I Have 10 Equipment Slots-Chapter 120 - 99: Kill Them All

"I..."

"That’s enough."

Gu Zheng cut him off. "No need to say another word. At dawn, we will level Qiuming Valley. Bring Yu Chengjun. Let him watch with his own eyes as the Baihua Building is annihilated!"

"Yes, sir!"

...

...

Qiuming Valley.

The sky was just beginning to lighten. A gentle morning mountain breeze drifted through the forest, wafting slowly across the peaceful valley.

At the valley entrance lay a stretch of muddy flats. Wisps of grayish-white miasma seeped out from the muck, diffusing into the air and drifting lazily with the wind.

Closer to the entrance was a small grove of trees, not large, but just dense enough to block the view into the valley.

Within the grove stood a few wooden cabins, inhabited year-round.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

The sharp sound of something slicing through the air, mingled with the chirping of insects and birds, suddenly shattered the morning tranquility of the grove.

Short spears, each imbued with terrifyingly Powerful Qi, pierced through the wooden walls as if they had eyes of their own. Before the people inside the cabins could even react, they were run through the chest, shot through the head, and pinned either to their beds or the walls.

The entire process took less than a breath, and silence returned to the grove.

Half an incense stick later, one after another, hideous, bloated, and grotesque Demon Fiends trudged through the muddy flats at the valley entrance. They entered the grove and headed straight for the center of the valley.

"Hiss~"

"Hah!"

"Haaah~!"

Strange noises echoed continuously from the surging figures.

Within a few breaths, the chirping of insects and birds on the valley slopes and even in the basin itself vanished completely.

By the time the Baihua Building disciples living in the row of buildings at the valley’s center heard the commotion and came out to investigate, it was already too late.

Demon Fiends were everywhere they looked—hundreds of them!

"How did Demon Fiends get here? Master! Where’s Master?"

"Stop shouting! Something’s wrong! Run!"

"Ahhh!"

Cries of alarm and screams suddenly erupted, shattering the peace at the valley’s center and jolting everyone awake.

"It’s Demon Fiends! Run!"

"Master, spare me! Master, I was wrong!"

"It’s retribution! This is all retribution! Hahaha..."

"No, no... Ahhh!"

Screams, roars, and bellows echoed everywhere.

The Demon Fiends that reached the valley’s center frantically attacked the Baihua Building disciples, who had no hope of escape.

One after another, they were torn to shreds by the Demon Fiends. Severed limbs and mangled arms, mixed with fresh blood, stained the ground red.

The few who managed to flee toward the slopes on either side were shot and killed on the spot by arrows and hidden weapons fired from the shadows the moment they appeared.

SWISH!

Gu Zheng flicked his wrist, sending a pebble flying like an arrow to pierce through the head of a Baihua Building disciple.

THUMP. The man’s face still held a look of lingering fear as he fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, dead but not at peace.

"Hehehe~"

Yu Chengjun, held firmly in Gu Zheng’s grip, witnessed this and giggled morbidly. "A good death, a wonderful death, a spectacular death! Hehehe..."

"..." Gu Zheng glanced down at him, then tapped his toes on the ground, leaping up to the treetops with Yu Chengjun in tow.

SHH SHH~

After a few movements, he chose the most suitable position to gaze out at the valley’s center, now submerged in a tide of Demon Fiends. The rows of buildings, inside and out, were completely overrun.

"Grand Sect Leader Yu, continue summoning Demon Fiends into the valley."

"Heh..." The strange laughter caught in his throat. Yu Chengjun stiffly raised his head to look at Gu Zheng and roared in a trembling voice, "What... what more do you want? I followed your orders! I summoned the Demon Fiends and destroyed the Baihua Building! What... what more do you want!?"

"Less nonsense. Keep summoning," Gu Zheng said, glancing at him expressionlessly.

Yu Chengjun’s deathly pale face twitched. He pressed his lips together—already bitten raw from the night before—and took several deep breaths.

"Fine, fine! I’ll listen to you! I’ll do whatever you say!"

Yu Chengjun gritted his teeth and spoke through a low snarl. He took the small, red gourd that Gu Zheng had returned to him, raised it high in the air, and closed his eyes.

BZZZZ~~!

The air suddenly rippled.

An imperceptible current of energy instantly radiated from the red gourd. Wave after wave spread out from Yu Chengjun, blanketing the entire Qiuming Valley in the blink of an eye.

In another blink, it had expanded to a radius of five *li*. In the next, ten *li*.

Fifteen *li*, twenty *li*, thirty, forty, fifty *li*!

By the time it had spread to fifty *li*, Yu Chengjun’s body was trembling uncontrollably, sweat pouring from him in streams.

"That’s enough."

Gu Zheng, who had been sensing the changes in the energy current and Yu Chengjun’s own aura, spoke calmly.

"*Huff... huff...*"

Yu Chengjun stopped the summoning and opened his eyes. He hung limply in Gu Zheng’s grasp, panting for air, his head bowed and drenched in sweat.

After a long moment, he tremblingly reached out to hand the small red gourd back to Gu Zheng.

"All the... all the Demon Fiends I can summon... I’ve pretty much called them all here."

"I’ll give you a quick death later," Gu Zheng said, taking back the red gourd with a flick of his hand.

"Good... good." A flush appeared on Yu Chengjun’s face. "You must... you must keep your word!"

Gu Zheng ignored him.

He stood atop the tree, gazing out toward the valley entrance.

Soon, a dense mass of bloated, ugly figures appeared on the distant horizon.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE~!

The ground shook, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

On a distant mountaintop, under the shocked and horrified gazes of Zhang Ning, Tao Liu, and one hundred Warriors from the Demon Slayer Bureau, thousands of Demon Fiends swarmed into Qiuming Valley.

And behind them, a ceaseless, unending stream of Demon Fiends continued to appear, tens of thousands of them converging on and pouring into Qiuming Valley.

In an instant, the vast valley was completely filled with Demon Fiends.

Once the tens of thousands of Demon Fiends had all surged into Qiuming Valley and begun to roar and fight amongst themselves...

SWOOSH!

Gu Zheng shot down from the treetop, still carrying Yu Chengjun.

While still in mid-air, he swiftly mobilized his Divine Wondrous and unleashed the Fire Demon Techniques.

FWOOSH~

WHOOSH—
