Ghost Catching System-Chapter 519 - 518: The Terrifying Great Immortal Bai Gu_1
The Divine Traveling Talisman—this was no ordinary talisman.
Item: Divine Traveling Talisman (Treasure Talisman)
Rarity: ★★★★
Ability: Attach to the leg to increase speed tenfold. Consumes 100 Mana Points per second. (Usable three times)
After the System upgrade, item introductions became more detailed. For instance, the previously mentioned Soul Sealing Lock was classified as a magical artifact, and this Divine Traveling Talisman was designated a treasure talisman.
Chu Hao no longer hesitated. He applied the Divine Traveling Talisman to his leg and felt an incredible lightness. His legs transformed into wheels of wind and fire, propelling him dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye. His current speed was comparable to a real sports car; it was astonishingly fast.
Behind him, the Sword Star Lord was furious. He tore apart the Soul Sealing Lock; though formidable, he was far more powerful than it.
Chu Hao had already confirmed he was in Anli City and was now sprinting towards the villa.
Chasing from behind, the Sword Star Lord found it incredible. Just how many treasures does this kid possess? First, there was the Soul Sealing Lock. Now, his speed had suddenly increased so much that the Sword Star Lord was having trouble catching up.
"Stop running!" the Sword Star Lord roared.
Chu Hao retorted, "Only an idiot wouldn't run! Why do you insist on chasing me? Don't you feel like going back? I, the Taoist Master, don't wish to harm you."
"DING. Host has successfully shown off, earning 1000 Pretentiousness Points."
The Sword Star Lord was about to explode with rage. Even now, this kid is still showing off! Just wait until I catch you; I'll make you regret it.
「Meanwhile.」
In Anli City's Seventh District, ever since the Heavenly Bone Woman's appearance, numerous Demon Slayers had been dispatched. Besides the S-Level Demon Exorcists Ouyang Lan and Elder Yue, two other powerful Demon Slayers were stationed there. The Ghost Qi meters in Anli City's Seventh District had also been upgraded. Now, even the appearance of a Ghost Soldier-level ghost would only register a thirty percent danger level.
However, the moment the Sword Star Lord appeared, the meter shot up to one hundred percent, going completely off the scale!
Everyone in the Seventh District was dumbfounded.
"No way! Is this thing broken?"
Old Man Yuan and the others were perplexed, instinctively looking towards Ouyang Lan and the other Demon Slayers.
The four Demon Slayers' expressions also became incredibly grim; they truly couldn't understand how such terrifying Ghost Qi could appear one after another in this small Anli City!
"This is bad! Something has appeared in the city center!"
Startled, everyone rushed to the monitors. They immediately saw the Sword Star Lord leap down from a tall building, landing with a crash that cracked the ground in all directions.
This scene terrified not only the others but even the four S-Level Demon Exorcists. What kind of monster is that?
Chu Hao's speed was devilishly fast, his legs like wheels of wind and fire. He occasionally glanced back. The Sword Star Lord was only a little over five hundred meters behind him and gaining fast; he would catch up in seconds. Chu Hao ran for his life.
Finally, he reached the villa.
He immediately spotted the Heavenly Bone Woman standing on the villa's balcony. Overwhelmed with excitement, Chu Hao yelled, "If you keep chasing me, don't blame this Taoist Master for being impolite!"
The Sword Star Lord no longer believed a word Chu Hao said. He's still trying to fool me at this point.
Chu Hao screamed at the top of his lungs, "Help!"
Chu Hao's vision blurred for an instant. Bai Ling, who had been standing on the villa's balcony, suddenly appeared right in front of him.
Chu Hao jumped in surprise. What kind of speed is that? Teleportation?
The Sword Star Lord also skidded to a halt, staring intently at Bai Ling.
"Don't block my path. Scram!" the Sword Star Lord bellowed.
Chu Hao felt an immense surge of excitement. Yes, just like this! You two monsters, fight it out! Preferably, you'll both end up severely injured.
However, he was somewhat uncertain. Can Bai Ling defeat him? This is an Underworld Deity, and Bai Ling is just a very formidable ancient Ghost Demon.
A hint of mockery touched Bai Ling's stunning features. "Well, look who it is. Turns out to be you, Little Shark. Quite bold of you, daring to chase even my servant."
Chu Hao's excited expression instantly froze. Servant? What does she mean, servant?
The Sword Star Lord was taken aback. She can recognize me even though I'm shrouded in black mist? Could she be Chu Hao's backup? Furthermore, this woman seems to know me; her tone is filled with mockery and teasing.
The Sword Star Lord, emanating horrifying Ghost Qi, said coldly, "No matter who you are, if you intend to protect this kid, you make an enemy of me."
Bai Ling hadn't spoken yet when Chu Hao, peeking out from behind her, interjected, "What kind of talk is that? My Sister Bai Ling is peerless! And you think you're fit to be her enemy? Don't you even look at yourself? You can't even compare to a single one of Her Ladyship's toes!"
The Sword Star Lord's murderous intent intensified as he glared at Chu Hao. He had endured enough of Chu Hao's taunts. Once I catch this brat, the first thing I'll do is cut out his tongue.
Bai Ling nonchalantly tossed her long hair, her beautiful face as fair and flawless as polished jade. She said calmly, "The servant is correct. You are indeed not worthy of me making a move."
Sword Star Lord's mouth twitched. Listening to their tone, those two are definitely working together. They're still trying to trick me!
The Sword Star Lord said angrily, "Little girl, in that case, you'll come with me as well!"
Bai Ling narrowed her eyes. Her cold, stunning beauty now carried a sharp, murderous edge as she released wave upon wave of Ghost Demon Qi.
Bai Ling stated calmly, "Little Shark, it's been thousands of years. Your courage has certainly grown, hasn't it? You don't even recognize this Immortal anymore."
Now, both the Sword Star Lord and Chu Hao were confused.
I thought Bai Ling was just bluffing this guy, but from the way she talks, they actually know each other? Chu Hao wondered.
The Sword Star Lord was also puzzled. He scrutinized Bai Ling carefully. I can't remember who this is at all.
It was Chu Hao who, with a flash of inspiration, revealed Bai Ling's identity. "Little Shark, for shame! You, a Little Prison Warden of Small Hell, don't even recognize the world's number one Heavenly Bone Woman? How ignorant can you be!"
Actually, Chu Hao hadn't held out much hope; he was merely testing the Sword Star Lord's reaction. To his utter astonishment, upon hearing the name "Heavenly Bone Woman," the Sword Star Lord froze.
The Sword Star Lord stared at Bai Ling in disbelief, his murderous gaze instantly replaced by terror. He stammered, "You… you are… Bai… Bai Bai Bone Grand Immortal?"
Bai Ling ignored the Sword Star Lord and looked at Chu Hao. "Butler, you certainly have a lot to say, don't you?"
Chu Hao managed an awkward smile, but the Sword Star Lord's reaction had completely floored him. What on earth is going on?
At this moment, the Sword Star Lord was trembling uncontrollably. He wanted to retreat but didn't dare, presenting a rather comical sight.
Bai Ling, hands clasped behind her back, looked askance at the Sword Star Lord. "So, you still remember this Immortal. That's not easy."
The Sword Star Lord stammered, "I… I… You… You!!"
Chu Hao, standing nearby, was shocked. Is this still an Underworld Deity? Why is he so terrified of Bai Ling?!
Bai Ling sneered again. "Thousands of years, and you finally managed to become a Little Jail Master of the Underworld. Your talent truly is exceptionally poor. Compared to that Yellow Weasel, you're far too lacking."
The Sword Star Lord looked like he was about to cry. What Yellow Weasel?! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The Yellow Weasel Bai Ling referred to was now one of Underworld Judge Cui's subordinates, thriving and far more powerful than him, this mere Little Prison Warden.
