Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 887: Burning City

887  Burning City

"What is it?"

"Whoa."

Feng Ao Si also came over and was stunned by the sight in front of him. He looked at the pile of grasses and blinked his eyes.

"Does these people ate grass to live?"

Drap! Drap!

Their noises attracted the other soldiers who patrolled the area. Feng Ao Kuai naturally rushed over when he heard the noise.

When he reached the house, he saw Nan Hua walked out with a soldier carrying a man behind him. He frowned.

"What happened?"

"He's trying to burn this house." Nan Hua glanced at the other parts of the city. "And probably along with the entire city."

They all turned to look at the direction where Nan Hua looked at and saw smoke rising up. In that moment, they all felt their blood turned cold.

No wonder they felt strange.

The people who lived in this city all had decided that they would burn down the entire city even if they were staying inside.

"Get out of the city!"

"RUN!"

"NOW!"

The fire spread at rapid speed as the people had filled their houses with many things that could easily burn down. At the same time, several 'commoners' suddenly sprang forward and attacked the soldiers.

Slash! Slash!

"Why are they attacking us?"

"They're soldiers." Feng Ao Kuai's eyes turned cold. He had heard that River General Kui was a very smart and strategic general. Was this also the same general who assigned his soldiers to take on death mission?

He actually asked the soldiers to sacrifice themselves.

"There are many women and children in this city!" Nan Luo shouted when he recalled that he had seen children. However, he saw that the children were looking at them with hatred back then.

"Just bring out whoever you can bring. Those who fight will be eliminated." Feng Ao Kuai made the decision right away.

"That's easier to understand."

Feng Ao Si noticed a group of people who rushed over from the alley and grinned. He lowered his center of gravity before running towards the group of people like a bull running towards his prey.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of fighting spread all over the area along with the rising smoke.

Swish!

Nan Hua easily killed the people who tried to attack them as they got close. Their priority was to get out of the city before the wall broke down. While the wall was made out of rock, it had been smeared with grasses all around it.

There was no saying whether the wall would hold on or break down.

*cough* *cough*

"Don't breathe directly." Nan Hua narrowed her eyes. Because the burning occurred everywhere, it caused a lot of carbon dioxide to gather. Carbon dioxide was heavier than the air, so they would go down.

And in this environment, the buildings were taller than them, so the carbon dioxide fell down from above.

Soon, they wouldn't be able to breathe at all.

"That's the gate!" One of the soldiers yelled.

"Wait, where's Brother Ao Si?" Feng Ao Kuai shouted.

Nan Hua immediately stopped and ran back. She had seen Feng Ao Si rushed over to attack the people who attacked them not far behind. It was at the closest alleyway.

Thunk!

Bang!

The building collapsed and Feng Ao Si walked out. His clothes had turned black because of the smoke and soot. However, there was some kind of complicated gaze he had in his eyes.

"Pardon me."

"Wait…ugh."

Nan Hua directly kicked Feng Ao Si on his stomach and then carried him like a sack. The sight of a youth carrying a young man far bigger than her looked rather strange, but there were not many people who were paying attention to them at this time.

Thud!

When they were out, Nan Hua directly threw Feng Ao Si to the ground. She looked into the city and Hua didn't drag him out.

"I think so."

saw that the fire had completely spread out. It seemed as if everyone was trying to burn down the city from their house.

How ruthless.

"Brother Ao Si, are you alright?" Feng Ao Kuai frowned and looked at his brother. There was some burn mark on Feng Ao Si's palm, but aside from that, he was fine.

Feng Ao Kuai really felt that he shouldn't have left his older brother alone. Given his brain, a situation like this was far from what he could handle by himself. He could have killed himself if Nan Hua didn't drag him out.

"I think so."

"What is it?" Feng Ao Kuai noticed that there was something amyss.

"They are children and women who attacked me." Feng Ao Si was at loss.

When he charged forward, he was expecting to meet with soldiers or other experienced people.

But he was completely wrong.

Those people who wanted to attack him were children and women. They were carrying weapon and tried to attack him.

Naturally, Feng Ao Si could defeat them effortlessly because his physical condition was far better compared to those people. When he flung them to the burning house, he heard the child's shrieking scream.

He couldn't bear it and stepped forward to pull the wood up.

However, the child instead took out the dagger and attempted to kill him. Feng Ao Si evaded but it also caused him to let go of the burning wood.

The building killed that child.

"He's… barely 8 years old."

He's still so small.

When he looked at that small child, Feng Ao Si could remember his younger brother, who was still very young. There was no way he could have killed the child so mercilessly like he used to do.

Feng Ao Kuai was silent for a moment. He grabbed Feng Ao Si's face and slapped the other party.

Plak!

"Wha…?"

"This is war." Feng Ao Kuai looked at Feng Ao Si deeply. "Since they dared to take their weapon and attacked you, they're your enemies. Be it children and women, since they attacked you, does it mean that you should not retaliate?"

Retaliate….

Feng Ao Si was silent.
