Mighty Lord

Chapter 1085: Chapter 433: Preparing to Retreat

If you really think about it, Zhou Tian was merely concerned about the combat power of those Demigods when they joined forces. Without considering their collaborative strength, he actually never took them seriously based solely on their individual powers.

When he entered this space, Zhou Tian had already anticipated that such a day would come, so the arrival of those NPC Demigods did not surprise him. Upon discovering their presence, Zhou Tian simply glanced at them and then became cautious from that moment onwards.

"Hand over the corpses and your life will be spared!" The Demigods were unaware of Zhou Tian’s confidence despite knowing he was an Emperor-level BOSS and even aware that he had killed one of their companions before entering this space. But what did that matter? With the strength of their team, the NPC Demigods did not believe Zhou Tian was capable of resisting them.

Confident in their own strength, those NPC Demigods had nothing good to say when facing Zhou Tian.

With Zhou Tian’s strength, he certainly wouldn’t be intimidated by their words. So after hearing what the Demigod had said, Zhou Tian immediately scoffed, "If you’re capable, then try to take those corpses from me!"

"You’re seeking death!" It was obvious that Zhou Tian’s words were a provocation, and the Demigods could clearly hear it. Realizing Zhou Tian’s disdain for them, the Demigods became quite angry. After cursing Zhou Tian a few times, they stopped wasting words and prepared to really get serious.

No matter how powerful Zhou Tian was, as long as he hadn’t upgraded to a higher existence, that group of Demigods did not believe an Emperor-level BOSS like him could be a match for their troops. Thus, still confident in their own side, those Demigods simply thought dealing with Zhou Tian would be an easy task. Also, due to their confidence, those Demigods didn’t prepare much when it came to facing Zhou Tian.

Eager to act without considering Zhou Tian as a threat, those Demigods never expected Zhou Tian would be capable of resisting their attack. Therefore, after seeing Zhou Tian’s performance, the Demigods intent on eliminating him soon became convinced that under their attacks, Zhou Tian wouldn’t last long—perhaps a single strike would be enough to finish him off.

As a result of their anger, the Demigods attacked Zhou Tian, and soon a joint attack of more than a dozen strikes imbued with various rule powers descended upon him.

At Zhou Tian’s level of power, generic attacks hardly inflicted any damage. To easily harm them, especially someone of Zhou Tian’s tier, required more than simple tactics. Indeed, only rule-based attacks could potentially instant kill entities like him.

An attack carrying rule power was fundamentally no different from other attacks. However, if the attack carried a hint of rule power, it could either generate additional effects beyond the surface damage, or it unequivocally amplified the attack’s power by hundreds or thousands of times. fгeewebnovёl.com

Nevertheless, infusing an attack with a hint of rule power generally required in-depth knowledge of certain rules. Beings capable of such were usually Demigod-level fighters. Even among monstrous Emperor-level BOSSes, without deep research into Domain Power within their power system, they couldn’t perform such attacks.

Thus, judging from the behavior of those Demigods at that time, it was clear they were considering giving Zhou Tian no quarter. Facing their attacks, Zhou Tian felt the pressure despite his massive strength.

However, even though Zhou Tian was in a tough spot, he already had a plan in mind on how to handle the monsters’ attacks.

To fight head-on was clearly a losing strategy for Zhou Tian. Therefore, from the beginning, he never planned to directly confront the Demigods; he had other ideas and plans to defeat them without clashing head-on.

After all, with the disparity in collective strength starkly evident, Zhou Tian excelled in individual power; however, the overall strength gap between him and his adversaries was not just marginally large.

Therefore, when facing the Demigods’ attacks, Zhou Tian couldn’t withstand them head-on. In truth, his only tactic against the Demigod’s attacks was to "dodge." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Zhou Tian knew the Demigods’ attacks were incredibly powerful, but no matter how formidable their attacks, if Zhou Tian didn’t let them hit him, the attacks would pose no threat. With his abilities, directly clashing with the Demigods was clearly disadvantageous, yet dodging their strikes, though not easy, was within his capabilities.
