Chapter 4931 — Utterly Discomfited

"Heh. As you wish—now you can warm up to your heart's content." Wei Zhao smiled faintly.
"What did you say?" Only now did Zang Zili suddenly sense that something was wrong. Before she could make any response, dense ranks of hundreds of Five Elements Killing Auras abruptly materialized on all sides, in every direction!
Amid the unending dragon roars, Zang Zili's expression changed drastically. So that Five Elements Killing Aura just now had not been destroyed at all—it had been nothing but a decoy. And she, laughably, had taken it for the full extent of his strength.
"Let us begin. Show me how you warm up." Wei Zhao snapped his fingers, light as a drifting cloud, and the Five Elements Killing Auras encircling Zang Zili all launched their attack at once. The onlookers could not even see Zang Zili's shadow—only the dense mass of Five Elements Killing Auras drowning her out. The scene was enough to make one's heart quail.
Zang Zili was thrown into frantic confusion at once. Even if she hastily condensed white flames of the greatest intensity, she could only lock onto a few Five Elements Killing Auras within a given area at a time. To blast them all away in one go was simply unrealistic.
All she could do now was tear open a gap as quickly as possible and break out through it.
Wei Zhao did not seize the chance to strike again—not out of any deliberate leniency, but mainly because that move just now had drained every drop of true qi from his body. At this moment he could only use the jade pendant to swiftly replenish his true qi while carefully observing the situation, preparing for the next round of testing his moves.
"These are... phantoms..." Only after fleeing in disarray for a while did Zang Zili finally notice that something was off. Not all of these Five Elements Killing Auras were real—the vast majority were nothing but empty shells with the appearance and nothing else.
Mere empty shells had fooled a Kaishan-stage titan into spinning in circles! Zang Zili ground her teeth in fury. She had been made a public laughingstock by this brat!
The Alliance Chairman and the assembled Kaishan-stage experts shook their heads once more. True, this woman was an alchemist, and it was forgivable that her strength should be somewhat weaker than that of her peers—but for a Kaishan-stage titan's combat competence to be so utterly wretched was truly beyond words.
Most of them had seen at a glance that nine tenths of Wei Zhao's Five Elements Killing Auras were mere mist-shadows with no offensive power whatsoever. No matter how convincingly disguised, if one's insight was sharp enough, flaws could ultimately be spotted.
And even if one could not tell at a glance, the simplest logic would have sufficed: there was no way so many Five Elements Killing Auras could all be real. Given the intensity of this technique, a normal early Xuan Ascension expert would be at his limit producing five or six; here there were fully a hundred or more. Which were real and which were false could be deduced even with one's toes!
Only Zang Zili could be spun in circles by so simple a trick as Wei Zhao's mist-shadow version of the Five Elements Killing Aura. Any other Kaishan-stage expert present would have scarcely been affected by such a technique at all.
Even so, Zang Zili ultimately came to no harm. She was an early Kaishan-stage expert, after all; though she handled it in utter disarray, several times seeming on the verge of injury, in the end she still barely scraped through.
