Chapter 180 - Seriously, What The Hell (1/2)

Elder Universe and Ni Yinghong looked at each other. They widened their eyes in disbelief when they looked at the fireball that slowly emerged in front of Ou Yangming.

“This, Master!” Ni Yinghong slowly inched closer to Elder Universe. It was not because she did not want to be close to Ou Yangming, but because the heatwave released by the fireball was slowly growing and her skin was starting to hurt due to its burning heat. As such, she was forced to stay away from Ou Yangming “Uh, huh, what?”

“Didn’t you say it’s impossible to maneuver natural energy during the first try?”

The old farmer instantly looked embarra.s.sed. He smiled bitterly and asked, “My clever apprentice, where did you find this freak?” Ni Yinghong quickly responded, “Master, he’s not a freak! He’s gifted!”

“Okay, he’s gifted. Ah, I have such a bitter life; I still have to be a babysitter…” The old farmer forced a smile, then he looked around and said, “Luckily, this fella’s still young, and he probably has insufficient mental power, or I won’t be able to guarantee my medicinal farm’s safe… Hey? Something’s wrong… What the h.e.l.l!”

Ni Yinghong was shocked, and she quickly looked at Ou Yangming.

A fist-sized fireball had appeared in front of Ou Yangming earlier. It was not huge, but the heatwave released was already unbearable for her.

Nonetheless, the fireball was expanding rapidly, at a speed visible to the naked eye. Its size had doubled after just a brief moment. The rich and violent aura that it contained frightened Ni Yinghong and the old farmer. “This young fella’s crazy. How dare he do this!” The old farmer widened his eyes and mumbled. He raised his palm intending to slap Ou Yangming, but he was hesitant and did not dare to do it in the end.

Nevertheless, the fireball seemed to have not expanded to its limit yet. As Ni Yinghong and Elder Universe watched anxiously, it expanded once more to the size of a watermelon.

When a person only had little mental power, although he or she could also absorb enormous amounts of energy from nature, there was a certain limit to it; when one released more mental power, the outcome would be unusually terrifying.

Once the mental power in the center became more powerful, one could absorb more external power too. Even though the fireball was only as big as a watermelon at the moment, Ni Yinghong and Elder Universe sensed intense danger.

The old farmer suddenly looked resolute, and he gave out a slight killing intent.

Ni Yinghong shouted as she sensed it right away, “Master!”

She was imploring him.

“Ah, one day, I’ll be killed by you—my unfilial apprentice!” The old farmer stomped his foot and remarked. He was complaining, but his killing intent had completely vanished.

Suddenly, Ou Yangming’s eyes wandered about as though something was happening. Along with the change to his body, the fireball, which was hanging in the air, vibrated slightly and appeared to be unstable.

The faces of Ni Yinghong and the old farmer changed at the same time.

“Throw it away…”

Ni Yinghong screamed at the top of her lungs without any hesitation.

Following that, Ou Yangming flicked his wrists as if he had heard Ni Yinghong, causing the fireball to fly into the sky.

In terms of size alone, the watermelon-sized fireball was far from the strong wind released by Elder Universe earlier, but its might was not inferior at all. It was actually superior to the wind.

“Boom…”

Roughly 10 meters away from the ground, the fireball slowed down and finally stopped as it lost kinetic energy. It exploded the instant it stopped.

A deafening explosion filled the air, followed by an intense and scorching heatwave that spread out in all directions like it was going to burn everything.

The old farmer straightened his body abruptly. There was a 180-degree change to his aura. He turned from an old man, who simply enjoyed life, into the invincible Mighty Miracle G.o.d.

He reached out his hands with his palms facing the sky, and roared, “s.h.i.+eld!”

Green lights were emitted from his palm at that instant. With him as the center, the lights formed a gigantic light s.h.i.+eld, which extended tens of meters away before it stopped.

Since the sparks from the explosion could not linger in the air for too long, they fell and hit the light s.h.i.+eld. Despite that, the light s.h.i.+eld had such a wonderful structure that it was not damaged at all when the sparks. .h.i.t it. Instead, the sparks only burned for a while before they distinguished.

That said, the area covered by the sparks from the explosion was too wide. Even when Elder Universe did his best, he could not block all of the sparks.

At last, some of the sparks fell to the ground outside of the light s.h.i.+eld.

Consequently, the sparks burned with rage. The fire burned everything on the ground, using those items as its fuel. Before long, the houses nearby began to burn and gave out smoke.

It was worth noting that the heat energies contained in the sparks could not be matched by normal flames. It was like fire from h.e.l.l, and could potentially burn everything in the world.

“Fire! Fire!”

Numerous people began yelling, and they dashed out from the houses one after another with various tools. They either retrieved water with wooden pails to extinguish the fire or tried to put out small flames with clothes.
