Hua Kai said this because he wanted to be on the same level as Qi. However, would the Yan Kingdom give the Hua family this opportunity?
To be on the same level as the Yan Kingdom, the highest level of combat power was the foundation. Hua Kai entered the starry sky and a powerful Will of Wind locked onto him. Hua Kai also saw the King of Yan's Will of Wind beside him. Hua Kai felt that the King of Yan's Will of Wind should be at the fifth level. The other party wanted to imprison him. Hua Kai guided the Force of Frost to fight against the other party as he retreated.
Chinese Ink and the rest saw that after Hua Kai finished speaking, the cloud above the King of Yan's head started to grow bigger and moved towards the top of Hua Kai's head. A white cloud also rose above Hua Kai's head. This was the heavenly providence of the Lofty Talk. If one party's heavenly providence dissipated, it meant that the other party had lost.
The officials of the Yan Kingdom saw that the heavenly providence above Hua Kai's head was not even 1% of the King of Yan's. They were all guessing how long Hua Kai could last.
Hua Kai escaped from the other party's imprisonment. He saw the King of Yan's figure charging towards him. He knew that he was no match for the King of Yan. His only goal was to escape. As long as he was not killed by the King of Yan, the Lofty Talk could continue.
Hua Kai's Force of Frost and the King of Yan's Will of Wind were both special wills. Hence, there was no such thing as restraint. They were competing between mental strength and the Will of Yan.
The King of Yan was indeed a veteran Golden Core Realm expert. Even if they did not compete in terms of strength and physique, Hua Kai was no match for him in terms of mental strength and understanding of the Will of Yan. After a few moves, Hua Kai was forced to retreat.
Hua Kai raised his hands in the air and the Five Elements Mountain appeared in his hands. He controlled the Five Elements Mountain and threw it towards the King of Yan. A huge spear shadow condensed in the King of Yan's hand. That was his Dharma treasure.
The Dharma treasures of both parties collided. The Five Elements Mountain pressed down on the King of Yan's Numinous Treasure, making it unable to move. The Will of Wind on the King of Yan's body was weakening continuously. Very soon, it was below the fourth level. Hua Kai instantly felt his body becoming lighter. His figure moved and disappeared.
King Yan felt that the Five Elements Mountain had disappeared and the power of the rules around him had started to recover. However, Hua Kai was nowhere to be seen.
"Hua Jun's [Power of Ice] has already reached the peak of the fourth level when he was twenty years old. The power of the spirit treasure he materialized is already on par with a high-grade spirit treasure.
In particular, the last move that completely hid his aura was indeed surprising. However, the Hua family and the Yan Kingdom are like the stars and the sun and moon. Even if I can't kill you, the Hua family is no match for the Yan Kingdom, "the King of Yan looked at Hua Kai and said.
In this round, Hua Kai was completely at a disadvantage. If the Five Elements Mountain had not suppressed his opponent at the last moment and allowed him to escape into the Family Space, he would have lost this round!
However, the final result was that the King of Yan could not kill him. In that case, the Hua family already had the opportunity to communicate with the Yan Kingdom on an equal footing. If Hua Kai could escape from the King of Yan, then the King of Yan could not directly deal with the other experts of the Hua family. Otherwise, Hua Kai could also deal with the experts of the Yan Kingdom. Both parties already had the foundation for a negotiation.
"The Hua family does not want to compete with the Yan Kingdom. We only want to be independent of High Willow County. The Yan Kingdom is powerful, but the Hua family is united. If the Yan Kingdom wants to attack High Willow County, they will have to pay an unimaginable price," Hua Kai said.
At this moment, the King of Yan's white cloud of providence above Phoenix Arrival Stage had already occupied 90% of the area. Hua Kai was forced into a corner and looked like he would be destroyed at any time. Everyone in the Hua family could not help but worry.
"The Yan Kingdom has more than two million people and a strong army of more than four hundred thousand. How can the Hua family resist?"
The King of Yan started to face the situation seriously. Since he could not completely suppress Hua Kai, then the Hua family had the opportunity to communicate with the Yan Kingdom on an equal footing. Today, he could only make Hua Kai submit to him if he won completely with "Talking Aloud."
Hua Kai felt the surrounding scenery change. This was the distribution of power between the two sides.
The Yan Kingdom's territory was six times larger than High Willow County. In addition to the Donghu grassland that both sides had just occupied, the Yan Family's land was four times larger than the Hua family's.
The scene in front of them turned into a chess game. The King of Yan sent out four hundred thousand elite soldiers to split into two groups. One group of two hundred thousand soldiers went over the Yan Mountain and attacked the east of High Willow County. The other group of two hundred thousand soldiers went around the grassland and attacked Leopard Jade Pass.
"Although the population of High Willow County is not as large as the Yan Kingdom, there are still three hundred thousand people who can fight. In order to protect their home, the Hua family will defend their territory to the death," Hua Kai said.
He sent a hundred thousand militia from Hua City, High Willow City, Xia City, and a hundred thousand slave soldiers to the east of High Willow County. The main fighting force was only five thousand Vermillion Bird soldiers and four thousand reserve members.
When Hua Kai sent the troops over, he saw the power of both sides decrease. The Yan Kingdom's logistics were difficult. The Hua family's elites attacked the enemy's logistics, but the Yan Kingdom was unable to defeat the High Willow County militia.
"The Hua family is so capable. The two hundred thousand slaves can stop the Yan Kingdom's two hundred thousand army. But how will the Hua family defend Leopard Jade Pass?"
On Feng Lin Stage, Hua Kai's luck seemed to be greater than before. The King of Yan's two hundred thousand army was losing more and more quickly in High Willow City and Donghu. His losses were about one to one compared to the Hua family militia. But because of the logistics, it was more and more difficult for him to advance in the east of High Willow County.
Hua Kai was not afraid of the Yan Kingdom's attack on the east of High Willow County. He sent all the forces of the affiliated families. Even if the Hua family could not defeat the Yan Kingdom, they would not be defeated. The Yan Kingdom's main battlefield would be Leopard Jade Pass.
"The Hua family has defended Leopard Jade Pass for many years. They have their own methods. I fear your two hundred thousand army will not be able to take Leopard Jade Pass," Hua Kai said.
Yan Country's 200,000 strong army arrived at Leopard Jade Pass. Many of the elites launched attacks at Leopard Jade Pass. However, Leopard Jade Pass was like an immovable boulder that did not budge at all. Yan Country's battle prowess was constantly weakening. In just a short while, the heavenly fate qi above Hua Kai's head had expanded to 10%.
The two were practicing the luck of the two countries. The Yan Kingdom's power was being depleted, but the Hua family's power was not even thirty percent of the enemy's. This was rare.
The King of Yan frowned. He sent his spirit into the battlefield and realized that his low combat strength was being depleted too quickly. Leopard Jade Pass had a special defensive weapon that posed a great threat to those below the Mortal Realm. Many of the enemy's core generals were always active, but they did not die. On the contrary, the King of Yan's side suffered more losses than the enemy.
"It seems like many of the core members of the Hua family have the same life-saving methods as Hua Jun. I wonder why the Hua family's losses are so small in such a huge battle," the King of Yan looked at the battlefield and asked Hua Kai.
This kind of practice was controlled by the Heavenly Dao. The result would not be wrong. The King of Yan looked at Hua Kai and asked.
"The Hua family has its own way of dealing with it. King of Yan, you should take a look at the east battlefield first!" Hua Kai said with a smile.
There were more and more soldiers in the east battlefield of Gao Liu County. Many herdsmen had organized their slaves to fight against the Yan Kingdom's army. The Yan Kingdom's army had tried to break into the core area of Gao Liu County many times. However, when they reached 300 miles east of Gao Liu City, they had already lost more than half of their soldiers. The Gao Liu County's militia and slaves were much more effective than the Yan Kingdom's auxiliary soldiers and slave soldiers.
When the King of Yan heard Hua Kai's reminder, he organized another 30 militia and slaves to attack the east of Gao Liu County. However, his eyes were fixed on Leopard Jade Pass. He wanted to see how hard it would be to break through.
Hua Kai saw that the enemy had mobilized more soldiers from within the country. The Heavenly Fate above the King of Yan's head had weakened again.
"The Yan Kingdom's 200,000 soldiers, 100,000 of which are the elites of the Yan Family. You have already defended Leopard Jade Pass for such a long time. This elite cavalry is almost depleted. What other trump cards do you have?"
As the King of Yan spoke, he deployed another 200,000 soldiers from within the country to Leopard Jade Pass. After these 200,000 soldiers, the Yan Kingdom's youths were almost depleted. If they did not win, then this battle would be over.
"Hehe!
Four thousand elite city guards, three thousand cavalry, 20,000 militia, and 40,000 slave soldiers were actually able to deplete the Yan Kingdom's 180,000 soldiers. That's enough.
However, it won't be that easy to break through Leopard Jade Pass. "
As Hua Kai spoke, he deployed 5,000 Household Servants from Hua City and all the Undying Army to Leopard Jade Pass. Leopard Jade Pass's losses immediately slowed down while the Yan Kingdom's losses began to increase.
"The Hua family actually has such a trump card. The combat strength of this small team is unimaginable. Is this the Hua family's final trump card?"
Seeing his soldiers dying one after another, the Heavenly Fate above Hua Kai's head suddenly increased. It had already reached 20% of the Yan Kingdom's Heavenly Fate.
"It seems like the Yan Kingdom's elites aren't that great. Now that the Yan Kingdom's elites outside Leopard Jade Pass are almost depleted, does the King of Yan still want to attack Leopard Jade Pass?" Hua Kai looked at the King of Yan and laughed.
"Hua Jun, you might be celebrating too early!"
As the King of Yan spoke, Leopard Jade Pass was breached multiple times and the Hua family began to suffer heavy losses. Many times, the walls of Leopard Jade Pass had already been breached. When Hua Kai used his mental strength, he realized that the other party had deployed 18 special experts. Each of them had the cultivation of Xiantian Full Circle and it was easy for them to charge up the walls. The Undying Army began to die continuously and soon, less than half of them were left. The Hua family had also successfully killed two special experts.
"I guess this must be the Yan Kingdom's trump card, the Eighteen Horsemen of Yan Yun!
Everyone is proficient in the Divine Steed Battle Formation. Even a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator can only suffer under the hooves of the horses! "
As Hua Kai spoke, the other party's experts began to die. In the blink of an eye, only seven of the 18 were left.
The King of Yan's eyes focused and saw that the entire Leopard Jade Pass had been breached. The entire Leopard Jade Pass had been lost.
"King of Yan, I'm afraid this is a little too much!"
Hua Kai hadn't used the Spiritual Artifact [Repeating Crossbow Chariot] because he was waiting for the other party's experts to make a move. When the King of Yan Kingdom saw that more than half of the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun had perished, he couldn't help but take action personally. Luckily, Hua Kai discovered it and saved Yu Jun in time.
"What do you mean by too much? War is just a matter of strength and timing!
Didn't you use that Spiritual Artifact at the last moment? "The King of Yan saw that the entire Leopard Jade Pass had been breached and the Yan Kingdom's army had already entered the pass. He spoke to Hua Kai.
What was surprising was that even though the Yan Kingdom had breached Leopard Jade Pass, the heavenly providence above Hua Kai's head had only decreased by a little. It was still around 20% of the King of Yan's.
The audience below the high platform could only measure the battle situation through their conversation and the heavenly providence above their heads. When Chinese Ink and the rest saw that the heavenly providence above Hua Kai's head wasn't extinguished and was faintly fighting against the Yan Kingdom, they revealed a smile on their faces.
However, the officials of the Yan Kingdom frowned. They didn't expect that a small Hua family would put the King of Yan in such a difficult position. This was because they heard the two of them talking about the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun. That was the last trump card of the Yan Kingdom. The King of Yan had even used the Eighteen Steeds of Yan Yun.
On the [Phoenix Arrival Stage], the battle between Hua Kai and the King of Yan had reached its climax. Under the escort of Hua Kai, the remnants of the Leopard Jade Pass began to retreat towards High Willow City. The King of Yan personally led the Yan Kingdom's army and fought their way to High Willow City.
The King of Yan personally attacked many times. The Hua family could only use the human wave tactic. This caused them to suffer heavy losses. Hua Kai and the Hua family elites could occasionally launch sneak attacks against the Yan experts. The Yan experts continued to die. When the King of Yan was attacking High Willow City with all his strength, the remnants of the Azure Dragon army suddenly appeared with a hundred thousand soldiers. The North Mountain army had arrived.
"Hua Jun, I didn't expect the Hua family to completely control North Mountain in the four years they were in High Willow Commandery. No wonder they could defeat Donghu.
But it seems that your High Willow City is about to fall, "the King of Yan said to Hua Kai as he watched the Yan army attack High Willow City.
High Willow City had three hundred thousand soldiers. Half of the population of High Willow Commandery had been sent into High Willow City by Hua Kai. Now, they were fighting a life and death battle with the Yan soldiers.
"King of Yan, you don't think that the Hua family has lost after taking High Willow City, do you?
Your thirty thousand soldiers at Leopard Jade Pass have all been eaten by me. Now, the Yan army has no way out. You don't think that the sixty thousand Yan soldiers in High Willow City can make the Hua family surrender, do you? "Hua Kai looked at the King of Yan and said.
The heavenly providence above Hua Kai's head continued to grow. Soon, it had reached half of King Yan's level. Yan Kingdom's elites were trapped in the battle at Highwillow City, but the Hua Family's resistance did not weaken. Instead, it seemed to be getting stronger. He could not understand why the Hua Family was still resisting when the capital city had already been destroyed.
