How to remove parent category from child category url using wordpress rewrite rule?

Question

I am trying to remove parent category from the child category but nothing happens. I have a website made with the use of EDD. currently i have categories like below:

• angular-templates
• react-templates
• bootstrap-templates

In each categories, there are sub-categories/child-categories as below:

angular-templates

• angular-1
• angular-2
• angular-3

now if i go to my sub-category, url displays as below:

http://admin-pc/mysite/templates/category/angular-templates/angular-3/

And i want to remove angular-templates or whatever is the category name in url to remove and display url as below:

http://admin-pc/mysite/templates/category/angular-3/

Is it possible with add_rewrite_rule()?

I have achieved what i want with str_replace, but that will affect site's SEO, so that's not possible.
