In the eyes of the Three-headed Divine Beasts, at that moment, continuing as they had been would surely not yield any good outcome. Thus, given that either way the result wouldn't be favorable, it might be better to try a risky method.
As a result, during a fight with Zhou Tian, when Zhou Tian thrust his sword towards the Black Tortoise, the beast did not dodge as it had before. It let Zhou Tian's sword pierce its own body, and, emitting a tragic scream, the other two Divine Beasts, upon hearing the scream of their companion, simultaneously launched an attack on Zhou Tian.
If this had happened a few hundred years earlier, perhaps Zhou Tian would not have been unaffected, but he would have likely recovered quickly. But now, given that his combat consciousness was no longer as sharp as before, seeing the reactions of the Three-headed Divine Beasts and unprepared in his heart, Zhou Tian was indeed caught completely off guard.
