The rain from the sky grew increasingly torrential, and everywhere in sight was engulfed by mud.
He glanced at the skeletons that were gradually being buried by mud and water, and some wooden frames that had been dismantled and broken into pieces, which must have been the sedan chair that carried him up the mountain.
Lightning streaked across the black sky, illuminating the scene before them.
Bai Qian glanced at the dilapidated temple.
Let's hide inside for now.
I walked back to the temple step by step. Although the temple looked small and dilapidated, it could still provide shelter from the wind and rain.
The rustling sounds in the temple have disappeared; those who deserved to die are dead, and those who needed to escape have escaped.
Lightning streamed through the cracks, illuminating the scene inside the temple. Several skeletons were casually placed in a corner of the temple, their deaths seemingly unpredictable.
Bai Qian had no interest in investigating the matter, but as for being afraid, she wasn't really.
Looking up at the dilapidated statue in the temple, he thought for a moment and then placed the sign he had just used to poke rats back in front of the statue.
The creaking sound of the wood reached my ears as a mouse fell from the beam, along with a book that had been gnawed in half.
The mouse was kicked away by Bai Qian, who bent down to pick up the book from the ground.
A pale arm came into Bai Qian's view.
She looked up and glanced ahead in confusion.
The woman's stiff, pale face appeared in the lightning.
Sensing Bai Qian looking over, she revealed a grim and sinister smile, her body contorted, and the white robe she wore resembled a trailing tail.
"Why is the little girl here all alone?" The malicious words were like needles, pricking her, or perhaps it should be described as the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard.
Bai Qian remained unmoved, the black color in her eyes unchanged.
The answer to her face was the sole of Bai Qian's shoe.
Volume 1: 4. Mysterious Lifespan
The rain outside the temple kept falling, and the temple itself was far from quiet.
The woman, who resembled a snake, was crushed by Bai Qian's foot, like an eggshell on the ground, thin and easily broken.
The reason it's described this way is probably because there wasn't much feedback.
Like the rat lying outside the temple, although Bai Qian didn't feel anything for it, and the impact it had on her was probably less than the rats hanging on the walls inside the temple, kicking it would still elicit a response.
If you kick it, it will feel pain, it will be kicked away, and it will bleed and have its brains spill out.
But the woman in the white robe wouldn't.
Mentioning her is like stepping on a wisp of smoke; you can watch the smoke dissipate, but you can't feel anything under your feet.
Bai Qian dislikes having blood on her feet, but in this situation, perhaps a little blood on her feet would be more reassuring.
A chilling wind swept through the cramped temple, and a flash of lightning illuminated the girl's face, as well as the white-robed woman who reappeared in the corner.
She remained deathly pale, a strange smile on her face, as if Bai Qian's wiping of her face with her foot had had no effect whatsoever.
“It’s dangerous for someone to be alone in a temple,” she said, as the temple door behind her was flung open by a strong gust of wind.
Bai Qian had just put the temple door back up; after all, you can't take shelter from the rain in a temple without a door.
The wind whipped at their clothes, and the cold air seeped into Bai Qian's garments.
It felt like someone was breathing in my ear, one breath after another without stopping.
Bai Qian thought of the old people's words that used to scare children, such as the old woman with a cat-like face who eats children.
She's somewhat similar to the woman in white robes right now, but the cat-faced old lady might be a bit more frightening. An old woman with a cat face... if you think about it, she'd probably only bully children. A cat plus an old woman... she probably couldn't beat an adult, right?
Of course, both of them have a sense of being presumptuous.
It's as if they think they can scare someone.
Bai Qian waited in place for a while, but the white-robed woman opposite her didn't make a sound.
It wasn't completely silent; one after another, white ribbons appeared on the ground, crawling like snakes.
It looks a bit like something used for hanging oneself.
They approached Bai Qian silently, as if burying their heads in the sand, without making a sound.
If Bai Qian were blind, she might have fallen victim to this.
Bai Qian glanced at the woman in white robes, then focused her gaze on a dark corner of the temple.
Ignoring the white ribbons on the ground, I walked toward this corner.
The woman, who had been wearing a strange smile, froze upon seeing this scene, and then her smile turned into a ferocious grin.
The slow ribbon went from slow to fast in less than a second.
However, Bai Qian reacted even faster.
The sound of tearing fabric echoed in the temple, where only the sound of rain could be heard. Bai Qian didn't even turn her head; she simply turned around and kicked the white silk ribbon rushing towards her, shattering it.
Fragments of white cloth fluttered wildly in the humid air.
Bai Qian didn't turn around, and kept walking until she reached a dark corner of the temple.
The stench of fresh blood seeped into my nose, and shadows lurked around.
There was no lightning, as if light could not penetrate the temple at this moment.
"I gave you a chance." She whispered behind Bai Qian, and without anyone noticing, she was lying next to Bai Qian, whispering in the girl's ear.
It was a black and yellow earthenware jar.
The earthenware jar used to hold water was simply larger than a normal earthenware jar.
The shadow flowed along its edge.
A cold hand gently caressed the girl's skin.
Each touch leaves a bluish-purple patch.
“It’s not too late now,” she said softly.
Bai Qian turned her head and met the woman's lifeless, unfocused gray eyes.
Lift your foot.
The seemingly sturdy earthenware jar was kicked and shattered.
"And then?" Bai Qian asked.
The woman's figure slowly vanished from Bai Qian's sight.
But she did not disappear.
Bai Qian took a step back.
Watching the yellowish-black earthenware jar crack one piece after another, and blackish-red liquid slowly seeping out from the cracks.
It looked like sludge, or perhaps the slime secreted by some kind of monster.
They flowed on the ground, and Bai Qian took another step back.
It looks like something even more disgusting than brain matter.
Bai Qian is not afraid of these demons and monsters, even without the Cloud Leg technique, since she is not afraid of death, so naturally she has no fear of these things.
But she has obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness.
The earthenware jar cracked open, revealing something that looked like mud inside.
The stench of decay and blood... the smells spreading in the air seemed to be telling Bai Qian this.
Is it soil?
Or perhaps it should be described as a dark reddish-brown mass of flesh that has solidified into blood and blood.
And these things that look like they're growing in the soil aren't plants.
One by one, severed limbs and broken arms protruded from the 'soil'.
Bai Qian glanced at her shoes.
I'm pondering whether it's better to kick it and get covered in these things, or to run away now and get covered in mud and water.
Why don't I practice martial arts like the Lianyun Sword? I'd prefer the Lianyun Spear or a machine gun.
In that case, perhaps we wouldn't have to worry about getting involved with those disgusting-looking things.
Bai Qian had no choice.
The 'mud' covered in severed limbs was already walking towards her.
Bai Qian hesitated for a moment, then aimed at the side of the vessel still bearing fragments of the earthenware jar, and kicked it out.
This time there was feedback.
The tiles shattered, and fragments crashed into the soil with terrifying force.
If the previous kick didn't shatter it, then this one can be said to have hit the bullseye.
The blood clot broke apart, and black liquid spilled onto the ground.
Buried beneath the flesh and blood, limbs, internal organs, and head lay on the sticky blood clots, along with what looked like a torso that had been cut open—probably a woman's body.
[Defeat the Bizarre [Zhi Gui - Incomplete Clone] and gain thirty years of the Bizarre's lifespan.]
[The remaining lifespan of the demon is 23 years, and the remaining lifespan of the strange entity is 30 years.]
It was resolved very easily, leaving Bai Qian with little sense of reality.
A bizarre lifespan?
She raised her eyebrows slightly, took two steps back, and avoided the flowing black, oil-like liquid.
A jet-black plus sign appeared behind the Lianyun Leg, completely different from the previous shiny color.
[The Mysterious Lifespan can aid in the cultivation of special techniques. Should I consume the Mysterious Lifespan to cultivate the Cloud-Connecting Leg technique?]
[Warning: Techniques that consume bizarre lifespan will undergo unknown mutations. Please consider this carefully.]
Volume 1: 5. The Cloud-Linked Leg Technique
[In the first year, you died. The disease gradually destroyed your body. In less than half a year, despite many treatments, you still succumbed to the pain and were hastily buried in a mass grave.]
[The following year, you awoke from the chaos and found yourself in a strange state, unlike a living person. You felt neither hunger nor pain; your body was numb, and you wandered like a lost ghost before a grave.]
[In the third year, perhaps due to the passage of time, you gradually regained your sanity, and your physical state became increasingly solid. During this time, you encountered things similar to yours, and you learned that you were collectively referred to as the supernatural.]
In the fourth year, you escaped from a bizarre force. These creatures devour each other to grow stronger. During your escape, you discovered you could use a technique to increase your speed, which you suspect might be related to the Cloud-Piercing Kick you learned in your previous life.
[In the seventh year, after repeatedly using the Continuous Cloud Leg technique to escape from the supernatural, you realized that using the Continuous Cloud Leg technique requires consuming the lifespan of the supernatural being, while not consuming lifespan would require consuming the legs of a living person.]
In the ninth year, you found a way to improve the Lianyun Leg technique. Aside from forcibly consuming your lifespan, the only remaining method was to enhance it by eating people.
[Obtain the Lianyun Leg (E - Weird)]
They didn't continue, because the information being conveyed was already serious enough.
A series of messages flashed through Bai Qian's vision, and she gave them a special look.
It seems like two different systems?
Bai Qian was able to guess that Lianyun Leg and Lianyun Leg·Gui seemed to be two completely different things.
It seems I can use these two different abilities independently?
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to try using this so-called Lianyun Leg - Deceptive.
An inexplicable throbbing sensation spread through her heart, and Bai Qian could clearly feel her body gradually transforming into a transparent color, her fair skin turning into a clear hue.
Especially her legs, her slender legs lost sensation, felt light and airy... to describe it specifically, it felt like the white-robed woman in the temple before.
Flying?
Bai Qian paused for a moment, then hesitated as she looked at the ground receding into the distance.
Now I really can't feel anything at all. My whole body feels numb, and I can't feel anything except for the cold sensation.
