Mighty Lord

Chapter 1254: Chapter 489 Creation?_2

Fortunately, although such a scenario would be a disaster for him, the likelihood of it occurring is not significant considering the current situation.

It was Pan Shi’s own fault for being overly confident and putting himself in such an embarrassing position. In this dilemma, even if Zhou Tian were to defeat him through a war of attrition, Zhou Tian believed that Pan Shi was unlikely to withdraw even then.

As such, as long as Pan Shi persisted as he was doing now, it essentially meant that Zhou Tian need not worry about the situation turning highly unfavorable for him.

Therefore, under those circumstances, Zhou Tian couldn’t be bothered to concern himself with how the situation might evolve further; instead, he unapologetically launched an attack on Pan Shi with his divine artifact in hand.

Given Zhou Tian’s current strength, the divine artifact did not significantly enhance his abilities. After all, Zhou Tian’s greatest asset was his Human Emperor’s immortal body, and even if a divine artifact were powerful, it could not amplify Zhou Tian’s immortal abilities. Thus, due to the limited help from the divine artifact, Zhou Tian rarely resorted to using weapons in combat.

However, when Zhou Tian did use the divine artifact to attack Pan Shi, the difference it made was still significant.

Regardless of how minor the help from the divine artifact was to Zhou Tian, it was still a divine artifact, after all. Even if the amplification effect was meager, the moment Zhou Tian wielded it, his attack power inevitably increased to some extent.

As a result, when Zhou Tian attacked Pan Shi with the divine artifact in hand, Pan Shi naturally found it impossible to defend with ease. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Although Pan Shi possessed formidable defense power, Zhou Tian’s punches were essentially ineffective against him.

But that didn’t speak to the whole truth. While Zhou Tian’s punches were powerful, using a weapon had an undeniable impact on him.

Punches were like that; they could either puncture a hole directly in the opponent’s body or only cause a localized shock to a small area. Given Pan Shi’s strong defense, it was harder for Zhou Tian’s fists to have any significant effect upon impact.

However, when Zhou Tian took up a weapon, it was a completely different story. With a weapon in hand, his attacks became difficult for Pan Shi to block, given his defenses.

No matter how strong Pan Shi’s defense was, it was impossible to ignore the attack of a divine artifact. Therefore, when Zhou Tian’s weapon struck Pan Shi, regardless of how outstanding Pan Shi’s defense was at the time, he inevitably sustained some damage.

Of course, considering Pan Shi’s defensive strength, even though a divine artifact could breach his defense, the damage it caused was fairly limited. Even more, with Pan Shi’s recovery ability, as soon as Zhou Tian’s divine artifact left marks on his opponent, Pan Shi could immediately recover from them.

From that situation alone, it was clear that achieving final victory was not an easy task for Zhou Tian. Unless there were accidents, the damage he inflicted on Pan Shi was unlikely to threaten his life.

Nevertheless, no matter how minor the injuries were, they still inflicted damage on the opponent. Compared to earlier when he seemed entirely unable to harm his opponent, the current battle results were enough to satisfy Zhou Tian. He believed that if no accidents occurred, even if they continued the battle as it was, he would have no complaints in the end.

Yet...

Even in a situation that seemed hopeless for defeating his opponent, Zhou Tian had still taken out his divine artifact to attack. With Pan Shi being stronger than Zhou Tian and Zhou Tian taking certain actions, it was natural that Pan Shi would also make some other preparations.

After all, Zhou Tian’s strength lay in self-preservation, while Pan Shi excelled at attacking. Now that his opponent had revealed some of his hidden trump cards, Pan Shi did not mind demonstrating his own strength, letting Zhou Tian know the true extent of his capabilities.

Given the situation then, as Zhou Tian was about to take action, Pan Shi quickly made a corresponding response.

In any case, Pan Shi’s foundation was definitely stronger than Zhou Tian’s, being an existence of at least one epoch. Even if he was a failed creation, given his talent and strength, and a bit of investigation, it was hard to believe Pan Shi lacked any hidden trump cards.

Originally, when facing an opponent like Zhou Tian, Pan Shi, with his status and strength, had no need to resort to his trump cards. But given Zhou Tian’s formidable performance, even if Pan Shi used other abilities, it might not be possible to kill Zhou Tian—but in order not to appear weak before him, Pan Shi still had to make a corresponding response at that moment. freewebnovёl.ƈom

So, initially, due to various considerations, Pan Shi did not exert too much strength, only reluctantly revealing his main attack abilities when it seemed impossible to defeat Zhou Tian. However, as Zhou Tian took action and Pan Shi’s situation worsened, he had no choice but to tap into his other abilities as well.
