Chapter 1643: Chapter 588_3
"Stop him!"
Though momentarily careless, allowing Zhou Tian to be severely injured, the group of Ancient Powerful Beings at that time still clearly understood the consequences of Zhou Tian forcibly seizing the divine artifact. Thus, as soon as they noticed Zhou Tian’s actions, those Ancient Powerful Beings almost simultaneously issued warnings, hoping that their companions, unaffected by the explosion, could block Zhou Tian in time and protect the divine artifact.
Unfortunately...
While the idea was good, Zhou Tian had already resorted to using Crystal Bombs at that time, making it somewhat difficult for those Ancient Powerful Beings to stop him by any means.
Therefore, when those Ancient Powerful Beings thought of stopping Zhou Tian, he, without saying another word, immediately threw a dozen more Crystal Bombs at the Blocking Ancient Powerful Beings.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
With the explosion of Crystal Bombs thrown by Zhou Tian, the Ancient Powerful Beings and the traps laid out in front of him were almost all repelled. At that moment, if everything went smoothly, Zhou Tian indeed had the ability to rush forward and snatch the divine artifact directly.
However...
Zhou Tian had a contingency plan, so how could those Ancient Powerful Beings be unprepared? After all, they also knew the harm Zhou Tian could cause by obtaining the divine artifact. Hence, although they had to use the divine artifact as bait for their plan, those Ancient Powerful Beings still could not afford to be without other preparations.
They could not allow Zhou Tian to actually steal the divine artifact, even if it meant letting him go. According to the situation at that time, those Ancient Powerful Beings had already made thorough arrangements near the divine artifact.
Not just a barrier, but several extremely powerful Ancient Powerful Beings were also guarding the divine artifact. With their presence, it became even more difficult for Zhou Tian to succeed in his theft.
The strength of those few Ancient Powerful Beings was, indeed, still not comparable to Zhou Tian. However, compared to other Ancient Powerful Beings, at least they were capable of exchanging several blows with Zhou Tian. With their presence, Zhou Tian would surely have to overcome them first if he were to try anything, as they wouldn’t easily allow him near the divine artifact.
Moreover, the existence of those Ancient Powerful Beings was not solely for intercepting Zhou Tian.
Since the battle had already progressed to this stage, the original plan of those Ancient Powerful Beings no longer mattered much. If Zhou Tian hadn’t approached the divine artifact, it would have been fine, but now that he had, they could no longer leave the divine artifact in its original location.
Fearing that Zhou Tian might seize the artifact, and seeing that with his strength he was about to reach it, the guardians did not hesitate to take the divine artifact away.
Even if it meant letting Zhou Tian escape, they could not allow him to take the divine artifact. It was with such a mindset that they had planned accordingly. Thus, even if they were using the divine artifact as bait, they had never really considered the risk of enticing Zhou Tian to steal it all along.
Thereby, although the guardians of the artifact were powerful, the plan they had negotiated for action was clear: if Zhou Tian approached the divine artifact, they would have to make him realize that a successful theft was hopeless and force him to withdraw, but absolutely cannot let Zhou Tian harbor any hope of actually stealing it. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
According to their deployment, the duty of one Ancient Powerful Being was to take away the artifact if Zhou Tian approached, while the others were tasked with preventing Zhou Tian from getting closer.
Undoubtedly, given the arrangements of those Ancient Powerful Beings, it would be exceedingly difficult for Zhou Tian to steal the artifact from them. Under normal circumstances, Zhou Tian would clearly have no chance at all.
At that time, it was indeed extremely difficult for Zhou Tian to obtain the divine artifact. Not to mention that there were Ancient Powerful Beings already escaping with it, but also considering the strong abilities of each of those Ancient Powerful Beings who came to intercept him, defeating them would not be an easy task from any perspective.
Thus, based solely on the situation at hand, it seemed that Zhou Tian’s predicament was still quite dire. If things continued without change, Zhou Tian might indeed be trapped alive in this space by the tactics of his enemies.
Of course, while the enemies’ tactics at that time were commendable, Zhou Tian was certainly not one to simply surrender. No matter how dire his situation was at that moment, as long as there was a slim possibility of achieving his goal, Zhou Tian would by no means give up resistance.
Therefore, upon seeing the actions of those Ancient Powerful Beings, Zhou Tian indeed paused momentarily, but then he quickly made a responsive action.
Indeed, Zhou Tian did not expect those Ancient Powerful Beings to make such arrangements, so even though he had deployed all his Crystal Bombs, under the current circumstances, it was still impossible for him to prevent the enemies from leaving.
