Han Li's mind raced, and the fist he had just thrown out split into five fingers, transforming into a grab that seized a Yellow Turban Warrior in front of him and hurled it into the surrounding group of Yellow Turban Warriors.

"Bang!"

A warrior standing still on the outer perimeter was struck squarely, and both shattered under the force of the impact. The resulting invisible shockwave swept up several Yellow Turban puppets behind them, knocking them to the ground.

Then, the sound of rushing wind intensified!

Han Li's figure moved unpredictably. With sweeps of his hands, each Yellow Turban Warrior that approached was effortlessly lifted and thrown, tracing arcs through the air before landing precisely in the outer ranks of the warrior horde.

As for the gray-black lightning and strange bird attacks that he couldn't avoid, he simply ignored them.

In the span of just two or three breaths, the outer ranks of the Yellow Turban Warrior army were littered with fallen figures, thrown into chaos.

"Don't wait any longer, make a swift decision!" Tong Ren'e's expression darkened, and he barked coldly.

After speaking, he flipped his hand and produced a rusty, Xuan-yellow token. His other hand formed a strange hand seal, and he chanted rapidly. The token's surface immediately glowed with an incomparably brilliant yellow light.

Han Li tilted his head, his gaze suddenly shrinking!

Although he didn't know what the token was, he felt a hint of unease the moment the old man produced it.

Before he could react, the Xuan-yellow token in Tong Ren'e's hand shot out, transforming into a dazzling yellow beam that landed high above Han Li's head, spinning rapidly. Circles of Xuan-yellow, strange spirit patterns began to illuminate.

A bizarre scene unfolded!

All of the thousands of Yellow Turban Warriors standing still on the outer perimeter simultaneously raised their hands above their heads in a crossed position. As if a fire had been ignited, dazzling yellow light erupted from their bodies, quickly converging at the intersection of their arms and shooting into the sky.

All of the blinding yellow light connected and spread in the air, forming a layer of yellow light screen that instantly covered a thousand-foot area centered around Han Li.

The moment the yellow light enveloped him, Han Li felt his body suddenly sink, as if he were being pressed down by a ten-thousand-foot mountain, slowing his movements.

At that moment, "puff, puff" sounds rose and fell!

On the ground covered by the yellow light, wisps of Xuan-yellow mist rose from below, intertwining and coiling into Xuan-yellow ropes that flew towards him like spirit snakes. With a swift wrapping, they bound his body tightly, immobilizing him.

Almost in an instant, Han Li's waist, arms, and legs were tied down, tightly bound to the ground, leaving him unable to move at all.

Han Li cursed inwardly and frantically circulated the Xiao Beidou Xing Yuan Gong technique. The six clusters of blue light in his chest and abdomen flashed wildly, and divine power erupted from his body. He twisted his body and jerked his arms.

The Xuan-yellow ropes wrapped around him tightened, the thinnest of them trembling. Although they still bound him, they couldn't completely restrict his movements.

At the same time, the yellow gourd that Duan Renli had been holding had flown above his head at some point, hovering there.

Duan Renli opened his mouth and spat several mouthfuls of blood onto it, while muttering a low incantation.

The yellow light on the gourd's surface intensified, swelling to the size of a house. The golden runes swirling around the mouth of the gourd grew to the size of palms, emitting a dazzling golden light.

"Whoosh!"

Countless yellow beans poured out of the gourd's mouth, cascading down like a breached Yellow River.

These newly created Yellow Turban Warriors took a few steps before standing still, similarly raising their hands crossed above their heads, releasing dazzling yellow light that flowed into the yellow light screen above.

Han Li clenched his fists. Despite the pull of the Xuan-yellow ropes, he still managed to throw out several punches, blasting the warriors and strange birds in front of him to pieces, but his movements became increasingly sluggish.

It seemed that each additional warrior made the light screen above more solid, while also increasing the Xuan-yellow mist rising from the ground.

As a result, more and more Xuan-yellow Qi rose from the ground, becoming increasingly dense, making the ropes wrapped around him more solid and firm.

He felt his body become incredibly heavy, as if he were carrying several mountains on his arms, making it increasingly difficult to move. The Xuan-yellow ropes tightened further, leaving deep marks on his clothes.

Suddenly, golden light flashed across his body, and he let out a low roar. Golden hairs sprouted from his skin, instantly transforming him into a golden-haired giant ape, his body growing wildly.

He had once again used the Jingzhe Decisive Technique, transforming into a Mountain Giant Ape!

Tong Ren'e and He Shan Daoren were both slightly stunned to see the giant ape before them, which had grown to over ten zhang in size.

Although they had long heard from Duan Renli about Han Li's strange secret technique, they were still shocked by the terrifying aura emanating from him when they saw it with their own eyes.

"He Shan Daoyou, what are you waiting for?" Tong Ren'e shouted, retracting the ancient book in front of him, then concentrating on activating the formation below.

He Shan Daoren immediately came to his senses. He no longer channeled the gray-black lightning, and instead chanted solemnly while forming hand seals. Countless golden, strange runes surged from his body, and a layer of golden light erupted from him.

At this time, there were already over ten thousand Yellow Turban Warriors surrounding Han Li's transformed giant ape.

Endless Xuan-yellow Qi surged from the ground, flowing into the Xuan-yellow ropes wrapped around the golden-haired giant ape, making them thicker and stronger, with no sign of breaking.

"Roar!" A deafening roar rang out!

The giant ape's body cracked and popped like bursting beans. His muscles swelled as if inflated, and his golden fur became as hard as steel needles, standing on end. His form grew again, doubling in size to over thirty zhang.

However, the Xuan-yellow ropes also flashed with yellow light, rapidly expanding along with him, becoming even thicker and tougher, still binding him firmly.

Just then, the giant ape suddenly flashed again, and its size shrank drastically, returning to a height of ten zhang.

Almost at the same time, the Xuan-yellow ropes changed like maggots on a bone, shrinking along with it.

No matter how the giant ape grew or shrank, the ropes could always be adjusted to bind him perfectly, as if custom-made for him at any moment, preventing him from breaking free.

"You still want to break free? That's just wishful thinking!" Duan Renli couldn't help but laugh wildly at the sight.

"He Shan Daoyou, why haven't you acted yet? What are you waiting for?" Tong Ren'e frowned and shouted, looking at He Shan Daoren not far away.

The latter didn't answer. He waved his golden-robed sleeves, and a golden light shot out, flying above the golden giant ape's head, revealing a simple, grey-blue scroll.

He Shan Daoren pointed at the scroll with two fingers held together and shouted:

"Hasten!"

The golden light on his body immediately shot out from his fingertips, transforming into a golden rainbow that entered the simple scroll. The scroll flashed with green light, shaking a few times before unfurling with a "whoosh."

A dazzling golden light shone from the surface of the scroll, and a five- or six-inch golden Nascent Soul phantom flew out.

It wore a lotus crown, a russet-yellow Daoist robe, and its face was old and serene. It bore a striking resemblance to the Jingyuan Temple's ancestor, Jingming Daoren.

At the same time, He Shan Daoren continued to chant. The golden light on the opened scroll flashed continuously, and golden ancient seal characters flew out one after another, rushing into the Nascent Soul phantom.

The golden figure's body was suddenly enveloped in golden light, stretching and deforming, transforming into a golden giant sword over ten zhang long.

The sword's body was engraved with strange golden runes, surrounded by circles of runes that emitted terrifying, heart-palpitating fluctuations.

Tong Ren'e and Duan Renli couldn't help but exchange glances the moment the golden giant sword appeared, both seeing a hint of horror in the other's eyes.

The giant ape transformed by Han Li suddenly raised his massive head, looking up.

His fists clenched, and the six huge blue light clusters in his chest and abdomen lit up simultaneously. The muscles on his arms bulged, and he desperately pulled them back towards his chest, trying to meet the giant sword above.

But the Xuan-yellow ropes wrapped around his arms glowed brightly, becoming as taut as steel spears, but they still seemed unable to hold him, and he pulled his arms back towards his chest inch by inch.

"Not good, quickly!" Duan Renli shouted.

Tong Ren'e's face was a little pale, and his ten fingers were spinning like wheels, constantly casting spells.

The rotation speed of the Xuan-yellow token in mid-air suddenly increased!

The yellow light emanating from the bodies of the over ten thousand Yellow Turban Warriors below also intensified, and more Xuan-yellow Qi emerged from the ground, causing the Xuan-yellow ropes binding the golden-haired giant ape to tighten again, increasing the pulling force.

The giant ape's body shuddered violently. The arms that he had just managed to pull back to his chest were immediately pulled back again.

"Hasten!"

He Shan Daoren finally completed the spell, shouting.

The golden giant sword suspended in the air suddenly trembled, transforming into a golden flash that slashed down on the golden-haired giant ape.

"Boom boom boom!"

The golden giant sword shattered layers of void, emitting thunderous roars. Wherever it passed, incredibly thin, gray-white cracks flashed and disappeared, emanating intense spatial fluctuations.

The area covered by the sword light distorted and became blurred, and even the clouds above were slightly misaligned and deformed. The two or three hundred ghost-headed strange birds hovering in the sky were unable to avoid it and were directly annihilated with a wail, turning into nothingness.

At this moment, the golden-haired giant ape was unable to break free from the Xuan-yellow ropes and had no way to avoid the attack.

In the nick of time, the giant ape roared, raising his head. His body was instantly bathed in golden light, and golden scales appeared all over him. A cyan horn sprouted from the top of his head in an instant.

In the instant the giant sword fell, the giant ape leaned back slightly, stiffened his neck, and slammed his head upwards.

"Boom!" A deafening roar!

The tip of the golden giant sword slammed heavily against the cyan horn on the giant ape's forehead. All of the sword light emitted by the sword body shattered instantly, transforming into a rain of golden light that scattered in all directions.

Almost the entire void shook wildly. Dozens of gray-white cracks appeared near the sword, flashing and disappearing. Centered on the giant ape, the Yellow Turban Warriors within a hundred zhang radius couldn't withstand it and collapsed.

In the midst of the dazzling light, the sword body of the golden sword trembled violently, bending into an incredible arc. It bounced back.

The golden giant ape only swayed slightly before returning to its original state, without any signs of damage.

"How is this possible!"

He Shan Daoren couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Tong Ren'e and Duan Renli were also shocked, their mouths slightly open, unable to speak.
