As a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, True Person Huolong had still been able to escape in time with his Nascent Soul after his physical body was smashed to pieces by the Poison Fire Alligator Shark.
But exotic beasts like the Poison Fire Alligator Shark did not possess such an ability.
Although its physical body was many times stronger than that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and its recovery ability was likewise many times greater, it absolutely lacked the ability to survive after having its head severed.
What was more, after Zhou Yang severed its head with one slash, Zhao Yuanpu promptly drew away and imprisoned the fallen head. Even if it truly had the ability to reattach its severed head, it would first need to put its head back onto its body.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, your injuries..."
Once he was certain the Poison Fire Alligator Shark was dead beyond all doubt, Zhao Yuanpu hurriedly turned his gaze toward Zhou Yang, his eyes filled with concern.
He had witnessed Zhou Yang's weakness after using the Azure Dragon Sky-Splitting Slash before. Zhou Yang's sudden strike to kill the Poison Fire Alligator Shark had certainly been cause for joy, but if it cost their side another fighting force, Zhao Yuanpu truly did not know whether they had gained or lost.
After all, they had merely slain the unexpected enemy that was the Poison Fire Alligator Shark. Not one of the five Formation Platforms holding the array-suppressing treasures had yet been breached.
Yet faced with Zhao Yuanpu's concerned inquiry, Zhou Yang merely waved his hand and replied in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Zhao, rest assured. Zhou's injuries are nothing serious. My strength will merely decline somewhat for the time being!"
Whether they truly were nothing serious, only he himself knew best.
