Before long, Liu Ming appeared above the river, glancing quickly below.
The river water here was a reddish color, as if it were entirely comprised of molten magma.
Without hesitation, Liu Ming formed a hand seal with one hand, and immediately a rolling black aura emerged from his body, while specks of golden light appeared from his sleeve, transforming into a layer of golden-yellow sand mist that enveloped him from within.
With a "swoosh,"
he plunged straight into the river like a stone.
Although the water beneath was exceedingly hot, he remained unharmed, protected by the sand shield's strength and the power of the Dragon Tiger Hell Technique.
He dived about ten fathoms deep to the riverbed, all the while concealing his aura to the utmost, even suppressing the magical fluctuations of the falling sand to the extreme.
Soon after, a rumbling sound came from above once more, growing closer by the moment.
"Hopefully, I can slip by unnoticed..." Liu Ming thought to himself.
