Chapter 3450: with translation of chapter title

Never would have thought that inside Jiang Yuhan's Sea of Consciousness there actually existed a treasure capable of resisting illusion techniques.

So Ye Liuyun immediately changed tactics, directly ordering the short sword to attack Jiang Yuhan. But his sixth-rank armor actually managed to block the short sword's attack, clearly not an ordinary item.

"You actually want to kill me? Have you considered that after killing me, can you still get out of this Xingqiu?" Seeing Ye Liuyun unable to do anything to him, Jiang Yuhan began probing with threats again.

Ye Liuyun gave a cold snort, directly drew the Demon Slaying Sword, and with one strike split his head.

"Useless! Your weapon can't break my armor!" Jiang Yuhan didn't dodge at all, merely swung his sword to block it.

His armor had a helmet, he thought Ye Liuyun's blade definitely couldn't cut through. Moreover, the long sword in his hand is also a fifth-rank Illusory Stage treasure.

Ye Liuyun then used Transmission Voice to stimulate the Demon Slaying Sword: "He actually looks down on you, saying you're useless! Whether it's a fifth- or sixth-rank treasure, just see if you can cleave it!"

The Demon Slaying Sword also gave a humming sound: "Trivial, watch me, I'll make him look good!"

Then with a swish, Jiang Yuhan's head was instantly sliced half off, his long sword and helmet both cut cleanly.

Jiang Yuhan never imagined even in death that Ye Liuyun truly intended to kill him, and do so so decisively. Had he known, he would have surrendered and admitted fault long ago.

Ye Liuyun immediately collected the Golden Crow Holy Fire, raised the Demon Slaying Sword and began slaughtering the remaining guards. He also released five golden dragons, encircling the remaining people, letting none escape.

Whether they surrendered or begged for mercy, Ye Liuyun killed each with a single slash, letting none go.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun collected all the resources from their Storage Rings, took the corpses to feed the ferocious beasts, then set them ablaze with a fire, leaving not a trace.

After Chen Yueying took the Healing Pill, her injuries improved considerably. She had only been shaken by the impact of Zhen Yuan Gong Ji, suffering no external wounds, as the gilded armor had blocked it all.

Ye Liuyun first collected the remaining six golden dragon Kuailei, and the three Kuailei that had been destroyed he did not waste, collecting them and giving them to Tong Xin and others to refine into metal material.

Then he also stripped Jiang Yuhan's armor off and threw it to Chen Yueying.

"From now on you should wear your armor on the outside; it'll be safer." He advised Chen Yueying.

Chen Yueying also recovered at this point and told Ye Liuyun the course of events.

It turned out that after Jiang Yuhan detected a disturbance here, he brought some guards over to investigate. They had long known there were blood foxes here and normally dared not come.

Upon inspection, they found the blood foxes' medicinal garden had been completely taken, leading them to guess someone had wiped out the blood foxes. Seeing Chen Yueying alone inside the Formation, they inferred she must have accomplices who had gone to hunt the blood foxes.

They planned to seize Chen Yueying then, and after Ye Liuyun returned, threaten him to hand over resources.

However, Chen Yueying was inside the Formation, so they dared not launch a strong attack; instead they pretended to be courteous while asking her about the situation, luring her out of the Formation, after which the several strongmen blocked her retreat.

"Oh!" Ye Liuyun merely gave a faint acknowledgment after hearing Chen Yueying's account, showing little reaction.

"Aren't you angry with me?" Chen Yueying also stopped being curious, Ye Liuyun actually didn't blame her for destroying three golden dragons, nor did he say she was too trusting of others.

"When you previously tried to save Yue Hengfeng, I knew you'd eventually suffer this loss! It's unavoidable. Suffering loss early is better than later. Others' advice is useless; you must personally suffer loss and be deceived for the lesson to sink in!"

"As for those three golden dragons, they're just a few Kuailei. The resources these people have are enough to compensate, so I won't give you a share." Ye Liuyun said offhandedly, not taking it to heart.

"What about this set of armor then?" Chen Yueying pointed at the armor Ye Liuyun had just thrown to her and said.

Ye Liuyun didn't care about that armor either, instead handing over that drop of blood fox essence blood to Chen Yueying, that small blood-colored

Pearl, he also showed it to Chen Yueying.

"These two are truly valuable treasures. Have you refined this essence blood? I'll refine this blood-colored pearl myself. The other cultivation resources of the blood fox ancestor will count as offset for that armor, so I won't give you a share!"

"You're surprisingly calm, dividing things so clearly. If you hadn't returned just in time, I might have died here!"

"This life-saving grace, I still need to thank you! Otherwise this essence blood, you refine it yourself!"

Chen Yueying knew Ye Liuyun was looking out for her, and didn't want to take so many of his resources.

She originally did nothing, and because she made a mistake that ruined Ye Liuyun's three golden dragon Kuailei, she already felt guilty enough, feeling embarrassed to ask for more of his things.

"Have you refined it? Otherwise your strength is too weak, and you won't be able to complete missions with me from now on!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, also not taking that essence blood. He also knew he had given Chen Yueying quite a bit, but he could obtain these resources only because Chen Yueying brought him on missions; he too should know gratitude, giving her a bit more is no problem.

Moreover, Chen Yueying treats him quite well; even as a friend, he would not neglect her.

"Well then, I'll thank you!" Chen Yueying then put away that essence blood first, and then complained to Ye Liuyun about those people of Jiang Yuhan.

"Let's leave this place first, lest dragging it out brings a garrison to search us!"

Ye Liuyun didn't mind her complaints either. He's seen this sort of thing often, long since grown accustomed. As for how much lesson Chen Yueying can draw from it, that's her own affair; him saying more would be useless.

"Alright! You seem indifferent to this!" Chen Yueying immediately agreed, released the Flying Boat, and directly left this Xingqiu with Ye Liuyun.

"For me, this has long been habitual. Haven't I told you that helping others also requires that wisdom and strength?"

"Answering others' inquiries is also helping people. You could just answer inside the Formation; why must you go out? You clearly can't beat them, yet you insist on delivering yourself to their door—then don't blame them for attacking you." Ye Liuyun said plainly.

"Sigh! You're experienced after all! I'm just too prone to trusting people!" Chen Yueying sighed emotionally.

Ye Liuyun, however, solemnly told her: "You can have no harmful intent, but you must never lack a guard against others! In a martial world where everything is about strength, believing everyone you meet is foolish—it's self-destruction!"

"Those who court death may be saved once or twice by others, but there will always be times when help comes too late. I hope you can absorb sufficient lessons, so you don't make the same mistake twice!"

Chen Yueying nodded, also pondering Ye Liuyun's words and the lessons from this incident.
