Free Web NovelChapter 1081: Chapter 431 Undying Golden Body?_3
Of course, using the Time Ability in this regard placed a considerable amount of pressure on Zhou Tian, who, when employing his Time Ability to ensure his own safety, had already devoted all of his energy to it. Given the situation at that time, Zhou Tian had no energy left to do anything other than defend.
Zhou Tian had a reason for adopting such a stance, even if it meant forgoing his offensive capabilities—it was precisely because of the plan in his heart that he reacted that way.
Given Zhou Tian’s strength, defeating that Demigod wouldn’t have been too difficult under normal circumstances. However, defeating his opponent the usual way would have been quite tricky, even outside of the opponent’s personal world. Inside the opponent’s personal world, it was uncertain how long it would take Zhou Tian to achieve victory.
Clearly, what Zhou Tian lacked most right now was time, and under these conditions, it was impossible for him to waste too much time on that Demigod.
Yet the problem was that if Zhou Tian didn’t defeat the Demigod, he wouldn’t be able to continue advancing. As such, with little time available for combat and yet needing to defeat the Demigod amidst these unfavorable conditions, Zhou Tian had no choice but to think of some cunning strategies to win.
By shaking the Demigod’s morale with his newly mastered Time Ability, and attacking while the Demigod was distracted and agitated, there was a good chance of success. With this thought, Zhou Tian then executed that series of actions at the time.
At least from the current progress of the situation, Zhou Tian’s actions at the time proved to be somewhat effective. Before his Pseudo-indestructible Golden Body, the Demigod had even developed a heart demon because of Zhou Tian’s ruse. It seemed like nothing at the moment, but in fact, the advantage that the Demigod originally had in his personal world was completely lost, and the Demigod was no longer able to utilize his full strength. freewёbnoνel.com
Thus, Zhou Tian had already achieved the objective of his plan, and given the circumstances, there was a good chance of overpowering the Demigod.
In reality, Zhou Tian didn’t miss such a good opportunity; seeing the Demigod slightly distracted by his words, Zhou Tian immediately launched an attack.
Approaching his opponent and as the Demigod’s attack ended, Zhou Tian swiftly withdrew the Time Ability he had been using on his body, switching from stasis to acceleration. In an instant, his speed surged, and he maximized his Emperor-level boss ability. After all the replicated Beastmen took up their positions in his personal world and countered some of the Demigod’s abilities using the personal world’s power, Zhou Tian brandished his Demon-Slaying Short Sword and stabbed at the Demigod.
Since the Demigod hadn’t recovered from the prior blow, he failed to immediate respond to Zhou Tian’s attack. It wasn’t until Zhou Tian’s attack was nearly upon him that the Demigod finally reacted.
Having lost the initiative and facing Zhou Tian’s attack, the Demigod managed a response just in time, but his avoidance was anything but graceful. After all, the Demigod’s strength was originally inferior to Zhou Tian’s, and with his mind not fully present, he stood even less of a chance. Thus, given his situation at the time, the Demigod’s response to Zhou Tian’s attack was clearly forced.
To put it bluntly, the Demigod was just managing to hang on; unless something unexpected happened, he was at most able to defend himself. The idea of defeating Zhou Tian had already become a joke.
Zhou Tian, unlike the Demigod who had become careless and allowed Zhou Tian to induce a heart demon as planned, was the mastermind behind it all. Although Zhou Tian didn’t understand the Demigod’s situation very well, he wouldn’t make the same mistake. Knowing what had affected his opponent, when Zhou Tian struck again, he didn’t hold back at all. Under his attack, it was not so simple for the Demigod to block.
Dodge after dodge, a prolonged defense is bound to fail! Even though the Demigod was not weak, his current state made it difficult to bring out his full potential. As a consequence, as Zhou Tian’s continuous attacks bore down, the Demigod inevitably couldn’t dodge them all. The result was that after Zhou Tian thrust a few times with his sword, the Demigod failed to evade adequately, and the Demon-Slaying Short Sword was thrust into his body.
"Boom!" As Zhou Tian’s sword pierced into the Demigod’s body, the impact of that strike quickly manifested itself.
The ability of the Demon-Slaying Short Sword had little effect on half-god entities. This didn’t mean there was a problem with the sword’s power; it was just that Demigods’ control abilities were so strong that they affected the sword’s effectiveness.
Regardless, there was no doubt that the power of the Demon-Slaying Short Sword hadn’t changed at all. Thus, even though it had seemed to be of little use, once Zhou Tian stabbed the sword into the Demigod’s body, the sword’s power acted directly within, rendering the Demigod’s impressive control ability unable to affect it any longer.
Without any surprise, once Zhou Tian’s sword entered the Demigod’s body, the Demigod’s personal world began to collapse immediately. Consequently, the barely resistible power of Zhou Tian’s personal world, due to that sword strike, was completely shattered.
And as things stood at that time, the impact of Zhou Tian’s sword strike on the Demigod’s crumbling personal world was enormous. Almost because of that single sword strike, Zhou Tian had now directly secured his victory ticket. (To be continued.
