My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 844 - 845: Escape from Death

Ye Wudao created the Sea Treading Dragon Step himself and was in a great mood. Looking at the dozens of blood sharks floating belly-up on the water, he immediately grabbed a shark tooth, preparing to carve open a shark’s heart to extract the shark liver that the old rogue wanted!

Just then, a massive red shadow slowly approached Ye Wudao. A gigantic shark fin reflected a metallic sheen under the sunlight.

Little Tower saw this and couldn’t help shouting, "M-Master, danger!"

Danger?

Ye Wudao was busy carving shark meat. When he swung his head around to look, it turned out to be a massive blood shark nearly a hundred meters long, covered in blood-red patterns, carrying an aura of terror—it was the Blood Shark King at the peak of the True Pill realm!

"Holy crap, that’s a huge shark!" Ye Wudao’s jaw dropped.

"M-Master, that’s the legendary Blood Shark King! It’s at the peak of the True Pill realm and holds terrifying strength equivalent to the Transformation Spirit realm under the sea. You stand no chance—run away immediately!" Little Tower shouted anxiously.

"What? The Blood Shark King was supposed to be at the late stage of the True Pill realm, wasn’t it? Damn, that old rogue must’ve lied to me!" Ye Wudao’s face turned ashen with fury.

If the Blood Shark King were only at the late stage of the True Pill realm, he might have considered giving it a shot!

But facing a Blood Shark King at the peak of the True Pill realm, Ye Wudao didn’t have even the slightest thought of confrontation!

Are you kidding me?!

Even at his full strength, there’d be no way he could defeat this Blood Shark King!

Especially now that his cultivation was sealed!

Encountering such a ferocious sea beast in the ocean—

Absolute death!

Run!

The farther away, the better!

Ye Wudao had just prepared to flee but found the Blood Shark King already blocking his path.

"Human, what are you doing here?" The Blood Shark King floated on the water, its lantern-like red eyes blazing with fury.

"Ahem, Brother Blood Shark King, I got lost—just passing through your territory..." Ye Wudao forced a sheepish smile, clasping his fists in submission.

"Lost? Heh, lost and yet you’ve massacred so many of my descendants and kin?" The Blood Shark King glanced at the dozen or so blood shark corpses floating on the sea surface, its gaze filled with malice.

"I don’t understand what you mean..." Ye Wudao feigned ignorance, pretending not to know anything.

"The shark tooth in your hand is the very weapon that slaughtered my kin!" The Blood Shark King’s fiery gaze locked onto the shark tooth in Ye Wudao’s grip.

"Ah, these blood sharks just kept ramming themselves onto the shark tooth in my hand—Brother Blood Shark King, it’s all a misunderstanding!" Ye Wudao explained.

"Human brat, such glib lies! Watch as I kill you and tear you into pieces!" The Blood Shark King erupted with rage, launching a violent attack toward Ye Wudao!

Run!

Ye Wudao fled at lightning speed!

But the Blood Shark King’s speed was terrifying. Its body, like a small mountain, slammed straight into Ye Wudao.

"Ah!" Ye Wudao let out a miserable scream, his body flying backward like a bullet, landing heavily hundreds of meters away.

"Master, are you okay?" Little Tower asked nervously.

"Cough, that collision from the Blood Shark King nearly made me vomit up the food I ate three days ago!" Ignoring the pain that wracked his body, Ye Wudao madly swam toward home.

"Still trying to run?" The Blood Shark King sneered. In the water, its speed was as swift as lightning, reaching the level of the Transformation Spirit realm as it chased Ye Wudao, wielding its formidable shark tail.

The shark tail, like a gigantic hand, struck Ye Wudao fiercely!

"Ah!" Ye Wudao screamed again, his body once more flying a hundred meters away, spitting blood.

The impact caused Ye Wudao’s entire skeleton to feel like it was falling apart; six or seven ribs fractured directly!

"Huh? This human brat can actually withstand such blows?" The Blood Shark King stared in astonishment. After all, as the sovereign of the seas, a tail strike from him would be unbearable even for a Transformation Spirit realm cultivator!

Ye Wudao had no time to think about this. The only thought in his mind was to escape!

Seeing Ye Wudao attempting to flee, the Blood Shark King grinned maliciously: "Brat, I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to torment you slowly, make you beg for death but deny you the release!"

With that, the Blood Shark King dove again, moving through the water like a streak of lightning!

"Holy crap, still chasing me?" Ye Wudao was shocked and furious but, outmatched, could only flee desperately!

"It’s no use, Master. The Blood Shark King’s speed is too fast!" Little Tower was frantic.

Ye Wudao turned his head, watching as the Blood Shark King closed the distance!

A hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

Thirty meters!

Ten meters!

Ye Wudao could already feel the horrifying killing intent from the Blood Shark King behind him.

"No way to escape!" Ye Wudao smiled bitterly, on the verge of giving up—when suddenly, the image of using the Sea Treading Dragon Step flashed through his mind!

"Wait, I can use the Sea Treading Dragon Step to escape!"

With that thought, Ye Wudao immediately activated the Sea Treading Dragon Step!

Zoom!

Ye Wudao’s speed instantly increased severalfold. His figure became a blur, even making the Blood Shark King miss!

"Damn it, how did this brat suddenly get so fast? Even evading my attack?!" The Blood Shark King was stunned, then sneered coldly: "Hmph, in the ocean, there are barely any faster than me!"

As those words fell, the Blood Shark King continued its pursuit of Ye Wudao!

"Master, faster! Hurry! The Blood Shark King is catching up again!" Little Tower shouted.

Ye Wudao’s legs churned on the water, moving so fast they seemed to smoke, like wheels of fire, endlessly speeding away—a streak of shadow!

Bang!

The Blood Shark King’s attack missed again!

This time, the Blood Shark King erupted in fury, its rage palpable: "Human brat, let me show you the true power of my strength!"

With that, the Blood Shark King opened its massive jaws and unleashed a blast of red force!

Not good!

Ye Wudao sensed the incoming danger but was too late to dodge!

"Master, move! That attack could end your life!" Little Tower screamed in panic.

Ye Wudao fully understood the terror of the Blood Shark King’s strike!

In moments of desperation, people often unleash their limits!

In his moment of despair, Ye Wudao displayed the ultimate survival instinct!

"Sea Treading Dragon Step, Second Level!"

At the brink of life and death, Ye Wudao actually broke through to the second level of the Sea Treading Dragon Step. With one stride, his speed shot up like lightning!

Boom!

A massive explosion reverberated as Ye Wudao’s previous position erupted in a blast, killing countless fish and shrimp!

"Argh, damn human brat! He escaped again!" The Blood Shark King roared in frustration. To think the sovereign of the sea couldn’t catch a mere human in its element!

Humiliation!

A massive disgrace!

Thinking this, the Blood Shark King unleashed its full strength in pursuit!

Suddenly, a lonely island appeared in the Blood Shark King’s view, faint wisps of killing intent drifting from the island!

Spotting the island, the Blood Shark King halted instantly as if slamming the brakes, its pupils constricting: "The killing intent on this island is horrifying. I can’t approach it—I’ll die!"

Watching Ye Wudao grow farther away, the Blood Shark King gritted its teeth: "Lucky brat, you got away this time! Next time, I won’t spare you!"

As for Ye Wudao, he couldn’t care less about any of this. He continued frantically pushing the Sea Treading Dragon Step to escape!

After who knows how long, Ye Wudao finally spotted a familiar island in the distance.

"Master, Master, we’ve made it!" Little Tower’s excited voice rang out.

Ye Wudao, exhausted and drained, reached his physical limits.

With a loud "Thud," Ye Wudao collapsed onto the beach and passed out cold!

Unbeknownst to him, danger was quietly approaching!
