My Beautiful Duchess Wife

After taking seven or eight steps, his two-meter-tall body suddenly stopped. He gave a cold snort and then threw a torch towards the cave entrance. The torch immediately cast the shadow of a small, childlike figure.

However, in the moment the high-ranking demon was stunned, a figure as fast as the wind flew up and swept towards the high-ranking demon's neck with a whoosh. The high-ranking demon reacted extremely quickly, raising his longsword to block the attack.

But in a sudden, instantaneous moment, the high-ranking demon stared at the little girl before him with incredulous eyes. Because the knife hadn't even been raised. Could it be… an illusion? This was the last question he pondered, but as if without an answer, he slumped to the ground with a thud. A large, gaping hole in his neck gushed blood.

Chapter Thirty-Three: Burn, Flames!

Angelina didn't scream like a little girl at the sight of a dead body. Besides, she was the one who killed him. Her large, watery eyes swept coldly over the slaves who were about to scream, and with that one glance, all the slaves trembled, their jaws quivering, and they immediately stopped screaming.

Dressed in a black samurai outfit, she nimbly walked to the ore and snorted coldly, "Sit down, turn around, and don't say a word!"

The slaves, witnessing Angelina kill a high-ranking demon, trembled and slowly sat down, turning their backs to the wall. Then, Angelina seemed to have chosen a piece of amethyst, deftly hooking it into her hand: "I didn't expect it to be amethyst. This time, I've really struck gold!"

As they spoke, the amethyst crystals seemed to be under some kind of control. The amethyst crystals, which had been glowing, slowly dimmed in an instant. In the end, not a trace of purple remained.

All the purple seemed to have been absorbed. In its place, it was a crystal-clear white crystal.

Suddenly, a hint of purple seemed to flash in Angelina's eyes. That faint purple light changed the little girl's entire demeanor. After letting out a cold laugh, she picked up another piece of amethyst.

He closed his eyes as if he had done the same thing, but the amethyst crystal quickly turned into a white crystal.

……

By the time Angelina saw the mine, Lin Peng had already escaped the mountain stronghold. However, the Demon King-level leader and the Great Demon Captain were still hot on their heels. Of course, after running for so long, the Great Demon Captain had been shaken off. But the Demon King-level leader seemed to have become enraged, and his speed increased even further.

In the blink of an eye, it was a little closer to him again. Moreover, judging from its roaring appearance, Lin Peng was certain that if this guy caught up with him, he would be dead for good.

In perilous situations, he can always unleash two hundred percent of his power. Now, the flames beneath his feet, under Lin Peng's influence, have once again doubled in power. The next second, Lin Peng was even further away from that Demon King-level being.

"Stop right there, you rat!" The captain was so angry he almost bit his tongue. He pushed off with his feet and increased his speed again as if it were effortless.

Lin Peng laughed heartily and suddenly threw a scorching beam of light behind him. He stretched out his five fingers; if it weren't for the immense defensive power of the leader's black aura, he might have been injured by now. The invincible scorching beam of light, upon touching the black aura, or rather, the demonic flames, that enveloped him, immediately shattered into flames with a bang and vanished. It couldn't even burn a hair on his head.

As for the others, needless to say.

However, after unleashing the scorching beam of light, the captain became even angrier. Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed through the valley: "Explosive Slash! Die!"

The commander suddenly clasped his hands together and swung them forcefully at Lin Peng. The powerful black demonic flames transformed into a whirlwind, forming the shape of a battle blade, and shot towards Lin Peng's back.

It moved extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached Lin Peng's back.

Turning his head, Lin Peng could almost see that as the Demon Flame Battle Blade flew towards him, the grass and small shrubs turned to ashes. This was outrageous! If it had hit him, he would have been dead for sure.

His body seemed to twist instantly, the extreme difficulty causing him to fling himself away in that split second. With a soft thud, a gash appeared on his abdomen, while the demonic flame blade passed right by him and crashed into a giant tree in front of him.

Boom...

A tremendous roar rose once more, and the entire giant tree seemed to fly up. In the sky, the demonic flame battle blade seemed to tear through the tree, creating a whirlwind that shattered it into pieces.

Pieces of wood fell down with a thud, kicking up clouds of dust that covered Lin Peng's injured body.

Although I dodged it, I still got a cut in my abdomen. It wasn't very deep, but it wasn't shallow either. I could only see bright red blood slowly gushing down my leg.

The excruciating pain felt as if my entire abdomen was being torn apart.

His forehead was already covered in cold sweat. He squinted as he watched the Demon King-level expert approach him with a cold smile.

"Heh, before you die, can you tell me your name?" Lin Peng seemed to be breathing heavily, asking loudly. However, deep in his eyes was a cold, chilling light.

The captain walked slowly, step by step, as if he were no longer a threat, even withdrawing the demonic flames from his body. He approached Lin Peng with a cold smile, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "Magris, heh heh... Remember this, you died at the hands of Magris, the number one warrior under Young Master Jess!" As he spoke, a ball of demonic flame suddenly erupted from his right hand, its black glow shining brightly against the night sky.

The demonic flames slowly rose and eventually coalesced into a battle blade, which then slashed fiercely towards Lin Peng's neck. At this distance, Magris could even believe that he could see blood splattering under the beautiful moonlight.

However, reality often contradicts ideals. Lin Peng's eyes widened suddenly, and he slammed his hand on the ground, sliding sideways to the other side. Simultaneously, his other hand spread its five fingers, and five scorching beams of light shot out in an instant.

With three soft splattering sounds, three bloodstains appeared on Magris's chest. Then, as if there was no more blood, the splattering stopped, and he looked at Lin Peng with some disbelief.

When Lin Peng had glided about ten meters, Magris suddenly roared, "You bastard, you actually hurt the great Magris!" With that, he was already next to Lin Peng in a flash, kicking out with all his might with his right foot.

puff……

While still in mid-air, Lin Peng coughed up a mouthful of blood. His head was spinning, and at least five of his ribs had been broken. His entire chest felt like it was being shattered.

It crashed heavily to the ground, creating a huge crater. Under the cold moonlight, a biting chill swept over him. For the first time, Lin Peng actually felt cold. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth down his neck, and his breathing became rapid.

Magris didn't let Lin Peng off so easily. He reappeared at the edge of the pit, his狰狞 smile reminding Lin Peng of a demon. A bitter smile crossed Lin Peng's face, and he suddenly jolted awake: "So what if you're a demon? Even if you're a god, I'll drag you down from your throne!"

Thinking this to himself, as Magris walked up to him and smiled cruelly, Lin Peng's eyes blazed with fury. It seemed as if a fiery heat erupted from his chest and throughout his entire body!

In an instant, the entire pit seemed to turn into a furnace.

boom……

With another kick, Lin Peng flew through the air amidst the flames, spitting out another mouthful of blood, seemingly unable to even utter a sound. His entire chest cavity seemed to have collapsed. When he crashed heavily onto the hard ground, even breathing became difficult.

Every breath was so difficult, so painful.

He tried to clench his fists, but he had no strength at all. In the deep pit once again, Lin Peng's whole body began to tremble.

Magris raised his hands above his head and laughed maniacally at the white moon in the sky: "Hahaha... You, an ant like you, actually dared to harm me. Hahaha... Now, you will pay the price. An incredibly heavy price, the price of your death! Hahaha..."

That sara-like voice lingered in Lin Peng's ears, causing him some discomfort. A slight smile played on his lips as he gazed at the white moon in the sky, and it seemed he saw Xi Ya. That woman who always wore a cold expression, that woman who never let anyone get close.

But at least, he was very worried when he was unconscious!

Even in death, one should strive for honor, otherwise... the journey here would have been in vain! Thinking this, his eyes suddenly turned icy cold. When Magris once again reached the edge of the pit, Lin Peng seemed to be engulfed in flames.

"Flame, give me endless flames, I want the most powerful flames! Even if I'm burned to death, I'll take this guy down with me!" Lin Peng shouted in his heart, and the fire in his chest suddenly surged wildly. In an instant, all the meridians in his body began to burn with intense pain, making Lin Peng feel like he was about to lose his breath.

There wasn't a speck of cold sweat on his body or forehead. His entire body felt like it was on fire.

"Become stronger, even stronger, so strong that I can burn myself! Burn!" Lin Peng looked at Magris, who was approaching him, and the past replayed in his mind.

Even the way of life in the original world appeared.

A surge of anger, originating from the deepest recesses of his heart, erupted, making him feel as if he were about to be vaporized. It was just like the last time, when he used that drunkard and then used that clear yellow earth and fire magic to ambush him.

He himself seemed to have evaporated in an instant. But this time, it seemed he had truly evaporated. The moment Magris approached, Lin Peng's entire body erupted in a raging inferno.

His entire body was engulfed in flames, making him look like a human torch. The extreme heat caused even Magris to take a step back, staring in astonishment at this "human torch"!

"Ah! Burn!" A final cry rang out from the depths of his heart, and boom... the enormous flames surged to a height of three zhang (approximately 10 meters)...

Chapter Thirty-Four: Demon King Level, New Abilities

The three-zhang-tall flame seemed to be slowly awakening, gradually beginning to coalesce into a body. Magris coldly watched this flame giant that was about to take shape, and cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his forehead.

The flames continued to burn, radiating astonishing heat. The intense light and heat caused all the plants within a mile radius to wither. Eventually, the flames coalesced into a human shape, but only the upper body remained, with a pair of clear yellow eyes that gleamed faintly.

His body was three zhang tall, and the raging flames on his chest resembled two pectoral muscles. His round head was as large as a house. His two pairs of gleaming eyes seemed to be shooting light from windows.

However, from the waist down, it has no feet. All that remains is a shimmering flame. But even so, this creature should not be underestimated. A single misstep could lead to death.

The fire giant slowly rose into the sky from its tail-like feet, coldly staring at Magris, who was still in a daze.

"Ah..." Magris screamed, turning around to run away. His body was immediately enveloped in demonic flames, and his speed seemed to more than double.

Lin Peng, of course, also saw that Magris wanted to escape. He snorted coldly in his heart and suddenly issued an order.

"Ow..."

The fire giant, resembling a roaring dragon, suddenly raised its hands to the sky.

For a fleeting moment, it seemed as if the entire white moon had turned red. Then, the fire giant's hands clenched tightly into fists, and the entire space seemed to burst into flames.

Boom...

The massive explosion sent a shockwave several meters high, along with countless pieces of rock and flames. Lin Peng, lying in the deep crater, seemed startled. He hadn't expected such power. It seemed Magris wouldn't even have a scrap of flesh left.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest, as if struck by a heavy stone. He couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of blood. The fire within his chest burned fiercely, instantly bringing Lin Peng a sense of relief.

The moment the flame ignited, it once again opened up all the meridians, and a stream of heat began to slowly circulate within them. After exhaling several heavy breaths, Lin Peng looked at the fire giant in mid-air, a bitter smile appearing on his lips.

Unexpectedly, this one-sided battle led to his breakthrough. However, considering he was almost at the edge of a breakthrough, he could only manage a faint smile. Unfortunately, he couldn't move an inch.

Even though the heat seemed to heal his injuries, at least Lin Peng wasn't in much pain anymore. But... even the slightest movement caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the fire giant in the sky won't disappear immediately. With its current fire power, it can easily maintain its position for two hours. But the question is, what happens after two hours?

If you're discovered by the bandit gang and can't move an inch, you're definitely going to get slaughtered.

And just at that very moment, several pulsating figures using thermal sensors darted towards him. A surge of joy filled him; ideally, he could wipe out the entire band of thieves within two hours.

That way, at least we can avoid future troubles. Or, we could even have one of our own people come!

The leader of the group paused for a moment upon seeing the enormous fire figure in the sky. Then, without hesitation, he ran straight towards them. The thieves, after a brief pause, also gave chase.

Lin Peng was also taken aback, then closed his eyes with a smile.

Surprisingly, it was Howard, who had been drawing the entire thief group away. Although Howard seemed somewhat weak, judging from his aura and body temperature, at least he had managed to escape.

Moreover, this encounter here conveniently dealt with all the members of the thief gang. However, in terms of numbers, only a few true elites had pursued them. At the same time, a familiar heat suddenly emanated from another direction.

"Hehe... I didn't expect that great demon to have caught up with us too! Perfect, let's take care of him all at once!" Lin Peng sneered inwardly, his resentment causing the fire giant in the sky to roar.

The deafening roar made the great demons chasing Howard extremely uncomfortable, but seeing no movement from the fire giant, they persisted in their pursuit. Meanwhile, another great demon on the other side snorted coldly and, surprisingly, gave chase anyway.

When Howard faced this enormous fire giant, he truly experienced just how scorching the surrounding environment was.

The deep pit beneath the fire giant, however, surprised him. After a hearty laugh, he jumped in and punched Lin Peng on the shoulder: "What are you doing lying here, you idiot?"

Cold sweat poured down Lin Peng's forehead; he almost wanted to punch the fire giant. Seeing Lin Peng's grimacing expression, Howard also realized something was wrong. Who was this guy, lying perfectly fine in the pit?

"Injured?" Howard asked in a cold voice, looking at the fire giant with some surprise.

Seeing Lin Peng blink, he smiled wryly and actually sat down next to him, staring at the fire giant in mid-air.

Just then, the band of thieves who had been tracking them arrived. They roared at the fire giant in the sky, but didn't move, before chuckling coldly and running towards the deep pit.

It seemed as if Howard was about to die a horrible death on the spot. Unfortunately, after taking only two steps, suddenly, the giant fire giant's enormous flaming fist slammed down from mid-air.

Boom...

Another bang followed, sending stone chips flying and thick smoke billowing up with flames. Howard's mouth gaped open, momentarily speechless. The enormous cloud of smoke seemed capable of burying the entire ground.

Howard, covered in dust, looked speechlessly at Lin Peng, who was still lying there. He patted his somewhat bald head and chuckled, "You've broken through to the Demon King level, haha... You kid, you just broke through and you're lying on the ground like this."

Lin Peng rolled his eyes, as if to say, "Do you think I want to lie here?"

To be honest, Howard was a little envious of how so many experts had been wiped out at once. Looking at the fire giant in mid-air, he whispered, "You can put him down!"
