"Die!"
Zhang Fei stamped his foot, and the earth instantly split open!
[Earth: Rift Gorge Devour]!
An enormous rift hundreds of meters deep extended from beneath Zhang Fei's feet, heading straight for Ryokugyu! Scalding magma gushed from the rift, forming a massive wall of magma that completely sealed off Ryokugyu's retreat!

The scarlet slashing wave slammed into the vine barrier!
