CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 410: RITIAN STICK, RETURN!_1

The Ghost Sacrifier had an explosive temper, and his words were infuriating. Besides, how could he tolerate Chu Hao killing members of the Ghost Offering Clan?

"Bastard!" the Ghost Offering Clan member flew into an extreme rage.

"Ding... Host has succeeded in showing off, gaining 800 Pretentiousness Points."

Impressive. In the realm of flexing, Brother Hao was king—a coward deep down, but his mouth never stopped.

Seeing the Ghost Offering Clan member’s furious reaction, the onlookers believed Chu Hao somewhat more, their earlier disappointment turning back into anticipation.

Chu Hao believed that after showing off one last time, he would have enough Pretentiousness Points.

The Ghost Sacrifier, enraged, drew an ancient bronze sword—a royal sword. The moment it was drawn, the Ghost Qi surged even stronger.

"Kill!" The Ghost Offering Clan member’s legs were lifted by two swirls of black qi, carrying him through the air as if flying, speeding towards Chu Hao.

Without another word, Chu Hao turned and fled.

Until the man and the Corpse Ghost disappeared into the darkness, the others still wore expressions of utter confusion.

"Our chance has come!"

The others were invigorated. With the Ghost Sacrifier chasing Chu Hao, they could search for the ancient tomb’s exit and their main target: the King Chu’s Seal!

The steep rocks were difficult for an average person to navigate, but Chu Hao possessed Qinggong. He ran on walls and leaped over eaves effortlessly, his speed extremely fast.

Zhang Fei floated in mid-air, unconvinced, and said, "My lord, let me go back and kill him!"

For him, one of the great Five Tiger Generals, to be chased by a Corpse Ghost was truly infuriating.

Zhao Yun also said, "My lord!"

As Chu Hao stepped on rocks and ran along walls, his escape speed was incredibly fast. He said, "That Old Ghost is very strong; we can only outsmart him."

Zhang Fei was speechless. You’re running away so slickly, how on earth are we supposed to outsmart him?

Zhao Yun said, "I understand now. My lord is engaging in guerrilla warfare."

"The one who understands me is Zhao Yun!"

Chu Hao turned his head but didn’t see the Old Ghost anymore. He looked around; indeed, the Old Ghost was gone. He heaved a sigh of relief and stopped to rest for a moment.

"Where’s that Old Ghost?" Chu Hao asked.

Zhao Yun replied, "My lord, you ran too fast just now; it seems he couldn’t keep up."

So I actually ran too fast! Good! While I have the chance, I need to show off a bit.

However, he then remembered the Golden Treasure Chest he had obtained earlier and hoped his luck would hold out, allowing him to get some Pretentiousness Points from it.

Suddenly, from high above, a loud roar echoed, "All Corpse Ghosts, heed my command! Kill!"

A dense horde of Corpse Ghosts appeared all around, an overwhelming number, frantically chasing after Chu Hao.

Chu Hao shouted, "Old Ghost, are you damn stupid?! You think this trash can take on Brother Hao, me?"

The Ghost Sacrificer floated in mid-air, shrouded in roiling black qi like a Ghost God, his withered eyes almost spitting flames. Chu Hao was too arrogant and wouldn’t fight him directly, which was truly detestable.

Chu Hao sneered, ignoring the Ghost Sacrificer, and opened the Golden Treasure Chest.

"Ding... Host has opened the Golden Treasure Chest, obtaining a River Suppressing Divine Needle Shard."

Chu Hao was startled.

Item: River Suppressing Divine Needle Shard

Rarity: ★★★

Ability: Collect ten River Suppressing Divine Needle Shards to merge into the River Stabilizing Divine Needle. (River Suppressing Divine Needle Shards can be used in the System store to reduce the Pretentiousness Points needed to purchase the River Stabilizing Divine Needle).

Chu Hao was overjoyed!

He had previously nicknamed the River Stabilizing Divine Needle the Ritian Stick. He remembered that the last time he’d faced Baxia, the Ritian Stick had been exchanged for 30,000 Pretentiousness Points.

In the System store, the price of the River Stabilizing Divine Needle was 40,000 Pretentiousness Points.

Chu Hao quickly asked, "System, can I buy the Ritian Stick now?"

System: "You can. The Host still has a Sixty Percent Discount Card."

Holy shit! Holy shit... I’m about to make a killing!

"Hurry up and make the purchase."

"Ding... Host has purchased the Ritian Stick, consumed one Sixty Percent Discount Card, consumed the River Suppressing Divine Needle Shard, and used all his Pretentiousness Points, a total of 15,700."

The Ritian Stick had finally returned.

Item: Ritian Stick

Rarity: ★★★★★

Skill One: Can grow large or small, and its length is adjustable. Smallest: about one chi (approx. 1 foot) long and weighing one liang (approx. 0.11 lbs). Largest: about five zhang (approx. 55 feet) in size and weighing 3,600 jin (approx. 3,968 lbs). Can extend up to 50 meters (approx. 164 feet) in length.

Skill Two: Overturn Rivers and Seas (rotates at high speed, capable of causing rivers to overturn and seas to surge).

Skill Three: Majestic Strike (possesses immense power; requires a large amount of Mana Points to use. Its power is proportional to the Mana Points spent, with a minimum of 10,000 Mana Points required).

Impressive, my Ritian Stick!

Chu Hao let out a thunderous shout, "Ritian Stick!"

Suddenly, a golden, gleaming iron rod appeared out of thin air in front of him. Its design was similar to the one used by the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, though not as powerful as the Seawyrm Sea Calming Needle. But for Chu Hao at this moment, what use would he have for the Seawyrm Sea Calming Needle anyway? The Ritian Stick was just right.

Chu Hao said excitedly, "Ritian Stick, we meet again."

In midair, the Ritian Stick emitted a buzzing sound, as if responding to Chu Hao.

It was an exotic treasure, possessing a spirit!

Chu Hao leaped up and grabbed the Ritian Stick. An icy sensation spread from his hand, but at that moment, Chu Hao felt an invincible conviction.

With the Ritian Stick in hand, the world was his.

The Ghost Sacrificer also saw the Ritian Stick and was slightly surprised. He exclaimed, "Kill! Kill for your king!"

On the rocky cliffs, Corpse Ghosts converged in great numbers, rushing forward like a vast ocean.

Chu Hao shifted his gaze from the Ritian Stick to the advancing Corpse Ghost Army. A hint of mockery curled the corner of his mouth as he looked at the Ghost Sacrificer and said, "Old Ghost, now I’ll let you witness a real performance."

"Ritian Stick, kill for me!"

In an instant, the Ritian Stick flew out, spinning at high speed in midair, moving incredibly fast.

Second skill: Overturn Rivers and Seas!

"Ding... Using the Ritian Stick’s second skill consumes 500 Mana Points per second."

Fast! The speed of rotation was so extreme it became a blur. A spherical object shot out, and any surrounding Corpse Ghost that touched the Ritian Stick instantly exploded, flesh splattering, utterly annihilated.

BANG! BANG!

The surrounding rocks, upon contact with the rapidly spinning Ritian Stick, were directly smashed into powder.

"Ding... Killed a Corpse Ghost, obtained 1,000 Experience Points."

"Ding... Killed a Corpse Ghost, obtained 1,000 Experience Points."

"Ding... Corpse Ghost dropped items, which have been added to your inventory."

The notification sounds were constant; my Ritian Stick is freaking incredible!

A dozen seconds later, the surroundings were a scene of carnage: flesh and blood flew, dismembered bodies lay everywhere, and the rocks were shattered beyond recognition.

The Ritian Stick was invincible!

"WAHAHAHA! This is the true strength of this Pretentious King! Tremble!"

Chu Hao leaped up, grabbed the Ritian Stick, and pointed it towards the Ghost Sacrificer in midair, shouting, "Old Ghost, come and fight!"

"Ding... Host has successfully shown off, obtaining 800 Pretentiousness Points."

The Ghost Sacrificer’s expression finally changed; the golden iron rod in Chu Hao’s hand was incredibly formidable.

However, the Ghost Sacrificer formed hand seals. Black Qi twirled around him as a dark curtain descended. Upon closer inspection, one could see countless wicked and ferocious Yin Souls within it.

"Devour Heaven and Earth!"

The Ghost Sacrificer roared, also going all out. He desperately unleashed the countless Ghosts from within his body, intending to overwhelm Chu Hao.

But Chu Hao certainly wasn’t afraid of him!

He thrust towards the sky, and the Ritian Stick instantly elongated. The Ghost Sacrificer had no time to react as the golden iron rod grew longer, piercing through the dark curtain of Yin Souls and smashing towards him.

BANG!

The Ghost Sacrificer screamed. Normal physical attacks were useless against him, but the Ritian Stick was an exceptionally yang and hard treasured artifact, perfect for dealing with evil demons and Ghosts.

The Ghost Sacrificer was sent flying, crashing hard onto the ground amidst a scatter of broken stones.
