Xiao Jie felt a violent shock in his heart, his mind racing! The purpose of the Demon Refiner deceiving so many Great Demons here was now crystal clear—no more than refining the Demon Core to extract its essence of Spiritual Energy! Although the name "Nine-Turn Immortal Pill" seemed mysterious, the end result was nothing but being consumed!
The best strategy now is to flee!
Clearly, he wasn’t the only one with this idea.
"Roar—! Brothers, we’ve been tricked! Shoulder to shoulder, let’s fight our way out!" A mighty Tiger Demon, transformed from a striped fierce tiger, roared harshly, shaking the surroundings.
A demon with a wolf’s head and human body urgently approached Xiao Jie, whispering, "Captain Suifeng! Set aside old grievances for now; only by working together today do we have a sliver of hope!"
Yet Niu Dali snorted out two thick streams of white air from his nostrils, rumbling like thunder, "Run for what! Let’s first slaughter this old liar for refreshments! How dare you play with your Grandpa Niu—moo-ah—!" Before his roar even finished, his body suddenly swelled! Thick black fur covered his entire body, muscles knotted like rocks, instantly transforming into a raging giant bull over three meters tall and nearly five meters long!

"Brothers, charge with me!" He pawed the ground with his hooves, kicking up dust like an out-of-control war chariot, charging towards Qi Xiazi on the lotus platform!
Facing this Thunderbolt collision, Qi Xiazi’s face showed no fear, even a hint of mockery. A Yellow Turban Warrior had long been blocking the path of the giant bull’s charge - exactly in the form of "I Want to Be Immortal" etched in Xiao Jie’s memory!
"Dharma Golden Body!" The warrior let out a low shout, and his entire body erupted in golden light, radiating divine power like a Heavenly God descended to earth! His figure seemed to expand a whole size!
The giant bull solidly crashed into the warrior, protected by the golden light! The warrior was forced back several steps, the rock beneath his feet cracking! But he forcibly withstood the terrifying impact! What was more daunting was that his arms, muscles bulging like dragons, his pair of golden hands tightly grabbing Niu Dali’s broad as beams bull horns!
"Kneel for me—!" With a Furious Roar, the warrior unleashed mountain-crushing Strength with his arms, pressing fiercely downwards!
"Moo—!" Niu Dali, shocked and enraged, had his massive body forcibly pressed to kneel on his front hooves! He struggled wildly, attempting to buck off the suppression. The warrior was relentless, swinging his massive golden fists left and right, Bang! Bang! Two heavy hooks hammered the sides of the bull’s head, making the giant bull see stars, dizzy!
Then, a power-packed uppercut from the warrior, from below to above, slammed into Niu Dali’s jaw!
"Aow—!" With a wretched howl, Niu Dali’s colossal demon body instantly shrunk, reverting to human form and flying backward!
"Demon Capturing Hand!" The warrior extended his hand, a giant golden hand grabbed through the air, precisely catching the flying Niu Dali! He caught him around the waist, leaping into the air! Midair, his arms exerted force, hurling Niu Dali headfirst downwards, as if throwing a discus, plummeting him towards the hard ground!
Debris flew everywhere! Niu Dali’s entire head, along with his upper body, was almost smashed into the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, body convulsing, entirely losing combat ability.
"Hiss—!" All the Demons gasped in shock! Niu Dali was definitely top-tier battle strength among them, yet he was crippled in one encounter! The opponent’s preparedness and formidable power were far beyond imagination!
"Enough, you fur-wearing, horn-bearing, wet-born, egg-hatching mavericks!" Qi Xiazi’s cold voice carried a condescending contempt, "Will you surrender to avoid some skin and flesh pain, or do you want me to put in some effort?"
"Run quickly!" Someone suddenly screamed, and the scene erupted! The Demons each displayed their Divine Skills: some went berserk, relying on Sorcery brute Strength to directly pounce on Qi Xiazi, intending to capture the leader; but most scattered and fled! Especially those capable of flight, instantly reverting to true form—a Gray Eagle with iron feathers ready to soar, a Bloodthirsty Bat Demon manifesting as black mist, and a Ghost Mask Owl stirring a foul wind with its wings! They ascended to the sky, attempting to escape from above.
However, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Several muffled sounds! The flying demon birds seemed to crash into an invisible iron wall, being violently rebounded! No matter how they charged or Bit, the invisible barrier enveloping the entire mountain top remained unmoved!
Xiao Jie also opted to break through. He moved like a ghost, seizing the moment when several brave Great Demons drew fire from the front, darting like lightning toward the gap between two Yellow Turban Warriors!
Bang! Similarly, he crashed into an invisible barrier! He lifted his eyes in urgency, seeing four corners of the encirclement, each with a Yellow Turban Warrior holding a mysterious bronze array flag, standing like a rock, the flag moving without wind, emitting energy waves maintaining the barrier. The entire Big Array was rooted in these four array flags! Seamlessly covering the entire mountaintop, leaving no gap.
Xiao Jie exclaimed bitterly in his heart.
"Ah—!" Screams sounded in succession! The Yellow Turban Warriors’ encirclement had already closed in, like a cold meat grinder starting to crush inward! They moved in unison, their heavy golden hammer and giant axe casting fatal arcs of light, hacking or smashing, forming a copper-cast, iron-cast, watertight wall of death! In the rear, over a dozen Daoist Children cooperated in harmony, their fingertips invoking talismans, launching blinding flashes of lightning, hot fireballs, and whistling ice darts! No matter how strange the Sorcery, or how tough the flesh, under the dense bombardment of Spells, it was difficult to withstand, leading to death or injury!
The demons were fierce, but fought alone, disorganized. Facing this all-in-one combat formation with seamless cooperation, it was like being pressed to the ground and rubbed!
Bi Lin Jun spat out a vast expanse of ghastly green poison mist, the Yellow Turban Warriors’ golden light flowing around them, immune to the poison! The Daoist Children behind them immediately used the "Call the Wind Skill," a Gale blowing the poison mist back, inflicting corrosion on a few demons, making them fall to the ground howling.
