Mighty Lord

Chapter 1445: Chapter 539: Eradicate the Root

Pan Shi’s initial thoughts were not at all mistaken; based on his relationship with Zhou Tian, if Zhou Tian had won the combat, he would definitely not spare him. Therefore, unless Zhou Tian no longer possessed the ability to kill him after the battle, regardless of whether Zhou Tian or those living beings achieved victory, he would certainly be the first unfortunate one.

And after understanding that, Pan Shi indeed made efforts to survive. Although it did not play a decisive role, under his covert and overt sabotage, the group of living beings almost pushed Zhou Tian into a desolate place. It was also because of Pan Shi’s actions that Zhou Tian was almost killed by them.

However, even Pan Shi could not have anticipated that Zhou Tian possessed so many Crystal Bombs; failing to expect this ultimately led to the outcome that Pan Shi did not want to see. freeweɓnøvel.com

With the help of the Crystal Bombs, Zhou Tian finally managed to defeat that group of living beings. Given the situation at the time after defeating the powerful foes and eliminating external threats, Pan Shi no longer held any utilitarian value to Zhou Tian. Depending on their relationship, Zhou Tian, grasping at even the slightest hope, would definitely not miss the opportunity to kill Pan Shi.

Not to mention, given the circumstances at the time, the possibility that Zhou Tian could eliminate Pan Shi in one fell swoop was indeed quite significant.

Outside in the outside world, Zhou Tian could not guarantee that he would encounter such a good opportunity again. Therefore, since Pan Shi was already in his hands, it was impossible for Zhou Tian to let him go.

In fact, while Zhou Tian was considering how to deal with Pan Shi, Pan Shi’s situation was not very good.

Zhou Tian survived the attacks from that group of living beings all thanks to his Immortal Body and the healing effect brought by his Time Ability. Even then, if it had not been for the Crystal Bomb, he would have almost been defeated by that group of living beings.

Although Zhou Tian who possessed several advantages almost fell into their hands, Pan Shi, who did not have Zhou Tian’s strong recovery ability, appeared impressive in killing numerous enemies, but given the situation, Pan Shi’s injuries were definitely much more severe than Zhou Tian’s.

Given the circumstances at the time, although Pan Shi managed to hold on until the end, it was due to Zhou Tian’s protection. And as the combat reached its final stages with Zhou Tian completely taking the initiative, he began to relax his protection of Pan Shi. Because of Zhou Tian’s response, it ultimately led to the current situation where despite the living beings being defeated, Pan Shi was still heavily injured and close to death.

Under the circumstances at the time, facing a barely alive Pan Shi, if Zhou Tian truly intended to deal with him, it naturally would not have posed any problem.

As a result, when Zhou Tian walked up to Pan Shi, he did not speak much after giving him one last look and then fiercely thrust his right hand toward Pan Shi.

"Just knew it wouldn’t be so simple!"

Based on Pan Shi’s condition at the time, it seemed like Zhou Tian could kill Pan Shi with just any random attack, but in reality, just as Zhou Tian was preparing to finish off Pan Shi, Pan Shi, who had been lying there, surprisingly had not fainted; when Zhou Tian’s attack descended, he suddenly leapt up, evading Zhou Tian’s strike with agility.

Having not successfully hit the target, even Zhou Tian’s immense strength could not cause any damage to Pan Shi at that moment.

Therefore, merely based on that attack, Zhou Tian’s intention to eliminate his opponent, Pan Shi, was not successfully fulfilled.

However, Zhou Tian was not particularly concerned about not having killed Pan Shi. Regardless of how Pan Shi had reserved that bit of strength given their current respective situations, Zhou Tian did not believe that Pan Shi still possessed the strength to contend with him. As long as Pan Shi’s strength was inferior to Zhou Tian’s, Zhou Tian still had the confidence to defeat him.

Thus, seeing Pan Shi’s performance, Zhou Tian was not anxious about how to subdue him; at that time, all he considered was how to toy with Pan Shi before killing him.

Just like a cat playing with a mouse, although killing the opponent was the ultimate goal, based on the relationship between Zhou Tian and his opponent, if possible, Zhou Tian would indeed enjoy teasing Pan Shi a bit before executing him, not expecting much of any other gains from it; his main purpose was to vent the frustrations he had previously suffered at Pan Shi’s hands.

Thereafter, upon discovering Pan Shi’s condition, Zhou Tian did not show any special reaction and treated him like any ordinary opponent. Discovering that Pan Shi had not passed out, using his strenth, Zhou Tian continued to relentlessly launch attacks on him.

"Considering our previous collaboration, how about sparing me this time? I promise I won’t go against you after returning."
