Chapter 3183: Chapter 1071_2

Undoubtedly, those Heavenly Eye Users who were hit by Zhou Tian at that time were doomed. And because of Zhou Tian’s performance, it also scared the other Heavenly Eye Users quite a bit. After all, Zhou Tian’s performance at that time was still quite strong; facing Zhou Tian’s attack, even those Heavenly Eye Users with considerable strength no longer had the confidence to fend off such an attack.

So, if they couldn’t restrain or eliminate Zhou Tian at that time, when Zhou Tian launched attacks relying on such power, honestly speaking, none of those Heavenly Eye Users truly had the confidence to withstand Zhou Tian’s attacks.

In a typical situation, upon discovering Zhou Tian’s terrifying attack power, it’s likely that more than eight out of ten Heavenly Eye Users would choose to flee. After all, Zhou Tian had already demonstrated the ability to threaten their lives. In a situation where they could avoid fighting to the death with Zhou Tian, how could those Heavenly Eye Users possibly gamble with their lives?

But clearly, the high levels of that power had long issued the relevant orders early on. Regardless of how they managed it, when those Heavenly Eye Users faced Zhou Tian, even if Zhou Tian’s strength was exceptionally strong, they still chose not to retreat.

Of course, not retreating does not mean that those Heavenly Eye Users weren’t afraid, given Zhou Tian’s performance was right there in front of them. Based on the strength Zhou Tian demonstrated at the time, it truly could be said that anyone he set his sights on would lose their life. Not knowing who Zhou Tian’s next attack would target, although those Heavenly Eye Users did not disperse directly, they could not help but retreat to slightly less conspicuous positions nearby out of fear.

To those Heavenly Eye Users, their actions at the time were merely a reflexive response. After all, Zhou Tian’s performance scared them, and not knowing if Zhou Tian would target them next, they certainly hoped to achieve psychological safety through the surrounding terrain when facing Zhou Tian’s threat.

But while all those Heavenly Eye Users were simultaneously reacting in that manner, Zhou Tian, although not intentionally doing anything, was still sufficient to cause a moderate impact on the battle situation. ℯ

Almost all Heavenly Eye Users opted to partially hide, believing themselves to be safe while consequently dispersing their encirclement completely. Given the situation at the time, if Zhou Tian no longer wished to fight them and chose to leave instead, it’s likely that those Heavenly Eye Users would not be able to stop him.

However, whether good or bad news for those Heavenly Eye Users, Zhou Tian showed no intention of leaving at the time. Thus, in a situation where Zhou Tian did not intend to retreat, even though their encirclement was gone, they didn’t have to worry too much about Zhou Tian disappearing.

Of course, Zhou Tian not intending to leave was good news for some Heavenly Eye Users but certainly not for others who came to deal with him. Because Zhou Tian’s strength was extremely formidable, based on his performance at the time, if Zhou Tian continued attacking them, those Heavenly Eye Users didn’t know when Zhou Tian’s attacks would target them.

Therefore...

"Boom boom boom!"

Since retreat wasn’t possible, under Zhou Tian’s threat, those Heavenly Eye Users would desperately launch attacks on Zhou Tian. Yet, amidst their continuous attacks, Zhou Tian was not idle either; he too kept counterattacking those Heavenly Eye Users at that time.

However, even though their attacks continuously landed on Zhou Tian, the damage they caused was not significant. Conversely, Zhou Tian, even with a casual attack, once it landed, would practically ensure the targeted Heavenly Eye Users had no chance of survival.

Thus, although from the surface it appeared Zhou Tian was on the losing side, given the sheer number of his enemies and the fact that many Heavenly Eye Users were attacking him simultaneously, the reality is that outsiders would think Zhou Tian must be the one on the losing side.

But in reality, Zhou Tian was actually the one holding the upper hand. Although the Heavenly Eye Users indeed caused Zhou Tian some damage, as the battle progressed and more Heavenly Eye Users were eliminated by Zhou Tian, the intensity of the attacks he faced would inevitably weaken.

As a result, with the attack intensity weakening at that time, the threat Zhou Tian faced inevitably diminished.

Given the circumstances if there wasn’t a need, Zhou Tian didn’t need to make any more changes; just continuing to attack those Heavenly Eye Users according to the battle situation would ultimately ensure he emerged victorious.

However, it was evident that although the orders from above prevented the Heavenly Eye Users from retreating after recognizing Zhou Tian’s strength, upon reaching such a point in the battle where the situation became increasingly unfavorable for them, those Heavenly Eye Users began considering other options.

No matter how severe the orders were, they could not compel the Heavenly Eye Users to abandon their lives. Faced with imminent threats to their survival, even in the presence of formidable threats, those Heavenly Eye Users found it challenging to continue fighting Zhou Tian.

At least at that moment, losing to Zhou Tian wouldn’t result in a punishment that wipes out all their members. But if they continued fighting with Zhou Tian, they were likely to be eliminated by Zhou Tian’s brute force before he fell.

Whether out of fear or some other response, once they witnessed Zhou Tian’s strength and realized that based on Zhou Tian’s performance at that time, they wouldn’t have the opportunity to leave alive, even though they hadn’t considered defeat initially, ultimately, confronted with the threat to their lives, they decided to retreat.

However, those Heavenly Eye Users intended to retreat at that time, but would Zhou Tian let them go?

If possible, Zhou Tian would much rather leave none of those Heavenly Eye Users. After all, he’d already formed a considerable grudges with them, even if he spared them, Zhou Tian couldn’t trust that those Heavenly Eye Users wouldn’t find ways to deal with him in the future.

Thus, given that those Heavenly Eye Users were bound to become his enemy again eventually, if he could eliminate them right now, Zhou Tian saw no reason to release the tiger back to the mountain.

Moreover, the most important aspect was that Zhou Tian was still collecting Heavenly Eyes, aiming to connect his Heavenly Eye with more of the current world’s rules. As per Zhou Tian’s plan, he could spare those same-type Heavenly Eye Users, but he wouldn’t easily let those with differing abilities escape.

Despite the high status of the Heavenly Eye Users in the world at the time, even though Zhou Tian had already demonstrated considerable ability, he was aware that wantonly killing them to collect Heavenly Eyes was impractical. The Heavenly Eye Users held significant positions, even though Zhou Tian exhibited significant strength; once the Heavenly Eye Users realized Zhou Tian was collecting Heavenly Eyes, they wouldn’t stand by and let it happen.
