Han Yu's expression hardened. "What now?"
WHOOSH
He leaped onto a nearby boulder, trying to get a better view, but the ground convulsed suddenly, throwing him off balance. The earth below began to split open, forming jagged fissures that spread like lightning bolts across the landscape.
The air filled with the deep groaning of shifting stone.
KACHA
A loud crack erupted behind him, and Han Yu barely turned in time to see a massive tear open in the earth. It was nearly eight meters wide, running straight through where he had just been standing.
His eyes widened, and he shouted instinctively, "Fuck!" before jumping forward, channeling Qi into his legs.
He soared across the fissure in one powerful leap, landing hard on the other side.
THUD
The ground continued to quake beneath him, forcing him to keep moving. More cracks appeared, slicing through the hills like the jaws of some invisible beast trying to swallow the land whole.
