Bai Ying didn't lower her voice when she said this, since none of the people present believed her anyway.
Sure enough, those people mocked Bai Ying again after hearing what she said, "Pretending to know everything, like she knows everything. She's just a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage."
"Shut your stinking mouth! You act like a savior, but you're just a coward. We'd rather die here than be saved by you."
Bai Ying had originally planned to personally fight the spirit ape and finish the battle quickly, but now that they had said such things, she naturally wouldn't make a move so easily.
Even if all of these people die, it has nothing to do with her.
Xiao Yu frowned and walked to Bai Ying's side, saying to her, "I remember you weren't like this before... You don't need to compare yourself to Ruan Xinrou in everything."
Bai Ying stared straight at the person in front of her, her eyes seemingly filled with ice.
"I also remember telling you to stay away from me and never appear in front of me again in this lifetime, or I will not be polite to you."
Xiao Yu shook her head helplessly. Bai Ying had been incredibly arrogant when she said those words, but Xiao Yu was now at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, far beyond Bai Ying's current capabilities. How could Bai Ying possibly be so rude to her now?
"I still advise you to only talk as much as you are capable of, otherwise you will only make a fool of yourself."
He didn't look at Bai Ying anymore, but walked up to the spirit ape: "Do you mean what you just said? We only need to defeat a single hair of yours?"
"Of course!"
The ape looked at Xiao Yu with unusual excitement, "Do you want to have a match with me?"
"I am not very talented, but I would like to compete with you on behalf of everyone else."
Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, everyone expressed their agreement. "If Senior Brother Xiao wants to represent us, of course he can. You're not some fool who's only at the early Foundation Establishment stage."
"That's right, Senior Brother Xiao is at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. He'll definitely win!"
Yang Yu added, "Senior Brother Xiao, kill this spirit ape and let that bitch have a good look!"
Xiao Yu walked over and said to the spirit ape, "Please."
The ape's eyes instantly lit up with excitement. "Good!" It immediately ordered its tiny monkey, which had transformed from a hair, to attack Xiao Yu.
A powerful and boundless spiritual force, like a surging tide, burst forth violently from Xiao Yu's body. Immediately afterwards, that powerful force attacked the little monkey swiftly like an arrow released from a bow.
However, the little monkey was as fast as lightning, and Xiao Yu's attack couldn't even touch a single hair on its body. In that split second, the little monkey flashed in front of Xiao Yu with astonishing speed and struck out with a powerful palm. This palm, carrying the terrifying power of a towering mountain, slammed heavily into Xiao Yu's shoulder.
In that instant, Xiao Yu felt as if an incredibly heavy mountain had crashed down upon him. His face turned deathly pale, and under the irresistible force, he was slammed to the ground like a thrown rock, making a dull thud that seemed to shake the earth and send dust flying. Those below were astonished that Xiao Yu couldn't even withstand a single hair from the spirit ape.
No matter how powerful this ape is, it's still just a single hair!
"How...how is this possible?"
When Xiao Yu first arrived, he exchanged a few blows with the people here, and he was clearly superior to them in both skill and cultivation. But even so, he couldn't defeat a single hair on the spirit ape's head?
Someone said in horror:
"Could it be that those hairs really are the spirit ape's true form, and Bai Ying was right?"
Yang Yu gritted his teeth and glanced at Bai Ying, unwilling to believe that what she said was true.
"How could that be? Senior Brother Xiao was definitely just testing him; he didn't even use his full strength."
As expected, Xiao Yu gritted his teeth and unleashed his magical artifact at the little monkey. In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and surging, all-consuming flames, like roaring beasts, instantly enveloped the little monkey. The fire burned fiercely, incredibly hot, seemingly capable of incinerating the entire world—truly terrifying. Flames soared into the sky, heat waves rolled and churned, and the surrounding air seemed to be severely distorted and deformed by the scorching heat.
Everyone present was amazed. "Wow! Senior Brother Xiao, are you trying to burn that monkey alive?"
"Isn't that monkey made of fur? It would probably turn to ashes instantly if it encountered fire, and Senior Brother Xiao would win."
"I see. It seems that Senior Brother Xiao is not far from victory."
Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, except for Bai Ying, who gently shook her head and said with a solemn expression, "He shouldn't have done that. That spirit ape had just breathed fire, proving that it was a fire ape. This kind of fire would not only not kill the spirit ape, but would also enhance its spiritual power. What he is doing now is undoubtedly transferring spiritual power to the spirit ape. If this continues, the spirit ape will drain all the spiritual power from his body."
Bai Ying's words enraged one of the cultivators beside her:
"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see that the monkey can't move anymore? Senior Brother Xiao is about to burn it to ashes."
"Are you sure it's the spirit ape that can't move, and not your Senior Brother Xiao?"
"Isn't that obvious!" The man looked at Bai Ying like she was an idiot.
But the words had barely left his mouth when everyone was horrified to see Xiao Yu suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. The crimson blood splattered in the air, a shocking sight. His face instantly turned extremely pale, as if all his life force had been drained away, leaving him ashen white and bloodless. He screamed in agony, "I surrender! Let me go!" His entire body was contorted violently, as if enduring unimaginable pain.
At this moment, the spirit ape roared excitedly, its voice filled with pride and arrogance. It had no intention of letting Xiao Yu go; for it, its favorite thing to do was to watch these cultivators go from being full of hope to falling into despair.
"Does it make you happy to use your own moves on yourself?" the ape said, seemingly mockingly.
As it spoke, it directly redirected the raging flames that Xiao Yu had unleashed onto Xiao Yu himself. The flames instantly enveloped Xiao Yu, the intense heat seeming to melt him. Xiao Yu struggled painfully in the fire, letting out a piercing scream, a chilling sound that seemed like a desperate cry from the depths of hell.
However, the spirit ape had no intention of killing Xiao Yu; it enjoyed watching him despair.
"Come on! You're not dead yet! Let's keep fighting!"
As it spoke, the spirit ape extinguished the flames on Xiao Yu's body and then lifted him up.
But Xiao Yu was no longer capable of fighting; his eyes were filled with despair!
