After Transmigrating into a Book as the Villain, All the Heroines Changed Their Character Settings - Section 45

A faint current of spiritual energy even circled around the White Wind Ape, searching as though it were looking for something.

After a long while, Bu Fengshuang shouted coldly, "Come out!"

The next second, the White Wind Ape was forced to open its mouth and violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

Within the blood was a streak of golden light—the very thing that was one of the five keys.

Bu Fengshuang lightly beckoned with her jade-like hand, and the golden key flew into her grasp.

There was not the slightest trace of blood, nor any foul odor. Only light and spiritual energy intertwined around it.

Xu Chen was completely dumbfounded. Originally, he was supposed to battle the White Wind Ape, suffer serious injuries, and then lure out a fifth-rank Spirit Beast.

But now, it was gone.

Damn it! For a moment, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Fuck..."

Ye Xuan and the others, hiding nearby, also had twitching mouths and faces full of black lines.

They had waited for at least an hour. Just as they were about to make their move, Xu Chen had appeared.

They had been overjoyed, thinking they could reap the fisherman's profit.

Who would have thought? Profit, my ass!

Bu Fengshuang had directly used three layers of formations within formations and forced the White Wind Ape to cough up blood.

This woman was fucking absurd.

What made Ye Xuan want to spit blood even more was Bu Fengshuang's next move.

He watched as Bu Fengshuang held the golden key in both hands and offered it to Xu Chen. "Chen, here. I got this especially for you!"

The heroines beside them all gritted their teeth. Damn it.

Bu Fengshuang, that little bitch, had gotten to show off again.

If this happened a few more times, Xu Chen would probably fall for her.

Ye Xuan was so furious that he nearly exploded. Damn it, why was there always a woman helping Xu Chen? Why didn't anyone help him?

Damn it, damn it!

Xu Chen's teeth ached, and he simply refused. "I don't want yours."

Bu Fengshuang was not angry in the slightest. She merely nodded. "Alright, then."

Xu Chen let out a breath of relief. Fortunately, this girl was reasonable.

She was not forcing it on him. If she could not give it to him, then so be it. Ah, that was much better.

"Roar!"

Just then, an enraged roar rang out from the distance and instantly spread through the mountain forest.

After that, the forest shook as though heaven and earth were overturning. Trees collapsed, and the ground rapidly split apart.

Clearly, a great demon beast had appeared.

The Spirit Venerable within Ye Xuan immediately warned him, "A fifth-rank Spirit Beast. Leave quickly."

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth. "Master, Xu Chen and Bu Fengshuang are blocking the way ahead of us. Why leave?"

The Spirit Venerable frowned. "I don't know. Logically speaking, we could play the fisherman, but I cannot predict that little girl."

Ye Xuan froze. "Master, you think too highly of Bu Fengshuang. She is not that capable."

The difficulty of setting up a fifth-rank formation was vastly different from that of a fourth-rank formation.

Bu Fengshuang had never set one up before, which meant she did not know how. It was impossible for her to suddenly be able to set one up now that danger had arrived.

The Spirit Venerable said seriously, "Then stay farther away. That little girl is definitely not simple. Even I feel a faint sense of dread from her."

The Spirit Venerable was somewhat annoyed. By all rights, his strength was not weak. Facing a mere Bu Fengshuang, he should not have felt such dread.

Yet he inexplicably had this feeling. It was very strange.

Ye Xuan nodded and instructed everyone to retreat, lest they be caught up in it.

Only then did the Spirit Venerable relax slightly. That should be fine.

"Who harmed my child?"

The fifth-rank White Wind Ape spoke in human language.

After speaking, his gaze directly locked onto Xu Chen and Bu Fengshuang. "Was it you two?"

With that, he planted his staff into the ground. The earth instantly shattered, dust danced through the air, and the atmosphere exploded.

White light began to radiate from his body as well. The aura of an early fifth-rank beast spread outward like raging waves.

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes. In his previous life, he would already have been seriously injured by this point.

What came next in the Original Text was the part where Ye Xuan fought the fifth-rank White Wind Ape.

Thus, Xu Chen said, "It was us, but they were the ones who ordered us to do it."

He pointed at Ye Xuan, causing the White Wind Ape to instantly lock onto him.

Ye Xuan's scalp went numb, and he could not help cursing loudly, "Xu Chen, you bastard! Senior, it wasn't us!"

Xu Chen yawned. "Senior White Wind Ape, you heard him too. We know each other, and now he wants to go back on his word. What a villain!"

Ye Xuan gritted his teeth. "Bastard, you're still framing me! Senior won't be that stupid."

The fifth-rank White Wind Ape said flatly, "Indeed. But anyone who enters my territory must die."

The next second, the White Wind Ape locked onto Xu Chen and Bu Fengshuang first.

No one knew what movement technique it used, but it instantly arrived before Xu Chen and brought its staff down.

It was so fast that it did not even give Bu Fengshuang time to set up a formation.

This is bad. How could it be so fast?

Even setting up a formation required several breaths from her, otherwise she could not send out the formation patterns.

Much less a fifth-rank formation—it might take around ten breaths.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and resolutely stepped in front of Xu Chen, intending to take the blow for him.

All the heroines were stunned. Bu Fengshuang was actually disregarding herself just to preserve Xu Chen's life?

Xu Chen froze, and his heart stirred slightly as well.

But he still shouted coldly, "Move aside. What business does a woman have meddling in a man's affairs?"

He directly pulled Bu Fengshuang away and, before everyone's eyes, used his physical body to withstand the blow head-on.

At that moment, everyone believed that Xu Chen would either die or be seriously injured.

Ye Xuan was overjoyed at the sight. Excellent, he had an opportunity now.

In just a few seconds, he would go out and defeat Xu Chen. Hahaha, marvelous.

Everyone knew that Xu Chen possessed a fifth-rank physique.

But everyone could also see that Xu Chen was currently facing a fifth-rank demon beast, the White Wind Ape.

The White Wind Ape also held a fifth-rank Wind-settling Cudgel in its claws, stronger than the fourth-rank Soaring Wind Staff.

Moreover, the physical bodies of fifth-rank demon beasts were naturally stronger than those of humans.

With all three combined, even though Xu Chen possessed a fifth-rank physique, he would definitely be injured.

If he was careless, death was also possible.

Otherwise, the ever-calm Bu Fengshuang would not have tried to block that strike for Xu Chen.

The three heroines beside Chilian had likewise not expected the fifth-rank White Wind Ape to be this fast.

Its speed was absolutely that of an earth-rank or higher movement technique, so fast that it made one's heart tremble.

Perhaps there was an expert guiding the White Wind Ape from behind the scenes.

Shangguan Luoyun and Luoshen's expressions sank slightly. Who was the person behind this White Wind Ape?

They would find that person and give them a proper beating.

"Bang!"

Before the eyes of the crowd, Xu Chen's shoulder met the strike head-on.

The violent spiritual-energy shockwave surged and scattered like crashing waves.

Countless berserk auras also poured endlessly outward from Xu Chen's shoulder.

In an instant, the ground cracked apart, fissures spreading continuously like a spiderweb.
