He Zhu had just escaped death. He scratched his head and grinned. "Thank you, Junior Brother Chengfeng."
Li Chengfeng was very satisfied with his quick reflexes. He felt that his mastery of the power of flowers and plants had improved. He realised that the power of flowers and plants was not as simple as he thought. If he could use his imagination, this seemingly weak power could be used to achieve victory.
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Aren't you afraid that we won't be able to cover you? Aren't you afraid that you'll be hacked to death or burned to death?"
He Zhu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. "Senior Brothers won't trick me."
At that moment, Li Chengfeng was a little moved. What an honest big idiot this was!
Li Chengfeng pulled He Zhu up and patted his shoulder. "Good job!"
Su You and the rest also stabbed their swords into the stone slabs. There was a loud bang in Yanjian Hall and the array stopped operating. The Separating Fire Array had been broken!
Li Chengfeng turned to look at Yuehan, only to see her smiling arrogantly at him with her nose in the air. Li Chengfeng was amused and annoyed at the same time. He grabbed her head and rubbed it hard, gritting his teeth. "Not bad, you stupid girl! Not bad at all!"
Yuehan shrieked, trying to escape from Li Chengfeng's clutches but he held her down and bullied her.
Su You, who was watching from the side, was filled with envy. He turned around and laughed dryly. He wanted to reach out and pat Blockhead's head, but when he raised his hand, he realized that he could only touch Blockhead's head. Instantly, he awkwardly reached back and touched his own head.
Tianjun could not help but laugh when he saw this. Blockhead also rubbed his own head and chuckled.
This was the first time they worked so closely together. If any one of them had made a mistake, He Zhu would have died. If he did not smash the stone statue at the eye of the array, the array would not have been broken. If the array could not be broken, then it was only a matter of time before Li Chengfeng and the rest were exhausted to death.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng felt an invisible force and emotion connecting them together. He had reason to believe that he would become stronger, and they would become stronger!
At that moment, another rumbling sound came from the magic array. The stone slabs on the ground moved again, moving the stone statue down.
Li Chengfeng was very curious. Just what kind of gigantic mechanism was beneath Yanjian Hall? Where were the broken statues transported to?
How were they repaired?
How were these stone puppets made?
What was the principle behind their operation?
When he arrived at the Spiritual Mountain Sect, Li Chengfeng felt like he had come into contact with a corner of a chaotic world. He had only explored a small area in front of him, there was still a large amount of fog and areas waiting for him to explore and discover.
Just as Li Chengfeng was deep in thought, mechanical puppets once again appeared in Yanjian Hall. This time, there were more than twenty puppets. Li Chengfeng and the rest paled at the sight. They instinctively looked at Yuehan.
Yuehan saw that they were positioned in a formation of four in the front, ten in the middle, and six at the back. The middle was spread out, and the two ends were densely packed together. It looked like a giant jujube pit. She immediately said, "This is the Blazing Sword Array, it's an all-out offensive and defensive array, we can't break it!"
Li Chengfeng's expression darkened. "Then you were just bluffing!"
Su Yuehan retorted, "The Blazing Sword Array is a medium-sized array formation. It has strong defensive and offensive capabilities. This kind of array formation is specially used on the battlefield. The few of us here won't even be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!"
Li Chengfeng feigned anger. "Cut the crap, what do we do now?!"
Yuehan giggled. "We can't do anything but you can!"
Li Chengfeng was taken aback, then his eyes lit up. "You mean …"
Yuehan smiled. "Although Young Master's wood-based spell is countered by fire, it's very useful against other elements!
The Blazing Sword Array can only increase attack and defence, but it can't defend against your spell that can destroy the puppets from the inside. "
Li Chengfeng's spirits lifted as he looked at the twenty murderous mechanical puppets. He remembered his sudden inspiration when he saved He Zhu. An idea formed in his mind, and a grass whip quickly grew in his hand.
Li Chengfeng's figure flashed, and the long whip in his hand lashed at the stone statue closest to him. The stone statue wielded a sword and slashed at the grass whip. The sword was so powerful that it almost split the air apart.
However, when the stone sword struck the grass whip, the grass whip immediately exploded, dispersing into countless tiny grass ropes that rapidly grew along the stone sword. Then, like countless slithering snakes, they burrowed into the gaps in the stone statue's wrists, elbows, shoulders, and neck.
Li Chengfeng continued to wander. Everywhere he went, the grass on the ground withered rapidly while the rope in his hand grew longer and longer, faster and crazier.
After a while, weeds grew in all the gaps in the puppet's body. Its entire body trembled, trying to move but all the gears were stuffed tightly with weeds, unable to move.
After the weeds grew, they immediately gathered together and twisted into a rope, continuing to grow as Li Chengfeng moved forward.
Yuehan, Su You, Xiaobao and the rest watched in awe as Li Chengfeng manipulated a green snake to drill into the stone statue's body, then controlled them one by one. Like a skilled craftsman, he skillfully skewered them all into candied haws.
Like a cheetah, Li Chengfeng moved through the array. Behind him, the number of puppets that could not move increased. When he strung the last puppet together, he turned around to see what looked like a giant green python behind him. Its body had tied up all the puppets together. It was a shocking sight.
Yuehan knew last night that Li Chengfeng was a genius in cultivation, but she did not know that he was also a genius in battle!
Although cultivation and battle of magical powers sounded like the same thing, they were two different things when spoken about.
The former talked about how to become stronger, the latter talked about how to use this power in battle after becoming stronger.
Cultivation was important because it represented where a person's highest realm was. However, battle was equally important because it represented whether one could survive an intense battle.
A person with a higher realm might not necessarily be able to defeat a person with a lower realm. Just like how the Zhan family's battle servants were defeated by Li Chengfeng's ultimate technique.
Su You and the rest stared at Li Chengfeng, dumbfounded. They were extremely excited.
Cultivation geniuses were extremely rare, and similarly, battle geniuses were extremely rare. However, to be a cultivation genius and battle genius, that was really … rare. Moreover, they were all great cultivators that shook the world!
