As soon as Zhou Tian saw the tactics of that formidable opponent, he immediately prepared to evade, because the opponent's displayed strength was overwhelmingly powerful at the time. If they were in single combat or if Zhou Tian were in good condition, he wouldn't have minded testing the intensity of their attack. However, given Zhou Tian's condition at the time, unless necessary, he certainly wouldn't have wanted to add new injuries to himself.
However, when facing the attack of that formidable opponent, Zhou Tian did want to dodge, but the enemies nearby seemed not to give him any opportunity to do so.
