My Beautiful Duchess Wife

The lake water made a splashing sound, boiling and churning, and began to surge to both sides. A structure, resembling a real palace, slowly rose up.

At the same time, the statue of the moon goddess had already poked its head out. It looked as if it had come to life, with the power of moonlight flowing through its cheeks.

Lin Peng stopped what he was doing, because at that moment, the Queen of the Underworld seemed to have suddenly stopped attacking. She squinted her blue, pool-like eyes and stared quietly at the statue of the Moon Goddess.

"Thousands of years have passed, you should hate me, right?" It's unclear whether this was a sigh between women or a different kind of thought.

At this moment, the Queen of the Underworld truly seemed to be recalling something.

Lin Peng pondered for a moment, seemingly considering how to ambush the woman. However, just as the entire Moon Goddess Palace rose from the lake...

Completely different from last time, because now the Moon Palace seemed like a luminous palace. Moreover, the mysterious moonlight slightly turned the entire lake surface into a silvery expanse.

Furthermore, it possesses a power that seems almost transparent, allowing you to clearly see the entire palace complex of the Moon Goddess Palace. The layout inside appears perfectly clear as well.

At the very top of the palace, a long staircase appeared, leading all the way to the altar. On the altar, there seemed to be some unidentified tools.

It's hard to make out its exact appearance. All I know is that it looks enormous. It seems like a war chariot. Or perhaps it's a fortress.

When the Queen of the Underworld saw the fortress-like chariot, she seemed to have suddenly discovered something. In an instant, she completely ignored Lin Peng and vanished without a trace.

"Stop her quickly! This woman wants to destroy the war chariot that can traverse space!" The Snake King was shocked and was about to stop her when...

A whirlwind of wind-god speed appeared, forming a tornado that blocked the Snake King's path. Naturally, the Snake King was also extremely annoyed at this moment.

This guy was definitely someone I could have killed. Unfortunately, the Queen of the Underworld seems to have healed his injuries. So, at least I have some time to keep him occupied.

Harris and Blue Demon were perhaps the fastest to react. Harris shot off in an instant, quickly overtaking the Queen of the Underworld, his longsword pointing towards the sky.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning resembling dark black appeared. The Queen of the Underworld looked at the lightning, her expression still cold: "In the past, you might have only needed three moves to kill me. But do you think you are still my match now?"

Harris smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened. But the lightning still struck, carrying a dark power, like a punishment descending from the sky.

The Queen of the Underworld raised her right hand slightly, and instantly, lightning struck a dark mist. As the mist dissipated, countless sharp swords shot out.

They all hurtled towards Harris. Blue Demon arrived just in time, simultaneously unleashing an Ice Shield that instantly blocked the swords.

The Queen of the Underworld, however, veered aside, intending to rush forward first. Now was the time to truly race against time. Therefore, she could not afford to delay.

They had barely flown out, and were still some distance from the statue of the moon goddess, when a scorching flame, accompanied by a howling sound, arrived.

With a deafening roar, bursts of fire erupted, accompanied by the dark, sharp swords. The entire space seemed to instantly become scorching hot.

At the same time, Lin Peng struck first. He immediately launched countless small golden swords, all of which pierced towards the dark, sharp swords.

The entire sky seemed to transform into a world of mist and flames in an instant. And the statue of the moon goddess suddenly burst forth with countless beams of moonlight.

They also shot towards the Queen of the Underworld's body.

The Queen of the Underworld waved her hands rapidly, and a considerable amount of mist began to slowly gather. In the sky, the dark clouds that Hades had summoned reappeared.

It seemed to have become somewhat faint at this moment. Moreover, it appeared to be about to separate into pieces. Blue Demon and Harris knew that this was definitely the Queen of the Underworld intending to unleash some kind of domain.

Suddenly, both of them channeled their power into their own dark clouds and the snowflakes, trying to restrain the Queen of the Underworld's power so that Lin Peng could have less of a burden.

The Queen of the Underworld's eyes flickered, and this time, the mist between her hands suddenly shot towards the Moon Goddess Palace below. In an instant, the entire Moon Goddess Palace seemed to become somewhat gloomy.

Lin Peng was taken aback; this woman was truly extraordinary. She could remain so composed even when surrounded on three sides.

Moreover, what was that thing that was thrown down? In that moment of hesitation, suddenly, the ground of the Moon Goddess Palace shook violently.

Instantly, numerous dark, reddish beams of light burst forth. One of these beams bounced off Lin Peng's feet.

Instantly, Lin Peng was propelled high into the air by the beam of light. The Queen of the Underworld reacted swiftly, disappearing from sight. A jade-like hand was already gripping Lin Peng's neck.

At this close distance, one can see even more of the Queen of the Underworld's beauty. Furthermore, one can see the coldness in her eyes, as if she were about to crush Lin Peng's throat.

Moreover, it could be crushed in an instant.

At his waist, whether from the burning sensation or something else, the Sun Shield suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light.

The Queen of the Underworld turned her head and grabbed Lin Peng's hand, flinging him away as if she couldn't bear the pain. Lin Peng, of course, was thrown to the ground by this sudden movement.

He landed right on the steps leading up to the altar. After a tumble, Lin Peng clutched his throat and coughed. He looked to be in great pain.

He secretly thought to himself that this woman had definitely intended to kill him; otherwise, she wouldn't have resorted to such methods. The beam of light, however, didn't seem to have the power to kill him. Nevertheless, it still hurt quite a bit when it struck him.

Raising their heads, Harris and Blue Demon were still suppressing the Queen of the Underworld's domain. Meanwhile, the Queen of the Underworld was rapidly flying towards that direction. The Serpent King, on the other hand, seemed close to defeating the Wind God.

Now, the Wind God can only flee aimlessly. Otherwise, he will be killed! His body is covered in wounds once again.

However, just as the Serpent King was about to turn and attack the Queen of the Underworld, he was immediately stopped. This truly enraged the Serpent King. Perhaps, before long, he could prevent the Wind God from reincarnating. Nor would he need to slumber. Let him face death directly!

"Looks like I'll have to rely on myself after all!" Lin Peng muttered to himself before quickly running up the steps. However, skulls kept appearing on the steps.

One by one, they wielded short blades and slashed at him. With a slight turn of his spear, he sent them charging up the steps, one by one. These skulls, without a doubt, were summoned by the Queen of the Underworld.

However, they proved utterly useless against spears. But with such a large number of them, they had no choice but to charge forward.

In less than fifteen minutes, Lin Peng finally stepped onto the steps. Before him stood a gigantic war chariot, resembling a statue.

At the front of the chariot appeared eight warhorses, like statues. Each horse seemed poised to roar to the sky.

Furthermore, flames seemed to burn on its back and neck. The Queen of the Underworld, at this moment, stood before this chariot. The mist in her hand transformed directly into a spear.

It seems that a spear has already pierced the wheel of this chariot!

Chapter Twenty-Five: Offensive Round Shield

"Back then, you sat in this chariot and sealed me in the deepest part of the underworld, in the King of the Underworld's palace, on that throne," the Queen of the Underworld murmured, her back to the massive chariot.

Behind him, Lin Peng was taken aback, genuinely unsure who she was talking to. However, judging from the situation, she seemed to be speaking to him. It seemed this woman wouldn't normally talk to him so politely, would she?

"You seem to have forgotten, haven't you? Heh... Back then, you said you'd let your brother deal with his woman." The Queen of the Underworld slowly turned around, looking at him with a smile.

There was a very peculiar look in his eyes. He seemed quite reluctant to part with it!

"Unfortunately, it seems Harris has handed you over to me now! Hehe... In that case, I'll take care of you!" Lin Peng said with a smile.

He didn't feel at all that the current situation was particularly unfavorable to him. In fact, there was absolutely no advantage to him. The Queen of the Underworld was far stronger than him. As for chariots and the like, they seemed like mere statues; he felt no sense of being able to control them.

But when it came to the actual number of people, after looking around, it seemed like he was the only one. Suddenly, he chuckled to himself, "Actually, if you just kill me, you can destroy this chariot very quickly!"

The words were spoken calmly and casually, as if they were always meant to be. The Queen of the Underworld was taken aback at first, then her pearly white teeth, as white as seashells, were revealed, and she bit her lip.

It was as if he had bitten into bright red blood: "Do you really want me to kill you? Or... should we settle this now?"

Lin Peng gripped his spear slightly, then summoned the Sun God Shield with his right hand. Both sacred artifacts emitted a faint golden light.

Suddenly, her entire body shot out like a cannonball. In an instant, the spear pierced the Queen of the Underworld's jade hand. However, it felt as if she had struck a piece of raw iron.

However, even steel would have been pierced through. Let alone a hand made of flesh? Of course, at this moment, the Queen of the Underworld's hand was covered with a faint layer of dark mist.

His gaze suddenly turned cold as he said, "Darkness has its own power, and Creation has its own power. When they first appeared, perhaps Darkness couldn't defeat Creation. But now, it's no match for Darkness! Of course, it seems the power of Light has also grown considerably stronger!"

"What do you mean by that? Don't you also possess great power?" Lin Peng blinked and said with amusement.

The Queen of the Underworld smiled faintly, her eyes gazing into the distance. It seemed she had already seen through this entire space. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Speaking of which, do you know the true power of Creation and Darkness? Even that Ancestor, you are no match for him!"

"Of course I'm no match for him, and besides, I probably couldn't even beat one of your clones! Hehe... So what? I'm lucky, well, very lucky! Perhaps, it was just a coincidence that I defeated you?"

Lin Peng gave a strange laugh and said something. As soon as he finished speaking, the Queen of the Underworld flicked her hand holding the spear, and Lin Peng was sent flying.

It was immediately mounted on the chariot's wheel. Even as a single wheel, it appeared exceptionally enormous, standing over five meters tall.

Such chariots can only be pulled by horses of this type. Otherwise, ordinary horses wouldn't be able to pull them, and even magical beasts would have a hard time doing so.

With a muffled thud, Lin Peng rubbed his chest, seemingly in pain. However, he slowly stood up, twisted his neck and body, and said again, "It seems like you're letting me win? If that's the case, you might lose!"

The Queen of the Underworld smiled casually, saying nothing. Giving him any leeway was out of the question. That swing just now, she had definitely used all her strength.

However, Lin Peng's body is now perhaps extremely resilient. It's simply impossible for him to fall apart from a single impact. Furthermore, it's impossible for him to be injured from a mere flick of the wrist!

Even under such an explosion, although protected by the Sun Shield, his physical strength was still a factor. Otherwise, the impact alone might have caused internal injuries to his body!

After standing up, the Queen of the Underworld began to move her hands once more. Dark red halos of light appeared on the ground, tossed into the air.

He was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what it was. This was definitely one of those things that could shoot out beams of light. Although, being hit by something like that didn't seem to cause any harm.

However, there will also be a split second of pain when they lose their chance to react. Then, basically, they'll be under this woman's control!

His footwork suddenly quickened, as if he were moving in phases. One moment he was running to the left, the next he was running to the right.

Because she has lost the power of her domain. She is still fighting against Blue Demon and Harris. It seems that the Queen of the Underworld can only unleash such magical attacks now!

Of course, in hand-to-hand combat, she would definitely be no match for Lin Peng. She knew that the murderous aura from back then was the Sun God King's exclusive hand-to-hand combat skill!

Of course, at this point, he might not know how.

The Queen of the Underworld was certainly still unclear. Therefore, she could only use this kind of magic to chase after Lin Peng! Outside the palace below, a cold and beautiful woman...

The Serpent King, Hades Harris, and Blue Demon all looked towards the altar with some concern, for all they could see were constantly flashing pillars of light.

However, Lin Peng was nowhere to be seen. Nor was the Queen of the Underworld!

That beam of light was the very beam that struck Lin Peng just now. Furthermore, he was immediately grabbed by the Queen of the Underworld. Clearly, she wasn't entirely confident in his strength.

However, this was Lin Peng's true moment of arrogance. Even the Queen of the Underworld couldn't catch up with him. His speed had reached its peak at this moment.

They couldn't even touch him. They couldn't even tell where he was. They could only see him briefly, releasing a beam of light.

Moreover, the mist around the Queen of the Underworld began to slowly gather. Two pairs of wings sprouted from her back. These wings seemed to be maintaining the power of the pillar of light.

Lin Peng, who had been circling the outer edge of the chariot, suddenly stopped his phase shift with a slight twist of his head.

In her left hand, the Sun God Shield suddenly transformed into a beam of light like a miniature sun. The brightness was so intense that the Queen of the Underworld couldn't even open her eyes.

He even tried to block out the light with his hand, hoping to better adapt to it. Just then, Lin Peng suddenly darted out.

The spear in his hand shone brightly at this moment, carrying powerful, scorching flames, and in an instant, it pierced towards the Queen of the Underworld's head.

At that very moment, the pillars of light that had been exploding towards the sky seemed to reverse, turning back as if they could be twisted. They even seemed to stick to Lin Peng's body.

The Queen of the Underworld slowly released her hand. She looked at Lin Peng with a smile, clearly having been waiting for this opportunity. She immediately realized Lin Peng's intentions.

At that time, the Snake King had told him that the higher the level of the battle, the more important it is to examine one's own tactics!

Thinking of this, Lin Peng laughed: "Isn't it that you feel you've already caught me? So you're very happy!" Hearing this, the Queen of the Underworld smiled and nodded.

It seemed that this was indeed the case. However, at this moment, Lin Peng truly launched his deepest attack! Suddenly, he hooked his finger towards the center of the light!

Instantly, the miniature sun seemed to come alive, shooting towards the Queen of the Underworld with incredible speed—so fast that she had no time to react!
