As a result, Zhou Tian was directly blasted away by the lion’s attack.
After successfully sending Zhou Tian, this formidable opponent, flying, the lion didn’t linger at the spot, but almost without any hesitation, it bolted deeper into the volcano after flinging away Zhou Tian, the one who stood in its way of escape.
The situation at the time had given Zhou Tian quite a shock, everything was arranged by him, and so it was no surprise that he could scare the lion. However, Zhou Tian was somewhat surprised by the lion’s performance. After all, the lion hadn’t shown such a brutal determination before and was willing to take a hard hit from his sword just to send him flying. That moment had indeed caught Zhou Tian off guard. So to speak, Zhou Tian had not planned for the lion to knock him back.
Nevertheless, even though Zhou Tian was indeed repelled by the lion then, he wasn’t disheartened when the lion successfully broke through his defense line. On the contrary, seeing the lion’s action, Zhou Tian even revealed a cold smirk.
The lion’s performance truly exceeded Zhou Tian’s expectations, but what did it matter? As Zhou Tian saw it, the lion’s current response and actions wouldn’t be of much use at that moment; on the contrary, one could directly say that the lion was heading towards its own doom. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Considering the environment at the time, fighting the lion on the volcano was exactly what Zhou Tian hoped for. Only by battling the lion on the volcano did Zhou Tian then possess enough confidence to kill his opponent.
Hence, given the situation at the time, if Zhou Tian truly had at his disposal a group of living beings from the current world, then he certainly wouldn’t wish for the lion to venture deep into the volcano. After all, with the power of the living beings of this world, Zhou Tian could directly kill it and there wouldn’t be a need to take any other actions.
But obviously, at that moment Zhou Tian didn’t control such a formidable strength, and the lion was just scaring itself. So, if Zhou Tian really wanted to deal with the other party, he still needed to rely on the power of the terrain to possibly do so.
And judging by the situation at the time, the deeper the lion ventured into the volcano, the easier it would be for Zhou Tian to deal with it later. So even though the lion had broken through his defense and entered deep into the volcano, Zhou Tian didn’t feel any anger because, in his view, the lion’s actions were tantamount to courting death.
If outside the volcano Zhou Tian wasn’t sure he could take down the lion, then the deeper the lion went into the volcano, the greater Zhou Tian’s chances of taking it down became. Thus, since the lion was seeking its own death, Zhou Tian naturally wouldn’t possibly try to stop it.
Moreover, Zhou Tian had another concern in mind at the time.
Desperate armies must win!
At that moment, the lion had mistaken the identity of Zhou Tian’s replicated Beastmen, so to the lion, if it didn’t want to die, it could only keep fleeing. And in the process of fleeing, if anyone dared to block its path, the lion would definitely explode with two hundred percent of its strength. Under such circumstances, Zhou Tian believed that whoever encountered it would likely not end up well.
So, given the situation at the time, if Zhou Tian went to directly confront the lion, although he could make use of the terrain’s help, actually taking down the opponent, while indeed possible, would also mean possibly paying a heavy price at that moment.
Therefore, instead of directly clashing with the lion at that time, Zhou Tian considered it better to temporarily avoid its sharp edge.
Now that the lion was at its fiercest, instead of fighting it head-on, it was indeed better to let it go. And once the lion believed itself to be safe, its momentum would definitely fall at that time. By then, the lion should not expect to perform beyond its strength, whether it could even normally exert its own strength had become a question. ƒrēewebnovel.com
And if Zhou Tian were to strike at that time, coupled with the help of the terrain, it would certainly be much easier to kill the lion.
As a result, because of his thoughts, Zhou Tian not only refrained from pursuing the lion after it had broken through his defenses, he let it delve into the volcano, waiting until the lion had completely entered the volcano’s interior and was unlikely to escape in a short time. Only then did Zhou Tian take new action.
Regardless of the process, Zhou Tian’s goal had never changed. He had done so many things, and in the end, there was only one purpose, which was to kill the lion.
Now, given the situation at that time, once things had progressed to this step, Zhou Tian believed it was time for him to reap the fruits of victory. After entering the volcano, the terrain was absolutely disadvantageous to the lion, and Zhou Tian had the strength needed to kill it. It didn’t matter how mighty the lion was before; now it was unlikely to maintain that momentum any longer.
