Chapter 1839: Leave As Soon As Possible
Chapter 1839 – Leave As Soon As Possible
One sword to block
thousands! Zhao Hai used his actions to prove that this statement wasn’t
a myth. All alone, he blocked an army of 50 thousand Heavenly Demons.
When
Zhao Hai returned to the Hundred Flowers Army, the Heavenly Demons
turned frantic. Then they no longer attacked. The Heavenly Demon Army
doesn’t have superior enough numbers to force an attack. If they did,
they would only end up in a messy state.
Moreover, the Heavenly
Demons recognized Zhao Hai. With this knowledge, they no longer dared to
attack. Zhao Hai’s first army defeating Mo Like’s army multiple times
was spread throughout the entire invading force of the Heavenly Demon
Realm. They heard that Zhao Hai left the first army. Nobody expected him
to appear in the Hundred Flowers Alliance. It can be said that Zhao
Hai’s name was now infamous among the Heavenly Demons.
Heavenly
Demons were militant, but they respected Experts. It didn’t matter what
race this expert belonged, they would still be respected by the Heavenly
Demons. Zhao Hai was undoubtedly someone worth the respect of the
Heavenly Demon Race.
But at the same time, when the Heavenly
Demons face Zhao Hai, they wouldn’t be holding back. They would try
their best to kill him. For the Heavenly Demons, defeating a strong
person would increase the strength of their dao. The stronger they
respect a person, the more they want to defeat him.
Despite seeing
the Heavenly Demons retreating, Hua Wushang still couldn’t calm his
heart. What he saw shocked him. The prowess shown by the Freedom
Alliance made him blush with shame.
The strength of the Freedom
Alliance was worse than the Hundred Flowers Alliance. However, their
battle results couldn’t be compared. The Freedom Alliance only paid 20
thousand people to kill 50 thousand Heavenly Demons. The exchange of
casualties was surprising.
Hua Wushang and Li Xunhua now
understood how Zhao Hai was able to defeat the Heavenly Demons. He was
too formidable. He was able to use an army with spirit forming
cultivators as a majority to defeat a core formation stage and above
army of Heavenly Demons. If he was given a stronger army, what kind of
result would he show?
After making arrangements for the Hundred
Flowers Alliance army, Hua Wushang immediately went to Zhao Hai. At this
moment, Zhao Hai was inspecting the Freedom Alliance Army. He was
treating the injured cultivators while collecting the bodies in spatial
bags.
When Hua Wushang found Zhao Hai, he was just about finished
dealing with his tasks. Seeing Zhao Hai, Hua Wushang laughed and said,
“Junior Brother, hahaha. Today’s battle has been great. Really great!”
Zhao
Hai looked at Hua Wushang and then cupped his fist as he smiled and
said, “Senior Brother Hua, you’re here. I just finished my matters here.
Let’s go somewhere and have a chat.”
Hua Wushang nodded. Then he
flew beside Zhao Hai. As the two were flying, Hua Wushang said, “Junior
Brother Zhao, you don’t know how amazing your troops did in the battle
just now. We’ve never seen such good results before. I really want to
see if the Heavenly Demons still dares to underestimate us.”
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “Senior Brother is overpraising me.”
Hua
Wushang waved his hand and said, “What overpraising? I’m telling the
truth. Come with, Senior Brother Li is waiting for us. I’ll take out all
of my Hundred Flowers Wine. We’ll be drinking until we can no longer
stand up!”
Zhao Hai nodded and then went to Hua Wushang’s cave
residence. At this time, Li Xunhua was standing outside waiting for
them. Seeing the two arriving, Li Xunhua immediately welcomed them,
“Junior Brother Zhao, good work. Good command! Let’s head in quickly.”
The
three entered Hua Wushang’s residence and then sat down. With an
excited face, Hua Wushang said, “Junior Brother Zhao Hai, you’ve done
very well. The Heavenly Demons haven’t suffered that many losses.
Looking at their expression, it seems like they’re dying to eat you.
Hahaha. Satisfying, too satisfying.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said,
“It’s nothing. I’m just taking advantage of the enemy. Seeing my army’s
strength, they didn’t take us seriously. In the end, they suffered a
huge loss.”
Hua Wushang shook his head and said, “Not necessarily.
I know how strong the Heavenly Demons are. Even if they underestimated
you, they still sent 100 thousand troops. This means they are treating
you with importance. Despite that, you were able to kill 50 thousand.
It’s extraordinary.”
Li Xunhua nodded and said, “That’s right. And afterwards they no longer held back. Yet you still managed to kill half.”
Zhao
Hai smiled faintly and said, “The commander might value us, but it
might not apply to the ordinary Heavenly Demons. The weakest Heavenly
Demon is at the core formation stage. Compared to them, the strength of
my army is very low. If they didn’t underestimate us, they should have
noticed something when we stopped and tried to fight against them. In
that case, it would be strange if they didn’t suffer any losses.”
Hua
Wushang and Li Xunhua nodded. Although they were surprised by Zhao
Hai’s achievement, they felt better when they heard Zhao Hai. This was
how things happened sometimes. Upon seeing an outstanding person, people
would immediately find all kinds of reasons to downplay their
achievement. This way, they would feel better. Hua Wushang and Li Xunhua
were feeling the same way.
Li Xunhua lifted his wine glass and
said, “No matter what, we managed to cause the Heavenly Demons to lose a
lot. Come on, let’s toast to this win!” Zhao Hai and Hua Wushang also
raised their wine glass.
After drinking the wine, Hua Wushang
sighed and said, “Although the battle was refreshing, the Heavenly
Demons would certainly take revenge given their character. We have to
make advance preparations.”
Zhao Hai and Li Xunhua nodded. Then Li
Xunhua said, “The Heavenly Demons suffered a huge loss this time. They
definitely wouldn’t let this go. I think they will attack soon.”
Zhao
Hai replied, “When they arrive, they will definitely pay more attention
to us. The troops I brought are very limited. If they come with us with
too many troops, I’m afraid we wouldn’t be able to make any moves.”
Hua
Wushang and Li Xunhua nodded. They were aware of Zhao Hai’s situation.
His army is too small. Although they could still cause damage to the
Heavenly Demons, their result would be very small.
Hua Wushang and
Li Xunhua looked at each other and didn’t say anything. If it wasn’t
for their plan to weaken the Freedom Alliance, they would have handed
the alliance army’s control over to Zhao Hai. They would have been able
to gain a huge advantage against the Heavenly Demon Army. But they
couldn’t do it right now.
Neither of the two doubted Zhao Hai’s
commanding ability. If Zhao Hai was given control over the army, he
would definitely be able to defeat the Heavenly Demon Army. But that
might not be advantageous for the Hundred Flower Alliance.
Although
the Hundred Flowers Alliance obeyed the Hundred Flowers Valley, this
was because of the Heavenly Demon Invasion. Once this pressure was lost,
would the alliance still exist? If it does, would the Hundred Flowers
Valley still have the same amount of power? That’s hard to say.
Additionally,
if the Hundred Flowers valley wants to gain a greater reputation in the
Northern Divergent Province, they would have to weaken the other sects.
Therefore, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to command the Hundred
Flowers Alliance army.
Hua Wushang looked at Zhao Hai and said,
“Junior Brother Zhao, I think we should contact the Valley Master and
ask for more troops from the alliance. This way, they could supplement
your army. What do you think?”
Zhao Hai shook his head. Then he
smiled bitterly and said, “It’s useless. The reason my army has their
current fighting strength is because they have been trained. If new
people came over, there won’t be enough time for them to train. And if
they cannot follow my exact commands, then the army would become
chaotic. It would only be a disadvantage during the battle. Therefore,
sending more people to me wouldn’t be a good idea.”
Hua Wushang
nodded and no longer talked about the topic. His words were just
probing. He didn’t really want to give Zhao Hai more troops. Even if
Zhao Hai agrees, he would just find excuses so that troops won’t be
sent.
Moreover, Zhao Hai was aware of the first army’s situation.
Although it didn’t suffer heavy losses, the losses it incurred were no
longer advantageous. The army was slowly moving towards a completely
defensive position.
Fortunately, Tie Ying was a stable commander.
He didn’t give Mo Like a chance to win. This reassured Zhao Hai. As long
as nothing happened to the first army, then everything else was easy.
Also,
Zhao Hai needs to come over and support the Hundred Flowers Valley.
Firstly, this would cause the Heavenly Flowers Valley to be relieved.
Secondly, the losses of the first army would weaken the other sects.
Although it was a cold-blooded action, it was necessary for the future
of the Black Tiger Gang.
The three drank wine for some time before
Zhao Hai left. However, Li Xunhua didn’t leave. After Zhao Hai left, Li
Xunhua looked at Hua Wushang and said, “He isn’t even wounded. Zhao Hai
is formidable. What do you think?”
Hua Wushang replied, “He needs
to return to the Black Tiger Gang as soon as possible. The longer he
stays here, the more discontent the other sects would feel towards us.
Moreover, I’m also afraid that the Freedom Alliance’s first army
wouldn’t be able to stop the Heavenly Demons. If the Black Tiger Gang
gets eliminated, it wouldn’t be good for us.”
Li Xunhua nodded. He approves Hua Wushang’s plan.
