Since at that time those Deities had failed to counter his attacks, Zhou Tian decided to let them have a taste of his own assault. As a result, given the circumstances, while those Deities were still bewildered by their unsuccessful attack, Zhou Tian managed to dodge most of the attacks and seized an opportunity to strike at one of the Deities by enduring some minor injuries.
Faced with the situation back then, surrounded by so many Deities, none of them believed Zhou Tian still had the Ability to resist. Hence, seeing him surrounded, even though they hadn't captured him yet, those Deities started to relax a bit.
However, because they didn't see Zhou Tian as a Threat, even though they sensed that his Sword was not simple, when faced with Zhou Tian's attack, that Deity did not make many preparations, only relying on his Response Ability to position his Weapon against Zhou Tian's attack, taking no further actions.
