Mighty Lord

Chapter 1395: 523

But even though Zhou Tian’s Crystal Bomb had not claimed the life of the Tyrannosaurus, facing Zhou Tian as an opponent—who was not even manageable in his prime, let alone now with severe injuries—meant that there was no confidence left to battle Zhou Tian again. Thus, without strong recovery abilities, while Zhou Tian had initially not intended to kill the Tyrannosaurus, the reality was that he had effectively forced his opponent to leave the field.

Resentfully glancing at Zhou Tian, although the outcome resulted from his own carelessness, the Tyrannosaurus still felt a sense of defiance. So, as it prepared to retreat, the creature couldn’t resist expressing its dissatisfaction with Zhou Tian just then.

However...

After suffering a great loss due to a moment of carelessness at the hands of Zhou Tian, the Tyrannosaurus acknowledged that it no longer had the means to challenge Zhou Tian and planned to retreat then. Although its reaction was appropriate, given the current situation, even if the Tyrannosaurus wished to leave, it truly depended on whether Zhou Tian would allow it. ƒrēewebnovel.com

From the Tyrannosaurus’s point of view, at that moment Zhou Tian still had to face Pan Shi, even though Pan Shi would not specifically rescue him. Despite being cautious of Pan Shi, the Tyrannosaurus didn’t believe Zhou Tian posed a threat.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Tian didn’t commit all his strength to dealing with him, the Tyrannosaurus was confident in his own powerful strength to ensure he wouldn’t be detained by Zhou Tian.

However...

The thoughts of the Tyrannosaurus at that moment had no mistakes, based on Zhou Tian’s current circumstances. Although it wasn’t as perilous as before, he certainly lacked the energy to chase and kill it. At that point for Zhou Tian, the foremost opponent was Pan Shi. Without having defeated or driven back Pan Shi, Zhou Tian had no energy to concern himself with the Tyrannosaurus’s reactions.

But just as Zhou Tian and the Tyrannosaurus thought it could safely retreat, the least expected entity to take action at that time suddenly struck at the Tyrannosaurus.

Just as the Tyrannosaurus had previously feared, although both Pan Shi and it were Zhou Tian’s enemies, the enemy of an enemy is a friend is merely a saying. In a shared confrontation with Zhou Tian, if the Tyrannosaurus could have been somewhat useful, then Pan Shi would indeed have treated it as a ’friend.’ But when the Tyrannosaurus proved less useful, then in Pan Shi’s view, the Tyrannosaurus might have been worthless.

Whereas if it were other living beings, perhaps seeing how things had turned out, they might have let the Tyrannosaurus leave. After all, they had some semblance of cooperation in the past, and with no necessity, there truly was no need to oppose one another.

But who would have thought that the Tyrannosaurus, unluckily, would encounter Pan Shi? And as a Dark Titan, Pan Shi’s evilness wasn’t just confined to his strength attributes—for a being like Pan Shi, even a bad mood might be enough reason to kill. Disappointed by the Tyrannosaurus’s current performance, although the fault couldn’t be placed on it, Pan Shi’s nature meant that the defeat of the Tyrannosaurus was sufficient reason for him to attack.

So...

Just as the Tyrannosaurus resentfully glanced at Zhou Tian ready to leave, an unexpected event suddenly occurred then.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion, just before the Tyrannosaurus, which hadn’t died under Zhou Tian’s earlier Crystal Bomb, was preparing to leave, it unexpectedly encountered an attack from Pan Shi, its ’ally.’ Consequently, under one attack from Pan Shi, the Tyrannosaurus didn’t even have a chance for resistance and was directly killed.

Although the Tyrannosaurus was Zhou Tian’s enemy, Pan Shi’s action at the moment not only caused no loss to him but could even be said to have exacted vengeance for him. However, even so, when Zhou Tian saw Pan Shi’s reaction, his mood still fluctuated with the opponent’s action at that moment.

Zhou Tian admitted he wasn’t a good person, labeling him selfish wasn’t an exaggeration. For his development, Zhou Tian had certainly done many questionable things. But even if Zhou Tian wasn’t exactly decent, he still had his own principles, and actions like Pan Shi’s, in Zhou Tian’s view, were absolutely unacceptable.

It could be said that just from one action of Pan Shi, Zhou Tian could see that the opponent he was facing was a being utterly devoid of any principles. Perhaps a whimsical thought might be enough to become a reason for him to exterminate countless living beings. And such beings, no matter how powerful, in Zhou Tian’s eyes, could only be considered as lunatics.

Lunatic isn’t exactly a pleasant word, but entities described by such a term are certainly not good ones to deal with. Because with such a character, if they feel that something could harm their enemies during a conflict, they wouldn’t hesitate even if it meant causing an apocalypse.

The most troublesome would probably be enemies with personalities like Pan Shi’s.

An enemy’s powerful strength isn’t terrifying, as utilizing the right method to triumph over strength with weakness is indeed achievable. But, facing enemies with personalities like Pan Shi’s, that is what Zhou Tian needed to be cautious of, because their thinking didn’t align with ordinary people. If Zhou Tian were to confront them with ordinary thinking, then probably he might be able to inflict some damage on the opponent, but he would surely also be dragged into a trap.
