My Beautiful Duchess Wife

The black-robed elder and Skull were naturally surprised as well. Fario and Kaches were even more shocked. After all, they had no idea that Lin Peng had such a powerful subordinate!

Moreover, that little brat hasn't even made a move yet. Who knows what powerful methods the real Grandmaster possesses! This battle is truly going to be difficult!

After shielding his body with his arms, Lin Peng whispered, "Shia, take Angelina and retreat into the hemlock forest! The battle here is something you really can't handle!"

Lin Peng had just finished speaking when Angelina and Shia showed no sign of making a move. In particular, Angelina's stubborn gaze completely stunned Lin Peng.

Roland, standing to the side, smiled faintly and said, "Lin Peng, why don't you take Angelina into the woods? Here, besides the two of you, Duke Shia and I are both Demon Emperor-level experts!"

The mere mention of Demon Emperor-level experts brought Lin Peng back to his slump. He had fought Roland when Roland first reached that level.

However, the match ended in a draw. This meant that his current combat power was at least at the initial stage of the Demon Emperor realm! But for some reason, even though he had managed to surpass his level, he just couldn't break through. It has to be said that Lin Peng was quite frustrated now! He even wore an extremely helpless expression.

She shook her head slightly and said, "Never mind, everyone stay here!"

Shia smiled faintly, and suddenly another person, also completely shrouded in a cloak, appeared beside her. After a slight nod, a longsword appeared in her hand.

Indeed, this is the Dark Sword that Shia is currently researching! As she slowly picked up the longsword, there was something hesitant in Shia's eyes.

At this moment, Medusa floated into the air. She drew her dark longbow to its full draw once more. The black-robed elder opposite her, of course, also took to the air.

However, the old man in black robes was completely shrouded in a layer of black mist. Only his eyes seemed to be truly lit, and they even radiated a chilling aura.

"Although I don't know your background, that arrow just now must have been propelled by this divine weapon! Hmph, if this divine weapon hadn't been damaged, it could have unleashed the power of a super divine weapon. It's just a pity!"

The old man in black robes chuckled faintly, yet his voice was still chilling. His words suggested he knew the bow intimately! Medusa also sneered, her flowing hair suddenly fluttering without wind.

Under the white moon, the streams appeared extremely mystical.

"Whether it's a divine artifact or not is none of your business! But today, you will die here! The traitor's men deserve to die too!" With that, the fully drawn bow was released.

Instantly, a crisp arrow with a rattlesound shot directly towards the black mist.

The speed was extremely fast, impossible to perceive with the naked eye! Of course, this was also Lin Peng's opinion.

Boom...

With another explosion, it seemed as if a tornado had appeared directly between the sky and the ground. The hanging hemlock trees appeared to be almost uprooted.

Below, braving the hurricane, Sculptor and the mid-level Demon Emperor expert sneered and rushed towards Lin Peng.

Both of them now wielded battle blades. Gleaming with an intensely crimson light, these blades cleaved through the hurricanes, transforming into massive, four-to-five-meter-long pillars of crimson light with a single strike.

Boom...

Explosions suddenly erupted on the ground. Roland and Little joined forces to unleash their sword energy and fist strikes at the crimson pillar of light descending from the sky.

Two forces exploded together in an instant! At the same time, Shia's dark sword was slowly drawn! It emitted waves of black light, and each time it did so, it seemed as if the space itself turned pitch black! At this moment, Fario and Kaches, who were at the very back, also caught up!

When they looked at Lin Peng, both Fario and Catches had extremely complex expressions in their eyes. It seemed like resentment, or perhaps, a sense of apology.

"Fario, Kaches! Heh heh... To be honest, from the very beginning, you guys have really been somewhat disappointed with Punishment City! Even now, you might really want to get rid of me right away! Too bad... Today, we'll see who gets rid of whom!" Lin Peng's lips curled into a smile, as if he were speaking with extremely strong confidence.

Beside Shia are the guardians of the Dark Sword. And Kobels has always been with Lin Peng. However, he might be hiding now.

Prepare for a truly fatal blow! Besides, right now, Roland and Little should be able to hold them off somewhat. If the Snake King appears, then it's clear that our side will have a complete victory!

Therefore, Lin Peng is now truly not afraid of this Demon Emperor-level expert at all!

Chapter Seventy-Six Fierce Battle (Part One)

A hissing sound rang out, and crimson flames erupted from Lin Peng's entire body. Bathed in moonlight, he appeared incredibly alluring. The night wind, whipped up by the hurricane, grew even stronger. At this moment, the flames seemed exceptionally powerful!

Both Fario and Kaches narrowed their eyes. Skull and his henchman were currently being held back by Roland, Abaddon's two men, Shia, and Angelina, who kept appearing like bombs. If they could deal with these two, they could probably go and support them soon.

The short robe slowly slid down, revealing a physique with streamlined and incredibly muscular muscles. Each muscle looked as if it had been sculpted directly.

With Lin Peng, Xiao Xiao, and Kobels together, it should be relatively simple. After all, both of them are early-stage Demon Emperor level experts.

Xiao Xiao, that kind of domain, even the Snake King has mentioned it. The Demon Emperor's Sword in the middle section is absolutely dominant. And Kobels, hiding in the shadows, goes without saying.

According to him, his domain is the domain of the soul. One can imagine its immense power. Even Lin Peng, who knew nothing about the soul, had an understanding of the power of a soul master.

"Domain, Lightness!" Fario whispered softly, and the entire world seemed to lighten instantly. The large rocks and clumps of earth that had been blown up all began to float in mid-air.

Kaches stood atop a floating rock, his entire body engulfed in dark demonic flames. However, unlike Lin Peng's, his flames seemed to emit no heat whatsoever.

Not to mention, it could ignite anything.

"Xiao Xiao, it would be best to take down these two within half an hour!" Lin Peng said in a low voice. Then, the flames on his body seemed to disappear all at once.

Along with it, his entire body vanished without a trace. Suddenly, even in this ethereal world, flames erupted from the ground.

In the instant that Fario and Kaches were stunned, Little moved. His entire body erupted with a towering crimson light. In a flash, his body grew to a height of about three meters.

"Hah!" With a roar, blood-red light erupted from his small fist. Kaches leaped onto the floating clod of earth and instantly flew into the air.

"Demonic Flames, Dragon Guardians!" With a roar, the black demonic flames transformed into a giant dragon, charging towards the blood-red fist.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion rang out.

The front part of the forest suddenly turned into a depression, like a desert. At the same time, a dragon's roar suddenly echoed from the other side of the forest.

Just as Kaches was transforming into his demonic form, a dragon's roar resounded, loud and menacing. Kaches, in his dragon form, seemed to freeze for a moment.

At that moment, a powerful pillar of fire suddenly erupted from the ground. This towering pillar of fire engulfed the entire half-dragon body of Kaches.

At that moment, Fario plucked his bowstring repeatedly, firing over a dozen arrows that gleamed black as they shot into the forest. Of course, he remained motionless, searching for Lin Peng.

Now that they'd found it, they fired it immediately. The black arrows carried an extremely strong dark element. Furthermore, each arrow bore an extremely strange rune-like marking.

Kobels frowned slightly, just as he was about to help Lin Peng, a huge black figure descended, its enormous wings sweeping directly towards the black arrow.

dang dang...

A series of sounds rang out, and it seemed that quite a few sparks could be seen popping out.

The little dragon grabbed Lin Peng with its claws and used its wings to block the dozen or so arrows. Lin Peng was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed.

Xiao Long is clearly unharmed. Having experienced that inherited power, it's unbelievable that he still possesses such a body.

This dragon body was exactly that of a peak-level Demon Emperor. Lin Peng knew all too well the penetrating power of Fario's arrows. Ordinary defenses simply couldn't stop them.

Even Jerry the Red Demon at that time seemed to have to transform his body into elements before letting the arrow pass. If he had tried to catch it with his bare hands, Jerry would have suffered a minor injury!

The little dragon slowly turned around, spread its wings once more, and roared to the sky. Its nearly thirty-meter-long body took flight with the flapping of its wings.

Fario was clearly stunned. However, the next second, he was immediately sent flying backward at high speed. The spot where he had been standing was now blasted into a huge crater by the small fist!

At that moment, the pillar of fire vanished without a trace. Kaches, somewhat dejected, plummeted downwards, landing right next to Fario.

Although there were no wounds or burns on his body, it seemed as if smoke was beginning to rise from it, in bursts, making him look as if he were being roasted!

"Fario, this battle is truly difficult! It seems your arrows have absolutely no effect on that dark dragon!" Kaches shook his head with a helpless wry smile. However, his resolute and extremely masculine face now radiated an even stronger fighting spirit!

"It's alright, if I miss once, I refuse to believe it. It really is true, I can't even pierce his skin!" Fario snorted coldly, and then, his entire agile domain began to take effect.

Just as Xiao Xiao was about to rush forward, a force he couldn't control suddenly lifted him up. Before he could react, Fario flipped over and fired an arrow.

The black arrow, with its black tail, hurtled towards Xiao Xiao like a meteor. At that moment, Xiao Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, and her entire body seemed to emit an extremely dim green light for a split second.

Just as the black arrow was about to strike him, it seemed to have lost all its power. It became limp and looked as if it was about to fall.

With a snap, Xiao Xiao actually used two fingers to catch the arrow.

This scene truly stunned Fario and Kaches. What kind of talent was this? They seemed to have never seen anything like it before! Of course, the two knew Xiao Xiao's identity.

Moreover, even subduing Little was done with the help of the two of them. Of course, it was absolutely necessary to do so at the time, otherwise, the City of Punishment would have suffered greatly in the Crimson Demon territory!

"Haha... Fario, Katches, you two idiots. Do you really think that a Demon Emperor-level expert can kill me?!" Lin Peng shouted loudly.

The flames around his body gathered once more. He pointed at Fario, and a phoenix cry rang out. The flames transformed into the shape of a fire phoenix.

In an instant, it broke through that ethereal space.

After a moment of hesitation, Fario thrust both hands forward simultaneously. Instantly, the entire fire phoenix charged towards another location.

The explosion was extremely loud at that moment. The flames from the explosion completely blinded the two of them. And just then, Kobels finally made his move.

The longsword in his hand glowed faintly white. As he charged into the agile's domain, he seemed completely unaffected, thrusting his sword directly towards Fario's heart.

Kaches was quick-witted and nimble; after letting out a roar, the dragon's tail swept out horizontally.

He swept Fario aside, but couldn't bear it and let out a wail! Kobels' longsword had just pierced his tail.

His eyes turned cold, and Kebels slashed outwards. Instantly, a dragon's tail flew up, spraying dark red blood, soaring high into the air!

Fario drew his bowstring once more. After forcing Kobels back with an arrow, he finally saved Kaches's life. However, large gashes appeared on both the tail and arms of the half-dragon.

With Kobels' abilities, he could have done even better! However, he still seemed melancholy, as if he only did so after his eyes turned cold when he cut off Catches' tail.

"Deacon Kobels?" Fario asked, initially puzzled, then somewhat exasperated. He thought of the matter with Kersil, and seeing Kobels now must have reminded him of something else.

"You two are really having a run of bad luck today! Heh... Lin Peng, if—and I mean if—I were to beg for their lives, could you spare their lives?"

After stepping back a little, Kobels turned to Lin Peng and asked him a question.

Fario and Kaches seemed to be looking at Lin Peng in the same direction. Just as Lin Peng was about to think about it, Shia's painful scream came from afar.

Shia plummeted from the sky, a trail of crimson blood seemingly trailing from her waist. The dark sword in her hand flew out of her grasp.

The Dark Sword was directly taken by the guardian. As for Shia herself, she caught it in her arms even as Lin Peng unleashed his full power.

With two leaps, he landed beside the little dragon. At this moment, the wound on Shia's abdomen was clearly visible! It seemed to have been slashed open directly by Skull's battle blade!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: As Expected

In an instant, Shia's expression seemed to vanish, her face turning deathly pale. Lin Peng frowned deeply, his gaze towards Scully filled with rage.

"Lin Peng, I'm fine! I can still... continue fighting!" As if she didn't want Lin Peng to worry, Shia tried her best to stand up.

However, moving his abdomen only intensified the pain. The blood flowing out was a deep, dark red. It seemed impossible for him to continue fighting.

Lin Peng smiled faintly and took out a bottle of green potion. He first forcibly pressed Shia down and forced her to drink it, then said, "Alright, don't push yourself!" He then handed Shia over to the flying dragon and Angelina before slowly standing up.

Over there, Xiao Xiao and Kobels rendered Fario and the heavily injured Kaches immobile. Meanwhile, upon seeing Lin Peng, Skull became even more excited: "Lin Peng, you asked for it! Don't blame me! Hahaha..." The battle blade in his hand burst forth with a strong crimson light as he exerted force.

A soaring killing intent erupted in an instant. However, Lin Peng had experienced the killing intent of a demon before. The killing intent of someone like Sgul didn't concern him.

Roland pursed his lips, seemingly unconcerned about Skull's overwhelming killing intent. Looking into the distance, Medusa, along with the old man in black robes, had already led the attack in another direction.
