While Qian Renxue was desperately resisting the suction force of the black vortex, she seized a moment of lull in the attack to turn to Di Tian and the others, her face contorted with rage and anxiety. She shouted,
"Don't you understand? The Qian Renshang you know now is not the same person you knew before!
He has long been corrupted by this evil power, becoming a monster who only knows killing and destruction!"
Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the others were overwhelmed with shock.
"This... what on earth is going on?"
Xiong Jun stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
Bi Ji frowned, a hint of doubt and worry flashing in her eyes.
"How could Qian Renshang be corrupted by evil forces?
With his willpower, ordinary forces shouldn't be able to affect him at all."
Bi Ji's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she softly said, "Perhaps he encountered an extremely powerful and evil being during his training and was accidentally affected.
But the specific reason is probably only known to this imposter."
The Demon King, perched on a thick tree branch, coldly stared at "Qian Renshang" (Lucifer). "No matter what, we cannot let this evil person succeed."
Di Tian took a deep breath and said firmly, "That's right, we must find out what happened to Qian Renshang. Even if he was really corrupted, we must find a way to save him.
But before that, let's deal with this trouble first!"
At this moment, "Qian Renshang" (Lucifer), seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, laughed wildly:
"Haha, you want to save him? Don't dream! His soul has already been devoured by me
. Now I am Qian Renshang, and this world will tremble beneath my feet!"
Lucifer said, his hands suddenly waving, and the power of the black vortex suddenly increased several times.
The powerful suction made it increasingly difficult for Di Tian and the others to resist, and their figures were pulled even closer.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and said, "We can't continue to be passive like this. We must take the initiative!"
As she spoke, a purplish-black Rakshasa Demon Sword materialized in her hand, its blade swirling with eerie mist.
She hurled the demon sword towards the black vortex.
The demon sword spun rapidly in mid-air, piercing towards Lucifer at the center of the vortex with a sharp aura.
Lucifer, however, was not afraid at all.
He raised his hand and shot out a black beam of light, accurately striking the Rakshasa Demon Sword.
The demon sword was instantly enveloped by black energy, emitting a "sizzling" sound, and began to gradually dissolve.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue wielded the Angel Sword, unleashing a dazzling golden holy flame that attacked Lucifer.
Wherever the golden holy flame passed, space itself was scorched and distorted.
Lucifer snorted coldly, his dark energy coalescing into a massive shield that blocked the attack of the golden holy flames.
The holy flames collided with the dark shield, erupting in dazzling light and a deafening roar.
Emperor Tian seized the opportunity, his purple-gold dragon shadow roaring as it charged towards Lucifer, its claws gleaming with a metallic sheen as it viciously grabbed at him.
Lucifer dodged to the side, easily avoiding Emperor Tian's attack.
However, in that instant, Snow Empress manipulated countless ice spikes, shooting towards him from all directions.
Lucifer's hands moved rapidly, black energy forming a massive barrier that blocked the ice spikes.
Taking advantage of Lucifer's distraction, Bear King suddenly charged forward, its massive bear paw carrying immense force, smashing towards Lucifer's head.
A hint of disdain flashed in Lucifer's eyes as he raised his fist and clashed with Bear King's paw.
With a deafening boom, Bear King's massive body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing into a grove of trees.
Brigitte quickly used her healing powers to help Xiong Jun recover from his injuries.
The Demon King manipulated the surrounding trees, and countless thick vines sprouted from the ground, rapidly coiling towards Lucifer.
Dark flames erupted around Lucifer, instantly incinerating the vines.
Although the group's attacks failed to harm Lucifer, they temporarily prevented him from further strengthening the black vortex.
