Chapter 278 The Blast
"Empty."
Seeing the woman turn into flames and rush towards him, dragging a fiery rainbow, Liu Nanfeng lightly pointed into the air. An invisible ripple quickly spread outwards.
Immediately after, Bai Xinghe and the male apostle on the opposite side looked solemn, but quickly recovered.
However, the flames on the female apostle, who had turned her entire body into a fire person, flickered violently, almost extinguishing.
"How did you do that?" Zhan Dundun asked in surprise from the side.
He saw Liu Nanfeng simply flick his finger and extinguish the opponent's might. This was too powerful.
"What's the best way to extinguish fire?" Liu Nanfeng asked with a smile.
"A fire extinguisher?"
"... It's to cut off the air."
It turned out that although Liu Nanfeng had only gently pointed with his finger, he had severed all the gas in the space opposite, creating a vacuum.
However, air is only a combustion aid. The female apostle could already emit flames. Although the flames had greatly diminished, their power was still considerable. She landed on the ground, and the ground was directly scorched with a large hole.
The reason she fell from the sky was that she discovered that although the opponent was in front of her, it felt as if they were at the ends of the earth, and she couldn't get any closer.
"Proximity to Heaven and Earth?" Bai Xinghe said.
Then he spread his hands and drew a circle in the air. A river of stars appeared behind him.
Liu Nanfeng, not understanding astronomy, naturally didn't know what this river of stars represented, but he recognized one of the constellations—the Big Dipper.
"Star Sect's Star Manipulation Art?"
Zhang Guoliang was surprised, and then somewhat enlightened.
He was surprised that Bai Xinghe had this skill, and enlightened that Bai Xinghe's mastery of numerology was so high, realizing he had inherited the legacy of the Star Sect.
The Star Sect was a very ancient lineage, long since lost to the river of history.
It was said that the later Yin Yang School was derived from the inheritance of the Star Sect, combined with Taoism.
At this moment, a star in the river of stars behind him suddenly burst with a strong light, like sword beams, piercing through the universe, crossing the void, and then filling this space.
Liu Nanfeng was also greatly alarmed and quickly waved his hand, stacking layer upon layer of illusory spaces in front of everyone.
The Zhan family trio also showed nervous expressions, but more so surprise. They hadn't expected Bai Xinghe to be so powerful.
Didn't they say he was only skilled in numerology and not in combat?
Anyone who dared to say that in front of them again would have their mouths slapped shut.
The sound of countless shattering glass reached everyone's ears. Liu Nanfeng's mirrored layers that blocked the starlight were shattering.
"Kid Liu, do you need us to step in?" Zhan Xiongtian asked in a deep voice from the side.
"No need. I told you to stand by and watch, so just stand by and watch," Liu Nanfeng said with a smile.
Then he pointed his fingertips in the void, and countless starlight swords were born behind him. The sharp starlight forced the Zhan family trio to quickly dodge backward.
This was not the end. Layers of starlight sword beams appeared, rippling and rotating in the void.
Then, like a tornado, they shredded the mirror images blocking the way and rushed directly towards the opposite side.
Bai Xinghe's starlight swords were shattered under such powerful sword momentum.
"How can you also use Star Manipulation Art?"
Bai Xinghe was so shocked that he could barely maintain his usual composure.
Zhan Guoliang and Zhan Xiongtian had the same question. They turned to look at Zhan Dundun next to them.
Zhan Dundun scratched his cheek and said helplessly, "I don't know either."
"Aren't you his best friend?"
"Yes, I'm just his friend, not his wife. How could I know everything?" Zhan Dundun said irritably.
The result was that his back of the head was smacked by Zhan Guoliang again.
At this moment, seeing the starlight sword beams approaching, the three on the opposite side also unleashed their full abilities.
"Roar."
With a low roar, the male apostle, who had not yet acted, finally made his move. The starlight sword beams that approached him were all shattered.
But this was not the most shocking thing. What was shocking was that at this moment, his face appeared with countless honeycomb-like holes. This roar came from these holes, and then reverberated and collided in the air, producing immense power.
"What kind of monster is this?" Zhan Dundun asked, his eyes wide.
Zhan Guoliang and Zhan Xiongtian both shook their heads. Even with their extensive knowledge, they had never seen anything like this. It looked disgusting and made their skin crawl.
Bai Xinghe waved his arm again, drawing a circle in the air. The starscape behind him immediately appeared on his chest. The approaching starlight sword beams were all absorbed into the starscape without causing any disturbance.
Among the three, the female apostle's response was the simplest. She turned into a ball of flame and directly confronted the starlight swords.
However, this was very effective. After turning into flames, she was almost immune to all physical attacks.
Although these starlight sword beams did not seem physical at all, they generally caused physical damage through sharpness, so they naturally couldn't harm her.
Not only that, but after the starlight sword beams passed through her body, they seemed to lose their vitality and fell from the air, which made her very smug.
"Is this all you've got?" she even asked with a delicate laugh, showing no sense of urgency in the confrontation.
Only Bai Xinghe frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
"Do you like fire a lot?" Liu Nanfeng also asked with a smile.
The female apostle paused for a moment, then waved her hand, and a bird made of flame appeared on her fingertip.
"It's obvious."
"Since that's the case, I'll lend you a hand."
Saying this, he pushed outwards with both hands, and the starlight swords that had fallen to the ground all turned into gas and rose up.
"No..."
Bai Xinhe was the first to react.
But before he could make any further move, he heard a loud bang, as if the entire world had exploded.
The huge blast wave pushed outwards, and the mirror space could no longer be maintained, shattering directly.
The Zhan family trio's hair stood on end. This was a natural reaction to encountering great terror.
In front of them was a scene of devastation, with only a hundred-meter-deep scorched crater remaining.
The so-called refined gold industry from before was completely erased from this land, leaving no trace.
It was unknown if the three of them were blown to pieces or had escaped.
"What... what kind of technique is this?"
Zhan Dundun walked to Liu Nanfeng's side, looking at the scene with his mouth agape.
"Didn't she like fire? I just lent her a hand," Liu Nanfeng said, retracting his hands.
Zhan Dundun's mind worked quickly, and he understood the principle.
It turned out that Liu Nanfeng, through some means, had filled the area around the opponent with a large amount of flammable gas. The thorough combustion brought a large amount of heat, which was then contained within a fixed space, leading to an explosion.
It was equivalent to Liu Nanfeng turning the opponent into a human bomb.
"Then what about those starlight beams earlier? You can also use Star Manipulation Art?"
"No, I can only copy."
Zhan Dundun wanted to say more, but Zhan Xiongtian and Zhan Guoliang walked forward with complex expressions. They said they were just watching, and they really just watched, giving them no chance to intervene.
"Let's leave here first," Zhan Guoliang said.
The huge commotion caused by the shattering of the mirror space had attracted the attention of other companies in the industrial park.
However, as Zhan Guoliang spoke, his tone became much more respectful, losing its previous casualness.
Liu Nanfeng's strength had truly shocked them.
Liu Nanfeng heard this and did not waste any words. He drew a slash in the void, and the Anywhere Door reappeared before them.
