Chapter 461: Chapter 460: How Long Can You Live?

"Scram!"

Ye Xuan faced tens of thousands of fierce sharks, his expression indifferent and a cold gleam flashing in his eyes as he uttered a light reprimand.

Boom————

In an instant, it seemed as if an extremely terrifying pressure was released from Ye Xuan’s body.

Yet this pressure was invisible, as if it did not exist at all.

At least, Duan Rourou standing behind Ye Xuan could not feel it whatsoever.

However, those tens of thousands of fierce sharks seemed to sense the most terrifying presence in the world at that moment, and fear surfaced in their brutal, ferocious eyes.

Not a single one of the tens of thousands of fierce sharks dared to charge forward to tear and bite; instead, they stayed where they were, warily watching Ye Xuan.

The next second, the fierce sharks turned tail and fled.

In Ye Xuan’s presence, they had sensed a tremendous terror.

This kind of fierce might, they had only ever felt from the Sea Beast Overlord of the West Coast Sea.

That Human Clan youth was definitely not a mortal!

It was the innate instinct of a fierce beast.

Faced with an even more ferocious entity, they could sense it more directly than humans could.

In Ye Xuan’s presence, this group of fierce sharks sensed a power of extreme terror!

Simply put, in the eyes of the fierce sharks, Ye Xuan was a very terrifying existence!

Under Ye Xuan’s light reprimand, the tens of thousands of fierce sharks fled.

If this were to be spread, probably no one would believe it.

After the fierce sharks had left, Ye Xuan calmly turned around, looked at Duan Rourou who had closed her eyes in resignation to her fate, extended his hand, and said:

"The fierce sharks are gone, hand over the Taiyi True Water."

Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s voice, Duan Rourou was somewhat afraid to open her eyes.

She tentatively opened her eyes a crack, then quickly shut them again.

But she had seen Ye Xuan.

Her heart thumped wildly, and upon opening her eyes again, she saw Ye Xuan safe and sound, and the hordes of fierce sharks gone, her despair turned to tears of joy.

"I’m alive!"

Duan Rourou was overwhelmed with emotion.

Her previous anger at Ye Xuan for taking advantage of the situation was completely dispersed in this moment.

No matter what, Ye Xuan had truly saved her—a fact beyond dispute.

Although Ye Xuan’s request for the Taiyi True Water seemed like a transaction,

it was a thousand times better than Fan Jian!

At least, that’s what Duan Rourou thought at this moment.

"Thank you," Duan Rourou said gratefully, taking out the Taiyi True Water and handing it to Ye Xuan.

She had never needed this Taiyi True Water herself; it was meant for Fan Jian.

Who knew that Fan Jian, in order to save his own life, would directly abandon her and leave.

So, giving away the Taiyi True Water, Duan Rourou didn’t feel any regret.

Ye Xuan casually accepted the Taiyi True Water.

This Taiyi True Water was exactly what he needed for his cultivation.

With it, he could enter the Fourth Layer of the Taiyi True Water.

"Junior Sister Duan!"

It was at this moment that Fan Jian returned.

When she heard Fan Jian’s voice, Duan Rourou’s post-ordeal happiness vanished instantly, she looked at the rapidly approaching Fan Jian with a cold face and said coldly, "Weren’t you going to find someone to rescue me?"

Fan Jian chuckled sheepishly, looking somewhat guilty, but then thickened his skin and said, "Junior Sister Duan, I thought about it and realized I couldn’t leave you alone to face the fierce sharks, so I came back to rescue you."

In reality, he had simply forgotten one thing—that the Taiyi True Water was still on Duan Rourou. So he came back, and just when he did, he noticed the fierce sharks retreating, which led him to seek her out.

"Oh? Afraid that I alone would face the fierce sharks, then why did you bestow a sword upon me and kick me as you fled?" Duan Rourou sneered, "Fan Jian, oh Fan Jian, do you really think I, Duan Rourou, am a fool?"

"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Duan Rourou said coldly.

Fan Jian’s face took on an unnatural expression, but at that moment, he caught sight of the Taiyi True Water in Ye Xuan’s hand and his expression darkened immediately, "Duan Rourou, you actually gave my Taiyi True Water to another man!?"

"You whore!"

Fan Jian bellowed angrily.

"Kid, hand over the Taiyi True Water immediately!" Fan Jian said coldly, eyeing Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan glanced disdainfully at Fan Jian, didn’t bother to respond, and said to Duan Rourou, "This is your business, I should be leaving."

His work there was done.

As for the ’love and hate’ between Duan Rourou and Fan Jian, he had no interest.

The reason Ye Xuan asked for the Taiyi True Water when rescuing Duan Rourou, aside from its usefulness to him, was also because he didn’t want to entangle himself further with Duan Rourou’s karma.

Having lived through countless eons, he understood the cycle of karma and reincarnation.

Some causes and effects are best left untouched.

"If you don’t hand over the Water Spirit, you won’t leave here alive!" Fan Jian blocked the way, looking coldly at Ye Xuan as he said in a deep voice, "Duan Rourou, oh Duan Rourou, who would have thought you’d find a little lover outside? I really was blind!"

Upon hearing these words, Duan Rourou felt her chest heave with anger, her complexion turned extremely ugly.

This Fan Jian, not only did he betray her, but now he was also turning the blame around on her, truly disgusting to the extreme!

"If it wasn’t for my savior who rescued me, I would have already perished in the jaws of the Fierce Shark. Fan Jian, I won’t allow you to speak ill of my savior!" Duan Rourou pronounced each word deliberately.

"Hahaha, Duan Rourou, oh Duan Rourou, can’t you even come up with a believable lie? This guy is merely at the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, how could he save you from the jaws of a Fierce Shark?" Fan Jian, however, burst out laughing.

"You talk too much," Ye Xuan swept Fan Jian a glance, his expression both smirking and somber.

Fan Jian withdrew his gaze, looked toward Ye Xuan, and said coldly, "I can overlook what’s between you and Duan Rourou, but you must return the Water Spirit to me!"

"And what if I refuse?" Ye Xuan replied with a slight smile, appearing completely harmless.

"Refuse?" Fan Jian grinned, saying coldly, "Then you can only die here."

"Fan Jian!" Duan Rourou could no longer bear it and charged directly at Fan Jian.

This man was truly detestable!

Slap!

However, already injured and now also frightened, Duan Rourou’s strength did not manifest, and she was no match for Fan Jian.

Fan Jian struck back with a slap across Duan Rourou’s face, sending her flying.

Fan Jian didn’t even glance at her, spitting out curse words, "A disloyal wench who betrays her own kind."

"Kid, hand over the Water Spirit quickly; my patience is limited!"

Fan Jian looked at Ye Xuan, impatiently saying.

Although the Fierce Shark had retreated, Fan Jian was still deeply shaken, fearing it might return here.

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "Giving it to you is out of the question. Besides, you couldn’t handle the consequences of taking my life."

"Therefore, it’s better if you’re the one to die."

Ye Xuan’s thoughts moved.

The Sword Domain instantly activated.

In a moment of silence, Fan Jian didn’t even get a chance to react and was sliced into countless pieces.

His body was utterly dismembered.

Nothing was more brutal than this.

That scene naturally also caught Duan Rourou’s eyes.

Duan Rourou’s face turned pale, with a look of horror in her beautiful eyes.

Everything that happened today was beyond what she could endure.

Although she hated Fan Jian, seeing him die so miserably, she couldn’t find any joy.

Perhaps it was because she had yet to witness the cruelty of the Cultivation World.

Just like Ye Xuan once said to Tong Shishi.

In this world, many people have grown up naively.

Only when they see the other side of the world do they realize that it’s like this...

Duan Rourou was not quite at that stage yet.

She got to her feet, trying not to look at the gruesomely dead Fan Jian, but instead thanked Ye Xuan, "Thank you, savior."

Ye Xuan lifted his hand and responded, "Our acquaintance is but a fleeting encounter; I saved you merely because of the Water Spirit; I killed him simply because he needed to be killed."

Duan Rourou felt Ye Xuan’s words made a lot of sense, yet she disagreed.

Because Ye Xuan had saved her life, and it couldn’t just be repaid with a Water Spirit.

Grandfather always said, "A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude."

Thinking of this, Duan Rourou shook her head and said, "Savior, you are the savior of my life."

"Do you know how long you can live?" Ye Xuan posed an ambiguous question to Duan Rourou.

Duan Rourou shook her head, bewildered.

Ye Xuan’s mouth curved slightly, "Since you don’t know how long you’ll live, it’s better not to lightly talk about a lifetime."

Duan Rourou seemed to understand yet not quite.

"I’ll leave you with a piece of advice, your blood is very valuable, don’t show it carelessly, or it will surely bring disaster." Having said that, Ye Xuan took the initiative to leave.

Duan Rourou was left stunned.

When she came to her senses, Ye Xuan had already disappeared.

Duan Rourou was filled with regret.

She hadn’t even had the chance to ask for the name of her savior!

Moreover, the savior actually knew about her blood situation!

In the entire Sacred Land of Qinghong, only her grandfather knew about it.

Even the previous object of her affection, Fan Jian, had never mentioned it.

The savior actually knew about it!?

"I should head back to the Sacred Land," Duan Rourou thought to herself.
