The Expounding Teaching was full of elites, with disciples aplenty-five against one!
Hearing Mahabrahma's words, Nine Li, who was fighting Bali of Free Heaven in the distance, immediately looked furious. What nonsense are you spouting? Your Asura Religion was the shameless one! Your Four Devil Kings led all your elite disciples in a fierce assault on our weakest division of the Heavenly Army, yet now you're accusing us of ganging up on you?
Have you no shame?!
"Heaven-Splitting Divine Palm, eighth form!" Nine Li immediately marshaled all his magic power and struck at Bali of Free Heaven, who had been pursuing him relentlessly.
"Boom!" Purple light blazed, and the Sea of Blood shook violently. Bali of Free Heaven hurriedly crossed his hands in front of him. Then, with a cry, his arms flew apart, his head tipped back toward the sky, and he hurtled backward.
"Taste my treasure!" After knocking Bali of Free Heaven away, Nine Li immediately unleashed the Dragon-Tiger Seal Yuanshi had bestowed upon him, sending it smashing toward his opponent.

"Whoosh!" Bali of Free Heaven was a mighty Quasi-Saint Great Power, after all. Though a moment's carelessness had allowed Nine Li's palm strike to land, he was not so easily defeated. Still flying backward, he watched the Dragon-Tiger Seal hurtling toward him, his pupils contracting. He immediately vanished in a flash, leaving the seal to strike empty air.
"Hm?" Seeing Bali of Free Heaven disappear, Nine Li frowned. On full alert, he looked left, then right. Where... did that fellow go?
"Oh no!" Suddenly sensing something, Nine Li was alarmed and immediately turned around, throwing out a palm strike.
"Great Blood Handprint!"
"Bang!"
Nine Li's palm met that of Bali of Free Heaven, who had flashed behind him to attack his back. A terrifying crash rang
