Just as everyone was on high alert, Lucifer's figure flashed like a ghost, instantly breaking through the hastily constructed defenses.
The terrifying power of the black vortex seemed to be merely a feint; taking advantage of the distraction, he struck Bibi Dong like a black lightning bolt.
"No!"
Qian Renxue watched helplessly as Lucifer closed in, Bibi Dong unable to dodge, and Lucifer grabbed her by the neck.
Lucifer's hand, like an iron clamp, dug deep into Bibi Dong's skin, lifting her feet off the ground, and causing the Rakshasa Scythe in her hand to slip limply from her grasp.
Lucifer's expression was incredibly ferocious, his eyes flashing with madness and triumph:
"Bibi Dong, you have finally fallen to me today!"
Bibi Dong's face flushed red, and she tried desperately to pry Lucifer's hand away, but his strength was as unyielding as steel.
Her legs struggled in vain, attempting to attack Lucifer with her knees, but Lucifer easily dodged them.
Qian Renxue's mind was thrown into chaos, and she nearly dropped the Angel Sword in her hand. "Let go of my mother!"
She charged towards Lucifer recklessly, ignoring her own injuries. Golden light flashed wildly around her, her last remaining strength burning.
Di Tian and the others' expressions changed drastically.
Xiong Jun roared furiously, his palms radiating a bright, earthy yellow light, and countless sharp rocks erupted from the ground, piercing towards Lucifer.
The Demon King manipulated countless vines, coiling around Lucifer like pythons, attempting to bind him.
Qian Renxue was frantic, seeing Bibi Dong in dire straits.
She charged towards Lucifer again, her angel sword gleaming with unprecedented light.
However, Lucifer merely waved his hand, and a thick, inky black power instantly appeared before Qian Renxue, forming an unbreakable barrier.
Qian Renxue's angel sword slammed into the dark barrier, sending up a shower of black sparks, but the barrier remained unmoved.
Qian Renxue refused to give up, relentlessly wielding her Angel Sword. Each strike was imbued with her intense desire to rescue Bibi Dong, but the dark barrier remained firmly blocking her path.
Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the Demon King's expressions were extremely grave.
Despite their best efforts, they were no match for Lucifer.
Their previous clashes had clearly demonstrated the vast difference in strength between them, and now they could only watch helplessly as Bibi Dong struggled on the brink of death, their hearts filled with helplessness and resentment.
The Beast Kings wore complex expressions.
Although Bibi Dong had many grudges with the Star Dou Great Forest, if she, as Qian Renshang's mother, were to die here, the situation would become even more complicated and troublesome.
Was a tragedy like Qian Renshang murdering his mother truly about to occur today?
Lucifer stood before Bibi Dong, a twisted smile on his face.
He looked at the beleaguered crowd as if enjoying a spectacular farce.
"Haha, you ants, now you know the taste of despair!
Qian Renshang, haven't you always wanted to kill Bibi Dong?
Today I'll grant you that wish!"
Lucifer spoke, slowly raising the black scythe in his hand.
The dark power on the scythe writhed like a venomous snake, emanating a chilling aura.
Bibi Dong was now powerless to resist. She slightly opened her eyes, looking at Lucifer before her, a resolute glint in them.
Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, looking at the face bearing Qian Renshang's likeness so close to her, and rage burned fiercely within her.
This face should have belonged to her son, despite their countless entanglements. Now, possessed by the devil Lucifer, she felt an uncontrollable rage.
"You demon!"
Bibi Dong roared through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with fury.
"How dare you wear his face! If Qian Renshang is to die, he can only die by my hand!"
Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at Lucifer, as if she wanted to devour him alive.
