Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Ba-dum!
"...Wh...at?" A soft, disbelieving voice slowly breathed out this single word.
PSH!
He Yanglei wrenched his hand out of Lian Yu's chest in one smooth, extremely practiced motion, revealing a gaping hole of rent flesh, broken bones, and dripping blood. He held the beating heart in front of him, eyeing it with a smile.
"It is really the Aquatic Dragonborn Heart," his voice was filled with amazement as he noticed the sapphire-colored veins twisting within the pale-pink heart that was drenched in crimson blood.
Lian Yu's eyes weren't wide, or popping, or trembling, or quaking, but steady and fixed on an extremely strange object held by a bloody hand before her. It pumped strangely in that hand as if struggling to live, like an animal begging for mercy.
