I Have 10 Equipment Slots

Each one walked upright, its body a mass of knotted muscles, with wisps of black energy coiling around it.

A rough estimate put their numbers at two hundred!

SWOOSH~

Gu Zheng wasted no time on words, immediately bursting forward and flying over.

The moment he drew near, his Divine Wondrous power surged. The Celestial Frost Blade slashed out, leaving a streak of light in its wake.

"BOOM~!"

A deafening roar shook the very ground.

The line of Sword Gang rained down upon the ranks of Violent Rabbit Demons. The Sword Qi that erupted from it swept through the area, instantly dicing all two hundred of them into mincemeat that splattered through the air in a rain of blood.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +11]

[Demon Points +13]

...

’What a huge haul!’

Each of these first-rank Violent Rabbit Demons contributed more than ten Demon Points.

’As expected of "Muscle Demon Fiends"!’

"HA~ROAR!"

"ROAR! ROAR!"

The sudden commotion, the ground littered with severed limbs, and the stench of blood wafting through the air instantly alerted the Violent Rabbit Demons in the large caves at the foot of the hill.

One after another, Violent Rabbits emerged from their caves, gathering at the base of the hill and staring in Gu Zheng’s direction.

They were densely packed; a single glance revealed several thousand of them!

SWOOSH~

Seeing so many potential Demon Points, Gu Zheng’s eyes lit up. His Divine Wondrous power surged as he burst into a sprint, flying toward them.

While still in mid-air, he sent streaks of light from his Celestial Frost Blade piercing through the air ahead of him.

"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!"

A series of deafening explosions shook the earth, making the hill tremble.

Rubble, dirt, and severed limbs flew everywhere, filling the air with each blast.

Against first-rank Violent Rabbits, Gu Zheng didn’t need to get close, release his Sword Intent, or even strike their bodies with his blade. The Sword Qi generated by his Sword Gang alone was enough to slice and kill them.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +13]

[Demon Points +9]

[Demon Points +11]

...

His figure flashed about the base of the hill. As he moved, Gu Zheng collected Demon Points in droves.

Violent Rabbits were still rabbits, after all. Whether wild or demonic, prolific breeding was a racial trait.

In the caves beneath these two rows of hills, each warren of Violent Rabbits held nearly ten individuals.

Although more than half of the Violent Rabbits were still Unranked and didn’t provide many Demon Points, the amount wasn’t insignificant.

Each one gave at least 4 Demon Points.

That was already quite good—better than nothing.

For this reason, Gu Zheng darted about, his Celestial Frost Blade continuing to swing, covering a wide area.

Occasionally, he would pop a Rejuvenation Pill into his mouth, digesting it to replenish his Divine Wondrous power.

"ROAR!"

"ROAR~!"

Enraged howls echoed from another hill.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

With the sound of rushing wind, second-rank Violent Rabbit Demons bounded and sprinted, leaping toward Gu Zheng.

SWOOSH~

Instead of retreating, Gu Zheng advanced. He surged with Divine Wondrous power, infused his blade with Sword Intent, and met them head-on.

CHICHICHI~!

"SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!"

His body flickered, weaving between more than a dozen second-rank Violent Rabbit Demons. He swung the Celestial Frost Blade at close range, each streak of light slicing a rabbit to death.

A Violent Rabbit that had just reached the second rank required one extra slash. A mid-stage second-rank took three. A late-stage second-rank took ten.

Gu Zheng pushed his speed and agility to their limits, avoiding direct clashes with the Violent Rabbits.

Relying on the sharpness of the Celestial Frost Blade, the enhancement from his Divine Wondrous power, and the aid of his Sword Intent, he could easily overwhelm the Violent Rabbit Demons.

For a moment, the sound of flesh being sliced and diced echoed across the battlefield.

By the time he stopped, all the second-rank Violent Rabbit Demons that had charged out were dead.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +28]

[Demon Points +30]

...

Their Bloodshed and Demon Essence were all taken in through Absorption and converted into Demon Points.

Without pausing, Gu Zheng charged with his blade toward the next hill.

"ROAR!!"

A roar filled with fury rang out at that moment.

WHOOM~

The void suddenly trembled. An invisible, oppressive aura swept over everything, instantly spreading in all directions.

A terrifying presence descended from the sky, locking onto the moving Gu Zheng to intimidate him.

Gu Zheng neither stopped nor showed any fear.

With the Equipment Effect of "Fearless Hero" active, his Spirit and mind felt no discomfort whatsoever.

But he also knew that a third-rank Violent Rabbit Demon had appeared.

SWOOSH!

Without hesitation, Gu Zheng turned and fled.

He activated the Wandering Divine Falcon’s Feather. Boosted by his Divine Wondrous power, it enveloped him in a ball of light, and his speed instantly exploded to several times its original level.

SHWISH SHWISH SHWISH!

In less than a breath’s time, Gu Zheng rushed back to the tunnel entrance, nearly crashing right into Yu Quandong, who was standing guard.

He swerved just in time to avoid a collision.

Yu Quandong was startled as well. When he saw it was Gu Zheng, he let out a sigh of relief and then began to advise him in a low voice, "Lord Gu, are you all right? I told you there were third-rank, maybe even fourth-rank, beings among the Violent Rabbit Demons. If you run into them, you won’t even have time to escape..."

WHOOM~!

A dull, heavy boom.

The oppressive force in the air squeezed the entrance to the void tunnel, creating a faint ripple.

A four-meter-tall Violent Rabbit Demon with crimson eyes appeared just outside the tunnel entrance, staring intently at Yu Quandong.

Yu Quandong’s heart stopped on the spot, his pupils dilating.

"A third... third-rank..."

"It can’t get in." Gu Zheng reached out and patted Yu Quandong’s shoulder, a surge of Divine Wondrous power helping the Hundred Households recover.

However, to be stared at from such a close distance by a third-rank Demon Fiend...

Well, to be fair, the third-rank Violent Rabbit Demon that had appeared was glaring furiously at Gu Zheng.

Most of its terrifying aura couldn’t pass through the tunnel entrance either.

But Yu Quandong still felt the mortal threat of a third-rank Great Demon.

After a long moment, Yu Quandong caught his breath and slowly came to terms with it. He turned his stiff neck to look at Gu Zheng.

"Lord... Lord Gu, you... you ran back while under the pressure of a third-rank Great Demon?"

"You... You can outrun a third-rank Demon Fiend!?"

Granted, not every third-rank Great Demon was particularly fast. Some had astonishing defense or terrifying attacks instead.

But generally speaking, the movement speed of a third-rank Great Demon was consistently a tier above a second-rank.

The same was true for a Super Body·Radiant.

Once caught by the terrifying pressure of a third-rank Great Demon, one wouldn’t even have time to run.

And yet, Gu Zheng had successfully run back...

*GASP!*

Yu Quandong took a deep breath. He now understood why Gu Zheng had dared to leave the tunnel and venture into the Violent Rabbit Demons’ territory to kill them.

’So he really had an ace up his sleeve!’

"It was alright."

Gu Zheng didn’t explain much. He took a few steps forward and faced the third-rank Violent Rabbit Demon from less than a meter away.

"ROAR~!!"

The third-rank Violent Rabbit Demon’s furry face contorted into a savage expression, its crimson eyes filled with brutality.

It suddenly raised a massive Demon Fist and smashed it toward the tunnel entrance.

BANG!!!

The void rippled, and the space at the tunnel entrance undulated.

The force reached Gu Zheng, but it had no effect on him whatsoever.

"See you next time."

Gu Zheng chuckled, turned, and started walking back. "Lord Yu, let’s head back."

"Right, right."

Yu Quandong agreed, following behind him.

"ROAR!" "ROAR~!!"

Behind them, the third-rank Violent Rabbit Demon roared in fury, madly pounding the tunnel entrance and sending out wave after wave of ripples.

Even after Gu Zheng and Yu Quandong had exited the tunnel, its rampage continued.

Ignoring the third-rank Violent Rabbit Demon, Gu Zheng decided to stay at Old Dragon Bay.

The Guerrilla General Order hadn’t sounded again, which meant no reinforcements were needed elsewhere.

In that case, he could stay at Old Dragon Bay, find another chance to return to the Violent Rabbit Demons’ territory, kill another wave, and rack up plenty of Demon Points.

Who could blame them? Rabbits just love to breed, and their numbers were huge!

By comparison, Yu Quandong was mentally and physically exhausted.

Seeing Gu Zheng stay, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then had one of his Commanders accompany Gu Zheng and found a place to get some sleep.

He hadn’t slept in five or six days.

...

An unknown amount of time passed. Yu Quandong was sleeping fitfully, his eyelids too heavy to lift, his mind groggy.

But a voice kept calling out in his ear.

"My lord, my lord, wake up!"

"Lord Yu, this is bad! Lord Gu charged into the Demon Realm! What should we do?"

"My lord, Lord Yu..."

His eyes snapped open. Yu Quandong shot upright, his bloodshot eyes staring directly at the shouting Commander before him.

"What... what did you just say? Lord Gu charged into the Demon Realm again!?"
