Chapter 267: The Terrifying Six-Tier Beast

Lin Yifan didn't know whether to trust Ai Rui Li Ya's words, but as he had said, there were few options left now, and entering the tower was the Unique choice.

So he took a deep breath and said plainly:

"Then let's go! We'll enter the tower."

A number of people followed behind Lin Yifan; they had clearly decided to follow, so no one voiced any opinion on his decision, and all moved forward together.

Though pressure weighed on Lin Yifan's mind, he had no intention of driving the crowd away.

Simply put, with greater ability comes greater responsibility!

Since he chose to step forward, some accountability must be taken.

Yet as Lin Yifan's party approached the tower gate, a mournful scream suddenly echoed from inside.

Immediately, a strong smell of blood drifted out from the gate.

The few Survivors at the front abruptly halted, their faces turning deathly pale as they retreated.

"Inside... it seems there's something inside!" someone shouted tremblingly.

In the next second, a black silhouette shot out from the gate like lightning, instantly tearing the nearest few people into fragments!

Fresh blood splattered, and broken limbs littered the ground.

The crowd erupted in chaos, screams rose everywhere, and everyone fled wildly.

Lin Yifan's pupils contracted as he stared fixedly at the black silhouette—it was a monster resembling a giant wolf, entirely jet‑black, fangs gleaming white, eyes glowing crimson.

Fresh blood still dripped from its claws, and a low growl rumbled from its throat.

"What is this?" Ruan Qingtan's voice tightened, "Just by looking, it already exerts such Overwhelming Pressure—this is too terrifying."

"It's a Nightmare!" Ai Rui Li Ya, somehow having arrived here as well, gazed cautiously at the wolf standing behind the Tang Sect, her expression solemn as she said:

"This is a Six-Tier Beast, powerful; aside from various war Instances, it exists only in the Beast Forest."

"I didn't expect such a terrifying thing to be inside this tower; you're in danger!"

At that moment, the Nightmare Wolf slowly scanned the crowd, as if selecting its next prey.

Suddenly, its gaze locked onto Lin Yifan, its nostrils flaring as if it sensed something special.

A chill rose in Lin Yifan's heart, and he instinctively tightened his grip on his weapon.

"Everyone retreat, find somewhere to hide, and do not come near this place!" he barked low.

Yet as soon as his words left his mouth, the Nightmare Wolf lunged forward fiercely!

And its target was straight at Lin Yifan!

He felt darkness flash before his eyes, and a foul wind slammed into his face.

He instinctively rolled to the side, barely evading the Nightmare Wolf's claws, but his shoulder was still slashed, leaving a bloodstain.

"Swoosh!"

Ruan Qingtan's bow and Arrow struck the Nightmare Wolf's left eye with precision.

The monster howled in pain, temporarily abandoning its chase of Lin Yifan, and turned to pounce on Ruan Qingtan.

"Watch out!" Lin Yifan shouted.

At the critical moment, a flash of silver streaked by.

Ai Rui Li Ya, wielding twin blades, stood like a phantom before Ruan Qingtan, clashing hard against the Nightmare Wolf with a strike.

The metallic clash rang harshly, and sparks flew in all directions.

Lin Yifan hadn't expected Ai Rui Li Ya to take the initiative to help.

That strike earlier, without his intervention, Ruan Qingtan would have been seriously wounded, if not killed.

"Don't freeze!" Ai Rui Li Ya lightly barked, her voice urgent as she said:

"A Six-Tier Beast can't be dealt with alone; at least I can't! You all hurry and help."

Lin Yifan quickly reacted and shouted to the stunned crowd around him: "Anyone with ranged attacks, use your ranged attack skills to hold it back; those strong in melee, come with me, we'll deal with it together!!"

Perhaps the instinct to survive sparked courage, and the crowd began to act in an organized way.

Darts, Arrows, even stones were thrown—various chaotic objects continuously pelted the Nightmare Wolf.

Though these attacks couldn't inflict fatal damage, they did indeed disrupt its movements.

Lin Yifan seized the chance, lunging forward in a single stride.

The weapon in his hand suddenly emitted an eerie blue glow, slashing hard at the Nightmare Wolf's hind leg.

"Aaa—!" the Nightmare Wolf let out a mournful howl, its movements noticeably slowing.

"Captain, your attack is effective!" Ruan Qingtan shouted excitedly.

A flicker of surprise crossed Ai Rui Li Ya's eyes: "Your weapon... can actually wound it?"

Before Lin Yifan could answer, the wounded Nightmare Wolf suddenly erupted in fury.

Its fur bristled all over, the surrounding air began to warp, and an suffocating Overwhelming Pressure enveloped the entire area.

"Bad!" Ai Rui Li Ya's face turned pale as she shouted in terror:

"It's about to unleash its Innate Skill—Shadow Storm! Everyone find cover and hide!"

Yet his warning was a step too late; countless black wind blades erupted outward from the Nightmare Wolf.

Amid the screams, several people who couldn't dodge were instantly sliced into fragments.

Lin Yifan dragged Ruan Qingtan behind a stone pillar, where the wind blades left deep scars on the pillar.

He panted heavily, his mind racing.

The Nightmare Wolf was truly overwhelming; compared to the Three-Tier Nether Wolf he had faced before, it was far stronger than a mere fraction.

Though Lin Yifan was somewhat confident in his own strength, confronting such a terrifying beast still gave him a nervous feeling.

"We can't keep going like this; we'll eventually be worn down by it..." he looked at Ai Rui Li Ya, his face grim:

"Since you know this creature, you must know its weakness, right?"

Aeri Liya furrowed her brow, gave a wry smile and said, "The Nightmare Wolf's weak point is its abdomen, but it's too fast; ordinary attacks can't… Wait, how can your weapon hurt it?"

Lin Yifan lowered his head, glanced at the blue‑glowing weapon in his hand, and laughed, "Probably because it's enchanted!"

Since his Great Axe was coated, the holy‑light damage it deals has scored several major successes.

Who would have thought it would succeed again this time!

But at that moment, the Nightmare Wolf had already discovered their hiding place.

It gaped its blood‑filled maw and lunged fiercely!

The stone pillar shattered under its claws like tofu.

At the hair‑trigger moment, Lin Yifan made a move that shocked everyone—he voluntarily charged toward the Nightmare Wolf!

"Captain, don't be reckless! What are you trying to do?!" Ruan Qingtan shouted in terror.

At the instant of imminent collision, Lin Yifan suddenly sidestepped, then quickly entered a combination of Eternal Freeze Domain and Extreme Speed Ice Flash.

Eternal Freeze Domain slows enemies within it by 60% while allowing Lin Yifan to speed up to 200%.

With this double‑pronged approach, the Nightmare Wolf's speed became unbalanced, nearly causing it to fall flat on its face.

Lin Yifan naturally seized the chance, pointing his Great Axe straight at the Nightmare Wolf's soft abdomen.

On the street, the blue light flared, and the Nightmare Wolf let out an unprecedented wail, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Now!" Aeri Liya seized the moment, crossing her twin blades to slash the Nightmare Wolf's neck.

With a muffled thud, the terrifying sixth‑tier beast finally ceased struggling.
