Chapter 1326: Chapter 513_2
Zhou Tian, upon seeing the rabbit’s actions, not only did not step in to stop it, but also didn’t think of pursuing it after the rabbit had gotten far away.
Firstly, Zhou Tian was busy dealing with the fox at the time, thinking it better to break one finger than to injure ten, he preferred to first kill the fox before considering keeping them all. Secondly, the rabbit cultivated the Lightning Law, and although Zhou Tian could surpass both of their speeds in a short time using his Time Ability, he really couldn’t maintain the use of the Time Ability for long durations, and thus couldn’t match the rabbit’s speed.
The speed of lightning is comparable to that of light, and although the rabbit couldn’t truly transform into lightning, its speed when using its abilities to travel was certainly astonishing. Under those circumstances, it was clear that if Zhou Tian were to chase the rabbit, leaving aside whether he could catch up, if he did catch the rabbit, he did not know how much time it would consume.
For a goal he wasn’t even sure he could achieve, Zhou Tian would not give up the opportunity to kill the fox at hand. After all, compared to the task of chasing the rabbit, Zhou Tian had already nearly completed killing the fox at the time, and it was just a matter of time before he succeeded, assuming no accidents occurred.
As a result, considering various factors, Zhou Tian ignored the rabbit’s escape and directly continued to disrupt the fox’s counterattack while constantly landing punches on it.
With almost no accidents occurring, as Zhou Tian’s strikes kept landing on the fox, the injuries on the fox rapidly worsened, visibly to the naked eye. Under those circumstances, if no changes occurred, even if Zhou Tian continued this method to kill the fox, there wouldn’t be any unpleasant surprises.
Realizing its situation, the fox also became secretly anxious. But who let it become careless and allow Zhou Tian to get close? Now, with Zhou Tian having closed the distance between them, it became impossible for the fox to survive.
As expected, there were no unpleasant surprises. With Zhou Tian’s continuous attacks, the injuries on the fox kept worsening. Without any external help and under the sustained assault from Zhou Tian, the fox did not hold out for long and was beaten to death by Zhou Tian’s bare hands.
"Phew!"
Although Zhou Tian had the upper hand from the beginning and faced little trouble before killing the fox, he still couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief after actually killing it.
It might have looked simple for Zhou Tian to kill the fox, but the reality of continuously attacking it up close while ensuring that it had no chance to counterattack required his full attention. Even though he managed to kill the fox, the process had also unavoidably consumed a great deal of his energy.
"Next time, I should keep my distance!"
Even as the victor, Zhou Tian still felt his earlier battle had been unworthy. Thus, after achieving the final victory, he still regretted his earlier decision. He believed that if no accidental circumstances arose, he would avoid getting too close to this world’s creatures’ battlefield in the future.
However, no matter what the future held, having successfully killed the fox, it was time for him to leave. After all, even if his combat was in close quarters, the previous battle had caused a considerable commotion. With a rabbit having escaped as well, who could tell if, before long, a large number of local creatures would come to confront him?
Although victorious, Zhou Tian had experienced firsthand how formidable the local creatures of this world could be. Just based on the demonstrated strength of the rabbit and the fox, Zhou Tian might barely manage one or two such creatures, but if there were many such creatures, Zhou Tian wouldn’t stand a chance against a group of them, even if he were at his prime, which was currently only a tenth of its strength. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Knowing that staying could lead to danger, Zhou Tian immediately decided to leave then.
Without a second thought, he headed in an unknown direction. With all his strength focused on fleeing, Zhou Tian left the area almost as fast as the rabbit had.
Shortly after Zhou Tian left, a group of rabbits indeed arrived at the area. Finding Zhou Tian gone, they were ready to leave, but when they discovered that he had not taken the fox’s corpse with him, they excitedly howled and pounced on the corpse of the fox...
