Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 45

The screen disintegrated all over the floor. Tian Yao stood only one step away in front of the dragon horns. From the beginning, he was always in the dark. Su Ying's words wouldn't leave his head: "With your horns, look harder. Quickly go find the rest of your body parts. Then......"

Heart protection scale. She still wanted his heart protection scale. She still hadn't given up......Tian Yao's eyes were like snow. His hands balled up into fists.

At this moment, suddenly there was a loud sound from outside. Like a ball, Yan Hui was slammed in to the room, hitting Tian Yao's back. He staggered. Yan Hui rolled to the side. She didn't even have time to make a sound of pain. Yan Hui flipped on the spot, braced herself with her leg, and rushed back out.

In a split second, Yan Hui formed a hand seal and flipped on to the back of the Blue Luan Bird that had also followed her into the room. She grabbed onto the base of its wings. Regardless of how much the Blue Luan Bird flapped its wings and jumped around, it couldn't shake Yan Hui off its back.

Yan Hui finally got settled on the bird and was able to look at Tian Yao who was slowly getting back up. Her temper immediately flared up: "Who are you pretending to be?! Some scholar contemplating some lame story?! The dragon horns are right in front of you! Go for it! Head down and charge!
What are you standing there for?! Waiting for flowers to bloom?"

Tian Yao had been hit by Yan Hui pretty hard. He coughed twice but was snapped back to focus by Yan Hui's venting.

It didn't matter if Su Ying purposely left the dragon horns for him. It didn't even matter what plans and schemes Su Ying had next. Tian Yao had to take those horns.

They were originally part of him. They originally belonged to him. If he were to face off against Su Ying's schemes, then he had to rely on his horns. He had to take back all of him which were sealed away. Not one piece could be missing.

Tian Yao reached out his hand. His fingertips touched the tip of the floating horns.

For a brief moment, a brief warmth starting from his fingertips spread through his veins. It flowed into his heart.

The dragon horns were shuddering.

Finally returned. They were finally part of him.

Tian Yao reached out both hands. One hand touched a horn. Although he had no magic, gold light emitted from his palm. For a moment, the room was filled with spirituality. Even Yan Hui, who was fiercely battling with the Blue Luan Bird, sensed it.

Aside from the sudden abundance of spirituality, Yan Hui also sense a slight warmth. It was like a small flame lit in her chest.

Suddenly, Yan Hui felt strength fill her limbs and enter her bones. The Blue Luan Bird was still unceasingly struggling under her. Yan Hui gritted her teeth and forcefully grabbed the base of its wings. A hoarse yell was heard.

Cracking and tearing sounds were heard. The Blue Luan Bird's wings were ripped off by Yan Hui. However blood didn't spill. The ripped-off wings turned into visible and colorful spirituality. They glimmered and slowly drifted to Tian Yao's side.

The dragon horns were no longer in visible in Tian Yao's hands. However, golden light could be seen revolving around him. The Blue Luan Bird's colorful spirituality floated around his body. It was like the spirituality had been attracted over and now revolved around Tian Yao's body. It slowly gathered toward the top of his head.

When Yan Hui ripped off the bird's wings, she also ripped off what allowed her to grasp onto the bird. She leapt off and fell to the side. There was no need to fight anymore. Most of the Blue Luan Bird's strength was lost when its wings were ripped off. It merely stretched out its neck and cried out twice in its death struggle before falling motionless to the ground.
