Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

But it was this very same smile that caused chills to run down their backs.

Wu San Di gritted his teeth. "ATTACK HIM TOGETHER!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Long Xu watched as his commander was busy fighting with three other commanders at the same time and felt his scalp was numb. Should he try to stop him or help him? But from the way Long Qian Xing was still smiling, he felt that the unlucky ones would be either one of those three.

Their young commander was the type that would smile whenever he was confident, angry, happy, excited, or even offended….

In short, Long Qian Xing would be smiling most of the time. It made everyone around him confused about his real feeling unless they were close to him and could notice the minor differences of his expression.

"Long Xu."

"Lou?"

"Leave Young Commander Long be. It's been so long since someone dared to gang up on him." Lou had been following Long Qian Xing for a long time. Normally, he would be hiding in the shadow. But this time, he was tasked to stay close to Long Qian Xing and assisted his master on the battlefield.

Naturally, it meant that he had to do so.

He knew that Long Qian Xing was enjoying himself. His father didn't allow him to advance through rank too fast, so Long Qian Xing could only continue to challenge stronger people in order to get merit. By now, these so called promising young commanders were not his match at all.

Even if they gang up on him.

"Alright."

Long Xu nodded and focused on clearing the area.

Clang! Clang!

Slash!

Time passed swiftly and the sun was already leaning to the west.

In Nan Luo's area. The young boy was already panting at this time. This was the first time he continued to have high intensity battle almost all the time from morning to evening where his life was truly hanging on the line. When he was with his grandfather, he was never given any opponent at this scale.

*pant* *pant*

"Tired, Boy?" The commander in front of Nan Luo asked with a jeer.

Nan Luo snorted. "As if! I'll make sure to kill you!"

"Big mouth!"

Swish! Clang!

Relying on his smaller body, Nan Luo attacked from below. There were some moves that was more effective depending on their body size and their opponent's body size. Since Nan Luo was shorter and smaller, he naturally targeted the commander's lower body.

"Your're such a ruthless boy."

"You talk too much!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Around them, Nan Luo's soldiers were switching with their friend to keep the formation. From time to time, they would glance at two directions. One was naturally Nan Luo's direction because he was still busy dueling that commander. The other was… Nan Hua's direction.

Thud! Thud!

Several men had fallen to the ground once more. Nan Hua was standing calmly on her place with her bloodstained sword in her right hand. The pile of corpse around her was already more than enough to form several layer of carpet, yet Nan Hua was still killing anyone who dared to get close.

She didn't spare any soldier.

It was as if she was determined to make sure that no one would be able to disturb Nan Luo when the young boy was busy dueling with the commander.

Xiao Yan was calmer. He had seen Nan Hua's skill in the past and knew that these soldiers were nothing in front of Nan Hua. In fact, they could only serve as cannon fodder in Nan Hua's hand.

"Young… Nan, is it fine for you to just stay here?" Xiao Yan asked when Nan Hua walked in his direction.

Nan Hua looked up. Xiao Yan was more than a head taller than her, so she had to look up if she wanted to see his face directly. "This is just the first day."

This is just the first day?

Xiao Yan was stunned before he realized that Nan Hua had no intention of attracting attention on her on the very first day. However, looking at the pile of corpses… he was sure that Nan Hua had killed at least a few hundreds of soldiers or even more than a thousand soldiers after an entire day of fighting.

That loss.... was quite something. Even in a large army, a loss of one thousand people because of one person was definitely a huge matter.

It was because of this that everyone always tried to make sure that they matched someone strong to go against someone who was equally strong. That way, there wouldn't be any unnecessary loss because of a certain strong person.

"Uoooooooooo!"

Suddenly, there were loud cheer from one direction. Nan Hua glanced at that direction and guessed that it must be either Chi Song Lian or Long Qian Xing. She forgot which one of them got their achievement first on this joint war.

"What is it?"

"Someone managed to kill someone important?"

Xiao Yan furrowed his eyebrows and waved his hand. "Focus! Even if there's a momentary victory, we're still far from the end of the battle! Don't lose your concentration."

"YES!"

Nan Hua glanced at Xiao Yan. It seemed that Nan Luo had other reason as to why he chose to allow Xiao Yan be the adjutant aside from her. He was pretty good at controlling the situation no matter what happened.

That was a good quality to have.

…

Slash! Thud!

Long Qian Xing's sword cleanly cut through Young Commander Gao's neck. It was so fast that the others didn't manage to react.

After fighting and exchanging several blows, Long Qian Xing finally made his move.

"YOU DARE?!" Wu San Di was so shocked that he rushed over, his sword tried to wound Long Qian Xing.

Swish!

Evading to the side, Long Qian Xing merely looked at the two brothers in front of him calmly. Blood dripped from his blade as he rested it on his side. "Now, who's next?"
