Baili Hongzhuang remained calm, her expression indifferent, as she slowly said, "I can't be certain, but even if it's not dead, that strike must have left it in a bad state."
After a while, as the dust settled under everyone's gaze, a burnt smell filled the air, and they could clearly see the situation within the smoke.
The Heavenly Spirit Bear had collapsed to the ground, its blood-red eyes gradually regaining clarity, clearly struggling to breathe.
Seeing the bear on its last breath, Xia Zhiqing and the others couldn't help but show a deep sense of joy on their faces.
They had succeeded!
Dongfang Yu and Gong Shaoqing also let out a sigh of relief. The tension that had been hanging over them finally dissipated, and a faint smile appeared on their pale faces.
After such a thrilling ordeal, they had finally resolved the situation safely.
"Hongzhuang, you're amazing!" Xia Zhiqing couldn't hide her excitement. The Heavenly Spirit Bear was a disaster whenever encountered, leaving no choice but to flee for one's life.
But now, Hongzhuang had directly killed the Heavenly Spirit Bear. What incredible strength!
Gong Shaoqing's heart also filled with admiration. Back during the academy exchange competition, it had been quite challenging for Baili Hongzhuang to execute a mini version of the Green Flame Palm. Yet now, when she used it again, she appeared so relaxed, far from the simplicity of the past.
Just this alone was enough to prove the growth of Baili Hongzhuang's strength during this period.
"Amazing!" Bai Junyu gave Baili Hongzhuang a thumbs up, truly impressed by her strength.
Baili Hongzhuang walked to Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu's side, her beautiful face showing a hint of concern. "How are your injuries?"
Gong Shaoqing waved his hand dismissively, "Just some internal injuries. They'll recover with a little rest."
Although their internal organs were aching, it wasn't a fundamental injury. They just needed some time to recuperate.
Dongfang Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Gong Shaoqing's words.
Even though they were injured today, compared to what they had gained, these injuries were nothing.
However, Dongfang Yu also felt a sense of urgency deep in his heart.
Baili Hongzhuang's strength had improved so rapidly, leaving them far behind. They had to work hard to catch up with her.
Otherwise, the gap between them would only grow larger, and in the future, they might not even qualify as her teammates.
That wasn't what he wanted.
After checking Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu's condition, Baili Hongzhuang detected some internal injuries caused by the tremendous force of the Heavenly Spirit Bear.
If Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu hadn't saved her by stalling for time, they would have been in real danger if they had fallen off the cliff.
"The internal injuries are quite severe. It seems you'll need a few days of rest," Baili Hongzhuang said slowly, then took out two pills from her storage bag and fed them to Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu.
Considering their current location, they still had a considerable distance to travel to reach the city where they would rest tonight, making it difficult for them to continue their journey for now.
The three animal companions had gathered around the Heavenly Spirit Bear. Little Black and Little White's eyes gleamed with desire, "I heard that the taste of the Heavenly Spirit Bear is excellent. Looks like we can have a taste today."
While the meat of many demonic beasts was not delicious, some were considered delicacies.
Clearly, the meat of the Heavenly Spirit Bear was exceptionally delicious!
The White Lion also stared at the Heavenly Spirit Bear, but it seemed more interested in the bear's demonic crystal!
