Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 557 Second Day – Middle Area (2)

　　"A kid?" Commander Xiong furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the person who was attacking him. This kid didn't even reach half of his height since he had such a big body. So small and yet, the weight of 'his' sword was more than what ordinary adults could do.

　　"You have quite the fast reaction," Nan Hua commented and sommersaulted to the back midair. She was thinking of catching him off guard by changing her timing suddenly. However, Commander Xiong manage to see through her trick.

　　To be able to become 2000 men commander, it seemed that Commander Xiong must have genuine qualification. He was unlike a certain commander who was relying on his connection to climb to higher position.

　　Commander Xiong narrowed his eyes and roared as he urged his horse to move towards Nan Hua. "Who the hell are you?!"

　　Swish!

　　The sword was evaded effortless as Nan Hua jumped to the side. Her eyes were watching Commander Xiong without any ripples within her eyes in the slightest bit. It was as if she was merely watching a show and not getting involved within.

　　Tep.

　　Her feet lightly stepped on the ground and pushed her small body forward. The sword in her hand moved faster as she launched another attack towards Commander Xiong.

　　Clang! Slash!

　　*neigh*

　　Half of the attack reached the horse, causing it to stand on its hind legs.

　　Nan Hua twisted her body as she landed. She could see Commander Xiong's soldiers were approaching her with their spear ready, trying to stab her to death.

　　Swish! Clack! Clack! Thud!

　　With a swift movement, the spears were cut into two with their sharp point all dropped to the ground. It would be hard to attack these people from Nan Hua's current position, so she simply picked those broken spear front and threw it to her back.

　　Jleb! Jleb! Clang!

　　*neigh* *neigh* *neigh*

　　The horse went on rampaging. With the sudden stab wound on their bodies, the horse couldn't stay calm and raise their legs or shook their body rapidly. Those on top of them were either thrown far away or around them.

　　And those who fell near the rampaging horse suffered another fate…

　　"AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

　　Which was getting trampled to death.

　　Commander Xiong's eyes turned red when he saw this scene. He had only managed to calm his horse, but he had lost several of his trusted men under this one person. That precise skill and calmness that was far beyond 'his' small age was something he couldn't comprehend.

　　How come a monster like this appeared within Fei Yang Kingdom?

　　Was that place had such a good Feng Shui that everyone talented were gathered in Fei Yang Kingdom?

　　How unfair.

　　"Damn you! I'll kill you!"

　　Drap! Swish! Clang!

　　Commander Xiong's attack was blocked by Nan Hua. Her sword perfectly blocked the attack as Nan Hua moved once more. It would be much easier for her to use covert attack in this kind of place, but she wanted to test her skill.

　　Whether the skill she had honed for nearly five years were actually good enough for her to fight based on their rules.

　　Swish! Slash!

　　With a twist of her body, Nan Hua's sword cut through the flesh of the horse before she jumped back once more.

　　*neigh*

　　"STOP HIM!" Commander Xiong yelled and his soldiers moved once more.

　　Nan Hua looked around her and swiftly moved. It seemed that the arrangement to have one own's soldier around the circle when the commanders duel was not without a reason. Without those soldiers holding the other soldiers, it wouldn't be a duel, but rather a one vs many battle.

　　But it didn't matter.

　　Nan Hua still had plenty of time to play around with this commander and tested many kinds of moves that she could only change the trajectory in the last moment during practice.

　　Swish! Swish! Swish!

　　…

　　Long Qian Xing's Side

　　Before the battle begun, General Long asked Long Qian Xing to meet him. It was still early in the morning and Long Qian Xing walked leisurely, looking like he was just having a walk rather than doing preparation for the next battle.

　　"Qian Xing."

　　Hearing his father's voice, Long Qian Xing raised his head. He could see his father was looking at him with a stern face. He silently wondered whether he did something that could catch his father's attention recently. Aside from provoking Chi Song Lian a bit, he didn't think that he did anything worthy of note.

　　"Father," Long Qian Xing greeted back.

　　General Long nodded and looked at his son. He furrowed his eyebrows and decided to just be blunt. "Did you say anything to Chi Song Lian?"

　　"I only tell him that the next time I see him, I'll be having the same rank as him." Long Qian Xing smiled.

　　General Long nodded.

　　Chi Song Lian was an ambitious person. And Long Qian Xing's meteoric rise in military ranking had been an eyesore in many people's eyes, including him. It was as if he was told that someone who was far younger than him was actually much more capable than him.

　　How could he bear with that statement?

　　With Long Qian Xing's provoking words, Chi Song Lian's competitiveness was activated to the maximum. It was as if no matter what was said or done, he would be trying his best to make sure that Long Qian Xing would not succeed.

　　He wanted to rise in ranking first.

　　That way, Long Qian Xing wouldn't be able to chase after him.

　　But his way of doing things were too reckless. Trying to compete against a general using everything he got and even wounded himself… it was a bit too stupid.

　　"You did good." General Long looked at Long Qian Xing and nodded.

　　Long Qian Xing's lips twitched when he heard what his father's said. Was this something a general should say when one of the commanders was wounded so badly and thus unable to participate in the battle?
