Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



"Commander Bin! It's not good, General Xing is here!" a soldier rushed to the headquarter in a hurry.

Commander Bin, who was resting while looking in the direction of General Shang, was stunned. He turned to look at his soldier and furrowed his eyebrows.

Their plan today was to use General Shang as diversion and have General Jue break through the enemy's headquarter, right?

How come they were the one who have their headquarters breached instead?

"Ready the soldiers for battle! Where are they now?" Commander Bin waved his hand and took his large bow with him. He strode to the other side of the hill as the second soldier rushed up to him.

"Commander Bin! General Xing breached the second layer of defense."

"So fast?" Commander Bin was stunned. He had already purposely set up the traps in that area, making those who came picked the harder route to go up the hill. At one side, there was a pile of rocks that could be used to block and trapped General Xing should he picked the wrong route.

But Long Qian Xing saw the trap in one glance and headed to his direction right away.

"Commander Bin! They're approaching fast."

"Prepare for battle! All archers are ready to shoot with my command!"

"Yes!"

Commander Bin looked below him and frowned. The size of the hill might not be as tall as that of a mountain, but it should still take a considerable amount of time for General Xing to climb to the top.

However, he could see Long Qian Xing was rushing forward in his direction with the soldiers behind him. The speed was fast, making it hard for them all to react in time with their breakthrough speed.

"Damn it!" Commander Bin readied his bow and arrow.

Swish!

"General Xing!" the soldiers behind him yelled when they saw the scene at the front and the arrow that was shot.

Bang!

The arrow penetrated the shield that a soldier brought to the front to block the route.

Long Qian Xing clicked his tongue. He knew that he couldn't avoid that arrow or it would hit his men, but his soldier had moved first to block it. Thankfully, the soldier was fine and only suffered some bumps.

"Continue to move forward!"

"Yes!"

Commander Bin frowned. "Shoot them all!"

The other archers also released their arrows one after another. Their comrades that were still mixed below with Long Qian Xing's soldiers screamed in despair.

"WE'RE STILL HERE!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Bang! Clang! Jleb! Thud!

It was chaotic as more and more people fell on the arrows' trap. Long Qian Xing frowned at this scene but his steps never slowed down. His eyes were focused on the bow and arrow that Commander Bin wielded.

Commander Bin prepared another arrow and aimed towards Long Qian Xing.

With Long Qian Xing's speed in advancing, he guessed that it would take some time for Long Qian Xing to reach the top. In that case, he should be able to shoot three to four more arrows depending on his aim.

Aiming straight at Long Qian Xing's heart, Commander Bin released the string.

Swish!

Clang!

Instead of a shield, the arrow hit the sword that Long Qian Xing had stretched. His sword shook a bit from the impact and Long Qian Xing frowned.

'As expected from one of the best archer in the six kingdoms.'

The sheer strength alone was more than enough to break an armor even though they were still a distance away. No wonder that a lot of commanders from other kingdoms fell in this commander hand.

As long as they were within certain distance, their armor worth nothing.

"How persistent." Commander Bin swiftly reloaded by taking another arrow and aimed it towards Long Qian Xing. No matter how fast Long Qian Xing is, there was no way that he would be faster than Commander Bin reloading and shooting speed.

And Long Qian Xing was practically running in a straight direction, only slightly swaying to the left and left occasionally.

Swish!

Clang!

Once more, the arrow was blocked perfectly with the sword. Compared to armor, the sword was harder.

But normal sword shouldn't have survived under repeated barrage from him.

"Damn it! Shoot them all!" Commander Bin gave his order to the other archers.

The archers under his command were slower and weaker than him. But in this close distance, their power was strong enough to break through the armor.

Dzing! Tak! Tak! Tak!

The soldiers under Long Qian Xing was using their shield, trying their best to block the incoming arrows towards them.

"Maintain your formation!" Long Qian Xing still gave his order even though his attention was on the bow and arrow that Commander Bin was using. Internally, he was thinking that he should have handed the task of breaking into the enemy's headquarters to General Chi instead of him.

Without horse, it was taking much slower for them to climb.

Swish!

Clang!

The distance was getting shorter and Long Qian Xing's arm shook a bit at the last arrow. Looking at the distance, the corner of his lips curled up to form a smirk while the pupil in his eyes dilated. Those who looked at him from close distance would be able to see the difference but those from a distance away wouldn't even know.

Commander Bin frowned as Long Qian Xing was already so close. His arms holding the bow and arrow shook a bit before he gritted his teeth and released the string.

In this distance, there was no way Long Qian Xing would be able to block in time unless he had superhuman's reaction speed. And the guards around him were also ready to attack as soon as Long Qian Xing approached.

Dzing!

Clang!

The last arrow was blocked with the sword.

"Kill him!" Commander Bin yelled.

Long Qian Xing snorted and swung his sword while he lowered his body slightly, avoiding the attacks directed at him. His movements were perfect as he avoided the guards around Commander Bin and reached the commander's position.

Commander Bin was stunned and yelled, "You…"

Slash!
