Ghost Catching System

Holding Mountain Fist not only drained Mana Points but also a vast amount of True Qi from within his body. Like a tidal wave surging into his fists, it whisked away more than ninety percent in a flash.

The next moment, Chu Hao’s aura, laden with terror, burst forth layer upon layer, pressing forward.

He stood before the five men like a giant. Even Ghost Sword Dust was greatly startled.

The five from Longhu Mountain only felt Chu Hao’s aura becoming terrifying to an unparalleled degree. What was he planning to do?

Zhang Zhonghao exclaimed in alarm, ”Retreat!”

”It’s too late.”

Facing Chu Hao’s fearsome momentum, those who had wanted to retreat found their bodies uncontrollably frozen in place.

Zhang Zhonghao quickly formed seals, spitting a mouthful of essence blood onto the Longhu Seal. His complexion turned pale as he shouted, ”Power of ancestral worship, return to the Great Dao, urgent as a commandment!”

The Longhu Seal flew forward, transforming into a dragon-tiger with a dragon’s head and a tiger’s body, lifelike, an existence akin to a ”Hou,” no longer the illusion from before, but something real.

The other four from Longhu Mountain were shocked. The Taoist Master had been forced to use this move, which would consume ten years of his life!

This dragon-tiger manifested with overwhelming ferocity, its fur billowing as if forged from molten gold. It immediately located its enemy, emitting a roar that shook heaven and earth.

With that angry roar, onlookers at the foot of Beacon Tower Mountain clutched their ears, and those of weaker constitution nearly fainted.

”Holding Mountain Fist!”

Finally, Chu Hao threw his punch.

Right in front of him, the shadow of a vast mountain emerged, pushing forward.

”ROAR!”

The dragon-tiger, as if cast from gold, exhaled a beam of light, colliding with Chu Hao’s fist.

In that instant, time seemed to stop. The crowd below could only see the light exploding, their eyes squeezed shut from the brilliance.

When everything came to a halt, people’s hearts raced as if they were dreaming. Was this truly a battle between Yin-Yang People?

So, who ultimately triumphed?

A huge crater had appeared on top of Beacon Tower, with debris scattered all around. The other four lay on the ground; only Zhang Zhonghao remained standing, albeit unsteadily.

Looking towards Chu Hao, in the direction of his punch, another huge crater spanned ahead, the marble slabs completely shattered.

Chu Hao had also expended a great deal of energy, but he had won. The Longhu Seal lay ahead, having lost its luster.

Chu Hao retracted his fist, took a deep breath, his eyes cold as he said, ”Now you realize the gap between me and all of you!”

Brother Hao is just that explosively awesome! Who else would dare challenge me?

Chu Hao’s current mood was radiant. In this world, who else could battle me? No! Absolutely no one.

Chu Hao turned, leaving behind a legendary silhouette, and said indifferently, ”To be invincible is to be utterly alone.”

”Ding... Host has shockingly shown off, gaining 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Ding... Host has shockingly shown off, gaining 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Zhang Zhonghao spat out a mouthful of blood, his body trembling violently. The horror of that one punch was something only the five of them deeply understood.

The Chu Hao they saw now seemed like the one they had read about in books, a presence only the ancestor Zhang Daoling himself once had.

The crowd below was silent. The media snapped back to reality, frantically taking pictures.

It was as if they were trying to make Chu Hao look even more dashing. Particularly at the moment he turned around, countless members of the media regretted not capturing it, almost wishing to slap themselves for missing the shot.

Chu Hao chuckled to himself inwardly, but before the feeling of superiority could fade, his expression subtly shifted.

He felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he were anemic. Could it be? he thought.

The power of Holding Mountain Fist was far more terrifying than he had imagined. Just gathering the energy for one punch had consumed ninety percent of his True Qi. Releasing that punch felt like pushing an entire mountain forward, and it was starting to take its toll on him.

Only now did he feel his arm trembling with intense pain.

I cannot stay here, Chu Hao thought.

Chu Hao was about to leave. But before he did, he wanted to show off a little more, as such opportunities were rare.

With his back to Zhang Zhonghao and the others, Chu Hao said coldly, ”Come at me again, and I will surely kill you all.”

He was about to leave.

Suddenly, an extremely cold voice said, ”Wait!”

Chu Hao turned around to see an old man approaching. He was dressed in a black Daoist robe adorned with a Taijitu and Eight Trigrams design. His hair was stark white, and his eyes were cloudy.

Upon seeing him, Zhang Zhonghao coughed and stammered, ”Master, you... how did you get here?”

Master? Tch! Shameless bastards. First, they send the juniors. When the juniors lose, the seniors come. Now that the seniors are defeated, an even older one appears!

Zhang Zhonghao’s master said coldly, ”You killed two of my Longhu Mountain disciples. This feud between us will not end until one of us is dead.”

When Ghost Sword Dust saw the white-haired old man, he exclaimed in shock, ”Zhang Guanyi, you’re not dead!”

Zhang Guanyi, the previous Longhu Mountain Taoist Master.

Seeing the white-haired Daoist Zhang Guanyi, countless disciples from Longhu Mountain were overwhelmed with excitement.

Zhang Guanyi raised his hand, and the Longhu Seal, responding to his presence, flew into his grasp. The once dull Longhu Seal seemed to regain its former glory, its aura becoming even more terrifying than before.

Ghost Sword Dust shouted in disbelief, ”Impossible! You! You were already a hundred and forty years old back then. Thirty years have passed; how could you still be alive?”

One hundred and forty years old, and thirty years later, that would make him one hundred and seventy.

This old geezer is a living fossil!

”Your generation is fortunate to have waited until the Human World’s revival,” Zhang Guanyi said calmly, seemingly to no one in particular. ”Not many from our era survived, but now it can be said we have returned to our original simplicity.”

Zhang Guanyi had managed to survive into this era. After the Human World’s revival, as he said, he had returned to his original simplicity.

One hundred and seventy years old! Chu Hao cursed internally. How can someone so old still be alive? He’s practically defying the heavens!

Moreover, Chu Hao could feel how terrifying the old man’s aura was. With his True Eye, he saw that the man’s True Qi was not red, but a profound shade of azure, completely different from his own.

Chu Hao felt like ten thousand metaphorical alpacas were stampeding through his mind. I thought I could make a perfect exit after that display, so carefree and cool! Now, I have no energy left to fight.

Chu Hao tried to suppress his unease and project calm, asking, ”You want to fight me?”

Zhang Guanyi replied coldly, ”You are indeed very strong. Stronger than anyone in our generation, or even the next. But you have provoked those you should not have dared to. Longhu Mountain’s thousand-year Taoist heritage is not something a little whelp like you can dishonor!”

Chu Hao inwardly cursed, Old fool! He then said aloud, ”You want to take advantage of my weakened state? Is this the esteemed conduct of Longhu Mountain?”

Chu Hao really wanted to say, Just wait until my ’cold’ gets better!

Zhang Guanyi frowned and said, ”I will give you two hours to run for your life.”

”Disciples of Longhu Mountain, hear my command!” Zhang Guanyi then shouted. ”Two hours from now, pursue and kill this man! Anyone who obstructs shall be killed without mercy!”

”Yes, Master!” The response thundered from the disciples below, their voices impassioned and filled with killing intent.

Longhu Mountain was truly enraged, bent on a life-and-death struggle with Chu Hao.

He’s giving me one hour to run away!? Is that how little you think of Brother Hao? Well, you said it!

Before turning to leave, Chu Hao said coldly, ”Who could stop me if I want to go? Can you?”

He was speaking to Zhang Guanyi.

Indeed, Chu Hao had the Floating Charm, as everyone had seen for themselves. Who could stop him?

Chu Hao turned and walked away, paying no heed to Zhang Guanyi’s words.

Chase me then! Let’s see if your Longhu Mountain has enough disciples for me to kill!
