Lucifer dodged the sword's edge with a swift sidestep, then glanced disdainfully at Qian Renxue.
"You think you can save her?"
Lucifer stared at the weakened Bibi Dong before him, his killing intent surging.
His already distorted face became even more ferocious, like a demon from the deepest depths of hell.
In his mind, once Bibi Dong was killed, the others, without this powerful ally, would be no match for him.
After slaughtering everyone present, he would find a secluded place to hide and slowly recover and develop his dark power.
At that time, even the God Realm would be nothing more than a piece of his pouch.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"Die, all of you!"
Lucifer roared, his scythe, radiating a dense dark aura and carrying world-destroying power, slashing down fiercely at Bibi Dong once more.
Wherever the scythe passed, space seemed to be torn apart, black cracks spreading rapidly like a spiderweb.
Qian Renxue's eyes were bloodshot, her heart burning with anxiety.
With her last ounce of strength, she hurled the Angel's Sword at Lucifer.
"Mother, I won't let you die!"
The Angel's Sword transformed into a dazzling golden light, shooting towards Lucifer like a meteor, its speed so fast it was almost blinding.
Lucifer merely gave a contemptuous snort, making no attempt to dodge.
Dark power erupted around him, forming a solid black shield.
"Clang!"
The Angel's Sword struck the shield fiercely, scattering countless golden and black sparks, but ultimately failed to break through, falling helplessly to the ground.
Bibi Dong stared at the scythe, so close yet imbued with boundless dark power, her eyes filled with despair and resignation.
She slowly closed her eyes, awaiting death, her heart filled with mixed emotions—regret for the past, and resentment for the future—but at this moment, everything seemed to be coming to an end.
But at this critical moment, a sudden change occurred.
Lucifer's hand, which had been holding high with his scythe, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Bibi Dong, suddenly seemed to be bound by an invisible force, freezing in mid-air.
Not only that, but all the muscles in his body seemed to be frozen, making it incredibly difficult to muster even the slightest bit of strength.
His expression instantly turned extremely ugly, his eyes widening in terror and disbelief.
"What...what's going on?"
Lucifer roared inwardly, struggling desperately to break free from the shackles of this mysterious power, but all in vain.
The power was as heavy as a mountain, suppressing him completely, rendering him immobile.
Qian Renxue and the others, who had initially given up hope, now felt a glimmer of hope rekindle.
They stopped their prepared attacks, looking at Lucifer with bewildered expressions, wondering what had happened.
"Could it be...that an even more powerful being has intervened?"
Xiong Jun, enduring the excruciating pain, murmured.
The Demon King and the Snow Empress exchanged a glance, both seeing the same shock and confusion in each other's eyes.
Bibi Dong also sensed the anomaly, slowly opening her eyes.
When she saw Lucifer's immobilized state, a flicker of surprise crossed her eyes.
"How could this be..."
She murmured softly, equally bewildered by this sudden turn of events.
The others also keenly noticed the abnormality in Lucifer, exchanging glances filled with astonishment and uncertainty.
"What exactly is going on? Is there still a chance for the situation to turn around?"
The Demon King couldn't help but whisper, his massive body trembling slightly, a mixture of relief at surviving a calamity and fear of the unknown.
