Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"What's that sound?" River General Kui furrowed his eyebrows. His location was deep and save with so many soldiers protecting him around him. There shouldn't be any chance for the enemy to try breaking into his lines.

In fact, the soldiers around him were the elites that he had prepared for a long time. They were more than enough to contend against several people at once, so they served as the best bodyguard.

Bang!

Looking at the side, he noticed that his soldiers were making ruckuses. They were all the elites, so it was impossible for them to make noise just because of a small matter.

Was there another commander who had time to care for him?

But Great General Nan should be busy fighting against that River General Pan and didn't have time to care for him, right?

Tep!

A small figure suddenly stepped into the inner circle. The soldiers around her were motionless before their figure split into two and blood splattered to the ground, painting it with fiery red color.

Nan Hua raised her head, the silver mask on her face reflected the sunlight. She didn't stop there as she kicked the ground and rushed towards River General Kui in front of her. Her figure flickered as if she had disappeared and all they could see was nothing more than the afterimages left from her movement.

River General Kui's eyes widened in disbelief as he shouted, "COVER ME UP!"

Slash!

A figure appeared before River General Kui and blocked the attack, but Nan Hua switched her trajectory. The sword that was supposed to block the attack become useless as it slashed through the person in front of her.

Nan Hua had no time to care about it as she kicked the ground and reappeared behind River General Kui.

Stab!

Her sword only had time to stab before she felt several weapons were heading towards her. Gritting her teeth, Nan Hua forcefully ducked to the ground, rolling in the process. Seeing that many people had already appeared to protect River General Kui, she knew that she had lost her chance.

Nan Hua turned her body around and rushed towards the sea of soldiers once more.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

These elite soldiers become nothing more than a cabbage in front of Nan Hua. Forcing her concentration and body to the fullest, Nan Hua left hand flicked her needles towards these people which her sword failed to reach.

She had to escape.

"Catch him!" River General Kui roared before coughing violently.

*cough* *cough* *cough*

"River General Kui!"

"River General Kui!"

Shouts of panic filled the battlefield as they were all trying to pacify River General Kui. Nan Hua had managed to stab River General Kui, but she missed the vital point because he evaded at the last moment. It was unknown whether it was his reflex or his luck, but Nan Hua knew that River General Kui would not die from this.

Though, he might need to rest from the battle because she still managed to stab into his stomach.

It wouldn't be easy for him to live for the time being.

Swish! Slash!

Nan Hua kicked the ground and made her way through the gaps between the soldiers. Her body was screaming in pain from her forcing it to continue moving. At the same time, she felt as if all of the air had been sucked dry from her lung. It was painful.

She had to stop, but she couldn't stop.

Dzing!

An arrow passed by close to her, knocking one of her pursuer. Nan Hua's eyes lit up as she realized that she had entered Feng Ao Kuai's shooting range. In this densely packed sea of soldiers, the only person who dare to shoot arrow would be her cousin.

Swish!

Forcing her body to hold on, Nan Hua rushed towards the direction where Nan Luo and the others were waiting. Her eyes noticed their figure as she forced herself to reach their side.

"Cover for Nan!" Nan Luo shouted.

"Uooooooo!"

The soldiers had already noticed the ruckus right at River General Kui's direction. They knew that someone had managed to wound River General Kui right in his territory, breaking through his so called impregnatable defense.

This caused Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers to be so excited as if they had been injected with stimulants.

They were all twice as energetic as before.

On the other hand, the Wei Da Kingdom's soldiers were in disarray. Without River General Kui's order, many of them were confused about what they were supposed to do. They wanted to know whether their general was fine or not, but at the same time, they were busy fighting.

Thus, their movement turned disorderly and caused their formation to falter slightly. This allowed Fei Yang Kingdom's soldiers to move forward and hacked their way towards the soldiers.

*pant* *pant*

When Nan Hua reached Nan Luo, she stopped and panted on the spot. Forcing her body to move like that had taken the toll on her physical body and mind greatly. If only it was possible, Nan Hua didn't want to repeat that ever again.

Her small body really couldn't withstand the torture of having to push her speed beyond the limit.

"H… Nan, are you alright?" Nan Luo was genuinely worried.

Nan Hua nodded and took a deep breath. Her body was still aching, but she should be fine after some rest. She looked at Nan Luo. "River General Kui is injured and the headquarter is in disarray. For the next incense stick of time, focus your attack to the West and gain as much as possible from this chaos."

Nan Luo was stunned then he grinned. "Of course! Xiao Yan!"

"River General Kui is injured! Let's all push forward everyone!"

"UOOOOOOOOO!"

Their already excited state immediately doubled as the soldiers had their morale raised once more. Just the fact that General Kui was one of the River Generals already showed that he was very high ranking.

Now, he was injured?

It was time for their counterattack!

Thus, the soldiers were very excited.
