Chapter 922: Chapter 920: Picking a Fight
Chu Hao felt a headache coming on; this Corpse Monster was terrifying, probably only someone at Xiang Yu or Lǚ Bù’s level could deal with it.
"Shili Sword."
Chu Hao unleashed the Shili Sword, which was incredibly fast, but alas, it couldn’t break through the opponent’s defense—only leaving some sword marks on the robust body.
"Even Shili Sword is useless, this thing is too tough."
Chu Hao said, "System, I want to kill it, is there any item you recommend?"
System: "With the host’s current strength, it’s recommended to enhance the Yin Yang True Solution and learn Qiankun Douling Technique."
System continued: "Recommend the host to purchase a one-time item, Formless Thunderbolt Talisman, for 150,000 Pretentiousness Points per piece.
Chu Hao’s mouth twitched, saying, "Forget it then."
He was waiting to use the remaining Pretentiousness Points to learn Yin Yang True Solution.
But various abilities were useless against it.
The Second-Stage Power-type Corpse Monster sneered and said, "Is that all you’ve got? Once I get out, I’ll tear you apart."
"Damn it! Look down on Brother Hao, huh? Believe it or not, I’ll crush you in minutes," Chu Hao yelled, jumping in anger.
At that moment, from the Void, an Underworld Expert couldn’t help but remind, "It’s about to come out."
Chu Hao shivered all over.
"We’ll meet again, mountains remain, rivers flow long. I’ll let you go today; this Taoist Master has other things to do, bye."
Chu Hao took off running.
Pretended and ran, so damn exciting.
"Oww!"
Behind him, the large Corpse Monster roared in rage, not wanting to see Chu Hao escape—it was infuriated.
"Hmph!"
The Underworld Expert snorted coldly, casting spells again.
Then, a Second-Stage Taoist Corpse spoke up, "Stop that living one, there’s a heavy reward."
Countless Corpse Monsters heard and charged forward screeching.
Behind, another Second-Stage Power-type Corpse Monster appeared, targeting Chu Hao again.
Chu Hao ran even faster.
However, he finally escaped to the main force and breathed a sigh of relief, never daring to go out again, as he had become a thorn in the side of the army of Corpse Monsters.
The battle lasted for a long time.
Finally, in the depths of the Land of the Vast Ancient, the Equal King and Foreign Ghost’s battle also came to an end.
The Equal King returned with injuries.
An Underworld Expert asked, "Yanjun, are you alright?"
The Equal King snorted coldly, looking into the depths and said, "What could be the matter, Feng Mo isn’t doing much better."
The White-haired Old Man asked, "Yanjun, what is the purpose of Feng Mo’s attack this time?"
The Equal King looked sullen and felt passive, saying, "For now, it’s unknown."
The battle was over.
On the city wall, Chu Hao saw a group of weak Corpse Monsters appear, carrying back the corpses of Netherworld Soldiers and Ghost Cultivators to the depths.
Chu Hao was surprised, saying, "What are the Corpse Monsters doing?"
A Ghost Cultivator next to him looked at Chu Hao and said, "They’re collecting corpses, those Corpse Monsters are called corpse-picking Ghosts."
Collecting corpses, what are they taking them back for?
White Impermanence walked over excitedly, saying, "Brother Chu, you were amazing."
Chu Hao waved his hand, saying, "White brother, you’re exaggerating, it’s nothing."
"No, no! You’ve made great contributions."
After chatting with White Impermanence for a while.
He learned that after every battle, corpse-picking Ghosts would appear and collect the bodies, but what they were used for remained unknown.
Perhaps only the higher-ups in the Underworld knew.
Speaking of Corpse Monsters, White Impermanence said a few things, just now the Second-Stage Power-type Corpse Monster had immense strength, not something ordinary people could handle.
This type of Corpse Monster could shatter a mountain peak, jump a hundred meters, and its body is as tough as steel and stone, very powerful.
This level of Corpse Monster had only been seen on large battlefields.
The Second-Stage Taoist Corpse was even more terrifying, capable of casting various vicious forms of magic, the power of a single Second-Stage Taoist Corpse could wipe out the forces of ten thousand Netherworld Soldiers.
Chu Hao asked, "Are there Third-Order Corpse Monsters?"
White Impermanence said, "I’ve heard of them, but never seen them on the battlefield, however! forces from the Netherworld Palace have ventured into the depths and reported seeing Third-Order Corpse Monsters, they very likely are the true forms of Foreign Ghosts."
Third-Order Corpse Monster, a Foreign Ghost!
This is just a saying, whether it’s true or not is uncertain.
In the distance, a group of Netherworld Soldiers came forward, emitting fierce Ghost Qi.
These Netherworld Soldiers were different from others; they wore black, ferocious-looking masks, and their armor was intact.
"Move aside."
The Netherworld Soldiers opened the way, and Ghost Cultivators could only step aside.
A Ghost Cultivator muttered, "That’s General Feng Xian’s guard."
White Impermanence’s face changed, and he whispered, "Brother Chu, leave here quickly, General Lǚ Bù has set his sights on you."
Chu Hao cursed inwardly, Lǚ Bù was indeed petty.
Chu Hao turned to leave.
"Stop!"
A Netherworld Soldier pointed at Chu Hao.
Couldn’t leave, Chu Hao halted and said, "What is it!"
The Netherworld Soldier shouted sternly, "Living man, how dare you trespass into the Underworld unauthorized? Who gave you such courage? Arrest him and take him back."
A group of Netherworld Soldiers appeared, surrounding Chu Hao, their lowest strength at the Ghost King level.
White Impermanence hurriedly said, "Please calm down, this person is my friend."
But the Netherworld Soldier Leader didn’t give White Impermanence any face, saying, "White Impermanence, you’ve secretly let a person from the Yang Realm into the Underworld, you’re guilty too, your crime will be handled by Lord Yanjun."
White Impermanence’s smiling face turned increasingly grim.
Even though he was the Underworld’s top Ghost Officiant, Feng Xian’s personal guards wouldn’t give him any face.
Moreover, what crime had Chu Hao committed!
Since ancient times, many capable people have come from the Yang Realm to handle matters in the Yin Realm, and have even cooperated with the Underworld’s Ghost Officiants. Chu Hao wasn’t the first.
It seemed Lǚ Bù was targeting Chu Hao.
An official one rank higher crushes others—a saying that exactly applied to White Impermanence being overshadowed by Lǚ Bù.
Nonetheless, it was turbulent times, he, a Ghost Officiant, couldn’t compare with Lǚ Bù.
Chu Hao, however, remained calm, thinking in the worst case, he’d return to the Yang Realm. Could they follow and come?
"System, purchase Yang Realm Altar."
System: "Reminder, the Yang Realm Altar can’t be used, the Ghost Gate Pass is closed, unless you open the Ghost Gate Pass."
Damn!
No way!
Putting me through this!
Indeed, the Ghost Gate Pass was key to entering the Underworld, when he came, it was already closed, anyone wanting to leave had to go through it.
Chu Hao looked grim, saying, "Is there no other way?"
System: "Recommend host to purchase Traveling Yin-Yang Realm Altar, costing 100,000 Pretentiousness Points."
Originally, it could be settled for 30,000 Pretentiousness Points, now requiring 100,000 Pretentiousness Points. He thought, Lǚ Bù, you just wait.
White Impermanence had no suggestions either, he whispered, "You go with them first, I’ll find someone to save you."
Chu Hao replied, "Thanks, but do I fear them?"
White Impermanence was shocked.
Chu Hao coldly said, "You bunch of Netherworld Soldiers, if you want to take me down, come try."
Chu Hao prepared to take down a few Netherworld Soldiers, earn a wave before heading back.
Feng Xian’s guards were about to make a move.
"Stop."
A voice rang with authority.
All the Netherworld Soldiers froze, that single stop made them unable to move!
"Lord Miao!" White Impermanence hastily bowed.
Chu Hao looked at the speaker; it was none other than the Underworld Expert who helped him trap the large Corpse Monster earlier!
Lord Miao waved his hand and presented a command, saying, "General Nanweng Wafu’s order."
The Netherworld Soldiers, Ghost Cultivators, and White Impermanence all kneeled on one knee.
