Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 278 Desperate Counterattack: Mysterious Help

Zhang Peng's spiritual sword clashed fiercely with the cold-faced man's, sparks flying and the powerful impact cracking the surrounding ground. Zhang Peng felt the heavy, cold power emanating from the man's sword; each exchange sent shivers down his spine. But his gaze remained resolute, his chaotic energy surging within him, continuously flowing into his sword, resulting in a stalemate between them.

Xia Lijuan was also caught in a fierce battle. Several Golden Core cultivators tightly bound her, and various spells attacked her like a dense rain of arrows. She used her movement techniques to dodge while fighting back with fire spells, but she was still grazed by several spells, leaving shallow wounds on her body.

"Brother Peng, this can't go on!" Xia Lijuan cried out anxiously, her voice tinged with exhaustion. Zhang Peng was frantic upon hearing this; he knew they were in dire straits and needed to find a way out as soon as possible.

At this critical moment, Zhang Peng suddenly sensed a mysterious power emanating from the depths of the ruins. This power was both gentle and strong, resonating subtly with the chaotic energy within him. A thought struck him, and he realized that this might be the key to their escape from this predicament.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath, circulated the Chaos Spirit Technique, and fully mobilized the chaotic power within his body to resonate with that mysterious force. In an instant, he felt his strength greatly increased, and the heavy pressure he had been under was also greatly reduced.

"Drink!" Zhang Peng roared, unleashing the "Chaos Annihilation Slash," his strongest attack combining the power of chaos with his newfound understanding. A five-colored light, imbued with boundless chaotic power, slashed towards the cold-faced man like a bolt of lightning.

The man's expression changed drastically; he had never seen such power before. He hurriedly mobilized all his spiritual energy, forming a multi-layered defense in front of him. However, Zhang Peng's "Chaos Annihilation Slash" was unstoppable, easily penetrating layer after layer of defense and finally striking the man.

"Ah!" The man screamed in agony as his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall. The wall collapsed instantly, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, the other cultivators were terrified, and their attacks became chaotic. Taking advantage of the situation, Xia Lijuan unleashed her "Flame Burst Technique," a huge ball of flame exploding in the middle of the enemy, blasting away the surrounding cultivators.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan broke through the encirclement and ran deeper into the ruins. After a brief moment of panic, the enemy caught up with them again.

The two weaved through the ruins, trying to shake off their enemies. Just as they felt their strength was about to run out, a stone door emitting a soft glow appeared ahead. Without thinking, Zhang Peng grabbed Xia Lijuan and rushed inside.

The stone door slowly closed behind them, keeping the enemy out. Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan leaned against the stone door, panting heavily. They looked around and found themselves in a quiet stone chamber, with a huge statue in the center.

The statue depicts an elderly man in a long robe, with a kind face and profound wisdom in his eyes. In the statue's hand, he holds a bead that emits a faint glow; it is this bead that released the mysterious power from before.

Zhang Peng and Xia Lijuan slowly walked to the statue. Zhang Peng sensed the powerful energy contained within the bead, and his heart was filled with doubt. He activated his "Spiritual Eye," attempting to perceive the mysteries within the bead. Suddenly, the bead shone brightly, and a beam of light shot towards Zhang Peng's forehead.
