Duke's Wife

Chapter 15: Chapter 15: A Miserable Victory



An Archfiend with Demonic Flame was already enough for the two of them to drink a pot of water, and next to him stood a high-ranking Demon who was eyeing him. In terms of strength, Lin Peng and Nadas were in a bad situation.

   Flattening his mouth a little, he turned to look at Nadas and said oddly, 'Then this guy, when he followed the two of us in the beginning, why didn't he use this kind of power?'

Nadas was stunned, and was really a bit confused. If there was such a power, at that time, if you sneak attacked, basically the two of you would be the life of death. Then ... that means ...

  'Hahaha ... Lundy, there is no need to bluff like this, you haven't really mastered this kind of power either, right? It's just, an early touch of this field!' Thinking about this, Nadas' eyes sharpened all of a sudden.

  Then ... at least there is still the power to fight!

'You ... Hmph, even if you don't have a true mastery, it's enough to deal with a little minion like you!' Lundy laughed coldly, and immediately, the Demonic Flame once again surfaced on the battle blade.

  'Can we stop this guy temporarily?' Lin Peng asked seriously. With the current strength, it was obvious that his side belonged to the weaker side. However, it wasn't like there wasn't a little hope of victory. His own strength should be slightly that much stronger than Nadas.

  However, the same was true for Lundy, perhaps the two of them together would be able to suppress him.

  Therefore, as long as Nadas could slightly stall Lundy a little, Lin Peng had the certainty of killing this high-ranked demon. In terms of heat, this high-ranking demon was only a mid-level one. Meanwhile, in terms of power, himself and Nadas were about the same. Himself, on the other hand, was a true peak high-ranked demon, and with those special moves, he might actually be able to kill this guy in the shortest amount of time.

  That way, perhaps, his side could actually win.

  Seeing Nadas faintly flick his head, Lin Peng's fists were already clenched tightly. At the same time, his feet powered up and he fiercely scurried out. In terms of speed, Lin Peng's speed was perhaps the quickest amongst the few.

  Therefore, that high-ranking demon also understood well enough to directly let go of his stance. To compare speed, if they weren't rivals, they could only compete in strength and stances. Compared to the others, it seemed like that high-ranked demon was very confident in his defence.

  And it was really true, only to see Lin Peng no matter how tricky the attack was. It was always defended as fast as possible, and at the same time, Lundy was also dealing with Nadas while looking for Lin Peng's breaks.

  However, just in terms of moves, Lin Peng had really dropped the ball a bit. Really, it was a very simple attack, not a bit fancy to speak of. However, in terms of speed alone, it was already considered a strong hand.

  In the forest, from time to time, a loud noise burst out. At the same time, large swathes of giant trees along with the soil tumbled up. Among them, the battle between Lundy and Nadas was still the most intense. One was an Archdemon and, moreover, had slightly mastered the power of a little bit of Demonic Flame.

  Therefore, the magic flame added to the battle sword made him even more powerful.

  If it wasn't for the fact that Nadas was already a high-ranking demon whose peak was about to break through, he really wouldn't have been able to block Lundy's ten moves.

  'Hahaha ... Lin Peng, your attack can't even break through Keren's defence. Hahaha ... you guys are dead this time! Hmph!' Saying that, after blocking Nadas's attack once more with the magic flame, the battle sword violently flung towards Lin Peng with Nadas attached.

  In an instant, Nadas as well as the magic flame brought out a reddish glowing blade light that slashed towards Lin Peng.

  Although Nadas fell towards the other side, his eyes caught Lin Peng's level of danger. A slash directly cleaved through Nadas, while the magic flame blade light flew towards Lin Peng. At the same time, Lin Peng was just leaping up to kick towards Keren's head.

  The person was in mid-air, and after the kick, while Keren blocked it, his other hand directly grabbed Lin Peng's hand. Although, the next kick might be able to directly kick away Keren's hand. However, the blade light was already directly approaching Lin Peng's back.

  Nadas clenched his teeth fiercely and kicked at the trunk of a huge tree right in mid-air. Turning around, he rushed towards Lin Peng's position.

  In fact, Lin Peng had also discovered it a long time ago. It was only that it hadn't occurred to him that Lundy could actually notice himself while fighting Nadas. In this way, it was basically certain that this Lundy had not been out of his true strength just now until now.

  At the same time, it had been just coping with Nadas while paying attention to himself.

  The heart was not normally tense, that seemed to be the fear of death. Perhaps ... it was even more the fear of not knowing if the next step would be to directly face death. However, when Nadas' figure crossed directly in front of himself, Lin Peng seemed to be a bit dumbfounded.

  When the red flare of the blade light went directly into Nadas and dragged himself into the ground, Lin Peng only managed to react.

  Looking at Nadas, who was pressed on top of himself, all of a sudden, he was somewhat unable to react. As soon as he sat up, he looked at Nadas who was lying on the ground, and spat out large mouthfuls of blood from time to time from his mouth.

  'Lin Peng ... escape ... at least ... to escape!' Originally wanted to stand up directly, but, after struggling a few times, he still lay on the ground.

  Lin Peng's eyes were wide open, and it seemed that even his breathing was a little short in general.

  'Hahaha ... This time, let's see how you two can still escape. Haha ... Nadas, do you think Lin Peng can still escape? Ah? Hahaha... 'Lundy said with a rampant laugh as he walked.

On the battle sword in his hand, the demonic flame was once again attached. At the same time, towards Lin Peng, he slowly raised his battle sword high.

  However, at the same time, an extremely dazzling light shot out from Lin Peng's position. The current Lundy, although he had raised his battle sword, was very relaxed in his mind, although he still directly brought his battle sword down horizontally.

However, after the real next second, Lundy slowly fell to the ground with his eyes wide open. Bang ... smashed up a piece of dust.

  That originally stalwart face, at this time is more full of some kind of fear in general.

  On the other hand, Keren's eyes were wide open, as if he had dreamed, he also slapped his face. However, at the next moment, a sharp battle knife directly made him face a penetrating cold.

  When the tip of the war knife passed through his body, it was only then that he took a look and looked down at the position of his heart.

  At the same time, unwillingly, he slowly fell to the ground.

  'I can't believe that you still have strength!' Lin Peng's head was covered in sweat as he lay directly on the ground in a big shape, panting. That scorching ray of light just now, in fact, to put it mildly, it was still just a stance that he had just comprehended this time.

  And that kind of heat, although it was just that much higher than a fireball. However, the current Lundy's neck was still burned with a huge hole. So much so, that it seemed to have burnt the skin, and there was no excess blood flowing out at all.

  Originally, Lin Peng, who could have sent out at least a dozen fireballs, hard not use more. Instead, he slowly gathered his strength and used it. The fireballs counted as not very powerful. Moreover, the speed at which they flew out was not very fast. At the same time, with such a large target, the average opponent would definitely dodge.

  That was why he had been holding back until now, which was why he directly shot out that fatal strike.

  With such a sneak attack alone, if Lundy wasn't vigilant, he wouldn't be able to defend himself at all. Just like that, Lundy could only slash the blade light a few times. In terms of using magic flames, it was comparable to Lin Peng's use of flames.

  However, after catching his breath for quite a while, Lin Peng looked somewhat strangely at Nadas, who was still unresponsive.

  The shocking wounds were still flowing blood non-stop. Nadas slowly leaned towards the tree trunk, seemingly without much strength left.

  Lin Peng jumped up and helped Nadas to sit down slowly. Right in the middle of his chest, Nadas' injury was not normally serious. From the overturned flesh, one could see the bones inside, as well as some tendons that had been damaged.

  'Hehe ... looks like I might actually be dying. But ... dying to see Lundy's demise, it is also considered ... lucky!' Nadas strongly covered his wounds and laughed foolishly.

  'Why ... why did you save me?' Lin Peng wrinkled no, asked softly.

  'Oh ... I grew up ... with that kind of insult ... I... ...only the ... first son of a small merchant ... and ... mother was just a maid... ...Haha ... You have to know ... that my mother was killed alive directly in front of me because I was angry and stole a bit of medicine from that bastard! Hahaha ... I've been in Darkmoon City since I arrived ... If it wasn't for Princess Irene approving my entry into the city defence team ... Otherwise... ...would have just been a rogue, a bandit! Haha ... I know that with an injury like this, even if you save it, you will definitely fall sick. On the contrary, if you escape. Even if you are injured and can t raise your strength ... once again, you ... can ... help Her Highness with your head! You said ... of course I will help ... you! Like me, people who have not eaten a full meal since childhood have been in the Dark Moon City like this scenery. At least ... in these three years, I have truly slept peacefully and eaten well. Haha ... enough!'

  Looking at Nadas perhaps should have thought of the place of anger, and extraordinarily excited continuous words, Lin Peng's heart, surprisingly had a feeling of empathy. Moreover, in the middle of his head, he actually naturally thought of his own childhood.

  After deflating his mouth and taking a deep breath, 'If, this time, the two of us can go back, I will definitely help you and kill that bastard!'

  Nadas shook his head powerlessly and smiled bitterly, 'I'm going to die soon can ... I go back?' 

  Lin Peng froze, and then hemmed and hawed. His hand reached into that small leather pouch on his waist and slowly took out a small bottle, 'It won't die, this time, neither of us will die!'
