Actually, at that time, the NPCs who initiated an attack on Zhou Tian were definitely not just one or two gods. Without exception, those NPCs held no good impression of Zhou Tian. If Zhou Tian did not fight them directly, those NPCs would have found it hard to find an opportunity to strike at him immediately. But now that Zhou Tian himself had approached them, those NPCs did not mind taking that opportunity to try to eliminate Zhou Tian, their enemy, once and for all.
However, the joint attack of those NPCs was, naturally, not without its threats to Zhou Tian. Yet, faced with the threats of those NPCs, Zhou Tian completely ignored the attacks of the other NPCs, focusing solely on the god who was a cultivator of the Time Rule.
Allowing the attacks of the other NPCs to land on him, Zhou Tian acted as if he could not feel the threat those NPCs posed. Ignoring the gods’ attacks, he lunged directly towards the cultivator of the Time Rule.
Upon seeing Zhou Tian’s action, that god did not feel scared. Although he was puzzled as to why Zhou Tian would behave in such a way, his strength was evident. Even if he did not understand Zhou Tian’s actions, he did not believe Zhou Tian could do much to him. So, when confronted with Zhou Tian’s threat, the god did not get scared by Zhou Tian’s actions and bravely moved forward to meet him head-on.
Upon seeing the action of that NPC, Zhou Tian, without saying a word, took out his Demon-Slaying Short Sword at that moment.
Upon seeing Zhou Tian’s action, the god, without any hesitation, immediately froze Zhou Tian’s time for a moment. Following that, before Zhou Tian could utilize the power of his Demonic Slaying Weapon to weaken the attacks of those NPCs, he was directly blown away by their attacks.
However, as Zhou Tian’s body was blown away, before he even completely hit the ground, his figure returned to the original spot at that moment. Knowing Zhou Tian had used his Time Ability, those NPCs were not surprised by his performance; instead, after giving him a furious look, they prepared to attack him again.
Although Zhou Tian was not fighting alone at that time, indeed, he was the main force against those NPCs, but his centaur troops were also capable of contributing. Thus, just as those NPCs prepared to launch their second wave of attacks on Zhou Tian, his centaurs attacked, mandating those NPCs to turn back and defend against the arrows shooting up from below.
Under the attack of the centaurs, the attack of those NPCs targeting Zhou Tian was significantly disrupted. The joint attack that could have potentially injured Zhou Tian was not able to unfold and was directly destroyed.
Meanwhile, as Zhou Tian’s centaurs began their assault on those NPCs, Zhou Tian did not waste such a good attack opportunity. He saw that those NPCs had already diverted their attention downward, inevitably neglecting his attack. By exploiting this opportunity to strike at those NPCs, he naturally posed a significant threat to them.
Indeed, Zhou Tian thought and acted in just that way, not letting go of any slight chance for victory. Thus, as those NPCs were busy blocking the arrows from below, Zhou Tian used that moment to focus his Time Ability specifically on the NPC he was targeting. freewёbnoνel.com
Although the opponent was also a cultivator of the Time Rule, amidst having to fend off the attacks from below and counteract the Time Ability Zhou Tian had used on him, even the NPC’s immense power was hard-pressed to cope under those circumstances. Consequently, with his abilities, it was difficult to guarantee he wouldn’t make a mistake under the combined assault of Zhou Tian and the centaur troops.
In what seemed a quite normal sequence of events, after holding out for a while, the NPC ultimately succumbed to a lapse that allowed Zhou Tian’s Time Ability to affect him. Although the pause was less than three seconds, in that brief span, the centaurs, under Zhou Tian’s remote command, had already launched an assault on him.
Thus, a moment’s negligence allowed the NPC to be struck by thousands of arrows; with the attack power of the centaurs, the arrows, upon striking him, indeed caused injuries. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Regrettably, although Zhou Tian successfully ambushed his opponent using his abilities, the NPC was a Time Rule cultivator after all. Hence, the time Zhou Tian had bought for his centaurs was slightly short. Otherwise, given the circumstances at that time, just a few minutes of persistent attack by the centaurs would have been sufficient to severely injure the NPC, if not kill him.
Although the effect of that joint attack was not very good, Zhou Tian was still satisfied with the result. After all, he was facing an NPC god, whose demi-god level power, unless hindered, is fundamentally difficult to kill.
Zhou Tian was able to kill an NPC only because the latter was guarding that passage; without that reason, Zhou Tian basically had no chance of killing the opponent.
Similarly, the NPC Zhou Tian was targeting might not be very tough in strength, but given the situation at that time, with the help of other NPCs, Zhou Tian would not have had any opportunity to kill him. No matter how effective Zhou Tian and his centaurs’ joint attack was, facing the situation at the time, it was very difficult for them to pose a threat to those NPCs.
Although Zhou Tian did not manage to kill that NPC at once, he did achieve part of his objective. After all, from the beginning, Zhou Tian never thought he could do much to those NPCs; in his plans, he merely aimed to repel those NPCs. Not to mention killing, even managing to injure those NPCs would have been an unexpected gain for him. (To be continued.
