My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 1095 - 1098: A Difficult Battle

"Stay hidden here for a while. Do not make a move unless it's the perfect moment, understand?" Yun Hao instructed Qing'Er as he set up the trap. The sense of dread grew stronger, indicating that the pursuer was closing in on him."Got it. But who could it be that makes you so cautious?" Qing'Er wasn't a novice; she knew that if Yun Hao was this cautious, the opponent must be formidable.

"Is it that old man Chen?"

"It's not him; he doesn't deserve my attention!" Yun Hao shook his head and handed Qing'Er a dagger.

"Hold this. I've coated it with poison. Use it to ambush him when you get the chance!" Yun Hao had barely finished before he urgently said, "Hide quickly, they're here!"

Just as Qing'Er hid according to Yun Hao's instructions, a figure in white appeared not far away—the mysterious middle-aged man!

As soon as the man appeared, Yun Hao spotted the severed arm he was holding. Yun Hao immediately recognized it as belonging to Elder Chen, a powerful adversary.

Yun Hao's nerves were stretched taut. He was well aware of Elder Chen's strength; even without using his Primordial Spirit's power, he'd have a hard time defeating him.

Yet this mysterious middle-aged man had not only severed Elder Chen's arm but had pursued Yun Hao here, indicating that the fight was easy for him and he sustained no serious injuries.

Able to sever Elder Chen's arm without serious injuries—the man's power was fearsome!

"Why have you stopped running?" The mysterious man asked with a wicked smile, stopping ten meters in front of Yun Hao.

"I've been waiting here for you for a long time!" Despite acknowledging the man's danger, Yun Hao feigned arrogance, knowing he couldn't afford to lose momentum.

"Heh, you're much better than that old man!" The mysterious man laughed sinisterly and casually tossed the severed arm at Yun Hao's feet.

"Who are you? Why are you hunting me and Chen?" Yun Hao's eyes involuntarily narrowed as he glanced at the arm's uneven cut—it wasn't severed by a sharp weapon!

Could it be that the man tore it off with his bare hands?

"The master needs your flesh and blood for elixir-making," the mysterious man responded lightly, his sinister grin widening.

Master?

Elixir-making?

Yun Hao silently noted these clues, his eyes fixed on the mysterious opponent. This might be the toughest battle since his debut!

Victory meant survival.

Failure meant death with no burial place!

Both Yun Hao and the mysterious man were silent, staring each other down, their auras clashing and pressing against one another.

The tension was at its peak. Within a fifty-meter radius, not a breath of wind stirred—not because there wasn't any, but because their auras formed a cage that wind couldn't penetrate!

Yun Hao and the mysterious man were like beasts about to engage in a life-or-death fight within that cage!

"Then... let's fight!"

At the peak of tension, Yun Hao shouted, launching himself like a cannonball at the mysterious man!

Boom!

In an instant, their fists collided!

An invisible shockwave erupted from their collision, causing the surrounding dried branches and leaves to fly up!

Blood oozed from Yun Hao's mouth as he was knocked back four or five meters, barely stabilizing himself, while his Immortal Yuan depleted rapidly.

The mysterious man merely staggered, easily regaining his balance without much injury.

"You're good, but still not enough!" the mysterious man arrogantly stated, launching into an attack!

Facing the mysterious man's stormy assault, Yun Hao fought with all his might, continuously seeking opportunities to counterattack!

Though suppressed, Yun Hao wasn't backing down—trading blows blow for blow!

The longer the fight dragged on, the more shocked they were. Yun Hao was amazed by the man's undiminished combat power, contemplating using his trump card!

The mysterious man was equally surprised, sensing Yun Hao's combat strength slowly but steadily increasing with each encounter.

Still, the man wasn't worried that Yun Hao's strength would surpass his, only pondering if he had unwittingly become a good sparring partner!

Bang!

Another clash, Yun Hao's right arm was dislocated, and he was sent crashing into a large tree!

"Cough, cough…" Yun Hao coughed painfully. Regaining his breath, he quickly took a pill, using a single hand to steady himself against the tree as he slowly stood.

"Your strength surpasses that old man's. He escaped my grasp only with help. You won't be so lucky!" The mysterious man's blood boiled within, as the recent battle had indeed been intense!

"Don't think you can escape from me either!" Yun Hao retorted with a cruel smile, bloodthirsty gaze locked on the mysterious man.

Before the words faded, Yun Hao raised his left hand slightly and struck out at the mysterious man from a distance!

With his palm strike, a gentle breeze suddenly blew around, drifting towards the mysterious man.

"Call Wind!"

Yun Hao's expression turned grave as he unleashed the Call Wind on the mysterious man.

The mysterious man likewise felt the strike's might, his expression serious, unwilling to risk underestimating it due to its immense pressure!

"So you know the Immortal Technique. You're quite something. The more extraordinary you are, the better the elixirs the master can make from you!"

The mysterious man crossed his palms, channeling his Primordial Power and striking against Yun Hao's Call Wind.

Boom!

An earth-shattering roar erupted as a towering heatwave rose, tossing both Yun Hao and the mysterious man back uncontrollably.

Yun Hao fiercely crashed into a nearby tree, blood trickling from his mouth, his face deathly pale. After the exchange, Yun Hao was gravely injured!

Quickly taking another elixir, Yun Hao stared intently at the similarly bloodied and pale mysterious man in the distance!
