Ghost Catching System
Chapter 351: Fierce Posturing_1
Chen Fenglei felt like vomiting blood. He had never expected to be pushed out so quickly, especially since he wasn’t one of those from Longhu Mountain.
The other side was skilled in martial arts, but what about him? Understanding feng shui and Mystical Arts, as well as divination, he was a mere scholar. If he really had to fight, wouldn’t that be seeking death?
Chen Fenglei’s face turned pale as he took a step back and said, "Brother Yi Ming, it looks... looks like it’s up to you."
He Yiming scorned the guy. He’d just been bragging about how to subdue Arachne, and now he was acting this cowardly! What happened to trust between people? Is everyone so fond of bragging and showing off these days?
He felt helpless as he stared at the Spider Spirit, debating whether to fight or flee!
He Yiming had tested it out earlier; the Monster Qi of this creature actually exceeded seventy percent. Even a real Demon Slayer would have a headache dealing with it, let alone him, a mere Exorcist.
There’s a vast difference between an Exorcist and a Demon Slayer. Demon Slayers, who deal with ghosts and supernatural monsters, must have a strong constitution. In contrast, Exorcists are rather feeble, their constitution fundamentally unable to keep pace with a demon.
Everyone at the scene was extremely frightened.
"Hey!"
The crowd turned to look to the left as Chu Hao stood up from the sofa and approached. He then casually lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said indifferently, "You’re the little spider from Europe and America, aren’t you?"
Arachne turned around and glared at him with a sinister smile, actually uttering a phrase in English.
"Humans, quite delicious food."
So, this Spider Spirit can actually speak modern languages.
Chu Hao, whose English wasn’t too bad, shook his head and said, "No! No! It’s the spiders that are the tastiest."
The crowd rolled their eyes, wondering why this exchange between man and monster was so bizarre.
Arachne narrowed her eyes, surprisingly speaking Mandarin with some stiffness, "Huaxia Country humans, taste pretty good."
So this creature actually lived in the modern world and had even preyed on people.
Chu Hao said with disgust, "Little spider, you’re too ugly; I can’t stomach you."
Arachne let out a hiss and said, "Human, you’re seeking death."
Arachne lunged forward, her razor-sharp legs stabbing viciously towards Chu Hao’s temple.
Many had already closed their eyes, not wanting to witness Chu Hao’s tragic death.
However, there was no commotion!
When everyone opened their eyes, they were shocked to find Chu Hao dodging the attack and grabbing hold of the spider’s leg.
With a cold smile, Chu Hao firmly grabbed the spider leg and violently threw her out.
To everyone’s horror, Chu Hao flung the Spider Monster, twice his size, over ten meters away, smashing countless tables and glasses.
The whole place was agape in astonishment.
After brushing off his hands, Chu Hao said disdainfully, "Little spider from Europe and America, is this the extent of your strength?"
Top-tier Inner Strength is amazing. Coupled with his current strength, this kind of small spider was no longer a challenge.
However, Chu Hao didn’t plan on killing her instantly—after all, there were still tasks to be completed, weren’t there?
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, earning 600 Pretentiousness Points."
My goodness! Isn’t that a bit too fierce?
The eyeballs of everyone at the venue were about to pop out.
Arachne screamed and got up, her body drenched in alcohol, looking utterly wretched. She stared venomously at Chu Hao and demanded, "You... who are you?"
That line, so familiar, was perfectly in sync with Brother Hao’s act of showing off.
Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, a sudden feeling of exuberance washing over him. Simply because I am here, this world has become splendid and radiant!
"Since you asked so sincerely, I’ll tell you out of great compassion—I am Chu Hao from Huaxia Country, also known as Master Chu Tian."
"Abroad, many people call me Ward.Visenmo.Lamo Handsome.Handsome Bryow."
Arachne: "..."
The crowd: "..."
My heavens. Why. So handsome. So handsome. Unbearably!
"DING... Host has shown off his demeanor, earning 600 Pretentiousness Points."
"DING... Host has shown off suavely, earning 600 Pretentiousness Points."
Chu Hao waved his hand casually and said, "Do you have any more questions now?"
Not only did the Spider Spirit want to strangle Chu Hao to death, but even the spectators felt the same. Who shows off like this?
Arachne was completely enraged, her anger reaching sky-high as she screamed, "You go die."
She spat out a massive amount of spider silk, even more than when she faced Yue Qinghong.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Hao summoned the Night Demon Blade, cutting through the spider silk. He then burst into extreme speed, instantly appearing in front of Arachne and slashing horizontally with the blade.
Arachne screamed as her chest was sliced open by the sharp blade, and in fear, she leapt onto the top of the wall.
Chu Hao brandished his blade, a drop of blood splattered, and he looked up indifferently at Arachne.
Arachne, drenched in cold sweat, realized this human was even stronger than imagined. Huaxia actually harbored such a terrifying monster.
But then, Arachne trembled all over, and a dense swarm of small spiders crawled out from within her body, lunging toward the people in the venue.
He Yiming turned pale with fright and bellowed, "Quick, dodge! Don’t let the spiders crawl on you."
Someone screamed in agony as the spiders, no bigger than a fingernail, crawled into people’s ears, devouring their will.
Soon, some people went mad, twisting their bodies and rushing towards Chu Hao.
These were just ordinary humans. Chu Hao couldn’t bring himself to attack them and could only evade.
Arachne’s most terrifying attribute was not her combat strength, but her ability to infiltrate people’s minds and control them!
"Human, go meet Satan!" Arachne cackled weirdly.
As more and more people fell under control, Chu Hao furrowed his brow and thought to himself, System, purchase an Ultrasound Talisman.
"DING... Host has purchased an Ultrasound Talisman, spending 1000 Pretentiousness Points."
Item: Ultrasound Talisman
Rarity: ★
Ability: Emits ultrasound in a wide area.
Chu Hao took out the talisman, a piece of white Talisman Paper. With his hands forming a seal, he saw a huge bell with inscriptions all over it appear in front of him. He took a deep breath and bellowed loudly.
"ROAR!!"
The roar, like that of a wild beast, sent terrifying sound waves rippling through the air. The entire venue thundered, and everything—glasses, drinks, and other glassware—shattered into pieces.
Innumerable people screamed, clutching their ears in agony as they knelt on the ground.
As for the tiny spiders, they were all killed by the ultrasound, even those that had burrowed into bodies. Everyone was in extreme discomfort, their ears ringing painfully.
Yan Chen, who had remained calm up until now, clutched his ears, his face finally revealing a look of shock.
Joking! An ability that costs 1000 Pretentiousness Points per use; no wonder it was so intimidating.
"Is this... the Lion’s Roar Technique?"
"I... I can’t hear anymore."
Countless people were terrified. At this moment, they realized that the real monster was not the Spider Spirit, but Chu Hao!
As for Arachne, she fell from the ceiling, tumbling over and over, akin to Monk Tang reciting the tightening spell.
It was a long while before the Spider Spirit regained her senses, her expression filled with terror.
"DING... Host’s impressive show-off, awarded 1200 Pretentiousness Points."
Awesome! Double the Pretentiousness Points was indeed well earned.
Chu Hao wanted to continue showing off, but remembering his mission, he suppressed the urge and coughed dryly, "Am I impressive or what?"
Arachne’s face turned ugly. This human is too frightening! If I stay any longer, I’ll surely die. She was desperate to flee from this place.
However, Chu Hao’s next words left her utterly confused, "Do you want to become stronger?"
Arachne asked, "What are you talking about?"
Impatiently, Chu Hao said, "I asked, do you wish to become even stronger?"
Those who had recovered from the shock couldn’t believe what they were hearing from Chu Hao; this was almost enough to frighten them into deafness again. What sort of act is he putting on?
"Just kill it already," pleaded a frightened, injured Longhu Mountain disciple.
Chu Hao snapped coldly, "Shut up. I’m talking; what gives you the right to interrupt?"
