Chapter 35: Ch35 Ghost General Diao Chan_1

The chubby fellow’s eyes bulged as he fell to the ground, stiff as a board.

Old Yuan, clutching his wound, stood up angrily. "So it was the Nether Cult’s doing that brought forth the Nine-infant Ghost! Who exactly are you?"

Douli Man replied coldly, "You’re not qualified to know who I am. Besides... there’s no need for you to know, since you’re all going to die today."

Everyone felt despair. Could it be that they were all truly going to die here today?

Old Yuan clenched his teeth and took out a glass bead shimmering with purple light. "If there’s no way out, then let’s die together!"

"The Thunder Killing Bead!" Douli Man exclaimed, finally showing dread.

"If you want to go down together, we will oblige," Old Yuan declared, ready to face death.

Douli Man hesitated for a moment. "Fine, I’ll spare you all for today."

Old Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and so did everyone else. Although they loathed Douli Man, surviving an encounter with someone so powerful was already quite a feat.

Suddenly, a voice came from the darkness in the distance. "Hey there, the moment this Taoist Master arrives, you want to leave? Are you slighting me?" _{f.r(e)e\webn.ovel.co\m}

Chu Hao walked out from the dark and jumped in fright when he saw the extremely bloody Nine-infant Ghost.

Old Yuan was on the verge of collapse. They had barely managed to scare off Douli Man, and now who is this? Does he want all of us to die here?

Douli Man turned, glanced at Chu Hao, and said coldly, "Another blind fool. Very well, the Thunder Killing Bead is formidable, but killing me with it is still impossible. So... you all must die."

Despair overwhelmed Old Yuan, Song Lou, and the others.

Chu Hao heard this. This guy’s even better at posturing than I am! He instantly became angry. "Is this Taoist Master someone who scares easily? A piece of trash like you? This Taoist Master can end your life with a single finger. Who do you think you are?"

"Ding... Host has successfully postured, gaining 7 Pretentiousness Points."

Douli Man grew furious. A Talisman Paper appeared in his hand. "You want to die first?" he said coldly. "Then I shall grant your wish."

The Talisman Paper ignited, and a monster walked out from the darkness, its body reeking of corpses and exuding terrifying pressure.

It was two meters tall, its body rotting, with a mouthful of sharp fangs. Blood-red pupils, and blade-like fingernails, sharp and long.

Old Yuan cried out, his voice shaking, "A Drought Fiend!!"

The group was filled with utter despair. This man actually possessed a Drought Fiend; he was unequivocally a master from the Nether Cult. They were doomed.

Chu Hao also jumped but suddenly remembered something. He pointed at Douli Man. "So, it’s you."

The Douli Man Li Qingmei and the twins spoke of, accompanied by a Thousand-year Drought Demon—it couldn’t be anyone else!

Douli Man replied coldly, "You know me?"

Chu Hao dug in his ear. "A minor character like you isn’t worthy of recognition by this Taoist Master. When I became sworn brothers with the Grandmaster of the Three Pure Ones, you were still just a droplet of liquid."

"Ding... Host has successfully postured, gaining 7 Pretentiousness Points."

Old Yuan, Song Lou, and the other person were about to lose it.

Is this guy serious? Claiming to be sworn brothers with the Grandmaster of the Three Pure Ones?

Chu Hao has no chance of winning, Song Lou thought. The opponent is far too powerful, not even in the same league.

Douli Man was utterly enraged. "Kill him!" he ordered.

Chu Hao snapped his fingers. "Let him try."

Three female Ghosts rushed forward. After the previous fight, Sadako, Jiayeci, and Chu Beauty had become very powerful. They lunged into battle without hesitation.

Old Yuan was dumbfounded. The strength of the three Ghost Servants sent chills down his spine.

Suddenly, the Nine-infant Ghost broke free from the Yang Blood Net and lunged at Chu Hao.

"Unlucky Ghost, is this your mother?" Chu Hao asked.

The Unlucky Ghost replied fearfully, "Mother has been possessed."

"Fine," Chu Hao said. "Watch this Taoist Master exterminate it."

A black Five Thunders Roar Talisman appeared in his hand. Each one cost 10 Pretentiousness Points, so its power went without saying.

He activated the Five Thunders Roar Talisman. Black lightning, ostentatiously powerful, appeared in his palm, and he fiercely slapped it forward.

Clearly, the Nine-infant Ghost’s intelligence wasn’t as high as the twin sisters’. The moment it lunged forward, it was blown away by a massive force, five of its eight heads instantly obliterated!

Old Yuan, Song Lou, and Douli Man were dumbstruck.

"Ding... Host’s shocking posture was successful, earning 20 Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao was startled. It’s still not dead?

As expected of a nefarious ghost, even a Talisman worth 10 Pretentiousness Points couldn’t kill it. But it’s almost done for; one more hit will surely finish it off.

Chu Hao activated his posturing mode and said calmly, "Not bad. To withstand this Taoist Master’s weakest Five Thunders Roar Talisman... as a nefarious ghost, you are quite exceptional. However! This Taoist Master has ten thousand more Talismans like this one."

"Ding... Host’s profound posturing earned 20 Pretentiousness Points."

Twenty Pretentiousness Points, huh? That was a nice round of posturing.

Old Yuan and the others gasped. The weakest Five Thunders Roar Talisman!

Damn... He has ten thousand of those Talismans!!

Douli Man was also startled. Is he bluffing?

Douli Man was obviously wary but still said, "You damaged my Nine-infant Ghost. You deserve to die."

He formed a seal with both hands and slapped a Yellow Talisman onto the Thousand-year Drought Demon. The demon roared—a sound not human, but monstrous. Its strength surged instantly, forcing Sadako and her two companion Ghost Servants to retreat.

Seeing this, Chu Hao became enraged. "Do you really think this Taoist Master is afraid of you?"

After buying the Intermediate Shushan Sword Manual, he still had 200 Pretentiousness Points left. He opened the System store.

Ghost Lady Diaochan: The foremost beauty of the Three Kingdoms era, whose harp skills shocked the world, requires 500 Pretentiousness Points.

Holy crap!!

Still short 300 Pretentiousness Points! I really want to buy her.

Chu Hao pleaded, "System, can I owe the Pretentiousness Points for now? I want to buy Diaochan."

System: "Pretentiousness Support Program. The higher the Host’s level, the greater the support. At Level 9, this program can grant 500 Pretentiousness Points. If you activate it now, you’ll receive 300 Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao was thrilled. I love you, System!

Chu Hao said, "Activate the Pretentiousness Support Program."

"Ding... Pretentiousness Support Program initiated. Host receives 300 Pretentiousness Points."

"Haha... Come forth, Diaochan!"

"Ding... Host has purchased Ghost Lady Diaochan, consuming 500 Pretentiousness Points. Remaining Pretentiousness Points: 0."

Although his Pretentiousness Points were now zero, Chu Hao didn’t mind at all because, immediately after, a woman who looked like an Immortal Celestial appeared, stunning everyone.

Diaochan gracefully landed. Her petite face and exquisite features were complemented by delicate, fair skin as smooth as sheep’s milk curds. Her brows hinted at the vitality of spring, and her cherry lips, naturally red without adornment, were radiant and enticing. A few strands of hair swayed gently in the wind, adding a seductive charm.

Her ample bosom threatened to burst her garments. Her white legs were long and slim, and her waist so slender it looked as if it could be encircled by a single hand. Her beauty was so otherworldly; she seemed not to subsist on the fare of the Human World.

Diaochan, the foremost beauty of the Three Kingdoms era, was still as beautiful as an Immortal Celestial even as a Ghost.

"This servant greets Master," Diaochan said.

Diaochan bowed slightly to Chu Hao, her eyes, full of amorous charm, fixed on him.

One couldn’t help but feel the urge to pounce on her instantly.

For Chu Hao, Diaochan was the ultimate beauty. Her allure was heavenly; her aura, looks, and figure surpassed all the women he had ever seen.
