Chapter 216: In the Blink of an Eye, the Little Insect is Reduced to Ashes_1
Of course, the little mantis's 'One-Way Street' wasn't the kind of 'one-way street' from the Dwarf Kingdom's adult films. Its two Mantis Claws glowed with a fiery red light, slashing like scissors.
"AH!" Ma Gaoshan screamed as his body was cleaved in two. He couldn't block the blow at all.
Everyone was shocked. The 'One-Way Street' skill was actually that formidable!
Niu Liushui shrieked, her pupils turning blood-red. That was her beloved, and he had just been cut in two! Her anger reached its peak.
Just then, Chu Hao grabbed Ma Gaoshan's bisected body, turned tail, and ran, roaring, "Sister-in-law, focus on the fight! I'll take care of Big Brother Ma!"
Niu Liushui was touched. She flew into a rage, and the Ghost-whipping Whip in her hand turned crimson. The whip, glowing like fire-forged steel, lashed out furiously. This attack consumed a vast amount of her spiritual prowess.
Meanwhile, Chu Hao, still carrying the two halves of Ma Gaoshan's body, reached the edge of the battlefield.
Touched, Ma Gaoshan said, "Thanks, brother. That little mantis from the Dwarf Kingdom is damn vicious! If I'd known, I would've used my ultimate move to finish it off. By the way, you have Taisui Meat, don't you? Give some to your bro. I guarantee I can wipe out that little mantis from the Dwarf Kingdom!"
Even now, Ma Gaoshan couldn't forget about the Taisui Meat. They had been provoked by the Dwarf Kingdom mantis's words. Looking back, it seemed rash; they hadn't understood their foe's true strength and had charged into battle recklessly. Moreover, did that little mantis from the Dwarf Kingdom really say those things? Ma Gaoshan was highly skeptical. So, seeing Chu Hao acting this way, he figured he'd try to sweet-talk some Taisui Meat out of him first.
Chu Hao chuckled. "Old Bro wants Taisui Meat, huh? You should've said so earlier!"
Ma Gaoshan was ecstatic. He was extremely weak now. Only Taisui Meat could restore him to his peak condition, perhaps even allow him to make a breakthrough.
However, Chu Hao's expression suddenly changed. He slapped Ma Gaoshan on the head and scolded, "Son of a bitch! You still want to snatch this Young Master's Taisui Meat? In your dreams!"
Ma Gaoshan was dumbfounded. He stammered in shock and anger, "You! You!!"
Chu Hao retorted angrily, "You what? Gao Jingshou actually got you guys to help? If this Young Master hadn't tricked you first, would you have even bothered to help?"
Hearing this, Ma Gaoshan was so furious he almost vomited blood. His already ashen face turned deathly pale.
Enraged, he was about to call out to Niu Liushui, but Chu Hao wasn't about to let him. He drew the Yin Yang Sword and ended Ma Gaoshan's life.
"DING... Killed Ghost Officiant Ma Gaoshan. Gained 700,000 Experience Points."
"DING... Ghost Officiant Ma Gaoshan dropped item: Ghost Gate Pass. Added to inventory."
"DING... Ghost Officiant Ma Gaoshan dropped: Silver Treasure Box. Added to inventory."
Killing Ma Gaoshan yielded 200,000 more Experience Points than killing Shorty. This clearly showed the difference in experience gained based on their strength levels.
Ghost Gate Pass: Possessing this token allows entry into the true Ghost Gate Pass, where countless ghosts retreat. This is the token for entering the Ghost Gate Pass.
Chu Hao said excitedly, "Open the Silver Treasure Box."
"DING... Host has obtained a dozen bottles of boy's urine."
Chu Hao's face darkened. "System, come out here! This dozen bottles of boy's urine, are they for you to drink?"
System: "Despising Host. What's it got to do with me? You're just unlucky."
Chu Hao wanted to cry but had no tears. My 'Unlucky Pretentiousness' debuff is still active! If I'd known, I would've waited until tomorrow to open the treasure box.
Chu Hao yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice laced with sorrow, "Sister-in-law, Big Brother is dead! BOO HOO... My poor Big Brother! You died so tragically!"
Hearing this, Niu Liushui was overwhelmed with grief. Her once beautiful face twisted into a terrifying grimace. She shrieked, "Little mantis from the Dwarf Kingdom, give me back my Brother Ma!"
She truly went berserk, burning her spiritual prowess. Her Ghost Officiant hat fell to the ground. With disheveled hair and a long lolling tongue, she looked just like a female demon.
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis was greatly startled; Niu Liushui's power had surged.
Chu Hao watched, also surprised. Good thing I tricked them. Otherwise, three Ghost Officiants plus the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis would have been more than I could handle.
Chu Hao gave Baby Diao Chan a look. Diao Chan blinked her eyes, resembling a newborn fox kit, and withdrew from the battlefield.
The battle between the two erupted. It was incredibly intense, no less spectacular than a real fantasy blockbuster, complete with stunning special effects.
Just then, Chu Hao set his sights on Gao Jingshou.
Gao Jingshou might have been a bit slow-witted, but his agility was incredibly high. Sensing danger, he turned his head and saw Chu Hao approaching.
Gao Jingshou leaped high into the air and then burrowed straight into the ground.
"He got away again."
Chu Hao was frustrated. But on second thought, Gao Jingshou isn't so bad. He brings his teammates here to serve up free kills. Maybe he can become a long-term meal ticket.
It's all just schemes. I scheme against others, and others scheme against me.
Only the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis and Niu Liushui remained. After a fierce battle, Niu Liushui was still outmatched and found herself at a disadvantage.
Chu Hao saw his chance and said, "Diao Chan, now!"
Diao Chan's Jade Maiden Sword thrust towards the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis as she executed the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.
Niu Liushui weakened instantly. Enraged and completely outmatched by the Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis, all she wanted now was to escape with her life.
Chu Hao walked over. "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"
"GET LOST!!" Niu Liushui snarled, utterly irascible and no different from a harpy, especially since her lover was dead.
Chu Hao sneered. "System, purchase a True Yang Evil Charm."
"DING... Host has purchased True Yang Evil Charm. Cost: 200 Pretentiousness Points."
Seeing Chu Hao steadily approach, Niu Liushui sensed his murderous intent. Panicking, she tried to flee.
But how could Chu Hao let her escape? He had his True Word Brush ready. With a sweep of the 'Lin' character, a seal trapped her by immobilizing the ground beneath her.
Niu Liushui shrieked, "What are you doing?!"
"Go join your Brother Ma."
The True Yang Evil Charm erupted with the power of a miniature sun, blasting Niu Liushui to oblivion.
"DING... Killed Ghost Officiant Niu Liushui. Gained 700,000 Experience Points."
"DING... Niu Liushui dropped item: Mysterious Ghost Killing Pill. Added to inventory."
Finally, a Mysterious Ghost Killing Pill dropped! This is great stuff! Each one costs 1,000 Pretentiousness Points in the System store.
Chu Hao was delighted. "Give it to Baby Diao Chan."
On the battlefield, Diao Chan retreated several steps and swallowed a Mysterious Ghost Killing Pill.
"DING... Diao Chan has consumed a Mysterious Ghost Killing Pill. Level increased to 5."
Ghost General: Diao Chan

Agility: 380

Diao Chan's delicate, jade-like face turned bright red, as if she were drunk. She couldn't help but let out a soft moan, her voice so sweet and intoxicating it could enchant anyone. Just gazing at her quietly would be enough for a lifetime!
Diao Chan said joyfully, "Master, my strength has increased again!"
Chu Hao laughed heartily. "Baby Diao Chan, go for the Mantis Claws first!"
The Eight-Headed Ghost Mantis raged, "Damn you! I'll flay you alive!"
If you asked who he hated most right now? It had to be Chu Hao. This kid was even more detestable than the one who had suppressed him a hundred years ago. Weaker than him, yet he resorted to such insidious little tricks.
Chu Hao waved his hand, his invincible confidence restored. He said boastfully, "Little mantis from the Dwarf Kingdom, you think you're a match for this Taoist Master? With a snap of my fingers, an insignificant insect like you will be turned to ash!"
"DING... Host has successfully acted pretentiously. Gained 200 Pretentiousness Points."
