Mighty Lord

Chapter 1134: Chapter 449 Desolate Place_2

Being injured was only to be expected; Zhou Tian’s strength was far inferior to those NPC demigods. Managing to survive their attacks was commendable enough; Zhou Tian never thought he could entirely fend off the NPC demigods’ strikes without a scratch.

Thus, even though Zhou Tian was on the defensive and taking hits from start to finish, he felt remarkably calm given the circumstances. He knew that if the combat situation continued like this, there would be no problem in persisting until he could upgrade.

However, it was clear that Zhou Tian could sense something those NPC demigods could as well. Zhou Tian knew that if he kept fighting in that manner, he could buy enough time. But didn’t those NPC demigods realize this? Generally speaking, there seemed to be no reason for the NPC demigods to give Zhou Tian such an opportunity.

The NPC demigods had come to prevent Zhou Tian from upgrading, even to kill him. If their arrival turned out not only to fail in stopping Zhou Tian’s upgrade but to actually enhance his renown, they would likely find it impossible to continue living with such disgrace. Additionally, for the benefit of their clan, those NPCs seemingly had no reason to allow Zhou Tian the chance to keep fighting.

As a result, upon realizing that they seemed unable to defeat Zhou Tian given the current combat situation, the NPC demigods quickly changed their tactics at that moment.

What about death?

For the NPC demigods at that time, they feared failing their clan’s mission more than death itself. After all, if Zhou Tian did successfully upgrade, they figured they would likely die anyway. Thus, upon realizing that fighting Zhou Tian in a conventional manner was difficult, the NPC demigods, even at the cost of some sacrifices, started to think of other methods to defeat Zhou Tian.

Consequently, upon realizing they seemingly couldn’t take Zhou Tian down, those NPC demigods, without much consideration, gritted their teeth, made up their minds, and immediately changed their previously cautious behavior, directly engaging Zhou Tian in a fight for life.

No matter what, they must kill Zhou Tian; when those NPC demigods fought with that mindset, Zhou Tian’s troubles significantly increased at that moment.

Although Zhou Tian continually held his own against the NPC demigods’ attacks, in reality, he never gained an upper hand. Thus, if those NPC demigods truly disregarded their lives to target him, Zhou Tian indeed didn’t have much confidence to say he could ignore their threat. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Indeed, once those NPC demigods took action, they indeed caused considerable trouble for Zhou Tian.

The NPC demigods didn’t rush to do anything to Zhou Tian, even though they possessed divine weapons capable of killing him. However, no matter how powerful the force, it’s useless if it doesn’t hit the target. Given Zhou Tian’s speed, the likelihood of escaping the NPC demigods’ attacks was not small.

Therefore, to ensure that their attacks indeed posed a threat to Zhou Tian, those NPC demigods, who were utterly indifferent to their own lives, then did a series of seemingly insane things.

Instigated by one of the NPC demigods, a group of them completely disregarded their safety. As Zhou Tian’s attacks kept falling, they hesitated not a moment to meet Zhou Tian’s attacks and even wrapped themselves around his body.

With one sword strike, Zhou Tian, utilizing the Demon-Slaying Short Sword’s ability, directly split one NPC demigod in half at that moment. However, as Zhou Tian split his opponent, that NPC demigod suddenly used their ability to fuse themselves back together. Hence, although the Demon-Slaying Short Sword almost killed that NPC demigod instantly, Zhou Tian’s actions were involuntarily paused for a moment.

If it had been any other time, a brief interruption in Zhou Tian’s actions wouldn’t have been a big deal. He wouldn’t lose his life from being unable to move momentarily; moreover, if truly in combat, Zhou Tian’s abilities would let him sustain any injuries and still likely save his own life.

But times had changed; previously, Zhou Tian could ignore such threats from opponents because they were weaker than him, making it very difficult for them to pose any real threat. However, the group of NPC demigods Zhou Tian was facing not only were no pushovers, but their combined strength was far superior to his. At such moments, even slight negligence on Zhou Tian’s part, however minor, proved quite fatal.

As a result, in the moments Zhou Tian froze, a few other NPC demigods directly threw themselves onto him, holding him tightly. Thereafter, those NPCs wielding divine weapons then used the power of their weapons to prepare their attack on Zhou Tian.

Seeing the actions of those NPC demigods, Zhou Tian was seriously frightened at that moment.

What a joke; based on the strength of those NPC demigods alone, they were already a significant threat to Zhou Tian. Under these circumstances, they were even preparing to leverage the power of divine weapons. Given the strength of those NPC demigods using divine weapons to launch an attack, Zhou Tian knew facing such an attack would most certainly lead to a fatal outcome.
