Chu Hao looked up to the sky and howled, feeling incredibly powerful.
"I want to ask, who else is there?"
At his roar, the ghosts in front turned and fled, crying out in weird wails, terrified as they tried to escape.
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, earning 7 Pretentiousness Points."
Chu Hao pounced forward, his eyes sparkling with a greedy glint. "My pretties, don’t run!" he said. "Stand by and let this Taoist Master extinguish you one by one. I’m drooling; it’s all juicy Experience Points!"
The ghosts screamed in fear and scattered in every direction, making it seem as if Chu Hao were the real Evil Ghost.
As he chased them, suddenly, he heard a WHOOSH WHOOSH sound as a helicopter appeared. Light pierced through the windows, causing Chu Hao to squint instinctively. BANG BANG BANG! Glass shattered, and several people broke in.
"Move," a voice said coldly.
Three people came into view: two young men and a pretty girl with a ponytail. Upon seeing Sadako and the other two female ghosts, they pounced, using talismans to suppress them.
The three female ghosts, Sadako included, also got angry and started to fight back fiercely.
Chu Hao snapped back to reality and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"
Suddenly, an icy voice sounded from behind.
Chu Hao whirled around and saw a man with handsome features and silver-white hair, his deep eyes like a starlit sea, exuding a sinister yet handsome aura.
This guy, he’s so good-looking!
Feeling jealous, Chu Hao said, "I should be the one asking who you are! Stop fighting... or don’t blame me for being rude."
Disdain flickered in the silver-haired man’s eyes as he coldly said, "Oh, are you with the Nether Cult?"
Chu Hao replied, "What Nether Cult? Dog Cult, more like it! Tell your people to back off!"
Even though his three ghost servants, Sadako among them, weren’t afraid of them, they wouldn’t kill without Chu Hao’s orders.
Unexpectedly, the silver-haired, sinister-looking man drew a long sword and immediately attacked Chu Hao.
A thrust came at him, and Chu Hao was startled; the opponent’s sword was the real deal. He quickly raised his own sword to block.
Fortunately, the Cursed Peach Wood Sword was no ordinary weapon; a regular Peachwood Sword might have snapped.
Chu Hao grew angry as well and used the Beginner Shushan Sword Manual. After a few exchanges, he clearly felt at a disadvantage. The Beginner Shushan Sword Manual is no match for this opponent! he thought, internally shocked.
The silver-haired man remained aloof, using only seventy percent of his strength, wanting to see the true capabilities of the Nether Cult members.
But he was disappointed. Yes, truly disappointed. Though this person was very young and his swordsmanship extraordinary—quite impressive, indeed—he simply wasn’t interesting enough to make the silver-haired man exert his full power.
The silver-haired man looked at Chu Hao with cold contempt and said, "Since you’re with the Nether Cult, then go to hell."
His swordplay grew faster, forcing Chu Hao to retreat repeatedly.
A flash of sword light scarred Chu Hao’s cheek, drawing blood.
Chu Hao flew into a rage. "You want to kill me? You’re actually trying to kill me? Damn it... do I look like I’m easy to bully?"
System, purchase the Intermediate Shushan Sword Manual, he thought.
"DING... Host has purchased the Intermediate Shushan Sword Manual, spending 100 Pretentiousness Points."
"DING... Host has learned the Intermediate Shushan Sword Manual, gaining 400 Mana Points."
Chu Hao immediately felt his sword manual had been strengthened. He furiously said, "Don’t think you’re all that just because you have silver hair. Your kind? If I saw you on the street, I’d beat you up eight times a day until your own mother wouldn’t recognize you."
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, received 7 Pretentiousness Points."
The silver-haired man was furious; it had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him this way. In his eyes, Chu Hao was already a dead man.
"You’re courting death!"
He decided to go all out, ready to kill this man with one strike. Few dared to insult him; Chu Hao would definitely be one of the dead.
Sparks flew as his sword was knocked aside.
Immediately after, Chu Hao demonstrated even more exquisite swordsmanship than before, effortlessly striking the man’s handsome cheek hard with the flat of his sword.
"You!" His cheek stung from the slap, the corner of his mouth bleeding; the silver-haired man was stunned for a moment.
The others fighting the Ghost Servants were also stunned.
Chu Hao sneered, "When I was playing with swords, you were still just a drop of liquid. With your level of swordplay, I could teach you a lesson with a toothpick. Don’t argue! I’m just that awesome, explosively awesome."
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, received 7 Pretentiousness Points."
It was clear the silver-haired man was shocked, while Chu Hao felt incredibly satisfied.
The silver-haired man trembled with unprecedented fury, attacking wildly.
However, no matter how he attacked, against the formidable Intermediate Shushan Sword Manual, he was nothing more than a child wielding a sword, aside from having a slightly better physique than Chu Hao.
"Watch closely. This time, I’m aiming for your left cheek."
The silver-haired man was slapped again, his lungs nearly bursting with anger.
"This time, for your right cheek."
Chu Hao cautioned, "Watch out for your crotch!!" fre/ew.ebnovel.c om
The silver-haired man’s face turned green. If that vulnerable spot got hit, wouldn’t he be sent to meet the Three Pure Ones?
The silver-haired man hurriedly covered himself.
However, Chu Hao just watched him with a gleeful look and didn’t move, saying, "Just kidding with you. Don’t take it so seriously."
The silver-haired man rarely cursed, but what he yelled next came from deep within his soul, a furious roar: "FUCK YOUR ANCESTORS!!"
All along, I’ve considered myself a swordsmanship genius, but now I’ve met my match—someone several times stronger than me! Just a moment ago, I looked down on him, but in the next instant, his swordsmanship improved dramatically! It’s enough to make anyone despair! So, you’ve been playing me for a fool all this time?
Chu Hao’s face darkened. "I held back earlier to give you face," he said. "Since you insist on being shameless, don’t blame this Taoist Master."
Fear washed over him, a feeling of utter powerlessness. This guy... he’s even worse than an Evil Ghost!
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, received 7 Pretentiousness Points."
"I’ll smack you! And smack you again!"
Soon after, the silver-haired man’s face was swollen, his handsome features transformed into those of Pig Head Brother.
Chu Hao looked towards where his Ghost Servants were fighting and said angrily, "And you lot, do you really think my Ghost Servants can’t beat you? Take a good look at yourselves! Did you think this tiger wouldn’t show its claws, that I’m some sick kitten? Sadako, give them a roar!"
Sadako took a deep breath and let out a shrill Subsonic Wave.
The three intruders were aghast, as was the silver-haired man. He desperately covered his ears, but it was futile; his head throbbed, his vision swam, and he nearly passed out.
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, received 7 Pretentiousness Points."
These four were utterly subdued, filled only with shock and terror. In this state, they were lambs to the slaughter.
Jiayeci’s hair swiftly bound the four of them like giant rice dumplings.
Chu Hao walked over, patted the silver-haired man’s swollen cheek, and said, "Talk. Why did you attack me?"
The four were petrified with fear. Who exactly is this person? they wondered.
