The horrific image of her grandfather's self-destruction flashed through her mind, filling her with endless grief and rage.
"Qian Renxue, you can't escape!"
Lucifer's cold, cruel voice came from behind, like a death sentence.
As the distance closed, Lucifer raised his right hand, dark power rapidly condensing into a massive black sphere in his palm.
The sphere contained an aura of destruction, flickering and pulsating, as if ready to explode at any moment.
"Die!"
Lucifer roared, hurling the black sphere at Qian Renxue. Like a shooting star, the black sphere streaked across the sky with tremendous force, hurtling towards Qian Renxue…
Qian Renxue's expression changed drastically.
She never expected Lucifer's speed to be so terrifying, closing the distance with ghostly speed.
Feeling the overwhelming, destructive dark power surging towards her from behind, despair welled up within her.
But the instinct for survival unleashed unprecedented potential within her.
A flash of light appeared in Qian Renxue's hand, and the sacred spear reappeared. She frantically poured all her divine power into it.
The spear emitted a dazzling golden light, which seemed to suppress the surrounding dark power.
Immediately afterward, Qian Renxue unleashed the angelic race's life-saving divine technique—"Angel's Wings of Protection."
A pair of enormous wings, formed from pure divine power, instantly sprouted from her back. With a gentle flap, they created a powerful golden storm.
This storm collided head-on with the black orb of light hurled by Lucifer.
"Boom!" The two collided, unleashing a deafening roar. Powerful energy ripples spread outwards.
Space itself cracked under the impact of this force, as if it might shatter at any moment.
Qian Renxue felt an overwhelming force surge towards her; her body was thrown forward uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Although she successfully withstood Lucifer's attack, Qian Renxue suffered considerable injuries.
She knew she couldn't continue like this indefinitely.
Taking advantage of the moment before Lucifer could attack again, Qian Renxue endured the excruciating pain, once more flapping her Angelic Wings of Protection, and continued her escape.
Lucifer, seeing that Qian Renxue had withstood his attack, showed a flicker of surprise in his eyes, but mostly, he was filled with rage.
"Hmph, you've got some skill, but let's see how long you can last!"
Lucifer sneered, his twelve wings flapping rapidly once more, his speed even greater than before, chasing after Qian Renxue like a black streak of light.
Qian Renxue turned back and saw Lucifer chasing after her again, inwardly groaning.
She knew that most of her divine power had been used up in the previous defenses; if she received a few more attacks like this, she would surely die.
But she couldn't give up. She had to cherish the chance to escape that her grandfather had risked his life for.
"No matter what, I must live, I must avenge my grandfather and the Spirit Hall!"
Qian Renxue vowed silently, a resolute glint in her eyes.
She concentrated all her energy, keeping an eye on Lucifer's movements behind her while searching for a possible escape route…
