Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 754: Battle Against Great General Nan (2)

The moment Old Master Nan changed his trajectory and counterattacked, Nan Hua raised her sword and parried it. However, a part of the blade brushed against her shoulder, cutting the fabric slightly.     

A little more and it would have cleanly cut her.     

However, Nan Hua's eyes didn't show any trace of fear or surprise. Close contact with death had become so common for her that she would not feel fear even if she was only a moment away from death.     

Her leg stepped to the side as her sword that parried the glaive blocked it from reaching towards her. She then turned around and kicked the glaive before retreating to the back.     

"You're sharp." Old Master Nan laughed faintly.     

If Nan Hua had tried to forcefully move forward just now, he would have kicked her. And with the difference of their built, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Nan Hua would be kicked to the other end of the field.     

He was almost twice as tall as Nan Hua and weighed more than twice of her.     

These two differences alone were more than enough for him to bully her since he was also someone who had countless experiences on the battlefield.     

Nan Hua didn't answer.     

She instinctively felt it.     

That if she had stepped forward, it would only mean her death. And even though the chance seemed to exist, she chose to retreat and caught her breath again. Her eyes were completely focused on Old Master Nan.     

She knew that she was not his match.     

But even if she was not Old Master Nan's match, she couldn't retreat.     

There was no such word in her dictionary.     

The training told her that if she couldn't do her mission, she would die. Because of that, no matter how insane the mission was, no matter how large the difference in the ability and power between her and her enemy, she could not retreat.     

The end result would be the same.     

Swish!     

Her small body launched forward once more.     

Clang! Clang! Clang!     

Trading blows with her grandfather, Nan Hua's nimble body tried to attack from every direction. Left, right, center, below, every possible direction was tried.     

Her hand felt numb from the block, but Nan Hua's expression never changed. There was not even any change in her control of her power and strength. It seemed as if she was still in her top condition.     

Ignoring all of her pain.     

Ignoring all of her tiredness.     

Ignoring all of her feelings.     

All she knew was that she had to fight again and again until her very last breath.         

The two of them continuously clashed against each other, trading countless blows that couldn't be seen. Occasionally, Nan Hua would retreat back as she had to parry her grandfather's attack.     

Bang!     

In the last moment, Nan Hua decided to take the risk and stepped forward. Seeing her grandfather's leg kicking towards her, her body quickly sommersaulted and received the kick with her legs.     

Her body flew in the air before it landed several meters away.     

*pant* *pant*     

There were countless small blade marks around her body but not a single one of them were fatal. Some of them were bleeding while the rest of them only brushed her clothes, tearing them, making them worse to wear.     

Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter and lowered his glaive. "It's enough."     

In contrast to Nan Hua's miserable state, Old Master Nan didn't even have any crease on his clothes. Even though he was concentrating to the fullest in order to be able to follow Nan Hua's speed, his strength still far surpassed the young girl.     

Nan Hua nodded and cupped her fist, standing straight on her place.     

"Hou Lin, time."     

"It's half an incense stick of time, Old Master."     

"Not bad." Old Master Nan nodded. When he tried this against that brat Nan Luo, he couldn't even last a quarter of incense stick of time. And that brat fought so miserably at the last moment that he was nearly truly crippled.     

As for Feng Ao Kuai… it was even worse. Fighting against someone like Old Master Nan, all kind of tricks were useless. In close combat, Feng Ao Kuai would be killed almost instantly.     

Feng Ao Si lasted the longest because of his innate strength and the fact that he was a strength maniac. But when facing against Old Master Nan's more complicated moves, he couldn't respond well aside from forcefully block it.     

In the end, he also nearly caused himself to be crippled.     

"Treat your wound, Hua'er."     

"Yes, Grandfather."     

Nan Hua sheathed her sword and then walked towards her own quarter. Even though her body felt like it had been completely crushed, there was no trace of it at all. She still walked as usual and her expression was still as expressionless as ever.     

If not for Old Master Nan who knew his granddaughter very well, others would think that she was fine even after trading so many blows with him.     

Swish!     

"Old Master, you need to rest. The doctor didn't allow you to stand for a long time."     

"I'm only standing and not moving around." Old Master Nan was speechless. However, he still obeyed as he walked to the nearby chair. He sighed and looked at Nan Hua's departing back.     

Sometimes, he felt that he was not looking at a girl who has only been bullied in Nan Shu Cheng Family Residence.     

But rather… a girl who had gone through countless life and death battle and honed in extreme and miserable situation.     

"Would Nan Shu Cheng put his daughter in life and death's situation?" Old Master Nan asked abruptly.         

Hou Lin was stunned. However, he knew very well that the possibility was rather small. "Old Master, if Master Nan dared to do that, he would have no face anymore."     

Even if he wanted to bully his daughter, he would definitely do it covertly.     

There was no way he would truly put her in life threatening danger.
