Ghost Catching System

Shangu Yizun could no longer restrain himself and rushed forward, grabbing one of the disciples. This disciple was young, a Seven-Star Yin Yang Master with a long life ahead of him.

The disciple, terrified, screamed loudly, ”No! Master, I beg you, spare me! I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”

Shangu Yizun frowned and said, ”Your family will be taken care of by me. After returning to Wo Country, you will receive a martyr’s stele, so there is no need to worry.”

The young disciple’s cries were heart-wrenching. He was still so young, yet he was to become a sacrifice. His master was truly ruthless. ”No, please!?” he shrieked.

The others were terrified, stepping back a great distance. Baimu Demon did the same, his face completely changing color.

Shangu Yizun’s large hand slapped onto the crown of the young man’s head, rendering him dizzy. Then, he threw the young man into the center of the battlefield.

Shangu Yizun announced, ”Great King, the sacrifice.”

As he spoke, he held the True Word Brush and chanted a spell, writing the character for ”Formation.”

The Yamata no Orochi twisted its body and bit the young man. The young man let out a blood-curdling scream as intense pain engulfed him; the Orochi ripped him apart, his blood spattering over its body.

The others watched, frowning, and thinking to themselves, This Shangu Yizun is far too ruthless!

Then, the Formation enveloped the Yamata no Orochi. It had been weakened by the attacks, three of its heads chopped off and its body covered in wounds. Within the massive Formation, a strange aura permeated as its heads started to regrow and its wounds began to heal.

Does the Formation connect to Hell?

The Yamata no Orochi in Hell seemed to sense something. It detached a sliver of its soul consciousness and merged it into the body of the Yamata no Orochi in the Human World.

A fierce surge of Ghost Demon Qi erupted, and the Yamata no Orochi let out a hissing roar. Its size increased yet again, becoming a terrifyingly enormous serpent beast, too large to be contained in the entire hall.

BOOM!

The combat between the four monstrous creatures smashed open the walls. Debris fell from the high floors of the building. Even as they fell, the intense battle raged on.

Outside the International Building were streets filled with crowds screaming and rushing to escape the scene.

The people who managed to escape from the Summit Conference were all dumbfounded. What a terrifying battle this was! Five great monsters clashed fiercely, tearing the ground asunder.

The Yamata no Orochi, now more than twice its previous size, coiled around the Azure Dragon, crushing it to pieces. The Azure Dragon vanished in a puff of blue smoke.

”Insects, you shall witness the might of the Orochi King!” the Yamata no Orochi raged.

The Xuanwu, known for its impenetrable defense, was bitten by the Yamata no Orochi and hid inside its shell. The Orochi’s eight heads ferociously tore at it. Eventually, they managed to break through, for it was not a true Xuanwu.

The Xuanwu, too, was annihilated.

Countless onlookers wore grim expressions, and even the Taoist Master of Qingcheng Mountain said, ”This is bad.”

Shangu Yizun was ecstatic. Now, let’s see how Chu Hao handles this!

The remaining White Tiger and Vermilion Bird continued their assault on the Yamata no Orochi, which now viewed them as mere trifles. It eyed Chu Hao with its lantern-sized eyes and declared, ”Insect, I will devour you shortly.”

Chu Hao sneered back, ”Vermin, how dare you wreak havoc in Huaxia without even knowing how the character for ’death’ is written?”

Even at this moment, Chu Hao remained confident, which made everyone else doubtful. If we were to face this Yamata no Orochi, it would be an unbeatable existence.

Chu Hao lifted his True Word Brush and wrote. A ”Dou” character appeared.

DING. Host used the Dou Character Mantra, consuming 30,000 Mana Points.

The Dou Character Mantra transformed into a radiant talisman and imprinted itself on the White Tiger.

The White Tiger roared, a sound that resounded through heaven and earth. Its four to five-meter body suddenly grew to a ten-meter stature, its white fur exuding an even greater, majestic aura.

This was the elevated form of the Dou Character Mantra, capable of boosting combat power.

Fortunately, the Dou Character Mantra doubled the White Tiger’s combat strength.

Although the White Tiger’s current size was still less impressive compared to the Yamata no Orochi, the difference wasn’t too vast.

The White Tiger pounced again, its claws swiping fiercely. The Yamata no Orochi roared in retaliation, and the fight became even more intense.

The Yamata no Orochi felt a throbbing headache. Damn these living humans, to still possess such methods!

Suddenly, a sharp cry tore through the highest heavens as the Vermilion Bird grew immensely large. It spread its wings fifteen to sixteen meters wide, becoming as large as the Yamata no Orochi.

Engulfed in blazing, multicolored flames, the Vermilion Bird flew like a Sun God, transforming into a gigantic fireball, and swooped down towards the Yamata no Orochi.

”What!” The Yamata no Orochi was shocked as it felt the scorching heat of the flames.

Clearly, Chu Hao had boosted the Vermilion Bird’s strength. This time, fortune was on his side, as the Vermilion Bird’s power was randomly increased fivefold.

BOOM!

With a tremendous crash, the Vermilion Bird, like a blazing sun, collided with the Yamata no Orochi. The wildly vibrant, multicolored flames exploded on impact.

At the explosion, everyone retreated, unconsciously backing away.

How could the Yamata no Orochi withstand such an attack? It let out a wail and disintegrated into ashes.

DING. The Host has killed the residual soul consciousness of the Yamata no Orochi and gained 10,000,000 experience points.

DING. The residual soul consciousness of the Yamata no Orochi has dropped an item: Pupil of the Eye.

Chu Hao was thrilled. He had gained ten million experience points and even scored a dropped item.

Item: Pupil of the Eye

Rarity: ★★★★

Ability: Can be merged into the eye to obtain Pupil Technique.

Overjoyed, Chu Hao quickly willed in his mind, Merge.

DING. The Host has merged with the Pupil of the Eye, obtaining partially damaged Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.

Chu Hao was stunned. What the hell is this?! Aren’t Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils the specialty of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven?

Chu Hao examined the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils.

Item: Partially damaged Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils

Rarity: ★★★★

Ability: Can see the truth of things, identify evil demons and ghost demons.

This... doesn’t seem very useful. My Ghost Eye can already clearly see ghosts and demons.

I’ll ignore the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils for now. After the Yamata no Orochi was annihilated, the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger also disappeared. The flames that had exploded on the street left behind a large, charred crater, the stone on the ground melted.

Such immense power left everyone dumbfounded.

Shangu Yizun collapsed dejectedly to the ground, utterly flabbergasted.

As for the others, each one was stunned, including the three Taoist Masters. Such terrifying destructive power had been unleashed by the True Word Brush—its might was too frightening.

Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, looking down on Shangu Yizun with scorn. ”A mere Yamata no Orochi is nothing much. Yours truly can reduce it to ashes with a snap of my fingers.”

DING. The Host has made a shocking display of pretentiousness, gaining 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.

DING. The Host has made a shocking display of pretentiousness, gaining 4,000 Pretentiousness Points.

The scene fell silent. That was Chu Hao for you. Zhang Zhonghao’s expression, in particular, was unsightly. If Chu Hao had used the True Word Brush back on Beacon Tower Mountain, I probably wouldn’t have survived to this day.

”So strong! That’s the power of the True Word Brush!”

”Terrifying! The power of the Four Great Divine Beasts, and those were just two of the True Word Brush’s Mantra abilities. The Nine-character True Words each possess different powers. It’s indeed the foremost among the Seven Treasures.”

”It’s astonishing—with the True Word Brush, Chu Hao’s strength is far more than just Ten Stars.”

Ten Stars? No, Chu Hao’s rank can definitely rise higher!

Shangu Yizun trembled all over. He stood up and said, ”Let’s go.”

”Hold on a second,” Chu Hao said.
