Mighty Lord

Chapter 1357: Chapter 511 Hidden Trump Card_3

As a result, after the lion had unleashed its second ability, it had already pounced towards Zhou Tian. Under those circumstances, even if Zhou Tian had wanted to avoid a hard fight with the lion, once it had charged up to him, Zhou Tian had no other choice.

Thus, with no accidents occurring at that time, after the lion had rushed up to Zhou Tian, he inevitably engaged in combat with his opponent.

However, because Zhou Tian had earlier suffered a slight disadvantage against the lion, during that threat, he did not engage in a barehanded combat with the opponent. In that situation, Zhou Tian quickly pulled out a weapon and then began his fight with the lion.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

As if forging metal, when Zhou Tian fought the lion with the weapon, a series of metallic collision sounds emanated from where they fought. During the battle, roars of the lion intermittently sounded, and whenever the two heads of the lion cooperated, Zhou Tian’s figure often paused momentarily, and shortly after his body halted, he would generally be wounded by the lion.

Nonetheless, because Zhou Tian possessed an immortal body and time ability, no matter what disadvantages he faced from the lion, he could almost instantly recover. Therefore, even after the lion used its two abilities, which greatly enhanced its strength, the duel between them ultimately remained unchanged.

Although Zhou Tian occasionally received injuries, with his slightly superior close combat ability, he was still generally able to suppress the opponent. It can be said that if it weren’t for the lion’s second ability providing strong defense power, thereby rendering most of Zhou Tian’s attacks ineffective, based on the battle situation at the time, the lion might have long been subdued by Zhou Tian’s close combat ability.

Even though Zhou Tian hadn’t gained a significant advantage currently, at this point in the struggle, Zhou Tian could arguably be said to have won.

The reason was very simple. Although it seemed Zhou Tian and the lion were evenly matched, in reality, the lion had already used all its hidden trump cards. The combination of two regulatory abilities was indeed powerful, but disregarding the consumption issue alone, maintaining its condition amidst such an intense battle was clearly not an easy task.

In comparison, although Zhou Tian had also been fighting with all his strength, he had only used his close combat ability. Given the circumstances at that time, the consumption of using such an ability in combat was significantly low for Zhou Tian, and maintaining that combat power for an extended period wouldn’t be difficult for him.

Thus, while one side struggled to maintain its power, the other could easily sustain it. Even though both sides seemed evenly matched at the time, as the battle dragged on and the lion’s strength began to wane, it would no longer be difficult for Zhou Tian to defeat his opponent.

Because he had substantial confidence in his abilities, during that phase of the battle, Zhou Tian not only didn’t exhibit any negative emotions but also maintained a vigorous fighting spirit.

Seeing the battle progress to this stage, the clearly intelligent lion finally became desperate.

At that moment, it hadn’t completely lost yet, but the lion had already sensed that continuing to fight Zhou Tian would inevitably lead to its defeat, and it knew it needed to make a change based on the situation.

Retreat!

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, the lion had already started to flee outward.

In his combat with the lion, it seemed unlikely that Zhou Tian would retreat. Unless he could defeat or even kill his opponent, Zhou Tian would persist.

However, the lion was not Zhou Tian, so that response at the time was quite normal.

After all, different circumstances had resulted in that situation between Zhou Tian and the lion. ƒrēewebnovel.com

Firstly, although it appeared that Zhou Tian and the lion were not far apart in strength, in reality, Zhou Tian possessed an immortal body due to the Human Emperor’s immortal physique, allowing him to disregard his safety unless he faced an opponent too powerful to confront directly. Otherwise, with no worries about his own safety, he could always persist in a desperate fight with most of his enemies.

On the other hand, the lion could not make such a carefree decision as Zhou Tian.

No matter how powerful, the lion at that moment could only be considered an ordinary living being. Thus, if it accidentally sustained a fatal injury, no matter how strong it was, it would still ultimately die. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Therefore, the lion, lacking an immortal body, could not disregard all dangers and persist in a battle where the odds were not in its favor, as Zhou Tian did.

Moreover, regardless of the safety issues of both sides, a reason for fighting meant that the lion could not make the same decision as Zhou Tian.

Zhou Tian hunted mainly to enhance his strength, whereas the lion hunted merely to satiate its hunger. Although this explanation was not comprehensive, the objectives of their hunting generally fell within these two reasons. (To be continued.
