Mighty Lord

Chapter 1437: 537

"Charge!"

Although Zhou Tian had tricked his opponent into a dire straits within his grasp, that very action had drawn the retaliation of that being. Because it had suffered a significant loss at Zhou Tian’s hands, the being no longer dared to underestimate Zhou Tian as an opponent.

As such, when the being decided to retaliate against Zhou Tian, it was no longer averse to using tactics that it previously considered beneath itself due to its powerful strength.

Just as it is now. Previously, the being believed it would encounter no problems in taking down Zhou Tian, so it did not consider enlisting the help of its comrades after deciding to take action. Holding an advantage in strength, thoughts of engaging in single combat with Zhou Tian were not absent from the being’s mind.

However, as Zhou Tian’s move had caught the being off-guard, and it recognized Zhou Tian’s ability to fight on equal terms, the being would certainly not give Zhou Tian any chance to defeat it, even if it felt a bit undignified.

Therefore, to increase its winning odds, the being did not hesitate to order its subordinates to launch an encirclement attack against Zhou Tian.

Undoubtedly, facing such a powerful enemy alone, Zhou Tian’s ability would not guarantee victory, but his various skills meant he should have no problem ensuring his survival. Even exploiting the right tactics could result in his opponent suffering losses, as was the case just now.

If the being were to continuously suffer at Zhou Tian’s hands, regardless of its current power, a single misstep could quite possibly lead to its downfall at Zhou Tian’s hands.

Now, with the being commanding its subordinates to encircle Zhou Tian, the situation naturally began to change.

If initially Zhou Tian had the ability to fight this powerful enemy, now facing the encirclement of those beings alone proved troublesome. Given the circumstances, should the powerful enemy wish to do something, it would be extremely difficult for Zhou Tian to stop it.

As a result, Zhou Tian’s position became perilous immediately following the beings’ encirclement.

A succession of attacks fell relentlessly. Zhou Tian’s skill would not allow the beings to easily defeat him, but given their strength, it was inevitable that their assaults would affect him.

And as Zhou Tian was impacted by their attacks, unable to fully counter the onslaught, the being, whose might was not inferior to Zhou Tian’s, took action. Zhou Tian found himself with a greatly diminished capacity for resistance.

Indeed, the development of events was almost as the being had anticipated. Although Zhou Tian was powerful and wary of the being, in such an environment, it was hard for him to fully utilize his strength. Before he could even mount a proper defensive action, he was blasted away by the enemy’s attack.

Moreover, just as Zhou Tian faced the threatening powerful enemy with little resistance, Pan Shi also encountered a corresponding threat.

Ironically, although Pan Shi’s current state should have made him an easy target for those beings to take down, the main reason they could not defeat him was Zhou Tian’s protection, which gave them no opportunity to strike.

Ordinarily, even amidst combat, as long as Zhou Tian didn’t let his guard down around Pan Shi, dealing with him would emphatically not be easy for that group of beings. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

But now, with the addition of the powerful being distracting Zhou Tian’s attention—making him struggle for his own survival—Pan Shi, who depended on Zhou Tian’s protection, was left vulnerable to the beings’ threats.

Luckily, what should have been an easy extermination of Pan Shi by the beings was averted, as most of their attention was diverted to Zhou Tian. Though Pan Shi’s situation remained precarious with Zhou Tian threatened and unable to focus on him, the intensity of the attacks he endured was considerably less than before.

It was due to the reduction in attack intensity that Pan Shi found a glimmer of hope. Under normal circumstances, given his state, if he faced a multitude of powerful enemies, no matter how many tactics he possessed, he probably would have met a bitter end.

But even now, while Pan Shi didn’t succumb to the beings thanks to his abilities, facing their encirclement, he still had no choice but to flee. Facing their threats, he had little power to resist them at that moment.
