Chapter 3228: Chapter 1094

If things really came to that point, and Zhou Tian had no choice but to be ruthless to those Heavenly Eye Users, Zhou Tian would certainly not be polite to them when the time came. But for now, at least, the situation hasn’t reached such a level, and Zhou Tian can still handle the threat from those Heavenly Eye Users, so as long as they do not pose a significant threat, Zhou Tian definitely won’t be harsh to them if possible.

The result was like this, because Zhou Tian fundamentally could not bring himself to slaughter the Heavenly Eye Users ruthlessly, at that time, he could only utilize less than thirty percent of his full strength. In that situation, since Zhou Tian couldn’t exert his full strength, how could he take down all the Heavenly Eye Users?

Thus, although Zhou Tian did not let the pursuing Heavenly Eye Users capture him, in reality, when he faced them, he didn’t gain any advantage at that time either.

If it kept dragging on, Zhou Tian wouldn’t suffer much loss anyway, after all, he was alone — if he could take advantage, he would fight them. But once he found out that the Heavenly Eye Users were not easy to deal with and he might suffer losses at their hands, based on his strength, if he wanted to retreat, those Heavenly Eye Users probably wouldn’t have the ability to stop him.

Therefore, from start to finish, Zhou Tian did not fear those Heavenly Eye Users, because his strength was much greater than an average Heavenly Eye User. As long as he had the confidence to retreat safely, what those Heavenly Eye Users were thinking or planning at the time didn’t really matter, as long as he didn’t encounter an accident, there would be no way for the Heavenly Eye Users to pose a threat to him.

However, it was evident that Zhou Tian was not content with mere self-preservation. For him, the ultimate goal of confronting the Heavenly Eye Users this time was to take over the castle and subdue the living beings within it. With Zhou Tian’s goal in mind, what was the point of self-preservation at that moment? If he couldn’t defeat the Heavenly Eye Users, realizing his idea of taking over the castle would certainly not be possible.

Thus, given the situation at the time, since Zhou Tian still wanted to take over the castle, he also couldn’t just stalemate with the Heavenly Eye Users. As a result, based on that situation, after some consideration, Zhou Tian decided to take new actions.

"Let’s go for it."

Since the stalemate was not what Zhou Tian wanted to see, he had to break the deadlock. And it was clear that the Heavenly Eye Users wouldn’t take any other actions, so Zhou Tian could only rely on his own strength to achieve his goal.

The high casualties among the Heavenly Eye Users were indeed a result Zhou Tian did not want to see. It was precisely because Zhou Tian didn’t want to see that situation occur that he held back while confronting the Heavenly Eye Users, thus dragging things out without a resolution, even when he originally could have easily handled the situation.

However, although Zhou Tian really didn’t want to see a large number of Heavenly Eye Users dead or injured at the time, compared to his ultimate goal, even if the result was something Zhou Tian didn’t want to see, given a choice, he wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate some Heavenly Eye Users to achieve his goal of taking over the castle.

If he could take over the castle, no matter the losses caused to it at the time, everything left would still belong to Zhou Tian. Conversely, if Zhou Tian continued being indecisive and refused to take action against the Heavenly Eye Users, he would surely find that conquering the castle wouldn’t be easy.

And if Zhou Tian couldn’t achieve his goal to take over the castle, no matter how well he protected it, and no matter how strong the castle’s Strength was, it would still belong to the Heavenly Eye Users. So, compared to not gaining any Benefit at all, Zhou Tian was prepared to accept consuming some of the castle’s Strength to achieve his goal.

Thus, given the situation at the time, since Zhou Tian had that kind of thought in his mind, he naturally had to take direct action at that moment.

"Surrender, and I will spare you!"

With his Decision made, Zhou Tian’s Actions immediately changed.

Initially, because he didn’t want to kill too many Heavenly Eye Users, even though he had the strength to deal with them, whenever he faced those Heavenly Eye Users, Zhou Tian mostly opted to retreat. Although this prevented large casualties among the Heavenly Eye Users, it also stopped any progress in Zhou Tian’s plan to take over the castle. It was precisely because of Zhou Tian’s series of Actions at the time that the Heavenly Eye Users severely underestimated his power, viewing him as someone without the Ability to confront them directly.

As a result, the more Zhou Tian couldn’t bring himself to take action against the Heavenly Eye Users, the more they disregarded him. In that situation where there was no deterrent effect on them, conquering the castle was evidently an impossible task for Zhou Tian.
