Heart Protection (Back from the Brink)

CHAPTER 89

The fox fire lit up Qing Qiu's entire night sky and overpowered the moonlight. No one in the mountain's forest spoke, but the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

In midair, Qing Qiu's king coldly asked: "You are Su Ying?"

Su Ying looked up into the sky. The briliance surrounding the king was dazzling to the eyes, but Su Ying didn't blink. She just stared right at him: "And what if I am?"

With those five words, an enormous pressure heavily pressed down. Yan Hui already started cultivating again. However compared to everyone present, her cultivation level was really too weak. Immediately she felt a pressure in her chest but couldn't even let out a groan. Her legs felt weak. The intense pressure forced her directly down towards the ground.

Tian Yao transformed from his dragon form back into a human. He didn't hesitate to wrap Yan Hui in his arms and cover her ears with his hands. It gave her warmth while at the same time helped Yan Hui block a lot of the pressure.

In a flash, Su Ying's magic was suppressed. She immediately released an icy barrier to protect herself.

"You came alone to my Qing Qiu, yet you think you can escape unscathed?" The king's voice was chilly. "Reckless."

When Qing Qiu's king said those words, Tian Yao immediately clasped Yan Hui and leapt backwards into the cold spring. Before Yan Hui and Tian Yao completely sank into the water, a white light rushed out of the king's sleave and touched the ground. Just like a cool breeze sweeping the ground, the grass and bushes, everything, bent.

Su Ying's gaze became even frostier. Her barrier's light increased sharply and competed against the king's power. The enormous xian power and demon power met in attack. The resulting light was blinding, and it produced a loud rumbling sound. The vegetation was destroyed. In an instant, the vast forest was disintegrated and became an overgrown piece of land.

The strike of the two formidable magics was like the power of an earthquake.

After the light and rumbling, the surroundings once again fell silent. Su Ying stood in the middle of a pit of sunken ground. The earth and rocks were cracked. Su Ying stood ram-rod straight in the center like a thorn stabbing upwards. What changed was only that her lip colour had pale to a hard-to-conceal white.

"Since I dared to come, I've already thought of the consequences," said Su Ying. She moved her gaze to the cold spring where Yan Hui and Tian Yao hid. "No matter the consequences, I will never left off those two."

Saying that, the shore of the spring was suddenly covered in a layer of frost. Ice crystals formed in the water.

Tian Yao was protecting Yan Hui. It was difficult to avoid the knife-sharp crystals, and they were forced out of the water. However the moment they broke the water's surface, an enormous, earth-shattering xian power immediately rushed forward to sever Yan Hui's and Tian Yao's head.

As the power rushed over, from the side suddenly charged over two people. With a wave of their sleeves, Su Ying's icy killing magic was turned aside. Those two people were Qing Qiu's princes. They stood in front of Tian Yao and looked at Su Ying with a sneer: "Did you really think to trick Qing Qiu's people?"

Seeing the situations, Yan Hui, who was still in Tian Yao's arms, thought of Princess Yun Xi, whom Su Ying murdered. The princes and the king present probably hated Su Ying to their core. Tonight in a fit of impulsiveness, Su Ying would probably pay a bitter price........

However this thought was still forming in Yan Hui's mind when suddenly, a xian aura hurried over in the sky from a distance.

If it was anyone else, Yan Hui probably wouldn't be able to sense it. However, this xian aura was something Yan Hui couldn't be even more familiar to. Yan Hui, still in Tian Yao's arms, turned her head to look in that direction. Not a moment later, a xian cultivator, wearing white robes with wide slealves, arrived with the Propelling Sword technique. The cultivator landed by Su Ying's side.
