Chapter 544: The battlefield

With that cue, fifty arrows were piercing the air, raised above before it curved down toward their target. The tiny arrow disappeared easily among the sea of people, carried no harm.

After the first row, they Senja and the rest of fifty people did the same again and again, until all the pouches on their belt was gone.

The succession of arrows shooting didn't raise any suspicion from their enemy as it was only arrows with dull pointers.

However, after sometimes when the strong fragrance wafted out from the small pouches, gradually those Azura's infantries and cavalries lost their footing and having a hard time to focus on the battle as they tried hard to keep their eyes open.

The smell was so strong, mixed with the smell of blood that even Xiao Tianyao's people couldn't help but scrunched their nose.

Even though it affected huge amount of people, but still it wasn't enough to bring them down as their arrow couldn't reach further part of the battlefield and despite all of the obstacles the battle still continued.

Looking at the battlefield, Senja removed the mask from her face and took a deep breath.

Further away, the sun almost set as the red color complimented the color of the ground beneath it.

"Let's go." Senja waved her hand and signaled them to climb down toward the battlefield.

"Young Miss Senja, Elder Fu strictly said you are not allowed to involve." One of the men stopped her.

"Elder Fu is not here and the battle don't happen here as well." Senja said sternly.

"But, Young Miss Senja…"

Agitatedly, Senja turned around and faced the annoying man, glaring at him until he lowered his head. "I will not force anyone to follow me, if you want to stay, you can stay!" Senja turned around, straightened her back and pick up her sword.

In the end, all of them followed her along. They couldn't just watch idly when their comrades fighting for their life.

........

Fresh blood trickled down from the sharp edge of the sword, penetrating the enemy throat as his blood pooling on the ground.

The harsh wind blew, dissipating the fragrance of the sedative, most Azura's army suffered from this, but there were still many people who managed to survive.

The girl nimbly avoided the attack as she moved aside, grabbed the man by his neck and stabbed his heart that was shield with the armor. Strangely the red dagger that Xiao Tianyao had given her could penetrate the iron plaque without difficulty.

After the second person laid on the ground lifelessly, Senja grabbed her sword and moved forward, her purple hair was something that could be easily distinguished from a distance.

She stabbed the third person from his back went through his body and stuck out from the other side.

When Senja drew back her sword, a swift sound brushing past her left cheek and cut the tip of her ear, out of instinct she jumped aside to avoid the next attack.

Her gaze scoured her surrounding before landed on the face that she had known.

"Long time no see Leader Mo." Senja taunted while straightened her back, holding her sword tightly.

The cut on her ear wasn't too deep as it was only a graze.

"Senja." He acknowledged her with a deep voice. "It is indeed a long time. I didn't even know that you know how to fight."

Senja shrugged her shoulder and gave mocking smile at him. "Now you know."

"Since I know, should I test your ability?" With that being said, he dashed forward the speed that startled Senja.

Fortunately, she raised her sword in time to block the attack, however the impact of his strength was something that Senja could handle, she knelt down while holding her sword.

"Little girl, trying to act big." Leader Mo's face was right above her, he had advantage of their position to push her down.

The hands that gripped the sword were shaking, wasn't able to hold back any longer, but if she was about to give in, Leader Mo's sword would cut her into half right there and then.

Risking her shoulder, in a flash she reached out the dagger on her waist and swept it at his thigh.

Leader Mo groaned and staggered backward. Senja took the chance to stand up and put some distance between them.

Her movement saved her life, but didn't save her right shoulder from getting cut. Blood rushed from her shoulder, drenched her robe.

She was catching her breath when Leader Mo lunged at her with his sword was raising high, intended to stab her.

Senja didn't move back, she confronted him instead. With dagger in her hand, she ducked down and somersaulted. Her legs swung in the air and kicked Leader Mo's right hand, which holding the sword, with dagger in her left hand, she cut the same spot that she had been wounded earlier.

A shrilled screamed of agony come out from his mouth. He staggered back, but quickly found his footing again, he kicked Senja's right side and grabbed the girl by her collar.

His big right hand wrapped around her neck while the other hand held her left hand, preventing her to stab his heart.

He was trying to strangle her.
