Chapter 1429: 534
And if matters really developed to that extent, Zhou Tian might indeed become the ultimate winner.
Under the joint attack of Zhou Tian and Pan Shi, these living beings had already suffered considerable losses by this time, having lost a small portion of their forces as things developed to this point. If the battle situation continued in this manner, by the time these living beings were wiped out, even if there were other living beings in the world that could pose a threat to Zhou Tian and his allies, by then it would be very difficult to truly threaten him.
Pan Shi’s condition was even worse than that of those living beings.
On the surface, after joining forces with Zhou Tian, Pan Shi did suppress those living beings significantly, and continuing the combat in this manner, he and Zhou Tian could indeed achieve ultimate victory. But now the problem was, based on his position, no matter how things developed, Pan Shi was absolutely unlikely to end up well.
If those living beings were victorious, it goes without saying, based on their motive for taking action, it was clear that Pan Shi would definitely end up dead without a chance for life.
And even if Zhou Tian ultimately won, it still didn’t mean that Pan Shi would end up any better.
Compared to Zhou Tian, although Pan Shi’s strength was not much lesser, given their circumstances at the time and just because his recovery ability wasn’t as strong as Zhou Tian’s, it was enough to signify that he and Zhou Tian would meet different fates in the end. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Because of his strong recovery ability, Zhou Tian could devise ways to heal his injuries during that combat. In that situation, Zhou Tian could be described as growing stronger as the battle progressed, and his injuries could fully heal through his recovery ability once the enemies’ strength dropped to a certain standard. Based on the situation at the time, Zhou Tian was mostly likely able to restore his condition to its peak after this battle ended.
Because Pan Shi lacked the recovery ability Zhou Tian possessed, it’s not that he couldn’t restore his condition, but in the course of such a battle at the time, it was quite unlikely for Pan Shi to restore his state.
Despite Pan Shi’s strong performance while attacking those living beings, where nearly all the living beings that retreated were injured by his attacks, the energy he consumed in his relentless attacking process was significant.
Therefore, although Pan Shi appeared to play a significant role there, in reality, while attacking those living beings, he was constantly draining his own energy. Although, given the consumption at the time, collapsing him directly was certainly not likely, maintaining such intensity in battle was undoubtedly something even someone with Pan Shi’s strength might not be able to endure.
Thus, with his original state deteriorating today, after Pan Shi continues fighting like this, it’s very likely he will even struggle to last until this war ends. And in this situation, setting aside the relationship between Pan Shi and Zhou Tian, just based on Pan Shi’s current circumstances, if he continues fighting like this, he’s probably doomed to not end well.
But clearly, even though Pan Shi was aware of his situation at the time, he still had no way to change anything right then. Because after the conflict had progressed to this stage, it was no longer a situation where Pan Shi could easily change the course.
If he continued to fight, Pan Shi was certainly doomed. But if Pan Shi did nothing at that moment, he would still not end up well. Because even if Zhou Tian didn’t deal with him, those living beings would still not give him any hope to survive.
Thus, caught between death either way, Pan Shi naturally preferred to die in the way he hoped.
Without a doubt, compared to falling into the hands of those living beings and being devoured after getting killed, Pan Shi would rather die in battle like now. After all, Pan Shi still had some pride regardless of his strength and status; he couldn’t accept dying in a disgraced manner. If he had to die, he hoped to die gloriously in battle.
Moreover, it’s better to live badly than to die well. Pan Shi knew if he didn’t fight at this time, he would certainly be killed immediately. But if he continued to fight, he wouldn’t say much for certain, but at least it wouldn’t be a problem for him to fight for some more time to survive.
Anything could happen in this world. How would Pan Shi have initially thought that Zhou Tian’s strength would suddenly surpass him? And the involvement of those living beings later was even more of an accident, and it was precisely due to those accidents that created the current situation. Otherwise, under normal circumstances theoretically speaking, how could Pan Shi have ended up like this?
Thus, as long as he kept persisting, Pan Shi believed a miracle could always occur at some point.
Regardless, with Pan Shi’s strength apparent, were it not for those continuous accidents, he was confident he wouldn’t have ended up in his current situation. And now, he didn’t need to prepare anything, as long as he persisted and if there was any change in the situation in the future, based on Pan Shi’s strength, fighting for that glimmer of hope was not likely to be a difficult matter from any aspect.
Thus, considering the situation at that time, Pan Shi’s reaction was naturally not surprising at all. freēwēbnovel.com
And whatever future changes the battle situation might bring, at least Pan Shi’s current response was very beneficial to Zhou Tian. After their alliance, the encirclement by those living beings no longer posed much of a threat to them, but it was precisely under the threat of those living beings that not only did Zhou Tian and his allies ensure their safety, it severely diminished the strength of those living beings.
