My Beautiful Duchess Wife

Within this crack, flickering flames could still be seen. Furthermore, a considerable amount of snow and wind had entered. Slowly, these blood-red blossoms drifted down onto the ground below.

But now, there's absolutely no chance of snow. Those who were still unaware of the situation all looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the sky above the Dark City. As if startled awake, they all knelt and kowtowed.

At this moment, Lin Peng had absolutely no idea about the situation of the humans on the ground. Furthermore, he didn't know if it was even possible to pass through this rift. The moment he and Lan Mo entered, countless spatial storms, like real blades, attacked them. If it weren't for the Sun God Shield and their own strength, they might have already perished just trying to get through the passage.

Therefore, the moment the spatial rift appeared and broke, Lin Peng and Blue Demon jumped out. However, their appearance immediately caused a dramatic shift in the sky, creating a mixture of ice and fire.

Half of it was directly imprinted red. The other half was even covered in snowflakes. At this moment, the sun was still at its highest point, and the blazing sun shone down like real flames.

In one half of the flames, almost half of the Dark City, everything began to sweat. Meanwhile, the blue sky on the other side was shivering with cold.

The moment he emerged, the elder leader of the Bright Heaven Realm narrowed his eyes. The sheer power of that domain was enough to terrify him.

However, what puzzled the old man was that, on one side of the flames, the demon in the sky suddenly seemed to lose its balance and plummeted downwards.

Even the old man was stunned at this moment! It had only just been summoned, right? It seemed there was no preparation for battle or injury?

What's wrong? It's like you're suddenly not doing well?

On the other side, Blue Demon seemed to have suddenly noticed something, appearing beside Lin Peng in an instant with incredible speed. At this moment, Lin Peng's entire body seemed to be engulfed in flames.

Below, the celestial elder seemed to know something as well. Suddenly, a beam of light appeared as if in an instant, appearing before the Blue Demon in the blink of an eye.

With a flick of his longsword, a deep blue light shot out. After a cry from the Bone Horse, it swiftly carried Blue Demon and Lin Peng to the ground.

He arrived at the main hall of the Dark Castle. Although it was still in ruins, Lin Peng seemed quite happy.

Slowly, he helped the bone horse to his feet, then suddenly burst into laughter: "I can't believe I actually made it out! Hahaha... The air here is so much better! It's just that there's a lot of dust!"

Just now, he was so exhausted when he appeared that he didn't really have control of his body. Now, after catching his breath a little, he clearly still has some presence left.

In particular, the laughter was so loud it seemed to vibrate the very fabric of space. The flames engulfing his entire body showed no signs of abating.

In his hands, the Sun Spear and the Sun Shield emitted a crimson light, as if the entire ground itself had begun to burn.

Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, he looked towards a direction in the side hall. The divine shield in his hand suddenly emitted beams of light again. Instantly, a figure floated out from the side hall.

Klinks had already appeared beside Lin Peng, though he had grown into a handsome young man. However, standing before Lin Peng, and with his original fiery power, he was still a formidable opponent.

At this moment, he felt like a child standing before a real demon. Klinks chuckled wryly, a trace of blood still lingering at the corner of his mouth.

Summoning Lin Peng required an extraordinary amount of power. Had it not been for the fact that he already bore Lin Peng's imprint, he might already be dead from exhaustion.

Upon seeing his master, he was clearly exhausted. He immediately felt dizzy and fainted. Meanwhile, Xiao Xiao and Galein, who had helped Wengers up, both cried out, "Master, that old guy is the leader of the Light Realm. He's here to kill Elizabeth! Just now, the instant you appeared, it was this old guy who attacked you!"

Upon hearing this news, both Lin Peng and Lan Mo immediately turned their heads to look at the leader of the Bright Heaven Realm. The leader of the Bright Heaven Realm, of course, was now aware of the power of these two demons!

If I were a peak-level lower god, and even a lower god with a divine domain, then these two would definitely be true masters, stronger than me.

However, it's uncertain how much of their strength they can unleash under such intense sunlight. Especially considering that young man from earlier seemed to be injured.

Therefore, the main reason why the leader of the Bright Heaven Realm did not flee at this time was because of Lin Peng's injured state. As for Blue Demon, although he could not discern his strength...

However, in this human realm, and under this sunlight, it seems impossible to unleash the full potential of the Ice Domain. That's why they stopped to assess the situation!

However, Lin Peng was genuinely struggling to control that power. He wasn't sure if it was due to unfamiliarity or a genuine inability to use it. He frowned slightly and looked at Elizabeth once more.

He chuckled, "I didn't expect there to be traitors in the Bright Heaven Realm! It seems that only the Demon Realm has traitors? But I'll kill that traitor from the Demon Realm sooner or later. As for you guys?"

Elizabeth paused slightly, then gave a wry smile. As if she knew what Lin Peng wanted to say, she automatically took a step forward.

Just then, Lin Peng changed the subject, saying, "However, as for you! You dared to attack me, hehehe... If I don't kill you today, wouldn't it make me seem weak?"

As he said this, Lin Peng's eyes suddenly snapped open. In that instant, the spear in his hand thrust forward, carrying scorching flames.

It seemed as if the entire main hall had suddenly been engulfed in flames. But the Blue Demon didn't make a move. He simply looked towards Pope Harry.

"Are you excited?" Blue Demon asked in a low voice, as if asking something rather trivial. But Harry, at this moment, became even more excited.

Lord Flame Demon has reappeared, and he is unexpectedly powerful. This leader of the Celestial Realm possesses at least the strength of a lower-level god.

He nodded vigorously and asked, "Sir, I am Harry, the Dark One's representative in the human world! May I ask, is there anything I can answer for you?"

Blue Demon's brow furrowed slightly. The skeletal horse beneath him, seemingly in a fit of temper, kicked a stone.

"I have absolutely no connection with the dark forces! Even Lin Peng's relationship with the dark forces is somewhat complicated. Well, perhaps the dark forces rely on his power, or perhaps he grew up by relying on the dark forces... So, you don't need to think of me as one of those masters of the dark forces!"

As he spoke, he walked directly towards the spot where Lin Peng had been standing. That was where Klinks had been sitting. At this moment, he had no strength left to stand up.

Blue Demon tilted his head, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, he said, "Well, you'll still be his apprentice!"

Klinks was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir!" Blue Demon nodded slightly, then looked towards the battle on Lin Peng's side.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Peng seems to be at a disadvantage. However, his fiery domain power continues to intensify.

Furthermore, it carried an aura that seemed to set the earth ablaze. Every shot Lin Peng fired seemed to carry an attack of blazing flames.

Similarly, the old man held a longsword that appeared to be composed of light. They were indeed evenly matched.

Of course, only Blue Demon knew just how powerful Lin Peng's spear truly was...

Volume 4 The Dark Road

Chapter One: I'm Just a Guardian

The sky was no longer that of the Dark City. Instead, it was a sky truly composed of flames and light! In the distance, one could even see a power resembling a sun and a sphere of light.

Meanwhile, the entire Dark City was excessively hot. Many people seemed to be losing all the moisture from their bodies.

Every shot Lin Peng fired was with his full strength. But he desperately wanted to control it. He wanted even more to precisely control his power!

Make sure that not a single bit of your strength is wasted.

Scenes flashed through Lin Peng's mind. From the battle with Caron, from the moment he took control of the spear in his hand... until the moment Eileen died?

It seems that if only I had controlled things just a little better back then, I could have absolutely killed Caron without harming Eileen at all!

But then it suddenly occurred to me, what if Eileen hadn't been injured? Perhaps, even if she had actually killed Caron, Eileen would never have forgiven her…

Lin Peng was clearly somewhat dazed at this moment. However, every move he made still seemed to carry extremely powerful force. The old man seemed to be finding it increasingly difficult to fight against Lin Peng.

Every move, unless it involves immense power, will never force this kid to use his full strength. Moreover, this kid's ability to utilize power is becoming increasingly sophisticated!

The old man suddenly realized what was going on. After all that fighting, it turned out this kid just wanted to use him as a sparring partner!

Anger surged within him. Was he, as the leader of the Bright Heaven Realm, only fit to be someone else's sparring partner? He simply could not accept this fact.

In the blink of an eye, the sword of light in his hand seemed to suddenly burst forth with a powerful radiance. Suddenly, he roared, "Holy Light, Holy Heaven!"

The lightsaber, which had been shining brightly, suddenly transformed into a colossal sword reaching to the heavens. The entire sky was instantly illuminated.

Those below couldn't even truly open their eyes. Looking at the colossal sword reaching for the sky, Lin Peng felt no worry whatsoever. On the contrary, an extremely powerful fighting spirit surged within him. Especially, the spear in his hand seemed more like a true weapon of destruction.

He gripped it tightly in his hand, as if he were holding a flame in his own. He stood in mid-air, without moving an inch. He didn't even make a gesture of swinging the spear.

Even his eyes were closed. In the sky, light descended. The true Heaven-Supporting Sword had appeared, only a hundred meters away from Lin Peng.

Perhaps, the next second would be a direct hit to Lin Peng's body. Just then, Lin Peng suddenly opened his eyes. In that instant, the spear in his hand thrust out.

It moved with incredible speed, so fast that it didn't even blink, before a burst of flame shot out with a deafening roar. It was as if flames had shot out from the depths of hell.

The flames instantly overwhelmed the towering sword. They seemed to devour it, rushing forward in a flash. The old man opened his eyes, attempting to flee in another direction.

Suddenly, a chilling force appeared, seemingly rendering his body immobile. It was as if the entire domain had been frozen solid.

With eyes filled with resentment, he stared intently at the raging flames. The flames had already sliced ​​through his body. His entire body was completely immobilized.

Furthermore, it seems that even the slightest movement has been lost.

Flames shot straight into the sky. At that moment, the old man seemed to have truly given up hope. The instant the flames engulfed his body, a roar erupted from his throat, representing his will: "Elizabeth, you foolish woman, sooner or later you will be besieged and killed by these demons, just like me!"

The sudden explosion of power generated an energy shock of immense magnitude. It was as if a bright star had appeared directly in the sky above the Dark City.

Suddenly, it exploded with a deafening roar. Lin Peng's brow furrowed slightly. At that moment, the Sun Shield was raised towards the sky.

Countless bursts of fiery power suddenly rose, forming a massive dome that enveloped the sky. The dazzling energy seemed unable to break free immediately.

At that moment, Blue Demon suddenly appeared beside Lin Peng. His speed was incredibly fast; he pointed his longsword towards the sky.

"Now, I finally understand why your power recovered so quickly?" Blue Demon's deep voice appeared, and his gaze towards Lin Peng suddenly became exceptionally serious.

Lin Peng picked up the Sun God Shield and said with a smile, "Yes, it's just because I want to protect! To protect those who know nothing, yet are the most vulnerable! Whether they're from the Demon Realm or humans, they're just pitiful people!"

"how about you?"

Blue Demon's tone shifted abruptly, and he spoke with great hesitation. Even as he uttered these words, he was clearly very cautious. After all, the forces and figures behind Lin Peng were simply too powerful!

Lin Peng remained silent for a while, glancing at the still-exploding flashes of light in the sky. Then, he looked down once more at the civilians in the Dark City.

Suddenly, she laughed and said, "Perhaps it's really as you say! I never truly belonged to this world, so I'm just here to protect, not to actually live a happy life... Haha..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Peng suddenly burst into laughter. The sound was so powerful that the entire sky seemed to tremble.

……

In the darkness, Caron knelt silently before a tall figure. However, this tall figure seemed to have lost half of itself.

However, even with only the lower half of the body, it appeared extremely robust and imposing. There was absolutely no indication that if it actually possessed the upper body, the statue itself might be capable of killing.

Charon's forehead was covered in sweat. It was unclear what he was worried about. And beneath the statue was a throne.

It was very wide and large, and on it lay a reclining figure. Not an ounce of excess fat. Rather, it possessed a beauty that seemed almost sculpted.

"Do you know why I saved you?" A melodious voice appeared, but Caron's forehead was covered in even more sweat.

Caron wiped the sweat from his brow and suddenly said, "I know why. I swear, unless I kill Lin Peng, I will be a traitor to the very end!"

Caron himself knew that this terrifying woman would save him because he still had some use to her. Therefore, even if it was for revenge, Caron didn't want to rely on her power.

Even if her husband could betray her, he wouldn't believe her! He dared not believe a single word she said. The woman seemed utterly exhausted, and sighed softly, "The Sun God King has sealed me here for thousands of years! Just waiting for the King of the Underworld to resurrect and kill me!"

"Do you know why the Sun God King didn't kill me back then? Instead, he fought that guy Light with all his might, and even managed to make him lose at least a thousand years' worth of strength in an instant!"

Caron didn't know if the woman was genuinely reminiscing or trying to use the opportunity to say something important. He also had no idea why she would suddenly say something like that!

"It's because that guy, Guangming, actually killed his wife. So, he spent thousands of years of power to make his wife reincarnate. But even so, he still defeated Guangming! From that moment on, I developed a fear of him! More than that, I felt a true sense of defeat from the bottom of my heart! Because of this man, all of Guangming's and my plans seem to have collapsed all at once!"

The woman's eyes suddenly lit up. She stared intently at Caron's face: "So, your mission is to kill Lin Peng!"

At this moment, Charon truly understood. No wonder—his opponent was actually the reincarnation of the Sun God King? Indeed, definitely the reincarnation of the Sun God King?

"Lin Peng's identity is none other than that guy, the Sun God King. And he's hidden so well; only a handful of people know his identity, and many others are still asleep! They have no chance of noticing him! Therefore, killing him while he's weak is the best option. Otherwise… if you and I wait for Hades and him to awaken, then…"
