Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 67

"Can you go in it?"

Suddenly, the boiling lava lake spewed out a blaze reaching the roof of the cavern. It was like it was underlining Yan Hui's uncertainty. The blaze melted the rock of the ceiling, turning it into lava which fell down into the lake along with the blaze.

Although they prepared early on, Yan Hui was still became apprehensive at that sight: "It's too hot." She frowned. "I'm already using a lot of magic to protect my body from the heat. I don't have enough leftover to enter the lava."

"I'll get the dragon tendons myself." Tian Yao's red eyes shined even brighter. "First, we need to get the heavenly jian and break the Sky-Splitting Seal."

Tian Yao stared at the center of the domed ceiling.

Yan Hui followed Tian Yao's line of sight........although the lava lake would periodically spew a column of fire, that spot had a continuous flame column that never ceased.

Earlier, the smoke and steam blurred her vision. Only now did she take a close look and see in the flame column was the Heavenly Jian! It glowed red like molten gold.

That was the first jian in the world.........

Yan Hui was still stunned when a heatwave suddenly rushed over. It was aimed right at her neck.

Tian Yao narrowed his eyes. He reacted extremely quickly and pushed Yan Hui aside. She stumbled. The next thing she heard was a "thump" as the heat blast hit the wall right behind where she was previously standing. There was a glowing crack where the heatwave hit the wall.

Yan Hui looked back and felt more fearful. If it wasn't for Tian Yao's push, her head might be on the floor or more likely.........exploded into mist.

This place was truly treacherous!

At once, Yan Hui gathered her magic and didn't dare to wander around.

"It discovered there's people."

"Who?" Yan Hui asked. "The Heavenly Jian?"

Tian Yao didn't have time to reply when another heatwave came streaking over. Tian Yao pulled Yan Hui down to the ground. The heatwave once again heavily struck the wall behind Yan Hui. A long cracked formed and melted rock dripped from it. The red lava dripped to the ground.

This second time was much hotter than the first!

And this time, Yan Hui didn't get the chance to see what happened to the wall behind her. When Yan Hui was yanked down to the ground, she didn't have time to put a protection technique around it. She just heard a sizzling sound when her palm touched the ground, and she smelled her own flesh cooking......!

"What messed up place is this!" She hurriedly got back up and tightly wrapped her entire body in the protection technique.

But in contrast, Tian Yao, who had already gotten back his dragon bones and horns and had time to adjust and cultivate, didn't seem affected by the heat at all. It was to the point that it seemed like he even enjoyed it.

After all, his body..........had been cold for far too long.

Suddenly, something unknown happened. The color of the lava started to darken. The flames that used to spurt out ceased.

Tian Yao focused: "They managed to control the spell outside. Let's get this done fast." With that, he took the lead and leapt over the quiet lava lake that still vented boiling boil. He aimed straight for the jian that was in the middle of the lake.

Yan Hui frowned and followed after him. When she landed next to Tian Yao, she saw the ground where the Heavenly Jian was located was actually an island surrounded by lava. The jian was stabbed in the ground. Who knows how long it been guarding this place.
