When Yuehan attacked Xi Mengcai's weakness, Li Chengfeng and the others were still trapped in the illusion array. They were like a small boat in the middle of a stormy sea, in danger of capsizing at any time.
Li Chengfeng desperately used the power of the flowers and trees to keep the tide of zombies at bay, helping Ouyang Nan and the rest kill the zombies. The flowers and trees were like countless giant pythons, twisting and turning in the tide of zombies. Some surrounded groups of zombies into minced meat, while others formed a sturdy 'wall', keeping the zombies outside to reduce the direction and area of the array's attack.
If someone looked down from above, they would be able to see that the flowers and trees Li Chengfeng controlled were growing wildly behind, desperately building three tall walls to block the zombies outside. The zombies crashed into the walls, biting and biting wildly at first, but the tide of zombies soon drowned them. More zombies stepped over their bodies and climbed up the walls.
However, the three green walls continued to grow madly while the zombies on the periphery kept climbing. It was as if both sides were in a race to see who could surpass the other.
On one side of the green wall, the corpses were piled up like a mountain. They were densely packed, and there were corpses constantly falling from the top, like a small rolling wave in a stormy sea, quickly disappearing.
However, countless more zombies climbed up, letting out a creepy 'hehe' sound. These sounds merged into a terrifying sound wave, buzzing so loudly that Li Chengfeng and the rest could not hear anything else. Even if they were standing only one or two metres away, they had to shout at the top of their lungs to hear what the other party was saying.
However, even as Li Chengfeng madly activated the three green walls, zombies continued to fall from above like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Then, they howled and pounced towards Li Chengfeng and the rest.
Ouyang Nan and the rest fought in formation, hacking and slashing wildly. The corpses around them piled up like a mountain but they quickly formed new zombies, howling and pouncing towards them.
Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before they died, because these zombie monsters were almost endless, and they seemed impossible to kill!
Even if they were burned to ashes, new zombie monsters would quickly grow out from the ashes, but they were even weirder. They looked like a wriggling ball of flour, as if they did not have any lethality.
But when they got close, they would spit out a black mist, and as long as it touched them, their flesh would quickly rot and fester.
At this moment, Li Chengfeng realised his biggest problem and weakness. When he met a truly strong opponent, his attack power would decrease sharply.
Although he had defeated opponents stronger than him, using the power of flowers to kill Hidden Sword Court's Martial Uncle and Profound Life Sect's experts, those were extreme cases and he had help.
If Li Chengfeng was in a one-on-one situation, he would not be able to defeat a strong opponent. This would be his biggest worry.
His current predicament made Li Chengfeng sweat profusely, almost going crazy. He realised that his immortal energy could only block, not kill. Even when the 'green python' formed from flowers and trees minced countless zombies, it could not effectively kill them.
Li Chengfeng was getting more and more desperate, more and more pessimistic. What he did not know was that Ouyang Nan and the rest knew that without Li Chengfeng, they would not have lasted more than fifteen minutes before all of them died.
Li Chengfeng had almost single-handedly turned the tide. If it weren't for the fact that these zombies were almost impossible to kill, they could have turned the tables and made a comeback!
But … this was Xi Mengcai's illusion. With their strength, they could never turn the tables.
Li Chengfeng turned to look at Yuehan, who had been motionless with her head lowered. She had been in a meditative state since the beginning of the battle. Li Chengfeng knew that Yuehan must be in an intense illusory battle with Xian Mencai.
He did not understand how these two illusionary experts would fight but he knew that all hope rested on Yuehan.
That was why they were fighting with all their might.
However … the green walls had grown to their limit. Three of them were a hundred metres tall. This was the limit of Li Chengfeng's immortal energy.
Li Chengfeng's current immortal power was limited, but these zombie horde did not seem to have a limit. Soon, like a raging tide, they pounced down from the three green walls like a torrential downpour, crashing onto the ground. The zombie horde at the bottom was quickly suppressed, unable to move. However, more zombie horde surged up like the tide. Some surged to the periphery, then twisted and pounced towards Li Chengfeng and the rest.
Li Chengfeng and the rest's array collapsed instantly.
They had limited numbers and could not defend against attacks from all directions. In the blink of an eye, Han Tianxing was dragged out and drowned by the zombies. He could only let out a pained cry before his entire body and voice disappeared in the raging tide.
Li Chengfeng and the rest did not have time to grieve. Soon, the injured Blockhead was pounced on and dragged out of the array to be swallowed by the zombies.
One by one, Li Chengfeng's familiar faces screamed in despair as they were dragged into the sea of corpses, disappearing without a trace.
Especially when Xiaobao was dragged out, Li Chengfeng almost went crazy. He stretched out his hand, trying to pull Xiaobao back, but Xiaobao screamed and was quickly dragged out. Li Chengfeng immediately used the immortal energy of the flowers and trees to wrap around Xiaobao's body, trying his best to pull him back.
But Xiaobao desperately reached out with his hands, letting out a blood-curdling scream. Then, his body was forcefully torn into two. His lower body was quickly dragged into the sea of corpses, while his upper body was dragged to Li Chengfeng's feet.
Xiaobao did not want to die. He struggled to raise his head, coughing blood as he looked at Li Chengfeng with tears in his eyes. He struggled to say something but no words came out. He breathed his last.
Li Chengfeng roared, "No!"
At this moment, he mobilized the power of all the flowers and plants to envelop himself and Yuehan together, forming an incomparably solid and thick sphere, blocking the swarming tide of zombies outside.
Those terrifying howls and roars were instantly blocked off, leaving only faint, muffled roars that penetrated through the thick vines.
Li Chengfeng hugged the motionless Yuehan, his eyes brimming with tears as he sobbed, "Yuehan, if you don't wake up, we'll all die … then … it'll be too late!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realised that all sounds around him had disappeared. Then, the ground shook violently and he realised that the tree cage he was in had been grabbed by someone. Then, a terrifying force came from all directions, like a giant cracking an eggshell, Li Chengfeng's thick tree shell was crushed into pieces!
