Ghost Catching System-Chapter 719 - 718 Overbearing_1
Li Yin was so scared he almost wet himself; this was an instinctive human fear.
Countless zombies, their speed and strength far surpassing ordinary ones, were each a bloodthirsty and ferocious demon.
Chu Hao gathered the True Qi within his body and roared, "All of you, get lost!"
The True Qi, amplified by his furious roar, sent ripples in all directions. The people behind him instinctively covered their ears as their heads buzzed.
A dumbfounding sight occurred: the densely packed zombies charging at them suddenly froze, their bodies trembling uncontrollably!
Even some of the weaker zombies collapsed, falling unconscious.
"Ding... The host has displayed an overbearing demeanor, earning 4,000 Pretentiousness Points."
The black-robed people snapped back to reality, their eyes wide with shock. Even the Zombie King was on alert, realizing the human before them was no easy target.
What a joke!
Chu Hao was now in the high-level Foundation Building realm, possessing robust True Qi in his body, far beyond ordinary Inner Strength and Yang Energy.
With a single roar, all zombies within a thousand-meter radius stopped in their tracks. This left the black-robed people in a panic; they had never expected Chu Hao to be so formidable.
Chu Hao stepped forward, exuding an overwhelming dominance like a heaven-shocking war deity. He said coldly, "I don't care who you are or what backing you have. You dared to harm so many people in Huaxia."
"You!"
"Will!"
"Die!"
"For sure!"
The nearby Wooden Drought Fiend trembled violently with excitement. It always felt a surge of Chu Hao's overwhelming aura when near him.
"ROAR."
The Wooden Drought Fiend roared, unleashing its oppressive aura, causing the zombies to scatter even further.
Like a tank, the Wooden Drought Fiend charged toward the black-robed crowd.
The black-robed people were terrified, their overconfidence shattered. They had assumed the zombie horde would overwhelm Chu Hao, never imagining he would be so powerful.
The Golden Drought Evil Spirit drew the woodcutting knife from its waist, which transformed into a golden blade, and charged at the Zombie King.
In a dark corner, the Ghost Sacrificer trembled, growling, "How can this be? Just how strong is he? How strong?"
During their time at King Chu's Tomb, the Ghost Offering Clan had nearly faced extinction. They had hoped that with the ensuing chaos, the Ghost Worship Clan could rise, only to be thwarted by the Descendants of King Chu.
The Ghost Sacrificer was unwilling to accept this, but the sight of the two terrifying Drought Fiends made his hair stand on end.
"Go!" Without another word, the Ghost Sacrificer ordered a retreat.
In the pitch-black night, others hidden in shadowy corners also began to withdraw.
With his keen senses, Chu Hao noticed the Ghost Sacrificer. His awareness spread in all directions, instantly locking onto the Ghost Sacrificer's escape route.
"Trying to leave now? Do you think I'm just a decoration?"
Chu Hao took a single step, covering dozens of yards in an instant. In mere seconds, he caught up with the Ghost Sacrificer and his followers, blocking their path.
The Ghost Sacrificer and his followers were horrified. They stopped in their tracks, and the Ghost Sacrificer exclaimed, "You! How did you find me?"
Chu Hao didn't bother responding to the Ghost Sacrificer; there was nothing left to say.
A gleaming long knife appeared in Chu Hao's hand. He took a step forward, and the bright blade sliced through the night. The head of the person closest to the Ghost Sacrificer flew into the air.
"PFFT!"
Blood sprayed three feet high, and the corpse fell stiffly to the ground.
The others were scared out of their wits. They knew Chu Hao was not to be trifled with and realized they must have been insane to try and ambush this Killing Star. Now, regret consumed them.
One of them lost his composure completely and knelt, pleading, "Spare me! Spare my life, please!" Soon, he was joined by three or four others, all crying and begging for mercy.
These were leaders of heretical sects who secretly raised ghosts and nurtured corpses, cultivating Evil Techniques. Countless innocent lives had been taken by their hands.
Chu Hao looked at the Ghost Sacrificer, his brow furrowed slightly. "Why does your aura feel familiar?"
The Ghost Sacrificer shuddered. His clan's Evil Technique involved devouring souls, similar to Possession, which was usually difficult to detect. Could Chu Hao have discovered he was a member of the Ghost Offering Clan?
The Ghost Sacrificer trembled. "You've mistaken me for someone else."
Chu Hao slapped him, sending the Ghost Sacrificer flying. The pain was intense.
"Who are you?" Chu Hao stepped on the Ghost Sacrificer's face, the man's bones creaking under the pressure.
Seeing this, the others thought of fleeing. Chu Hao didn't even glance at them, saying indifferently, "Anyone who takes another step forward will lose a leg. After that, they'll lose their fifth limb."
They all shuddered, not daring to move, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
Chu Hao stared at the Ghost Sacrificer, the familiarity of his aura unsettling. With his blade at the man's neck, he asked, "Who are you? Your aura is very familiar. We've met before."
The Ghost Sacrificer didn't dare reveal his identity. There had been two Ghost Sacrificers at King Chu's Tomb; Chu Hao had killed one, and this one had led his clansmen to escape the ancient tomb. If he died now, the Ghost Worship Clan would be doomed.
The Ghost Sacrificer was also bewildered. Back at King Chu's Tomb, Chu Hao's strength had only been enough to contend with the other Ghost Sacrificer. How much time had passed since then?
Before Chu Hao, he had absolutely no power to resist.
"I... I..." The Ghost Sacrificer stammered, unable to speak.
Chu Hao wasted no more words. A swing of his blade dismembered one of the Ghost Sacrificer's arms. Blood spurted like a fountain, and the Ghost Sacrificer screamed in agony.
The others didn't dare to breathe too loudly; Chu Hao was simply too ferocious.
The abilities of the Ghost Offering Clan were impressive, but after Possession, their souls and bodies completely fused, so the pain from the blade was excruciatingly real.
Chu Hao said, "It doesn't matter if you don't speak."
Chu Hao prepared to end his life.
Suddenly, the Ghost Sacrificer's mouth opened wide, and a swarm of tiny insects flew out, heading straight for Chu Hao.
But his every move was under Chu Hao's scrutiny. The instant he spat out the insects, Chu Hao's fist was already thundering toward him.
The Ghost Sacrificer's head exploded.
"Ding... Killed the Ghost Sacrificer. Gained 500,000 Experience Points."
"Ding... The Ghost Sacrificer dropped a Diamond Treasure Chest. Added to inventory."
Hearing the System notifications, Chu Hao was visibly taken aback. This guy was actually the Ghost Sacrificer, the Leader of the Ghost Offering Clan!
To think I'd been searching high and low for him, only for him to fall right into my lap. This unlucky fellow certainly met his doom by encountering me.
He had been constantly searching for the Ghost Offering Clan. The grudge between King Chu and their clan spanned thousands of years, and Chu Hao worried they would try to harm him secretly. They were incredibly hard to find, yet today, he had killed their leader.
After killing the Ghost Sacrificer, Chu Hao turned to the remaining cultists.
"Spare us, spare us!"
"Don't kill us! We're willing to do anything!"
Chu Hao paid them no mind. These people had sacrificed the lives of 360,000 individuals merely to obtain the Corpse Evil Pearl. They had reached a level of utter depravity.
With a swing of his blade, all six heads flew from their shoulders.
Meanwhile, the Wooden Drought Fiend had dealt with the other black-robed figures. The Golden Drought Evil Spirit was still locked in a fierce battle with the Zombie King. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
It was clear the Zombie King possessed considerable strength, having been capable of transforming so many people. As the Human World gradually revived, the Zombie King's power had increased tenfold.
However, when the Golden Drought Evil Spirit and the Wooden Drought Fiend joined forces, the Zombie King finally buckled under the assault and was soundly defeated.
Chu Hao ordered, "Absorb its Evil Qi, but leave the finishing blow to me."
The Golden Drought Evil Spirit and Wooden Drought Fiend were overjoyed and redoubled their efforts. The unlucky Zombie King was quickly subdued by the two Drought Fiends, who began to absorb the Corpse Evil Energy from its body.
