In the end, she chose to retreat.
"As long as the green hills remain, there's always firewood to burn.
Once I regain my strength, I'll have plenty of time to teach this unruly son a lesson!"
Bibi Dong uttered these words viciously, her figure transforming into a streak of black light and instantly disappearing into the horizon.
Although she couldn't defeat Qian Renshang, if she wanted to leave, no one could stop her.
Qian Renshang gazed in the direction Bibi Dong had departed, the two divine weapons in his hands still gleaming.
His face was weary, but his eyes held a resolute determination.
Di Tian approached Qian Renshang and said, "Even if she retreats this time, she'll likely come back to cause trouble later."
Qian Renshang took a deep breath and replied, "But at least this time, we won. We won't be afraid of her next time."
Xiong Jun waved his enormous bear paw and shouted, "Yes, next time we'll make sure she doesn't return!"
Wan Yao Wang nodded and said, "However, we can't let our guard down. We need to seize the time to improve our strength."
Bi Ji said softly, "Let's rest and recuperate first. Everyone has worked hard in this battle."
The group exchanged glances and then slowly left the devastated battlefield.
After Bibi Dong retreated, Di Tian and the other beast kings all breathed a sigh of relief. Di Tian wiped the sweat from his brow, saying with lingering fear,
"Bibi Dong after becoming a god is truly terrifying; that oppressive aura is suffocating."
Xiong Jun plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, "The difference between gods and humans is truly immense; it's not something that can be compared to numbers.
If it weren't for our united efforts, coupled with Qian Renshang's formidable strength, we would probably all be dead here today."
The Demon King's expression was solemn as he slowly said, "We were fortunate to have forced her back this time.
If she returns in the future, she will undoubtedly be even more ferocious."
Bi Ji looked at the exhausted group and said softly, "But at least this time, we proved the power of unity.
As long as we continue to improve, we may not be without the ability to contend with her again."
*Pfft*, as the beast kings pondered, the next moment Qian Renshang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The blood drew a scarlet arc in the air, a shocking sight.
Di Tian was shocked and quickly rushed over to support the swaying Qian Renshang, anxiously asking, "Qian Renshang, what's wrong with you?"
Qian Renshang's face was ashen, as if all life had been drained from him.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly,
"It's nothing, I just fought too fiercely, and I can't control my strength anymore..."
Xiong Jun's eyes widened, and he said urgently, "You call this nothing? Don't push yourself!"
Wan Yao Wang frowned, worriedly saying, "How can we be at ease with you like this?"
Qian Renshang forced a smile, reassuring everyone, "Don't worry, I know my own body. Give me some time to recover, I'll be fine."
Di Tian looked at Qian Renshang's determined eyes and sighed helplessly,
"Alright, please don't push yourself. If you feel any discomfort, be sure to tell me."
Qian Renshang nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and began to circulate his energy to regulate his breathing.
Qian Renshang stared intently in the direction Bibi Dong had left, his eyes lifeless.
His once bright and sharp eyes were now like a stagnant pool, devoid of any ripples.
His body was tense, like a frozen sculpture, completely still.
"I didn't expect Bibi Dong to act so quickly.
Has she already become a god?"
Qian Renshang murmured to himself, his voice low and hoarse, as if squeezed from the depths of his soul.
Every word carried a deep resentment and undisguised worry; the heaviness in his tone seemed capable of crushing everything around him.
