The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1287 - 1288: Hanging by a Thread

"I’ll go!"

"I’ll go!"

Xiao Yue and Mu Wanqing said simultaneously.

"Only one person can go; too many would be a pointless sacrifice."

The mysterious man said.

"I’ll go!"

Xiao Yue’s face was filled with determination; she believed that only she could help Ye Mo retrieve his heart.

"Very well, we’ll wait here for your return. Remember, the effects of the Break-Extreme Pill only last for three days; after that, Ye Mo will die completely."

The mysterious man said.

Xiao Yue did not respond and left the cave immediately.

The mysterious man also turned around, smiled, and sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Ye Mo: "Mo’er, having such a devoted woman, I can be at ease as your father, though you seem quite the flirt."

This mysterious man was naturally Ye Qing. He could see that Mu Wanqing also liked Ye Mo, but she was not as assertive as Xiao Yue.

"Senior, why won’t you help all the way and go underground to retrieve the heart yourself? With your power, it should be a simple task."

Feng Chu couldn’t help but ask.

Feng Chu had never met Ye Qing, so he didn’t recognize Ye Qing, nor did Mu Wanqing.

"Coming here is already breaking the rules, so I can’t do anything. Even helping you is against the rules."

Ye Qing said with a smile.

Breaking the rules, Feng Chu didn’t understand, nor did Mu Wanqing.

"By the way, you mentioned that once Ye Mo comes back to life, he’ll immediately become a Demi-Honored Fighter. What’s this about? Doesn’t he need to open the Sevenfold Space-Time Gate?"

Feng Chu asked curiously, feeling that everything the man said was shrouded in mystery.

"Opening multiple Space-Time Gates is merely to summon the Soul Origin. If you open one Space-Time Gate and directly summon the fused Soul Body, it wouldn’t be necessary."

Ye Qing smiled and said, "You have the body of Divine Demon, so you should have some affinity with spirits. However, achieving perfection is unattainable in the secular world or even in the Ninth Heaven."

The ability to see through his physique shocked Feng Chu greatly, and he guessed that this man must be a master.

On the third day, Xiao Yue indeed retrieved the heart, but seeing her, it wasn’t as difficult as everyone imagined.

Xiao Yue immediately cupped her hands towards Ye Qing and said, "Thank you, Senior."

Ye Qing looked at his future daughter-in-law and smiled, saying, "Alright, no unnecessary talk, quickly help Ye Mo replace the heart."

This heart was considerably larger than a normal human heart.

The task of helping Ye Mo replace the heart was very simple; within a few breaths, Ye Mo’s heart had been reattached.

However, Ye Mo did not wake up as Ye Qing had imagined.

A day later, Ye Mo still hadn’t regained consciousness.

"What’s going on?"

Xiao Yue murmured.

"It seems things are bad."

Ye Qing also frowned, saying, "Now Ye Mo’s organs, limbs, and bones are completely intact, and even his breathing is normal. It seems that waking up depends not on external force, but entirely on himself."

"The stronger his will to live, the greater the chance he’ll wake up."

Ye Qing said again.

Three days passed, and Ye Mo lay on the boulder, still not waking up, causing Xiao Yue and the others to become anxious again.

Xiao Yue sat on the boulder, holding Ye Mo’s arm, saying, "Ye Mo, didn’t you say that when we return, you’d marry me gloriously? How can you not keep your word."

"Please wake up soon. Now I don’t care about becoming a hero, saving the Lingwu Continent; I just want you to live safely, just live as an ordinary person, that’s enough."

Xiao Yue’s face was full of tears.

Mu Wanqing watched the scene, her eyes red, sharing the same pain as Xiao Yue, unable to express it as candidly.

Time passed, a full month, and surprisingly, Ye Mo’s life aura grew weaker, even the heartbeat slowed, seemingly about to stop.

And within this month, the Blood Prison Battlefield underwent a drastic change.

The brothers Chimimouryou, almost swept through the entire battlefield, nearly invading the Spirit Martial Camp’s protected area, yet no one dared confront them.

"Chief Commander, what should we do now?"

One of the leaders asked Li Murong.

"What can we do? There’s nothing to be done."

Li Murong’s face showed a hint of helplessness, within this month, his Spirit Martial Camp lost over 500 leaders, and nearly a thousand soldiers.

Even he was not entirely confident he could defeat the brothers Chimimouryou.

"Iciness!"

Li Murong stated.

"Iciness, present!"

Li Han Guang said.

"You go back now, ask Lord Qingfeng to come to the battlefield, he is the only one who might turn the situation around."

Li Murong said.

"Yes!"

Li Han Guang cupped his hands and immediately left the camp; Lord Qingfeng, publicly the strongest Demi-Honored Fighter in the Spirit Martial Camp, rarely concerned with worldly affairs, was as his name suggested, like a breeze.

Whether the Spirit Martial Camp won or lost, it had nothing to do with him.

Many leaders who went to the Blood Prison Battlefield weren’t concerned with the outcome but sought greater Immortal Artifacts.

Another day passed, and indeed Qingfeng was invited by Li Han Guang, sparking the fiercest battle between the Spirit Martial Camp and Wraith Camp, with Demi-Honored Fighters finally taking action.

The first battle saw Li Murong against the white-bearded elder, ending in a draw.

The second battle, another Demi-Honored Fighter from the Spirit Martial Camp took part, but the opponent sent Third Prince Wang Liang, who directly killed the Spirit Martial Camp’s Demi-Honored Fighter, plunging the Spirit Martial Camp into a deadlock.

And the third battle was to be held tomorrow, with the Spirit Martial Camp’s strongest Mu Qingfeng against the Wraith Camp’s strongest Kill Break Wolf.

And this battle is to decide the ultimate winner.

On the other side, Xiao Yue and her companions waited anxiously, paying no attention to the Blood Prison Battlefield’s affairs.

Ye Mo’s life aura was at its lowest; initially, they estimated he could last another day, with the life aura disappearing completely, but Ye Mo held on for three days.

Rumble!

Just as Ye Mo’s aura vanished, a rumbling sound arose, and a huge portal broke through Heaven’s Flaming Sword, shattering the secular Reincarnation, appearing above Ye Mo’s head.

That portal, like a dragon opening its mouth, was indeed a dragon’s gate, from which a phantom Soul Body identical to Ye Mo leapt out.

The carp leaps through the dragon’s gate!
