Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 216 Turning the Tide and Resolving the Crisis

Black cracks spread wildly across the sky, and dark power surged forth from them like a raging tide, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield. Zhang Peng looked up at the sky swallowed by darkness, his brow furrowed, his heart filled with vigilance. He knew that the Shadow Hall had come prepared this time, and this battle was far more difficult than he had imagined.

"Patriarch, what... what's going on?" Wang Yongli's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with panic as he looked at the crack.

Zhang Peng took a deep breath and said calmly, "Don't panic, hold the formation! No matter what tricks they play, we can't lose our composure." As he spoke, he fully activated the Chaos Spirit Technique, continuously channeling five-colored spiritual energy into his body to form an even stronger defensive barrier around himself and his disciples.

From the darkness, a colossal black shadow slowly emerged. As the shadow became clearer, everyone was shocked to realize that it was a gigantic demonic beast surrounded by black flames. Its body was as large as a mountain, and each breath was accompanied by billowing smoke. Its blood-red vertical pupils flashed with a brutal and bloodthirsty light.

"This is... the Fiery Hellhound!" Zhang Peng's heart sank as he recognized the beast's origin. The Fiery Hellhound was a descendant of ancient demonic beasts, possessing powerful dark fire elemental abilities that ordinary cultivators would find difficult to withstand.

"Hahahaha, Zhang Peng, now you've seen how powerful we are! With the Fiery Hellhounds unleashed, you will all perish here today!" The leader of the Shadow Hall let out a wild laugh, his ferocious mask appearing even more sinister and terrifying in the darkness.

The Fiery Hellhound roared, opening its blood-red maw, and spewed a pillar of black flame toward Zhang Peng and the others. Wherever the flame pillar passed, trees instantly turned to ash, and the ground was scorched with a deep trench.

"Everyone be careful!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing his full power to maximize the strength of the five-colored spiritual energy shield. The black flame pillar struck the shield, producing a deafening sound, and ripples spread across the surface of the shield, threatening to shatter at any moment.

Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, sweat beading on his forehead. He knew the shield wouldn't last long. He turned to Wang Yongli and his disciples, shouting, "We can't just sit here and wait to die! Attack its eyes and abdomen together—those are its weak points!"

The disciples of the Qingyun Sect nodded in agreement, suppressing their fear as they unleashed their respective spells. In an instant, various spiritual lights flickered in the darkness, shooting towards the Fiery Hellhound.

Enraged by the group's attacks, the Fiery Hellhound roared madly, swinging its massive claws as it lunged at the Qingyun Sect disciples. Each attack carried immense power, making it difficult for them to defend themselves.

Seeing this, Zhang Peng was extremely anxious. He suddenly remembered a magical artifact he had previously seized from the dark forces—the Demon-Slaying Pearl. This pearl was said to have the ability to suppress dark power, and perhaps it could come in handy.

Zhang Peng swiftly pulled out the Demon-Slaying Pearl from his robes and infused it with spiritual power. The Demon-Slaying Pearl instantly shone brightly, and a powerful purifying force surged from it, resisting the dark power.

"Now!" Zhang Peng shouted, unleashing the strongest strike of the Chaos Spirit Technique. A five-colored light, carrying the purifying power of the Demon-Slaying Pearl, shot towards the eyes of the Fiery Hellhound.

The Fiery Hellhound sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but the light was too fast and struck its eyes instantly. "Agh!" The Fiery Hellhound let out a painful howl, its body trembling violently, and its black flames dimmed considerably.

Wang Yongli and his disciples seized the opportunity and unleashed their full power, raining down various spells upon the Fiery Hellhound. Under the onslaught, the Fiery Hellhound gradually lost its ability to resist and finally collapsed to the ground, motionless.

The Shadow Hall members panicked when they saw the Fiery Hellhound defeated. "Retreat!" Seeing the situation was dire, the Shadow Hall leader hurriedly ordered a retreat.

How could Zhang Peng let them go? He unleashed his full power, leading his disciples in a pursuit. After a fierce battle, the members of the Shadow Hall fled in disarray, leaving behind a devastated battlefield.

Zhang Peng and the others breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. The battle had exhausted their physical and spiritual energy, but they had successfully protected the spirit stone mine.

"Master, we won!" Wang Yongli said excitedly, tears of joy glistening in his eyes.

Zhang Peng smiled slightly: "Yes, we won. But this is only temporary. There will be more challenges in the future. We must strengthen our family's power as soon as possible and protect this mine."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Under Zhang Peng's leadership, the disciples of the Qingyun Sect began clearing the battlefield and treating their wounded comrades. At the same time, they strengthened the defenses of the spirit stone mine to prevent further attacks from other forces.
