My Beautiful Duchess Wife

However, the soldiers now harbor even greater hatred towards the high-ranking officials of Punishment City!

Several captains, leading their soldiers out, turned around halfway and said, "Brothers, we've done our duty in Punishment City, haven't we?"

"Why? These clueless bastards can actually order us around. They do nothing but bully the incompetent ones..."

Before he could utter the next few words, an extremely intense burst of dark red demonic flame shot out. With a single sword strike, he took the life of this seemingly composed captain.

However, the soldiers around him also became enraged. They swung their swords sharply, pointing them at Marsel: "Going there is death, staying here is death too! Lord Rams, we surrender! We'll kill this bastard first!"

"Damn it, brother's right. If we join forces, can't we beat these people? We don't have any Demon Emperor experts. All the Demon Emperor experts have gone to attack Moonlight Town!"

"That's right! Kill them, kill these guys!"

……

One by one, the captains and soldiers drew their swords, charging towards the experts surrounding Masier.

Suddenly, the situation spiraled out of control. Rams, as if he had anticipated this, smiled faintly: "Dirk, now you understand what I meant!"

Dirk slowly lowered the longsword in his hand, as if he had truly understood: "I understand, Uncle! But, Uncle, why did I have to learn these things!"

“Because sometimes, you have to bear certain things!” Rams said earnestly. However, he swallowed the last half of his sentence.

His eye twitched slightly, as if he had thought of something. He turned and looked towards a nearby alley. Three figures were slowly walking in that direction.

At this point, the situation on Masser's side could be described as extremely bad!

The captains, one by one, seemed truly determined to kill Masil. Ignoring their own injuries, they all ganged up on the Great Demon King-level experts and Demon Emperor-level warriors protecting Masil. Although a captain was at most a Demon King, and some were even powerful Great Demons, many ants can still kill an elephant! The Great Demon Kings and Demon Emperor-level warriors were instantly covered in colorful marks.

One of the captains, after being cleaved in two, poured his last bit of strength into his weapon, as if he had found an outlet for his emotions.

The beams shot towards the experts with incredible speed. They formed a rain of arrows, hurtling towards Masier.

With just this one strike, another powerful expert at the level of a demon king collapsed to the ground. Crimson blood flowed everywhere across the entire training ground.

Masier's eyes twitched, blinking incessantly. For a moment, he really couldn't figure it out! And just then, a Demon King-level captain seemed to have reached his limit!

While laughing maniacally, he grabbed a powerful demon king-level expert and roared, "Let's die together! Hahaha..." Then, his power was compressed and transferred to a signal sphere he carried. Instantly, a deafening explosion erupted, accompanied by flames and blood...

Chapter 83 The Dark Angel Appears

At this point, the soldiers were practically risking their lives. Perhaps this self-destruction was just the first; many more captains, seemingly enraged, began launching suicidal attacks.

Masser's face was filled with terror; he was genuinely frightened. Right now, all he cared about was saving his own life, not suppressing this counterattack.

"Retreat! All of you, retreat!" After a heart-wrenching roar, a mid-level Demon Emperor-level expert beside him grabbed Masil and swept towards the City Lord's Mansion. Judging from the situation, they intended to escape the city. After all, there was nowhere safe inside the city!

This Demon Emperor-level expert reacted very quickly. However, Rams reacted even faster. The longsword, glowing with dark light, was drawn in an instant.

With a mere leap, he was already in front of the Demon Emperor-level expert. His longsword flashed, seemingly accompanied by an extremely pleasant sound.

A flash of black light swept coldly across the Demon Emperor-level expert. With a single sword strike, it forced back both the Demon Emperor-level expert and Masil. Then, after a somersault, he landed on his feet and coldly laughed, "Masil, it seems impossible for you to escape today!"

Masier's entire body began to tremble. Faced with a Demon Emperor-level expert, he had completely lost his will to fight. Before overwhelming power, any semblance of wisdom was utterly meaningless.

Of course, he wasn't a very intelligent demon yet!

On the other side, a sudden shout rang out: "Stop! I am Arthur!" Immediately, the soldiers seemed to stop their killing moves in an instant.

They all turned their heads and looked toward the source of the sound!

In the City of Punishment, if we're talking about who among the younger generation has the greatest influence in the army, then besides Arthur, there really isn't anyone else!

Three people stood at the entrance of a dimly lit alley: Arthur, Lint, and Hart. All three appeared to be injured, with traces of blood trickling from their foreheads.

When the soldiers saw Arthur, they all felt as if they had found true support. Some soldiers couldn't bear the pressure and immediately dropped their weapons, collapsing to the ground.

The sound of ping-pong balls filled the air! Dirk looked at Arthur with some surprise. Serabil slowly stood up and gave a wry smile.

This battle is probably out of the question! He knew that if Lin Peng were here, it would be even less likely that a fight would break out. Now, it all depends on Rams's decision!

"Uncle Rams? Could you spare Masser's life?" Like a king, he thrust his halberd diagonally into the ground, bowed to Rams, and asked very respectfully.

Hart and Lint both wore wry smiles. Some couldn't help but shake their heads. Marsellus and Arthur were completely different personalities. However, if anyone had to choose, they would choose Arthur.

But for some reason, Masir was favored by the leader! This left everyone puzzled!

“Actually, you know my decision!” Rams narrowed his eyes slightly, staring directly into Arthur’s gaze. From his eyes, he knew that Arthur was only being polite.

Masir was trembling all over. He didn't say a word, seemingly truly terrified and afraid to utter a sound. The Demon Emperor-level expert beside him, however, appeared extremely calm.

"Uncle Rams...hehe...actually, from the very beginning, I planned to cooperate with Lin Peng! And I also know Lin Peng's true power! It's just...sigh..."

At this point, both Arthur and Hart shook their heads with wry smiles. Indeed, if Marsell hadn't used that move back then, and if Ostiel hadn't acquiesced, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

At the same time, if Fario and the others hadn't acted so impulsively, this wouldn't have happened!

But all of this has already happened. If Arthur had the ability to travel through time, he could try to stop it.

“You know, if it weren’t for Masser, your City of Punishment would never be in this state! And I can tell you definitively! Those experts who chased after him, including Ostiel, might not make it back tomorrow! And all of this is Ostiel’s own fault! He’s far too focused on fame and fortune! Does he even realize that if he really messes with Lin Peng this time, those two forces will definitely pin everything on Ostiel!” Rams sighed, looking up at the sky, and said with a smile.

Arthur and Hart were all taken aback. Then, as if realizing something, they all nodded emphatically. Considering Lin Peng's ability to gather so many experts from the Dark Sage Guild at once, he truly did have that kind of value!

If the Dark Sages were to hold those two forces accountable, given their immense power within the two empires, it would be highly unlikely that the Dark Sages Guild would act so directly.

So, the first to fall victim might be Sin City! And if the Dark Sage Guild has enough time to prepare, Sin City will basically be destroyed!

Arthur and Hart were no fools. After a moment's thought, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads! The City of Punishment was not a truly powerful force at present! And it was simply impossible for them to contend with a behemoth like the Dark Sage Guild!

However, over the years, almost everyone in Punishment City has been hypnotized by the Crimson Demon Territory! They believe that their strength is truly that great!

“Don’t blame me for being blunt, Masser…” Rams turned to look at Masser, who was kneeling on the ground. Masser looked terrified.

His hands were waving incessantly, tears and snot streaming down his face. Rams felt a wave of nausea watching him: "What's the point of keeping someone like that around? Just like Lin Peng said, keeping someone like that is a waste of the Demon Realm's land and air. It's a waste of the farmers who work so hard to support us! I really don't even want to look at someone like that again..."

The last word, "look," was left unsaid. Masier wiped his nose, seemingly genuinely enraged. Suddenly, he threw a spherical object, then burst into maniacal laughter: "What can you guys do to me? Hahaha... I'll take you down with me right now!"

In an instant, the sphere burst forth with a radiant light like the sun. The entire City of Punishment seemed to transform into a world of light at that moment.

No matter how powerful the expert was, even the strongest mid-level demon emperor on the field, he immediately possessed the demon and collapsed to the ground.

The entire sphere of light, emitting a glow, rose slowly into the deep night sky like a mushroom cloud. A tremendous explosion followed, accompanied by a powerful shockwave.

In that instant, it surged out in all directions. The immense energy was something ordinary demons couldn't withstand. Those with slightly weaker strength were completely obliterated, leaving not even a trace of dust.

……

After the massive burst of fire, the sky slowly began to lighten. Lin Peng looked up at the sky; what a night it had been!

"Ostiel, tell me, how many people in Punishment City can survive now? After all, with such a powerful impact, ordinary houses and such simply couldn't have survived! Not to mention those demons who are only mid-level or high-level demons!"

Lin Peng's left hand was still pressed against his chest. Although the bleeding had stopped, it would slowly ooze out again if he didn't press on it even slightly.

Even such a small amount of bleeding can kill a person!

Veins bulged all over Ostiel's body, clearly visible. The golden light had dissipated, and his fists were clenched so tightly they seemed about to burst!

His head, as if rusted, slowly turned towards Lin Peng. The inexplicable hatred in his eyes was obvious to anyone!

"Do you know who unleashed that kind of impact force just now?" Ostiel seemed to be saying through gritted teeth.

Scully's subordinate, a Demon Emperor-level expert who resembled an assassin, suddenly sprang up from the ground and flew towards Ostil.

"It shouldn't be Rams's work! However, the impact was indeed powerful. But it also had its drawbacks. At least, it would be quite easy for a Demon Emperor-level expert to survive such an impact! After all, the existence of a Demon Emperor..."

Before Lin Peng could finish speaking, a voice as beautiful as heavenly music rang out from the direction of Punishment City. Immediately, the entire sky seemed to darken again.

Slowly, a pair of wings unfolded towards the shockwaves! Then, they slowly folded back in. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared and soared into the sky.

Huge...

Sacred...

A dark angel! That's right, what Lin Peng saw at this moment was a dark angel. Its wings had been folded up, and its entire body was probably over five meters tall.

It seemed to resemble Ostiel. However, its wings paused in mid-air for a moment, then suddenly spread open, and the wings, along with its body, began to spin violently.

He unleashed the attack in one direction in an instant! Immediately… Boom… A massive explosion, even louder than the previous shockwave!

Even more, you can see with the naked eye that a small grove of hemlock trees, about two kilometers away, is being lifted up and soaring into the sky!

"Dark Angel?" Lin Peng's eyes widened in disbelief. Shia, on the other hand, was completely stunned. Her eyes were filled with astonishment!

Chapter 84 The Dark Angel Clan

The Dark Angels are the sole royal family of the Dark Empire. They are also one of the most powerful forces in the Demon Realm to date. Aside from the bloodline inherited from the Flame Demon, perhaps the Dark Angels' lineage truly is the most powerful.

The legendary first emperor of the Dark Empire ultimately became a god-like being—an eight-winged dark angel! Now, a Demon Emperor-level expert has suddenly revealed himself to be a two-winged dark angel. It's undeniably quite astonishing.

"A member of the royal family?" Shia murmured to herself, still unsure. Lin Peng, on the other hand, smacked his lips, somewhat unable to withstand the pressure.

Rams?

"Is it really Rams?" That's what Lin Peng was thinking at that moment.

Ostil was also stunned, as if he had encountered something impossible. In the distance, the Dark Angel seemed to be seriously injured, and the feathers on its wings began to slowly loosen.

Immediately after a burst of black light, it shrank somewhat in a dejected manner and finally fell to the ground.

"Rams, that idiot, he actually broke that seal? That idiot, forcibly breaking it like that, unless he can break through instantly, his life is truly over!"

Ostil was truly enraged, and in a fit of madness, he pointed at the Dark Angel and cursed him. This only made Lin Peng even more puzzled.

After all, from the very beginning, Punishment City was defined as the ultimate of the ranger organizations. However, judging from these clues, this ranger organization is indeed quite extraordinary.

They stared intently at Ostiel, as if they had discovered something!

……

Rams slowly flapped his wings and landed directly on the training ground. At this moment, he looked like a powerful, dark angel of holy war.

Marsel had already turned into a pile of ashes, completely unrecoverable. Arthur, on the other hand, seemed somewhat dazed, as if he had been stunned ever since Ramsay transformed into the Dark Angel!

“Punishment City, the legendary strongest force! Even the leader’s Radiant Angel is no match for them!” Hart murmured, staring at Rams with an expression of adoration.

Arthur gave a wry smile. Yes, the bloodlines in Punishment City were now extremely diluted. It could be said that even someone like himself, with the bloodline of a Blood Angel, seemed to have become relatively pure.

As for Masir, he doesn't even have the bloodline of the Blood Angel, let alone anything like inheritance!

Although Rams had returned to his normal human form, the wings on his back remained. The dark feathers emitted a faint, dark glow.
