Synchronization

Feng Laixian was undoubtedly a powerful man.

Therefore, dealing with him required some strategy.

The old man smiled happily. One Living Corpse after another around him locked their gaze onto Feng Laixian, and invisible forces wrapped around Feng Laixian like shackles.

Those invisible forces were actually telekinesis.

As an all-purpose ability, telekinesis had an extremely high ceiling and floor, giving it a tremendous advantage in direct combat.

Ordinary people had virtually no ability to resist telekinetics. In a single exchange, their necks could be twisted by invisible telekinetic force.

Feng Laixian's body was terrifyingly strong. Even as countless telekinetic forces entangled and crushed him, he still gritted his teeth and slowly thrust his hand into his own body, tearing open the parts infected by corpse poison.

But the corpse poison spread too quickly.

Dense green threads appeared across the surface of his skin, rapidly creeping toward his head.

Once the corpse poison entered his brain, he would become a new Living Corpse.

"What a terrifying telekinetic field. Hall Master Feng is in trouble."

"We should go down and support him. We can't let Hall Master Feng fight alone."

"Don't make things worse. That old ghost is clearly a Top-Tier Awakened, and he can create puppets through some method. If you go down and get poisoned, you'll just become his accomplice."

"Attack the Living Corpses around him. Break the telekinetic field first."

"Can anyone heal Hall Master Feng from a distance? He needs treatment."

"Don't be ridiculous. Hall Master Feng's healing ability is already powerful. He doesn't need treatment; he needs detoxification."

On the city wall, the Awakened who saw this began discussing it one after another. For a time, no one could convince anyone else, nor could they come up with a workable plan.

Just as the old man had said, Feng Laixian had made a bad move.

He was four to five hundred meters away from the city wall. Although some Awakened could attack that far, their attacks would be blocked by the Living Corpses and would be basically useless.

As for going down the city wall to fight the Living Corpses at close quarters, no Awakened with any sense would consider it.

The main issue was that mysterious old man's disgusting ability. Once poisoned, they would become his puppets, and those puppets could even use the abilities they had possessed in life.

Awakened who were not strong enough would become the other side's thugs in no time if they went down to support him. They would only be making things worse.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Zhang Ping's consciousness transferred into the female Awakened once more. The moment he arrived, she sensed his presence.

"Is that you?" the female Awakened asked uncertainly.

Zhang Ping replied, "Yeah. I was worried about things here, so I transferred my consciousness over to see what was going on."

After confirming that Absolute Command could prevent him from losing himself and falling into depravity, he let out a huge sigh of relief. Then, through Wind Whisperer, he happened to overhear the Awakened here talking.

He knew very well that if anything happened to Feng Laixian, the south wall would likely fall. So he transferred his consciousness to the Blood Snake's side, intending to assess the situation first. (It was worth mentioning that he had returned to his Pure-Blood Form, while his main body was currently residing inside Liu Sishan.)

The female Awakened understood what he was worried about, so she stepped forward slightly and looked beyond the city wall.

With Feng Laixian at the center, the air continuously twisted, as though countless arms were pressing him down tightly and preventing him from making any movements.

Feng Laixian's body had already turned completely green. With great difficulty, he kept tearing away flesh and blood containing corpse poison, but it had little effect.

Anyone with eyes could tell that what he was doing was completely futile.

However, Zhang Ping had appraised Feng Laixian's attributes before, so he knew what Feng Laixian was doing. Feng Laixian was harming himself, building up sufficiently severe injuries.

Once Feng Laixian entered a near-death state, he could unleash Red Emperor Flames and instantly recover from all his injuries.

Zhang Ping guessed that these Red Emperor Flames should have a remarkable effect on corpse poison.

"Little hero, does Hall Master Feng still have a chance?" the female Awakened asked worriedly.

In truth, all the Awakened present were worried. The problem was that they were not strong enough. They could only watch, since joining the battle might instead hinder Feng Laixian. There were several Living Corpses beside that mysterious old man equivalent to Top-Tier Awakened, and someone had even recognized their identities just now.

Embarrassed, Zhang Ping said, "Sister, don't call me little hero. Just call me Little Zhang."

"All right, Little Brother Zhang. Aren't you worried?" the female Awakened asked.

Zhang Ping answered, "Hall Master Feng still has a trump card. As long as he can hold out until dawn, he can turn the situation around."

"That's wonderful." The female Awakened breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Ping then looked at the old man and tried to use Appraisal. He had not expected that the mysterious old man wore no equipment that concealed his information. After more than twenty consecutive failures, the appraisal actually succeeded.

He immediately checked the old man's attributes.

...

Isn't this a necromancer template?

As Zhang Ping looked at Zuo Xiangming's attributes, he could not help but complain inwardly.

Then he heard the female Awakened say in surprise, "Little Brother Zhang, why are that old man's attributes appearing before my eyes?"

"Huh? You can see them too?" Zhang Ping asked in surprise.

The female Awakened nodded. "Yes, I can see them. Is this one of your abilities too?"

"Yeah, it's my ability." Zhang Ping nodded. He had not expected the person he was residing in to be able to see it when he used Appraisal.

Looking at Zuo Xiangming's attributes, the female Awakened said gravely, "Little Brother Zhang, this old ghost is so strong. Can Hall Master Feng really do it?"

"As long as he can hold out until dawn, there definitely won't be a problem." Zhang Ping then appraised Feng Laixian again.

This time, he was specifically appraising him for the female Awakened to see.

...

After seeing Feng Laixian's attributes, the female Awakened thought for a moment before saying, "Then we have to find a way to help Hall Master Feng buy time!"

As she spoke, she turned and left the south wall. Once she descended the wall, she called over two sturdier Awakened and left with them.

"Sister, what are you going to do?" Zhang Ping could not help asking.

The female Awakened smiled faintly. "My name is Chen Weihua. You can call me Sister Chen or Sister Weihua. As for what I'm going to do... right now, the biggest problem for Hall Master Feng is probably those Living Corpses that can use telekinesis. Only by dealing with those Living Corpses will Hall Master Feng have a chance to hold out until dawn!"

As she spoke, she arrived at a warehouse.

When she took out a key and opened the warehouse, Zhang Ping saw a large number of fruits shaped like sea urchins.
