"He’s here!"

Whether human, demon, or ghost, all eyes were on the young man. Two months ago, this young man named Chu Hao descended upon the world. Wielding a Taoist mantra pen, his actions were unpredictable and unrestrained, making others wary.

When Chu Hao appeared, Su Muyue was shocked. No wonder Su Changyu asked me to come. So the person accepting this decisive battle is actually Chu Hao? We’ve only met once, but Chu Hao made a profound impression on me. The laid-back figure from before now appears as a master.

"So it’s him," Su Muyue said gravely.

Chu Hao looked up, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yuran, who was watching him from the Taoist Temple. Through the Devil Mask, he could see Jiang Yuran’s combat power registered at 7,000. Indeed, somewhat stronger than Chu Hao.

Chu Hao then looked around. He saw many evil demons and ghosts with very strong powers, and he couldn’t help but scoff. These evil spirits and demons are either curious or harbor other intentions. Many probably want to snatch the True Word Brush for themselves.

Jiang Yuran stood up and said coldly, "Chu Hao, come over and meet your death."

Ancient Pine Cliff was silent. With this loud shout, buoyed by his Inner Strength, the drizzle in the sky paused briefly, instilling fear and amazement in everyone’s hearts.

Mad Lion was truly worthy of being a master. Was that his Inner Strength? The surrounding evil demons and heretical sects were extremely wary of him.

Chu Hao sneered, "Are you in such a hurry to die?"

Mad Lion was shocked and angry. His suppressed killing intent exploded forth, making the space feel like it had instantly plunged below zero degrees.

Chu Hao said coldly, "Don’t be hasty. I, the Taoist Master, said I would kill you today, and you will be killed. No one can save you."

He shouted lightly, "Gather."

A silver glow enveloped Chu Hao, and the Yin Yang Ornament from the System Space instantly appeared on his body.

Item: Yin Yang Ornament

Rarity: ★★★

Ability: Cast spell to wear instantly, increases the Host’s Mana Points by 3,000.

Second ability: Yin Yang Locking Curse, a powerful ability to lock demons, ghosts, and devils.

The beam of light scattered, revealing Chu Hao clad in a flashy outfit. It was an ancient costume, similar to an ancient Yin Yang Master, extremely stylish, with a gleaming long saber on his back—the Night Demon Blade.

A peacock spreading its feathers—a flamboyant transformation, coolness pushed to the extreme.

This was Chu Hao’s first time using the Yin Yang Ornament. It was a very cool piece of attire that could increase Mana Points by 3,000.

"Ding... The Host flaunted his coolness to the extreme and received 500 show-off points."

Everyone was shocked by this method of changing clothes. Besides, isn’t this supposed to be a duel? Why is he changing outfits?

The live streaming room exploded instantly. It was like watching a movie! Chu Hao had changed his clothes in an instant, and the flashy outfit was simply unmatched.

"Such cool clothes! Where can I buy them? Please tell us, Pretentious Brother, ahhh!!"

"Oh my! Those two standing together are just like a talented man and a beautiful woman!"

"Is this some kind of role-playing? But those clothes are really cool!"

The photography team members nearly had their eyeballs popping out. They knew this was no movie special effect; it was a live broadcast, happening in reality.

A handsome person.

Handsome clothes.

An explosively cool entrance.

I’ve totally got this round of showing off, Chu Hao thought.

Chu Hao said to the System, "System, purchase Qinggong. I want to blow this place away with coolness."

"Ding... Host has purchased intermediate Qinggong, consuming 1,000 show-off points."

With Qinggong, the world is my oyster, Chu Hao mused.

His feet pressed against the ground. His body as light as a swallow, he stepped on the ancient pines, flew forward, and landed on the rooftop of the Taoist Temple.

Chu Hao said coldly, "Come on. Let this Taoist Master see what kind of strength the Longhu Mountain Elder possesses. Just don’t disappoint me too much."

"Ding... Host’s cool pretense has earned you 500 show-off points."

Everyone gasped again, witnessing the legendary Qinggong in action.

How powerful is this Qinggong? Is this a confrontation between masters of the Yin and Yang Realm? Are you sure this isn’t wuxia style? the crowd wondered.

Jiang Yuran roared. He had been holding back for a long time. This youngster has been showing off from the moment he appeared, reaching the pinnacle of pretentiousness! Even if my brother wasn’t killed by him, I’d still take down this show-off!

Jiang Yuran moved as light as a swallow, charging forward with an arrow-like step, his fist shooting straight out.

Chu Hao activated his Inner Strength and took a step forward, his palm slamming out.

SNAP!

The collision set off a burst of Inner Strength. The tiles beneath their feet shattered, causing the two of them to fall into the Taoist Temple.

"They went down!" the crowd exclaimed in alarm.

The Ghost Face Old Man exclaimed, "Impressive! If I’m not mistaken, both of these men have cultivated martial Inner Strength."

Mo Tianji of the Corpse Chasing Lineage said, "This visit has truly been an eye-opener."

BOOM! One of the temple walls was blasted open, creating a huge hole, and Jiang Yuran was flung out.

Jiang Yuran roared, drawing a talisman in his palm and shouting, "Shadows of Dragon and Tiger, Supreme Taoist Clarity, grant me Divine Power!"

Visible to the naked eye, a mysterious and divine talismanic curse mark appeared out of thin air, radiating a fierce and powerful aura. To Jiang Yuran’s left and right, dragon and tiger phantoms appeared, charging towards the front of the Taoist Temple.

BOOM!

The entire Taoist Temple shook just as a white blade light cut through the dragon and tiger phantoms.

Chu Hao, holding the Night Demon Blade, charged forward with murderous intent.

"Kid, you’re seeking death!"

Jiang Yuran was furious. I’ve been practicing for decades! Am I only a match for a mere brat?

"You lowly vermin, I’ll kill you," Chu Hao responded coldly.

The two clashed again. Their fight was as spectacular as a movie with special effects, employing all sorts of techniques one after another.

Chu Hao’s combat ability was not as strong as Jiang Yuran’s, but he had the Night Demon Blade, which greatly increased his fighting power when he held it.

With one slash, an ancient pine was cut open as easily as tofu and fell to the ground.

Jiang Yuran’s Dragon-Tiger Fist advanced, countered by the Night Demon Blade, producing a crisp clang of clashing metal.

The battle was intense, and the people below were all stunned.

These two are too powerful! It goes without saying for Jiang Yuran; he’s known to be formidable, but few have actually seen him in action. And Chu Hao? He’s so young, yet his strength is comparable to Jiang Yuran’s!

Jiang Yuran took out three yellow talisman papers from his sash and shouted, "Tiger’s Roar Shakes the Heavens, Command of the Three Pure Ones, hurry like a decree!"

The three yellow talisman papers flew out, transforming into three giant tigers. They galloped across the ground, each three meters long, lunging with deadly bites.

The people at the foot of the mountain exclaimed in shock. Those three giant tigers are moving too fast! They could shred a person to pieces in an instant!

Chu Hao sneered. The Night Demon Blade transitioned to its second form. With twin blades in hand, the world is mine! he thought.

"Dual Blade Style: Storm!"

Chu Hao channeled his Mana Points, supplementing them with his body’s Inner Strength. His dual blades then unleashed an unprecedented storm of slashes, tearing apart two of the giant tigers. The talisman papers on their bodies instantly turned to ash.

The last giant tiger, seemingly caught in the storm of slashes, was sent flying into mid-air before Chu Hao beheaded it with a single strike.

Chu Hao landed, casually carrying the Night Demon Blade on his shoulder. He looked at Jiang Yuran with disdain and said, "Is that all the strength you have? How dare you challenge me, the Taoist Master, with such meager skills? I truly don’t know where you found the courage."

"Ding... Host’s dazzling pretense has gained you 500 show-off points."

Impressive.
