Mighty Lord

Chapter 1531: 560_3

So it happened that as soon as Zhou Tian realized he was trapped in place by those living beings, he only hesitated for a brief moment before he gritted his teeth and initiated a fierce resistance.

No matter what, Zhou Tian would never obediently allow himself to be trapped and killed on the spot by those creatures because if he did not hasten his speed to break out of the encirclement at that moment, the enemies would have ample time to cultivate his opponent. Should that Human Emperor truly grow to a certain level, Zhou Tian feared he might not be able to defeat him in the future.

Under the circumstances where he still possessed an immortal body, not to mention that Zhou Tian’s strength at that time was quite formidable, even if Zhou Tian’s current strength was weaker, if he truly wanted to break out, it’s not to say that the encirclement of those creatures would have no effect, but if they intended to stop Zhou Tian, that indeed would not be an easy task.

Moreover, before Zhou Tian really began to break out, who among those living beings could have anticipated that Zhou Tian would react in such a way?

Although Zhou Tian indeed brought substantial casualties to those living beings through a series of battles, he had always been continuously fleeing. From this perspective alone, it seemed that Zhou Tian had no intention of engaging them in a direct conflict.

In the eyes of those creatures, no matter how strong Zhou Tian was, now that he was surrounded by their large army, he would have no choice but to obediently remain there. If Zhou Tian hid well, they could only trap him there, but if Zhou Tian showed a weakness, although there was no longer a strict order to find and kill Zhou Tian, considering how much they had suffered at his hands, those living beings really would not mind teaching Zhou Tian a lesson if the opportunity arose.

Thus, completely unanticipated by those living beings that Zhou Tian would react in such a manner, at that time, they were also not too cautious about the threat coming from Zhou Tian. And under that circumstance, when those living beings let down their guard and were waiting for instructions from behind, Zhou Tian suddenly attacked, immediately achieving a striking effect.

"Attack!"

Following Zhou Tian’s command, he who had been hiding in that area suddenly led his clones to charge outward, and just before Zhou Tian leaped out, those nearby living beings were unprepared. Consequently, relying on Zhou Tian’s strength, before those living beings could react, Zhou Tian and his clones had already reached their front.

"Not good!"

Originally unprepared, but since those living beings generally possessed a certain cultivation level, even though they were unprepared, when Zhou Tian had already appeared in front of them, those living beings definitely could not possibly be unaware of Zhou Tian’s footprints at that point.

However, although those living beings were not about to let Zhou Tian obliterate them all in one charge, they were only acting quickly enough to send a signal, then Zhou Tian and his clones’ attack overwhelmed them.

In front of absolute power, just as in the previous surprise attack, where those living beings’ strength was far inferior to Zhou Tian’s, as long as they exhibited a slight negligence, Zhou Tian could seize the opportunity to kill his targeted enemies. Even if those living beings had a certain ability to resist, the likelihood of them blocking Zhou Tian’s attack was not great.

At least both times Zhou Tian’s surprise attack actions yielded quite satisfactory results. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The first time, he eradicated a subdivision of the enemy’s troops and the second time similarly, he eradicated another of their base’s troops. Although both attacks did not impact the overall strength of the opponents, such actions by Zhou Tian would accumulate to produce a significantly startling effect over time.

After all, those living beings Zhou Tian faced were not mere objects; they had their own thoughts. On the Ancient Battlefield of the Mortal World, a minor catalyst could potentially lead to a great defeat. Although it was unlikely those living beings would directly rout because of some psychological reasons, the impact caused by Zhou Tian’s actions could indeed suffice to shake the morale of that group of creatures.

Originally, it was exactly because they feared Zhou Tian’s surprise attacks that those living beings had refused the command from above to divide their forces. But now, in their refusal to divide forces and merely wanting to trap Zhou Tian in place, they did not expect Zhou Tian to still be capable of launching surprise attacks, and that another group of their companions had died at Zhou Tian’s hands today, one couldn’t say those creatures weren’t nervous.

Today, Zhou Tian could launch a surprise attack on parts of their already deceased members when they were not paying attention; in the future, if Zhou Tian was willing, he could similarly attack them. And considering the average strength of that group, as some of their members had died at Zhou Tian’s hands, other members of the group should not expect to be able to withstand Zhou Tian’s attacks when the time comes.
