Mighty Lord

Chapter 1159: 457 Chapter New Ideas_3

The Emperor-level Boss was very aware of Zhou Tian’s powerful strength, which was so overwhelming that it drove him to despair. That’s why the Emperor-level Boss collaborated with other monsters and NPCs to confront Zhou Tian. Even though his territory was now occupied by Zhou Tian, the Emperor-level Boss merely wanted to reclaim some of it, as the idea of seeking revenge against Zhou Tian had never existed from the start. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

For this reason, when the Emperor-level Boss saw Zhou Tian, he was terrified at that moment. Without needing to fight, the Boss knew very well that he had no capacity to resist against Zhou Tian, his enemy.

Seeing Zhou Tian and fleeing was undoubtedly the right response given the Boss’s strength. However, correct as his response might have been at that time, it was destined to be ineffective, as he was facing Zhou Tian. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Given Zhou Tian’s status, with his current strength, he could easily kill the Emperor-level Boss if he wished. Thus, under those circumstances, the Boss’s reappearance before Zhou Tian meant that his life was no longer in his own hands.

In fact, when Zhou Tian saw that the Emperor-level Boss wanted to flee, he was completely indifferent to the situation. He simply let the Boss flee without any overt actions, until the Boss was far away.

Zhou Tian’s inaction did not mean that the Emperor-level Boss could escape. In fact, although Zhou Tian did not pursue, it took less than ten minutes for the Boss to be captured by a group of cloned Beastmen and brought before Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian had not pursued because he was certain that the Emperor-level Boss could not escape. As he was coming over, Zhou Tian had already released his cloned Beastmen. Given the Boss’s strength, there was no need for Zhou Tian to engage personally; the strength of his cloned Beastmen alone was sufficient to defeat him.

Indeed, the situation unfolded as Zhou Tian had anticipated. No matter how strong the Emperor-level Boss was, when attacked by several dozen Beastmen of the same level, lasting even a few minutes was quite an achievement.

Originally, given the circumstances at that time, Zhou Tian could have simply ordered his cloned Beastmen to behead the Emperor-level Boss. However, Zhou Tian did not do so because, after his Beastmen had subdued the Boss, a particular idea suddenly emerged in Zhou Tian’s mind.

Killing the Emperor-level Boss had significant benefits. Had Zhou Tian decided to kill the Boss, there was no doubt that the fate of this Boss would significantly impact other Emperor-level Bosses who were enemies of Zhou Tian. This action would certainly shake their confidence, ultimately affecting their performance.

However, although killing the Emperor-level Boss had its advantages, Zhou Tian suddenly felt that he might benefit even more by sparing the Boss for now.

Zhou Tian suddenly thought that killing the Emperor-level Boss would indeed be beneficial, but what if he didn’t kill him and instead subdued him?

Upon having this thought, Zhou Tian immediately became excited.

Honestly, from an outward perspective, such an idea seemed far-fetched. It was unlikely that anyone in his position would consider such a notion. At this stage of the fight, it was either Zhou Tian being annihilated by those NPCs and monsters or him annihilating them, with no third option.

Yet, when Zhou Tian entertained this idea, the ongoing battle suddenly seemed somewhat unnecessary.

At this stage, most people, based on conventional thinking, would assume that the only option for Zhou Tian and the hostile forces was a fight to the death. Without a battle to the death, the conflict would never end.

But in fact, Zhou Tian had no intention of fighting a desperate battle with them. Considering the NPCs, their position made the current situation inevitable. And Zhou Tian indeed had no intention of reconciling; after he recovered, he would certainly settle the score with them. However, unlike with the NPCs, Zhou Tian had never entertained the idea of a desperate fight with the Emperor-level Bosses.

The Emperor-level Bosses considered Zhou Tian an enemy simply because they feared he would impact their own benefits. As such, according to Zhou Tian, there were no deadly grudges between them; their conflict was merely about interests.

Since it was a conflict over interests, Zhou Tian saw no need for a fight to the death. If the conflict could be avoided by negotiating interests, then Zhou Tian indeed had no need to completely eliminate the Emperor-level Bosses.

Of course, making such a decision was not unrelated to Zhou Tian’s current situation.(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com), and recommend monthly tickets. Your support is highly motivating. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
