The instant the three of them burst through the wall, they heard a tremendous BOOM from inside!
The sheer force of the blast sent them flying.
Guan Jing lay on the ground, taking a moment to recover.
"Wha-what was that thing??"
The words had barely left his lips when he suddenly realized something and blurted out,
"His true form?"
Just as he said that, the Hidden Guards came scrambling out right behind him.
BOOM!
The Snake-man village's barrier shattered. The entire mountain collapsed, and an immense, oppressive power washed over them, followed by a thick cloud of smoke that blotted out the sky.
Dark clouds roiled across the sky, looming as if they would crush the very ground below and creating a suffocating, oppressive sense of panic.
The black smoke was so thick it completely shrouded the village, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
Amid the roiling black smoke, a pale hand reached out from a corner, and a figure began to crawl out.
