Free Web NovelChapter 1238: Chapter 484 Assassinate
Was Zhou Tian afraid of those demigods?
If he truly feared the combined strength of the demigods, then Zhou Tian wouldn’t have stayed in place at that moment; instead, he should have been flanking them from behind. Since Zhou Tian wasn’t influenced by their alliance, it also represented his full confidence in his own combat power. He was confident that, with their abilities, it was utterly impossible for them to pose a threat to him.
However, since Zhou Tian hadn’t initially considered engaging in a hard fight with the demigods, he naturally wouldn’t easily give up on his original plan at that moment.
If those demigods indeed cornered him at the end, Zhou Tian, out of compulsion, would probably have to confront them in battle. But, unless it came to that point, there was no necessity for Zhou Tian to engage in a hard fight with the demigods. Therefore, when the demigods all rushed toward his position, Zhou Tian made the appropriate response the moment he realized something was amiss.
Zhou Tian had indeed not expected the demigods to be so prepared. Caught off guard, he had almost fallen for their ploy, which nearly resulted in the collapse of his plan at the final hurdle.
But even if Zhou Tian was unprepared and caught by their tactic, it didn’t mean that the group of demigods could actually do anything to him.
Zhou Tian’s advantage in terms of combat power was very clear. If a battle was inevitable at the end, Zhou Tian would not be afraid to go to war with the demigods. And even before any battle, relying on his superior strength, Zhou Tian also had considerable advantages at that time.
For instance, the demigods only learned of their companions’ death through their previous preparations. It was after becoming aware of their companions’ deaths that the other demigods could evade Zhou Tian’s strategies and detect which area had a problem.
Unlike the demigods, Zhou Tian didn’t need to use guesses to know his enemies’ movements. With his perception ability far surpassing that of the opponents, every move the enemies made was within Zhou Tian’s perception from the beginning, which gave him a significant edge under those circumstances.
With Zhou Tian’s perception ability, he knew of the demigods’ actions as they encircled him. And with his strength, upon realizing that the group of demigods were closing in, Zhou Tian naturally didn’t need to panic but only had to make a corresponding response.
Regardless, Zhou Tian would not allow the demigods to discover him. After all, his initial strategy was to avoid a hard fight with the demigods. Under these circumstances, if he failed to respond promptly, it wouldn’t be long before the demigods would surround him. And once that happened, Zhou Tian knew his situation would become very unfavorable.
Therefore, even if it was just for his own safety, there was no way Zhou Tian would easily let that group of demigods encircle him. So, upon sensing their movements, Zhou Tian immediately prepared to stealthily slip away.
After all, both Zhou Tian’s strength and perception ability were superior to that of the opponents. Although the combat power of those demigods was formidable, with Zhou Tian aware of their every action and his strength surpassing theirs, when he was intent on hiding, the demigods’ chances of detecting Zhou Tian’s whereabouts were like a fool’s dream.
With Zhou Tian intent on concealing his trail, the demigods had no chance of finding his tracks. Upon discovering that two demigods suddenly fell, they hurried to the location where those two Deity were originally presented, only to find that Zhou Tian wasn’t there at all when they arrived.

Death, they had indeed lost two combatants there. However, they couldn’t find Zhou Tian’s traces in that area. In this situation, the group of demigods naturally became very nervous.
For no apparent reason, the demigods were well aware that their two companions could not have come to that location to commit suicide. Therefore, they could almost certainly conclude that their deaths were the result of murder. And, given the current situation, the demigods also knew that the one most likely responsible for killing their two companions was probably Zhou Tian.
But what did that clarity change?
If they had successfully cornered Zhou Tian in that position, then naturally, they could have retaliated against Zhou Tian for his recent actions. Whether victory or defeat, they could always do something based on their strength.
However, unfortunately for them, when they rushed over, the assailant Zhou Tian had already left the place early on, and under these circumstances, the group of demigods, no matter how frantic with rage, were powerless against Zhou Tian.
What’s worse, everything that had happened was revealing a very unpleasant fact to the group of demigods.
They were unclear how Zhou Tian managed it, but under the current circumstances, Zhou Tian had indeed managed to kill their two companions right under their noses. And with that situation, the demigods, while enraged with resentment towards Zhou Tian, were also frightened by the display of his power.
