Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

On the ruins.

It took a long time for the Demon Suppression Guards to slowly calm down.

"Too powerful! This king-physique expert named Gu is almost suppressing the Thousand-Armed Evil God!"

"Yes, the Thousand-Armed Evil God tried to escape later, but was killed just after leaving the county town."

"And the other person is quite young, looking younger than me."

"That person has a secret to keep his youth. A person at the Heroic Body Realm can live for nearly 400 years, not to mention the King Body Realm? If one's strength reaches the King Body Realm, it should be easy to make oneself younger."

"..."

The few demon-suppressing guards who had managed to survive were filled with envy, admiration, and emotion.

"You are wrong."

Cheng Zong finally recovered from his shock and said quietly, "Master Gu is younger than all of you."

Ok?
"Master Cheng, what did you say?" A bearded demon-suppressing guard asked in confusion, "The powerful king-body warrior named Gu who saved us is younger than us? Xiao Wu is the youngest among us, but he is also 24 years old."

"Yeah, younger than me? How is that possible!" Xiao Wu was stunned.

"Lord Gu is twenty-three this year." Cheng Zong had a complicated expression.

"What!?"

"Impossible. A 23-year-old king? How is this possible!"

"Master Cheng, are you kidding us?"

"..."

Several demon-suppressing guards were shocked and stunned, their faces full of disbelief.

Cheng Zong didn't explain too much, he just said sadly, "Lord Gu's full name is Gu Zheng. Yes, it's the Gu Zheng you know, General Gu."

"..."

silence.

Inside and outside the ruins, there was a deathly silence in an instant.

The Demon Suppression Guards who were still arguing and unable to accept the situation opened their mouths and eyes wide, their faces dull and their eyes dazed.

Gu Zheng?

The "Lord Gu" in the royal body is the demon-slaying general, Gu Zheng, one of the seven demon-slaying generals, Gu Ping'an! ?

They all knew Gu Ping'an, but they had never met him.

But this does not prevent them from admiring and worshipping Gu Zheng.

Start with small flags and take one step at a time.

Gu Zheng's experience is a legendary record in the entire Jing Kingdom's Demon Slaying System.

This kind of genius that only appears once in a century, unless there are any accidents, will have a 90% chance of being promoted to the king level in the future.

It’s a matter of time and length.

Everyone was also privately speculating that Gu Zheng would be able to break through to the King Body within a few years.

Even the most conservative people would guess that it would take ten years.

How long has it been now?

It has only been a short time, but Gu Zheng has already broken through and reached the King Body! ?
silence.

Several Demon Suppression Guards were also stunned by this shocking news, their minds went blank.

Cheng Zong did not disturb them. He just stood there, looking at the eastern sky, and remained silent for a long time.

……

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

The shrill sound of breaking wind whistled through the mountains and forests.

Accompanied by an unusual noise, the bodies of more than thirty fleeing men and women froze at the same time, and then fell to the ground one after another with "thump, thump".

I saw a big hole in everyone's heart, and blood mixed with flesh was pouring out of it.

Soul capturing!

[Demon Points +21]

[Demon Points +22]

……

A wave of harvest!
There were not many evil cultists who escaped, only a little over a hundred.

Gu Zheng killed all of them without leaving any one behind.

Then, holding the demon-hunting pot, he sensed the area within a radius of ten thousand meters and locked onto the nearby demons.

Hiding or being invisible.

No demon within range can escape.

Gu Zheng found them one by one, killed them, and gained demon points.

This hunting trip lasted another two days.

To break through the second stage of the King Body, there is still more than 20,000 demon points needed.

Gu Zheng’s plan was to gather enough demon points, complete the breakthrough, and then go to the Kang Kingdom Palace.

The improvement of the overall strength by Tongshen is limited, but the auxiliary ability it possesses is particularly significant.

It doesn’t mean that the current Gu Zheng cannot monitor the Royal Palace of Kang State.

Rather, this kind of monitoring is a manifestation of the outward release of spiritual power.

The existence under the king's body could not discover Gu Zheng.

But once there is a royal body in the palace of King Kang, the other party will be able to detect it.

It’s different when all the five supernatural powers are opened.

This is to receive information from the outside world and gather it in the mind.

One is active and the other is passive.

Being active will attract attention, while being passive is very safe.

Shanbei Ding, Yuanlong Ding and Jiannan Ding.

The last three tripods, let’s deal with Shanbei first!

……

……

Luozhou.

Qingyang Prefecture.

In a county town.

"Meet General Zuo!"

"Meet General Zuo!"

"..."

At the Demon Slaying Division headquarters in the city, a group of Demon Suppression Guards saluted and shouted to Zuo Lingfeng who walked into the gate.

"how's it going?"

Zuo Lingfeng raised his hand and said as he walked, "Are there any traces of the evil god cultists in the city?"

"General Zuo, we haven't found any yet." A middle-aged captain with a mustache answered with a bow, "However, there are more than a dozen demons that have invaded the city. We plan to catch them first, kill them all, and then continue to track the traces of the evil god's followers."

"Do we need so many of you to deal with a dozen demons?"

Zuo Lingfeng said coldly, "Leave one-third of the people behind, it will be enough to deal with them. The others continue to search. No one is allowed to rest until the evil cult is found!"

"Yes!!"

In the yard, all the Demon Suppression Guards responded in unison.

Everyone's face was solemn and their expressions were serious.

Looking closely at his eyes, he could see a hint of fear that was hard to conceal.

Cultists of the evil god... no, to be precise, the evil god!
These people have been ordered to track down an evil cult that came from the neighboring Jinyang Prefecture over the past half month.

The evil god's clones and incarnations behind this evil cult caused a tragedy in Jinyang Prefecture half a month ago, which shocked Luozhou and even Hongzhou.

That was the city of Jinyang Prefecture, where hundreds of thousands of people died overnight!

There were no wounds on the body and after an autopsy, most of the organs were found to be intact, but the person was dead.

The evil god who committed the tragedy had obviously devoured everyone's souls.

Zuo Lingfeng was ordered to come and investigate.

He brought the Demon-Suppressing Guards with him, starting from Jinyang Prefecture, and tracking all the way to Qingyang Prefecture.

Of course, they were only tracking the traces of the evil cult.

Having absorbed the souls of hundreds of thousands of people in a city, the incarnation and clone of the evil god must be of the fourth level.

The fourth-level evil god's clones and incarnations are not something they can deal with.

Their mission is to lock down the trail and invite a powerful king-level warrior to come.

However, this kind of tracking is extremely dangerous.

Even if you are a follower of the evil god, the probability of encountering the evil god's clone or incarnation is just as high.

Basically, once they encounter it, they will die.

Maybe Zuo Lingfeng can run away.

But them?
"..."

"I know everyone is under a lot of pressure." After scolding, Zuo Lingfeng slowed down his tone and said softly, "To be honest, I'm afraid too. But if we don't find out who the other party is, the next city to suffer may be Qingyang Prefecture, and the next city will be Rongyang Prefecture. And so on until it reaches the provincial capital. We can retreat now, but in the end the entire Luozhou will fall and be killed by the evil god. Who do you think will be spared?" Silence.

The demon-suppressing guards lowered their heads and said nothing.

If everyone in Luozhou died, none of them would be able to escape.

Even if the evil god was killed afterwards, they would not survive.

Knowing this, everyone is still tracking him everywhere despite their fear.

The sooner we uncover the evil behind the scenes, the sooner we can relax.

"Everyone, don't worry."

After a pause, Zuo Lingfeng continued, "Gu Zheng, General Gu, and King Gu of Fengzhou. I'm sure everyone has heard about it. General Gu and I are good friends, and I have his communication point. Once I find any trace of the evil god, I will send a message to him immediately."

"Fengzhou and Luozhou are right next to us. With General Gu's strength as a king, it would only take him half a cup of tea to get here, or even less."

"So, in terms of safety, we are not without any guarantee. As long as everyone is careful and avoids encountering the evil god's clone, we can still retreat."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions eased slightly.

"Gu Zheng, General Gu, King Gu! This General Gu is so amazing, he has become a king."

"Yeah, compared to us, I feel like I've lived my life in vain."

"Fortunately, General Zuo and General Gu have a close relationship, so we can invite each other."

"Hey~ I believe that General Zuo will be able to be promoted to King Body in the near future!"

"Yep!"

"..."

A group of Demon Suppression Guards spoke up one after another, expressing their admiration and envy for Gu Zheng.

When they came to their senses, Zuo Lingfeng and Gu Zheng, who were once equally famous as the Seven Demon Slayers, stopped worshipping and turned to complimenting them.

No one dares to guess what Zuo Lingfeng, who was once as famous as Gu Zheng, was thinking when he was praising Gu Zheng.

In fact, the two of them entered the Haoti realm together and were originally people of the same level.

Now a big step is directly opened up, like the difference between a high mountain and a low slope.

Could it be that Zuo Lingfeng had no thoughts in his mind?
Anyone would have the same idea!
……

Zuo Lingfeng does have an idea.

It's not jealousy.

When the news came that Gu Zheng had been promoted to King Body, Zuo Lingfeng was shocked at first, then delighted, and was happy for Gu Zheng's breakthrough.

But after the joy, there are waves of pressure.

As others saw it, Gu Zheng and he were originally on the same level.

Now one is in the king body and the other is in the second stage of the heroic body.

The gap is visibly separated and difficult to cross.

You know how many people are stuck at the peak of their physical fitness and cannot make any further progress in their entire lives.

Not to mention the "half-king" who has opened his heart sea but is unable to give birth to a realm.

Throughout history, there have been only a few king bodies.

Those who can achieve breakthroughs are all geniuses among geniuses.

In the eyes of others, Zuo Lingfeng is also a genius.

But compared to Gu Zheng, there is still a long way to go.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Zuo Lingfeng has good luck. With the benefits he gained in the Ninth Heaven Shadow Domain, he can also be promoted to the King Body as long as he is given time.

It's just that the time cannot be as fast as Gu Zheng's.

The minimum guarantee is two to three years...

Hey!
I sighed in my heart for no apparent reason.

Zuo Lingfeng shook his head and suppressed his emotions.

After calming them down, everyone dispersed and continued searching for traces of the Evil God Cult.

By evening, there was no harvest.

The next day, everyone went out of the city to search.

All demons encountered on the road will be killed.

However, no trace of the evil cultists was ever found.

……

……

Toyosu.

North, Linjiang Prefecture.

In a county town.

"Huhuhu~"

Buzz!

The space trembled, and the ripples it caused spread out in large areas like water waves.

The urban area southeast of the county had already turned into ruins, and the interior was filled with corpses, some of which were incomplete.

In mid-air, thick and long cylindrical tentacles spread across the sky, like a giant net, covering the county town.

Swish swish swish~
The tentacles shuttled back and forth, moving rapidly and continuously. The breath and waves generated by them stirred up the power of heaven and earth, and the sound of wind they created hit the ground and destroyed houses.

In the county town, screams and cries were heard everywhere, but they were getting less and less.

Because when the tentacles hear the sound, they will descend from the air and suck the person who made the sound over. They will first stick to the surface of the tentacles and then dissolve and swallow the person in just three breaths.

Flesh, blood, and bones, all sucked in!

As a result, the shouting in the city quickly decreased.

But the tentacles in the air were still flying and shuttling back and forth, constantly landing and wandering in the streets and alleys.

From time to time, they would drill into houses or cause them to collapse.

The rumbling sound occurred every once in a while.

until……

“Swoosh~swoosh~swoosh~!”

Suddenly, streaks of light appeared in the southern sky.

The light turned into a knife, appeared and disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had already landed next to the thick tentacles.

Puff~Puff~Puff!

The blade was as sharp as a thread, cutting off the thick tentacles and slicing them into pieces.

The spilled demon blood, with its corrosive power, left pits on the bluestone floor and walls.

The people hiding in houses and basements did not see it and successfully avoided it.

As for those who did not hide, they were basically dead.

"Human King Body?"

The deep, rich voice, like a megaphone, echoed in the air.

The source of the tentacles, or the center, is a mass of tumors, which is itself an evil ball of flesh. It vibrates the air and makes sounds.

"Come on, I have never tasted the human king's body..."

Whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, the tentacles that had been broken off quickly grew out again, or simply grew out one section at a time from the broken ends, with both front and back ends, and launched a charge towards the southern sky.

Huhuhu~
The shrill sound of breaking wind was particularly eye-catching under the light of the knife.

but……

"Puff puff!"

As the sword swept across, all the tentacles were cut off again. This time, they were cut more thoroughly and turned into pieces.

Tsk~!

At the same time, a ray of bright light slashed down from the sky and headed straight for the meatball.

"Humph!"

A cold shout.

The ugly flesh ball vibrated, and the broken tentacles ignored it, instead condensing a large amount of blood-colored mist around itself, turning into waves of evil and strange energy, swallowing up the fallen rays of light. In the blink of an eye, the energy merged and pieced together to form a blood-shadow divine domain.

The huge divine domain, as soon as it was born, spread out downward, attempting to cover the entire county.

Boom~!

There was a sudden loud noise.

Tornadoes and hurricanes, accompanied by blazing knife lights, arrived at the county town from the south, blocking the divine realm from being engulfed.

Chichi~
boom! boom!
The tornado hurricane and the blazing fire blade, two forces, one in front and one behind, from bottom to top, first hold up the divine realm, then drive away the divine realm, pushing it into the air.

Bang~! !
A loud noise like thunder resounded throughout the city.

The evil divine realm roared into the sky.

"Damn it!"

A deep, rich voice, tinged with anger.

The rising divine domain exploded with a loud bang, and turned into a ball of long snake-shaped energy that was similar to tentacles, but several times larger than tentacles. It spread out and pounced on the tornado, hurricane, and scorching fire knife.

With just the first bite, it swallowed up most of the tornado! (End of this chapter)
