After Chu Yang finished shouting loudly below, he immediately used sound transmission to say something to Rui Butong and Dong Wushang.
Subsequently, the ground above finally crashed down with a loud bang.
At the moment it fell, the three of them halted simultaneously, then suddenly lay back, kicking hard with their feet, the sword light shining brightly, and Chu Yang surprisingly lunged backward toward the back!
With a slight sound, Chu Yang had already slipped out, timing it perfectly.
The moment they drilled back in, there was a whoosh above, just as the various supremes flew past. Rui Butong and Dong Wushang quickly followed suit.
Without any hesitation, Chu Yang spun the sword tip and, amidst the swirling dust, drilled another hole in the ground just a few feet away from the entrance they had just emerged from, then burrowed back in the original forward direction, with Dong Wushang and Rui Butong understanding and quickly following in.
As soon as they got in, the spinning earth above fell silently and tightly sealed the entrance.
The three of them held their breath and skillfully compacted the soil on both sides, silently sliding forward.
Although their speed was reduced by many times, they made not a sound.
Above, there was a loud crash, and the entire wasteland trembled. The massive ground pressed down, causing the surrounding grass to be uprooted and lifted into the air.
The people above, rushing over, suddenly realized that they could not see any trace of the enemy and one person shouted, "We've fallen into a trap! They said they were moving forward, but in reality, they went backward!"
Immediately, everyone was filled with anger and hurried back to check, only to see a large hole pierced through the ground where the sword light had emerged.
Everyone was furious!
"You young ones! You're too much!"
One of the fifth-rank supremes stomped his foot angrily: "Chase!"
Everyone surged back the way they came.
However, after chasing for a thousand feet, they still found nothing.
Finally, someone suggested, "What if they're hiding in place?"
"Smack!"
The person who said this was met with a harsh slap: "What! Why didn’t you say it earlier!"
The man covered his face, feeling utterly wronged: I just thought of it…
But everyone had already turned around again, racing back to where they had just returned! When they reached the original spot, still no discovery.
The fifth-rank supreme was so angry his hair almost stood on end, shouting: "Turn the ground upside down, we have to find them! They can't escape. Search inch by inch!"
One person said, "Use spiritual perception!"
The two fifth-rank supremes simultaneously erupted in anger: "If spiritual perception was useful, would we need you to say that?" Seething with anger, the two were also puzzled.
Clearly, the enemy's cultivation level was lower than theirs. But how could they hide from their spiritual perception?
Unbeknownst to them, Chu Yang underground was fully unleashing his spiritual perception, enveloping himself and his companions! After devouring the spirit of the first generation Nine Calamity Sword Master, his spiritual perception had become the number one in the world! Even Ning Tianya might not have a stronger spiritual perception than him, so hiding from these people was truly effortless.
"Could it be that they're hiding right here, and once they leave, we’ll be safe?" Rui Butong said whimsically.
"You’re dreaming!" Dong Wushang said bluntly.
"They will find us sooner or later!" Chu Yang said lightly, his eyes revealing a sharp, cold light, speaking heavily: "Listen! When they find us, it will be the most dangerous moment. And our opportunity will be at the moment they unearth us!"
"At that time, Wushang, you must hold off the two first-rank supremes for a breath of time! Butong, the plan to provide cover remains unchanged! I will do my utmost to carve out a path to Eagle Beak Cliff! Everything goes according to plan!"
Chu Yang spoke in a low tone, even in a dire situation, his expression was one of unprecedented calm confidence: "You must believe, we can definitely survive!"
