Dapeng's Time Travel Life

Chapter 226 The Truth Gradually Revealed in a Desperate Clash

Ai Yuhang scrambled to his feet, blood trickling from his mouth, his face a mask of resentment and madness. He glared fiercely at Zhang Peng and roared, "Zhang Peng, you think you can win like this? How naive! Even if I die here today, you'll never know the whole truth!"

Zhang Peng held a five-colored spiritual energy longsword and looked at him coldly: "You have no way out. Confess obediently, and perhaps I can spare your life."

Ai Yuhang let out a piercing laugh, filled with despair and mockery: "A way out? Do you think I'd believe that? Today it's either you or me who dies!" As soon as he finished speaking, he plunged the black longsword in his hand into the ground. The surrounding dark mist instantly surged like a boiling black tide, forming a huge dark vortex around him.

"Oh no, he's going to fight to the death!" Wang Yongli shouted, quickly leading the Qingyun Sect disciples to retreat while simultaneously casting defensive spells to form a spiritual energy barrier to protect everyone.

Zhang Peng sensed the immense power contained within the dark vortex and became secretly vigilant. He activated the Chaos Spirit Technique, raising his spiritual power to its limit, and multicolored light shone around him, forming a stark contrast with the dark vortex.

Ai Yuhang stood in the center of the vortex, his hands flailing wildly as he chanted incantations. Black tentacles surged forth from the dark vortex, lunging towards Zhang Peng and the others. These tentacles were as hard as iron, uprooting trees and shattering rocks wherever they went.

Zhang Peng unleashed a defensive move from the Chaos Spirit Technique, forming a five-colored shield in front of him to block the attacks of the black tentacles. Each time a tentacle struck the shield, it produced a dull thud, making Zhang Peng's arm go numb. But he gritted his teeth and refused to back down.

Xia Lijuan also joined the battle, unleashing her "Phantom Butterfly Dance." The butterflies shimmered with multicolored light in the dark mist, colliding with the black tentacles. While the butterflies' light was beautiful, it was no match for the relentless onslaught of tentacles.

"Zhang Peng, this can't go on, his strength is getting stronger and stronger!" Xia Lijuan shouted anxiously.

Zhang Peng stared intently at Ai Yuhang, trying to find a weakness in him. Suddenly, he noticed a flicker of pain in Ai Yuhang's eyes as he manipulated the dark vortex, as if he were under immense pressure.

“His power is not inexhaustible; this dark vortex must have its weaknesses!” Zhang Peng’s heart stirred. He carefully observed the operating rules of the dark vortex and finally discovered that in the center of the vortex, there was a faint black rune that flickered with an eerie light. It was the core of the entire dark vortex’s power.

"Listen up, everyone! Concentrate your forces and attack the rune at the center of the vortex!" Zhang Peng shouted.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yongli, Xia Lijuan, and the others immediately adjusted their attack direction, combining their spells and shooting them towards the center of the dark vortex. In an instant, light flashed, and various spiritual energies intertwined, forming a powerful force that surged towards the black runes.

Ai Yuhang realized the group's intentions and his face turned deathly pale. He frantically manipulated the dark vortex, trying to stop their attack. The black tentacles, as if possessed, frantically attacked Zhang Peng and the others' defenses.

"Hold on, we're almost there!" Zhang Peng shouted. He unleashed his full power, pushing the Chaos Spirit Technique to its limit. A five-colored light, carrying a world-destroying aura, struck the black rune first.

With a deafening boom, the black runes shattered instantly, and the dark vortex dissipated. Ai Yuhang let out a desperate scream as his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, barely breathing.

Zhang Peng and the others quickly surrounded Ai Yuhang. Zhang Peng squatted down and looked at Ai Yuhang: "Now, you can tell the truth, right?"

Ai Yuhang raised his head, looking at Zhang Peng. The madness in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by endless fear and despair. He spoke with difficulty, "You...you think defeating me can stop everything? The real mastermind...is far more powerful than you imagine..."

Just then, a black light suddenly emanated from Ai Yuhang's body, and his eyes became empty and lifeless. "Oh no, he's been controlled!" Zhang Peng was shocked and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

Ai Yuhang suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood, and then his body slowly turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.
