Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 137 The Shocking Change at the End of the Passage

The woman who appeared before everyone's eyes was dressed in a plain white robe. Her hair was disheveled, and her face showed some signs of fatigue, but her beautiful features were still undeniable. Her eyes were filled with panic and fear, but when she saw Zhang Peng and the others, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and she staggered towards them.

"Save me..." the woman's voice trembled, choked with sobs.

Zhang Peng and the others rushed forward and helped the woman up. Zhang Peng, with his keen eyes, sensed that the woman's spiritual energy was disordered, as if she had suffered a great shock. "Miss, what are you doing here? What happened?" he asked softly, his tone full of concern.

The woman, panting heavily, tried to calm herself before saying, "My name is Shen Yue. I was originally a cultivator from a nearby village. I was kidnapped by a mysterious organization, and they are plotting something terrible in this valley..." Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes still held a trace of fear.

Zhang Peng frowned, his unease growing stronger. "What conspiracy does this mysterious organization have here? Tell me slowly, young lady."

Shen Yue took a deep breath and slowly said, "They are searching for an ancient power, which is said to be able to break the seal of the forbidden gate and release an even more powerful evil force. For the past few days, they have been performing an evil ritual in the secret chamber at the end of this passage. I escaped while they weren't paying attention, but I got lost in this passage..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. Li Ming clenched his fists and said angrily, "These despicable bastards, they still won't give up!"

Zhang Peng knew in his heart that the situation was more critical than he had imagined. He reassured Shen Yue, "Miss Shen, don't worry, we will definitely stop them. You rest here for a while, we'll go and deal with the remnants of these mysterious organizations."

Shen Yue nodded slightly and stepped aside. Zhang Peng and the others continued towards the end of the passage, their vigilance at its peak. As they went deeper, a strong, nauseating stench of blood assaulted their senses.

Finally, they reached the end of the passage, where a massive stone door stood tightly shut. The door was covered in twisted runes, emitting an eerie light that seemed to whisper of the evil secrets behind it. Zhang Peng stepped forward, attempting to push the door open, only to find it sealed by a powerful force.

"It seems they were prepared," Zhang Peng said. He mobilized the power of the four divine artifacts, attempting to break the seal. The multicolored light collided with the runes on the stone gate, producing a "sizzling" sound.

Just as Zhang Peng was struggling to break the seal, a sinister laugh suddenly came from behind the stone door. "Trying to stop us? You're dreaming!" a cold voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, the stone door trembled slowly, and a powerful force surged out from behind it, forcing Zhang Peng and the others back several steps. The stone door slowly opened, and a group of men in black robes filed out, exuding a strong aura of evil, their weapons gleaming coldly.

"We've finally waited for you." The leader of the black-robed men said coldly, his face also covered by a ferocious mask, revealing only a pair of eyes filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Peng's expression was cold and stern. He levitated the four divine artifacts around him, radiating a powerful aura. "Your conspiracy will not succeed. Today is your doomsday!"

The man in black robes sneered and quickly formed hand seals. In an instant, the surrounding space distorted, and countless black vines burst forth from the ground, wrapping around Zhang Peng and the others. These vines were covered with sharp thorns, emitted a black mist, and made a sizzling, corrosive sound when they touched the air.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er immediately used wood-based magic to try and resist the black vines. Her vines intertwined with the black vines, engaging in a fierce battle. However, the black-robed man's power was too great, and Lin Wan'er gradually began to struggle.

Li Ming brandished his longsword and charged towards the black-robed man, the spiritual energy on the sword surging violently. His swordsmanship was fierce, attempting to break through the black-robed man's defenses. However, the black-robed men were perfectly coordinated, their attacks surging like a tidal wave, making it difficult for Li Ming to defend himself.

Su Yao and Liu Ruyan also joined the battle. Su Yao used ice magic to freeze the surrounding air, attempting to slow down the black-robed man's attack speed. Liu Ruyan, on the other hand, used her unique swordsmanship; purple sword energy flashed in the darkness like a brilliant bolt of lightning.

Zhang Peng focused his mind and discovered that the black-robed man's power seemed to be closely connected to the runes on the stone gate. He decided to sever their connection with the runes first, and then deliver the fatal blow.

Zhang Peng mobilized the spiritual power of the five elements, integrating it into the surrounding space. Using the power of the five elements as a medium, he attempted to disrupt the power of the runes. With his efforts, the light of the runes on the stone gate began to flicker erratically, and the power of the black-robed man weakened accordingly.

"Now!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing his full power to fuse the power of the four divine artifacts together, forming a powerful five-colored light that shot towards the man in black robes.

The black-robed men's expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly mobilized their spiritual power, attempting to withstand this fatal blow. However, Zhang Peng's power was too great; the multicolored light instantly pierced through their defenses and struck the leader of the black-robed men.

The leader of the black-robed men let out a scream, his body flying backward and crashing heavily into the stone door. Seeing this, the other black-robed men panicked and their formation crumbled.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng and his group launched an attack, forcing the black-robed man into a retreat. Just as they were about to achieve victory, a strong energy fluctuation suddenly emanated from behind the stone door. Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to see the stone door slowly opening, and a powerful evil force surging out from within.
