Ghosts continued to appear nonstop, but Chu Hao let Sadako kill them; there was no need for him to take action, as there were various big fish yet to come.
"Ding! Qiu killed an Evil Ghost, earning five thousand Experience Points. The Host gained five thousand Experience Points."
At last, a powerful Yin Qi emerged from the side. More than a dozen Ghost Shadows appeared; their faces were pale, manifesting various states of death, and the terror of their Ghost Qi made the surrounding air extremely cold.
Seeing this, Xu Yang's eyes widened as he couldn't help but exclaim, "What... what is this?"
Shi Yunlong took out his Compass, and its needle spun rapidly. He speculated, "The Evil Qi from these dozen or so Ghost Shadows has reached over fifty percent."
"Fifty percent?" Xu Yang was dumbfounded.
Xu Yang could deal with forty percent Evil Qi, but fifty percent would definitely kill him. He was now watching Chu Hao on the field with rapt attention.
At the same time, most of the people from the Seventh District rushed over, including Old Man Yuan and Xu Ying. They were both exhilarated and tense upon seeing this scene.
Old Man Yuan said to Xu Ying, "Quick, record everything here."
"Yes," Xu Ying hurriedly replied.
Chu Hao looked at the dozen or so Ghost Shadows. All of them were Dark Killing Ghosts, and some were the ones that had chased him the previous night. He sneered inwardly.
Diao Chan appeared, like a gracefully dancing Fairy with the Jade Maiden Sword in her hand.
Diao Chan said, "Master."
Chu Hao waved his hand and said, "Don't let a single one go."
A hundred meters ahead, fourteen Ghosts appeared. They possessed exceedingly strong Evil Qi and must have killed numerous people.
As soon as this group of Dark Killing Ghosts appeared, all the surrounding Evil Ghosts and Xiao Gui had to retreat far away.
"It's him." The ghosts saw Chu Hao, their faces turning ferocious and deathly pale.
Chu Hao's achievements from the previous night had frightened many demons and ghosts, but now, with such a number of formidable ghosts present, they were not afraid of Chu Hao at all.
A Ghost said viciously, "Kill him! Seize the True Word Brush and present it to the Ghost King!"
A swarm of Dark Killing Ghosts rushed forward. Streams of Ghost Qi, pitch-black like ghostly smoke, swept through like a fierce wind, creating a tumult on the field.
Such a grand scene frightened many people.
A beautiful figure charged forward. Diao Chan was incredibly fast, holding the Jade Maiden Sword in her right hand and the Yuan Pearl in her left. She began a massacre as she advanced.
A Dark Killing Ghost with notable strength was the first to collide with Diao Chan.
The sword light was sharp. It pierced the Dark Killing Ghost's forehead, eliciting a scream as the ghost instantly dissipated into ashes.
"Ding! Diao Chan killed a low-level Dark Killing Ghost, earning three hundred thousand Experience Points. The Host gained three hundred thousand Experience Points."
Diao Chan was too fast. If she could kill the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis, then these Dark Killing Ghosts were easy prey for her.
The ghosts screamed. But no matter how they lunged or used their dark tricks, they simply couldn't touch Diao Chan.
A joke? The Jade Maiden Sword Technique was not to be underestimated. With the sword in hand, Diao Chan created a field of blades around her. Get close to her? Only if you're faster than her.
"Ding! Diao Chan killed a low-level Dark Killing Ghost, earning three hundred thousand Experience Points. The Host gained three hundred thousand Experience Points."
Suddenly, a ghostly howl came from behind—a piercing sound like a demonic chant, which would have knocked out ordinary people long ago.
They saw a tall Dark Killing Ghost, wrapped in blood-red bandages, like a mummified corpse.
A top-level Dark Killing Ghost!
The surrounding ghosts buzzed with excitement, whispering among themselves, "Ghost Slave Wu Qing, who serves under the Ghost King, has arrived."
"That's Wu Qing. It's said it is one of the three great generals under the Ghost King. With it here, the True Word Brush will surely be ours."
Ghost Slave Wu Qing let out a long howl, attracting countless Ghost Shadows from all directions. More and more appeared!
Fifty... one hundred... two hundred...
The weakest among them were at the Evil Ghost-level; even Xiao Gui dared not approach.
Seeing this, Shi Yunlong couldn't help but be shocked and said, "It's Ghost Slave Wu Qing, a subordinate of the Southwestern Ghost King. It has actually come to Anli City!"
Ghost Slave Wu Qing, a very well-known ghost in the Southwest, was very powerful.
It was said that it once massacred an entire village of living people and was listed as one of the most dangerous ghosts by the Seventh District.
The arrival of Wu Qing, leading a faction of Evil Ghosts—such a large lineup—made even Shi Yunlong himself feel an inexplicable tension.
Although he was an AA-Class Exorcist, recognized as a powerful one throughout Huaxia, he might be able to hold his ground against Ghost Slave Wu Qing. However, facing so many ghosts brought by Wu Qing, even he would have to retreat.
What would Chu Hao do?
The ground shook violently as the soil kept heaving. Was there something beneath the ground?
Suddenly, a human-sized object broke through from beneath the earth.
Everyone immediately saw it. It was an unusually large Pangolin, different from ordinary ones, with dark, glossy scale armor on its back. Its claws were large, resembling those of an excavator, and its blood-red eyes were fixed on the Taisui Meat.
"A Pangolin Demon!" exclaimed Xu Yang.
"My god! Such a large pangolin! How did it get into the city?" Old Man Yuan and the others were also stunned.
A Pangolin Demon—shouldn't this kind of creature be found deep in the mountains?
How did it manage to break through the city's concrete surfaces?
Chu Hao remained calm. These creatures were not all of them, nor did they represent the full extent of the invasion of Anli City by demons and ghosts. Google seaʀᴄh novel✶fire.net
As expected, more and more ghosts appeared—two hundred, then three hundred—their numbers reaching a formidable level.
There were also some demons observing from the shadows, their intelligence no less than that of humans.
The True Word Brush had too great an influence. They came from around Anli City, for whoever obtained the True Word Brush, it would mean acquiring a Taoist treasure. Who wouldn't be tempted?
The vast field was filled with an eerie ghostly air, with the number of apparitions already surpassing five hundred.
Wu Qing was quite large, with ferocious fangs at the corners of its mouth, looking less like a ghost and more like a Drought Fiend.
In fact, when a ghost's cultivation reached a certain level, its ghostly body would undergo certain characteristic changes, just like Ghost Slave Wu Qing's.
Wu Qing's face was fierce. It spoke slowly, like a devil crawling out of Hell, "Living person, your time to die has come."
The other ghosts let out cold, eerie laughter, like the wailing of ghosts and the howling of wolves. There were too many ghosts here, and the Evil Qi was extremely dense.
Chu Hao sneered and said, "A mere ghost dares to be arrogant before me? Are you all ready to die?"
Ghost Slave Wu Qing shouted, "You reckless fool! Tear his soul to shreds!"
The crowd of ghosts laughed chillingly as they surged forward. The spectacle was magnificent; even the moonlight was enveloped by the Ghost Qi. Even if an ancestral master from Mao Mountain were here, they would likely be overwhelmed.
Chu Hao said indifferently, "System, purchase Zhao Yun."
System: "Ghost General Zhao Yun, normal level, 500 Pretentiousness Points, Level 1."
System: "Ghost General Zhao Yun, medium level, 8,000 Pretentiousness Points, Level 5."
System: "Ghost General Zhao Yun, high level, 20,000 Pretentiousness Points, Level 9."
Chu Hao said, "Purchase the medium level."
"Ding! The Host has purchased the medium-level Zhao Yun, consuming 8,000 Pretentiousness Points. Remaining Pretentiousness Points: 200."
A silver-armored military general appeared. He wore a red cape, his handsome face sharply defined as if carved by a knife. He was very tall and imposing, majestic, holding a silver long spear and exuding an aura powerful enough to swallow mountains and rivers.
Zhao Zilong of Chang Mountain, a famous general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms era, and a legend even today.
Zhao Yun stomped his spear on the ground and declared, "I am Zhao Zilong of Chang Mountain!"
P.S. My favorite character has finally appeared! I wonder how many people are fans of the Three Kingdoms!!
