231 Destined Battle
Border of Yuan Kingdom
Jun Hua and Jun Zhenxian hurriedly went towards the border. They didn't bring many of their soldiers with them. Looking towards the far place, Jun Hua can sense the strong killing intent emanated from the place. The soldiers of Pan Kingdom were fighting relentlessly, but they cannot contend against that one man.
"He's simply a monster..." Jun Hua said with gritted teeth.
Before she could go down, Jun Zhenxian had held her hand and shook his head."Jun Min is already dead, you are not allowed to go down anymore."
Jun Hua inhaled sharply."But, you're not his match, Grandpa!"
"This is an order, Jun Hua."
Jun Zhenxian rarely called her Jun Hua, most of the time it will be Hua'er. This time, he was calling her full name made Jun Hua knew that the situation was severe. She looked towards her grandfather with unwilling on her eyes. It took her a few seconds to answer the other party.
"If something happened to you, I would go down there, " she said with determination.
Jun Zhenxian nodded. Compared with the young girl before him, he was indeed no longer her match. She had grown so much that he cannot catch up with her anymore. But, he didn't have any regret. He was already old and can't possibly fight much, but he needed to stop that man and prevented his granddaughter from fighting him and possibly losing her life.
Taking his sword, he went down and stood before the gate. Jun Hua was watching intently, ready to go down should he needed it. She didn't want to lose her grandfather because of the Lan family monster.
The man finally appeared. He was wielding a big lance on his hand. His clothes were drenched in blood, making him looked scarier.
"Jun family, " he recognized the one standing before the gate, it was Jun Zhenxian. Smiling, he strode forward.
"You're already old, where is the other Jun?"
Jun Zhenxian laughed."You won't be able to meet with him. I will be the one to face you."
Lan Pan snorted."A man like you cannot fare with me."
"So arrogant!"
The two of them moved at the same time. Lan Pan's lance was really quick and Jun Zhenxian power didn't match with him. Despite the two of them clashed at the same time, it was Jun Zhenxian who was being pushed back by Lan Pan.
"Indeed, you're worthy of the name monster."
When Jun Zhenxian first saw the man, he was only a teenager. But somehow the aura around him was full of bloodlust and arrogance. Such a young man, but he was already full of blood thirst. Jun Zhenxian thought that there was something wrong with him and true enough, he found the real reason.
The young boy was learning how to use the sword for killing since young age. Lan Teng wanted to build a perfect soldier to overcome the pressure the Jun family had, but what he produced in the end was a monster. A monster that even he cannot tame, not a single person can do it.
The man became a forbidden subject in the Ming Kingdom. Even the emperor felt terrified because of the man. But, they didn't kill him. They wanted to use him to win the war when the Jun family was completely suppressed.
But their plan didn't end well. Lan Pan went wild in one of the occasions and nearly killed his own father. In the end, they locked him up, but he was still very uncontrollable.
Jun Zhenxian raised his sword again and lunged forward to attack Lan Pan. Lan Pan moved forward and attacked too. Again and again, Jun Zhenxian was pushed back until he was near the wall. Lan Pan raised his hand and slashed down.
Jun Zhenxian used his sword to block the attack, but the power behind Lan Pan was too big. The sword broke and the lance cut off his arm.
Seeing that scene, Jun Hua immediately shouted."Grandfather!"
Lan Pan wanted to continue attacking, but he quickly shifted his lance into defending formation against an attack from above. The sword and the lance collided, making room for Jun Zhenxian to retreat to the side.
"Hua'er!"
Jun Hua leaped back from the position in midair using the force from their clash.
Her eyes stared at her hand before deciding to run towards Lan Pan once again. She wouldn't let him go for hurting her grandfather. She tried to attack him from the side, but he read her trajectory and used his lance to push her back.
The two of them stumbled back from the clash, but it was clear that Jun Hua retreated further compared to him. Her hand was trembling terribly from those two clash, signaling her that she couldn't hold him if they clash again.
'I can't match him. '
Be it from speed or power, she didn't have the same ability with the other party. Closing her eyes, she pushed herself deep into concentration and forced her body to move even faster towards Lan Pan.
With her current ability, she could only think of one way to defeat him.
Lan Pan saw her attacked him and thrust his lance forward, sealing her way towards him in a swift move.
She looked towards the incoming lance. This time, she didn't dodge his attack and let his lance pierce through her stomach as she closed their distance and slashed at his shoulder deeply.
The moment her attack succeeded, she leaped backwards. Her stomach was bleeding hard, but she gritted her teeth as she looked towards Lan Pan who was bleeding even more badly compared to her. He was staring in disbelief, but his mouth curved to form a smile.
"Indeed, you're another monster like me, " he said, partially laughing.
'Lunatic!' that was the only thought Jun Hua had towards this man. She held her stomach with her other hand, trying her best to stop the bleeding. Should this man attack reached her again, she wouldn't have any power to defend and she might loss her life.
Lan Pan coughed a mouthful of blood. He looked at the distance for a moment as a frown appeared on his face and then looking towards the bleeding Jun Hua before retracting his gaze, "Let's meet again, Little Girl."
With that remark, he moved away from that place. Jun Hua wanted to chase after him, but the wound she had made her no longer able to move much. Her feet staggered, and she nearly fell to the ground.
"Hua'er!"
Jun Zhenxian hurriedly supports Jun Hua using his intact hand. He looked towards the soldiers near them.
"Call our doctor! NOW!"
Taking Jun Hua into his embrace, he ran towards the nearest inn. Using the first aid, he quickly pressed down the wound to stop the bleeding. Jun Hua was still conscious, but she no longer had any energy left because of her pushing her concentration real hard just now.
Seeing her grandfather frantically tried to stop the bleeding, Jun Hua quietly raised her hand and tore away her face mask. Due to the face mask, her breathing was blocked a bit and it was uncomfortable to use when she fully needed to breathe deeply.
Jun Zhenxian was startled when he looked at his granddaughter usual face."What is it, Hua'er? Let me treat your wound first."
"It's not that deep and I didn't get hit in the vital organ, " since she used that chance to get close to Lan Pan, obviously, she would not let herself get hurt too much."And your arm Grandpa, it needs treatment too."
"You're the one who needed it first! And it's obviously a deep wound, you silly girl!"
The doctor hurriedly came inside and treat Jun Hua per Jun Zhenxian's order as the old man retreated to the other room. There was only one doctor that they brought along this journey, but at that moment, another doctor has come.
"General Jun Zhenxian, let me see your wound!"
"You're..."
