The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Bai Qian raised her head and looked at the sky. She had just used the furnace fire to engulf the strange things in the city. Although it was about the same speed as the talisman in engulfing the strange things, Bai Qian and the talisman were different.

The talisman needs to absorb all the strange power into the body, transform it into yin energy, and then accumulate it.

But Bai Qian didn't need to. For her, all she needed to do was release all the fire the moment she swallowed up these strange things.

If the previous sword light couldn't break through this sea of ​​light chains, then just double the output, and if that doesn't work, double it again. Even if these strange powers are just used as disposable consumables, that would be enough.

The two talismans fell gently to the ground.

A slightly heavy aura drifted into the air.

This aura appeared along with the talisman being torn open.

Bai Qian and Ling Xi could both clearly sense this aura, just like a rainbow after the rain.

But in this particular scene, it is clear that this is not a rainbow.

It was as if a mountain had quietly covered the sky at that moment.

I don’t know if it’s some kind of illusion, but I can sense a gaze slowly coming towards me, but I have no idea where it comes from.

The talisman lay quietly on the ground, while the mountain above it became increasingly solid.

Bai Qian raised her hand, not caring about anything else. Regardless of what it was, she would first send a sword flying at it. If it survived, then she would consider other things.

Before Bai Qian could make a move, Ling Xi suddenly took action.

He hurriedly came to Bai Qian.

Bai Qian glanced at her with slight confusion, not understanding why.

Lingxi didn't explain; instead, she simply grabbed Bai Qian's arm, her expression serious and earnest.

The illusory mountain in the sky began to solidify, as if it were an imprint about to press down.

Bai Qian looked at Ling Xi, waiting for her to speak, when Ling Xi suddenly hugged Bai Qian. Bai Qian's eyes flickered, but she didn't make any move.

A blue light quietly shone around the two of them.

Then the space changed.

As the blue light dissipated, the two disappeared from the spot.

At the same time, the mark in the sky solidified and cast its gaze.

I saw this empty underworld.

I was a little disappointed. I thought there would be something interesting or interesting people coming from such a distance.

It looks like they've run away, the garrison is gone, they couldn't even hold back the people, they're incompetent.

I didn't go looking for anything; the mountains in the sky fell.

The entire underworld was shattered in an instant, and the fragments were grasped by a slender, pale hand and gently kneaded into a ball.

It emitted a pale white glow and was casually placed on the starry sky.

---

Once the space stabilized, they discovered that the two had left the underworld and returned to reality.

It was still that dilapidated alley, with a light drizzle falling and puddles on the ground.

Seeing the scene around her, Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Bai Qian.

As soon as Bai Qian was released, the black-haired girl in front of him was looking at him with her deep, mysterious eyes.

He shrank back, wanting to take a couple of steps back, only to find that Bai Qian was gently holding his hand. She looked at him quietly without saying a word.

Lingxi felt slightly guilty, but didn't regret it too much.

"What is that?" Bai Qian released her grip on Ling Xi's hand.

The question was, of course, about the talisman from earlier; Bai Qian knew why Ling Xi had done that.

Bai Qian had just clearly sensed an ominous feeling, a feeling more intense than ever before.

Even if Lingxi hadn't done that, she probably would have taken Lingxi away before then. That's why she didn't resist Lingxi just now, otherwise Lingxi wouldn't have been able to take her away.

Bai Qian is illiterate, but she is not stupid. Just like when she dealt with the rat demon, since she knew she was no match for him, she didn't just blindly charge in. She would dodge and then look for an opportunity. All she lacked was time.

Besides, the trip to the underworld was quite fruitful.

But it was precisely because of this that Bai Qian became even more curious about what this thing was.

Upon hearing Bai Qian's question, Ling Xi pursed her lips, a troubled expression appearing on her beautiful face.

"The King of the Underworld, you can call him the Lord of Mount Tai, a very powerful deity."

Bai Qian had heard Ling Xi mention this word before.

"Are there specific ranks?" he asked.

When Lingxi heard Bai Qian's question, she didn't know how to answer it.

"There should be."

"But all I know is that I went into the sea, but I don't know exactly where in the sea." This kind of thing is too far removed from her, so it's impossible for her to know.

"ocean?"

"It was proposed by Hong, the author of 'Hong Ji'. He said that the world is a sea of ​​suffering, and we humans, whether we are demons or anything else, are just struggling in this sea of ​​suffering. Most of us are probably still just wandering in the shallow waters, and haven't even found the way to cross the sea."

"I've heard that to find the way across the sea, one must go beyond the True Essence, or, by your standards, beyond the Martial God realm."

"There are many ways to cross the sea: you can cross by stepping on a bridge, by taking a boat, or by swimming. Once you find the direction to cross the sea, the next thing to consider is the distance to cross. I heard that's just the beginning."

Bai Qian caught the falling raindrops with her fingers, listening to Ling Xi's explanation beside her.

Many unfamiliar words.

"Is the Divine Will related to the God of War?"

"Mm." Lingxi nodded.

Gazing at Bai Qian's exquisite face before her, her eyes flickered slightly.

Lingxi lifted her robe and knelt down before Bai Qian without hesitation.

"?"

Bai Qian reacted quickly, pulling the girl back with her hand to prevent her from kneeling down.

Faced with Bai Qian's questioning gaze, Ling Xi remained resolute.

"If it weren't for you today, we might still be stuck here. Even kneeling down wouldn't be enough to express my gratitude," she said softly, her voice weak.

"I don't have anything else to do to repay you, so I can only express my gratitude in this way. Thank you so much for your help."

Bai Qian pulled her along, glancing at the gloomy, hazy sky.

Although it's not really possible to read Lingxi's mind, there are some things in Lingxi's mind that can be discerned without reading them.

Bai Qian stared intently at Ling Xi, perhaps feeling a little guilty herself, before Ling Xi carefully stood up.

"I have something I'd like to ask you," she said softly, turning her head slightly.

"You saw what just happened in the underworld. There's no need to worry about the Lord of Mount Tai. The Great Underworld is far away from us. As long as we don't make contact with Him, He won't come looking for us."

“But what about the Qinglang Gang now…” she hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a slightly soft and sweet voice.

"I need your help to deal with this." Lingxi had no other choice. The current Chenghe God's side had no reliable fighting force at all. She couldn't hold on by herself alone. Now she had finally met someone who seemed trustworthy.

Judging from what just happened in the underworld, with this person's help, many of the current difficulties could be easily resolved. It's uncertain who is stronger between her and Qinglang, but none of the demons under Qinglang are a match for her.

Bai Qian didn't speak, but just quietly looked at her.

Knowing that her words weren't very persuasive or appealing, Lingxi added, "We certainly won't let you help us for nothing. You can make any requests, and we'll try our best to fulfill them."

"We'll do anything to help you deal with the Qinglang Gang," she said pitifully, clutching Bai Qian's sleeve.

Volume 1: Chapter 143, The Lord Doesn't Care (Fourth Update)

Bai Qian did not agree to Ling Xi's request. They had only known each other for less than half a day, so it was unlikely that she could gain Ling Xi's trust so easily.

However, the matter Lingxi mentioned was not too difficult. Even if she hadn't brought it up, Bai Qian would probably have done it anyway, since the demons' lifespans were already limited, and it would be a waste not to take them.

But this doesn't mean Bai Qian has to agree to what Ling Xi said.

Seeing that Bai Qian did not agree, Ling Xi was not in a hurry. She gently waved her sleeve, causing the raindrops falling from the sky to move away from her and Bai Qian, forming something like an umbrella.

"Actually, the matter concerning Changcheng Mansion is quite complicated," she explained softly as she walked out of the alley with Bai Qian.

They knew that Bai Qian needed to figure things out before making a decision.

"First, let's talk about the River God. He was seriously injured due to some events and has been recuperating in his water palace. As for the Green Wave Gang, behind the Green Wave Gang is a python demon named Green Wave. It is a demon king, although it has only just stepped from the level of Exorcist to Demon King, it is still a demon king."

"It has some connection with the great demon in Liangdu. The reason it is targeting Chenghe God is to gain control of Chenghe, but there seems to be other reasons besides this."

Bai Qian walked into a nearby shop, politely took out a string of copper coins, and bought three meat pies, which should be made of beef, and were a bit expensive.

Bai Qian handed a piece to Lingxi, found a step to sit on, and began to eat it in small bites.

After thanking her, Lingxi sat down next to Bai Qian, glancing at her before carefully leaning closer.

"After that, I plan to first revive these people I brought out. There aren't many people left who still believe in the River God; these are about half of them. Then I'll have the River God communicate with you." He continued to explain in a low voice.

“You can discuss these matters with Him, and please believe that we have absolutely no ill intentions or thoughts towards you.”

Bai Qian simply nodded slightly upon hearing this. She wasn't too concerned about such matters; in fact, she had a fairly good impression of Ling Xi.

Perhaps it's because the two are about the same height? That might be the main reason.

There aren't many people with that height.

"Mmm." Nodding, Bai Qian answered indistinctly, gazing at the misty rain, while taking small bites of the meat pie.

He was slightly lost in thought, pondering what had just happened in the underworld.

It's certainly not true that he didn't care much about that Lord of Mount Tai.

[The monster's remaining lifespan is 146 years, while the strange one's lifespan is 623 years.]

The wave that just happened in the underworld gained an eerie three hundred years of lifespan, plus some snake demons that also increased the lifespan of other demons.

Although I spent some strange lifespan before, it wasn't too much. After all, I haven't learned many martial arts yet, just [Mountain Town] and [Empty Flow]. Although I've learned them, I haven't used them much, probably because they're not as easy to use as furnace fire.

However, since [Furnace Fire] can enhance the quality and quantity of Furnace Fire by devouring these bizarre incarnations, it is still quite worthwhile to spend the bizarre lifespan on this.

Bai Qian was already quite concerned about improving her strength, but after meeting the Lord of Mount Tai, she became even more so.

After thinking for a moment, he threw eighty years of the demon's lifespan into the [heart of the furnace].

[You continue your relentless cultivation. You have now reached the initial goal of this martial art, using yourself as a furnace to absorb and burn everything that enters your body. The furnace's fire grows ever stronger, and your life essence is undergoing an ultimate transformation. It can be said that at this stage, it is probably impossible to call you human; your life essence has transcended this realm.]

[Continuing to improve may allow life to reach a whole new level.]

Bai Qian examined the ambiguous statement carefully but couldn't discern its purpose. As for the so-called essence of life, Bai Qian was also unclear about it.

Anyway, she doesn't feel like she's changed at all. She's still hungry and needs to eat as usual, and her appetite has even increased a lot.

Regarding the strange lifespan, Bai Qian tried to add it to the strange incarnation she possessed.

There was no reaction, perhaps because the upper limit of the eerie incarnation is based on the martial arts it evolves from?

Therefore, it is still necessary to learn new martial arts, the more powerful the better.

Judging from the previous rate of consumption, this strange lifespan that I just obtained should be enough to support me in learning four or five new martial arts techniques.

Thinking this, Bai Qian ate the last piece of fresh meat pie in her hand before gently letting the rainwater wet her fingers, allowing the oil stains on her fingers to disappear silently.

I'll go back first and talk about the new martial arts tomorrow. There are quite a few martial arts schools in Changcheng Prefecture. If all else fails, I can ask the guy next to me. As the River God, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get some powerful martial arts techniques.

Lingxi, who had been in a daze, saw Bai Qian stand up and hurriedly stood up as well.

"You don't need to follow me anymore, I'm going home." Following behind Bai Qian, he saw her turn around and say this.

Lingxi nodded upon hearing this, but then shook her head.

She blinked and gave Bai Qian a pitiful look.

Bai Qian ignored her, but she still carefully followed.

The two disappeared into the rain with light, gentle steps.
