Chapter 1637: Chapter 587
Second ambush!
Under normal circumstances, hardly anyone would anticipate such a scenario, let alone Zhou Tian, who was also using his Cloning Ability at the time. To the Ancient Powerful Beings, the ’Zhou Tian’ who first probed their Trap was indistinguishable from the original, and when it seemed Zhou Tian himself had been killed by the Trap, many of the Ancient Powerful Beings believed their goal had been achieved. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Given the situation back then, Zhou Tian launching a second sudden attack could very well have been successful if it weren’t for the presence of some vigilant Ancient Powerful Beings. Their caution meant Zhou Tian had a very high chance of failing to meet his goal.
If Zhou Tian had truly managed to get close to the divine artifact, with his ability, he had a greater than fifty percent chance of snatching it away. And with Zhou Tian’s strength, possessing the divine artifact would have posed a significant Threat to those Ancient Powerful Beings.
Should things really have progressed to that point, it’s not to say Zhou Tian would definitely Win by Killing all the Ancient Powerful Beings. But if at that time Zhou Tian chose to Flee, the Ancient Powerful Beings would likely have had no way to stop him.
As long as Zhou Tian could seize the divine artifact, even if he lacked the power to finish off those Ancient Powerful Beings, it could still be considered that he won in the end. That’s because Zhou Tian’s goal was to enhance his own strength; Killing the Ancient Powerful Beings was not important in itself.
Unfortunately, just when Zhou Tian was about to succeed and steal the divine artifact, the alertness of some Ancient Powerful Beings cost him that Opportunity.
"Don’t even think about it!"
Although Zhou Tian was certainly much stronger than those Ancient Powerful Beings in terms of strength, and even if many Members joined forces against him, they could only force him to retreat. Any single member who faced Zhou Tian directly would likely be doomed.
However, in the situation at that time, there was no need for the Ancient Powerful Beings to engage in Combat with Zhou Tian. In fact, they only had to stall Zhou Tian for a moment to achieve their purpose.
After all, while Zhou Tian’s individual strength was formidable, he did not yet have the Ability to confront those Ancient Powerful Beings head-on. Otherwise, he would have gone straight for the divine artifact from the start instead of resorting to these Tactics.
Zhou Tian would not and did not engage in a Hard Fight with the Ancient Powerful Beings. If he had managed to succeed in his objective, he would have charged into the Position of the divine artifact. Before the Ancient Powerful Beings could Respond, he would have taken the divine artifact and fled, ultimately foiling their plan.
Given the situation at the time, if Zhou Tian’s Actions had been just a bit slower and the Ancient Powerful Beings had reacted, with their preparations, Zhou Tian would have had great difficulty even protecting himself, let alone forcibly taking the divine artifact from them. It’s highly likely he wouldn’t have succeeded.
Som as it happened, when some of the Ancient Powerful Beings blocked Zhou Tian, they had already sufficiently thwarted his surprise attack.
Considering the situation at that moment, after being obstructed by the Ancient Powerful Beings and seeing no Chance of success, Zhou Tian did not hesitate for too long. Almost immediately after pausing, he made the Decision to turn around and Flee.
Zhou Tian was well aware that at this moment, he did not have the Ability to take on so many Ancient Powerful Beings. Thus, after his Action hit an impediment, it was a wise and obvious choice for him to retreat.
However, although Zhou Tian chose to retreat at that time, this did not mean that the group of Ancient Powerful Beings would simply let him go peacefully.
Having devised this plan and set up such a large-scale Trap, the Ancient Powerful Beings surely did it with the goal of Killing the formidable foe that is Zhou Tian. Under these circumstances, after they had finally lured Zhou Tian into their Trap, they would by no means just let him escape.
Although according to the plan of the Ancient Powerful Beings, they wanted to lure Zhou Tian with the divine artifact to trap him in this space. In a scenario where Zhou Tian couldn’t flee, they would then have been able to Kill him.
But plans are always just plans. Their plan anticipated Zhou Tian’s Response, but no one could Guarantee that, after seeing the Danger of their Trap, Zhou Tian would not decide to flee.
Given the current situation, the plan of the Ancient Powerful Beings had already come this far, and they would not just stand by and watch Zhou Tian escape. frёeωebɳovel.com
Who knows if Zhou Tian would still proceed to seize the divine artifact according to their plan if allowed to escape. And if Zhou Tian no longer falls for it, their plan would lose its purpose and, should the Ancient Powerful Beings wish to Kill Zhou Tian again, they would need to figure out what Method might possibly work.
