Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



Bang!

Reaching a small clearing, Long Qian Xing saw the flag that belonged to General Jue was raised. At the same time, the general himself was holding onto one of his shoulder.

He arched his eyebrows as his eyes flashed with killing intent. "General Jue!"

If General Jue is alive, does it mean that Nan Luo and Nan Hua…?

Long Qian Xing suppressed the terrifying anger in his heart, but it still didn't change the fact that his face was as black as the bottom of the pot. The soldiers around them could clearly sense that their general was angry.

Not just angry but furious.

They didn't understand the reason, but they felt that they shouldn't talk right now.

General Jue turned his head and saw General Xing. His face turned as black as the bottom pot.

From all the people whom he could meet, to think that Long Qian Xing had arrived here.

"You b*stard!" General Jue yelled in anger when he saw the annoying Long Qian Xing. After meeting the two annoying brats, he now met with another powerful younger generation from Fei Yang Kingdom.

General Jue's emotion was being pushed to the top once again, but it was forced down as he didn't want to be controlled by his emotions.

Long Qian Xing's eyes were terrifyingly dark. He wanted to trust Nan Hua and believed that she should have won the battle or retreated when the situation was unfavorable to her. Based on what he knew about Nan Hua, she should have a lot of lifesaving means.

But what if…?

This if was a very dangerous conjecture, one that Long Qian Xing didn't wish to think at all in his entire life.

He had lost Nan Hua once.

Even if it was nothing more than a fake death that was arranged in advance, Long Qian Xing could still feel the terrifying emotions that was about to break out in his heart when he thought about what would happen to Nan Hua.

And at this moment, he clearly realized that he was not acting properly as a general. He couldn't help but think about Nan Hua's safety.

"Where are the others who fought against you before? You're so weak that you let them off?" Long Qian Xing sneered, masking the fear that was sprouting in his heart.

General Jue's face darkened when he thought of Nan Luo and Nan Hua. It was even more so when he thought of Nan Luo's adjutant that was very powerful and provoked him at the very last moment.

"You Fei Yang Kingdom soldiers only know how to run away." General Jue sneered, trying his best to mask his anger.

It was already noon and in his current situation, he knew that it would be best if he didn't fight against Long Qian Xing. However, he still couldn't hold back his temper and wanted to scold this young man as much as possible.

Run away?

The heart that rose to the throat was slowly being put down again.

Long Qian Xing's emotion calmed down slightly and the soldiers behind him clearly noticed that their general had somehow calmed down again. They were perplexed as they didn't understand why this general suddenly got emotional and then calmed down again.

After all, no one would connect General Xing with an unknown unremarkable adjutant.

"It just shows that you're very weak, General Jue," Long Qian Xing said with a sneer.

Weak?

General Jue truly wanted to roll his sleeve and yelled at Long Qian Xing, telling the other party to have duel with him.

But feeling the weakness in his body that hadn't completely subsided, General Jue resisted this impulse to the best of his ability.

He still didn't want to die yet and fighting such an unfavorable battle was clearly not in his agenda.

"It's better than a certain late general…" General Jue was about to retort as usual but because he managed to calm down, his brain was finally working in another direction.

Wait.

Why did Long Qian Xing come here late?

He had fought many rounds against Adjutant Nan and with the fact that they had caused a lot of commotion, there was no way General Xing would only arrive by now. The only possibility was if Long Qian Xing was busy with something else thus delaying his arrival.

Busy with something?

Aside from dealing with his own headquarters, what could possibly hinder Long Qian Xing so much?

The moment the thought emerged, General Jue was completely overwhelmed with anger.

"General XING!" General Jue yelled and raised his axe. "I'LL KILL YOU!"

BANG! Clang! Clang! Clang!

While Long Qian Xing didn't know how General Jue knew so fast, he didn't care and only raised his weapon and snorted. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Thus, the battle continued.

…

<Long Xu's side>

"We're about to reach the headquarters, you can treat your injuries there," Long Xu said as he arranged the soldiers behind them to move faster.

If General Jue were persistent and chased after them, their ending might not be so good.

Thankfully, Nan Hua wounded General Jue and prevented that powerful general from chasing after them. Long Xu himself didn't have the confidence to escape unscathed from General Jue if he had to fight personally.

"Thank you, Commander Long Xu." Nan Luo cupped his fist.

"It's nothing." Long Xu smiled. "The plan is to help whoever is fighting against General Jue. If anything, I'm surprised by your capabilities, Young Commander Nan."

My capabilities?

Nan Luo felt a bit embarrassed when Long Xu said this. The one who fought against General Jue for a long time was not him but his twin sister.

He was not so shameless that he would claim the credit for her achievement.

"Commander Long Xu exaggerated. I don't have such capability. It's mostly due to my adjutant that I'm able to last so long," Nan Luo said honestly.

For him, the achievement of his twin sister and his were naturally different.
