"Yes! I choose you next! There is no fear in your eyes here."

The spirit ape looked at Bai Ying with unusual excitement, clearly very interested in her.

He liked people who pretended to be calm; it was the fear in their eyes when he was about to kill them that gave him the most pleasure.

A bloodthirsty smile crept across the ape's face. "I'm going to torture you properly!"

But Bai Ying wasn't scared at all; instead, she curled up the corners of her mouth.

"Choosing me might kill you."

"Hahahaha!" The ape seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "You little girl, you're not that old, but you've got quite the nerve! I'd like to see how you're going to kill me!"

"Okay, I'll show you right now!"

Bai Ying walked step by step toward the spirit ape. But she was pulled back after only two steps.

"Are you crazy? Apologize now!" Gu Qingzhou hurriedly went over and grabbed Bai Ying, her face showing an extremely urgent expression.

He was afraid that the spirit ape would become enraged by Bai Ying's words, and even more afraid that it would implicate him.

Although they may all die here, that doesn't mean they have no chance of survival.

What if the ape only wanted to play with them and didn't actually intend to kill them?

Bai Ying's words will obviously anger this spirit ape!

Bai Ying might even cut off their last chance of survival!

The others present also showed expressions of anger. Instead of confronting the spirit ape, they began to blame Bai Ying.

"Apologize now! Who do you think you are? Daring to provoke a Nascent Soul stage demon beast."

"It doesn't matter if you die, but don't drag us down with you."

"Lord Spirit Ape, if you want to kill someone, then kill this person. This has nothing to do with us!"

However, in the next instant, those who had just been scolding Bai Ying were suddenly grabbed by the spirit ape's long arm. Then, without mercy, the spirit ape raised its arm high and slammed them to the ground with the force of a mountain crashing down. "So annoying!"

"Pfft!" With a muffled thud, all of these people spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Qingzhou suffered the most, as he was the first to stand up and stop Bai Ying, thus incurring the wrath of the spirit ape. When the spirit ape slammed into him, it used twice the force it used when slamming into the others.

Gu Qingzhou felt an immense force strike him, as if he had been struck by a heavy mountain. His face turned deathly pale with pain, his features contorted in agony. The excruciating pain made him feel as if every bone in his body had shattered, every inch of his skin, every cell groaning in agony. He lay on the ground, his body twitching slightly, blood gushing from his mouth; he was on the verge of death.

The ape looked smugly at everyone present, "If anyone utters another word, I'll kill him right now!"

Everyone present shut their mouths, seemingly afraid to make a sound.

But they all avoided Bai Ying like the plague, fearing they would be implicated by her.

They were trembling with fear, too afraid to speak or even look at the spirit ape. Only Yuan Shijie whispered to Bai Ying, "Be careful."

Bai Ying nodded to him: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Yuan Shijie nodded to Bai Ying. Although he was worried, he had witnessed Bai Ying's strength and felt that she might not necessarily lose.

Even such a small gesture on the spot filled everyone with mockery.

I've seen people pretend, but I've never seen anyone pretend like this.

"Be careful!" "It's alright!" But once the ape slaps her, she'll know whether she's alright or not!

Some malicious cultivators even wished the spirit ape would teach Bai Ying a lesson, showing her just how weak she really was. So many Foundation Establishment Grand Perfection cultivators here were being used as punching bags by the spirit ape; did she think she could compare to them?

Bai Ying drew the sword she was carrying and pointed it at the spirit ape.

The ape looked at her with a wicked grin, its eyes revealing a chilling mockery.

The spirit ape opened its mouth, revealing sharp fangs, and suddenly spewed a mouthful of raging fire at Bai Ying. This was just like when it had dealt with the cultivators before. In an instant, the flames, like a ferocious beast, rapidly enveloped Bai Ying.

The flames were even more intense than when they had dealt with the cultivators. They shot skyward, seemingly threatening to set the entire sky ablaze. The intense heat distorted the surrounding air, and Bai Ying, engulfed in this sea of ​​fire, felt as if she might be swallowed up by the ferocious flames at any moment, leaving not even ashes.

Looking at the scene before him, the spirit ape burst into laughter. It longed to hear Bai Ying beg for mercy, and to see her weeping like those people from before.

Even those present thought Bai Ying would immediately scream and roll around on the ground.

But Bai Ying didn't react at all. She continued to walk forward step by step, as if the huge fire had no effect on her.

"How is this possible!" everyone exclaimed in shock!

Now, not only the cultivators present, but even the spirit ape showed an expression of disbelief.

Others may not know, but the spirit ape knew perfectly well that its spiritual fire was extremely powerful, burning not only the body but also the soul. Anyone touched by its flames was filled with agony.

What exactly happened? Could it be that this girl is too good at enduring pain? Is she forcing herself not to utter a sound?

The ape immediately withdrew its fire, wanting to check on Bai Ying's condition.

To its surprise, Bai Ying's body was completely unharmed, with not a single burn mark and not even a scratch on her clothes.

It was as if she had a perfect barrier around her, keeping that flame out.

The ape stared at her coldly: "How did you do that?"

Bai Ying took out a bead, "This is the Fire-Repelling Bead that my master specially gave me when I left the sect."

I see!

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought, "How could someone only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment be unafraid of that fire?" It turned out they possessed a special magical artifact.

But that ape has more than one way to attack. If it doesn't use fire, she'll still be dead!

The ape clearly thought the same thing. With a swing of its long arm, it grabbed Bai Ying's shoulder and tried to slam her to the ground.

But it was still no use. After its hand touched Bai Ying, it felt as if it had grabbed a mountain. No matter how hard it tried, it could not lift Bai Ying up.

The ape exerted its strength relentlessly, its face growing redder and redder until it turned a deep liver color, but it still couldn't budge Bai Ying in the slightest.

His forehead was covered in sweat, but Bai Ying looked at him calmly.

"You've already made your move. Now, it's my turn!"
