Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 270 Fierce Battle Under the Shadows, Dawn First Appears

Zhang Peng's sword strike, imbued with the power of chaos, cleaved through the darkness, aiming directly at the core of the Shadow Palace Master's spiritual energy circulation. Sensing the deadly threat, the Palace Master's pupils constricted, and dark power surged wildly around him, attempting to withstand this fierce attack. He swiftly conjured a black shield before him, composed of dense dark spiritual energy, its surface shimmering with an eerie dark light, like an indestructible barrier.

"Boom!" The five-colored spiritual energy sword collided violently with the black shield, unleashing a deafening roar. The powerful impact spread outwards, instantly overturning tables and chairs in the hall and tearing deep cracks in the ground. Zhang Peng felt a tremendous force of recoil, which made his arms numb and caused him to involuntarily take a few steps back.

The Shadow Palace Master was also badly injured. The force of the attack caused his blood to surge, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. But he quickly regained his footing, a sinister glint in his eyes: "Kid, you've got some skill, but it's far from enough!" With that, he moved his hands rapidly in the air, chanting incantations.

As he moved, the dark power within the hall grew increasingly intense, as if countless dark creatures were roaring within it. Suddenly, countless black tentacles emerged from the darkness, reaching out to entangle Zhang Peng and the other cultivators. These tentacles were thick and tough, their surfaces covered in sharp spikes, corroding and distorting the air wherever they touched.

Zhang Peng unleashed his "Phantom Steps," his figure moving like lightning, nimbly weaving through the tentacles. He dodged attacks while searching for an opportunity to counterattack. The other cultivators also unleashed their own spells, engaging in a fierce battle with the tentacles. For a time, the hall was filled with flashing light and the deafening roar of spells.

"This can't go on!" Zhang Peng thought to himself. He knew that this passive defense would only deplete everyone's spiritual energy; they had to take the initiative. He took a deep breath, circulated his chaotic power, and gathered it all into his right hand. At this moment, his right hand was enveloped in chaotic energy, radiating a mysterious and powerful light.

"Chaotic Annihilation Fist!" Zhang Peng roared and unleashed a powerful punch. This punch contained boundless chaotic power, like a small chaotic star, carrying an aura of world destruction as it smashed towards the Shadow Palace Master.

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

"Ah!" The Shadow Palace Master screamed in agony, his body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall of the hall. The wall collapsed instantly, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Zhang Peng gave the Shadow Palace Master no chance to catch his breath. He flashed to the Shadow Palace Master's side and thrust out his five-colored spiritual energy sword once more. The Shadow Palace Master's eyes widened in horror. With his last ounce of strength, he unleashed a dark barrier.

"Pfft!" The spiritual energy sword pierced through the dark barrier, striking the Shadow Palace Master in the chest. The Shadow Palace Master's body slowly collapsed, the light in his eyes gradually dimming until it was completely extinguished.

With the death of the Shadow Lord, the dark power within the hall rapidly dissipated, and the black tentacles vanished. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.

"Phew... It's finally over." Elder Li Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead, a relieved smile on his face.

Zhang Peng remained vigilant. He knew that although the Shadow Palace Master was dead, the spiritual energy crisis might not be truly over yet. He activated his "Spiritual Eye" to carefully sense the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations.

Sure enough, he noticed that although the purple mist in the sky had weakened somewhat, the abnormal fluctuations in spiritual energy continued. Moreover, he sensed that in the distance, an even more powerful dark force was quietly surging.
