Ghost Catching System-Chapter 499 - 498 Falling into a Trap_1

Does this kid even know how rare a Ghost King Fetus is?

Yan Furong said coldly, "Cultivating a Ghost King Fetus offers the possibility of nurturing a Ghost King in the future—a tremendously strong battle force! Moreover, the Ghost King Fetus doesn’t need to kill; it can grow powerful by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. This is one of Huaxia’s greatest treasures, and you actually killed it."

Thinking about it, that did seem to be the case.

Chu Hao said coldly, "This Ghost King Fetus has killed many people."

Yan Furong shook her head. "Although a great price was paid, the Ghost King Fetus could have completely compensated for those losses."

Chu Hao shouted angrily, "Compensate? Will you compensate? Quit spouting nonsense at me! Whoever wants to come first, this Taoist Master will take you all on!"

He took out the Ritian Stick and slammed it heavily onto the ground.

CRACK!

The stone slabs on the ground fractured, revealing just how heavy the Ritian Stick was.

In that instant, Chu Hao’s presence was entirely different. His aura surged like that of a battle-seeking deity, his Inner Strength flowing throughout his body to form a tremendous pressure field. This pressure made everyone present hold their breath.

Chu Hao said coldly, "Who’s first?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The crowd was silent, yet all eyed him like wolves. Now that the Ghost King Fetus was dead, fighting Chu Hao wouldn’t bring it back.

However, everyone found Chu Hao infuriatingly arrogant; the boy was too full of himself.

No one made the first move because they didn’t know the depths of Chu Hao’s abilities.

Chu Hao looked up and sighed. "Ah... being invincible is so lonely. There’s actually no one daring enough to step up."

"Ding... Host has successfully pulled off a pretentious act, gaining 900 Pretentiousness Points."

Seeing him show off like that, everyone felt particularly uncomfortable, their teeth practically itching with irritation.

Chu Hao was thoroughly enjoying his pretentious display.

Suddenly, Chu Hao’s gaze shifted towards the window. Standing outside at that moment was a figure—more ghost than human.

Chu Hao was visibly startled. When did this Ghost arrive? Could it have been sent by the Ghost King?

Chu Hao grew anxious. Whether it’s real or not, since the other party is a Ghost, could this be a harbinger of the Ghost King’s arrival?

Chu Hao was truly panicking. How could he possibly withstand the Ghost King alone? Even if it was just a Semi-Ghost King, he’d have to seize the right moment! What should I do?

Suddenly, he had an idea. He looked at the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, for us to kill the Ghost King Fetus together was truly a cause for celebration!"

His baffling words made everyone stare at him, frowning in confusion.

Chu Hao dropped his earlier overbearing demeanor and said righteously, "Rest assured, I won’t disclose that we killed the Ghost King Fetus together. If the Ghost King comes looking, I alone will bear the responsibility."

This... Is this kid sick? Such a quick turnaround!

The crowd looked around. Wang Junshu shouted, "Who’s there?!"

A dark shadow flitted past the window and vanished.

What was that?!

Everyone had a bad feeling.

Ghost Lady shouted angrily, "You little bastard! What are you saying? I’ll kill you today and avenge my Ghost King Fetus!"

Chu Hao looked at her with contempt. You think you’re capable? Apart from Emperor Bai Jiang, did they all really think Brother Hao was such a pushover, so easily squashed?

Just as Chu Hao was about to teach the Ghost Lady a lesson, a fierce gust of wind came howling, plunging the entire mountain villa into darkness. Clouds obscured the moonlight, and a bone-chilling cold spread out incessantly.

Has it really come?

Chu Hao was nervous; it had arrived too quickly. Brother Hao hadn’t even had a chance to bolt.

The others also sensed something was wrong and stared at Chu Hao, demanding an explanation.

Chu Hao was sweating profusely. Against his conscience, he said, "Everyone, I won’t tell anyone about us killing the Ghost King Fetus together."

"Ding... Chu Hao’s shameless posturing has earned him 900 Pretentiousness Points."

"Shut up!" Yan Furong also felt uneasy and vigilantly scanned her surroundings.

"Ah!"

A piercing scream came from outside; someone fled into the villa in a sorry state. It was one of the Mao Mountain disciples from outside.

Wang Junshu furrowed his brows and asked, "What happened?"

"Ghosts... ghosts, so many ghosts!" said the pale-faced Mao Mountain Disciple.

BOOM!

The sky rumbled with muffled thunder, and icy winds kept assaulting the villa, making the windows rattle violently.

Outside, rain began to pour—what started as a drizzle turned into a violent storm, raging like thunderous fury. What made people’s skin crawl was that the rain drifting in was blood-red, thick and viscous like fresh blood.

Everyone gasped in shock.

Chu Hao shivered. He had never experienced such intense Ghost Qi; it seemed as though the wind and rain outside were permeated with terrifying Ghost Qi.

Chu Hao couldn’t bear the blame alone. So, once again going against his conscience, he yelled at the top of his lungs, "Don’t panic, everyone! We’ll kill the Ghost King together!"

Kill the Ghost King, my ass!!

Everyone was almost driven mad. They finally understood what was happening: the Ghost Mother of the Ghost King Fetus had apparently been present all along. Chu Hao, having killed her Ghost King Fetus, had clearly sensed the Ghost King’s imminent arrival and wanted to drag everyone else into this mess.

They were about to explode with rage. Could they not be furious?

They had come all this way, not only gaining nothing and losing their initial investment, but now they also had to face the Ghost King’s wrath. Wasn’t this a complete setup?

Emperor Bai Jiang also frowned; the Ghost King was indeed terrifying. He had no desire to fight an enraged Ghost King here. He manifested the Yin Yang Mirror and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Chu Hao yelled, "Bro, take me with you!"

Emperor Bai Jiang said, "This is your own tribulation. May we meet again if destiny allows."

Emperor Bai Jiang stepped into the mirror. Chu Hao lunged for it but was too late.

That bastard actually ran off!

The Ghost Lady was enraged. Pointing at Chu Hao, she shrieked, "You knew the Ghost King was coming!"

Chu Hao quickly shook his head. "Auntie, how could I possibly know the Ghost King was coming? Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone that you were the one who thrashed the little Ghost Fetus."

The Ghost Lady almost spat blood in anger. This guy could lie without even blinking!

Indeed, as soon as Chu Hao finished speaking, the wind outside grew fiercer, as if the heavens themselves were enraged. More blood rain drifted in. The glass windowpanes were blown inwards by the wind, shattering on the floor.

The faces of those present turned ugly; it seemed that with every word Chu Hao spoke, the Ghost King’s fury intensified.

More people kept rushing in from outside.

"Ghosts, tons of ghosts! There’s no end in sight!"

Everyone drew a sharp breath and looked out the window. A hundred meters from the mountain villa, there was a dense mass of figures—simply too many to count. They had completely surrounded the villa and were steadily advancing, exuding an ominous, chilling aura.

Chu Hao’s eyes widened. "Wow, so many actually came. Tsk tsk... it seems my decision just now to drag everyone into this was the right one."

The crowd desperately wanted to strangle Chu Hao; this guy was such an absolute menace!

Yan Furong also grew angry. "Chu Hao, how can you be so shameless?!"

Chu Hao stuck his neck out stubbornly. "Miss, you’re the one speaking against your conscience. How am I the shameless one here?"

You bastard! Still talking about conscience? Why didn’t you check your own damned conscience when you were spouting all that nonsense earlier?

Now, the Ghost King will definitely believe that we all killed the Ghost King Fetus together. How could it possibly let any of us off?

Chu Hao walked to a corner and pulled up one of the men from the Shangguan Family. This man had been sent flying by Chu Hao’s kick earlier. Chu Hao said to him, "You guys have some real nerve! Daring to try and capture the Ghost King Fetus even with the Ghost King around."

The middle-aged man was also petrified. "No, the Ghost King was supposed to be very weak, and it even had a restrictive spell on it!"

Chu Hao sneered, "And with your meager strength, you dared to try and seal a Ghost King with a restrictive spell?"
