Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 185 An Opportunity to Break the Stalemate on the Eve of the Fierce Battle

Inside the Zhang family's residence in Suzhou, the atmosphere was as heavy as the calm before a storm. In the weapon-refining room, the furnace roared, and Zhang Peng and the weapon refiners worked tirelessly day and night to study the fusion method of the Nine Heavens Profound Iron. The Nine Heavens Profound Iron was incredibly hard and contained mysterious power fluctuations; perfectly integrating it into defensive formations and weapons was no easy task.

"The spiritual power of this Nine Heavens Profound Iron is too domineering; our conventional refining methods simply cannot tame it." A white-haired refiner looked at the leaping Profound Iron in the furnace with a worried expression and shook his head helplessly.

Zhang Peng frowned deeply. He tried to guide the spiritual energy of the Xuan Tie with the power of the Dragon Ball, but each time he made contact, he was repelled by the powerful force. "Is there really no other way?" he muttered to himself, his eyes revealing his unwillingness.

Meanwhile, Lin Wan'er directed her family disciples on the city wall to reinforce the defenses. She continuously cast wood-based spells, making the defensive vines on the wall thicker and stronger, while also setting up various traps. "Everyone, give it your all! The dark forces could launch an attack at any moment, we must be fully prepared!" Her voice was firm and powerful, giving her disciples confidence.

Despite her physical limitations, Su Yao was busy working behind the scenes. She used her connections in Su City to gather intelligence and organize the city's residents to prepare for war. "Don't panic, everyone. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to defend Su City," she said gently, reassuring the people.

Xia Lijuan led a group of her family disciples, traversing the city to deliver supplies to the front lines. Her face was weary, but her eyes shone with determination. "We must get the supplies out quickly; everyone is waiting," she urged, quickening her pace.

While everyone was busy, in the camp of the dark forces, a mysterious figure shrouded in black robes was coldly watching Su Cheng. "Zhang Peng, let's see where you can run to this time." His voice was low and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.

The mysterious man turned to his men and said, "Prepare the siege equipment. Tomorrow morning, launch a full-scale attack!" His tone left no room for argument, and his men obeyed and left.

Back in Suzhou, after a night of hard work, Zhang Peng finally made a breakthrough. In one attempt, he discovered that fusing his five elements of spiritual power with the power of the Dragon Pearl in a specific order could resonate with the Nine Heavens Profound Iron. "This is the rhythm!" he shouted excitedly, and the weapon refiners all gathered around.

Under Zhang Peng's guidance, the spiritual power of the Nine Heavens Profound Iron was gradually tamed and began to merge with the core of the defensive formation. As the Profound Iron was integrated, the light of the defensive formation became even more dazzling, and a powerful energy fluctuation spread out. "Success!" Everyone cheered, their faces beaming with joy.

However, before they could celebrate for long, an urgent alarm sounded from the lookout on the city wall: "The dark forces have begun their operation!"

Zhang Peng and his group quickly reached the city wall, where they saw the dark forces' army surging in like a tide, their siege weapons gleaming coldly in the sunlight. "Everyone, take your positions and prepare for battle!" Zhang Peng shouted, and the family disciples grabbed their weapons, ready for battle.

The vanguard of the dark forces quickly reached the city walls, unleashing dark magic in an attempt to destroy the fortifications. Zhang Peng immediately activated the power of the Dragon Balls; the golden light collided with the dark magic, producing a deafening sound.

"Fire!" Lin Wan'er commanded, and the archers on the city wall unleashed a hail of arrows at the dark forces. The dark forces' soldiers raised their shields to defend themselves, but many were still struck by arrows and fell to the ground.

Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, Zhang Peng suddenly noticed something strange about one of the dark forces' siege weapons: a huge black catapult. Each time it launched a black boulder, it easily broke through the defensive formations and caused massive damage to the city walls.

"That catapult must be destroyed!" Zhang Peng decided to himself. He unleashed his powerful spiritual energy, preparing to personally leave the city to destroy the catapult. Seeing this, Lin Wan'er quickly said, "Zhang Peng, it's too dangerous! I'll go with you!"

Zhang Peng shook his head and said, "No, you stay here to command, I'll be right back!" After saying that, he leaped off the city wall and rushed towards the catapult.

Everyone on the city wall held their breath for Zhang Peng. He moved through the dark forces' ranks as if they were nothing, the power of the Dragon Balls erupting continuously in his hands, repelling all enemies who stood in his way. However, the dark forces also realized his intentions and dispatched a large number of experts to surround him.

Zhang Peng was caught in a fierce battle, and wounds gradually appeared on his body, but he did not back down, with only one belief in his heart: destroy the catapult! Just as he was about to reach the catapult, the mysterious man suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
