Chapter 4718 — Run!

The Five-Element Eight-Trigram Palm he had learned earlier also carried all five attributes at once. But that technique capped out at the Heaven Rank Great Perfection and had no further progression afterward—a far cry from the Nascent Soul level.
As for his other techniques, no matter how proficiently Wei Zhao could unleash them, bringing them all out within a single breath was still very hard. This girl hadn't thought things through before coming to find him. Was this sort of thing something a normal person could do?
For an ordinary person, unleashing one martial technique in a breath was already quite good. Two was impossible!
Fortunately, Huo Yudie hadn't thought this point through carefully—otherwise the Thunder Mystic Vine would likely have had nothing to do with Wei Zhao at all.
Seeing Wei Zhao's strange expression, Huo Yudie realized belatedly that she had been a bit too optimistic, and scrambled for a remedy. "This... I know unleashing five techniques at once isn't very realistic, but with your strength, unleashing four should be doable, right? I have a metal-attribute spiritual root, so I can work with you on the metal technique. The other four will have to be up to you. How about we practice together first and see... if that doesn't work, I've also got a wood-attribute spiritual root in my body. With some practice I should be able to manage that too..."
"No need for that." Wei Zhao shook his head, and at the Five-Thunder Tribulation Arch directly ahead he simply loosed a bolt of five-element killing qi.
Huo Yudie nearly jumped out of her skin. It was too late to stop him now. The Five-Thunder Tribulation Arch was the formation's eye—it didn't care whether they had practiced together or not. Striking it could yield only two outcomes: either the formation broke cleanly, or it summoned a frenzy of heavenly thunder. There was no third possibility.
Huo Yudie had been thinking that hard as this was, with Wei Zhao's ability and her own coordination, perhaps a few dozen practice runs would build up enough rapport, and only then would they dare attempt it. Who could have imagined Wei Zhao would just casually blast it?!
Rumble! The moment the five-element killing qi sank into the Five-Thunder Tribulation Arch, the earth shook and the mountains swayed. In the blink of an eye, dark clouds packed the sky overhead, countless bolts of lightning flickering faintly within them—a fearsome sight, as though the end of the world were at hand.
"Run!" Huo Yudie was scared out of her wits. She grabbed Wei Zhao's hand and made to flee—after all, by any measure this situation looked bad. Thunder was clearly brewing, and likely the most powerful sort of heavenly thunder at that!
Wei Zhao's feet did not move, though gazing at the terrifying spectacle overhead, he couldn't help feeling a pang of unease. Could it be that five-element killing qi couldn't be used to break the formation?
From what Huo Yudie had said earlier, he had assumed that as long as the attack carried all five attributes simultaneously, it didn't matter whether it was one technique or five. But if even five-element killing qi wouldn't work, did that mean it had to be five separate techniques?
"Run!" Huo Yudie couldn't budge Wei Zhao and grew frantic. It was only because she was so small—otherwise she likely would have hoisted him onto her shoulders and carried him off.
