Ghost Catching System-Chapter 565 - 564: Just Asking, Are You Scared?_1
In the depths of Gui Yin Mountain, was he really going to take a trip inside? Chu Hao looked at Ma Qingyu and the others, saying, "You go first."
Ma Qingyu quickly asked, "What about you?"
"I have to go deep inside and see, to utterly exterminate Gui Yin Mountain."
The three of them knew that following Chu Hao inside would just make them a burden. Ma Qingyu felt the same and could only nod in agreement. Ma Qingyu said worriedly, "Be careful. I'll wait for you to come back."
These words, "I'll wait for you to come back," were ambiguous, yet they came straight from Ma Qingyu's heart.
「At this moment, Gui Yin Mountain Village had turned into a purgatory, with Fierce Ghosts rampaging and killing everywhere.」
The people of Gui Yin Mountain Village wanted to flee, but the Fierce Ghosts could quickly find them. Without Zhao Yun and the others needing to act, not a single person here could escape.
Normally, these Fierce Ghosts were enslaved by the people of Gui Yin Mountain Village, who had also forcibly turned them into Fierce Ghosts in the first place, breeding deep-seated hatred. Some Fierce Ghosts knew where others were sealed and released them all. Instantly, wails and howls echoed throughout Gui Yin Mountain Village amidst a terrifying, chaotic dance of demons.
Chu Hao felt not a trace of sympathy for this scene. It's time for them to pay for the evil deeds they've committed.
Just as Chu Hao was planning to enter the mountain, he saw a blood-drenched elder crawling onto the village's sacrificial altar—it was the Third Master. As the old man climbed onto the altar, he began to beat the drum.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sound of the drum spread in all directions, penetrating deep into the mountains.
The Third Master fell to his knees, enduring the pain, and cried out, "Great Ancestor! Gui Yin Mountain Village is in dire straits! Please, emerge from the mountain and annihilate our enemy!"
Seeing this, Chu Hao sneered inwardly. Perfect. If they come out on their own, I won't even need to go looking. I'll just wait right here.
「After a while, a black wind swept up from the mountain depths.」This spectacle was witnessed by the remaining villagers, who burst into cheers.
"The Ancestor has manifested! The Ancestor has manifested!"
"Ancestor, protect us! Kill the invaders!"
The Fierce Ghosts that had been slaughtering people shivered at the sight of this black wind and quickly hid themselves within the forest.
Chu Hao looked at the black wind and used Appraisal.
Combat power: 13,000. That's equivalent to an Intermediate Quasi-Ghost King. Killing it should yield a lot of Experience Points. I'm about to level up too; finally, something to deliver experience has arrived!
The Third Master was overjoyed. With a vindictive expression, he looked at Chu Hao and snarled, "Kid, you're dead meat!"
However, he then saw Chu Hao's eyes shining—not with fear, but as if he were looking at a delicious meal, eagerly waiting for it to jump right into his bowl. The Third Master couldn't believe his eyes, his face etched with astonishment.
Then, the black wind arrived. It formed a massive Ghost Shadow, at least seven or eight meters tall, like a black shroud enveloping the sky. It solidified into a Black Wind Fierce Ghost, radiating immense Ghost Qi.
"Who dares disturb this king's meditation?"
This Fierce Ghost was a Quasi-Ghost King who had been cultivating deep in the mountains and was naturally displeased at having its meditation disturbed.
Chu Hao understood immediately. So this is the real S-rank mission. The people of Gui Yin Mountain Village are just minor characters; the true power of Gui Yin Mountain lies deep within these mountains.
Before the Third Master could speak, Chu Hao interjected, "A mere Fierce Ghost, and you dare call yourself king? Is this so-called power of Gui Yin Mountain just you alone?"
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost glared at Chu Hao. The swirling black, malevolent wind formed a horrifying spectral face. "Who are you? How dare you come to Gui Yin Mountain and cause trouble?"
Chu Hao, hands clasped behind his back, sneered, "Chu Hao. You will all remember this name forever."
"Ding... Host's arrogant posturing has earned 1,000 Pretentiousness Points."
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost was furious. This human is far too arrogant! If I don't teach him a lesson, will he really think Gui Yin Mountain is a place to be trifled with?
However, after Chu Hao announced his name, the Third Master was completely dumbfounded. They hadn't known Chu Hao's background before, but now, just hearing his name terrified them. Some time ago, a major event had occurred in the Yin and Yang Realm: someone had hunted down the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings. That person was now famous throughout the Yin and Yang Realm, and his name was Chu Hao. The Chu Hao standing before them, in all likelihood, was that very same person.
Sure enough, one of the survivors who heard the name exclaimed, "You... you're Chu Hao?"
"What? Chu Hao! He's actually Chu Hao!"
The remaining survivors of Gui Yin Mountain Village were utterly dumbstruck.
When the Third Master heard this, he stammered in horror, "Great Ancestor, he... he's Chu Hao!"
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost had clearly been isolated from the outside world for some time and didn't recognize the name Chu Hao. It declared arrogantly, "I don't care who you are! Today, this king will make you stay here forever and become a Ghost Slave of Gui Yin Mountain!"
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost pounced from above, emitting a shrill, ear-piercing scream akin to an ultrasonic wave, powerful enough to cause dizziness. Those still alive in the village clapped their hands over their ears, but the force of the sound still made their noses bleed. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Chu Hao sneered. His spiritual consciousness was exceptionally strong; such a ghostly wail, while unbearable for ordinary people, was completely ineffective against him.
Chu Hao also wanted to test his current strength. He flicked his wrist, and a yellow Talisman Paper appeared in his hand—a Suppression of Evil Talisman, the most common type used against Ghosts. This level of Talisman Paper, forget about destroying a Semi-Ghost King, wasn't even potent enough to deal with a Dark Killing Ghost.
However, Chu Hao infused it with his True Qi. The Suppression of Evil Talisman began to shine dazzlingly, and a radiant Talisman seal materialized around him, shooting towards the swooping Black Wind Fierce Ghost.
CRACKLE!
A thunderous clap, and a golden light exploded outwards, striking the ghost like a hammer crushing an egg.
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost shrieked as half of its body was shattered by a formidable force. Recovering from such an injury would take at least a sixty-year cycle of cultivation. A gaping hole had been blasted through its spectral form; this wasn't an ordinary physical attack—it had directly damaged its very soul.
"You! You?!"
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost was so horrified it couldn't speak. It had fought Yin Yang Masters before. The Talisman Chu Hao had used, the Suppression of Evil Talisman, was utterly common—basically trash. Yet, Chu Hao had somehow unleashed it with a hundred times its normal power!
Damn it!
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost felt like its entire being was crumbling.
Actually, as the Fierce Ghost was having a mental breakdown, Chu Hao wasn't faring much better internally. That move was incredibly powerful, a true Scary Show Off that definitely caught everyone's attention, but with my current level of True Qi, I can only use it once! Just once! And now, the True Qi in my body is completely drained.
However, Chu Hao didn't let any of his internal turmoil show on his face. He casually boasted, "This Taoist Master can use that kind of power ten thousand times. Tell me, are you scared now?"
"Ding… Host has received 1,000 Pretentiousness Points for a Scary Show Off."
Motherfucker! Ten thousand times!
The Black Wind Fierce Ghost was indeed thoroughly terrified.
At that moment, the Third Master finally managed to stammer out, "Great Ancestor! Chu Hao... he... he once hunted down the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings!"
Hearing this, the Black Wind Fierce Ghost reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, its terror intensifying. It glared venomously at the Third Master. This bastard has doomed me! An adversary of this caliber... how could I possibly contend with him?
