I Have 10 Equipment Slots-Chapter 88 - 82: Who Dares to Stop?

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM~!

Violent, furious booms echoed at the foot of Sword Peak Mountain.

Shards of rock, large and small, peeled off the hard mountain face. They danced through the air, shooting in all directions before plummeting into the marshland, smashing whirlpool-like pits into the ground.

On Sword Peak Mountain, white and black Purgatory Bone Demons scrambled in a panic, fleeing from the base of the mountain.

"CRACK-CRUNCH!"

A dull thud, accompanied by the sound of breaking bones, rang out clearly.

Gu Zheng’s Bronze Fist Blade viciously smashed into the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon’s shoulder blade, shattering the bone.

The terrifying force sent the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon flying. Its fearsome, towering body lost its balance and slammed headfirst into the mountain wall.

The Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon, which had just struggled free from the rock, was once again embedded within it.

"ROAR~!"

The Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon let out a frustrated roar.

BOOM!

Gu Zheng cut the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon’s roar short with a side kick, leaving a crack on its skull.

As the mountain shook, more and more cracks appeared.

His Super Body, augmented by the Bronze Elephant Body, possessed Barbaric Force and Divine Wondrous abilities far exceeding Gu Zheng’s own.

After gradually adapting to and gaining full control of the explosive Power of Ten Thousand Jins, Gu Zheng decisively unleashed it all, bombarding the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon.

BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM!

One punch after another, every single one struck the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon’s skull.

"CRACK!" "CRACKLE~"

"CRA—"

"BANG~!!"

Following a massive boom like a clap of muffled thunder, Sword Peak Mountain shook violently twice, and Gu Zheng stopped his assault.

His bronze-coated Iron Fist, like a Steel Claw, slowly withdrew from the crater.

At the bottom of the crater, the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon’s skull had been reduced to a pile of fragments. Its flesh and blood were gone, and its Soul Fire had been extinguished.

Spirit Capturing!

[Demon Points +31]

’It’s finally dead!’

The Purgatory Bone Demon’s physical defense was astounding.

The body of a Tier 2 Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon was equivalent to a Middle-Grade Spiritual Soldier.

Gu Zheng had essentially just shattered a Middle-Grade Spiritual Soldier with sheer Barbaric Force.

WHOOSH~!

He exhaled a turbid breath and slowly regulated his Inner Breath.

SWOOSH!

With a flicker of his body, Gu Zheng followed the auras of the remaining Purgatory Bone Demons he could sense and shot toward them.

The Tier 2 Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon was dead.

It would be a waste not to kill the other Purgatory Bone Demons.

Killing one meant more Demon Points!

"ROAR~"

WHOOSH-BOOM!

The white and black Purgatory Bone Demons sensed the commotion and the disappearance of the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon’s aura. Terrified, they scattered and fled down the mountain.

Gu Zheng became a blur, like a giant bronze python, chasing them down one by one and killing them with savage pounces.

...

The white Purgatory Bone Demons’ skulls exploded the instant he grazed them, and they died on the spot.

When his Bronze Fist Blade smashed into the black Purgatory Bone Demons, their heads exploded just the same. At most, they lasted for half a breath.

BANG~ BANG~ BANG!

He chased them down, popping heads and reaping lives all the way.

A short while later, Gu Zheng fought his way to the summit and stood atop the iridescent peak.

He scanned his surroundings, then raised his Bronze Fist Blade high!

...

"What... what is he doing?"

At the edge of the wilderness, most of the noble youths who had entered the Domain had now gathered.

They all stood at the edge of the marshland, watching from a distance as Gu Zheng killed the Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon, hunted down the remaining Purgatory Bone Demons, and fought his way to the summit. Now that he had raised his Iron Fist, a few of the noble youths couldn’t help but feel their hearts lurch.

"What is he doing? He’s destroying the Rule Array Hub, of course!"

Yuan Qianjun said with a smile, glancing at the noble youth who had spoken.

As soon as his words fell...

BOOM!

A tremendous roar, like the shaking of the very earth and mountains, started from the peak of Sword Peak Mountain and spread downward, then outward. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The vast marshland was affected—the mud pits, ponds, bone piles, and corpse mounds all trembled in unison.

The three-meter-tall Gu Zheng was using his Bronze Double Fists to savagely and violently bombard the mountaintop.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM~"

...

"This... This... There are still three days before the Domain closes! Why is he destroying the Rule Array Hub so soon?"

"Right, right! I’ve only found two Source Fruits. I wanted to search for another couple of days."

"You from the Qing King’s family, say something!"

Many of the noble youths were in a panic. Some turned and shouted at Qing Yixiao and Qing Yimei.

"Say what?"

Qing Yimei tilted her chin up, her voice filled with excited fervor as she retorted, "Say that your luck is terrible and you want to stay longer to try and get lucky?"

"Qing Yimei, don’t play dumb! We mean, tell that person on the mountain to stop! He can wait two more days to destroy the Rule Array Hub; there’s still time," the speaker snapped irritably.

"Wait two days? Fine, you go talk to him!" Qing Yimei laughed. "If you want to stop him, then go! I promise I won’t get in your way. I’m certainly not going, and neither is my brother."

Qing Yixiao remained silent.

"You..."

The one who had shouted was so angry his face contorted, but he didn’t dare run his mouth any further.

’Have us go stop him?’

’Didn’t we just see Gu Zheng beat a Tier 2 Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon to death?’

’With Gu Zheng as he is now, who among all the people here would dare to stop him!?’

Listening to the thunderous tremors from the top of Sword Peak Mountain, the flustered noble youths all sighed. No one voiced any more protests.

In truth, the biggest harvests in the Domain came within the first three days of it opening.

During those three days, the Power of Rules created by the collision and fusion of the two worlds was at its most active.

Source Fruits, Marvels, and Magic Gold would all be spurred into existence.

Starting from the fourth day, things would stabilize, and the rate at which Source Fruits and Marvels appeared would continuously slow down.

Therefore, although Gu Zheng destroying the Rule Array Hub now caused some resentment, it wasn’t enough to inspire true hatred.

Yuan Qianjun, Qing Yixiao, Xiao Dutian, as well as Jin Yanzi, He Zheng, and the others, were all well aware of this fact.

If Gu Zheng had tried to destroy the Rule Array Hub on the very first day, not even Yuan Qianjun would have agreed.

But now, it didn’t matter.

"Brother, this Gu Zheng is just too incredible. He’s single-handedly suppressing everyone to the point that no one dares to speak up and stop him."

At the edge of the crowd, Hai Qingmi leaned close to Hai Qingshu and whispered in admiration, "The last time we parted ways with him, he showed no signs of breaking through. I wonder what kind of Source Fruit he took?"

"No matter what Source Fruit it was, someone who just broke through to the Super Body realm wouldn’t have enough power to kill a Tier 2 Steel Bone Purgatory Bone Demon," Hai Qingshu murmured, his eyes flickering as he stared at the tall, bronze figure on the peak of Sword Peak Mountain.

...

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Again and again, blow after blow.

The five-hundred-meter-tall Sword Peak Mountain swayed and trembled, the colossal booms spreading for miles in every direction.

Finally...

"BANG~!!"

After a deafening boom like a sudden clap of thunder, the iridescent part of Sword Peak Mountain’s summit abruptly shattered. It cracked apart into pebbles, which then disintegrated into fine sand that scattered and drifted away on the wind.

RUMBLE!

As the iridescent peak vanished, the sky above Sword Peak Mountain suddenly began to quake, and thunderclouds rolled in.

WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~ WHOOSH~

A fierce gale erupted. The void warped as a terrifying Power of Space tore and churned through the air.

On the distant horizon, wave after wave of thick fog billowed and surged, roaring across the landscape.

"The Rule Array Hub has been destroyed! The Domain is collapsing! Let’s go, quickly!"

At the edge of the marshland, a single shout sent the gathered crowd scattering in an instant, all of them fleeing toward the exit.

SWOOSH!

Gu Zheng deactivated his Bronze Elephant Body, leaped from the summit, cleared the marshland, and landed in front of Pang Hu.

"This place is about to disappear. I have to leave. Are you coming with me?"
