The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

"It must be that they took advantage of the chaos to arrest some people and hold the event."

"The gods they summoned weren't some kind of evil deity or anything like that?"

Pei Huan didn't say anything. She also felt it was unreliable, but there was no other way at the moment.

"This is all we can hope for."

Bai Yao did not refute this.

And indeed it is.

"If all else fails, let's gather some people and find a place to see if we can break through," Bai Yao said after a moment's hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go find someone..." Pei Huan nodded, as if she wanted to say something more.

The girl suddenly stopped sharpening her longsword.

She picked up the sword and gazed at the half of her delicate face reflected in the smooth blade.

"I'm going out for a bit," Bai Qian said to Bai Yao, tying her sword to her waist.

Bai Yao was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Is there a problem?"

"I want to wander around by myself and calm my mind." Her quiet eyes gazed in the direction of the city gate.

Her slender fingers gently gripped the sword hilt.

Volume 1: Chapter 87, Leaving the City

Bai Yao did not stop Bai Qian, or rather, there was no reason for her to stop her.

After all, it's normal to just go out for a walk to clear your head. Given the current situation in the city, it's not just Bai Qian who's feeling frustrated; she herself is also quite agitated.

As for Bai Fengcheng now, it's not too chaotic yet.

Although the city is besieged by the evil tide, according to past records, the siege usually lasts for at least a month. They do not attack the city, but instead spread strange symptoms, like a plague, within the city until all the people in the city die and turn into those monstrous beasts.

She wasn't too worried about Bai Qian. There probably weren't many people in the entire city who could threaten Bai Qian, so instead of worrying about that, she should think about how to find someone and how to break through the encirclement formed by the beasts outside.

Pei Huan's expression was a bit strange, but after hesitating for a moment, he said nothing and watched Bai Qian leave with her sword.

"I'll go look for someone later. I should be able to find them, as long as the government officials don't do anything reckless."

"Hmm, I'll take a look too." Pei Huan's attention was slightly distracted as he watched Bai Qian's departing figure.

"That brat Huang Hu has disappeared." Huang Nan touched the jade in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke.

Standing opposite Huang Nan was a young man dressed in a yellow and black robe. He shook his head when he heard his family head's question.

"As you instructed, I caused trouble for the Pei Lin Chamber of Commerce, and that was it."

"Just now."

Upon hearing this, Huang Nan silently touched the jade.

"Was it like this before? Have you figured out the reason?"

"...Not yet." The young man shook his head in slight silence.

“The Pei Lin Chamber of Commerce must have someone protecting them, but they shouldn’t be able to extend their reach so far in our Bai Feng City.”

"None of the martial artists they brought have opened their meridians yet. They are just a few martial artists who have entered the realm. They can be dealt with by two or three White Phoenix people."

"And then?" Huang Nan smiled.

"I don't care what you do, just get this matter straight."

"You should know the situation outside the city. We're surrounded by those beasts, and no one can escape. The bastards at Baifeng Temple are planning to speed things up."

The young man was taken aback by what he heard and glanced out the window.

"Speed ​​up? Isn't the current pace fast enough?"

"How would I know? Anyway, I just heard it say that Lady White Phoenix wanted to come over as soon as possible, as if something was attracting her."

“If He returns, He will need a lot of offerings,” Huang Nan said, his words seemingly implying something.

Upon hearing this, the young man hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"I understand. I'll go collect more. The processing is the same as before: cut off the limbs?"

“Take care of more of them. They complained to me about it. Read more books. Human pigs aren’t just about cutting off their limbs. You can ask around later.” Huang Nan didn’t explain to the young man. After speaking, he waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

The young man nodded and was about to leave.

"Then I'll just send someone to arrest those people from Pei Lin's Chamber of Commerce. If Bai Fengren isn't an option, I'll have someone else take the fall?"

"You decide for yourself. Just make sure you have enough blood offerings for the sacrifice as soon as possible. If you don't have enough, we'll probably have to rely on our family."

"understood."

The sky was slowly darkening, dusk was approaching, and people's shadows were stretched long.

The city gate of Baifeng City was still bustling.

However, the excitement this time was noticeably different from before.

What happens outside the city cannot be kept secret. Even if the government wants to conceal it, as long as people look at the city wall, they will find out.

Besides, the government didn't intend to hide it; they were just preventing people from leaving the city.

Compared to the daytime, there was no one at the city gate. It wasn't because the soldiers had driven them away; they had been dutifully guarding the gate all along. It was simply because there were two more things at the city gate compared to the daytime.

Two black and red demons lingered at the city gate, where several corpses lay on the ground.

It is natural that where people gather, ghosts will arise. Although these things are not like diseases, which spread through air or contact, they spread through people's hearts.

When the mind becomes agitated, nonsensical thoughts arise, and excessively strong delusions emerge, this is how it will turn out.

The twilight cast a long shadow of the girl in white, its orange-yellow hue reflected on her pristine white dress.

The ghosts loitering around the city gate seemed to sense Bai Qian's approach and turned to look at her in unison.

Two pairs of greedy eyes watched Bai Qian slowly approach.

At the same time, he rushed towards Bai Qian.

The dark red and black colors appeared quite deep in the twilight. They ran very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in front of Bai Qian.

Their bodies seemed unable to maintain their human form, turning into two black and red gelatinous monsters, which Bai Qian vaguely remembered.

Slime? Actually, it's more like mud.

Things from a past life.

Her slender fingers pressed the sword.

The light of dusk illuminated the dust particles in the air.

The girl's movements did not falter at all. She walked quietly forward, ignoring the two demons beside her, no matter how they bared their fangs and claws at her.

Two gelatinous monsters passed by her.

She walked step by step toward the city gate.

The delusional ghost slowly came to a stop.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

It was as if water droplets fell into the water and silently sank into the ground.

It turned into bubbles and scattered on the ground, then the bubbles disappeared into the twilight.

Bai Qian walked to the city gate and looked up at the gate, which was almost invisible from the top.

The city gates were firmly shut, whether to guard against the evil spirits outside the city or the people inside.

They are probably still trying to prevent the people from leaving.

If the goal is to defend against wandering ghosts from outside, then it's probably unnecessary. Since they can already try to get in here, even ten more doors wouldn't make much difference, let alone this one.

It's like this now.

Bai Qian gazed at the city gate before her, extending her pale hand to rest on its rough surface. Beneath her fair skin, one could see delicate, bluish-purple veins.

She exerted slight force.

The city gate opened naturally.

There wasn't much noise, just the sound of chains and locks snapping, and it was only for a brief moment.

It was much faster than battering rams or similar weapons, and she easily pushed open the sealed city gates.

It's a scene that would probably leave anyone stunned, but no one here saw it.

Instead of pushing the door open directly, Bai Qian walked out through the crack in the door.

As dusk gradually falls, the dark eyes reflect the dim yellow light, illuminating the continuous walls.

There were countless figures, and they were quite a distance from the city gate, so they were not very clear at this time.

But there's no need to count them clearly or see them clearly.

Bai Qian raised her sword and took a step slowly, stepping onto the last shadow of dusk.

Volume 1: 88. Is it that amazing?

Qu Hong lay on the soil, looking at the completely dark sky, his heart pounding.

He didn't know what had gotten into him that made him dare to leave the city like that.

Knowing there are so many monsters outside the city, they still sneaked out.

Next to him lay another young man with a missing arm, who was lying there in obvious pain.

Qu Hong glanced at him and thought to himself that it was all over.

Five men, all strong and skilled in martial arts, were heading out of the city. Their purpose was, of course, to escape.

They're not stupid; they know that if they don't run now, they won't be able to run in a few days.

Food supplies in the city are limited. Being trapped for two or three days might be fine, but what if it's a week or a month?

The monsters outside the city have only just surrounded us. From the city wall, there are always gaps among them, and we might be able to escape through those gaps.

It's not a truly impregnable wall; after all, they can't all stand neatly together. There are gaps between them, and some gaps are quite large, so there's always a chance for someone to escape.

If you can take care of one or two of the monsters, you can escape from under this oppressive, dark red city wall by following these gaps.

At the very beginning, Qu Hong and his team really had this idea, and they did just that.

Whether their predictions were correct or not, they had no idea, since the first step of their plan had failed.

They encountered a monster, a black and red leopard.

According to the plan, we will deal with it together.

Then most of them died.

It wasn't actually serious; it just treated them with a leisurely and playful attitude.

Even so, he and another person still managed to escape back in a sorry state.

It didn't run away, because it was still chasing after it.

Qu Hong didn't even dare to show his face, because he was afraid that if he did, he would see that despairing black and red figure.

And such figures are countless around this city.

Qu Hong was puzzled. Where did these things come from? They had practiced martial arts for so many years, but they couldn't even look at others properly, let alone fight them.

Is God really this unfair?

Panting, he carefully looked around and focused his gaze on the city gate not far away.

Running away is definitely out of the question now, so we might as well try to go back to the city.

Regardless of how long the siege will last or whether escape is possible.
