Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 492 The Shocking Change in the Valley and the Surprise Attack of Dark Forces

In the valley, Zhang Peng was immersed in exploring the fusion of the power of the radiant stars and the laws of chaos. His body was enveloped in starlight, within which chaotic power flowed like nimble threads. Guided by him, the two powerful forces gradually harmonized, producing a wondrous reaction. Murong Yu's swordplay grew increasingly swift, his Chaotic Breeze Sword techniques becoming more and more skillful, each strike seemingly capable of cleaving through the void. Liu Ruoli's flute music was melodious yet powerful, its sound waves echoing through the valley, drawing surrounding spiritual energy as if drawn by an invisible hand to converge around her. Su Yi concealed himself in the shadows, the aura of dark magic growing ever stronger; his figure appeared and disappeared in the darkness, seemingly merging with it.

Suddenly, a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from outside the valley, breaking the tranquility. Zhang Peng, who was cultivating, instantly opened his eyes, a flash of starlight passing through them. He sensed that although the fluctuation of spiritual energy was weak, it carried a dark aura, and he inwardly cried out in alarm. "Everyone be careful! People from the dark forces are approaching!" he shouted.

Murong Yu immediately sheathed his sword, wielding the Chaos Breeze Sword, and swiftly approached Zhang Peng, warily watching the valley entrance. Liu Ruoli stopped playing, her jade flute gripped tightly in her hand, ready to unleash a sonic spell at any moment. Su Yi emerged from the shadows, dark magic coalescing in his hand, his eyes revealing unwavering resolve.

At the entrance to the valley, a black figure slowly emerged—the same black-robed man who had inquired about the situation in the tavern. A smug smile played on his lips as he held a magical artifact radiating black light, its surface shimmering with runes, seemingly sensing something. "Hmph, finally found you!" the black-robed man said coldly.

Zhang Peng's expression turned solemn. He knew that this black-robed man was no ordinary person who had managed to find this place. He quickly activated the power of the Starry Sky, forming a star shield in front of him, and simultaneously unleashed the "Star Shattering Fist," blasting it towards the black-robed man. The fist whistled, carrying the immense power of the stars, as if countless stars had appeared in the air, crashing towards the black-robed man.

Seeing this, the man in black robes quickly brandished his magical artifact, unleashing a beam of black light that collided with the power of the stars. The light flashed, spiritual energy surged, and a deafening roar erupted. Taking advantage of the moment, Murong Yu unleashed his "Chaotic Breeze Demon-Slaying Whirlwind," a sharp sword aura slashing towards the man in black robes. The man dodged to the side, the sword aura grazing his robes and tearing a gash in his black garment.

Liu Ruoli played "Sonic Chaos Impact," and the sound waves transformed into tangible blades, shooting towards the black-robed man. The black-robed man activated a dark shield to defend against the sound wave attack. Su Yi then used a forbidden dark technique, enveloping the black-robed man in black light, attempting to weaken his power.

Under the combined attack of the four, the man in black robes gradually became unable to withstand it. His face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "I didn't expect your strength to improve so quickly!" the man in black robes said through gritted teeth.

Just as the men in black robes were preparing to retreat, a group of men in black robes suddenly surged into the valley. The leader was a tall man who exuded a powerful dark aura, clearly stronger than the other men in black robes. "Stop!" the man shouted.

Upon seeing the man, the man in black robes immediately said respectfully, "My lord, you have arrived."

The man glanced at the man in black robes, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "You can't even handle a few kids, what use are you!" With that, he shoved the man in black robes aside and walked towards Zhang Peng and the others.

"I am the protector of the dark forces, and today is your death day!" the man said coldly. He swiftly formed hand seals, and a powerful dark force surged from his body, forming a massive dark vortex in front of him. Countless black lightning bolts flashed within the vortex, hurtling towards Zhang Peng and the others.

Zhang Peng and the others' expressions changed drastically; they sensed the immense power of this dark force. Zhang Peng quickly reinforced the Star Shield, while Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, and Su Yi also unleashed their strongest defensive spells. The dark vortex crashed into their defenses, producing a deafening roar; the defensive light flickered violently, teetering on the verge of shattering…
