Mighty Lord

Chapter 1506: Chapter 554_2

Almost as soon as the idea formed in his heart, Zhou Tian’s body started moving involuntarily.

Given the circumstances, if Zhou Tian had passively endured the attacks without counterattacking, he surely would have had no chance of winning. And his counterattacks, based on his abilities at that time, didn’t pose much of a threat to those living beings. In such a situation, if Zhou Tian didn’t leverage his strength advantage to actively close the distance and force those beings to reveal their weaknesses, Zhou Tian wouldn’t have dreamt of winning the battle today, let alone escaping easily.

Earlier, he was somewhat indecisive, but now, after testing the waters with his Time Ability and sensing that there weren’t any particularly powerful members among those living beings, Zhou Tian instinctively charged at them.

Seeing Zhou Tian charging towards them, those living beings first froze, then immediately reacted in panic.

If they were unaware of Zhou Tian’s strength, they would certainly have laughed out loudly at his response at that moment. After all, given his actions, if his abilities were insufficient, this move would undoubtedly cost him his life. In this world, where the disparity in strength among living beings is small and they had an absolute numerical advantage, Zhou Tian’s actions would have been considered suicidal.

However, these living beings had witnessed Zhou Tian’s capabilities, and under these circumstances, they could not naïvely believe that their numerical advantage would be enough to defeat him.

Previously, although Zhou Tian hadn’t used his Time Ability to greatly affect those living beings, his performance had indirectly proven his strength. Even if Zhou Tian’s Time Ability couldn’t kill those beings, based on his performance, it was clear that their siege attempting to break through Zhou Tian’s defenses wouldn’t be an easy task.

Since they couldn’t break through Zhou Tian’s defenses, the numerical advantage of those beings couldn’t fundamentally guarantee their victory. Even if they had some advantage in numbers, if they wanted to win, those beings would still have to rely on their strength to defeat Zhou Tian.

Obviously, if those living beings had the capability to defeat Zhou Tian, they probably wouldn’t have resorted to the Human Sea Tactic. According to Zhou Tian’s performance, those beings knew that if they confronted him head-on, they definitely wouldn’t stand a chance.

So, as a natural response, realizing they could not defeat him, when those living beings saw Zhou Tian charging at them, their first instinct was to distance themselves from him. freewebnøvel.com

Thus, although Zhou Tian was the one surrounded, when he charged at those beings, they instinctively retreated.

Regrettably for them, even though they knew their strength was inferior to Zhou Tian’s, and thus initially reacted by avoiding combat, they naturally couldn’t outrun Zhou Tian in terms of speed.

As such, although those beings had no intention of engaging Zhou Tian in combat, since he was determined to confront them, the battle situation didn’t allow for them to avoid fighting.

As a result, as those living beings desperately retreated, Zhou Tian unhesitatingly chased after them. Given Zhou Tian’s speed, under the circumstance where he was unwilling to let them go, that living being, despite trying to avoid combat, eventually couldn’t escape being caught up by Zhou Tian.

Given the situation then, when Zhou Tian caught up with those living beings, his actions were naturally predictable.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Without any hesitation, just after catching up with the retreating beings, Zhou Tian immediately launched a furious attack on them. In close combat, Zhou Tian’s strength advantage was fully displayed, and with a barrage of attacks landing on their bodies, the few living beings Zhou Tian had approached were quickly subdued by his onslaught.

Undoubtedly, based on Zhou Tian’s performance then, it was clear those beings were no match for him, and once Zhou Tian got close, those beings faced an inevitable defeat.

Therefore, it could be said that at that time, those beings should not have allowed Zhou Tian to close the distance between them. Once he managed to do so, they likely had no chances of winning anymore.

Based on the psychology of those beings, seeing or not seeing the battle results of Zhou Tian’s current encounter wouldn’t change their reaction. Having already experienced Zhou Tian’s strength, they had no intention of engaging in a hard fight with him, and now, upon realizing Zhou Tian’s close combat ability, it merely reinforced their decision to flee once Zhou Tian got close.
