As such, when those living beings directly realized the strength of Zhou Tian through that incident, they naturally developed an increased sense of fear towards him.
If possible, I guess those living beings wouldn't even want to dream about encountering Zhou Tian again! After all, Zhou Tian's strength was simply too overwhelming. Based on his previous performance, they would stand no chance against him unless they were in the main force; otherwise, they wouldn't have any resistance ability and meeting Zhou Tian would only mean admitting their bad luck.
Because they feared Zhou Tian at that time, when they discovered a group of their companions had been killed by Zhou Tian, those living beings immediately became too nervous to lightly split their forces again.
