Chapter 3211: Chapter 1085: Collapse of the Defenses

Even if it is true that those Heavenly Eye Users with dissent could be dealt with easily, given the identity and strength of the Heavenly Eye Users, dealing with so many of them was not an easy task. If they really intended to do so, they needed to be mentally prepared for losing significant strength and be ready to face a counterattack from those Heavenly Eye Users.

Undoubtedly, the situation at that time did not allow for internal strife within the factions. Even if they knew those dissenting Heavenly Eye Users were a source of disaster, they could only pretend to be oblivious at the time.

It can be said with certainty that as events evolved to that situation, Zhou Tian’s battle could basically be said to be a victory. At a time when issues had already arisen within the internal ranks of those Heavenly Eye Users, Zhou Tian could have achieved victory in a short time by simply waiting for the other party’s internal conflict to erupt, even without taking any further actions.

Of course, judging from Zhou Tian’s series of actions, it is clear that even though he could have withdrawn at that moment and waited for victory to come, he was not prepared to do so just to save some time.

Zhou Tian would not hesitate to act; he did not have that much time to waste. If he could end everything in a short time, there was no need for him to wait.

Moreover, allowing the Heavenly Eye Users to engage in internal strife at that time indeed made it much easier for Zhou Tian to win. But if he really planned to do so, he would have to prepare to accept that more than half of the Heavenly Eye Users would be lost, and undoubtedly, given the purpose of Zhou Tian initiating this war, he certainly did not want that to happen.

So naturally, Zhou Tian did not stop his actions at that time. Even though he had basically won, he continued to take action.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Surrender and live!"

"..."

Although Zhou Tian did not intend to kill those Heavenly Eye Users with his strength due to the reason of initiating this war, which was to avoid excessive deaths and injuries, he did not simply do nothing.

For example, given the situation at the time, Zhou Tian had already successfully instilled fear in many Heavenly Eye Users. Under those circumstances, if Zhou Tian could increase his influence and make those Heavenly Eye Users completely give up the idea of fighting him, then Zhou Tian might not need to do anything further, as those Heavenly Eye Users would voluntarily surrender.

Undoubtedly, for Zhou Tian, if he could directly make those Heavenly Eye Users surrender voluntarily, it would be the best outcome. To achieve that purpose, it was necessary for Zhou Tian to continue exerting pressure on those Heavenly Eye Users with his strength.

And the means Zhou Tian used to exert pressure at the time were quite simple; he directly targeted their defense line.

At that time, the reason those Heavenly Eye Users were unwilling to surrender was largely because those in high positions among them were unwilling to let go of their power. Additionally, the defense line was a reason they were still thinking about resisting. After all, as long as that defense line existed, it not only provided great help during defense but also, psychologically, as long as the defense line was not broken, those Heavenly Eye Users would not consider themselves defeated.

Thus, in order to directly force those Heavenly Eye Users to surrender, when Zhou Tian decided to take action personally, he focused on the defense line. Zhou Tian believed that if he could attack and break that defense line organized by the Heavenly Eye Users with his strength, even if he did not kill any Heavenly Eye Users, it would be enough to force them to make a choice.

Life or continue to hold on!

It is believed that, no matter how confident those Heavenly Eye Users were, once Zhou Tian broke through the defense line they had established, they would no longer think they could withstand Zhou Tian’s attack. Thus, by forcing those Heavenly Eye Users into the ultimate predicament, Zhou Tian could anticipate their response.

The outcome was naturally without any unexpected developments.

With Zhou Tian’s strength, the Heavenly Eye Users were completely no match for him, and the so-called defense line they had organized did not pose any serious threat to Zhou Tian. If it were not for Zhou Tian worrying that some of them might have Heavenly Eye abilities that could threaten him, he might not have had any problem in taking down all the Heavenly Eye Users in that area by himself.

And with Zhou Tian’s strength, as he focused his attention on the defense line and launched continuous attacks on it, even without using his full strength, the defense line could not withstand his assault and was eventually broken.

When Zhou Tian decisively broke the defense line organized by the Heavenly Eye Users, it was a complete disaster for them. Already, because of Zhou Tian’s performance, most of the Heavenly Eye Users had lost the courage to resist, and when Zhou Tian took away their final reliance, those Heavenly Eye Users, having lost all ability to resist, found it difficult to muster the courage to continue fighting Zhou Tian.

"We admit defeat!"

Ultimately, even though those high-ranking Heavenly Eye Users did not want to relinquish their power, in the absence of the ability to resist and in a situation where Zhou Tian could eliminate them at any time, no matter how reluctant they were to let go of their power, they had to concede.

Or it could be said that at that time, those Heavenly Eye Users simply had no other choice.

Zhou Tian had said that surrender meant exempt from death. If they surrendered directly at that moment, according to Zhou Tian’s words, he naturally could not do anything to them.

But the issue at that moment was that although Zhou Tian had said those words, no one knew if he would keep his word. If he did not, even after their surrender, there was little the Heavenly Eye Users could do to Zhou Tian. Even if Zhou Tian was true to his word and spared the ordinary Heavenly Eye Users, he had no reason to spare those in high positions, according to usual practice.

No matter how strong Zhou Tian was, as long as they held a sliver of resistance, those high-ranking Heavenly Eye Users would never willingly choose to surrender.

Unfortunately, although Zhou Tian did not use his strong abilities against them, allowing them to retain a large amount of their combat power, after Zhou Tian’s series of performances, 99% of the Heavenly Eye Users within those factions had lost the courage to continue fighting Zhou Tian.

Thus, when most of the Heavenly Eye Users within those factions had essentially lost the will to fight, even if the high-level authorities were worried about Zhou Tian settling scores with them later, without the support of their subordinates, they had no power left to change the outcome of Zhou Tian taking over their factions.

So then, in that environment at that time, did those high-ranking officials of the various factions have any other choice?

Given the situation at that time, if those high-level authorities of the factions truly refused to surrender to their deaths, it is estimated that they need not wait for Zhou Tian to do anything further, as those Heavenly Eye Users eager to surrender would have tied up their leaders and presented them to him as captives.

Thus, in the face of a situation where those Heavenly Eye Users truly had no means to resist any longer, rather than engaging in actions destined to yield no good outcomes, they were better off surrendering honestly to Zhou Tian. After all, although they did not understand all of Zhou Tian’s previous actions, it was clear that Zhou Tian did not seem to be a bloodthirsty person judging by his past behavior, and thus by voluntarily surrendering, they might still have a chance to survive. If they continued to resist and actually provoked Zhou Tian’s wrath, considering his previous performances, none of those Heavenly Eye Users felt they had the courage to fight against him.
