Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

How come he was here?

"How did you…?"

"Are you surprised?" The young man asked with a grin.

Commander Hai's face flushed in anger. He took his sword and stood before the young man. "Do you really think that your resistance will serve anything just because you manage to reach here?"

"Hey, hey, shouldn't you praise me a bit?" The young man snorted. "Do you really think it's easy for me to sneak here?"

"Damn you!"

No longer in the mood to talk, Commander Hai unsheathed his sword and began to attack the young man in front of him.

Clang!

…

*Not long ago*

"How are we supposed to get to the wall?" Nan Luo asked with troubled expression. When the soldiers were called, they only managed to visit four small barracks. With the number of the soldiers there, it was less than half of what the rest of the soldiers that followed Commander Hai.

"Sneak in." Feng Ao Kuai didn't sound too worried. "You go with Xiao Yan to the top of the wall and I'll stay behind."

"Why are you staying behind?"

"I need to open that gate."

Feng Ao Kuai pointed to the gate that was already stuffed with large rocks. It was the common method for them to prevent anyone from entering the city. If the gate was somehow broken, they wouldn't be able to enter because there were large rocks over there.

Nan Luo blinked his eyes. "Is it possible?"

"Yes." Feng Ao Kuai looked at the commander behind him. "I'll need your and your soldiers help to make sure that the other soldiers wouldn't be able to stop us. Can you do this?"

The commander nodded. After being defeated by Feng Ao Kuai, he had decided to follow whatever words these two said. Besides, he also knew that they had to somehow defeat that monster named Commander Hai.

Feng Ao Kuai turned to look at Nan Luo. "Your skill is better than me. Stall Commander Hai as long as possible."

Nan Luo's body was frozen when he heard that instruction. It was not like he was scared or anything, but it was because Commander Hai was on a different level compared to many other commanders he had faced all his life. Commander Hai was already leading on the battlefield for so many years and led thousands of soldiers.

He forgot the actual rank of that commander…

*cough*

It was above anyone he could think of.

"How strong is he?"

"He should be the same as Hou Liang." Feng Ao Kuai gave his estimation because he was not sure.

At this moment, Nan Luo's face darkened. He still could defeat Hou Liang because Hou Liang held back when fighting against him. But if it was a real battle against Hou Liang, Nan Luo would be defeated ever so miserly.

He was not a match against that right hand of his grandfather.

"Are you sure?"

"More or less."

"Alright." Nan Luo stretched his hand. "Make sure you open that damn gate as fast as possible. I'll stall that Commander with Xiao Yan."

"Good." Feng Ao Kuai knew that when Nan Luo no longer filtered his mouth, it meant that Nan Luo was very focused. After all, thinking about what they wanted to say required them to think and Nan Luo was not exactly a formal person. He was more casual and easy going.

That way, when Nan Luo was completely focused on something, it could be to the extent that he forgot how to filter his mouth. His words would sound a bit coarse, but it was the best condition Feng Ao Kuai could ask his cousin.

"Let's go."

With that, Feng Ao Kuai led the commander and the soldiers to position themselves on the stairs and near the gate.

Right now, both Feng Ao Kuai and Si Kang had already dressed themselves as soldier. However, Feng Ao Kuai's body stature was a bit small for adult. This made him looked a bit strange.

"If you're a bit older, you might be able to disguise better."

"This is more than enough." Feng Ao Kuai didn't feel the need to grow so quickly. He did want to enter the frontline faster, but it was unnecessary for him to force his body to grow so fast in accordance to his wish.

The commander nodded. He looked at Feng Ao Kuai with a complicated expression. "Is it fine for Second Young Master Feng to go up against the Commander?"

"It's fine." Feng Ao Kuai's lips curled up to form a smile. Over the past three years, he had seen Nan Luo's rapid growth. It was not an exaggeration to say that unless one was a monster, they wouldn't be able to defeat Nan Luo.

Even he had long been left in the dust by Nan Luo. At first, he still could use his tricks to deal with Nan Luo, but now, he couldn't defeat that cousin of his in terms of martial arts anymore.

The only person who could defeat Nan Luo was Nan Hua.

"Commander Hai is not an ordinary person." Commander Shui Tao looked at Feng Ao Kuai worriedly.

Feng Ao Kuai nodded. "He'll be able to keep his life at the very least."

"Oh…"

They all waited there patiently.

Si Kang was the one in charge of monitoring the enemy and also made sure that everyone's attention was outside and not inside. If Commander Hai were to deploy more soldiers, they would lose without hesitation.

The moment Nan Luo made his move, they all also began to move.

"Hurry! Move the rocks out!"

"Yes!"

Feng Ao Kuai would not help with moving the rocks. He stood on the stairs above with his bow and arrow ready. Si Kang was staying beside him, acting as his bodyguard.

Clang! Clang!

"Deal with those who got close to me." Feng Ao Kuai docked an arrow to his bow.

"Yes."

Dzing!

Watching the soldiers rushing over to stop them, Feng Ao Kuai's eyes remained focused as he targeted them one by one.
