"It's done, Young Miss..."
Hou Lin stopped talking when Nan Hua motioned for him to shut up. The door that was connecting the passage to the hall was slowly being opened.
A young man around the age of 20 to 21 stood there while holding a stack of papers. He was dressed in brown robe and the markings on his robe clearly told them that he was nothing more than one of the low ranking officials. As for why he was there, no one knew for sure.
Nan Hua's attention landed on the room behind the young man. It was not the main hall but the side hall. It seemed that this left side passage that she picked was the one that was connected to the side hall rather than the main hall.ViiSiit novelbi/n(.)c/(o)m for latest novels
'Did I pick the wrong path?'
'But Commander Hai is indeed here.'
'Is there anything I forget?'
"Should I kill him?" Hou Lin asked, his eyes narrowed at the young man before him. He didn't know why but he could sense that the young man before him would be a threat if kept alive.
Nan Hua didn't answer as she was scrutinizing the young man before her. She slowly asked, "Who are you?"
The young man jolted at Nan Hua's voice. He was not any less surprised than them right now. When he heard the commotion from this supposedly abandoned secret passage, he thought that there must be some kind of conspiracy and that he was in bad luck for encountering them.
But he also knew that if they opened the door and found him here, he would be dead either way.
Thus, he braved himself and opened the door.
But what he saw shocked him to the core. A young kid who didn't look any older than 10 years old was dressed in the way an assassin would. And the man before him even called her as 'Young Miss?' Just who was she?
"I... My name is Zhang Dan Shui, I'm the first son of Zhang Family," Zhang Dan Shui quickly introduced himself. His heart was thumping madly because he knew that whether he could stay alive or not depended on the young girl's whim in front of him. He didn't even dare to breathe as he was afraid that he would displease the other party.
...
- Nan Luo's side -
Bang!
The commander wouldn't be tricked so easily like before again.
In that case, they should just use their advantage of number!
Swish! Clang!
Nan Luo swiftly moved to the opposite side of Long Qian Xing. If he attacked from the front, he would attack from the back. If he attacked from the right side, he would attack from the left side.
Their continuous attack wore Commander Hai down.
More cuts appeared on their bodies, including the commander. He could clearly sense that the longer he dragged this, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. The problem was, he couldn't deal with any of them.
"Damn you brats!"
Commander Hai suddenly moved over to Long Qian Xing and raised his hand to launch a big attack. Long Qian Xing knew that he didn't have any escape route and raised his sword to block it.
"Now, Brat!"
Bang!
The two swords met head on, causing tremendous pressure on Long Qian Xing's body. Even the floor beneath his legs cracked due to the power that was transmitted from the swords. Long Qian Xing gritted his teeth to withstand the attack as his hand trembled slightly.
It was so heavy!
The full power from a commander who had spent so much time in the battlefield was so heavy. It represented all of his power that brought him to his current position.
This commander... was not someone who had not survived on the gruesome battlefield!
Nan Luo didn't waste his chance. He ran towards Commander Hai and thrust his sword forward.
Jleb!
"You...."
