The braking happened too suddenly as the van swerved and spun on the road before barely coming to a halt without flipping over!
At the same time, the van's passengers clearly saw a white object fly off of the van's roof. With a bang, it slammed into a tree trunk, producing a dull thud as though it had cracked.
Then everyone first confirmed that they were still alive. They ignored how the van had spun and instead held their breath and craned their necks to see if the monk was dead or not.
In fact, everyone still had some hope in their heart. They wished that even if the monk wasn't dead before, he would have died from such a heavy blow now. After all, even a being with supernatural powers couldn't survive such an impact, right?
