Chapter 213: Mantis that Speaks Fluent Japanese (Third Update)_1
What the hell, are you planning to make a run for it?
What about my mission then?
What about the Experience Points?
Chu Hao was somewhat puzzled by the little mantis's motives. It was their first time meeting, so why did it recognize him? And why was it so scared?
Chu Hao cleared his throat and said, "Come down. Let's have a good talk about life."
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis screamed in a shrill boy's voice, "Still using that trick! Don't think you can fool me. You'll never catch me!"
With that, the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis decided to leave, to get far away from this place.
Chu Hao became anxious. "Little mantis, don't go!"
The crowd: "..."
The group of people trembled with fear.
Oh my god!
Please, just let it go so we can all be saved!
Seeing the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis genuinely about to leave, Chu Hao truly panicked and hastily said, "Little mantis, you've got the wrong person! I'm not who you think I am!"
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis said angrily, "Still trying to trick me? If I fall for your tricks again, I'd truly be an idiot!"
How could this mantis be so human-like? Wasn't it sealed for over a hundred years?
Hmm... it must be those Ghost Servants around it. They knew quite a few modern words, and it adopted their vocabulary.
Chu Hao hurriedly said, "Wait a minute! I'm really not the person you're talking about. The Luo family ancestor you mentioned has long been dead."
Unexpectedly, the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis said coldly, "Luo family ancestor? What's he worth? If I hadn't been injured, could he have ever gotten the better of me?"
Chu Hao was puzzled. To convince it to stay, he said earnestly, "Think about it. Humans only live for seventy to eighty years. I'm so young; how could I possibly be the person you're referring to?"
The crowd was dumbfounded. If not for their fear of Chu Hao, they would have already cursed out loud.
To think there's actually such a person in this world.
Oh, heavens! Strike this guy with lightning and kill him!
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis's eyes lit up. "That makes sense. How can you prove it?"
Chu Hao hurriedly asked, "What's the name of the person you're talking about?"
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis gritted its teeth. "Chu Hao."
Chu Hao smiled. "My name is also Chu Hao."
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis screamed, "You still say you're not him?! BAKAYARO!"
Damn... this ghostly thing is even spouting Japanese.
Thinking about it, though, it's not strange since it's a ghost from Japan.
Chu Hao, with his hands behind his back, felt it necessary to teach the little mantis a lesson. "That's where you're wrong," he said. "Huaxia culture is profound and extensive. The 'Hao' in the name Chu Hao you're talking about means 'vast as the sky,' whereas mine is the 'Hao' with the three water radicals."
Upon hearing this, the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis felt there was some truth to it.
But it didn't let down its guard. "He has a rune mark on his left hand. Show me your hand."
Chu Hao held out his hand. Sure enough, there was no rune mark. The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis was puzzled. "Are you really not him?"
Chu Hao coughed. "I told you, you've got the wrong person."
"BAKAYARO! You actually deceived me! I'll eat you!" The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis was furious, shrieking as it dove.
Damn it! Is this ghostly thing brain-dead, getting angry out of sheer embarrassment?
Chu Hao slapped a Yellow Talisman onto the ground and chanted, "Six Armored Divine Spirit, subdue the demons and quell the evil, Emergency Wish-Granting Command!"
The Formation was instantly activated, and from all directions, several Talismans flew out, striking like sharp swords.
Reacting quickly, the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis swung its Mantis Claws vigorously, shattering several of the Talismans.
Chu Hao took out another Talisman and shouted, "Six Armored Divine Spirit, flood over Golden Mountain, subdue the demons and quell the evil, Emergency Wish-Granting Command!"
Behind Chu Hao, a wave nearly thirty feet high appeared, rolling towards the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis.
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis screeched as its mantis-blades fiercely slashed, ripping the wave in two.
This thing's strength is indeed formidable.
Damn it! If only there were time to set up the Formation properly, this Demon-Subduing Formation would have been much more powerful!
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis boasted, "Human, show me all your best moves! I'll give you a three-hundred-move handicap!"
F*CK!
Getting out-showboated by the enemy! Where does that leave the reputation of me, Divine Master Bi Wang, the King of Show-offs?
The crowd despaired. Chu Hao seemed to be no match for his opponent. Although the recent 'Flood Over Golden Mountain' was astounding, it was, at best, just a flashy trick.
Even Luo Yan and Fang Linxuan began to worry about Chu Hao.
Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanging as he boasted, "Little mantis, that was just a warm-up. When this Taoist Master truly makes a move, it will startle the heavens and make Ghost Gods weep! Do you think you can handle it?"
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis screeched, "If it were that person, I might be somewhat afraid. But you? Hmph! I'll eat you today!"
Swirling black qi around the mantis transformed into ferocious, ghostly skulls that rushed towards Chu Hao.
Chu Hao sneered and waved his hand. "Come out, Baby Diao Chan!"
Diao Chan appeared once again. Chu Hao had already opened everyone's Yin Yang Eyes, so they could all naturally see her.
In that instant, everyone was captivated by Diao Chan's beauty.
Diao Chan's entrance was stunningly beautiful. She wasn't alone; Ghost Dragon Qiu appeared with her.
Qiu was larger, now as thick as an arm, yet still looked no different from a black Loach. Chu Hao seriously doubted whether she was a Dragon or a Loach.
Qiu was incredibly fast, constantly slaughtering the Evil Ghosts. The power difference was immense; it was sheer carnage.
"DING! Pet Qiu has killed an Evil Ghost, gaining 5,000 Experience Points. Host gains 5,000 Experience Points."
"DING! Pet Qiu has killed an Evil Ghost, gaining 5,000 Experience Points. Host gains 5,000 Experience Points."
"DING! Pet Qiu has killed an Evil Ghost, gaining 5,000 Experience Points. Host gains 5,000 Experience Points."
"DING! Qiu has leveled up to Level 4."
Young Ghost Dragon: Qiu
Level: 4
Strength: 55
Agility: 55
Intelligence: 90
Abilities: (To be discovered)
Meanwhile, Diao Chan also charged forward, her beauty like that of an Immortal Celestial. A Yuan Pearl appeared in her delicate hand, which she hurled straight out.
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis dodged, flapping its wings with astounding speed.
Diao Chan seemed a bit flustered; her speed couldn't match its.
Fortunately, she could quickly condense Yuan Pearls in her hand and kept throwing them, managing to halt the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis.
Diao Chan said in surprise, "Master, this thing is too fast! I can't hit it at all."
If even Diao Chan couldn't hit it, this was indeed problematic.
Chu Hao took out the True Word Brush and declared, "Little mantis, stop your rampage! This Taoist Master will deal with you!"
He wrote the character "Lin" to lock down the area, aiming to control the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis and make it easier for Diao Chan to attack.
But he had underestimated the creature. Perhaps his cultivation level wasn't high enough. Despite spending 1,000 Mana Points, the "Lin" confinement Talisman he created was split apart by a single slash of the mantis's blade, which displayed astonishing power.
Damn! This is only an AC-grade Ghost and Monster; how can it be so powerful? Chu Hao felt like he had met his match for the first time.
"YO XI! Human, is this your technique? I'm going to eat both you and your Ghost Servants!" the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis said arrogantly.
That damn mantis. It really starts spouting Japanese at the slightest disagreement.
