Chapter III - Encounter

On the year 1502,

The 10th year of King Hanul reign

"My lady, please be careful, what should I do? when my lord find out that you sneak again, I will surely be punished "

(Bo Linger, lady in waiting of Liwan, 17 year old)

"Don't worry, I will take all the blame"

I jump in the back gate of our mansion in a man dress

(Qi Liwan, 15 year old the only daughter of General Qi")

"My lady wait for me!"

she walk towards the back door but I'm sorry

my Bo Linger, I want to be alone I use my Qingcong skills for her not to cope up with me.

Sure enough the view here is quite nice, maybe later I'm going to fight in this arena I've been grounded for 3days and I feel that anytime I'm going to die out of bored.

"That's the winner, he knocked all four people at an instant"

"Look at his dark aura, he looks even cool"

The man they talk about caught my attention, oh a man under Cres March, one of the powerful assasin organization, Why I know? Because in this man's dress embroidered their marksmanship, he also wore a red mask

"Who else will challenge him?"

I jump in the middle of the arena

Everyone shouted as if they are very eager to watch a show

"Little dummy, you're digging your own grave, Cry and beg then I will show mercy "

"A man who talk big is just an empty can, sorry to disappoint you, but a master don't cry"...

What a brave man, he jumps without a hesitation to fight me. I tried to sway him but he never shows any fear instead what I saw is a smirk, determination and enjoyment. I was a bit amused this must be a good and exciting battle. I rush towards him...

He started to wave his sword, truly only a skilled warrior but I without a weapon dodge it very well

Another cheer and shouts from the people

"Don't just dodge, finish it"

someone shouted

Pissed off, I don't want others to dictate me…

"Ha! That's fast, but you're bleeding"

said my rival, damn I got distracted a while ago how dare this man scratch me on my shoulder, alright let's be serious

I pulled his sword using my kusarigama, and jump on his back then kick him, since he is an experience warrior he managed to grab my feet and flip it, I twist my body then use my right feet to jump far away from him, my opponent really is powerful, he grab me in my waist and throw me with my left hand on the ground I managed to avoid the impact

another satisfied shouts from the crowd

I grab a whip on the corner of the arena their are weapons provided to be used. I started to whip him and he only hold my whip then flip it to me, such a strong force, I dash towards him I whip left and right and then tied him, he is bleeding

"Now we are even" I smirked

I walk closer to him when suddenly a dagger rush towards me, I look into the crowd and then saw men in black cloak, my real opponents arrived - The death squad, they are paid by someone I don't know to kill me they have my different posters such as wearing men dresses, a courtesan and so on..

" Need to go, till we see each other again"

I told to the man next to me then release him with my whip

I ran quickly using my Qing Cong I am out numbered there are at least 20men whose chasing me this time I forgot to mention, this is actually the third time they came for my life I could not be able to win if I fight them face to face

One of them is really fast he blocked me and aim his sword luckily I'm quick enough to use my kusarigama I killed him by hitting his neck

one down

"Who is that man, why he was chased by a dark organization like the dead squad" this question lingered in my mind, although he is a man he's so good at using a whip, I begin to change my clothes actually what I wear in the Arena isn't mine I just "borrowed" it from an unknown man who wants to kill me

I walked in the market, its so lively since the lantern festival is coming in a month then I saw the same man , he enters an abandoned house

I followed him..

Damn, I killed at least eight of them, but I'm really exhausted, they are experts in different weapons thanks to my master who taught me well. I need to hide at the corner of this street is an abandoned house I don't want innocent people to get involved. They are coming... three, no all the remaining twelve have come.

"Damn can't hold it" I whispered

"Need help" I jolt as I heard the voice in my back then face the one whose talking just to see a very handsome man, I didn't sense his presence he had a great inner aura.

"Who are -?…" I did not able to continue because a sword stung on the wood where I was hiding, I pulled this man sword and began to fight he is shocked but then start to help me "luckily I brought two" sword he said

The fight is so intense to kill four death squad warrior is extremely amazing "Hate this" he shouted who is he? his so strong even in the arena, he is the only person who managed to make me bleed then flee without being killed by me. There are only two opponents left and he seems exhausted, I was busy fighting when a dagger aimed at her but he is also fighting someone "Watch out" I shouted he dodged it but the one whom he's fighting raise his sword in my adrenaline rush I killed my opponent then rushed to him, I manage to block the sword, but it hit his hair, and it loosens his hair tie ...So beautiful..

And then a realization came to me that the one who challenge me in the arena and killed thirteen death squad members is a ...WOMAN!
