Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

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?" Nan Luo 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!

Nan Luo reacted in time and blocked the attack, his eyes were cold. He could sense the power behind this one attack was more than enough to utterly destroy his entire defense. It was to the point that it was impossible for Nan Luo to do anything to even countering the attack.

'He's not a monster without reason, huh?'

Swish!

For the next attack, Nan Luo evaded to the side, narrowly avoiding the large sword that was heading to him.

Even though Commander Hai was using such a big sword with a big body, it was clear that his speed didn't suffer in the slightest bit. He was still the same powerful commander as he used to be.

Clang!

"Ghhh."

"Young Master, hold on!" Xiao Yan yelled. He fought against the other soldiers around Nan Luo, helping him to make sure that there was no one to disturb the two of them. "Stop those people!"

"Yes!" the commander who followed them rushed over to reach the group of soldiers that was behind Commander Hai.

*cough*

Nan Luo felt stifled in his chest. After blocking the attack from Commander Hai twice, he could sense that his inside was in turmoil. It was clear that his current strength was actually not enough for him to defeat the monster in front of him.

His eyes turned red.

'Two attack again?'

The word two had been his nightmare. At the time when he could only withstand two attack, he was nothing more than a burden to his cousin and sister. There was no way he wanted to repeat that time anymore.

Even though the opponent was much stronger than him, Nan Luo will not hesitate to rush up and attack once more.

Clang!

The two blades of metal met each other, producing crisp sound. Commander Hai exerted more strength, pushing Nan Luo to the edge of the wall. He looked at the young man in front of him with disbelief.

With his strength, how could it be that this man didn't break down after a few attacks? Also, what kind of sword did he used to be able to withstand the severe attack from him like this?

"Three…" Nan Luo muttered. His hand was trembling. He noticed that Commander Hai was attacking him, so he ducked to the side, rolling on the ground.

Dirt and dust had long stuck in his body, so Nan Luo didn't even care about it. His hand trembled due to the pressure, but his grip on his sword remained firm. There was clear determination within his eyes as he was looking in Commander Hai's direction. It was apparent that he didn't want to give up.

Even if it forced him to exert his body, he continued to step forward.

"Get over here!" Commander Hai yelled loudly, swinging his large swords towards Nan Luo once more.

Clang! Bang!

"Young Master!" Xiao Yan was worried.

Nan Luo crashed onto the nearby wall. His hand was trembling so badly and his body swayed slightly. The wall was not of equal height since there were spots where the archers would shoot their arrows. At this place, the wall was a bit shorter.

It was exactly the one behind Nan Luo right now.

Clang! Clang!

Xiao Yan saw that Commander Hai was directing his attack towards Nan Luo once more. This time, he didn't hesitate and rushed over with his sword in his hand, blocking the attack from Commander Hai.

Clang!

"Gah!"

Being pushed like that, Xiao Yan stumbled to the back and his body was thrown to the wall. Because he was taller than Nan Luo and didn't stand on the ground properly, he was positioned above Nan Luo. With his legs barely touched the edge of the wall, Xiao Yan could feel the wind below him.

His expression turned cold.

'Am I going to die?'

"Xiao Yan!"

Nan Luo, who was planning on blocking and attacking, quickly stretched his left hand and grabbed Xiao Yan's legs. He could see that Commander Hai didn't have any plan on letting him go, so he directly jumped off the wall.

"Are you throwing your life for a mere servant?" Commander Hai was speechless when he saw this. Who would have thought that Nan Luo would be jumping off the wall just because his servant was thrown out? At this height, it was determined that he would die because of the height.

Commander Hai walked to the wall and peered outside. His eyes narrowed when he saw the two people hanging on the wall.

"It seems I have underestimated you, Brat."

Jleb!

Nan Luo used his right hand to stab his sword to the wall, allowing him to barely hang in the middle of the wall. He felt that his hand was about to snap from withstanding the weight of him and Xiao Yan.

"Young Master, let me go."

"Are you crazy?" Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. There was no way he was going to let his servant died so easily.

Xiao Yan grabbed the arrow that was planted firmly not far from him. "There are arrows here. We can't stay here, Young Master."

"Got it."

It was only after Xiao Yan had grabbed the arrow did Nan Luo released his grip. He looked above and his expression was grim when he saw Commander Hai taking the large spear. He was aiming towards them.

Xiao Yan also saw it and his expression turned grave. Commander Hai was one of the few generals who were known for his throwing skill.

"Young Master, dodge!"

Dodge?

Where?

Nan Luo's face was ashen.

"DIE!" Commander Hai yelled loudly.

Jleb!
