Chapter 1431: Chapter 535: Changes in the Situation _2
It must have been because he possessed a strength that ordinary living beings could not match, which allowed that hidden enemy to control the living beings currently before them. Similarly, if the hidden living being was very powerful, then Zhou Tian was in for serious trouble.
Facing the living beings before them required Zhou Tian and his allies to join forces to have a chance at victory. If another enemy appeared, one not weaker and perhaps even stronger than them, Zhou Tian truly had no confidence in proclaiming his ability to guarantee his safety in such a situation.
If Zhou Tian had the opportunity, given his usual way of handling things, he might actually consider abandoning Pan Shi and fleeing. Especially if everything turned out as he expected, even the combined strength with Pan Shi might not suffice for a guaranteed protection against the threat of those enemies.
Regrettably, although considering the current situation might reveal the problem, Zhou Tian had thought of that issue. However, given the circumstances, with the threat from those living beings looming, his main energy had already been spent on dealing with them. As for what kind of situation he was actually in, Zhou Tian couldn’t say he was completely unconcerned, but he truly hadn’t delved deep into it.
Thus, even though the current situation was not difficult to predict, due to environmental reasons, Zhou Tian still did not respond immediately. Once he gained the absolute upper hand, his zeal in attacking those living beings was undoubtedly greater than his concern for his current predicament.
Even according to the situation at that time, no accidents occurring was fine, but if any accidents did occur, the trouble Zhou Tian would face thereafter truly could not be downplayed.
In fact, there was no need to hypothesize by then; once the situation evolved to that step, the beings behind those living beings could naturally not withhold taking action.
Zhou Tian’s arrival was a surprise!
Although the intelligence of the living beings in this world was not low, they clearly did not possess the cunning of living beings from the outside world. For the living beings of this world, an enemy was an enemy. If there was an opportunity, that group of living beings would not miss any chance to take down their enemy. In this scenario, after they projected themselves into Zhou Tian’s role, they naturally believed that if there was an opportunity, Zhou Tian would definitely take down Pan Shi.
Thus, in the eyes of those living beings, Zhou Tian was a tool they could use. From start to finish, they never considered that, because of their threats, Zhou Tian would unexpectedly take action to help Pan Shi.
Since they did not anticipate Zhou Tian’s response, those living beings also did not prepare accordingly. Thus, after Zhou Tian joined forces with Pan Shi, they almost immediately disrupted the entirety of those living beings’ deployment. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
However...
Though Zhou Tian’s appearance directly disrupted the layout of those living beings, their overall combat power was so formidable that even though Zhou Tian’s arrival added some trouble, fundamentally speaking, it did not alter the disparity in strength between the two sides.
It seemed Zhou Tian and Pan Shi were suppressing those living beings, but that was because Zhou Tian’s joining caused them to underestimate the combat power on Pan Shi’s side. Consequently, without proper preparation, those living beings were indeed caught off guard by Zhou Tian.
However, the suppression that Zhou Tian and Pan Shi could exert was only on those living beings who had already taken action at that moment. In reality, that group had not exerted their full strength, and once those living beings unleashed all their strength, Zhou Tian might find it not so easy to defeat them as he did just then.
Even comparing the overall strength of both sides, at that time, Zhou Tian and his allies were likely still on the weaker side.
After all, holding some advantages in overall strength without exhibiting it allowed Zhou Tian and Pan Shi to suppress those living beings. However, once those living beings displayed their full combat power, even relying on Zhou Tian’s strength, it was very hard to guarantee that he could help Pan Shi win.
As a result, when the powerhouses behind those living beings took action, Zhou Tian immediately suffered losses at that moment.
"Roar!"
A sudden roar entered Zhou Tian’s ears, and before he could even understand what was happening, he felt a tremendous force transfer onto his body, and immediately, without time for any other response, he was sent flying.
"What?"
Although Zhou Tian had been mostly enduring attacks from those living beings and seldom counterattacking, given Zhou Tian’s strength, although he might get injured, being directly knocked away like this certainly had never happened before.
Given Zhou Tian’s strength, one could imagine that sending him flying was not an easy feat.
But now, even as Zhou Tian and Pan Shi were completely suppressing the living beings before them, an attack had managed to produce such an effect, a development that certainly wasn’t good news for Zhou Tian and his allies.
