Chapter 4932 — You're Dead Meat Today
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 3
Boom! Zang Zili's pathetic combat instincts doomed her to be unable to cope with such a predicament. The few substantial Five Elements Killing Auras lurking among the mist-and-shadows finally seized their moment, striking several of her vital points dead-on. Even as an overlord of the Kaishan stage, taking such a blow all at once would leave her gravely wounded!
At the sound, everyone's heart skipped a beat. Even though they had seen the whole thing clearly with their own eyes, they still found it unbelievable to watch Zang Zili blasted into the dust, and the way they looked at Wei Zhao was as though they were looking at a monster. This thing could really press even a Kaishan overlord into the ground—since when had the North Island produced such a heaven-defying figure?!
And yet. There was not the slightest sign of relaxation in Wei Zhao's expression; on the contrary, his brows knitted even tighter in that instant.
Sure enough, a mere instant later, Zang Zili came charging savagely out of the dust, a ferocious glare on her face, her whole body wrapped in a thin layer of white flame, hurling herself at Wei Zhao like a madwoman.
Wei Zhao fell back at lightning speed while shaking his head inwardly. A Kaishan overlord was indeed hard to deal with; even the weakest early Kaishan like Zang Zili, who had no combat awareness whatsoever, was still no small matter.
That last strike had failed to gravely wound Zang Zili. Judging from the fact that she was now completely unscathed and wrapped in a mantle of white flame, one could infer that this thing must have blocked the Five Elements Killing Auras. Weak as Zang Zili was, she still had at least this much of a life-preserving trump card.
Up to this point, Wei Zhao had been suppressing Zang Zili with one trick after another from beginning to end, but from this moment on the situation was suddenly and completely reversed: it was Zang Zili who began a frenzied pursuit, and Wei Zhao who had no choice but to run with her hounding him.
Fortunately, the Super-Limit Butterfly Microstep was fast enough; otherwise it would have been Wei Zhao who suffered badly at this point. Having tested his moves to this stage, the result was already plain to see.
A seven-attribute martial technique was still not enough to deal with Zang Zili; it looked as though only an eight-attribute martial technique had a chance. Unfortunately, the lightning attribute within Wei Zhao's body was simply too powerful now. That certainly brought him enormous benefits, but at the same time it carried no small drawback: it invisibly increased the difficulty of fusing it with the other seven attributes.
Given a month, Wei Zhao's comprehension was sufficient to hammer out the strongest version of an eight-attribute martial technique, and it might well have been more than enough to deal with Zang Zili—but where was he supposed to find that chance now?
Never mind a month; Zang Zili would not grant him even the time it took to burn a stick of incense. To be suppressed in front of so many people by a mere early Xuan Ascension was a humiliation that had long since stripped Zang Zili, a Kaishan overlord, of all face. At this moment she was thoroughly shamed into rage, bent on hacking Wei Zhao to pieces no matter the cost—otherwise the hatred in her heart would never subside!
"Hmph, brat, if you've got any tricks left, then bring them out! What's the matter? Out of tricks again?" Zang Zili sneered viciously as she frantically chased Wei Zhao. "No matter how many tricks you have, no matter how crooked and wicked they are, the absolute gap in strength is right here before you. You're dead meat today, and no one can save you!"
This time Wei Zhao, unusually, made no reply, only burying his head and scurrying everywhere, giving the impression that he truly was at his wit's end as his situation grew ever more perilous.
