Chapter 186 Peak Showdown Turns the Tide
Zhang Peng confronted the mysterious man, and the surrounding dark forces soldiers quickly retreated, clearing a space. The mysterious man exuded a dense aura of darkness, which surged and rolled like a tangible substance, seemingly threatening to devour everything around him.
"Zhang Peng, do you think you can destroy my catapult by yourself? You're delusional!" The mysterious man's voice was deep and cold, filled with endless mockery.
Zhang Peng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly, "Then let's try it!" He stared at the mysterious man without fear, his Golden Core realm spiritual power surging wildly within his body, and the power of the Dragon Pearl was constantly gathering.
The mysterious figure launched the first attack. His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and in an instant, countless black runes flew from his hands like a swarm of black bats, rushing towards Zhang Peng. Wherever the runes passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
Zhang Peng dared not be careless. He unleashed the earth elemental power from the Five Elements spiritual power, condensing a thick earthen wall in front of him. The black runes struck the earthen wall, producing a series of loud noises. The earthen wall trembled violently, and cracks appeared on its surface.
"Is that all you've got?" Taking advantage of the gap in the earthen wall's defense against the runes, Zhang Peng unleashed a golden sword aura, shooting it towards the mysterious man. The sword aura sliced through the air like lightning, carrying a sharp and fierce momentum.
The mysterious man sneered, raising his hand slightly, and a dark shield instantly appeared before him. The sword energy struck the shield, sending sparks flying, but it couldn't advance any further. "Zhang Peng, your strength is nothing but an ant before me!" the mysterious man laughed arrogantly.
Zhang Peng's heart sank. He knew the mysterious man's strength far surpassed his own, but he was unwilling to give up. He concentrated his mind, fusing the power of the Dragon Ball, the five elements' spiritual power, and the power of the laws he had comprehended in battle. In an instant, a colorful vortex of spiritual energy appeared around his body, containing immense power that seemed capable of crushing everything.
"This is..." A hint of surprise flashed in the mysterious man's eyes. He sensed an unprecedented threat.
Zhang Peng roared and pushed the vortex of spiritual energy towards the mysterious man. The vortex, accompanied by a whistling wind, instantly enveloped the mysterious man. The mysterious man's expression changed drastically; he hurriedly unleashed his full power to defend himself. Dark power collided with the five-colored spiritual energy, erupting in a blinding light that illuminated the entire battlefield.
Amidst the light, Zhang Peng seized the opportunity to rush towards the catapult. He unleashed his strongest attack, the golden light carrying a world-destroying force, striking the catapult. "Boom!" The catapult was instantly destroyed, fragments scattering everywhere.
"No!" The mysterious man roared angrily, not expecting Zhang Peng to actually destroy his catapult. Ignoring the struggle against the vortex of spiritual energy, he charged towards Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng had just destroyed the catapult and hadn't even had time to catch his breath when the mysterious man rushed in front of him. The mysterious man used a forbidden dark technique, and a huge black vortex appeared around his body, from which came eerie howls that sent chills down everyone's spine.
Zhang Peng felt a powerful suction force coming from the black vortex, and his body was involuntarily pulled towards it. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the suction, but he gradually became powerless.
Just as Zhang Peng was in dire straits, Lin Wan'er on the city wall was extremely anxious. Seeing Zhang Peng's perilous situation, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She unleashed the strongest move of her wood-based magic—"The Descent of the Tree of Life."
A colossal Tree of Life rose from the city wall, its trunk incredibly thick, its branches laden with vibrant green leaves that shimmered with the light of life. The Tree of Life's roots spread rapidly, reaching towards Zhang Peng.
The roots of the Tree of Life pierced through the black vortex, tightly binding Zhang Peng before forcefully pulling him back. Freed from the vortex's pull, Zhang Peng landed heavily on the ground.
"Zhang Peng, are you alright?" Lin Wan'er called out anxiously.
Zhang Peng struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine, thank you, Wan'er!"
Seeing Zhang Peng rescued, the mysterious man's anger reached its peak. "Since that's how it is, then don't blame me for being impolite!" he shouted, preparing to launch an even more powerful attack.
However, at that moment, a mysterious light suddenly appeared in the sky above Su City. Within the light, a figure slowly emerged. Upon closer inspection, everyone recognized him as Elder Xuanfeng.
