468: A desperate fight

With a plan in mind, Ginas immediately reissued the order, saying, "Jacobs, you only need to hold back this Cosmic Beast and buy time for Ke Ailve."

"Once Ke Ailve reaches the battlefield, he will completely take over this battle."

Ke Ailve?

Jacobs was greatly shaken. He never expected that to deal with a mere Lin Tianwei, the Law Hunting Ground would dispatch a Lord-level powerhouse.

That was Ke Ailve, a Cosmic Beast with Lord-level Stage 3 strength. For him to make a move just for an Immortal-level Cosmic Beast was truly a bit unchivalrous.

However, Jacobs had to admit that Ginas's arrangement was very reliable and very reasonable.

Although six against one, they could definitely defeat this infinitely potential Cosmic Beast in front of them, but that would be in a life-and-death struggle.

If they wanted to capture a live one completely unharmed, they would only be unilaterally massacred by Lin Tianwei.

Only a higher-level Cosmic Beast like Ke Ailve would be able to capture Lin Tianwei alive and unharmed.

Thinking this, Jacobs immediately changed his battle plan, saying, "Redeploy the battle plan."

"Everyone doesn't need to fight this Cosmic Beast to the death; you only need to trap him in this space."

"At that time, a more powerful existence will naturally capture him."

However, this meant that they would completely lose the primary credit for this hunting operation, and the idea of regaining freedom had completely become a luxury.

Yet, Jacobs was helpless. In a situation where they were the fish and others the butcher, they had very few choices.

Disobey Ginas's order? That would truly be an act of seeking death.

Thinking this, the six Cosmic Beasts that had originally dived towards Lin Tianwei instantly changed their battle plan, no longer specifically attacking Lin Tianwei, but merely observing from the sidelines.

However, their behavior made Lin Tianwei find it extremely amusing, to the point of absurdity.

If this hunting team in front of him had swarmed him, directly displaying all their strength and fighting him to the death, they might have had a sliver of hope.

But by dispersing their strength and surrounding him without killing, what difference was there between that and seeking death?

A dangerous glint flashed in his eyes. Lin Tianwei's originally not-so-fast body suddenly accelerated, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of one of the Immortal-level Stage 5 Cosmic Beasts.

Although the space in this area had been completely sealed, Lin Tianwei's speed allowed him to move as if teleporting.

Of course, it was always best to pick on the weak.

Lin Tianwei's primary target was naturally the weakest of these six Cosmic Beasts.

Without giving the opponent time to react, Lin Tianwei's body, like a giant Claws, immediately pierced through the body of this Cosmic Beast.

The terrifying Power of Destruction erupted, instantly igniting his body completely, turning him into a ball of black fire burning fiercely.

No one expected Lin Tianwei's attack to come so quickly, so fiercely.

Even the Cosmic Beast, already completely engulfed by the Flames of Destruction, only belatedly let out a scream.

He hadn't even realized Lin Tianwei's arrival.

After doing all this, Lin Tianwei not only did not retreat but continued to launch attacks on the other Cosmic Beasts.

His figure flashed, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the Immortal-level Stage 6 Cosmic Beast.

After all, the scream of the previous Cosmic Beast had served as a warning, making him more vigilant than before.

Lin Tianwei's Claws merely grazed his body, causing him no harm.

Even so, the terrifying gale severely injured his body, and his once beautiful fur looked miserable, as if plowed by a bulldozer.

Dangerous, extremely dangerous.

In just two instants, one of his teammates was severely injured, and another was barely scratched.

If they allowed the opponent to continue like this, let alone achieving victory or delaying time, even their lives would be completely lost.

Jacobs finally realized what a terrible mistake he had made; he had chosen to divide his forces when his strength was already far weaker than his opponent's.

This was no different from sending them to their deaths.

"Everyone, quickly gather around me and fight the enemy together."

At this moment, Jacobs finally issued the correct order.

As for the Cosmic Beast already completely engulfed by the Flames of Destruction, he had no intention of dealing with it.

At such a time, a severely injured Cosmic Beast joining his team would only hinder him everywhere, allowing this terrifying Cosmic Beast to quickly break through their defenses.

In this way, it was better to directly abandon his teammate to preserve the maximum strength of the entire hunting team.

Looking at the already gathered team, Lin Tianwei sneered and said,

"Since this Cosmic Beast has been abandoned by you, then I don't mind reclaiming him as my pre-dinner dessert."

Since the opponent wasn't polite with Lin Tianwei, how could Lin Tianwei be polite with him?

Under the blessing of countless Talents, Lin Tianwei's Body of Talents was like the most excellent fighting machine, moving as if in his element in space, reaching any desired area in an instant.

The Flames of Destruction were good in every way, and their lethality was off the charts.

There was just one very bad thing: it would completely burn the enemy's body to ashes.

For Lin Tianwei, who cherished food immensely, this was simply a waste of natural resources.

So, with the idea of saving food, before the Flames of Destruction could completely incinerate this Cosmic Beast into ashes, Lin Tianwei directly swallowed him whole.

Crunchy, it was a rare delicacy.

After dealing with the first enemy, Lin Tianwei turned his gaze to the remaining five enemies.

His eyes were calm, yet they made these five Immortal-level Cosmic Beasts feel a chill run down their spines.

If they continued to stay here, they would definitely die—this was the warning from their instincts!

However, compared to concentrating their forces, scattering and fleeing would lead to an even more certain death without burial, and the Cosmic Beast already devoured by Lin Tianwei was the best proof.

So even if their instincts screamed danger, they could only huddle together for warmth.

Facing the five Cosmic Beasts, united against him and forming a tight defensive formation, Lin Tianwei showed no fear and even chose to attack proactively.

He certainly wouldn't think these Cosmic Beasts were fools, staying here to play hide-and-seek with him instead of fleeing.

The reason they were circling him here instead of choosing to escape was that they had a trump card, a trump card they believed could utterly destroy Lin Tianwei.

To weaken the opponent's effective strength, Lin Tianwei had to eliminate these five Cosmic Beasts as much as possible before the opponent's trump card arrived.

No sooner said than done.

Just as Lin Tianwei launched another attack on Jacobs and the other Cosmic Beasts, the already brilliant Beast King Domain became even more dazzling.

What followed was an even more terrifying Domain Power, a Domain Power strong enough to completely suppress Jacobs and the other Cosmic Beasts.

Fear began to spread.

Under the influence of the Beast King Domain, they experienced a sensation they had never felt before: the feeling of being prey.

Before they could struggle fiercely or devise a way to counter Lin Tianwei, Lin Tianwei's attack had already arrived silently.

Claws tear!

In just two instants, Lin Tianwei, taking advantage of the enemies being completely stunned by the Beast King Domain, unleashed three thousand claw strikes upon them.

Lin Tianwei's incredibly sharp Claws could easily pierce clouds, split rocks, and cut metal like mud.

Even with preparations, facing Lin Tianwei's claw strikes, they could only flee in panic, dodging endlessly.

For a time, the hunting team, despite being more numerous, seemed to be getting unilaterally crushed by Lin Tianwei.

Several times, Lin Tianwei's dangerous Claws seemed poised to strike them fatally.

Too much bullying of beasts!

Roar~~~~~

Jacobs finally completely erupted, and the Domain unique to an Immortal-level Stage 9 powerhouse directly burst forth from him.

He actually forcibly created a terrifying space within Lin Tianwei's formidable Domain.

If they continued to dodge like this, they would eventually be hit by Lin Tianwei's deadly Claws and suffer severe injuries.

For his own life, Jacobs had already cast Ginas's orders aside.

He had only one thought in his mind: to kill this terrifying Cosmic Beast in front of him and secure his own survival.

Roar~~~~~

Another Cosmic Beast let out an angry roar. It was a Cosmic Beast, like Jacobs, also possessing Immortal-level Stage 9 strength.

Pushed to the brink, they finally chose to fight to the death.

Roar~~

Roar~~

Roar~~

The five powerful Immortal-level Cosmic Beasts fully unleashed their aura. With the boost from their roars, they even subtly showed a tendency to overshadow Lin Tianwei's Beast King Domain.

Facing such a situation, Ginas cautiously estimated the distance of Ke Ailve from Lin Tianwei's location.

Upon concluding that Ke Ailve would still need at least half an hour to arrive, he ultimately abandoned the order that Jacobs and the other Cosmic Beasts should not harm Lin Tianwei.

If Jacobs and the other Cosmic Beasts died too quickly, it would be counterproductive, allowing Lin Tianwei to escape directly.

In this case, it was better to let them go all out, which could also serve to delay Lin Tianwei until Ke Ailve's arrival.

Once their strategy shifted, completely moving from defense to offense, the hunting team changed from passive to active.

Facing Lin Tianwei's claw strikes, they chose to ignore them and directly attacked Lin Tianwei.

Offense was the best defense in their eyes.

After all, Lin Tianwei was only one Cosmic Beast. Once he revealed a weakness, he would be besieged by at least four Cosmic Beasts, gaining no advantage whatsoever in a trade-for-damage fighting style.

However, this was their most naive idea.

Trade for damage? Lin Tianwei wanted to see who would be the first to be unable to bear the injuries.

Two Claws simultaneously pierced through the enemy's body, and even more Claws launched attacks towards Lin Tianwei's body.

In an instant, several transparent gaping holes appeared on Lin Tianwei's body.

However, just as Jacobs thought he had succeeded and was about to win, he found that the wounds on Lin Tianwei's body began to heal rapidly.

In less than an instant, he had completely healed as before.

This was the terrifying aspect of the Body of Talents; it was not a physical entity in the simple sense, but rather closer to the Legendary Energy Body.

Such ordinary physical damage held no meaning for Lin Tianwei. Unless his energy could be completely drained, he could recover in an instant.

However, the Cosmic Beast hit by Lin Tianwei's Claws was in a terrible state.

This time, Lin Tianwei had added something extra to his claw strike.

The terrifying Destruction Domain, unbeknownst to all other Cosmic Beasts, had enchanted Lin Tianwei's Claws, making his already terrifying Claws even more formidable.

Not only could it easily pierce through the enemy's body, but the attached Destruction Domain could even obliterate the opponent's vitality.

With the blessing of the Destruction Domain, Lin Tianwei's single strike had already severely wounded a powerful Immortal-level Cosmic Beast.

If he couldn't resolve the Destruction Domain attached to his body soon, his fate would be to have all his vitality completely stripped away by the Destruction Domain, leading to complete death.

The opponent's attack, if not instantly fatal, was at least severely wounding.

In contrast, their own attacks, when hitting the opponent, were painless and ineffective, causing no damage at all.

Jacobs instantly despaired. How could they fight in such a situation? This was simply a unilateral massacre.

Although his body was still contending with Lin Tianwei, Jacobs's eyes had already subtly begun to survey the surrounding environment.

He had actually already planned to escape.

Although he still wore an extremely dangerous collar, Jacobs had a way to temporarily suppress it, and death was something for later.

However, in his opinion, fighting Lin Tianwei was almost a dead end, with no chance of victory at all.

Thinking this, Jacobs shouted, "I believe you have all understood the enemy's ferocity."

"If we don't fight to the death now, only death awaits us."

"Hesitation only leads to defeat; a desperate fight is our last chance for survival."

"Even if we severely wound the enemy, but considering that we can capture him, I believe Ginas will not do anything to us."

After delivering his final morale boost, Jacobs, taking advantage of all the Cosmic Beasts erupting their Domains, also erupted his own Domain.

However, unlike the other four Cosmic Beasts who were united against the external threat, Jacobs's Domain was used for escape.

Carried by his Domain, Jacobs burst out with the fastest speed of his life, turning into a stream of light and fleeing into the distance.

At the same time, a special piece of metal was pulled out by Jacobs and attached to the collar.

Although this piece of metal was incredibly tiny, not at all proportionate to the massive collar, it seemed to have an innate suppressing ability over mechanical devices, instantly suppressing all functions of the collar, rendering it inoperable.

As for whether to risk removing the collar next, that would depend on the subsequent development of events.

However, just as Jacobs sacrificed four teammates, leaving Lin Tianwei far behind, and believing he could escape, a massive shadow enveloped his entire body.

A terrifying force erupted, and Jacobs was directly suppressed, unable to move an inch. (End of Chapter)
