Free Web NovelChapter 1144: Chapter 452: Counterattack_3
At the first opportunity, that Emperor-level BOSS had used all his abilities, and then, with his advantage in strength, it was quite easy for him to take down a replicated Beastman released by Zhou Tian. However, the actions of that Emperor-level BOSS at that time were of little significance.
After one replicated Beastman was killed, other replicated Beastmen immediately took its place. The efforts of that Emperor-level BOSS, from that perspective, seemed to be completely in vain.
While that Emperor-level BOSS was still unable to resist the attacks of those replicated Beastmen, his subordinates, the lesser monsters, were naturally even less able to withstand the assault from Zhou Tian’s replicated Beastmen. Thus, though the arrangement of that Emperor-level BOSS couldn’t be called a mistake, it ultimately only served to spare Zhou Tian some trouble.
As a result, while that Emperor-level BOSS struggled continuously, Zhou Tian didn’t take any other actions; he just kept sending his replicated Beastmen to besiege the opponent. In the face of his absolute strength, the efforts of that Emperor-level BOSS were ultimately proven to be utterly meaningless. freewёbnoνel.com
With his absolute strength advantage, Zhou Tian used his replicated Beastmen to annihilate all the elite lesser monsters under that Emperor-level BOSS. Not only that, but Zhou Tian’s replicated Beastmen also severely injured the Emperor-level BOSS himself. In such a situation, Zhou Tian just needed to finish off the already severely injured Emperor-level BOSS, and all the territories owned by the opponent would fall into his hands.
Considering the circumstances at that time, Zhou Tian, seeing the Emperor-level BOSS severely injured, was certainly not about to be courteous with the opponent. Almost immediately after clearing out the lesser monsters, Zhou Tian casually took out a long sword and, under the frightened gaze of the Emperor-level BOSS, struck down with it. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
A large amount of Fire Elements gathered, and when Zhou Tian struck with his sword, those Fire Elements rushed together towards the Emperor-level BOSS, and at that moment, Zhou Tian’s strike split the BOSS in two.
"Take over this territory!" feeling no surprise, an Emperor-level BOSS might be powerful, but not only had Zhou Tian severely injured the opponent beforehand, but given the power of the divine weapon in Zhou Tian’s hand, it seemed only natural for him to be able to kill the Emperor-level BOSS with one strike. Thus, after successfully killing the Emperor-level BOSS, Zhou Tian was obviously not surprised by this outcome.
Right after Zhou Tian issued the order to attack, his Beastmen, without hesitation, launched an assault on the territory owned by the Emperor-level BOSS. Given the state of that territory, with its ruling Emperor-level BOSS and all his elite monsters dead, Zhou Tian naturally found it quite easy to take over that territory, resulting in him acquiring another part of the Mainland.
It could be said that if Zhou Tian could assimilate this territory, his strength was certain to advance further. Even if Zhou Tian couldn’t assimilate the Mainland, just by having annexed it, considering the territories he had lost, Zhou Tian would probably be able to persist for a considerable time.
Of course, conquering a territory of Emperor-level indeed alleviated the significant pressure Zhou Tian was facing at the moment. However, acquiring that Mainland didn’t mean Zhou Tian could rest easy. Given the current situation, Zhou Tian could be said to be at odds with the entire world, and one Emperor-level territory, though not small, couldn’t guarantee that the territories Zhou Tian would lose would be less than this one. Thus, to ensure he could maximize his chances of not being overthrown, Zhou Tian, having conquered that Emperor-level territory, naturally couldn’t feel satisfied then.
Thus, soon after rapidly conquering one territory, he didn’t hesitate at all and ordered his large army to march towards another territory nearby inhabited by monsters.
This time, Zhou Tian’s encounter was different.
If it weren’t for the previous actions, it’s likely that any monster facing Zhou Tian would likely have done the same as that fallen Emperor-level BOSS. But now, with the precedent set and the monsters realizing not only had Zhou Tian gained the ability of an Immortal Body, but his combat power had also significantly increased at that time, they naturally didn’t have the courage to face Zhou Tian.
So, given the circumstances at that time, those monsters hesitated no longer and immediately engaged in guerrilla warfare with Zhou Tian.
Those Emperor-level BOSSes were very clear that, based on the previous combat with Zhou Tian, no Emperor-level BOSS facing Zhou Tian would likely be victorious. Thus, rather than letting Zhou Tian easily defeat them eventually, those monsters considered their only chance of winning was to delay the time. In a situation where they couldn’t defeat Zhou Tian, they naturally could only use their defensive advantage in an attempt to drag out the time.
Those monsters clearly understood they were no match for Zhou Tian, but that didn’t matter to them as long as they did not directly confront him. Even if Zhou Tian’s strength was formidable, it was estimated to be meaningless at that time. On the contrary, as long as they could ensure that their territory wouldn’t be easily annexed by Zhou Tian, they would then have the advantage.
Consequently, based on the situation at that time and the actions of those monsters, Zhou Tian soon felt the pressure. (To be continued...
