Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Dzing! Jleb!

"Ah Luo!"

Drip! Drip!

Blood dripped to the ground as Nan Luo gripped his arms. That was a close call. The arrow barely brushed against his left arm as he evaded. His eyes stared to the front where there were several people standing there.

From the looks of it, there was an army stationed here.

"Commander Hai." Long Qian Xing furrowed his eyebrows. "What's the meaning of this?"

Commander Hai.

If Nan Luo was not wrong, Hai was the surname of the second prince's maternal family. It seemed that the second prince was well prepared and even asked those from his maternal family to come and helped.

"Tsk, so you're still alive, Qian Xing." Commander Hai clicked his tongue when he saw that Long Qian Xing was alive. He had already asked his men to poison both Emperor Yang Zhou and Long Qian Xing so that the two of them would never escape.

His men didn't do anything good at all.

"Ah, so it was you who tamper the food." Long Qian Xing chuckled. "Unfortunately, such tricks won't give any effect on me."

He had been poisoned by his sister numerous times in the past to the point that he had developed various immunity. But of course, there were still some poisons he had to steer away no matter what the cost.

"Give way, Commander Hai and I'll give you a chance." Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Commander Hai with indifferent expression.

"Do you really think that it's possible, Your Majesty?" The last two words were said in mocking tone. Commander Hai waved his hand, instructing his men to ready their bow once more. "From the very beginning, you shouldn't have put me in the palace at all."

"Really, what a shame." Emperor Yang Zhou didn't seem to care. "Kill them all."

"With pleasure." Long Qian Xing chuckled and dashed forward.

Dzing! Dzing!

Tak! Tak!

The arrow that was shot was easily deflected by Long Qian Xing. The soldiers around Commander Hai was not that much of an expert, so he didn't have much difficulties. Upon reaching Commander Hai, Long Qian Xing drew his sword.

Clang!

"Tsk, are you really only 12 years old?" Commander Hai swung his hand with an annoyed expression.

"I'm already 13 years old not long ago." Long Qian Xing smiled and dashed forward once more. His movement grew faster as he rushed over and traded blows with the commander once more.

"Nan Luo, help him."

"Ok."

Nan Luo might not like Long Qian Xing, but he disliked this commander even more. His small body hopped forward while the other soldiers from the other side rushed with their swords. They wanted to prevent anyone from getting close to their commander.

'Too slow.'

Slash! Swish! Slash!

His small body moved agilely between the soldiers before he reached Long Qian Xing's side. The sword he carried was not the usual training sword but a real sword. The surface was faintly tainted with blood as he killed the soldier who blocked his way.

His movement suggested that it was not his first time.

Appearing right beside Commander Hai, Nan Luo had no hesitation as he swung his sword.

Clang!

"You overestimated yourself, Brat!" Commander Hai was clearly enraged. How dare his opponents sent two children to deal with him!

"Really?" Nan Luo asked back cheekily. The gaze on his face was exceedingly cold without any trace of his usual childishness befitting of his age. The moment Commander Hai hacked the sword towards him, he had moved to the side agilely.

'Hua'er is faster than this commander.'

Already facing Nan Hua's unpredictable attack for the past few months, Nan Luo suffered greatly under his twin sister's hand. He didn't even want to remember those days if not because it would be beneficial for his training.

Left, right, up, right.

The attack from Commander Hai was in a familiar trajectory and Nan Luo evaded effortlessly.

Long Qian Xing also didn't stay idle as he interrupted Commander Hai at the moment his attention was fully focused on the evading Nan Luo.

Slash!

The sword brushed against his hand.

'Too shallow.' Long Qian Xing noticed that it was bad but he kept his calm and swiftly evaded the next attack. His eyes focused on Commander Hai's movement as he analyzed calmly.

There was no such thing such as the name of movements, but he could guess what Commander Hai was planning from the minute details of his movement. It was not hard to guess since he could see the movement.

Clang! Swish! Clang!

Thus, the two boys somehow cooperated with each other to deal with Commander Hai.

Meanwhile, Old Master Nan was protecting Emperor Yang Zhou along with several soldiers whom they brought along. It was clear that every single one of the soldiers there were the elites. It seemed that General Lan put all of his effort in order to protect Emperor Yang Zhou.

"Is it fine to let those two fight him?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked while he wielded his sword. Old Master Nan could only protect him from one side, so if there was anyone who broke in, he would attack that person by himself.

He might be an Emperor, but he also learned martial arts when he was young. His overall capabilities were not bad at all.

"Luo needs more real life training." Old Master Nan chuckled. "Besides, letting him learn how to cooperate with someone as stubborn as Long Qian Xing will benefit him too."

"Are you not worried?"

"Worried?" Old Master Nan looked at his grandson and a smile formed at the corner of his lips. He moved sideways and swung his sword to kill the soldier before him as he shook his head. "Why should I worry?"

Emperor Yang Zhou glanced at Old Master Nan's direction when he heard that. Seeing the look on Old Master Nan's face, he didn't say anything else.. Probably, similar with Long Family, the way Nan Family treated their descendant was extremely harsh in order to prepare them to become a soldier.
