As she slowly raised her sword, there seemed to be a light behind her, and she didn't know if it was the light of the setting sun or the holy light that bloomed from her.

But at that moment, the loyal soldiers around the captain all changed their faces, and their eyes showed a bitter fear.

They felt that they were not facing an ordinary swordsman, but a god high above.

When she rushed up, they didn't even have the courage to raise the ringhead knife in their hands.

And the captain, he lifted the halberd in his hand and stabbed forward, but this stab was in vain, Bai Zhou just staggered his body lightly, and took the blow, and the next moment, she rushed in front of him, and the golden sword in her hand stabbed into her chest.

Perhaps she used too much force in this blow, and because of inertia, she rushed out of the city wall with him and fell into the moat below.

Crash.

As the sound of breaking water sounded, the boat sank to the bottom of the river, and the captain had turned into a corpse, floating beside her.

But beside her, there was more than one corpse.

Under the moat, there were corpses.

There were no defenders in the town, and the Later Tang army rushed into the town with little damage, and before that, they would line up at the gate of the town, waiting for the small traders to enter the town and the peasants from the nearby villages to be slaughtered.

Their bodies were thrown into the moat, which was dyed scarlet.

Bai Zhou sat at the bottom of the river, looking up at the corpses floating slowly overhead, men, women and children, tall and short, fat and thin, rich and poor, all just helpless souls sunk in the river.

The last rays of the setting sun refracted from the water, and the body of a young woman floated in front of her, she was very beautiful, but she was covered with all kinds of bruises and purple scars, and there was a large bloody hole in her belly.

The light of the setting sun hit her face, a face full of horror and pain, piercing deep into Bai Zhou's heart.

At that moment, Bai Zhou felt that the bloody and murderous supernatural events he had encountered before were nothing compared to the scene in front of him.

Those fierce and ruthless demons and monsters are nothing compared to people.

In this world, the most terrible thing is still people.

She closed her eyes.

At that moment, she felt something shattered inside her.

It was a level barrier, and she had upgraded at this time.

She has risen to the middle stage of the Fusion Realm!

She didn't know why she had been upgraded, and it was so smooth and without any obstacles, was it because at that moment just now, she knew some kind of sincere truth, so her thoughts were clear?

She sat at the bottom of the river, surrounded by countless corpses to stabilize her cultivation, originally stable cultivation would have spiritual energy fluctuations, such fluctuations were enough to stir up thousands of currents in the river, producing a gorgeous spectacle.

But the strange thing is that this time there was not the slightest movement, and it was as quiet as if in the endless darkness of the void.

When she stabilized her cultivation, the light refracted on the water surface lit up again, it was a night of experience, and it was dawn.

But when she opened her eyes, she saw an unbelievable scene.

She saw that the river was clean and there was not a single body.

Of course, there are still some, but it is just a rotten kitten, and there is no dog, because the dog is also a delicacy on people's tables in this era, and even if it dies of illness, it is reluctant to throw it into the river and let it rot on its own.

What happened?

She surfaced with questions, and as soon as the sky cleared, a group of peasants had formed a long line at the walls of the town.

Some carry burdens, some carry baskets, some carry bamboo baskets in their hands, and hold a child in their arms.

They were bustling, talking, laughing, and coming to this remote town to catch the market.

This is the only small town within a radius of 100 miles, and you can only go to the county seat farther away, and many ordinary people in that era have never been to the county seat in their lives.

Bai Zhou was in a trance, she felt that she had fallen into a dream, the scene of the slaughter of the city yesterday seemed to be just the deepest and farthest terrifying nightmare.

Suddenly, from afar came a woman with a smile on her face, sitting on an ox-cart with a basket of flowers in her arms, dressed differently from the others, muslin, and wearing a pair of silver earrings on her ears.

The people of the Tang Dynasty originally did not wear earrings, they thought that the body should not be damaged by their parents, and piercing ears was a bad habit of barbarians, but now the Tang Dynasty has long been extinct, and in another thirty or forty years, the Song Dynasty will be established, and people have slowly begun to popularize ear piercing.

This girl is very beautiful, at first glance she is the little daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, she may have just returned to her mother's house to see Ayea Niang, and she took an ox cart back to her mother-in-law's house in the city, her basket was full of eggs, and there was an old hen with her feet tied up, which showed that her mother loved her very much.

Her face was beaming with happiness.

But Bai Zhou only felt cold.

Because she had only seen her underwater last night.
