My Beautiful Duchess Wife

In particular, both Greenbeard and Abaddon's faces darkened. Being hunted from the beginning was bad enough, but now, it seemed like neither side took them seriously.

Grimbu and the others knew Ostiel's strength; if he were to unleash it, he would be at least at the level of a Demon Lord. On their side, only the Serpent King and Medusa could truly suppress him!

But that's not all. What's most infuriating is that from the moment Rams joined the battle, the demons of the Dark Sage Guild acted like mere spectators.

It seemed that Lin Peng invited them over just to watch this exciting hunt! Abaddon, standing next to him, also looked listless.

Now, he realized the gap between his strength and that of a true master, and he also knew that all the power he held was meaningless in the face of such true strength.

Originally, he had a special fondness for power, but now he has become so serious about strength!

Lin Peng had already hovered and flown to Fario's side. Looking at Fario, who was still frothing at the mouth with blood, he forced a bitter smile. However, the stabbing pain in his heart made his smile more like a grimace!

"Why bother?"

His very first words made Fario laugh helplessly...

Chapter Ninety Spatial Passage

Yes, why bother? From the very beginning, we could have cooperated very well. It's truly unexpected that things have turned out this way!

Even Catches laughed at this moment: "Lin Peng, actually, we really can't blame you! Haha... From the very beginning, we misjudged your strength! Moreover, we didn't treat you as a true friend! How could someone with the Flame Demon bloodline be so easily killed by us?"

When the Flame Demon bloodline was mentioned, almost everyone was stunned for a moment. Even Rams looked at Lin Peng, his eyes filled with extreme shock.

Of course, truly powerful figures understand what the Flame Demon bloodline means. At the very least, future demon god masters will absolutely not be able to escape it!

“Arthur, I will spare his life! I never wanted to come to the City of Punishment anyway! Heh... It's really strange, from the beginning until now, I've never really taken Arthur seriously. In your eyes, he's a king! But in my eyes, he was just a friend worth making!”

Lin Peng spoke with difficulty, each word causing a sharp pain in his heart. Shia, feeling a pang of sympathy, pulled Lin Peng into a tight embrace, letting him lean against her soft skin for comfort.

Fario nodded, but he truly couldn't speak! The two of them were utterly exhausted. They didn't even have the strength to stand up.

He closed his eyes slightly, and the warmth within his body seemed to begin suppressing the toxins. At the same time, the waves of pain no longer felt as intense as before.

On the ground, flames slowly began to rise because Lin Peng had manipulated the fire element. After giving the two powerful demons one last look, Lin Peng smiled faintly and said, "Have a safe journey! When you reach the God of the Underworld, just say I killed them!"

Immediately, the scorching pillar of fire erupted, engulfing both demon emperors. It burned for over ten minutes before slowly extinguishing.

When the flames died down, only ashes remained of the two men. A gentle breeze stirred them up. Lin Peng squinted at their ashes, a strange sense of disgust washing over him. Was this really the life he wanted?

Lin Peng shook his head slightly, feeling a strange mix of emotions. He placed his hand on his heart, and the pain subsided somewhat.

In the sky, the battle at the level of a demon lord continued. However, as the red moon shone brightly, Ostil seemed to have truly exhausted himself, and in the end, he was swept down by the Serpent King's tail!

Boom...

A huge cloud of dust erupted, creating a massive crater in the hemlock forest. The Snake King chuckled, transforming into a small, green snake and coiling itself around Lin Peng's shoulder!

"So, I still won, right? Hehe..." The Snake King's voice trembled weakly as he spoke. Fighting a Demon Lord-level expert, although he could directly suppress him and force him to lose, the lack of a true physical body meant he was actually quite exhausted!

After all, this body is made of energy.

Smoke and dust slowly rose, forming a huge mushroom cloud in the sky! It drifted gently in all directions! Lin Peng and the others, along with the experts from the Dark Sage Guild, all gathered around the deep pit!

At this moment, Ostil's figure slowly appeared! His tall body disappeared, replaced by the appearance of an old man.

His once full head of brown hair has now turned completely white!

Looking at Lin Peng, a bitter smile played on his lips. At the same time, blood continued to gush out. It seemed he truly was at his limit! Clearly, using the secret technique had instantly boosted his combat power!

Furthermore, his strength was directly increased by a whole level. Such a side effect is quite significant. Perhaps, even without addressing it now, he's already doomed!

"Lin Peng, now I finally understand what Arthur meant!" Ostiel said weakly, clutching his heart.

Lin Peng smiled faintly, his eyes narrowing slightly. This was truly the first time he had ever spoken directly to this old leader. Moreover, it was the first time he had ever understood his character so clearly.

Now that they've lost, there's no complaining. Instead, they speak calmly and rationally. In terms of wisdom and composure, this old leader is quite competent.

However, just as Rams said, perhaps he really is getting old and has become more attached to power! And perhaps, he was originally a demon who loved power.

"What Arthur said, huh? I'm quite interested! It's just a pity, we could have cooperated well. Now, it seems that opportunity is gone!"

The old leader nodded slightly, then squinted at the sky: "Arthur said, never make an enemy of you. Either you have the certainty to kill you, or you must be prepared to die in battle! Heh... Now, that kid really guessed right! I just wonder if he's still alive!"

"If I live, at least I'll spare the lives of my former friends! Fario and Kachez are exceptions; they never considered me a true friend to begin with!"

Lin Peng said this in a serious tone, without the slightest hesitation.

Ostil's eyes lit up, as if he had actually found some hope! However, he then seemed to remember something, and his eyes dimmed.

Perhaps we should know that Masser is absolutely doomed!

"Rams, I really feel sorry for you about what happened back then! But you know my teacher's personality. And you should know my father's personality too. Two tigers are bound to fight. But... hehe, I never thought my teacher would still lose! Even with his immense strength, being surrounded by so many experts, he still lost in the end!"

Ostiel took a deep breath and said with a touch of nostalgia. Rams snorted coldly, his fist clenched so tightly that a thin stream of blood appeared!

"If it weren't for the fact that the teacher didn't want to use forbidden techniques to destroy Punishment City, everyone would have died! Hmph... That battle was entirely caused by the old chief; otherwise, Punishment City wouldn't have become the powerful city it is today!"

"Yes, the battle between the Dark Angels and the Angels of Light! It directly led to the current state of Punishment City! Hahaha... In that case, who was right and who was wrong?"

Ostil's laughter was very loud. The dust in the entire pit rose up once more! Lin Peng narrowed his eyes; a bad premonition was creeping in!

At the same time, the Snake King suddenly jolted awake, then seemed to stand up abruptly: "Damn it, this guy is going to self-destruct!" Just as he finished speaking, a deafening explosion rang out!

A massive mushroom cloud shot into the sky. Medusa grabbed Shia and Angelina with both hands.

A shield resembling a whirlwind appeared and spun around, carrying the three of them rapidly backward. Rams, meanwhile, flapped his wings backward at an even faster speed.

Dirk and Kobels were also captured by him.

Only Lin Peng and the Snake King, being too close to the pit, had no time to react. The Snake King immediately released its giant snake form and coiled around Lin Peng!

He enveloped Lin Peng directly within his body. However, the self-destruction of a Demon Lord-level expert was undeniably powerful! The impact was akin to a Demon Lord-level expert sacrificing their life in a full-force attack!

Instantly, the snake king's energy-based body was sent flying.

Streams of green energy spread outwards with the impact. At the moment the massive explosion sent Lin Peng and the Snake King flying outwards, the force of the explosion suddenly reversed and spun back.

Suddenly, a pitch-black hole appeared at the very center. The suction force was so strong that even the Snake King couldn't resist it. In an instant, both the man and the snake were sucked inside.

"Lin Peng!"

Shia froze, tears welling up in her eyes. Angelina opened her mouth, as if she had thought of something, and then hugged Shia tightly. She wouldn't let her break through the shield; at least, the suction force wasn't actually shaking it yet!

Medusa snorted coldly, grabbed Shia's hand, and said, "What are you afraid of? They might have gone to other dimensions. This is a spatial passage. I didn't expect this power to directly open a spatial barrier! I don't know if it's just good luck, or if such a powerful force has truly appeared!"

Medusa remained skeptical, looking around. Suddenly, a figure appeared in her sight, but vanished in the blink of an eye!

"Other dimensions?"

Shia was stunned, genuinely momentarily speechless! However, thinking of Lin Peng's injuries, she began to worry again. After a long while, seemingly almost an hour, the wind finally subsided.

At the same time, the black hole disappeared immediately!

Everyone emerged from their own defenses. The experts of the Dark Sage Guild were in the most pain; each of them appeared to be dressed in filthy, disheveled clothes.

Some even had their hair blown out of shape, looking like a bird's nest. They stared at the once deep pit, now resembling a small lake—it had suddenly become such a large crater!

A light rain began to fall from the sky. Each drop landed on the demons' faces, waking them all. Rams asked with some concern, "Lin Peng?"

"Don't worry, they'll probably be back soon!" Medusa still stared coldly in one direction, seemingly searching for something she couldn't quite understand...

Chapter 91 Another Time Travel?

Before the darkness fell, Lin Peng seemed to have encountered a child. A child who was always being bullied, and a stubborn child who silently endured the bullying.

This time, several tall young men seemed to be trying to snatch the child's food. This wheat cake was the child's last food of the week, so the child fought desperately for it. But how could a ten-year-old possibly outmaneuver those nearly twenty-year-old men?

He was beaten to the ground, his face a blur of blood. Finally, after spitting out a mouthful of blood, the child silently murmured something.

The overly small shirt was now covered in patches of bright red blood, as if it had seeped directly from the skin.

The young men stared intently at the little boy lying on the ground, seemingly terrified. They were even more afraid that the child would die.

One by one, they tried to turn the child's body over.

At that very moment, a blinding ray of sunlight made Lin Peng unable to open his eyes. He shielded his eyes with his hand and closed them! A warmth seemed to spread around him. The snake king's shadow on his shoulder vanished, seemingly disappearing into his own space in an instant.

Sunlight?

The moment those words crossed Lin Peng's mind, he froze. Then, he slowly opened his eyes. Before him lay a little boy lying on the ground, covered in blood!

Yes, it was the very figure that had appeared in Lin Peng's mind before the darkness. Always so lonely, always silently enduring everything—that little boy!

At this moment, the little boy seemed to have lost too much blood; his eyes were somewhat glazed. Lin Peng rushed forward and picked up the child. However, this aggravated the wound on his shoulder, and instantly, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

He casually took out a blue bottle from the ring and poured it into the child's mouth. Then, he looked at the group of young men.

At that moment, a passage came to mind.

"Give them back to me, or I'll summon demons and devour you all!"

"Haha...a demon? Haha...Klinks, are you overthinking this! Or are you planning to become one of those fallen dark cultists! Hahaha..."

Immediately, a fight broke out among the group. Then, the little boy was beaten so badly that he was covered in injuries. The child silently chanted a spell, each syllable penned deep into Lin Peng's heart.

It seemed that an impression had been added to his mind! After a moment of surprise, Lin Peng murmured, "A death sacrifice?" Looking at the boy who was slowly opening his eyes after drinking the recovery potion, a slight smile appeared on his lips. However, Lin Peng himself was unaware of it.

His entire body was now engulfed in flames. However, while holding the boy, these flames didn't actually harm him. Instead, some of the flames even penetrated directly into the child's body. After circling around, they returned to Lin Peng's body, and the boy's body warmed slightly after the flames entered.

"Little brat, what do you want? You've summoned this great demon king, so speak up!" He then revealed a rather wicked smile.

The little boy seemed startled, then exclaimed excitedly, "Are you the mighty Flame Demon Lord? Haha... Help me take down those guys!"

The little boy's words seemed incredibly innocent. Lin Peng saw extreme purity in his eyes—the kind of pure innocence devoid of any guile.

He chuckled and then turned to look at the young men who were still standing there, stunned. Just now, there seemed to be a flash of black light, and then a humanoid figure jumped out.

Then, with lightning speed, he picked up Klinks. Then, flames erupted from the entire humanoid creature. In a short time, the youths were indeed trembling, their legs seemingly unable to move! The sunlight was intense! Radiating down, it caused wisps of steam to rise from the entire ground.

Lin Peng chuckled, then casually waved his hand at the group of youths. Instantly, flames shot into the sky. Several streaks of fire suddenly transformed into massive pillars of fire.

After the towering pillar of fire erupted, it instantly engulfed the several youths. Without even a scream, they were reduced to ashes.

When the pillars of fire descended, not only were Klinks stunned, but even Lin Peng was completely taken aback. Looking at those pillars of fire, each about four or five meters in diameter, he suddenly became excited.

Demon Emperor level?

Looking at his hand, he casually squeezed it, and a wisp of flame shot out. Moreover, it carried a flame much hotter than before.
