black smoke, entirely formed from human heads, bore Fierce Ghost expressions.

Yet, it was unstoppable.

With a scream, Yang Cheng was engulfed by the black smoke Fierce Ghosts, his soul and blood drained from him. In just a short moment, after all his essence was absorbed, even his soul vanished without a trace, leaving behind a mummified corpse.

”Ghost Sutras! Black Ghosts!” cried out the Six-tailed Demon Fox in shock.

The black smoke Fierce Ghosts that devoured Taoist Yang Cheng returned to the Ghost King’s body. It exhaled a mist of black breath, seemingly relishing the sensation.

Chu Hao was also startled. Is this the power of the Ghost Sutras? It seems too formidable.

It was then that Su Huansheng turned and fled. He didn’t want to linger. According to his plan, there was a chance to join forces against the Ghost King, but now that Chu Hao had disrupted it, it was completely unfeasible.

With a ghastly look, the Ghost King fixated on Chu Hao and said, ”Living man, prepare to die.”

Seeing that it had focused on him, Chu Hao felt a chill in his heart.

Right then, the toad’s voice entered his mind, ”Kiddo Chu, are you ready?”

He had almost forgotten about this toad. What did it want to do?

The toad puffed out its cheeks and, facing the direction of the Resentful Ghost Army, took a fierce inhale.

Immediately, a terrifying suction force emerged. Its gaping mouth became like a bottomless pit, uncontrollably drawing in all the Resentful Ghosts.

Like a whirlwind scattering autumn leaves, one Resentful Ghost after another was devoured, and the toad’s size began to grow—one meter, two meters, three meters...

This toad had become gargantuan, at least seven or eight meters in size. It crouched there like a building, emitting a CROAK.

Everyone was astonished. Even Su Huansheng, who had intended to flee, changed his expression at the sight of this toad.

Chu Hao asked, ”What do you plan to do?”

With a sly chuckle, the toad said, ”Just wait and see. Let me show you the power of this emperor.”

Seeing its Resentful Ghost Army swallowed up by a toad, the Ghost King felt an immense shock. Where did this demon come from?

With a CROAK, the toad focused on the Ghost King and said, ”Watch this emperor swallow you.”

The toad opened its mouth once more, inhaling sharply.

Given its enormous size, this inhale was truly terrifying.

Its gaping maw was like a black hole. Shrubs were uprooted from the ground and surged into its mouth, and even four- or five-meter giant rocks flew uncontrollably into it.

The Ghost King was startled. The Ghost Qi on its body uncontrollably slipped away, as if it were about to be absorbed, along with the power of its soul.

Chu Hao was also shocked; the toad was indeed terrifying.

The Ghost King roared, and a large number of Black Ghosts appeared around it, swarming towards the toad, aiming to devour it entirely.

However, before the Black Ghosts could even get close, they were swallowed up by the toad in a single gulp.

The Ghost King was scared out of its wits.

Originally, it seemed like the toad was really about to devour the Ghost King, but then the toad belched and shut its mouth, cursing, ”Shit! I ate too much.”

Chu Hao was speechless.

The Ghost King laughed wildly, surrounded by swirling black mist. Its expression was ferocious as it said, ”You’re all going to die.”

The Six-tailed Demon Fox also cried out in alarm, ”Run!”

The Black Water Ghost King’s power was now too terrifying. It was no longer a low-level Ghost King but a medium-level one. Moreover, those terrifying Black Ghosts could cause instantaneous death to anyone they entangled.

”Kiddo Chu, save yourself! I’ve eaten too much,” said the damn toad as it turned and ran. Its body was huge, and with a single leap, it jumped a hundred meters away, soon disappearing from sight.

Chu Hao thought, What the hell is wrong with me? I actually teamed up with these guys to fight the Ghost King? When trouble really hit, every single one of them ran faster than the last!

Taking a deep breath, Chu Hao dreaded the Black Water Ghost King, but he understood that fleeing was not the solution; constantly running away would not solve the problem.

Chu Hao took out the Jade Bone given to him by Bai Ling.

As soon as the Jade Bone appeared, it shone brightly, resembling an awe-inspiring treasure.

Chu Hao said, ”Ghost Sutras! Come back.”

The Ghost King sneered, ”Living human, you’re covered in rare treasures. All these secrets will belong to this king.”

Seeing no reaction, Chu Hao cursed Bai Ling in his mind. Wasn’t this screwing me over?

With no other choice, Chu Hao could only use the Greenwood Flame Fan against the Ghost King. He gulped down many Mana restoration potions. His Mana Points returned to their peak, and he lifted the huge fan, fanning it towards the Black Water Ghost King.

”Ding... Host uses Greenwood Flame, consuming twenty thousand Mana Points.”

Chu Hao felt his True Qi deplete once again; this time, it was completely drained.

The Greenwood Flame erupted in front. At first, the Ghost King was surprised. Suddenly, it felt a burning sensation, as if its ghostly body were about to split and explode.

”Damn it, what kind of treasure is this?” the Ghost King cursed.

The Ghost King reacted quickly, spitting out clouds of black smoke to shield itself.

The terrifying Greenwood Flame burned those Black Ghosts to nothing, leaving them to vanish from the world.

The Ghost King cried out in alarm, ”The Black Ghosts from the Ghost Sutras have been burned away!”

These Black Ghosts were extremely terrifying, and their defensive strength was astounding, but they simply couldn’t withstand the power of the Greenwood Flame.

Continuously releasing Black Ghosts, the Ghost King’s energy was also greatly depleted, but in the end, it still managed to survive, panting heavily.

Chu Hao was also weakened. The True Qi inside his body was completely used up; another fan was impossible.

Seeing that the Black Water Ghost King was still alive, Chu Hao cursed in his mind.

However, at this moment, he couldn’t afford to show weakness. If he showed any vulnerability now, he would be finished. Standing on a piece of greenstone, he said coldly, ”Is that all a Ghost King amounts to? I, the Taoist Master, can still use this fan another ten thousand times. Are you scared or not?”

”Ding... Host successfully bluffs, gaining 2000 Pretentiousness Points.”

The Ghost King was wary and cursed Chu Hao in its heart. How many treasures did this mortal actually possess?
