Knowing there was no escape, Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes, and abruptly turned to face Lucifer.
She took a deep breath, gathering all her divine power, her body radiating a dazzling golden light, like a brilliant sun.
That light contained the power of holiness and justice, a stark contrast to the dark aura surrounding Lucifer.
"Lucifer, you evil demon, today I will fight you to the death! Light will surely triumph over darkness!"
Qian Renxue roared, her voice filled with fury and defiance.
The holy spear in her hand shone brightly, golden flames leaping at its tip, as if declaring her battle intent to Lucifer.
At this moment, besides hatred for Lucifer, Qian Renxue also felt deep worry and doubt about Qian Renshang.
She didn't know if the Qian Renshang she knew was still the same person she once knew; all these changes tormented her heart.
But at this moment, she had no time to think about such things; her only thought was to fight this demon to the bitter end with all her might.
Lucifer, seeing that Qian Renxue had stopped fleeing and instead chosen to fight, couldn't help but sneer:
"Hmph, an overconfident ant. Since you want to die, then I'll grant your wish!"
With that, he rapidly formed hand seals, and dark power gathered before him like a surging tide.
Instantly, a gigantic phantom of a dark demon appeared behind him, its claws bared and its aura chilling.
Lucifer swung his hand sharply, and the phantom of the dark demon roared as it lunged at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue was fearless. She channeled her divine power into her sacred spear, unleashing the angelic race's top-tier divine skill, "Holy Lance Judgment."
A massive golden spear shadow flew from her hand, carrying a world-destroying momentum, meeting the phantom of the dark demon head-on.
"Boom!"
The two collided violently, unleashing a powerful energy storm.
The surrounding space shattered instantly, forming black voids.
The area where Qian Renxue and Lucifer were located was shrouded in intense light and darkness, making it impossible to see what was inside.
As the light and darkness gradually dissipated, Qian Renxue and Lucifer reappeared.
A trace of blood trickled from the corner of Qian Renxue's mouth, and several wounds appeared on her body; her divine power had also dimmed somewhat.
Lucifer, however, only frowned slightly, seemingly unharmed.
"With this little strength, you dare to oppose me?"
Lucifer sneered, gathering his dark power once more, preparing for his next attack.
Qian Renxue, however, showed no sign of backing down. She wiped the blood from her lips, her fighting spirit growing even stronger:
"Lucifer, don't be too smug, I haven't lost yet!"
With that, she raised her holy spear again, ready to meet Lucifer's attack…
A cruel smile curled at the corner of Lucifer's lips, his eyes filled with disdain.
He swung his hands, dark power writhing like black pythons, sweeping wildly towards Qian Renxue.
Each "python" contained destructive power; wherever it passed, space shattered, emitting chilling sounds.
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, desperately gathering her remaining divine power into her holy spear.
She unleashed the seventh transformation of the Nine Transformations of Angels—"Celestial Divine Light"—attempting to use this powerful light to resist Lucifer's attack.
A blinding golden light erupted from the spear, forming a massive golden shield that protected her.
However, Lucifer's dark power was too overwhelming. The black "serpents" slammed into the golden shield, producing a hissing sound.
The shield began to tremble violently, countless tiny cracks appearing on its surface.
Qian Renxue could feel her divine power rapidly depleting, the shield on the verge of shattering.
"Ah!"
Qian Renxue cried out, attempting to strengthen the shield again, but it was all in vain.
With a crisp crack, the golden shield shattered completely, and dark power surged towards her like a tidal wave.
