My Beautiful Duchess Wife

One was fleeing in front, and the other was chasing behind. Moreover, their strengths were clearly disproportionate; one was a Demon Emperor-level expert, while the other was merely a Great Demon King-level master.

The contrast was so stark that even Laura and Angelina were taken aback. They exchanged glances, both feeling a deep sense of disbelief.

"Let's chase after them! What if this is a trick by the Night Demon?" Laura sighed, and immediately sent Number Two to protect the still silent Roland before chasing in that direction.

Little Angelina shook her head helplessly and took to the air.

The closer Lin Peng got, the happier Night Demon became. Although he couldn't defeat Lin Peng here, once they reached the Pool of Gathering Power, this guy would be nothing.

At least, I've never heard of a great demon king who could conjure fire power in such an environment. Clearly, he was doomed to lose.

Therefore, the Night Demon Black Smoke Giant ran even faster. Lin Peng was somewhat hesitant, but he still gave chase. After all, he still had Little Troll following him.

Therefore, the fire giant that Lin Peng had conjured also accelerated its pursuit of the black smoke giant. The two of them, one after the other, instantly arrived at a place that looked like a cave.

The giant of black smoke stood at the cave entrance and suddenly smiled at Lin Peng. It really was a smile, as if to say, "I knew you wouldn't dare come in."

This meaning can be seen from the corner of the black smoke giant's mouth.

At the same time, Lin Peng's lips twitched slightly. A provocation tactic? He hadn't expected this old devil to actually resort to anything. Was it necessary? He actually wanted to trick him into going in. If he hadn't been provoked like this, he really would have gone in with him. But now?

The fire giant abruptly stopped in its tracks, nearly causing the troll behind it to lose its footing and crash into it. It stared intently at the cave, which resembled the mouth of a giant beast.

Although it was definitely big enough and absolutely impossible to stop the fire giant's advance, Lin Peng was still a little apprehensive when it came to actually calculating the numbers.

He turned to look at the troll, gave a wry smile, and said, "What should we do? Should we go in?"

The troll was taken aback, its gaze towards Lin Peng becoming somewhat strange. "As a master, why are you asking me? I'm only responsible for combat matters!"

Lin Peng was speechless for a moment, but he really didn't dare to go in. At the same time, he didn't want the troll to take the risk. Just then, Angelina and Laura rushed up from behind.

"Judging from the situation, this cave should be the true hiding place of the Night Demon's soul! Perhaps it will be dangerous for us to go in. But who can say for sure what will happen!"

Laura pouted and said sullenly. Lin Peng looked at Angelina, and after she nodded, the fire giants slowly gathered together.

Instantly, it transformed into a battle blade no more than a meter long. However, if this battle blade were to explode, it might be even more powerful than a pillar of light or a divine dragon.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Lin Peng said, grabbing his flaming battle sword and rushing into the cave. He was genuinely taken aback when he first entered.

Even Laura, Angelina, and the troll were stunned. A very wide passageway. At least twenty meters high, and seven or eight meters wide!

Surprisingly, every part of this passageway that extended outwards was lit with torches. Even people as knowledgeable as Angelina and Laura were somewhat puzzled.

The hiding place of a Night Demon's soul, and there are torches there? This... is unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable!

“This place wasn’t built by that Night Demon. However, it should be an ancient ruin. I never imagined that the Night Demon would have such a place as his hideout! No wonder even the leader of the Rangers couldn’t find anything wrong with it!” Angelina said, her brows slightly furrowed.

Arthur had secretly told Lin Peng that this town had also caught the eye of the Punishment City before. However, they had never been able to find a real solution.

Furthermore, this place isn't really anyone's territory. So, nothing has been done about it.

Looking back now, I finally understand the leader's anger. He might have been able to defeat the Night Demon within that barrier. But if it escaped, it would be very difficult to find it.

Because the entire passageway was as intricate as a maze. Although there were only three entrances, Lin Peng had been using his thermal senses to detect them the entire time.

Upon sensing the passage, he was utterly frustrated. Although the Night Demon's aura remained after entering through the central passage, the winding, circuitous route had clearly disoriented Lin Peng!

Chapter Forty-Nine: Devouring

Although the light at the junction of this passage was very dim, Lin Peng's flaming battle blade made it possible to clearly see all the runes.

After carefully examining the runes, Angelina suddenly stopped Lin Peng, who was about to shake his head to continue sensing with his thermal senses, as if in shock.

“These are runes from the ancient forbidden pool of fusion. If you use your talents carelessly here, you might truly lose all your talent power!” Angelina frowned and said with some shock.

Of course, these words startled Lin Peng. He immediately severed those connections and looked towards the central passage. A somewhat speechless smirk appeared on his lips.

Unexpectedly, this Night Demon is so lucky to have found such a good place. If all his talents are suppressed, then that pure soul power can definitely be unleashed to its maximum potential!

This time, the Night Demon really did escape!

Even Laura and Angelina thought so. However, after shaking his head helplessly, Lin Peng suddenly thought of the snake king. It seemed to be a true soul state as well.

If this snake king were to appear here, then... wouldn't that mean we could definitely defeat that night demon? After all, pure power boils down to the body and soul.

The Night Demon, however, was a spirit entity. It seemed the troll's physical strength was completely ineffective against him. The Serpent King's spirit power should be enough to defeat him!

Thinking of this, Lin Peng's mood instantly improved! He waved his hand and laughed loudly, "Let's go, let's chase after him. I refuse to believe that a soul can still jump around!"

The group was taken aback, all looking at Lin Peng with some odd expressions. However, since their leader had spoken, they naturally followed him. They then headed towards the central passageway.

Although torches were lit, the atmosphere was still somewhat dim. The entire journey was tinged with an extremely eerie feeling, as if one were surrounded by something.

It gave off a very unsettling feeling, and the runes on the walls all emitted faint, multicolored glows, as if they were evoking some kind of resonance.

Each passageway seemed to be spiral-shaped. As you walked along, you felt as if you had fallen into some kind of strange place.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Peng's eyes suddenly widened as he looked in one direction: "Heh heh... I didn't expect Night Demon to be so bold. It didn't even get very far!"

As he spoke, he ran towards a very narrow passage. The others followed suit, rushing towards the same spot. Their speed was extremely fast; in an instant, they had passed through another passage.

In less than a quarter of an hour, a large hall suddenly appeared before them, looking like a banquet hall used for a ball.

The entire hall, including the wall-like screens, was at least the size of a football field. Moreover, the walls were all painted with a glazed, glass-like finish.

One by one, the tadpole-like runes slowly revealed their shimmering colors. At the center point, the very center of a magic circle, stood a faint, phantom-like soul.

Floating lightly, a strange smile appeared on its face. It was none other than the extremely powerful Night Demon!

"Heh heh, I didn't expect you'd actually dare to chase me in! Heh heh... Kid, chasing me in today was the biggest mistake you ever made. Today, you're going to die here!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the illusory figure turned pitch black. That blackness began to slowly spread, enveloping Lin Peng directly.

Strangely, the darkness seemed completely unaffected even when it touched the runes. Angelina frowned slightly and whispered, "This is the primal power of his soul. Even the runes of the Pool of Convergence cannot restrict such primal soul power!"

Lin Peng maintained the same expression and slowly nodded. Looking at Laura's somewhat panicked eyes, he smiled slightly. He let the darkness completely envelop him!

"Hahaha... I can feel your pure soul right now. Hahaha... I never imagined there could be such a pure soul. It's as if the Creator God himself created it! Incredible, truly incredible!" The Night Demon murmured softly, as if he were talking about something very great.

Even the troll looked at Lin Peng. After slightly frowning, its small body suddenly trembled. Instantly, a red power appeared.

However, once the red power appeared, although the primordial power was gradually diminished as if it had been absorbed, the runes also began to float.

It seemed as if real, living things had actually floated up. The entire hall was filled with a sound that resembled both Buddhist chants and celestial music.

Under this power, the Night Demon's strength seemed to increase even further. The darkness originating from his soul instantly spread, enveloping Lin Peng's entire body.

However, the bodies of the other people were exposed, and they seemed to have no interest in them whatsoever. The troll suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking helplessly at Lin Peng, who was surrounded by darkness.

However, Angelina showed no sign of panic. When Lin Peng decided to come in, she knew he absolutely had a way to destroy the Night Demon.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to do such a thing.

At least overall, Lin Peng is an extremely cautious person. He is also someone who values ​​life.

At this moment, Lin Peng appeared in his own space. On the ground, the Snake King excitedly raised its head, staring at Lin Peng as if it wanted to devour him.

"Let me out! I never expected to find such a top-quality tonic! Haha... If I have such a tonic this time, my strength will recover very quickly!"

However, seeing Lin Peng's expression, the Snake King was momentarily stunned. He knew, of course, that Lin Peng wouldn't let him out. Furthermore, without some kind of contract, he wouldn't be allowed to leave.

Even so, the Snake King had no choice but to make one.

Lin Peng still looked at him with the same gaze, as if everything was under his control. The Snake King, on the other hand, had truly gone through a long internal struggle.

In an instant, the Snake King shouted, "I agree, I'll be your pet right now!" In a flash, a green light appeared in front of Lin Peng.

Just like when Galein revealed his soul as a soul contract. Lin Peng gave a strange smile, then his body directly absorbed the green, flower-like soul fire.

The snake king was at its wits' end. It hadn't expected that the moment that soul approached, the space would seem to develop a voracious appetite, as if it were about to devour the soul.

If this space were to devour that soul again, he might truly be imprisoned here for life. And after spending these past few days with this kid, he doesn't seem to be such a bad person after all.

After a slight smile, the hall outside instantly changed. A green light suddenly flashed in the darkness, slowly engulfing the gloom like poison gas.

The Night Demon, who had just escaped death, was so astonished that even its soul trembled. Just now, an extremely strange power seemed to have locked onto it instantly, as if it wanted to devour it.

After slightly pushing Lin Peng away, another force suddenly appeared. Night Demon was filled with rage, completely bewildered by what had happened.

Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of curses, a giant snake head suddenly emerged from Lin Peng's body.

It too possessed a faint ethereal quality, but it was green. He, on the other hand, had no color at all. His soul fire, as if about to be extinguished in terror, screamed, "Demon Lord! A Demon Lord-level soul!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the snake's head appeared and swallowed the Night Demon whole. It even seemed to lick its enormous mouth once more, seemingly wanting more, before slowly shrinking back down.

At that moment, the darkness vanished without a trace!

Chapter Fifty: The Town's Ownership

A small, pale green snake head, its body visible in the distance. If viewed as a pet, it truly is a miniature, docile creature. Of course, knowing its true identity is quite terrifying.

A soul body at the level of a Demon Lord, and moreover, a snake king. Such an identity would be considered extremely powerful even within the Demon Realm.

Fortunately, the little dragon wasn't brought along this time. Otherwise, it would have really caused trouble. It seems this little snake has always looked down on the dragon race.

If Xiaolong were here, I wonder what the situation would be like.

The little snake smacked its lips, seemingly still wanting more, then glared angrily at Lin Peng: "Damn it, you bastard! You actually let that space absorb half of the power of those souls! You bastard!"

As it spoke, it tried to rush forward and tear Lin Peng apart. However, the troll behind it immediately stepped forward, its eyes fixed menacingly on the small, pale green snake that appeared almost ethereal.

Each of them looked somewhat puzzled.

After a moment of stunned silence, the little snake could only sigh. Seeing Lin Peng's perplexed expression, it knew he definitely wasn't behind it.

Is that space really his? How come every movement isn't controlled by Lin Peng? It's as if it has its own consciousness.

However, this kid definitely wanted half of my power. Otherwise, this space wouldn't have interfered!

After letting out a helpless sigh, it shook its head and swam towards the center of the magic circle. Although it was countless times smaller, its speed was still extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, the small snake, less than a foot long, coiled itself at the very center of the magic.

Just then, Laura behind him suddenly seemed to realize something. She abruptly shouted, "You're the Serpent King from the Deep Valley? Lin Peng, you actually reduced the Serpent King to just a soul! Judging by his soul, he was at least at the Demon Lord level!"

Angelina and the troll were also somewhat surprised to see Lin Peng, the Demon Lord, a powerful overlord in the Demon Realm. They never imagined that Lin Peng would turn him into a mere soul.

Moreover, judging from the way it looked just now, it seemed to have taken up residence directly inside Lin Peng's body.

The Snake King stared coldly at the group, a truly venomous serpent. It seemed poised to strike anyone it fanned upon. The group immediately fell silent, as if nothing had happened.
