Chapter 4934 — The Legend of North Island

But he was not aiming at Wei Zhao; raising his hand, he sent out a supreme surge of force like a blue-green arrow, which forcibly cleaved the Lightning Funeral into two!
At the same moment, the Alliance Chairman's figure flickered and vanished; to onlookers it seemed he had scarcely moved at all, yet in his hands there was now a person—none other than Zang Zili, struck by the Lightning Funeral.
"So powerful!" Wei Zhao was shaken, clicking his tongue in secret amazement. Rumor had it that this Alliance Chairman was a Pidi-stage expert, standing above the Kaishan stage, and now it seemed the rumor was true. Otherwise, if he were merely at the Kaishan stage, even if he could handle the Lightning Funeral, he would not have done so with such effortless ease, surely?
Yet even so, the Alliance Chairman had still failed to save Zang Zili. At this moment the woman's whole body was wreathed in black smoke, her life or death unknown—just like the two unfortunate Libationers before her and Chang Laiting.
A deathly stillness fell over the whole arena, and everyone was dumbstruck. If Wei Zhao's earlier feat of cutting down two late Xuan-sheng experts had still been within the realm of their understanding, then this scene before them had utterly shattered the limits of what they could comprehend.
An early Xuan-sheng expert crossing an entire great realm to defeat an early Kaishan-stage titan-realm expert—since when had this world gone so mad?!
This was not merely inconceivable; it was a complete overturning of common sense. These people had not only never seen such a thing—they had never even heard of it!
It must be said that the Eastern Continent was itself a land where geniuses gathered. Geniuses who challenged beyond their level were rare on other cloud-tier islands, but here they were a dime a dozen, and examples of Xuan-sheng experts toppling Kaishan-stage titans were in fact not uncommon. But those were all renowned Xuan-sheng great-perfection experts—who ever heard of a mere early Xuan-sheng cultivator doing such a thing?!
Among the crowd, only Wang Xinyan and Huang Xiaotao's expressions remained more or less normal. Though they too had been holding their breath for Wei Zhao just now, they knew that while crossing great realms to fight foes might seem earth-shaking to others, to Wei Zhao it was already routine.
Since he had been able to do such things before, now that he was an early Xuan-sheng expert, toppling a Kaishan-stage titan was hardly anything remarkable—it was, rather, only to be expected.
Looking at Zang Zili, her life or death unknown, the Alliance Chairman was dumbstruck for a moment, then his face turned grim as water. He looked coldly at Wei Zhao and said, "Boy, what do you mean by this?"
An oppressive pressure suffocating in its intensity followed close upon his words. Startled as he was, Wei Zhao was all the more certain of the man's strength: he was indeed no Kaishan-stage titan, but an expert of the next level up, the Pidi stage!
"Nothing much. Since she wanted to finish me, she naturally had to be prepared to be finished by me." Wei Zhao's expression did not change in the slightest as he met the man's gaze with perfect composure. "Besides, I said it earlier—before we started, I specifically confirmed with the Chairman, asking whether I would be held responsible if I beat her to death, and she herself said no. That was plain for all to see. Does the Chairman mean to stick up for her now?"
His words were reasoned and well-grounded, and the crowd watching from afar all nodded in agreement. At the time they had thought the fellow was merely talking nonsense; little did they expect that he truly had the strength to beat Zang Zili to death. What a freak!
