Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 167 Encountering a Powerful Enemy Again, Daoist Couple Join Forces

Zhang Peng keenly sensed something amiss behind him and quickly turned around. He saw Pan Liwei walking towards him side by side with a cold-faced man. The newcomer was none other than his Daoist partner, the Fearless True Man Cui Mingjia, who had reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment realm. Cui Mingjia was tall and straight, his black robe fluttering in the wind. His cold face was devoid of any warmth, and the powerful aura emanating from him seemed to freeze the air.

"Kid, you didn't expect this, did you? You managed to escape last time, but today is your death day!" Pan Liwei's face was contorted with a ferocious smile, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge. He had held a grudge ever since his defeat in the valley last time, and this time he had brought Cui Mingjia here, determined to retrieve the map and make Zhang Peng and his men pay a heavy price.

Seeing this, Li Ming quickly gripped his longsword, stepped aside to block Zhang Peng and Lin Wan'er, and said warily, "Zhang Peng, this man is at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and his strength should not be underestimated."

Zhang Peng's expression was solemn. He knew the situation was dire, but there was no fear in his eyes. He immediately mobilized his spiritual power, the power of the Dragon Pearl surging through his meridians, and a soft golden light emanated from his body. "Li Ming, Lin Wan'er, let's fight side by side, we will definitely defeat them!"

Cui Mingjia snorted coldly and launched the first attack. He quickly formed hand seals, and a strange black flame instantly surged from his palms, sweeping towards Zhang Peng and the others like a roaring fire dragon. The black flame was extremely hot, and wherever it touched, the air was scorched and distorted, emitting a "sizzling" sound.

Zhang Peng dared not slacken his efforts in the slightest, unleashing the water elemental power from the Five Elements, instantly condensing it into a massive water curtain to block the black flames. Water and fire clashed violently, steam billowing and obscuring everyone's vision.

Taking advantage of the moment, Pan Liwei unleashed a dark spell, sending countless black spikes bursting from the ground like clusters of sharp fangs, swiftly stabbing towards Zhang Peng and the others. Lin Wan'er reacted quickly, immediately casting a wood-based spell to summon countless resilient vines that tightly bound the black spikes. For a moment, the vines and spikes were intertwined, locked in a fierce struggle.

"Hmph, you think you can stop us?" Cui Mingjia said with disdain, her hands rapidly drawing strange arcs in the air. One by one, black runes appeared out of thin air, carrying a sinister aura, and flew towards Zhang Peng and the others.

Zhang Peng focused intently, trying to find a flaw in the runes. He discovered that there was a mysterious connection between these runes; breaking this connection would break the spell. He decisively unleashed his lightning power, a bolt of purple lightning shooting from his palm, precisely striking the connection point between the runes.

With a deafening roar, the runes shattered instantly, turning into specks of black starlight that dissipated into the air. Cui Mingjia was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "You've got some skill, but that's far from enough!"

Pan Liwei seized the opportunity, his figure flashing as he approached Zhang Peng like a ghost. His black longsword, imbued with sharp sword energy, thrust straight at Zhang Peng's chest. Zhang Peng quickly dodged to the side, simultaneously channeling the power of the Dragon Ball, condensing it into a giant golden fist, and smashing it towards Pan Liwei.

Pan Liwei hurriedly raised his sword to defend, but the immense impact made his arm numb, and he staggered back several steps. Li Ming seized the opening and unleashed his signature sword technique, a dazzling sword light shooting towards Pan Liwei like lightning. Pan Liwei's expression changed drastically, and he hastily mobilized his dark power, forming a sturdy shield in front of him.

However, Li Ming's sword light was incredibly powerful, and the shield gradually cracked under its impact. Just then, Cui Mingjia suddenly attacked, unleashing a powerful dark force like a surging wave that knocked Li Ming's sword light away.

"Li Ming!" Zhang Peng shouted, but in that moment of distraction, Pan Liwei seized the opportunity and struck him on the shoulder with a dark spell. Zhang Peng groaned, swayed, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.

"Zhang Peng!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed, rushing to his side and channeling her spiritual energy to heal him.

"Never mind me, keep fighting!" Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and stood up again. He knew that he could not back down now, or all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Cui Mingjia looked at Zhang Peng, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes: "You've certainly got some skill to hold out this long against the combined attacks of me and Pan Liwei. But none of you will leave here alive today."

After speaking, Cui Mingjia and Pan Liwei exchanged a glance, understanding each other perfectly. They simultaneously unleashed their full power, preparing to launch a fatal attack. Zhang Peng took a deep breath; he knew the real battle to the death had only just begun. He concentrated all his energy, integrating the power of the Dragon Ball, the five elements, and the power of thunder, his body radiating brilliant light as he prepared for this life-or-death battle.
