Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"General Long?"

"March to the West. Since there's already such a good chance, who wouldn't want to take it?" General Long smirked. Wei Da Kingdom has always been an eyesore in his opinion. If he could chip away their power little by little through this battle, why not?

"YES!"

General Long silently made a mental note to meet with those two children. He knew that Nan Luo was Great General Nan's grandson, but he didn't know who Nan was. Whoever they were, there shouldn't be anything wrong with meeting those two.

…

East Area

The battle that was supposed to be in stalemate broke into chaos.

"Great General Shangguan!"

As the cries pierced through the air, Long Qian Xing felt his ear buzzed. He looked in the direction where Great General Shangguan fought Heavenly General Zhang and felt his heart sunk. They were quite a distance away from him and Long Qian Xing had no confidence that he could defeat Heavenly General Zhang.

But does it matter?

"Follow me!" Long Qian Xing shouted.

"Yes!"

The soldiers were following Long Qian Xing as they rushed over in the direction where Heavenly General Zhang was located. Both Heavenly General Zhang and Great General Shangguan were known to have monstrous strength that allowed them to be called monsters by others.

Right now, Long Qian Xing was really not in the mood to fight against them if only it was possible.

Shangguan Xiao was already barely maintaining the balance in this East Area by using the resources of other commanders. There was really no way he could possibly be able to withstand the additional of Heavenly General Zhang barged in.

Though, him leaving his position meant that Shangguan Xiao had to find someone to fill in to fight against General Kang.

"Heavenly General Zhang, there's someone rushing in."

"Hmph! You're overestimating yourself!" Heavenly General Zhang raised his glaive and swung it towards Long Qian Xing.

Clang!

The sword met the glaive, producing crisp sound.

Long Qian Xing could feel his horse was trembling slightly from the weight of the attack, but he held on. He looked at the Heavenly General in front of him as the corner of his lips curled up to form a smile.

When was the last time he fought against someone who had absolute power against him?

Bang!

Being pushed to the back, Long Qian Xing patted his horse's neck, trying to calm it down. He knew that the horse was also scared, but this was the fight where he had to win or Fei Yang Kingdom would lose and there was no meaning in what he had been pursuing all this time.

He couldn't lose.

And he wouldn't lose!

Kicking the horse, Long Qian Xing controlled it to head straight towards Heavenly General Zhang.

"Outrageous!" Heavenly General Zhang snorted and waved his glaive once more towards Long Qian Xing.

Clang!

Two weapons met once more, pushing Long Qian Xing to the back. He could feel that his body was already on the verge of breaking just from receiving full attack from Heavenly General Zhang.

This was the power of a general who had spent his entire life in the battlefield and made his name through his overpowering strength. It was not something Long Qian Xing would be able to contend so easily.

Looking at Heavenly General Zhang, Long Qian Xing's lips curled up to form a smile. He ignored the trail of blood trickling at the corner of his lips. The sight of him standing up again caused Heavenly General Zhang to feel utter humiliation.

"You're really worthy to be called that madman's child."

Heavenly General Zhang's body trembled in anger. He knew very well that General Long was a very troublesome opponent, but it turned out that his son was an equally troublesome person.

Fei Yang Kingdom's men were all madmen.

Drap! Drap!

Ordering his horse to charge in, Heavenly General Zhang brandished his glaive once more and the crisp sound of meeting metal along with the tear of flesh entered his ear.

Clang!

Long Qian Xing gripped the glaive with his left hand while his sword partially blocked it. Part of the glaive wounded his side. He swung his sword in Heavenly General Zhang's direction while pulling that glaive.

It tore open his wound, but not even any trace of pain could be seen from Long Qian Xing's face.

"You…"

*cough*

Instead of the sword, an unknown powder was thrown in Heavenly General Zhang's face. Almost instantly, he felt his body turned stiff and powerless. This caused him to widen his eyes in disbelief.

It was then he recalled that Long Qian Xing fought against Commander Lin.

Did he take the poison that Lin Lu made and used it against him?

"You, bas…"

Swish!

A pull of the glaive pushed the two of them to get closer to the river nearby. Long Qian Xing had long realized that they were near the river. Now that it had come to this, he pulled Heavenly General Zhang towards the river.

Splash!

"HEAVENLY GENERAL ZHANG!"

"YOUNG COMMANDER LONG!"

Two different types of shout filled the air. Long Xu's heart tightened but he didn't dare to get into the river carelessly.

Long Qian Xing's head popped out of the river. He looked in the direction of his men then realized that Heavenly General Zhang didn't even have any intention to let him off even though they were being swept in the river.

It seemed that he had thoroughly anger this old general.

"Hold the line!" Long Qian Xing shouted then he kicked Heavenly General Zhang's hand that was approaching in. The water halted their movement, but it was more than enough for him to do some basic maneuver.

Long Qian Xing was looking at Heavenly General Zhang, silently wondering just what kind of poison that Lin Lu had with her. He had thrown everything to Heavenly General Zhang, including the paralysis poison that Nan Hua had given to him.

He shouldn't be able to move anytime soon.
