The Great General: Wan Heian-Chapter 48: THE ADVERSITY

Amidst that dense forest, the group stood there in the presence of their new adversary. His overwhelming aura made them tremble and struggle for air.

Kuh!

Blood pooled on the ground from Jin's mouth, and that crimson ground terrified the others. Instilling panic in their minds.

"What do you want from me?"

Yadav stood before him and asked his intention. The man smiled and introduced himself.

" Well...nice to meet you, Sukoh Yadav. I, Kamehitosai Toshizou, am here to erase you"

" Killing me, eh?"

Yadav pulled his sword and stared him right in the eye. That strange violet aura surrounded him again, and his eyes glowed.

Toshizou smiled with excitement and muttered.

"Finally...you have shown yourself, Nezha!"

Yadav felt like Toshizou increased in size, but it was all that dark image formed by his aura. With red eyes and a black body, radiating its power around him.

"Wha...what is that?"

"And Nezha? If I remember, then Suyavarma also said something similar"

Yadav remembered Suryavarma shouting "Nezha" when he landed his final blow.

"Anyway, I have to.."

SFX: SLASH

A large slash to Yadav's chest. His eyes couldn't track that speed. In an instant, it was over, and blood sprayed in that forest.

"Huh? Something is flowing?"

Yadav slowly touched his chest, his palm was painted with blood. His eyes widened, and a strange noise echoed in his ears.

He looked at the armband that he got from Xie Hong. The black armband with lots of beads shone during that duel.

"An enemy who overwhelms you cannot be defeated until you bring the game to your turf"

These were Sun Bin's words that he read in the book. The quote is about the enemy who excels on his current turf.

This made Yadav think critically. An effort to connect all his memories and actions. The light passed through all of his memories, united into a single solution.

"Tactics..."

"If his turf is combat, then my turf is tactics!"

" Think...think"

"What is the most important action to do right now?"

" And is to..."

Yadav ordered all others about their next action; his voice echoed throughout the whole forest, and birds flew in flocks.

"Run to the horses!!!"

All of them mustered strength in their legs and dashed to the horse.

They leapt to their horses and rode out of the forest. It was the plains, and the sun had only risen. Kyou led the group, pulling all of them into the plains.

" We are out...!"

Behind them, a speck of something appeared; it was a human body running out of the forest, matching the speed of the horses.

"It's Toshizhou!!"

"What the hell is he?"

They were terrified, and Yadav was still bleeding, but his eyes shone with determination.

He observed the armband again. It was shining, a shine that astonished him. At that moment, he remembered his fight with Xie Hong and how he felt after exchanging blows. He felt only one thing.

"We were the same"

"If I took this from him, then I would win"

The sun rose above him, shining in red colour, and Yadav's aura emanated from his whole body. Guang, who observed all of this, admired that boy and reminded him of that man who shone like the sun. Although he fought 100 men by himself, it felt like he was a thousand-man army. The man made him grateful for the life you have. A single quote changed Guang from a living corpse to a vital human.

"If you were made to live, then there is a reason"

After seeing Yadav, Guang decided that he was the only one worthy of carrying that great name.Guang scoffed and shouted.

"You are not a match for this guy"

Toshizou stared at Guang with an unpleasant face, with those dark eyes. Those dark eyes that represented the moon.

"This young boy will surpass you now and here"

Yadav stood upon his horse and drew out his sword. Toshizou also prepared to intercept the boy by drawing his sword. The clouds covered the sun, no light came from the sky. A leaf fell to the ground, and Toshizou blinked his eyes. The violet aura surrounding Yadav took a new form.

"Wait...sakura trees?"

That moment Toshizou saw Sakura trees around Yadav, he was riding amidst them. Thousands of leaves fell from the trees.

"I have re-envisioned my fate, I will ascend above the heavens"

Yadav declares his intentions. His words were heavy; it felt like a prophet's. His sword started to shine, his eyes glowed, and his body radiated.

But several miles away, new threads of fate was being winded. The news of Bhadrak's death reached Suryavarma's ears. That made him unstable and left him the only aim to kill whoever did that. In the balcony of his room, he observed the vast sky. It was evening with a red sky, and it reflected his eyes making them red. The council had decided on Bhadrak's replacement and ordered him to visit the king. The man walked through the corridoor and opened the door to the king's room.

"I am your new advisor, my name is Houki"
