"A crackling sound ensued!"
The stone walls on either side began to develop cracks with a sudden, violent tremor.
Then, an explosive rupture thundered from the passage behind, followed by a chorus of falling rocks.
For some reason, this underground ruin seemed on the brink of collapse and destruction.
Liu Ming wasted no time with thought; without a second word, his figure blurred as he shot towards the still-intact passage ahead.
A quarter of an hour later, a shadow flashed and burst from a fissure that had just appeared in the ground.
Finally, Liu Ming had left behind the grandiose underground ruins and returned to the surface, where, circling in mid-air, he immediately sped away without pause.
Barely half a teacup's time after Liu Ming's departure, the rumbling below the ruins became more frequent. A network of wide cracks appeared on the ground centered around the nearby mountain peak.
