Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 15

Yan Hui looked around. However, all she saw was an enormous stone room. The surrounding cliff walls were encased in a thick layer of ice. The quakes and flips above didn't shake this place up one bit. This place was probably the heart of the magic array.

The ceiling of the enormous stone room was covered in sharp icicles. They seemed like they could fall at any time to pierce the surface of the tranquil lake. In the highest corner of the ceiling was a hole that was slowly expanding. Stone pieces continued to fall. It looked like Yan Hui fell from that hole.

Following the course of events, that dragon demon should also be here. However, aside from seeing rocks, why wasn't there anything else popping up and struggling?

Could it be that the dragon demon doesn't know how to swim and drowned in there?

Yan Hui was still pondering on that when a golden limit suddenly began to emit from within the lake.

The brilliant light overflowed the room to the point that the ice also shined a dazzling light. The magnificent sight even made Yan Hui, who had been cultivating for many years, forget to blink.

The golden light began to transform. Yan Hui could slowly see the outline of a dragon appearing in the lake, curled up at the bottom. It was like the dragon had been in stasis for one thousand years, waiting for this moment to awaken and resurrect.

Then not a moment later, the brilliant light reached its peak and suddenly vanished. Right before the golden light disappeared, Yan Hui got a good look at the "golden dragon" at the bottom of the lake. There indeed was a dragon down there. However, it was the pure white bones of a dragon!

There was no flesh remaining. Its mouth was opened wide, as if there were countless words it wanted to yell out. Its teeth were sharp, emanating a sinister feel that incited terror.

Yan Hui swallowed. There was no time to collect her thoughts before the brilliant light disappeared. The dragon bones also vanished along with it.

Suddenly, Yan Hui felt a tight force on her ankle! Her pupils constricted, and she was suddenly forcefully yanked down.

Yan Hui was caught off guard and fell backwards. The back of her head hit the ground hard. This made Yan Hui, who had already lost a lot of blood, become dizzy and confused for a period of time. When she finally slightly recovered, she discovered there was a person already laying on top of her.

With loose black hair that was sopping wet, the person looked like a vengeful spirit that had fled the lake.

Yan Hui was dumbstruck. She struggled to escape, but before she could do much, the person's right hand grabbed Yan Hui's wrist and pressed it onto the ground. His strength was frighteningly overwhelming.

And his other hand was aiming for her shoulder. However, whether it was because he was confused or anxious, he suddenly pressed down on her chest......

Soft flesh was ruthlessly pressed down upon.

Yan Hui wailed out in pain.

Fuck......

This strength was practically pressing a dent into her......

If this was really a life-sucking ghost lying on top of her, then Yan Hui was going to exorcise it. This was simply too much!

Yan Hui filled with fury. She bent her knee, drawing in all her strength, and shoved it against the crotch of the person laying on top of her. The person smothered a groan, yet he used all his strength to resist the pain. He didn't let up at all!

Yan Hui continued to struggle, but the strength she put into her struggles were laughable compared to the unyielding strength of the hands holding her down.
