The red phoenix spread its wings, let out a clear bird cry, and pounced towards Han Changming with a huge heat wave.
The rolling heat wave hit him in the face. Han Changming did not dare to hold back any longer. He pinched his fingers and a dazzling yellow light appeared on his body surface, then disappeared into the ground.
There was a loud "hissing" sound of breaking through the air, and countless yellow gravels flew up and turned into hundreds of yellow sand blades about a foot long, rushing towards the red phoenix.
There was a dull sound of metal clashing, and the yellow sand blade failed to hurt the red phoenix. The red phoenix's body was like a solid wall of iron and steel, invulnerable to swords and spears.
The red phoenix was blocked by the yellow sand blade and its speed slowed down.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Han Changming's body emitted a bright yellow light and he drilled into the ground.
Everything has its pros and cons. The secret technique performed by the young woman in the red dress is quite powerful, but it must have flaws. With her cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, she will definitely not be able to persist for too long.
If there were no restrictions, the Huoyun Sect's foundation-building cultivators would have performed this secret technique long ago.
Han Changming couldn't fight head-on, so he could only give in. If he couldn't win, he could always hide!
The red phoenix saw Han Changming disappear into the ground, opened its mouth and spewed out a red flame as thick as a fist, hitting the ground.
Boom!
A huge roar was heard, and red flames spread rapidly, with heat waves rolling.
After failing in the first attack, the Scarlet Luan Bird planned to attack the Amethyst Flying Scorpion, but the Amethyst Flying Scorpion had already followed Han Changming into the ground.
A mound of earth moved quickly underground. Wherever the mound passed, the soil turned into quicksand. Soon, a huge sand pit appeared in front of everyone, covering hundreds of feet.
Han Changming would naturally not be stupid enough to fight the opponent head-on, as he played to his strengths and avoided his weaknesses. He had the Spirit Gathering Stone in his hand, and his mana recovery speed was much faster than that of his opponent.
Seeing this, the red phoenix spread its wings, flames rose rapidly, and it opened its mouth and spewed out a large red flame, which hit the huge sand pit.
Boom!
A large area of red flames spread rapidly, and heat waves rolled.
Soon, the entire sand pit was covered in red flames, with flames shooting into the sky.
Han Daobin and other Han family cultivators saw this scene, their eyes filled with worry.
The red phoenix flapped its wings, and dozens of red fireballs flew out and hit the sand pit, causing the flames to rise sharply.
Han Changming hid more than ten feet underground, not daring to show his head. His body was covered by a yellow light curtain.
The red phoenix kept attacking the sand pit, the roar continued, the heat waves were overwhelming, but Han Changming did not show up.
If it was on the sea, Han Changming would definitely not be able to hide, but on land, it would be different.
Half a quarter of an hour later, the flames dissipated, the sand pit disappeared, and a huge pit hundreds of feet in size appeared on the ground, with hot steam rising from the pit.
A red light flashed, and the red phoenix regained its human form, revealing the figure of a young woman in a red dress.
Her face was pale, and she looked as if she had exhausted too much magical power.
She took out a talisman that glowed with yellow light and threw it towards the huge pit below.
The Mountain-Shaking Talisman is a second-level, mid-grade talisman that is specifically designed to target earth escape techniques.
The Mountain-Shaking Talisman turned into a yellow light and disappeared into the huge pit.
Boom!
There was a deafening roar, and the ground shook violently as if it was about to crack.
Ten or so feet underground, Han Changming was holding the spirit gathering stone in his right hand, with a yellow light curtain covering his body.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure came from all directions, and the yellow light curtain was squeezed and deformed, as if it would collapse at any time.
Han Changming's face changed, and the magic power in his body was madly injected into the yellow light curtain. The yellow light curtain glowed brighter and slowly returned to its original shape. However, not long after, the yellow light curtain deformed again and could be crushed at any time.
Han Changming broke out in a cold sweat. He knew very well that the opponent must have used an earth-attributed attack talisman.
If the protective spiritual shield is broken, Han Changming will definitely be crushed into a meat patty by the mud. The earth escape technique also has its nemesis.
The magic power in his body was madly injected into the yellow light curtain. At the same time, he frantically absorbed the spiritual energy in the spirit gathering stone to restore his magic power.
Even so, the yellow light curtain still sank, and a powerful pressure came from all directions, and the surrounding soil seemed to want to crush Han Changming's body.
Han Changming felt that he was short of breath and his face turned red. While injecting magic power into the yellow light curtain, he fled into the underground.
Generally speaking, due to the limitation of their magic power, foundation-building cultivators can only escape underground for a few hundred feet at most. If they escape too deep, they may easily run into danger.
Han Changming felt that he could not hold on for too long if he continued to stay where he was. The deeper he dived into the ground, the less pressure he would feel. After all, it was a second-level talisman. If it was a third-level talisman, Han Changming would have died long ago. The attack range of a second-level talisman would not be too far.
After diving a hundred feet, Han Changming felt that the pressure was not so great, but the soil around him became softer and the temperature was slowly rising.
The ground, the young woman in the red dress was standing on the ground, there were more than a dozen long cracks on the ground, the ground was cracked.
Han Changming was never seen alive, nor was his body found after his death, so it was difficult to determine who won or lost.
The young woman in the red dress has no magic power at the moment, and is no different from an ordinary person. This is the aftereffect of Tianyan's Illusionary Spirit Technique.
"I guess I win!"
The young woman in the red dress spoke.
Lu Yang frowned slightly and said, "At least we need to see Han Xiaoyou's body! You two go down and look for Han Xiaoyou."
Han Daobin and Han Deling agreed and used the earth escape technique to escape underground.
A quarter of an hour later, they returned to the ground, their faces full of disappointment.
Their magic power was not enough to go too deep, and they did not find Han Changming's body.
"Since we can't find the body, it's likely that he died deep underground. We, the Huoyun Sect, win."
Ye Yan said that diving underground could help them avoid the attack of the Mountain-Shaking Talisman, but in this way, they would most likely not be able to return to the ground. The deeper they went underground, the more mana they would consume.
"That's not necessarily true. I'll send a few more people to look for it."
Just then, there was a muffled sound from the ground and a mound of earth suddenly appeared.
Boom!
Han Changming crawled out from the ground, his face pale and he looked as if he had exhausted too much of his magic power.
Of course he was pretending. He had less than 30% of his magic power left. He had been hiding underground for so long, and the young woman in red dress should have exhausted her magic power.
Han Changming looked at the young woman in the red dress and found that her face was pale and the giant red eagle had also returned to its original form. The young woman in the red dress had obviously exhausted her magic power and could not even maintain the transformation of her magic weapon.
He made a pinch of his magic formula, and the Qiantu Zhenyang Sand spun around, transforming into hundreds of red flying knives, which slashed towards the young woman in the red dress with great momentum.
The young woman in the red dress turned pale. She had no magic power at this moment and could not block Han Changming's attack at all.
At this moment, Ye Yan's figure flashed and he suddenly appeared beside the young woman in the red dress. He shook his sleeves, a strong wind blew, and hundreds of red flying knives flew backwards.
"In this competition, we, the Huoyun Sect, admit defeat."
There were not many foundation-building cultivators in Huoyun Sect to begin with, and the defeat of the young woman in red dress was certain, so Ye Yan would naturally not stand idly by.
Lu Yang smiled slightly and said, "In that case, my friend Han, stop it! You win."
Han Changming heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. The young woman in the red dress knew this secret technique. If he killed her in public, Ye Yan might not care about it now, but that didn't mean he wouldn't care about it in the future.
Having said that, the Spirit Gathering Stone played a very important role in Han Changming's victory this time.
"Changming, are you okay?"
Han Daobin walked over and said with concern.
"Uncle Daobin, I'm fine. Fortunately, I brought two bottles of Huiling Pills, otherwise I might not be able to return to the ground. Unfortunately, my Earth Spirit Shuttle is damaged."
Han Changming said with a wry smile, trying to find excuses for himself.
