Chapter 980 - 423: Winning Big with Small Stakes, an Unexpected Turn (Part 2)
In single combat, he was no match for Hou Yuxiao. The Yucheng King and Yongwei King were also severely suppressed by Chu Kuangren and Lu Kangping. If those two million Red Flame Army arrived, with their oppressive energy, the three of them would be in even more dire straits. They might not even have the chance to escape.
"Run!"
On the other side, in the minds of Yucheng King and Yongwei King, Wanyan Jun's voice echoed. The two looked back at the cloud of blood-red energy, immediately nodded in understanding, and while dealing with Chu Kuangren and Lu Kangping, they retreated eastward.
"Dignified Princes of the Great Jin, yet so cowardly and timid, laughable!"
Hou Yuxiao's taunt made Wanyan Jun more certain of his decision to retreat. He came here to scout Hou Yuxiao's whereabouts. With two million Red Flame Army here and Hou Yuxiao, Chu Kuangren, and Lu Kangping all present, there was no need to stay any longer.
With just the three of them, they couldn't even fight Hou Yuxiao, let alone the two million Red Flame Army. Since it was confirmed that Hou Yuxiao intended to attack Hulao Pass, his most pressing task was to notify the Hulao Pass garrison and muster troops to encircle and suppress these two million Red Flame Army.
"Hou Yuxiao, don't be so conceited. Our Great Jin's strong armies are countless. With merely your two million Red Flame Army, dreaming of rampaging about, it's sheer delusion. Once my armies arrive, you'll be crushed to dust, hmph!"
Wanyan Jun was still furious. Unable to defeat Hou Yuxiao, now having to flee in disgrace, the spreading of this news would certainly dent the reputations of himself, the Yucheng King, and the Yongwei King. But for the great cause of the Holy Dynasty, he had no choice but to swallow this humiliation.
"Crush to dust, just with you, a cowardly mouse?"
Hou Yuxiao continued to mock, his spearplay growing fiercer, each strike aiming directly at vital points. Lu Kangping and Chu Kuangren did the same. Clearly, they were strongly motivated to prevent Wanyan Jun and the other two from escaping.
This only confirmed Wanyan Jun's suspicions. Seizing an opportunity, he abruptly withdrew his martial spirit's avatar, leading the Yongwei King and Yucheng King in a frantic escape to the east.
"Cowardly mice, cowardly mice, die for me!"
