Ghost Catching System

The young man was handsome and around twenty years old. He had just awakened as a Yin-Yang Person and was stronger than average. His credentials certified him as a Level 5 Yin-Yang Person, which filled him with arrogance.

Chu Hao coughed, puzzled, and said, ”And which power do you belong to?”

The handsome young man replied, ”When you go to the Underworld, tell Yama the one who killed you was from the Valley Financial Group.”

The young man’s thinking was simple: Chu Hao was so powerful that if he killed him, he would become famous among Yin-Yang Persons.

It was this financial group again. Chu Hao asked, ”Do I have a grudge with your financial group? Why are you trying to kill me?”

The handsome young man coldly said, ”Do you even need to ask? The things you carry are worth a fortune.”

Chu Hao looked at him, calmly stating, ”You’re pretty confident, huh? Aren’t you afraid you’ll die here?”

The young man gave a faint smile, stating, ”I am, after all, a Level 5 Yin-Yang Person.”

Such people were young and arrogant. Chu Hao couldn’t help but laugh. ”A Level 5 Yin-Yang Person and you think you’re above everyone else? People like you don’t survive a single episode in TV dramas.”

The young man sneered, ”After a while, I’ll pull out your tongue and we’ll see what you say.”

Another group of people arrived. They were neither from Taoism nor the Heretic Path. Chu Hao asked, ”And who are you?”

A woman dressed in camouflage answered coldly, ”Venom Snake Mercenaries.”

Chu Hao was truly puzzled and asked, ”Do I have a feud with you?”

The woman in camouflage simply said, ”Someone has offered a sky-high price for what you have.”

Chu Hao’s gaze fell on the final group of people. This group looked calm, but each person’s aura was formidable, and he could even sense a bit of Monster Qi.

Three individuals wore hoods, exuding a fishy smell.

”Black Shark Clan?” Chu Hao said coldly.

The Black Shark Clan had put in a lot of effort for the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, to the point that Little Ying, a member of the Black Shark Clan, led several people to the Imperial Capital to attack Chu Hao, but they were unsuccessful.

Before him, a two-meter-tall man took off his hood. He was indeed from the Black Shark Clan, with gills on his cheeks, a pointed nose and face, and skin of a gray-brown, sandpaper-like texture. His eyes, the black pupils characteristic of a shark, exuded a fierce aura.

”Descendant of King Chu, it’s time for our dispute to be settled,” the two-meter-tall Black Shark Clan member said.

The others were also surprised upon seeing the Black Shark Clan member. Was this guy even human?

Chu Hao said with a strange expression, ”Actually, there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you.”

The Black Shark Clan member spoke in a hoarse voice, ”Speak.”

Chu Hao asked, ”Do you live in the sea?”

The Black Shark Clan member shook his head. ”The Black Shark Clan has evolved, just as ape-men evolved into humans. We can now live anywhere in the world. Of course, the sea is still the Black Shark Clan’s home.”

So that’s how it was.

Chu Hao coughed, his tone serious. ”Spare my life.”

The young man from the Valley Financial Group stepped forward, speaking icily, ”Do you think that’s possible?”

His name was Chen Yaoguang, one of the new generation of powerful Yin-Yang Persons recruited by the Valley Financial Group. However, his gaze towards the Black Shark Clan carried a hint of wariness.

Chu Hao curled his lip and asked, ”So you don’t plan to let me go either?”

The Venom Snake Mercenary woman said indifferently, ”We only want the True Word Brush.”

Although she spoke casually, her eyes were filled with killing intent. Chu Hao’s fame was now considerable; media reports had hailed him as the strongest Yin-Yang Person. If they killed him, their own fame would grow even larger, making it easier for them to earn money.

The True Word Brush, the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, and the Ghost Sutras—these three objects had brought him no small amount of trouble, as both orthodox and heretical paths desired them.

Chu Hao coughed and said, ”Then there’s nothing more to say.”

Chen Yaoguang waved his hand, ordering, ”Kill him.”

Yin-Yang Persons from the Valley Financial Group eagerly approached. They had all passed tests, reached Level 4, and were capable of single-handedly eliminating a Ghost Soldier-level Fierce Ghost without any problem.

A group of people surrounded Chu Hao, each brandishing their weapons.

In their hands, they held knuckle dusters, daggers, and long knives. These seemed like ordinary weapons but were actually anything but, as they were inscribed with runes. When used with Yang Energy, they could unleash even greater power. These weapons were specially made for Yin-Yang Persons by the Valley Financial Group. Ordinary people could only use them as common weapons, but it was different for Yin-Yang Persons, who could unleash Yang Energy through them. For example, wearing these gauntlets could double one’s strength, and the higher the Yin-Yang Person’s level, the stronger the power.

Are these the new weapons produced by the new generation?

Chu Hao coughed, splattering some blood onto his handkerchief. The sight was shocking. He said weakly, ”I really don’t want to kill anyone. You’re all too weak.”

Everyone was speechless. He’s coughing up blood, and *he’s* calling *us* weak?

Chen Yaoguang said, ”Cut the crap! Kill him!”

A group lunged at him. The man with the gauntlets threw a punch at Chu Hao’s face, powerful enough to shatter stone slabs.

With an outstretched hand, Chu Hao caught the man’s fist. With a twist—CRACK!—he threw the man, who weighed over a hundred pounds, out of the enclosing circle, sending him soaring five to six meters high.

While the others were stunned into silence, Chu Hao slapped another person hard across the face. The unfortunate man in black had bones crack; a row of his teeth flew out as he screamed in agony.

The man wielding a long knife slashed at him. Chu Hao circulated his True Qi and raised two fingers to clasp the blade directly.

People catch blades with their bare hands, but he catches them with two fingers?

A chorus of exclamations erupted from the crowd as the man whose long knife was clasped by Chu Hao just stared blankly.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”That’s not how you use a knife. Let me show you.”

With a flick of his fingers, the man felt a numbness in his wrist, and the long knife fell into Chu Hao’s hands.

Immediately after, Chu Hao struck with the knife at extreme speed. The flash of the blade passed before everyone’s eyes in an instant.

Chu Hao lowered the knife, appearing as calm as if nothing significant had just occurred.

A man, frightened out of his wits, bellowed for courage, ”What the hell is this? Kill him!”

The man charged forward, only to immediately tumble to the ground, his teeth clashing against the earth as a cry of pain escaped him.

”Ouch!”

Several others met the same fate; each of the attackers suddenly found their pants around their ankles, causing them to fall flat on their faces.

”That’s how you use a knife,” Chu Hao stated blandly.

”DING! Host has successfully acted pretentious, gaining 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Damn, how fast was that?

The Black Shark Clan and the Venom Snake Mercenaries all wore grave expressions.

SLASH.

Chu Hao struck with the knife again. Each person lying on the ground now had a gash on their thigh, blood pouring out violently as they screamed in pain.

Chen Yaoguang was dumbfounded. Was this the same guy he had seen in the video?

Chen Yaoguang shouted at the top of his voice, trying to embolden himself. He pulled a yellow talisman from his pocket, chanted an incantation, stuck it on his wrist, and then threw a punch at Chu Hao.

”Strength Talisman,” Chu Hao said.

Chu Hao also launched a punch.

CRACK!

Chen Yaoguang screamed. The moment their fists collided, his hand bones shattered like glass. His arm was wrecked, the bone protruding from his wrist.

Chen Yaoguang knelt in pain on the ground, his emotions beyond description, looking at Chu Hao with fear on his face.

”Please, don’t kill me,” he begged.

Chu Hao said, ”Sorry, but your kind doesn’t live longer than three minutes.”

Chu Hao’s long knife pierced through the man’s throat.

Chen Yaoguang’s eyes widened as he fell to the ground, stone-dead.
