Chapter 4932 — You're Dead Meat Today

This time it was still the mist-and-shadow version of the Five Elements Killing Aura, but on top of that Wei Zhao had added another attribute: ice.
The five elemental attributes plus the two of mist and ice made a martial technique of seven attributes—unprecedented in history. In other words, apart from the lightning attribute that was currently the strongest within his body, Wei Zhao had successfully fused every other attribute into one. To have come this far in such a short span of time was nothing short of a miracle.
Of course, this was also because he had the Five Elements Killing Aura as his foundation, making it easy to fuse the five elemental attributes together; the mist and ice attributes afterward were merely a step further on that base, and the difficulty had shrunk considerably without his even realizing it. Otherwise, never mind a seven-attribute martial technique—simply working out how to combine a five-attribute martial technique would have been enough to make anyone tear their hair out.
"Hmph, out of tricks so soon, are you? Using the same move a second time—do you take me for a fool?" Zang Zili had yet to notice how these Five Elements Killing Auras differed from before, and was still boasting and mocking Wei Zhao.
Sure enough, this utterly self-unaware, stupid reaction of hers drew another round of merciless scorn from the Alliance Chairman and the other masters of the Kaishan stage.
Everyone present was, at that moment, thinking the same question: how could a woman this foolish possess such towering attainments in the alchemical arts? Could it be that all her intelligence was concentrated in alchemy, and in every other respect she was an out-and-out idiot?
"You really are a fool," Wei Zhao said, voicing what everyone was thinking.
"You—!" Zang Zili was so furious her teeth itched; unfortunately, she was once again surrounded on all sides by hundreds of Five Elements Killing Auras and simply could not free her hands to deal with Wei Zhao. Even if ninety-nine percent of them were powerless mist-and-shadow phantoms, she still had to handle them with care—if the genuine Five Elements Killing Auras seized the chaos to lock onto her vital points, it would be a disaster.
Having learned from the last experience, Zang Zili's response this time seemed far more composed. She first used her specialty, the white fireballs, to blast open a gap in the encirclement, then dodged and maneuvered as she went. It was the clumsiest possible method, yet not necessarily an ineffective one.
Judged on that point alone, the same move used a second time would indeed have its effect greatly diminished—pity Zang Zili had not realized that this time the mist-and-shadow Five Elements Killing Aura was laced with the ice attribute!
Admittedly, any ice-type martial technique used on its own would be completely countered by her white fireballs, with virtually no chance of taking effect. But once the ice attribute was fused into the Five Elements Killing Aura, that absolute disadvantage of being countered no longer existed; instead, the ice attribute could come into play amid her constant maneuvering.
That effect was freezing. Though it could not possibly freeze Zang Zili solid, her speed was visibly slowed a great deal—and that was already enough.
Zang Zili soon grew frantic, struggling to keep up; beset by hundreds of Five Elements Killing Auras harrying and cutting her off, openings large and small cropped up one after another, and the scene was perilous in the extreme.
The crowd in the distance was utterly dumbstruck—an early Xuan Ascension expert was bullying an early Kaishan overlord into this state. Had the script been written wrong?
