Chapter 1405 - 1409: Predicament

"I never thought you'd reincarnate too. It seems that back then when my Primordial Spirit was shattered, it was truly intense!

A Divine Emperor being trapped by a mere Petrification Power, you must be the first in history for that. Our battle years ago left us without a winner, and today I won't kill you...

When my cultivation recovers and you awaken from your petrified state, and your cultivation is restored, we shall battle anew!"

Looking at Yun Hao, who had turned into a stone statue, Willow Wood softly murmured, his pair of blood-red eyes fixed on Yun Hao. He then squeezed a drop of fresh blood from his finger, letting it drip onto Yun Hao's stone statue.

"I'll lend you a drop of the Blood of the Ancient God, use it wisely!"

With those words, Willow Wood turned and left, approaching Divine Venerable Mo Chou and speaking to Chu Yan.

"If you wish to save him and awaken him, you must coat his body with your own blood every day before sunset, continuously for a month. Only you can do it because your cultivation technique is the most similar to his. If others try, it might backfire!"

With those words, Willow Wood left with Divine Venerable Mo Chou, as quickly as they had come...

As Willow Wood left, Chu Yan and the other women finally regained their freedom.

Without worrying about anything else, they hurriedly turned to check on Yun Hao for any injuries.

Fortunately, Yun Hao's stone statue remained unchanged, without any damage.

"Elder Sister Mengqi, Shishi, you all stay home for the next month. I'm taking my husband somewhere quiet!"

Chu Yan softly spoke to Zhao Shishi and the other women present.

"Xiao Yan, are you really going to follow that man's words and use your blood to anoint Yun Hao's body?"

Zhao Shishi and the others looked at Chu Yan in disbelief.

In their eyes, the words of Willow Wood surely seemed nonsensical.

"Yes, there's no better way right now, we can only try it!"

"But we don't even know him, and he came to hunt Yun Hao initially. Can we trust his words?"

"Precisely because he came to hunt Yun Hao, that's why it's more trustworthy. If he truly wanted to kill Yun Hao, he could have done it with a single strike, there's no need to concoct such a method!"

Chu Yan spoke calmly, her beautiful eyes filled with a determined look.

Seeing Chu Yan so determined, the other women stopped speaking.

Though they didn't trust Willow Wood, they also worried if Chu Yan could endure using her own blood continuously on Yun Hao's statue.

But they knew, even if they persuaded her, Chu Yan would still do it.

Because if it were any of them instead of Chu Yan, they would have done the same.

Under Tang Rou's arrangement, Chu Yan took Yun Hao's stone statue and left the villa for the island where Yun Hao, Chu Yan, and Zhao Shishi had once crashed.

To prevent any disturbance to Chu Yan and Yun Hao, Liu Mengqi ordered the brothers of the Thunder Mercenary Corps to station on the islands surrounding theirs.

Anyone who dared approach the island was to be killed without mercy!

With the current status of the Thunder Mercenary Corps in the world, ordinary people wouldn't dare provoke them.

Furthermore, Tank, Cold Face, and others were present on the surrounding islands.

On the island, besides Chu Yan and Yun Hao, there were only three others who didn't approach them.

A'Jiao, Qing Luan, and A'Yun; the three women, as Yun Hao's servants, had the highest cultivation and guarded the island's perimeter.

Even if someone could break through the perimeter guarded by Tank and others, they wouldn't get past them alive onto the island.

The three were now at the Late Stage of Eighth Grade in cultivation, their combat power nearly unmatched!

"Husband, today is the first day; I'll wash your body for you!"

Chu Yan gently whispered while applying her own blood onto Yun Hao's stone statue.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

In the first week, there were no changes in Chu Yan's body; she didn't experience any discomfort despite losing large amounts of blood daily.

It wasn't until the eighth day that Chu Yan's body, despite her high cultivation and strong physique, began to feel a little weak.

However, Chu Yan paid it no mind, gently extending her slender hand outward.

Instantly, strands of energy drifted toward her, undergoing a transformation and entering her body, replenishing her slightly weakened state.

On the tenth day, some mercenary groups appeared around the island's periphery.

These groups were merely wandering on the outskirts for the time being, showing no intent to approach.

But Tank, Cold Face, and others dared not be careless, quickly issuing orders for everyone to remain on guard.

To prevent any mishaps, Liu Mengqi personally came to oversee the situation.

However, over time, more and more mercenary groups gathered around the perimeter, and even large yachts began to appear on the horizon.

Though the Thunder Mercenary Corps had thousands of members, the base surely needed people too, so they couldn't all be here.

Under no better circumstance, Liu Mengqi had no choice but to call for reinforcements, summoning Xuan Yi and others over, along with the group from the Asura Training Camp.

Upon learning that Yun Hao had returned and was in danger, Xuan Yi immediately pulled all training camp members worldwide over.

In just one day, they all arrived at the surrounding islands, forming an encirclement with Liu Mengqi and the others.

Should anyone dare make a move, they would face an immediate pincer attack.

However, these people dared come because they were prepared.

All these mercenaries were Yun Hao's enemies from before, assembling upon learning that Yun Hao was grievously injured and needed recovery.

For no other reason than to take the opportunity to kill Yun Hao, to kill the Asura who made them tremble in fear.

If Asura died, they wouldn't fear the Thunder Mercenary Corps.

"Mengqi, our situation is tough now. Even though the Thunder Mercenary Corps and the brothers from the Asura Training Camp number over five thousand, there are at least tens of thousands surrounding us!"

On the island where Yun Hao and Chu Yan resided, Liu Mengqi and others set up a temporary command post. Tank looked at Liu Mengqi, his expression somewhat grave.

However, their command post was still some distance from the center of the island where Yun Hao and Chu Yan were.

"Even if our brothers fought with all they have, they could only hold out for about a week. The main issue is that this terrain is unsuitable for our brothers to fight!"

Cold Face also shook his head, not very confident about this battle.

The limited area of the islands means trying to fight here would likely end in being wiped out by the opponents' onslaught.

However, if they don't bring the fight to the sea, it would be hard to defend!
