Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 232 Fierce Battle, Turning Point in Desperate Situation

Zhang Peng streaked through the cave like a rainbow of light, the black-clad man's magical attacks relentlessly pursuing him. He moved with agility, constantly changing direction, skillfully dodging each deadly dark spell. Black flames grazed his clothes, the smell of burning filling the air, but he showed no sign of retreat, his mind focused on only one thing: finding the source of the mysterious power and breaking this bizarre situation.

Deep within the cave, the darkness grew ever denser, and the fluctuations of the mysterious power intensified. Zhang Peng felt a powerful sense of oppression wash over him, as if an invisible pair of eyes were watching him from the shadows. Suddenly, a massive circular magic circle appeared before him, shimmering with an eerie black light—the very point where the mysterious power of the entire cave converged.

"This is it!" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Peng's eyes. He rushed over without hesitation, ready to destroy the magic array. However, the moment he approached the array, countless black vines suddenly surged out from it, like a group of hungry venomous snakes, frantically coiling around him.

Zhang Peng's expression changed slightly. He quickly unleashed the Chaos Spirit Technique, gathering five-colored spiritual energy in his hand into a sharp longsword, and slashed fiercely at the vines. The vines were incredibly resilient; each strike only left a shallow mark, and the severed vines quickly grew back, continuing to coil towards him.

"What the hell is this?!" Zhang Peng cursed inwardly, realizing that this magic array was far more powerful than he had imagined. At this moment, his spiritual energy was being greatly depleted, while the vines continued to emerge, making the situation increasingly unfavorable for him.

Meanwhile, the battle between Wang Yongli and Cao Long had reached a fever pitch. Cao Long employed a strange movement technique, his figure flickering like a ghost, constantly waving his black staff and unleashing a barrage of dark spells at Wang Yongli. Although Wang Yongli fought back fiercely, he was still struck several times by the spells, his clothes stained with blood.

"Wang Yongli, you are no match for me. If you know what's good for you, surrender now, and I might spare your life!" Cao Long laughed arrogantly.

Wang Yongli gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage: "Cao Long, you traitor! Even if I die, I will never submit to you!" With that, he unleashed the ultimate technique of the Qingyun Sect, and a powerful spiritual force erupted from his body, rushing towards Cao Long.

Cao Long's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected Wang Yongli to unleash such a powerful attack despite being at such a disadvantage. He quickly conjured a dark shield to block Wang Yongli's attack. With a loud "boom," cracks appeared in the shield under the powerful impact, and Cao Long was also forced back several steps.

"Hmph, you've got some skill, but it's not enough!" Cao Long sneered, plunging his black staff into the ground and chanting incantations. Instantly, the entire cave began to shake violently, cracks appeared in the ground, and lava gushed out, spreading towards Wang Yongli and the other men in black.

"Not good, everyone be careful!" Wang Yongli shouted. He quickly cast a spell to create a defensive barrier around himself and the Qingyun Sect disciples to resist the invasion of the magma.

Just when everyone was in dire straits, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a familiar presence coming from outside the cave. A thought struck him; he realized Xia Lijuan had arrived.

"Xia Lijuan, come help me!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing Zhang Peng's shout, Xia Lijuan immediately unleashed her full power, rushing deeper into the cave. She used the "Phantom Butterfly Dance," and countless colorful butterflies danced in the cave. Wherever they went, the dark power dissipated, and the black vines were severed by the light of the butterflies, gradually withering away.

"Zhang Peng, I'm here!" Xia Lijuan came to Zhang Peng's side, her eyes full of concern. "This magic array is too powerful. Let's think of a solution together."

Zhang Peng nodded: "Okay, let's attack the core of the magic array together."

The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously unleashed their full power, concentrating their spiritual energy and shooting it towards the core of the magic array. A beam of five-colored light, carrying immense force, struck the core of the array. With a deafening roar, the array instantly exploded, the powerful shockwave sending Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan flying.

As the magic array shattered, the mysterious power within the cave instantly dissipated. Cao Long's dark magic, deprived of its spiritual energy support, was greatly weakened. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Yongli unleashed a fatal blow; a beam of light struck Cao Long in the chest. Cao Long let out a scream, his body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground.
