The Emperor's Prisoner
Episode 30's

The fight resumed. The sound of the audience cheering increasingly boisterous complaining each side. This time Li Jihyun's opponent was the commander of the palace. The middle-aged man stared coldly at Li Jihyun. "Hey young man!" call the commander in high note. Li Jihyun's head fell towards him. Since then his gaze has not been able to look at the commander. In addition to the larger body size of him. Also a glint of hatred flashed in his eyes. But, Li Jihyun was not afraid at all. Precisely smiling widely provoked anger from the commander. "What's your name?" asked the man again pointing a sword at him.

"Jin," Li Jihyun replied briefly.

"Jin today we will fight life and death. Whoever can survive first is the winner" challenged the commander-in-chief Li Jihyun.

"Alright commander. I accept your challenge. So who among us would think would live?" li Jihyun asked with a grin. He had already put up a horse while tightly holding the sword. So is the commander who is also prepared. He wouldn't give Li Jihyun a chance to attack him. He must win and avenge his deputy.

His determination to kill Li Jihyun was very strong. "Hmph! You think I'm gonna give up on a kid like you? You're wrong, son. Instead I will make you fall into hell," said the commander darted forward first. His extremely fast movements made Li Jihyun unable to clearly see his shadow. Suddenly the commander appeared right in front of him.

Li Jihyun swallowed. His eyes widened in shock staring at the commander in front. The sword in the commander's hand moved quickly to slap Li Jihyun's chest. The sabetan managed to tear off his clothes making Li Jihyun suffocate in shock. The sword in the commander's hand moved again targeting the tear in his clothes. Li Jihyun jumped back.

His heart raced fast and his breathing roared fast. It had not been able to lose the shock of the commander's sword once again attacked him. This time it injured his arm until blood seeped out. Long Jian who had been watching was almost standing up. Because, since the fight took place Li Jihyun did not show a gap that could make him attacked. But once the commander-in-chief became his opponent made Li Jihyun a thorn.

The commander clenched his jaws. He moved forward again with a sword in his hand. Every time Li Jihyun dodged her attack, the commander-in-chief got closer and attacked her. Li Jihyun also suffered many bodily injuries. Since then, the sword has frequently wounded him. He didn't even have a chance to attack.

The commander seemed to have no stamina against him. This time the opponent's position was above Li Jihyun's. Li Jihyun though did not feel any pain in the wound on her body. The girl was exhausted. His stamina was drained. The opponent faced was different from the previous opponent. The level of difference in strength seemed very clear. Li Jihyun's current position was pinched.

"Give up young man" said the commander as his second sword met. Their eyes looked at each other. He looked at his opponent who had not sustained any injuries. Repeatedly Li Jihyun attacked her opponent but did not hit the body of the commander in chief. The man so easily dodged his attack and counterattacked Li Jihyun. It made Li Jihyun hurt again. His blood was splattered on the ground. The hanfu that was worn was torn here and there.

"I'm not giving up!" reply Li Jihyun loudly. His feet have fallen to the ground. He pushed the commander-in-chief's sword with all his might. Swung the sword towards the commander. The commander smiled mockingly. In a single turn the sword managed to break Li Jihyun's sword.

Li Jihyun's unblinking eyes saw her sword cut off and fall to the ground. The audience held their breath watching him. The sound of cheering suddenly stopped. The mood changed quietly. The commander smiled faintly and wasted no time putting the sword on his neck. "Hows it? Do you have a final message?" asked the commander to look at him coldly.

Li Jihyun's att.i.tude turned to look at him. The body of the commander who was bigger than him kept the sunlight blocked. The commander's breath was already stung. During the match only he continued to attack Li Jihyun without pause. He did not give Li Jihyun a chance to strike back. Even if even Li Jihyun attacked him back, the commander would try to break his attack. Even retaliating was stronger than before.

Soon the laughter sounded. The laughter shocked all the spectators. They looked at each other looking at Li Jihyun's unexpected reaction. The commander's eyebrows shriveled in astonishment. "Why laugh? What's so funny? Crazy base," said the commander whose sword had already scratched Li Jihyun's neck. Blood soaked the sword. "Are you mocking me now?" ask the commander again with teeth chattering. But Li Jihyun did not care and continued to laugh.

The commander's anger was provoked. He also moved his sword to sever Li Jihyun's neck. But before the sword managed to separate the head from his neck. Li Jihyun's hand was precisely holding the sword. Everyone is surprised. Even standing up confirmed their sight. Li Jihyun's laughter had already stopped. His eyes stared intently at the commander. "You think I'm that easy to die?" li Jihyun asked raising one eye eyebrow.

"You ... how can it be?" asked the commander pushing his sword strong. The hand of Li Jihyun who was holding the sword let out fresh blood. He tilted his head and smiled widely. Then a giggling sound was heard making the feathers crouch. The mood became tense.

The commander in chief's eyes widened to see Li Jihyun's face that showed no pain. And seem to enjoy it. Blood flowed continuously flooding the ground where it stood. "Please watch your sword, old man" said Li Jihyun, making the man's attention switch for a moment.

Li Jihyun smiled faintly. As fast as the flash of a discordant sword in one hand moved to target the commander's jaw. He stabbed right into his jaw. A groan of pain and soon his hand released the grip on the commander's sword.

The commander looked at him irately. His eyes were full of anger. "Why? Are you giving up now?" li Jihyun asked to play her sword. He looked down at the commander in front of him. The commander is getting more and more upset. He was holding his wound. Blood continued to flow nonstop.

"Damn it!" she was laughed at by Li Jihyun. It was like it was his own entertainment.

The commander glanced at Long Jian who was looking at him coldly. Making the commander-in-chief instantly turn to look at Li Jihyun in front. Li Jihyun darted forward with a discordant sword in hand. The commander prepared to wait for Li Jihyun's attack. Just as the attack was about to hit the commander's body, Li Jihyun suddenly shifted to her side surprising the commander.

The sword that had swung was quickly turned towards Li Jihyun. Li Jihyun's head ducked quickly. He stuck a sword at the commander's feet. The sound of moans was heard again. Li Jihyun leaped backwards avoiding the stab of the commander. "I told you. It's not that easy to defeat me" Li Jihyun chuckled. The sound of pain turned furious.

"I'll definitely kill you!" the commander's cry was full of anger.

"We'll see later," Li Jihyun replied unwilling to lose.
