Chapter 202 Eliminate The Enemy With A Fireball
The big multicolored tiger instantly slowed down.
Both the tiger and the snake looked nervous because it was their first time being in such a situation.
Not only did the big tiger slow down, but its power declined right away too, as if its limbs were weak.
He Liangce whistled and grabbed the spear with both hands, then he tugged it back to attempt pulling it out from the snake"s coil.
On the other hand, the big tiger kept roaring. As such, the snake did not relax at all, and it coiled the spear even tighter.
The tiger had witnessed the spear"s sharpness, which could not be resisted by its tough metal skin at all. If its body was stabbed again, only G.o.d knew what damage would be caused.
Previously, the big multicolored tiger would not have cared even if the two little insects had spears; it was still full of vigor. Besides, the tiger"s claws and the snake tail it had were not decorations, and it possessed absolute speed. With that, even if the big tiger was being restrained, it was still capable of blocking the spear handle. Nonetheless, the big tiger"s body had somehow become slow and weary. Under this state, if its opponent withdrew the spear and stabbed it continuously, it dared not guarantee that it would be safe.
Therefore, the big multicolored tiger crouched and spared no effort in using the snake tail to coil the spear. No matter how hard He Liangce tried, the spear did not move an inch away from it.
After twenty breaths, the big tiger was surprised and overjoyed.
It felt its lost power being recovered slowly, and its weariness was starting to disappear. As long as the tiger was given more time, it could return to its peak condition. Therefore, it was in high spirits again and its eyes were full of killing intent.
Once the unexplainable magic art disappeared, the tiger was certain it could kill the two little insects.
Nevertheless, it was then that the big tiger felt ill at ease. While its snake tail was wrestling with the spear, it turned to look in another direction.
A big tree stood over there, but an incomprehensible power seemed to be gathering behind it. Besides, the power was getting stronger and that the tiger"s furs were standing on their ends.
The big multicolored tiger widened its eyes, but it instantly noticed that the pulling force on its snake tail was growing stronger.
After a moment of hesitation, the tiger decided to wait for its power to recover until it could s.n.a.t.c.h the threatening weapon, then it would devour the despicable little insect.
He Liangce crouched and leaned back. The veins on his forehead bulged, and a grim look could be seen on his face.
The elegance that he was born with had been cast away long ago. The young master grimaced as he pulled the spear, and his body surged with essential Qi while he howled in grief, “Ou Yangming, faster… Faster! I can"t hold it any longer!” Although He Liangce was a Yang Grade powerhouse and had the help of a talisman, he was inferior to the half-spirit beast, who was born with endless power.
Seeing as he was almost out of energy, He Liangce gritted his teeth and was about to perform a secret technique to activate his blood and essence.
However, he noticed through the corner of his eye a flash of a figure at that instant, and he heard Ou Yangming shout, “Back away now…”
Without any delay, He Liangce abandoned the spear. He exerted force on the tip of his toes to stimulate his mightiest potential, then he fled in the opposite direction at the fastest speed he had achieved since he was born.
Just as He Liangce took a few steps away, he sensed a burning force that brushed past its body and hit the big multicolored tiger.
After Ou Yangming pa.s.sed his spear to He Liangce, he flashed to hide behind a big tree.
He never considered how He Liangce would stall the big tiger for thirty breaths. Even though they only exchanged one sentence each, they decided to trust each other.
Since He Liangce said he could keep the tiger still for thirty breaths, he could definitely do
it.
Ou Yangming also said he could take out the beast, so he would certainly need to do it.
Behind the big tree, Ou Yangming focused his mind on the spot between his eyebrows.
“Woosh, woosh…”
An enormous change, which was like monstrous waves, took place in the place that could not be sensed by outsiders. Through Ou Yangming"s guide and adjustments, the surging mental power charged out endlessly to the outside world in the swiftest and the most violent way.
This was the usage of mental power, and Ou Yangming had once released it after he received pointers from Elder Universe.
While mental power could give out unmatched forceful might the instant Heaven and Earth"s forces were collected, there was an innate restriction to it.
During the moment of release, the process of gathering Heaven and Earth"s forces must not be disturbed.
Ou Yangming did not lack strength yet, but he was almost at that stage.
Ordinary people could not really hurt Ou Yangming because of his Fine Grade equipment set, but if the big multicolored tiger slapped him, he would be on the brink of death even if he did not die immediately.
This was because the damage was not only inflicted on his body, but also on his mental power where he would suffer a backlash.
Due to the big tiger"s threat, Ou Yangming decided to employ his mental power. He was entrusting his life to his comrade.
Ou Yangming believed that his partner could stall the big multicolored tiger for thirty breaths, which was why he could fully focus and gave his all to brew the ultimate killing skill.
Hints of mental power drifted in the void, and with the help of the Military Fire"s unique property, endless energy of the fire mastery was attracted from the void.
A small fireball suddenly appeared between Ou Yangming hands, and it was visibly enlarging at the speed of light. “This isn"t enough—stronger. This isn"t enough-stronger!” Ou Yangming estimated the half-spirit beast"s might while his mental power gushed continuously into the fireball and attracted more energy.
Everything seemed very slow, but he had actually completed the process in twenty breaths.
By then, the mental power in the fireball had already achieved a third of Ou Yangming"s consciousness. He had a feeling that this was already his achievable limit, so if he continued to channel more power, the only outcome would be the fireball"s explosion.
When Ou Yangming first released his mental power to draw the fireball, he did not control it very well, but during his second try, he had a little more energy to recognize the situation.
He flashed and dashed out from behind the big tree.
In the fight, He Liangce did not disappoint him; the young master had kept the big multicolored tiger on the same spot. Ou Yangming could not figure out how He Liangce did it, but he yelled, “Back away now!”
Instead of keeping his consciousness inside, he quickly released it to merge with his surroundings.
With the integration of Heaven and man, as well as the thoroughly meticulous state, even the slightest change in this area would be picked up by Ou Yangming. Moreover, he was also constantly calculating in his head.
He Liangce flew back as fast as he could.
The moment he was past the crucial point, Ou Yangming swung his hand hard to launch the nearly uncontrollable fireball.
“Woosh…”
The fireball was exceptionally fast, its speed could not be put into words. It was even more horrifying that the fireball seemed to have been controlled by an unseen power, hence the big multicolored tiger could not evade it no matter how it tried to hide.
With that, the tiger and the snake were subconsciously petrified.
For some reason, they were appalled by the fireball that came out of nowhere, but just as the half-spirit beast wanted to dodge it, an inexpressible pressure suppressed it first. The fireball contained an enormous amount of energy, and the mental power that it released was threatening and harmful.
Next, the fireball finally hit the beast.
Ou Yangming had aimed at the big multicolored tiger"s head and neck. A deafening explosion was heard as the fireball exploded, causing the big tiger"s neck to be blown off of its body. Consequently, the tiger"s head soared into the sky while the bottom of its neck was burnt.
Countless sparks of fire filled the air, and they lit up fallen leaves and dry branches on the ground when they fell. If the sparks fell to the trees around them, they burnt the trees in huge flames.
The fire did not seem like it was from the mortal world-it was a destructive fire that could wipe out everything.
He Liangce"s face took on a ghastly expression. He shifted his body repeatedly to avoid the sparks like a ghost.
That said, he noticed a figure through the corner of his eyes.
Ou Yangming was running everywhere in a flash. His speed was tip-top, and wherever he went, the flames around him became attracted to his body like iron filings being attracted by a magnet.
After running one whole round, all the flames disappeared.
As He Liangce quietly watched the burnt environment and the big multicolored tiger"s carca.s.s, there was an obscure look in his eyes.
"I didn"t expect Ou Yangming to have such a trump card. He needed a long time to prepare it, but… If he used this against it? Can he succeed in one swoop?" When Ou Yangming noticed He Liangce being deep in thoughts, he flashed a proud smile. "So what if you"re a Yang Grade martial artist? I was the one who did the final ultimate kill."
He kicked with the tip of his toe and grabbed his spear, which was the only treasure that did not fear the burst of fire.
Ou Yangming walked with confidence toward the big multicolored tiger"s carca.s.s.
At the spur of the moment, He Liangce screamed as he recalled something, “Be careful!”
Before his voice had died away, a flash of black light was seen on the big tiger"s carca.s.s, where the snakehead suddenly sprung up to bite Ou Yangming.
Despite that, the young fellow seemed to be well-prepared; he prodded his spear at the creature.
If the big multicolored tiger was still alive, the agile snake could still resist its energy. Since the tiger had died, the snake could not turn around freely anymore, and its power had also greatly declined.
Ou Yangming jabbed the spear tip at a point that was 7 inches below the snakehead.
The tough magic tool pierced through the venomous snake mercilessly and pinned it to the ground.
Even as the venomous snake twisted its body, it could not break free from the tiger"s body, and it finally stopped moving after some time.
