Before he knew it, the signs of the Black Wind Calamity's arrival had become increasingly obvious.
Fang Qianyuan ran alone through the mountain forest, where fierce winds howled, and began to feel the terrifying atmosphere of an approaching apocalypse.
Everywhere, trees leaned and grass lay flattened.
Birds and beasts fled for their lives, darting past him in panic.
The threat of death spread swiftly between heaven and earth. All living creatures seemed to be fleeing the heart of the calamity. Only Fang Qianyuan pressed on alone against the wind, running instead toward the center of the raging storm.

He felt as though his heart was about to stop beating.
