Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 1687  Anger

Why?

Great General Ji smiled and didn't answer Fang Sheng Lin's question. Instead, he dashed forward once more, rushing towards Fang Sheng Lin.

Swish! Slash!

Evading Great General Ji's movement was very easy for Fang Sheng Lin. In his eyes, Great General Ji was very slow and couldn't even last for a long time. He just didn't understand why this great general, who kept on running away and sacrificed the lives of his soldiers, would suddenly turn around and give his life to him.

Is he that kind?

Fang Sheng Lin highly doubted it. With the hostile relationship between Fei Yang Kingdom and Fan Yi Kingdom, it was already a miracle for them not to kill him directly.

The two kingdoms couldn't coexist in peace of the ambitions of the two people at the top.

They wanted to be the final winner, but there could only be one winner. The others would have to step away and leave.

Clang!

Fang Sheng Lin saw that Great General Ji coughed and knew that he had given the other party a fatal wound. However, Great General Ji was still standing in front of him as if he couldn't feel that his vitality was draining away.

"You're crazy." Fang Sheng Lin shook his head. "You won't be able to stand up anymore with so much blood had been lost."

*cough*

Great General Ji knew that Fang Sheng Lin was telling the truth, but he didn't respond. Instead, he showed a faint smile and looked at Fang Sheng Lin. "I'll die, but you will also die."

"You…"

Fang Sheng Lin was about to say that Great General Ji was crazy when he felt tightness in his body. His eyes widened as he looked at the blood that had been spilled on the ground and a conjecture was formed in his mind.

"You're poisoning yourself just to kill me? Are you insane?" Fang Sheng Lin wanted to yell and say that Great General Ji was crazy.

Wounding oneself and kill the opponent.

This was only the move that would be done when one was already at the wits end and couldn't figure out any way to escape.

Great General Ji laughed and coughed. He could feel that his body was getting weaker as more blood was lost.

Thud.

He actually wanted to live. When he came to lead this war, he was originally very confident in himself that he would be able to win the battle. Even if Long Qian Xing is powerful, could he defeat so many veterans in war and also the people whom he had prepared for a long time?

Great General Ji didn't think that the brat Long Qian Xing would be able to do that.

Thus, he came here with the conviction that he would win.

The first few days were very good and General Kai was indeed very weak. He was not able to withstand the pressure given by others to him at all.

At this time, Great General Ji felt really good.

Yesterday, they were able to push Long Qian Xing back. It was an achievement that Great General Ji had long wanted for a long time. This damnable Long Qian Xing was too cunning and powerful.

Before Zhang Xu Kingdom's fall, they had faced against Long Qian Xing and had to retreat under his heavy and violent attack. At that time, they were desperate because they knew that they couldn't defeat Long Qian Xing. Many of them have their lives changed because of that brutal battle.

They had to face the consequences of losing the battle.

So this time, Great General Ji gathered these soldiers who were ready to die and willing to sacrficie themselves. They were ordered to sacrifice themselves for Fan Yi Kingdom in the face of Long Qian Xing's brutal attack.

What he didn't expect was that he will use them so soon.

Even…

He would use himself.

But he was already old and Great General Ji knew very well that right now, the battlefield was dominated by the younger generation. No matter how much his name resounded many years ago, he was no longer the same person as back then.

He had grown older.

He had grown weaker.

He had grown cowardly.

Without the courage to fight against these powerful younger generation, Great General Ji felt that he was being pushed to the abyss bit by bit. There was nothing that he could do to pull himself out from this quagmire.

So this time, let him make a name for himself.

With an ending that would allow his name to be written in the history, Great General Ji wished that when they mentioned his name, they wouldn't remember his cowardice and losing record.

Instead, they would remember this very last moment when he took his own life in order to help Fan Yi Kingdom.

Thud!

*cough* *cough*

As Great General Ji fell to the ground, Fang Sheng Lin felt that it was really hard for him to breathe. It was as if there was something that stopped him from being able to breath normally. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on Noᴠelꜰire.nᴇt

"Commander Fang!"

"Don't get closer!" Fang Sheng Lin roared. He looked at the soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom who rushed towards him with grim expression. He knew very well that this was the trap that Great General Ji had painstakingly prepared.

Sacrifice a certain number of soldiers, including himself, in order to kill someone powerful from Fei Yang Kingdom.

Even if this move would not stop Fei Yang Kingdom completely, they would be able to bite a large chunk of flesh from Fei Yang Kingdom.

He estimated that his move was targeted at Long Qian Xing.

But with Long Qian Xing's poison resistance, it would not be of much use. Not to mention, Long Qian Xing was not fixated on duels at the frontline like him.

"But Commander Fang…" the commanders were panicked when they saw him coughing blood. "Leave this to me." Fang Sheng Lin looked at the soldiers from Fan Yi Kingdom who were not afraid of death. "Since they want to kill me so much, I'll fight them to death!"

Clang! Slash! Slash!
