I believe that under the circumstances at that time, the Vermilion Bird was definitely injured.
It was merely the first heavenly tribulation lightning, that Vermilion Bird had to resist with full strength and yet it could not escape being injured. Looking at the lingering tribulation clouds in the sky, Zhou Tian guessed that the likelihood of the Vermilion Bird surviving the bombardment of the heavenly tribulation was quite low!
Seeing the situation at that time, Zhou Tian was relieved. As long as the Vermilion Bird was inevitably going to die, everything will be fine. After the heavenly tribulation had killed the Vermilion Bird, Zhou Tian would have lost that formidable opponent. Without that strong enemy, Zhou Tian no longer had to worry about facing revenge in the future.
However, just as Zhou Tian was preparing to leave after calming down, the Vermilion Bird showed some tactics that Zhou Tian had never seen before.
