The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

Bai Qian raised the sign in her hand expressionlessly and threw it at the mouse closest to her. The other mouse that was close by was kicked away by Bai Qian again.

He had no time to care about the rat he had kicked away, because in the darkness, countless sinister shadows were quietly approaching.

Whether it was ten or twenty, they emerged from the darkness at the same time and charged towards the girl.

[In your second year of learning the Continuous Cloud Leg technique, you became increasingly proficient in it. Despite numerous illnesses, your exceptional aptitude for martial arts allowed you to achieve a minor level of mastery in the technique.]

In the fourth year, through your exceptional comprehension, you completed the incomplete Lianyun Leg technique, achieving mastery. Only then did you realize that it seemed there was no further improvement in your Lianyun Leg skills.

[You weren't convinced. For the next three years, you practiced the Lianyun Leg technique day after day, and finally you found some inspiration and realized how to take it to the next level.]

[In the eighth year, you mastered the Continuous Cloud Leg technique to the Grandmaster level. Although it was only a Level E martial art, the Continuous Cloud Leg technique had become a martial art that only you could master. Even the founder of this martial art was clearly not as proficient as you.]

The series of messages startled Bai Qian slightly. At the same time, she could also feel the changes occurring in her body, which were powers that were completely unfamiliar to her.

The sinister sounds didn't stop; instead, they became even more rampant. Perhaps realizing that a few rats on the ground wouldn't have any effect, more than a dozen rats emerged from the darkness simultaneously after exchanging rapid and sharp cries.

Greedy, malicious beastly eyes stared intently at the girl exposed to the light.

They want to eat themselves.

Bai Qian could sense from those gazes that if she let these rats get close, they would probably be devoured within ten seconds.

If it were me in the past, I probably wouldn't have been able to do anything. At most, I would have just stayed where I was, quietly waiting to die, and complaining about how unfair fate was.

Now...

Bai Qian gently lifted her leg, feeling this unfamiliar yet all-too-familiar power.

My toes scraped across the ground.

I don't know which move of the Continuous Cloud Leg technique it was, or if it was just an ordinary sweeping kick.

The howling of the wind suddenly appeared in the darkness, like the deafening sound of a gong.

These dozen or so rats had only just emerged from the darkness when they were all hanging on the wall.

Only drops of murky black blood slid down Bai Qian's cloth shoes.

[Current lifespan of the demon is eleven years]

The rustling sounds in the darkness stopped, replaced by frantic noises.

Bai Qian ignored the remaining rats in the darkness, hesitated for a moment, and then exhausted all the remaining lifespan of the demons.

[In the eleventh year, after reaching the Grandmaster stage, you noticed that the Cloud-Piercing Kick technique had stopped working. You had mastered this martial art to its limit, and it seemed that this martial art, which was only used to help people strengthen their bodies, had reached its limit.]

[In the thirteenth year, you nearly went mad in your pursuit of mastering the Cloud-Strike Leg technique. In return, it seems you've found a path to further advancement.]

[In the fifteenth year, you discovered a special power, which you called Qi Jin. Using this power to power the Lianyun Leg technique, its power is far greater than before.]

[In the sixteenth year, you perfected the Continuous Cloud Leg technique. By this time, it was perhaps completely different from the original martial art. It was also at this point that you realized this martial art had probably reached its limit, and could not be improved any further.]

[Lianyun Leg (E) → Lianyun Leg (D - Limit)]

Bai Qian stood in the temple, taking a slight breath. A few specks of light peeked into the temple through the cracks, adorning the girl's cheeks.

His dark eyes looked toward the gate of the dilapidated temple.

At this moment, Bai Qian probably only has one thing she wants to do.

----

The bloated giant rat gnawed at the bones in front of it, its gray-black fur stained red with blood, and bones lay scattered haphazardly beside it.

It gnawed very cleanly, leaving not a single piece of meat on the bones.

It chewed on the bone indifferently, contemplating its next move.

The head of the clan plans to lead the tribe away from here, supposedly because some kind of evil tide is coming.

It couldn't quite understand, after all, in Baifeng City, they were worshipped by humans and could eat whatever they wanted, including people. But if they moved out of here, they would definitely have to compete with the local monsters for territory.

Other monsters are not as easy to bully as humans, but since it was the leader's decision, it couldn't say anything. It could only eat more people to satisfy its desires before moving away.

It gnawed on the bone, its eerie green eyes glancing towards the temple. Why was there no movement at all? Or were those boys having too much fun? I heard it was a little girl this time, which makes sense, since human babies are indeed quite tender.

A sound like beating drums came from the temple, causing it to pause in its gnawing on the bone.

The next moment, the long-neglected temple gate collapsed with a crash, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A torrential downpour began from the inky sky, the raindrops falling softly and pressing down the dust that had just been stirred up.

The slender, black-haired girl slowly emerged from the temple, glistening raindrops falling onto her cheeks, wiping away the streak of blood.

The dark eyes, even more profound than the sky at that moment, were staring at Rat Three, causing Rat Three to tremble involuntarily.

It remembered the scene of being toyed with by a cat a long, long time ago, and it had never felt that fear again since.

But the next second, it suppressed that emotion.

The cat that toyed with him was later eaten piece by piece by him when he had the chance. Fear? What is there to be afraid of now?

More than fear, it was an anger that burst forth from within.

Even though he ate the cat, the thought of it still filled Rat Three with rage.

It looked at the girl standing at the temple gate, and seeing her icy expression, a surge of inexplicable anger welled up in its not-so-large head.

I've decided, I'm going to eat you up, bite by bite, just like I would that cat.

It thought that perhaps only in this way could it alleviate the fear and pain brought to it by the experience in its memory.

It crawled towards Bai Qian.

Raindrops fell between the two, and Rat Three had already arrived in front of Bai Qian, like a sharp arrow, or like a fierce tiger pouncing on Bai Qian.

The raindrops formed lines, and the gale tore a hole in the rain curtain.

A bolt of lightning streaked across the dark sky, illuminating the scene of the giant rat lying supine next to a broken poplar tree.

Volume 1: 3. Such Arrogance

Raindrops fell like threads, and flickering lightning cast reflections and light on the desolate mountain. It did not extinguish the eerie atmosphere next to the dilapidated temple; on the contrary, it accentuated the scene around the temple.

Bones, blood, ferocious beasts... and people slowly walking towards the beasts.

Bai Qian wasn't wearing a fancy dress. Raindrops kept falling down her hair and cheeks, soaking the simple dress adorned with various patches.

Bai Qian's pace was not fast; each step landed on the soil, which quickly turned into mud, slowing the girl's steps.

But for Rat Three, it was as if something from the past had reappeared in its sight.

At that time, I was just a nobody demon, only slightly larger than those rats. That gray and yellow cat slowly walked towards me.

So arrogant.

Despite having reason to be angry, Rat Three still felt an overwhelming sense of fear.

It's as if I haven't changed at all; I'm still that mouse that, upon encountering danger, didn't hesitate to abandon my companions and run away.

Even so, they were eventually caught up.

Have I not changed?

It got up from the ground, still feeling a little dizzy.

Why was I just kicked away?

Reason still tried to stop its thoughts from spiraling into madness.

However, the monster's frenzied instincts and past memories caused it to lose its most basic rationality.

It had just gotten up from the ground, its eerie green eyes fixed on Bai Qian as she walked towards it.

Its massive form burst through the rain, and thunder roared through the air.

Bai Qian seemed to be in a daze until the sound of thunder reached her ears, which brought her back to her senses. She raised an eyebrow slightly as she watched the rat three rushing towards her with lightning speed.

She thought it would just run away, after all, Bai Qian herself didn't expect that kick would send it flying.

Rainwater slowly seeped into her pupils along her long eyelashes. As the giant rat drew closer, Bai Qian lifted her foot.

The raindrops broke into arcs and, along with the gale, assaulted the girl's eyes.

The chilling stench of blood was something that even in this damp weather, it couldn't be stopped.

The tiny shoe slowly lifted up and then gently approached the giant rat's cheek.

Rat Three, still baring his sharp teeth and trying to rush in front of Bai Qian and tear the girl's body apart with his teeth, was kicked away.

There were no fancy moves; it was just a simple lift of the foot and a kick.

Another poplar tree was broken by Rat Three.

Bai Qian took a slight breath, and indeed felt a little tired.

Although the body has gained this inexplicable and somewhat terrifying power, the body itself is not particularly strong to begin with. Even with the ultimate power of the Cloud-Piercing Kick, its endurance and resilience are not actually much higher.

Of course, it was tiring, but at least... it was enough.

Rat Three shakily got up again. At this moment, it looked as if half of its head was missing, and turbid blood flowed continuously down the wound on its head.

It seemed to have gone mad, rampaging through the rain, breaking through the rain curtain, and charging towards Bai Qian once again.

Bai Qian's response was also simple; she simply lifted her foot indifferently and calmly.

She didn't know what move she was using; it was like a natural, instinctive reaction.

Mud splashed up, and the cloth shoe made contact with Rat Three's head again. This contact was different from the previous two.

The girl's small shoes were like a spear, easily piercing through the seemingly tough gray-black fur of the rat and penetrating its flesh.

A white liquid mixed with blackish-red liquid flowed across the muddy water.

Nausea.

Bai Qian withdrew her foot, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she looked at the white liquid on it.

She didn't care about blood, but this thing...

Is it brain matter?

Bai Qian wasn't quite sure, since she had never actually seen what brain matter looked like.

The giant rat in front of her was not dead. Although a large chunk of its head was missing and half of its head had been pierced by Bai Qian's kick, it still twitched a few times on the spot.

"They...will come looking for you," it said haltingly.

Bai Qian gazed at it quietly, her serene eyes like black holes, capturing and absorbing any light that approached.

"You want to take revenge on me?" she asked curiously.

Speaking of which, if he's the Third Master, then there must be a Second Master and an Eldest Master above him, right?

“They will…” Rat Three’s movements were still intermittent.

Bai Qian lost interest. If she didn't want to talk, she didn't have to. She hated it when people talked on their own.

I found a relatively clean piece of fur on Rat Three and was about to use it to wipe the stains on my shoes.

Thinking of something, I lifted my foot.

The remaining half of the head was crushed by Bai Qian.

[Slay the Rank E demon, the Gray-Faced Rat, and absorb twenty years of its lifespan.]

[The monster's remaining lifespan is currently twenty-three years.]

Bai Qian restrained herself somewhat, only letting the splattered white fluid and blood drip onto her shoes.

Then, slowly rub the shoes clean with the clean fur of the rat.

After wiping the shoes, Bai Qian no longer looked at Rat Three's corpse.

I don't care, and I don't mind.

Things that seem too trivial are hard to take seriously.

I tried adding more points to the Lianyun Leg skill, but failed.

[Your current martial arts skills have been developed to their limit. Please try learning other martial arts.]

The information provided is unclear. It's unclear whether learning other martial arts will allow you to further improve your Continuous Cloud Kick, or whether this particular martial art cannot be improved further.

Her shoes, which she had just wiped clean, stepped into the muddy water, and the mud splattered onto Bai Qian's clothes, causing her to pause slightly.
