However, the beast easily dodged her attack and opened its bloody mouth to bite her. Liu Yanran narrowly dodged sideways, but was hit by the beast's tail and fell heavily to the ground. She felt a sharp pain and saw stars in her eyes.
The beast lunged at her again, and Liu Yanran was powerless to dodge. At that moment, a dazzling light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping the beast. In the light, the beast roared in pain before slowly turning to ash.
