The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Live one day at a time.

Thinking this, he was about to pull the young man beside him and quietly continue walking towards the city gate.

In the dim light, the dark red figure could be vaguely seen.

The leopard, enveloped in a black and red liquid, stood not far away, its dark red beastly eyes fixed on them with a mocking gaze.

Like a cat playing with a mouse.

Qu Hong's heart skipped a beat, his mind overwhelmed by a strong sense of fear and crisis.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the young man next to him and ran away.

We're not far from the city gate now; if I go all out, I might have a chance to escape.

For some reason, these monsters dared not approach the city gate; if they could get there, they would have a chance.

Leopard Ghost watched Qu Hong's movements without any hurry, just slowly walking with cat-like steps, his body still dripping with bright red blood.

Qu Hong grabbed the young man, ignoring his still bleeding severed arm, and ran wildly.

What's the point of having an arm if you're already dead?

They passed by the figure in white.

Qu Hong paused, then slowed his pace.

I subconsciously turned my head and glanced at it.

Although dusk had fallen and the sky was somewhat dark, it was indeed a figure dressed in pure white.

She was slender and petite, even shorter than her own daughter.

If he were in the city, he would probably sigh and say something like, "You need to eat more, or you won't grow tall."

But the problem is, it's placed in this godforsaken place.

Is this normal?

If you see a figure in white blocking your way in the middle of the night, your first thought would be, "Is this a female ghost?"

Looking at the figure in white, Qu Hong hesitated for a moment, but still called out to her.

"You wait."

Bai Qian, who was walking ahead, stopped and turned around to look at Qu Hong in confusion.

Especially after glancing at the one-armed youth he was carrying.

"Is there something you need?" He was still very polite.

Qu Hong gazed at that delicate, aloof face.

Such a pretty girl, she can't be a ghost, right?

He was silent for a moment.

"Do you know where this is?" he asked after a moment's thought.

"Hmm?" Bai Qian blinked, not understanding Qu Hong's meaning.

"You came out alone?" Qu Hong asked, noticing the long sword Bai Qian was carrying.

Whose daughter is this, coming out with a sword?

"Hmm," Bai Qian replied indifferently.

"It's very dangerous outside. There are a lot of monsters. The one I'm carrying almost got eaten by one," Qu Hong advised.

Bai Qian nodded.

"How many monsters are there here?" I asked curiously.

Qu Hong shook his head.

"I don't know, we just encountered one, and it killed most of the five of us." Qu Hong shook his head with a solemn expression.

“We’ve all practiced martial arts for many years, and this is how we end up. What about you? I don’t know what you were thinking, rushing out of the city all by yourself. Hurry up and come back with us.” Qu Hong’s penchant for lecturing people kicked in.

"A girl like you would take a hundred of you to beat it, and you'd be lucky to overpower it."

"Huh?" Bai Qian blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"Is it really that powerful?"

"Hurry up while you can..." Qu Hong didn't want to say anything more. He figured the leopard would be here soon, and if they didn't run now, they wouldn't be able to escape.

Before he could finish speaking, a howling gust of wind swept in.

It had arrived near the three of them without them even realizing it.

Its silhouette could not be detected in the already dimly lit world.

It silently extended its sharp claws and immediately reached out towards the white-clad girl who had her back to it.

The claws, powerful enough to cut through steel, would tear that slender white figure to shreds in an instant.

Unaware of anything else, she continued to look at Qu Hong, uttering sighs without expression.

Qu Hong saw the black and red figure.

In Qu Hong's eyes at this moment, the leopard's not-so-large body was more terrifying than any demon in the world.

After all, he had watched it tear the three burly men who had come with him to pieces.

Now we're about to see this scene again.

Bai Qian didn't turn around; she continued to look at Qu Hong.

Qu Hong watched as she slowly raised her sword, and a bright light shone in the dim world, like water, like the moon.

The sword wasn't fast, yet it caught up with it.

It deliberately collided with the sword.

The tough, dark red skin was cut open, inch by inch, from head to toe. The blade went down, slicing open its head, throat, and heart, until it was completely cut in half.

Two lumps of soft, rotten flesh rolled twice on the ground, and the claws even bumped into Qu Hong's stiff feet. Dark red blood dripped from the bright sword tip onto the ground.

"Is it that amazing?" the girl asked doubtfully.

There will be more today, but it will probably be a bit later QAQ

Volume 1: Chapters 8 and 9, Sword Light Like Water

Qu Hong was somewhat confused.

He couldn't quite understand the scene before him; it was something he could easily comprehend, but he just couldn't see it.

Was it really that weak?

It cut him in two with a single sword strike?

Looking at the two halves of the body at his feet, he quickly shook his head.

If it's so weak, then what are we?

In the very first encounter, it killed most of them.

Since it's not that it's weak, then that means...

Qu Hong glanced at the girl in white in front of him.

Bai Qian glanced at the writhing, dark red flesh on the ground, her sword tip gleaming with a pale golden light, and casually made two slashes.

They stopped moving.

"You..." Qu Hong hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Bai Qian ignored him and instead picked up her sword, stepped over the flesh and blood in front of her, and continued walking forward.

The moonlight rose quietly in the sky, gently illuminating the world.

They were right in front of us, without making any move.

Or perhaps he was waiting for her.

Qu Hong saw those figures.

One after another, they were completely different from the scene he had just witnessed. No matter which figure it was, just looking at them made him feel a profound sense of terror.

Just looking at him like that... he felt like his lungs were being choked.

Bai Qian didn't say anything else to Qu Hong. She picked up her sword and continued walking forward, stepping into the darkness that was not illuminated by the moonlight.

Qu Hong stared blankly as her figure disappeared into the darkness.

----

Three or four figures in black and red watched the girl in white slowly approaching from the darkness.

“They’re here,” one of the delusional ghosts said, staring at her.

"If we coordinate our attack, even if she's incredibly strong, she shouldn't be able to handle it."

They are all sentient beings, so they were placed here as the first and most basic line of defense. There aren't actually that many sentient beings among the ghosts, and they also have to guard the area around Bai Feng City.

As for those brainless ones, they were assigned to the outer perimeter as the last line of defense. After all, if someone could actually break through to the outer perimeter, it probably wouldn't be of much use.

They don't care much about humans. They don't even have the interest to fight the five people who just ran over.

But things are different now.

They did not look down on the girl in white who came over; on the contrary, they regarded her with great respect.

It's not just about the ghost itself, but also about a vague premonition.

They knew the girl in white was not weak, and their leader had given orders that if they saw her leave the city, they should stop her at all costs.

I heard that it's because she killed several of its leader's people, so it seems to hate her to the bone right now. If it weren't for the order from above, it would definitely be attacking the city right now. The fact that it's still waiting here obediently is already quite patient.

A ghost dressed in red quietly approached, its black and red aura swirling around it.

Bai Qian walked forward, carrying her sword.

As soon as the red-clad demon approached, its black and red aura transformed into layers of ribbons around it.

He appeared in front of Bai Qian.

Bai Qian raised her eyebrows slightly and raised her sword when she saw it.

The red-clad ghost vanished from Bai Qian's sight in an instant.

At the same time, two serpentine demons, which looked almost identical, crossed over each other. They had mouths and sharp fangs, as if they were about to bite the girl's fair skin.

Bai Qian casually picked up the longsword, and the sword moved gently.

The two serpentine ghosts were severed by a single sword strike.

The red-clad demon appeared before Bai Qian, waving its bright red sleeves to obscure her vision with layers of fabric.

While trapping Bai Qian, they also blocked her view.

Bai Qian's movements were without the slightest hesitation; she simply repeated the action of swinging her sword.

The world formed by the red cloth was cleaved in two by the clear sword light. The red-clothed ghost didn't even have time to react until the sword light was right in front of it.

The sword flashed like water, and a black and red head rolled on the ground.

They were still wriggling, as if they still possessed reason or intelligence.

She stepped on them with her cloth shoes, her black hair cascading down, and Bai Qian continued forward.

One after another, sharp spikes flew in, only to be swept away by the sword light.

Three demons, transformed from wild beasts, charged again.

Bai Qian's eyes remained unchanged and undisturbed as she calmly held her longsword level.

One, two... several ghosts appeared around the girl, and several more heads rolled off the ground.

The few demons that had just appeared were all killed by the girl in an instant, and her sword was sharpened to a very fine point.

The number of demonic spirits around them increased rather than decreased, drawn by the aura emanating from the area, and they approached one after another.
