The forest resounded with a thunderous noise as countless stones of various sizes tumbled down the mountain, crashing into the lower areas.

Tall trees swayed violently, startling the crows and other birds into a gray, murky sky where they converged, densely packed, forming a dark mass, as though the end of days had arrived.

"Ah!" Tang Jing screamed as she swayed unsteadily on the trembling ground, thankfully holding on to the hands of Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Chao on either side of her, otherwise she would have certainly fallen and rolled down the mountain like the surrounding stones.

Tang Chao's body shook like a tiger's, his lifelong martial arts training allowing him to stand firm on the heaving ground like a stabilizing anchor; then, he forced out his Sword Qi to fend off and deflect the stones hurtling toward the trio.
