Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 113: A Reversal of Fortune, the Truth Gradually Emerges

Zhang Peng's attack was like a dazzling comet, carrying the dual power of the five elements and an ancient artifact, tearing through the air and heading straight for the leader of the mysterious organization. The light was so dazzling that everyone present subconsciously squinted. Extreme fear flashed across the leader's face as he frantically mobilized the dark spiritual energy around him, trying to resist this fatal blow.

The black spiritual energy collided with the multicolored light, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful shockwave radiated outwards from the point of impact, whipping up a gust of wind that completely dispersed the mist in the valley. Li Ming and the Qingfeng Sect disciples seized the opportunity to steady themselves, adjust their breathing, and prepare for the battle to come.

Lin Wan'er and Su Yao were not idle either. They cooperated well. One used wood-type magic to heal the injured fellow disciples, while the other turned ice-type magic into ice blades and shot them at the henchmen of the mysterious organization to interfere with their actions.

Zhang Peng stared intently at the leader, advancing step by step. With each step, the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly, as if echoing the surging power within him. The leader retreated continuously, his black robe fluttering wildly under the impact of spiritual energy, like a candle flickering in the wind, threatening to go out at any moment.

"Who...who exactly are you?" the leader asked in a trembling voice, his confidence crumbling before Zhang Peng's overwhelming power.

Zhang Peng sneered, "I am merely a guardian of justice and the cultivation world. And you, who dared to try and destroy all of this, will now face your retribution!"

Just as Zhang Peng was about to deliver the final blow to the leader, the leader suddenly pulled a black sphere from his robes. The sphere's surface was covered in eerie runes and emitted a nauseating stench. He raised the sphere high and shouted, "Since I cannot escape death today, I will take you all with me!"

Zhang Peng was startled. He sensed the immense energy contained within the sphere; if it were to erupt, the entire valley and surrounding area would be razed to the ground. "Not good! Everyone scatter!" he shouted, exerting all his strength to try and suppress the sphere's power with his spiritual energy.

Li Ming and the others quickly scattered in all directions, while Lin Wan'er and Su Yao sped up their healing and attack efforts to buy time for everyone. However, the sphere's power was too great, and Zhang Peng gradually became overwhelmed; his spiritual energy shield began to crack under the sphere's impact.

At this critical moment, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a wondrous resonance between the Five Elements Spirit Pearl and the ancient artifact. This resonance was different from before, carrying an unprecedented harmony and power. Following this resonance, he poured all his spiritual power into it, forming a massive spiritual power barrier that completely blocked the sphere's power.

"How is this possible..." The leader muttered to himself in disbelief as he looked at the scene before him.

As Zhang Peng continued to pour in his spiritual energy, the sphere's power was gradually suppressed, and finally, with a "bang," it turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated into the air. The leader, having lost the sphere's support, collapsed to the ground, unable to resist.

Zhang Peng stepped forward and stomped on the leader's body: "Tell me, what exactly is your conspiracy? What other remnants of your forces are there?"

The leader snorted coldly, refusing to answer. A murderous glint flashed in Zhang Peng's eyes: "You think I can't do anything to you just because you don't talk?" He channeled his spiritual power, inflicting immense pain on the leader.

Under agonizing torment, the leader finally spoke: "We...we are just pawns, there are even more powerful forces behind us...they want to open the forbidden gate and release what's inside..." Before he could finish speaking, the leader suddenly coughed up black blood and died.

"Damn it!" Zhang Peng kicked the corpse angrily. He knew that the conspiracy behind the mysterious organization was far more complicated than they had imagined.

Li Ming and the others gathered around, their faces filled with doubt and worry. "Zhang Peng, what do we do now?" Li Ming asked.

Zhang Peng pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what conspiracy they have behind it, we cannot sit idly by and wait to die. Let's go back to Qingfeng Sect, tell the elders about this, and we'll think of a solution together."

Everyone nodded in agreement. They cleaned up the battlefield, took their wounded companions, and left the mysterious valley. On the way back, Zhang Peng looked at the distant sky and secretly vowed in his heart: "No matter what your conspiracy is, I will expose your true colors and protect the peace of the cultivation world."
