Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 183 Dark Pursuers' Desperate Counterattack

Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan had just obtained the Nine Heavens Profound Iron and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when the powerful dark aura surged towards them like a raging tide. Zhang Peng's expression changed drastically. He quickly put the Nine Heavens Profound Iron into his storage bag, stood up, and warily surveyed his surroundings. Xia Lijuan also quickly got up and stood beside Zhang Peng, her hands trembling slightly, her eyes filled with terror.

"Zhang Peng, what... what is this aura? How can it be so terrifying?" Xia Lijuan's voice trembled noticeably as she gripped Zhang Peng's sleeve tightly, as if that would give her a sense of security.

Zhang Peng didn't answer. His eyes were fixed on the direction from which the aura came, his Golden Core realm spiritual energy rapidly circulating within his body, ready to deal with any impending danger. Soon, a group of figures dressed in black robes slowly emerged from the darkness. Leading them was a man with a ferocious face, a long scar on his face, and eyes that revealed ruthlessness and greed.

"Zhang Peng, you didn't expect to run into me here. Hand over the Nine Heavens Profound Iron, and I'll spare your lives!" the man said viciously, his voice echoing through the valley, filled with oppressive force.

Zhang Peng sneered, "You think you're worthy of the Nine Heavens Profound Iron?" He met the man's gaze without fear, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

The man's face darkened: "Hmph, if you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me for being impolite!" He waved his hand, and the men in black robes behind him immediately dispersed, surrounding Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan.

Xia Lijuan's heart tightened, and she instinctively moved closer to Zhang Peng: "Zhang Peng, what do we do? There are so many of them."

Zhang Peng said in a low voice, "Don't panic, play it by ear." As he spoke, he quietly channeled his spiritual energy into the ground beneath his feet, preparing to launch a surprise attack.

The battle was about to begin. The men in black robes unleashed dark magic, and black light, like dark clouds, pressed down on Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan. Zhang Peng used the power of the Dragon Ball, and golden light instantly bloomed, forming a sturdy shield that blocked the attack of the dark magic.

"Is that all you've got?" Zhang Peng sneered, unleashing a powerful sword aura that shot towards the black-robed man. Wherever the sword aura struck, the black-robed man scattered in disarray.

Upon seeing this, the man's face darkened to an almost unbearable grimness. He personally intervened, unleashing a bizarre, forbidden dark technique. Countless black runes appeared around his body, shimmering with an eerie light and emitting a powerful suction force.

"Be careful, this forbidden technique is strange!" Zhang Peng shouted, immediately pulling Xia Lijuan back quickly. However, the suction force was too strong, and the two of them were still involuntarily pulled in.

Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, resisting the suction force with all his might. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he fused the five elements' spiritual power within his body with the power of the Dragon Ball, unleashing a move called "Five Elements Revolving." Golden light and the power of the five elements intertwined, forming a huge vortex of spiritual power that countered the suction force of the forbidden dark technique.

Under the influence of the spiritual energy vortex, cracks began to appear in the runes of the forbidden dark magic. The man's expression changed drastically; he hadn't expected Zhang Peng to be able to break his forbidden magic. "Damn it, kill them all!" he roared angrily.

The men in black robes launched another attack, and Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan were locked in a fierce battle. While fending off the attacks, Zhang Peng searched for an opportunity to break through. Suddenly, he noticed a gap in the men's encirclement.

"Xia Lijuan, come with me!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing his full power as he charged towards the opening. Xia Lijuan followed closely behind him, and the two of them broke through the black-robed men's encirclement like lightning.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Upon seeing this, the man immediately gave chase. Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan fled desperately through the mountains and forests, with the dark pursuers close behind.

Just as they were feeling somewhat overwhelmed, Zhang Peng suddenly spotted a cave ahead. An idea struck him, and he decided to use the cave's terrain to stall his pursuers.

"Into the cave!" Zhang Peng shouted, and the two rushed into the cave. The cave was dark and damp, filled with a putrid stench. Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan hid behind a boulder, holding their breath and waiting for their pursuers to arrive.

Soon, the man led the men in black robes into the cave. They cautiously searched forward, their weapons gleaming coldly. Zhang Peng quietly gathered his spiritual power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

As the black-robed men approached the boulder, Zhang Peng suddenly launched an attack. He unleashed a full-force strike at the Golden Core stage, the golden light instantly illuminating the entire cave. Caught off guard by this sudden attack, the black-robed men collapsed to the ground.

The man reacted quickly, immediately casting a dark shield to block Zhang Peng's attack. "Zhang Peng, do you think you can defeat me like this?" His eyes were filled with anger and resentment.

Zhang Peng remained silent. He unleashed another powerful spell, engaging the man in a fierce battle. In the cramped cave, their spells collided, creating a dazzling light, and the cave walls trembled, causing rocks to fall from the walls.

After a fierce battle, Zhang Peng finally found the man's weakness. He unleashed a move called "Dragon Flame Strike," golden flames carrying a devastating force that struck the man. The man let out a scream, his body flying backward and crashing heavily into the cave wall.

Having dealt with the man, Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan quickly left the cave. They knew the dark forces wouldn't let it go, and they had to return to Suzhou as soon as possible.
