Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 663  The Aftermath

How did you know?

It was not only Long Qian Xing who wanted to know the answer, Emperor Yang Zhou also wanted to know. This ability was somewhat bizarre but Long Qian Xing had explained that it was just a state of extreme concentration.

The only difference with normal extreme concentration was that Long Qian Xing would be able to calculate everything and 'see' everything to the very detail. When he was within this state, he would be able to fight using the least force possible in order to make sure he deal the best damage.

The difference wouldn't be big for those who didn't know Long Qian Xing personally. But Emperor Yang Zhou knew the efficiency of Long Qian Xing's attack increased rapidly when he was in this state.

Another weakness of this state was that the more enemies he had, the more consuming this state would be.

If Long Qian Xing only focused on one enemy, he would be able to last for a longer period of time even up to half an incense stick of time. But if he had to face multiple enemies, he would have to divert his attention while maintaining his focus. It would cause him to get tired very quickly.

He hadn't found a correct method to use this state and usually only use it for a short period each day to train himself.

At the very least, he could enter and come out of his own free will now.

Back then, he couldn't even enter this state on his own.

"Is it important?" Nan Hua turned to look at Long Qian Xing. She knew very well that the only reason why she knew about this ability was because she had read about it. The special state that Long Qian Xing somehow could enter ever since he came to this world.

When Long Qian Xing was in this state, Nan Hua knew that she was not his match at all. He could 'see' everything and react in the best way at the shortest time possible. It would make him practically invisible for a short period of time.

Of course, outside this state, Nan Hua was confident that she could be on par with Long Qian Xing.

And if she was far away from him, she could kill him with her needles.

Not that she wanted to, though.

Long Qian Xing coughed and calmed down. He hadn't crossed his limit, so he was still mostly fine.

"Can I issue another mission to you in the future?"

The one who took his special mission could be anyone from Dark Moon Organization. However, Long Qian Xing would rather keep having the same person did his mission because it would limit his interaction with those from Dark Moon Organization members. More people who knew his secrets wouldn't be too good for him.

Nan Hua heard the faint sound of rapid footsteps and knew that the reinforcement was about to arrive. She took out a different token that had the word mission written on it. It was actually only used by the Gen to issue mission to each other in case they needed help from other experts.

Nan Hua threw it towards Long Qian Xing. "Use it if you want me to be the one to accept. Give me my payment soon."

Long Qian Xing's lips twitched when he heard the second sentence. Before he replied, he saw Master Jiu disappeared into the corridor and noticed that there was rapid footstep coming.

The reinforcement was here.

It wouldn't reflect well on either one of them if it was known that they were cooperating with an assassin. Even though they might know about it from the back, it wouldn't be good to ever mention it on the surface.

He lowered his head and looked at the white token in his hand.

White color was hard to make in this era.* However, this token was coated in white color on one side with the word 'mission' carved on the surface and judging from the material, it was not the common painting pigment but rather the white clay. At the same time there was the word nine below the word mission.

'What an exquisite token.'

Long Qian Xing's lips twitched. He felt that whoever would try to forge this token would be challenging their deep pocket of money. Just making this token alone would cost them plenty of money because of the material used to make it.

He kept it away just in time because Prime Minister Lan barged in with a lot of soldiers.

"Your Majesty!" Prime Minister Lan yelled so loudly. His eyes widened when he saw the mess of the room inside, but he heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the three people who stood there.

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Prime Minister Lan. "Prime Minister Lan, I'm here."

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Yes, but Qian Xing will need some treatment." Emperor Yang Zhou pointed at Long Qian Xing beside him.

Long Qian Xing had some scratches. It was not life threatening, but it would be better to treat them soon before they become infected. In addition, Long Qian Xing was indeed feeling very tired.

At this point, Prime Minister Lan didn't even care about why Long Qian Xing appeared in this place as he sighed. "In that case, let's hurry and go back."

"They are coming from various organizations." Long Qian Xing pointed at the assassins lying on the ground. "Thankfully they have some disagreement, so I can take advantage of that. Have you perhaps caught some of them?"

Lan Qiu was looking at Long Qian Xing speechlessly.

He was sure that the real reason why the assassins were having 'disagreement' with each other was because Long Qian Xing actually hired an assassin to protect Emperor Yang Zhou. However, he knew very well that it would be better for him to stay silent if he still wanted to keep his life intact.

"I caught some." Prime Minister Lan would not blame Long Qian Xing. He could see that the situation here was very dire. Even if Long Qian Xing killed them all, he would only say that it was good that they were alive.

Long Qian Xing inquired the situation outside as they walked out of the passage.

Emperor Yang Zhou and Lan Qiu followed behind them.
