God of Elements: Controls all things

"It's actually an ice-type elemental blade."

The tall, thin cultist stared greedily at the ice blade in Wang Yijie's hand.

Shen Hanzhou gave the order in a deep voice:

"Mengyan, protect Yijie. Leave these people to me."

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Mengyan immediately moved to Wang Yijie's side, raised her hand slightly, and a layer of translucent ice crystal barrier condensed in front of her, with crystal-clear ice patterns slowly flowing, firmly protecting the two of them.

Her icy gaze was fixed on the cultist before her, icicles flickering at her fingertips, constantly on guard against a sudden attack. She whispered a warning to Wang Yijie beside her:

"Yijie, stay inside the barrier and don't move around. Hold the Ice Blade tightly and keep your aura steady."

"Um."

Wang Yijie gripped the ice glass blade tightly, his palm surging with cold energy. Looking at the cultist surrounded by evil aura, his heart tightened, but he obediently stood behind the ice crystal barrier, his eyes firm, not daring to be distracted for even a moment.

"Thunder Domain!"

A powerful electric current enveloped Shen Hanzhou's entire body, then exploded outwards, forming a violent lightning domain.

The black aura that had been enveloping the believers instantly boiled under the suppression of this domain, emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound, and was actually forced back by this extremely strong and yang lightning energy.

"There are actually two sixth-tier elementalists!"

The tall, thin cultist's expression suddenly changed drastically. "How did we manage to provoke such a tough opponent on the outskirts of Black Wind Ridge!"

"What's the panic!"

The leader of the cultists shouted a stern rebuke, and his black aura suddenly surged, forcefully resisting some of the thunderous pressure.

"They're just two sixth-tier beings. I possess a trace of dark elemental essence. If the three of us join forces, they might not be able to defeat us!"

Having said that, the black gas around him merged into his dark green body, forming a sharp thorn that, accompanied by a piercing sound, stabbed straight at Shen Hanzhou.

The dark green spikes carried a chilling, malevolent aura of darkness, their tips gleaming with a poisonous luster. Wherever they passed, even the air itself seemed to distort. They hurtled straight toward Shen Hanzhou's heart with astonishing speed.

Shen Hanzhou stood at the center of the thunder, his expression calm and composed. Golden and blue lightning arcs danced wildly around his body, gathering all the lightning power in his surroundings in front of him, transforming it into a thick lightning shield.

"clang!"

A piercing clang echoed through the forest as the dark spikes slammed into the lightning shield. Sparks, black mist, and lightning intertwined and scattered, and the violent energy shockwaves swept outwards, snapping several trees and even cracking the ground.

"This person's poison contains a trace of dark elemental power."

Shen Hanzhou frowned slightly, and the lightning arc on his wrist suddenly surged, dissipating the force that had knocked him back.

He was secretly alarmed. The dark element was not purely violent, but carried a strange "corrosive" attribute. It could even leave residual poison after being bombarded by lightning, which was completely different from the combat logic of ordinary elementalists.

"Darkness, along with my spatial element, is one of the five high-level elements."

Wang Yijie gripped the ice-glass blade tightly, looked at the fierce battle ahead, lowered his voice and spoke, his tone somewhat solemn.

In that brief moment, the elements within his body surged, as if creating some kind of opposing force with the black mist. These words weren't just for Lin Mengyan's ears; they were also common knowledge he was rapidly confirming in his mind.

The five high-level elements are: space, time, darkness, light, and nature, and this leading cultist even possesses a trace of the power of the dark element.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mengyan trembled slightly and said:

"The Lord of the Ember Spirit Temple is the ultimate dark element, extremely mysterious. He bestows a trace of dark elemental power upon his followers, greatly enhancing their abilities in exchange for more people serving him."

The tall, thin cultist leaped up, and countless vines grew from his body toward the barrier where Wang Yijie and Lin Mengyan were.

Lin Mengyan reacted swiftly, slapping her hand hard. Instantly, a layer of crystalline ice light rose in front of her, blocking the swirling vines from reaching her.

The vines crashed against the ice curtain with a crisp "crack" sound, instantly shattering into countless fragments, turning into foul-smelling juice that splashed everywhere.

"Hey, little girl, you're pretty quick. Flame Demon, hurry up and get on her."

Upon hearing this, another heretic moved in response, his body suddenly engulfed in raging crimson flames. Orange-red tongues of fire surged wildly, instantly raising the temperature soaring, scorching the surrounding vegetation until it curled slightly. He rapidly formed hand seals and shouted sharply:

"Fireworks!"

Several fist-sized fireballs coalesced, carrying waves of heat that scorched the air. They worked in tandem with the tall, thin cultist's wood-based vines, igniting and binding together as they hurtled straight toward the ice crystal barrier.

The flames, instead of being stopped by the vines, were ignited and transformed into fiery vines, their attack becoming increasingly fierce as they slammed into the ice curtain.

zizi——

When ice and fire meet, a large cloud of white mist instantly rises up. The ice crystal barrier trembles slightly from the heat, and the originally crystal-clear ice surface is covered with layers of white marks. The originally stable ice patterns begin to show fine cracks.

Lin Mengyan's pretty face tightened slightly, not daring to relax for a moment. She once again activated the ice element with both hands, reinforcing the barrier layer by layer. The biting cold air continued to emanate outward, trying to suppress the scorching heat that was rushing towards her.

"Mengyan, how are you?"

Shen Hanzhou forcefully repelled the leader of the cultists' dark thorns, then turned to the side, his tone filled with urgent concern.

"It's nothing, Hanzhou, just two fifth-tier cultivators."

Lin Mengyan's voice was clear and calm, seemingly relaxed, but she was secretly channeling her power into her fingertips, with ice elements rapidly circulating in her palm.

She saw through their true nature at a glance, but even with the elemental advantage, two fifth-tier elementalists were far from posing a real threat to her.

"Ice Crystal Cage"

Lin Mengyan's clear, cold voice echoed across the battlefield. With a sudden clench of her slender hand, ice elements instantly gathered at her fingertips into a crystalline ice thread, which she flung out into the air.

The ice silk exploded in mid-air, scattering countless ice crystal fragments like a beautiful winter snowfall. However, beneath this beautiful appearance lay a deadly confinement.

The moment the fragments hit the ground, they quickly solidified and grew, instantly forming an ice-blue cage around the Flame Demon and the tall, thin cultist.

Ice patterns swirled wildly across the cage, emitting a soft hissing sound, instantly freezing the two people along with their still-developing fire and wood elements.

Wang Yijie seized the opportunity to activate his spatial power. The ice-glass blade in his palm trembled slightly, and a faint yet exceptionally condensed spatial fluctuation quietly spread along the blade.

Although his cultivation level was still shallow and he couldn't unleash large-scale spatial spells, the ice crystal cage's confinement allowed him to precisely lock onto his target. The young man focused his mind, channeling all his remaining spatial elements into his technique, and let out a low shout:

"Space Flash Blade!"

The icy blade gleamed with a sudden burst of cold light, and an almost transparent blade shadow appeared out of thin air inside the cage, ignoring the distance and the ice wall, and slashed straight at the two cultists.

The Flame Demon and the tall, thin cultist, already frozen and unable to move, were caught off guard and suddenly felt their elemental power become chaotic, and a sharp pain shot through their chests.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Hanzhou unleashed a burst of lightning, holding nothing back, and attacked the two trapped individuals.

"Thor's Claw!"

Shen Hanzhou shouted loudly, and the surging purple lightning around his body suddenly condensed, transforming into a huge and ferocious lightning claw on his right arm, which struck directly at the two of them.

boom--!

The lightning claws slammed down, the terrifying power of lightning piercing through their bodies, slamming the two of them heavily to the ground, creating cracks in the air...
