Chapter 1384 - 1381: An IQ Humiliation

Not only that Peak King Realm expert—there were more people chasing from behind, and they basically arrived in an instant.

In an instant! Dozens of people showed up at the foot of the mountain.

One glance over, and they were all King Realm.

Besides that, there was a chilling aura—the Fierce Ghosts had caught up too, and it was a whole group. They blocked off Chu Hao's left flank.

There were a lot of Fierce Ghosts, each with a twisted face and a sinister grin.

Seeing Chu Hao stop running, the crowd of humans and Ghosts all grew wary. Could there be more Formations nearby?

They'd been scared half to death before. Even Emperor Realm experts had died—what could they possibly do?

An Array Master stepped out. He was also King Realm. He said, "Everyone be careful. I went up to inspect just now; there really are Formations in this area."

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Sure enough, this brat stopped with bad intentions.

They were only fifty meters apart, but nobody dared move. Everyone was extremely on guard; nobody wanted to be cannon fodder for testing.

Chu Hao laughed and said, "Just you bunch of trash dare to chase me? Go home and drink milk for a few more years before you come back."

"Ding… Arrogant posturing, gained 80,000 Pretentiousness Points."

The crowd was furious, yet still nobody moved.

Earlier, Chu Hao's schemes were way too deep. He enraged everyone, then trapped and killed three Emperor Realm experts, dozens of Peak King Realm experts, and hundreds of Yin-Yang Practitioners.

They were terrified he'd use the same trick again.

One King Realm said to the Array Master, "What Formations are there around here exactly? Hurry up and check."

"Mm!" The Array Masters spread out around the area.

Chu Hao wasn't flustered at all. Hands behind his back, he said, "I'm really confused. Why are you so scared of me? What's the point of chasing me?"

Someone sneered, "Scared of you? If you weren't crafty as hell, you think you'd still be alive?"

A man from the Fire Nation said, "Chu Hao, hurry up and release the Young Country Lord."

Chu Hao looked at the Fire Nation cultivator and said, "Your Young Country Lord is doing just fine with me. Go back and tell the people of Fire Nation: if you keep coming after me, I'll break his hands and feet first."

After Chu Hao finished, he looked at the crowd with contempt and said, "I'm done playing with you. If you've got guts, keep chasing. And don't say I bullied you—all of you can come at me together."

Chu Hao turned around and left, using Shadow Concealing Step to depart.

The crowd was stunned. This guy left that cleanly?

An Array Master said confidently, "There's definitely a trick here. Everyone be careful."

The crowd looked at him.

This young Array Master was Bai Yu. He said, "He ran off that cleanly, like he's escaping from us. In truth, this guy is full of tricks. There must be hidden Formations nearby, waiting for us to chase after him so he can trigger them."

Thinking about it, that did make sense. This brat was slippery as a Ghost.

Besides, what did he say just now—everyone can come at him together?

That made his motives even more suspicious.

Bai Yu put on his gold-rimmed glasses, saying confidently, "Array Masters nearby, inspect the area at once. There must be hidden Formations around here. Be careful."

A few minutes later.

The Array Masters returned one by one, each with the strangest expression you could imagine.

The surrounding King Realm experts asked, "What's the situation? Are there really Formations?"

Bai Yu came back as well, his expression even uglier.

Han Qianxue also walked up from the rear and asked, "Any Formations?"

Bai Yu said awkwardly, "N-no. None."

Everyone was shocked; a whole group of King Realm almost spat blood.

What did they just miss? It was the perfect chance to take down Chu Hao in one go!!

Bai Yu complained, "How is that possible? That guy's guts are way too big. No Formations nearby, and he still acts that cocky?"

"This isn't scientific."

Bai Yu felt like his IQ had been brutally humiliated. He was dying to find a Formation here just to prove himself.

Unfortunately, there really were no Formations.

A group of King Realm experts roared, "Hurry and chase."

"Ding… Bai Yu collapses, his IQ humiliated, gained 80,000 Pretentiousness Points."

"Ding… Finished pretending and ran, gained 80,000 Pretentiousness Points."

Chu Hao was laughing his head off inside. This bunch of idiots—how did they fall for that?

There really weren't any Formations nearby. At the critical moment, Chu Hao relied on his extraordinary acting skills to fool everyone.

Survival Pretending Skill #1: Calm Pretending.

Honestly, Chu Hao had been pretty nervous just now too. But he perfectly dodged danger—could only blame this lot for being way too suspicious.

Chu Hao looked ahead, nodded, and said, "Almost there."

So he stopped walking and waited for the chasing mob to catch up.

The crowd finally arrived, a dense swarm of figures continuously appearing at the foot of the mountain.

But when they saw Chu Hao standing on a boulder, looking down at them, they were all baffled.

This brat could clearly keep running—why did he stop?

Bai Yu immediately said, "Careful, there's a trick."

That line again.

Everyone side-eyed him. A King Realm expert said coldly, "Even if there is a Formation, so what?"

He lifted up a clay jar, opened the lid, and released a swarm of black insects from inside. The insects rushed toward Chu Hao on the mountain.

However, when they got close to Chu Hao, about ten meters away—

A hidden Formation was triggered.

Within the area the Formation covered, a storm of flame erupted and swept through. The black insects were all burned clean, dropping to the ground one by one.

Everyone let out a breath of relief. Good thing they hadn't gone up just now. There really was a Formation.

But judging by this Formation's power, it didn't seem that strong.

Chu Hao rubbed his chin and said, "Your IQ is quite a bit better than the last group's."

Damn it!

Was this guy… complimenting them?

No matter how they listened, it sounded like mockery.

Bai Yu shouted angrily, "Chu Hao, what trick are you trying to pull this time? Want to lure us up there? You really think we'll fall for it again?"

The crowd all sneered. Same old trick—who would still fall for that?

It had already been proven there were Formations ahead.

Han Qianxue also looked over at Chu Hao, feeling a strange mix of emotions. Did this guy really plan to play everyone with the exact same move? That didn't seem realistic.

Chu Hao shrugged and said, "There really aren't any more Formations around here. The Formation just now was weak, just a broken leftover, that's all."

Trying to fool us again.

So they thought.

Chu Hao waved his hand impatiently and said, "So, are you coming or not? I'm getting tired of waiting. I'll give you ten seconds—who's coming up to fight me?"

"Or you can all come at once."

Their eyes went cold. This brat was trying to con them again, mocking them with his cold taunts.

This time there definitely were Formations.

Right now, whoever went up would be the brainless idiot.

Ten seconds passed. Seeing no one move, Chu Hao sneered, "A bunch of cowards. Keep chasing, and don't blame me for being rude."

With that, he turned around and left, walking off the mountain.

A Peak King Realm expert said, "Quickly inspect the nearby Formations and avoid them. This brat is out of tricks."

A King Realm expert with a scar on his face snarled viciously, "Once I catch him, I'll crush his bones one by one."

Chu Hao's actions had enraged far too many people. If they weren't afraid of Formations, he would've died who knows how many times already. He'd successfully stirred up everyone's wrath.
