Flowers Bloom from Battlefield - 358 Jun Tribe
In the end, Jun Hua didn’t manage to slip out from the carriage. When the carriage stopped, several old ladies come to loosen the tie on her feet, so she could walk by herself. In addition, they used chains to tie her feet, making it heavier despite the length was quite long, allowing her to move rather freely. However, the rope on her hand was still as tight as before.
“With your martial arts, I’m afraid that you will run away the moment the tie is not tight,” Ye Jiu mirthlessly smiled. After knowing that Jun Hua was, in fact, Jun Min, he didn’t dare to be careless anymore. That name rang loud even before he gained his fame. He didn’t want to risk himself got killed just because of a moment of carelessness.
Her feet were tied with chains, but Jun Hua didn’t really care with their weight. Although her movement might be hindered because of the chain, the biggest problem lied in her own body. She cannot move according to her wish.
Jun Hua didn’t answer as she stared at the big city in front of her. Because of the gate, she couldn’t see clearly, but the door on the side of the gate was opened slightly, allowing her to see the grand splendor of the city. The big palace and buildings reminded her to Ming City. Did this place truly only a tribe and not a kingdom?
“The carriage cannot pass through the road, so I need you to walk,” Ye Jiu pointed to the side of the wall. There was a small passageway, locked with a door.
Jun Hua looked at the door suspiciously as Ye Jiu pulled her rope to move. She didn’t want to move, but if she didn’t, she was sure this man would pull her on the ground. Moving her feet step by step, Jun Hua approached the door.
The moment her finger touch the door, her body jolted because of a familiar sensation. It was as if this was not the first time she came here. But how was it possible?
In front of her eyes, she could faintly see a crowd of unfamiliar people. Based on their clothes, they shouldn’t belong to this era. They were walking and talking to each other, but she couldn’t hear their voices. The moment she blinked, the vision disappeared and all she could see was the closed door.
“You’re a genuine girl born from the Jun Family,” Ye Jiu watched Jun Hua’s reaction with a satisfied smile.
“What are you talking about?”
“Every woman in Jun Family would have a reaction the moment they approach this door. However, only a handful of them would awaken their ability to see the future. After all, the number of women in Jun Family is lesser compared with the men.”
Jun Hua frowned when he touched a metal ring, embedded on the door. With a slight movement, the ring was turned and the door miraculously opened. She stared at the mark that appeared at the door as her eyes burned with rage. That mark truly appeared again.
“Why are you looking at this mark?” Ye Jiu touched the mark, “This is the mark from the ancient times. Every place that holds the strange power beyond what the human could achieve would be marked with this mark.”
Jun Hua thought that the cave from before was genuinely the last one. The mechanism in this door was exactly the same as the one she found in the cave for the zone, which made her certain that they have the relation. If the one before were giving their freedom to gain the power to fight like a monster, now this one was giving a woman as a sacrifice in order to gain power.
She really wanted to destroy this place and erased everything.
“Walk.”
Jun Hua forced her feet to move as she has the urge to destroy everything on this place. Probably there will be people who were tempted to use the power again, but she didn’t want to see them sacrificing human to gain the power ever again.
At that thought, her feet stopped moving.
“What is it, Jun Hua?” Ye Jiu looked towards her with impatience. He was sure that Soujin was on his way to chase after them. If he didn’t hurry, he wouldn’t be able to finish everything before that man came.
“This is not right,” Jun Hua shook her head, “Human life is not that cheap.”
“You’re a general, aren’t you? How many lives have you killed on the battlefield?” Ye Jiu shook his head in disagreement. Adding one won’t change anything.
Jun Hua’s eyes narrowed as she pushed her concentration to the limit, thus entering the peculiar state. She knew that this state was the one making her body weaker as the aftereffect since she didn’t trade her freedom, but she needed it very badly. She couldn’t allow him to kill her.
Ye Jiu could sense the atmosphere around Jun Hua changes drastically. Although the girl was still standing firmly, he knew that he couldn’t stay on his place or he will die.
The next moment, Jun Hua leaped forward and aimed her feet to his stomach. The nonhuman speed made Ye Jiu startled, but he quickly moved to the side and blocked her attack. He only managed to block half of her attack, but the remaining attack made his stomach hurt.
Jun Hua kicked the ground and brought her toe upwards along with the chain to his face. He blocked it perfectly, but the chain captured his hand. As Jun Hua turned around and moved her feet, Ye Jiu was dragged down with his hand. After that, Jun Hua kicked backwards, aiming at his face.
For the first time in his life, Ye Jiu cannot fight back at all. The speed at which Jun Hua move was insane and he couldn’t keep up with it at all. Before he knew it, her feet landed at his face, breaking his nose in the process.
Argh!
Pant! Pant!
Jun Hua moved away from Ye Jiu and caught her breath as she panted heavily. She was still feeling unwell, and this action had drained her energy even more. She looked towards Ye Jiu, who has the face of disbelief. His nose was bleeding from the kick she gave, but he barely paid any attention to them.
“You earn the name of undefeated general for nothing,” Ye Jiu said as he slowly stood up. From the way Jun Hua stood right now, there was no way the girl could fight again. He wiped the blood on his face as he endured the pain. The girl was truly merciless.
Jun Hua didn’t bother to look at Ye Jiu anymore as the man approached her. She didn’t have much energy left. At most she could only enter the state once more for a few seconds before passing out. But, if she did that, can she survive?
