So, when fighting enemies like Zhou Tian, Pan Shi would generally try to avoid a head-on fight under normal circumstances. If he wanted to win, the best method would be to maintain a distance between the two of them, and attack Zhou Tian as much as possible without letting Zhou Tian harm him. Only in that situation could Pan Shi guarantee that after the combat with Zhou Tian ended, even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t lose his life at the hands of Zhou Tian.

Now, because he had become accustomed to Zhou Tian’s habit of fleeing upon encountering him, he took action against Zhou Tian without any guard. As a result, because he was unguarded, when he attacked Zhou Tian, he suddenly realized that Zhou Tian had not chosen to dodge at that moment.

Because he hadn’t anticipated Zhou Tian’s response, ultimately Zhou Tian collided with Pan Shi in a clash. In that clash, both Zhou Tian and Pan Shi managed to injure their opponent.

Even though Zhou Tian’s cultivation level under the time rule had increased considerably by now, since the time rule wasn’t adept at causing destruction, even though his strength had increased slightly, the damage Zhou Tian inflicted on Pan Shi wasn’t very significant—purely speaking from the injuries at the time, Zhou Tian’s injuries were much more severe than Pan Shi’s.

However, even though the results of the clash seemed unfavorable to Zhou Tian, at that moment, he still showed a hint of excitement.

To Zhou Tian, as long as he could injure Pan Shi, that was enough. As for the injuries brought by Pan Shi, Zhou Tian didn’t used to care much before, and now, he cared even less about the minor injuries caused by Pan Shi.

It could almost be called an instantaneous attack. Just when Pan Shi’s attack had inflicted a notable injury on Zhou Tian, the operation of Zhou Tian’s time rule instantly healed the injuries on his body at that moment. And merely by Zhou Tian’s performance at that moment, it represented that his cultivation under the time rule was no less than Pan Shi’s. This was because, at this moment, when Zhou Tian used his time ability, he was completely unimpeded by Pan Shi.

When Zhou Tian was no longer affected by the opponent’s rule, with Zhou Tian’s capabilities, he didn’t need to fear the opponent’s attack anymore. Preserving his life with an immortal body, he then immediately used his time ability to heal his injuries. Considering Zhou Tian’s combination of abilities, it’s likely that anyone encountering him would have a headache!

Even when Pan Shi had an advantage over Zhou Tian in strength before, what he could do was utilize the rules of this world to weaken Zhou Tian’s strength, and only attack him when Zhou Tian’s strength was sufficiently weakened. When Zhou Tian’s strength was not much affected, even if Pan Shi had an upper hand in strength temporarily, he didn’t think he could defeat Zhou Tian.

Nowadays, Zhou Tian’s inherently baffling ability, with the growth of his cultivation level, had become even more potent. At this moment, Pan Shi was no longer even thinking about killing Zhou Tian; he would indeed be fortunate if Zhou Tian didn’t kill him.

Clearly, after that initial clash, Pan Shi had realized a great change in Zhou Tian’s strength. Although at this moment, Pan Shi didn’t clearly understand by what means Zhou Tian had so greatly enhanced his own power, based on the situation at that time, Pan Shi was quite aware that if he did nothing then, it was certain that Zhou Tian might keep him there.

Even now, following the end of that clash, Pan Shi inevitably suffered some impact.

Although Zhou Tian was injured more severely than Pan Shi, owing to his powerful recovery ability, he had recovered almost instantly upon being injured. At this time, whether Zhou Tian was injured wasn’t obvious anymore, so naturally, the impact of Pan Shi’s attack on Zhou Tian could be neglected.

Conversely, while Zhou Tian wasn’t significantly affected by Pan Shi’s attack, after being injured, Pan Shi couldn’t avoid being impacted.

No matter how strong Pan Shi’s power was, he didn’t possess a recovery ability like Zhou Tian’s. After all, Pan Shi was adept in a completely different area from Zhou Tian, and even if the Titan Physique granted Pan Shi a powerful recovery ability, it was still impossible to heal serious injuries in the blink of an eye like Zhou Tian.

And given Pan Shi’s condition, if he were given some time to recuperate, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to recover from the injuries inflicted by Zhou Tian. However, if there was no time to recuperate, then whatever the extent of injury Zhou Tian inflicted on him, Pan Shi might just have to bear those injuries and fight Zhou Tian.

Clearly, Zhou Tian was unlikely to let Pan Shi go now. Thus, at least in this current battle, Pan Shi might just have to fight while injured.

And judging by Zhou Tian’s strength at this time, even if he were in his prime state to fight, Pan Shi’s chances of winning were absolutely not high. In a completely unprepared state after suffering a severe blow, Pan Shi’s situation would naturally become even more difficult.

Being originally not a match, and now having his strength weakened again, based on the situation at that time, Pan Shi’s remaining strength was minimal, and defeat was already certain.

In fact, Pan Shi himself was aware of his current situation, and after realizing his inevitable defeat, his response was quite prompt.

Since he already knew it was impossible to defeat Zhou Tian at this time, rather than forcefully fighting Zhou Tian, in Pan Shi’s view, it might be better to first think of a way to withdraw. Better to save the green hills than to worry about no firewood. If he could successfully escape, at the worst, Pan Shi could also find a way to flee this world. If he didn’t flee now, once he fell into Zhou Tian’s hands, Pan Shi didn’t think Zhou Tian would spare him. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Thus, almost immediately after forming his plan, Pan Shi’s figure moved and he suddenly started to run outside. (To be continued.
