"BOOM!" Not far away, the rainbow bridge erupted in chaos. Four or five Ghost Guardians were blasted away, and seven or eight Ghost Officiants were pulling on iron chains, grappling with a gigantic creature.
Chu Hao looked over and was immediately astonished.
Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis!
Then, the Judge cursed, "Even a pesky mantis smuggled from the Dwarf Kingdom dares to be insolent! Shove it into Hell."
But this mantis from the Dwarf Kingdom was very strong; even the Ghost Officiants and Ghost Guardians were blasted away. It roared wildly, expressing its anger.
Upon a closer look, Chu Hao touched his nose. So it *was* the little Dwarf Kingdom mantis I killed.
The Five Wicked Ghosts asked, "That is the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis, a creature from the Dwarf Kingdom. How did it end up in our Underworld?"
Chu Hao said indifferently, "You're talking about that thing? It committed numerous atrocities. I just happened to pass by and took care of it."
The three Ghost Officiants accompanying the Five Wicked Ghosts shuddered and looked at Chu Hao in surprise.
Although the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis was also a Top-level Xuan Sha Ghost, its strength was indeed formidable, equivalent to the strength of three to five ordinary Ghost Officiants.
Chu Hao asked, "What's the plan for this little mantis?"
The Five Wicked Ghosts said with a troubled expression, "Because it's a creature from the Dwarf Kingdom, it will probably be sent to the Country of Netherworld, as per the agreements between Underworlds."
Chu Hao cursed, "This little Dwarf Kingdom mantis killed so many Huaxia souls, and it's still being sent to the Country of Netherworld? This Underworld agreement is utter bullshit!"
The three Ghost Officiants of the Five Wicked Ghosts were also indignant. They, too, were very unhappy with the Country of Netherworld.
What could be done? Creatures from the Dwarf Kingdom had such a Netherworld protection agreement!
The viewers in the live streaming room, upon hearing the Ghost Officiants' words, were also indignant.
Wang Meng: "Damn it! What's with this Dwarf Kingdom and its Country of Netherworld, acting so arrogantly?"
Li Yin: "Brother Hao, take it down!"
Luo Yan: "Chu Quick Feet, take it down!"
Calls to take down the Dwarf Kingdom mantis erupted in the live streaming room, with various tips flashing across the screen.
Qin Boren: "Support Master Chu in taking it down? Starting with a tip of ten million Live Streaming Coins!"
"Qin Boren tipped the host one million Live Streaming Coins."
"Qin Boren tipped the host one million Live Streaming Coins."
Chu Hao smiled faintly, saying, "Don't worry. This little Dwarf Kingdom mantis won't be able to escape."
With that, he walked toward the Dwarf Kingdom mantis.
"ROAR! ROAR! Heavenly Master Chu is mighty and domineering!"
"Take down the Dwarf Kingdom mantis! How dare it act so arrogantly in our Huaxia Underworld! Take it down!"
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis, in its soul state, was still struggling. It had injured two or three Ghost Officiants and Ghost Guardians, its arrogance unmatched.
The Dwarf Kingdom mantis arrogantly proclaimed, "Your Huaxia Underworld has no right to judge me! Hurry up and send this Sovereign back to the Country of Netherworld!"
A Ghost Officiant cursed, "Damn! This blasted mantis is too arrogant!"
A Ghost Guardian with a tiger's head and a human body said, "The emissary from the Country of Netherworld has already issued a judgment. The little mantis is to be sent back."
At that moment, the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis saw Chu Hao approaching, and its eyes bulged in shock.
How could the little mantis have anticipated Chu Hao appearing here?
As the saying goes, when enemies cross paths, their hatred burns even brighter. The little mantis immediately let out a ferocious howl.
"Hahaha! To think you're here! Heaven helps me! I will shatter your soul!"
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis broke free from the iron chains, its wings flickering as it flew toward him at incredible speed.
The other Ghost Officiants and Ghost Guardians' faces changed color.
Chu Hao gave a cold smile. The Night Demon Blade appeared in his hand, emitting a chilling blade light as he pounced forward. The long blade clashed with the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis's Mantis Claws.
As a result, one of the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis's Mantis Claws was chopped off with a slash, causing it to shriek in pain.
Indeed, the Night Demon Blade was razor-sharp. Its most distinctive feature was that it constantly consumed Mana Points when held, enhancing its ability to cut through Ghost Qi. It was utterly domineering.
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis was in agony, and the pain to its soul body was a hundredfold greater. Its massive body reeled back as it exclaimed, "Damn it! How... how have you become so powerful?"
Brandishing the long blade, Chu Hao sneered, "Little mantis, when we were in the Yang Realm, this Taoist Master was just toying with you. And you actually took it seriously!"
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis let out a resentful roar. "Impossible! I will devour you!"
"Still daring to be arrogant! I'll slay you again."
The Night Demon Blade morphed, becoming two long blades, majestic and brimming with dominance.
Like a hurricane, he slashed with his dual blades. With a flash of blade light, the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis howled miserably as its chest was cleaved open, and it disintegrated into dust and ashes.
"Ding... Slaying the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis has earned you eight hundred thousand Experience Points."
Chu Hao said in surprise, "No way? Alive, it was worth two million Experience Points. Why only eight hundred thousand now?"
System: "Last time was a mission reward; this time it is not."
No wonder. It was just good luck encountering a mission reward back then. With my increased strength, the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis has become mere trash to me.
Chu Hao sheathed his long blade and addressed the live stream, "This little Dwarf Kingdom mantis is truly too boring. Bring me ten thousand of them, and this Taoist Master could extinguish them all."
"Ding... Host has successfully shown off, gaining 500 Pretentiousness Points."
The live streaming room exploded with a barrage of '666's flooding the screen.
In the distance, the Ghost Officiants and Ghost Guardians were startled. Who was this person?
However, with the death of the little mantis, the Ghost Officiants felt delighted. It served the mantis right for being so arrogant in the Underworld.
The Five Wicked Ghosts wiped the cold sweat from their brows. This master is too fierce! Thankfully, we reacted quickly, or our souls would have been scattered!
Approaching, the Five Wicked Ghosts said, "Heavenly Master, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the envoy from the Country of Netherworld?"
Chu Hao sneered coldly. "Why should I, a living person, fear him? What 'envoy' from the Country of Netherworld? If he dares, let him come to me. I, the Taoist Master, will send him to meet the Buddha Ancestor in the Western Paradise."
Indeed, Chu Hao dared to do so because he was not from the Underworld.
After Chu Hao dealt with the little mantis, the surrounding Ghost Officiants began to look at him differently. They were certain he was a significant figure, and many guessed that Chu Hao came from 'above.'
Looking down into the depths of the Netherworld, Chu Hao knew that Hell must lie below.
From a distance, some Ghost Officiants respectfully said, "We greet Lord Impermanence." ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel·fire.net
White Impermanence arrived, his hands behind his back. Just as in the legends, he wore a smile wherever he went.
System notification: White Impermanence, Ghost General Level.
White Impermanence is actually a Ghost General!
On reflection, it made sense. Black and White Impermanence were known to everyone. As the most famous Soul Hooking Ghost Messengers in the Underworld, their reputation was immense, so it wasn't surprising that he was a Ghost General.
White Impermanence walked over, his long tongue lolling out, and looked at Chu Hao, saying, "Are you the living person who intruded into the Ghost Gate Pass?"
White Impermanence was quite tall, around two meters, imposing a sense of oppression.
This was a Ghost General level being. It wasn't the first Chu Hao had encountered; Baxia, slain by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, had also been at the Ghost General Level.
The live streaming room was abuzz. They were actually seeing White Impermanence, a legendary Ghost Officiant!
With a faint smile, Chu Hao replied, "I've long heard of your great name. I didn't 'intrude'; I merely wanted to see what the Underworld was like."
White Impermanence snorted coldly, his long tongue still lolling as he spoke, "Kid, you've got guts. Do you think the Underworld is a place for a living person like you to come and go as you please?"
"Why can't I come?" Chu Hao retorted.
White Impermanence was momentarily speechless. Indeed! Why couldn't a living person come to the Underworld? As long as one has the ability, anyone can come. No one can control that.
At that moment, White Impermanence caught sight of Diao Chan. His eyes practically turned into two hearts, and drool flowed down his tongue. "So... so cute."
