Rescue from the Interception Sect at the Critical Moment

After saying that, Xuan Liu flipped his right hand.

"Rumble!!"

The Thunder Emperor Dharma Manifestation condensed from endless violent lightning rose thunderously from behind him.

The Thunder Emperor Dharma Manifestation stretched out a massive hand, carrying boundless, violently destructive tribulation lightning.

It collided head-on with the poisonous mist crashing down, like a raging lunar torrent.

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, explosions rang out without cease throughout the surroundings.

The Thunder Emperor Secret Art was profound and flawless.

But Nine-Infant's true body had, after all, entered the Quasi-Saint realm.

Moreover, this incarnation possessed the cultivation of a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo.

There was ultimately a world of difference between an early-stage Golden Immortal of the Great Luo and a peak Golden Immortal of Taiyi.

The endless lightning shattered inch by inch beneath the attack of Nine-Infant's incarnation, vanishing into nothingness.

The terrifying torrent of demonic qi swept backward. Several shallow wounds had been forcibly torn open by lightning across the bizarre serpent heads of Nine-Infant's incarnation, and wisps of green smoke rose from them.

Yet they were merely minor injuries, hardly worth mentioning.

Xuan Liu, on the other hand, was sent flying back an immense distance, while a faint taste of blood surged up from his throat.

"Roar!! Arrogant junior, die!!"

Seeing that a single strike had driven his opponent back, the bloodthirst in Nine-Infant's incarnation's eyes surged madly.

Its nine enormous serpent heads roared in unison.

Its nine feet stomped fiercely through the void, and the entire incarnation seemed to turn into a crimson streak of starlight spanning the river of fate.

Like an avalanche and tsunami, it launched a frenzied attack straight at Xuan Liu's face.

In an instant, an incomparably immense and terrifying pressure, so heavy that even the surrounding space seemed to solidify, sealed off every route of retreat available to Xuan Liu.

"Nine-Infant, how dare you harm the Fifth Junior Brother of our Interception Sect!!"

At this critical and perilous moment—

A voice brimming with fury suddenly rang out like thunder.

"Rip!!!"

With a tearing sound, four long rainbows carrying boundless pressure descended into the center of the battlefield in an instant.

The man at the forefront wore a bright yellow patchwork Daoist robe. He had a well-fed build, yet his refined features carried an incomparably wondrous immortal aura.

Above his head, a nine-tiered Duobao Pagoda circulated on its own, erupting with endless immortal light.

He was none other than the Interception Sect's foremost personal disciple—

Duobao Daoist!

Behind him to the left stood Golden Spirit Holy Mother, draped in a golden luan-feather robe woven with silk. Her phoenix eyes radiated majesty. With the Flying Gold Sword in hand and the Four Symbols Pagoda above her head, the sharp aura emanating from her shook heaven and earth.

To the right stood the tall, broad-browed Zhao Gongming, with twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls in hand and a black tiger circling beneath him.

Last came Yunxiao Fairy, her plain white immortal dress fluttering as she held the Primordial Golden Dipper in her palm.

"Senior Brother Duobao?! Second Senior Sister! Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, Junior Sister Yunxiao!!!"

An indescribable ecstasy suddenly flashed through Xuan Liu's Dharma eyes.

His tightly drawn back slowly relaxed at that moment.

With a sweep of his sleeve, he understood that this danger had taken a turn for the better.

Nine-Infant had only come with an incarnation this time.

And this incarnation was, at most, only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal of the Great Luo.

His Senior Brother Duobao, however, was a genuine mid-stage Golden Immortal of the Great Luo.

Dealing with Nine-Infant's incarnation should pose absolutely no problem.

What was more, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Zhao Gongming, and Yunxiao Fairy were there to assist.

The combat power of those three was renowned throughout the entire Interception Sect.

"Suppress!"

No sooner said than done.

Facing the endless torrent unleashed by Nine-Infant's incarnation—

Not a trace of panic appeared on Duobao Daoist's well-fed face.

His Dharma eyes swept over the scene coldly, and he pointed forward with his right hand.

"Rumble!!!"

The Duobao Pagoda floating above his head expanded madly in that instant, transforming into an indestructible divine mountain.

Billions of golden rays and Supreme Purity immortal light interwove and evolved wildly atop the Duobao Pagoda.

Like an impregnable barrier, it stretched across the center of the battlefield.

"Bang!!!"

The earth-shattering sound of collision resounded throughout the four seas and eight wilds.

The world-destroying torrent unleashed by Nine-Infant's incarnation, said to be capable of destroying heaven and earth—

The instant it touched the Duobao Pagoda's defenses, it froze in place with eerie abruptness.

Then, it was forcibly shattered by the divine creation light erupting from within the Duobao Pagoda, dispersing into specks of crimson radiance.

The disparity in strength was immense. The outcome was decided in a single strike!

Duobao Daoist stood with one hand behind his back, his bright yellow Daoist robe snapping in the wind.

The terrifying pressure of a mid-stage Golden Immortal of the Great Luo locked onto Nine-Infant without reservation.

"What?! Duobao?! Golden Spirit Holy Mother?!"

His attack was ruthlessly blasted back by the Duobao Pagoda, and Nine-Infant's incarnation was violently hurled backward.

When its nine bizarre serpent heads recognized the identities of the newcomers—

Its entire ugly face stiffened violently in that instant.

Within its serpent eyes, filled with brutality, there flashed an unprecedented bewilderment and helplessness.

What in the world was going on?!

Nine-Infant was, after all, a Demon Saint of the Demon Court.

Today, one of his minor Golden Immortal of Taiyi demon generals had devoured several human tribes.

First, a peak Golden Immortal of Taiyi with noble origins and heaven-shaking methods had appeared out of nowhere.

It was one thing for him to kill his subordinate without another word, reducing him to ashes.

But now, Nine-Infant had merely sent out an incarnation to kill this peak Golden Immortal of Taiyi and uphold the Demon Court's prestige.

Yet just as he was about to make his move, four disciples of the Interception Sect had arrived.

Especially the first two—Duobao Daoist and Golden Spirit Holy Mother.

Those two were personal disciples of the Interception Sect, treasured by the Supreme Purity Saint.

And what had Duobao shouted just now?

How dare he harm the Fifth Junior Brother of the Interception Sect?!

The nine bloody maws of Nine-Infant's incarnation all sucked in a breath of cold air.

It stared fixedly at Xuan Liu in the distance, his green robes fluttering and his face cold and proud.

This Daoist who dared to exchange blows with a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo while only at the peak of the Golden Immortal of Taiyi realm—

Was actually—

Tongtian Cult Master's newest fifth personal disciple, Xuan Liu?!

"Fellow Daoist Duobao, fellow Daoists, this is all a misunderstanding!" Nine-Infant's incarnation said in alarm, forcing a smile. "I thought some unknown rogue cultivator had killed a Golden Immortal of Taiyi demon general of our Demon Court."

"I never expected it was a distinguished disciple of your sect acting to clean house for our Demon Court."

"If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave!"

The Interception Sect, as a Saint's lineage, was absolutely not something he could provoke.

For the sake of one insignificant Golden Immortal of Taiyi demon general—especially one already dead—

Offending a Saint's lineage would be far too unwise.

After all—

A Saint's lineage could be considered one of the most formidable forces in the Primordial World.

Beneath Saints, all were ants!

That was not merely an empty saying.

"Trying to leave? Since you came, stay behind!"

Duobao Daoist frowned and said indifferently, "This incarnation of a Golden Immortal of the Great Luo shall serve as the price for offending our Fifth Junior Brother."

"Two Junior Sisters, Junior Brother Zhao Gongming, let us attack together!"
