Another beam of dark red light shot from the sea and struck the Qingyun Sect disciples.
"Heh, heh, heh..."
A long laugh rang out. Elder Nian and the other fiends of the Blood Refining Hall appeared alongside the beautiful woman, Liu Hao, and Wild Dog Daoist, then joined the assault on the Qingyun Sect disciples.
After the Bloodsucking Fiend was slain, the Blood Refining Hall had grown weaker still. To avoid being cast aside, its members had thrown in their lot with Baiduzi.
Elder Nian and the others had expected to earn some merit. Instead, they had run into another formidable opponent.
The Demonic Cult had strength in numbers and, for the moment, surrounded the Orthodox Dao disciples.
Song Daren and Wen Min joined forces, hastily swinging their immortal swords at Elder Nian, Wild Dog Daoist, and the others. Blades clashed in a furious exchange.
On the other side, Lu Xueqi shot Baiduzi a cold glare and charged with her sword.
Boom!
A towering wave surged up. Howling wind and rain blasted everyone nearby aside.
Lu Xueqi reappeared amid the wind and rain. Her face was pale, the divine light protecting her had scattered, and her robes were soaked. For the first time, a trace of vulnerability showed through her beauty.
"Three-Part Dominion!"
Lu Chen descended from the sky, guiding his pagoda as he fired a finger strike at Baiduzi.
Bai Bing, Chen Chen, Xiao Yicai, and the others closed in and attacked Baiduzi together.
Within a few moves, they had killed him.
"Run!"
Elder Nian, Wild Dog Daoist, and several others who knew how formidable their opponents were led the retreat.
The situation changed at once.
Tian Buyi and the others also drove back the enemies before them and regrouped with the disciples.
Just then, a white cloud flickered
