?67: Chapter 66: The Pack of Wolves 67: Chapter 66: The Pack of Wolves Countless Red Flame Wolves surrounded the disciples, and as far as the eye could see, it was a sea of fiery red.

    “Not good, retreat quickly!”

    The disciples’ faces changed drastically, and they retreated in terror; getting trapped here would have unimaginable consequences.

    In another direction, Lin Xuan and Yin Qingyi also faced the same situation, with hundreds of Red Flame Wolves eyeing them, growling lowly from their mouths.

    “This is bad, we’ve been too careless!” Lin Xuan’s expression grew stern as he leaned in close to Yin Qingyi, quickly retreating.

    “AOOO!”

    The dozens of Red Flame Wolves at the forefront pounced, their sharp claws flailing through the air, aiming for vital spots like heads and chests.

    “Seeking death!” Lin Xuan swept the Red Flame Greatsword in his hand, and golden thunder roared out, piercing the Red Flame Wolves in the sky.

    The powerful electric force contained within the thunder left the wolves numb all over, and their bodies immediately stiffened.

    Plop, plop, the sounds continued one after another as the Red Flame Wolves, fur scorched black, fell to the ground, convulsing.

    Lin Xuan had taken out ten Red Flame Wolves with a single sword slash, all in the blink of an eye; he and Yin Qingyi leaped with all their strength, jumping towards the back.

    The next moment, a sky-covering horde of Red Flame Wolves howled, frantically chasing after Lin Xuan and Yin Qingyi.

    Not just the two of them, every disciple on the battlefield was under attack.

    Now, these Outer Door disciples finally realized the battle was not as simple as they had imagined; hunting one or two Fierce Beasts meant nothing, surviving amidst these hordes was what truly mattered.

    This was the dilemma humans faced.

    Although Demon Beasts lacked martial arts skills, their numbers were overwhelming.

    If it turned into a war of attrition, humans simply couldn’t afford the depletion, and above the Fierce Beasts were the Demon Beasts.

    Some powerful Demon Beasts, even capable of taking human form, could contend with the strongest of the Human Clan.

    Swoosh, swoosh!

    Lin Xuan and Yin Qingyi dove into a collapsed building, where the narrow entrance conveniently blocked the Red Flame Wolves.

    “Phew!

    We’re temporarily safe.” Lin Xuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead; the situation just now had been exceedingly dangerous.

    Had they run slower and gotten surrounded by the wolf pack, they likely only had one possible fate. S~ea??h the N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “So, what do we do now?” Yin Qingyi asked anxiously.

    “We wait.

    Logically, the test shouldn’t be this twisted; nobody could complete this kind of scenario.” Lin Xuan speculated, “Perhaps we’ve encountered a special situation.

    If that’s the case, I believe the sect will soon send someone strong to support us.”

    Yin Qingyi nodded, then found a clean spot to sit down.

    But not long after, there came a loud boom as the entrance blocked off by rocks that Lin Xuan had placed was suddenly blasted open, and a ferocious Red Flame Wolf charged in.

    Sssst!

    Lin Xuan swung his arm, the giant greatsword striking horizontally, sending the Red Flame Wolf flying, and coincidentally knocking away several other hungry wolves trying to enter.

    “Qingyi, use the Sword Array to block the entrance!” Lin Xuan called out urgently.

    Yin Qingyi formed a sword seal with her hands, and a three-foot Green Blade was planted at the entrance.

    A circular Sword Array split the entrance in half, one side inside, the other outside.

    Silver sword light danced like silver snakes within the Sword Array, each time piercing through a Red Flame Wolf.

    However, the blood drove the pack even more insane.

    As one Red Flame Wolf fell, even more threw themselves towards the entrance.

    Soon, a small mountain of wolf corpses piled up outside, blocking the entrance.

    Yin Qingyi was drenched in fragrant sweat, her little face flushed with exertion, dreadfully cute.

    Lin Xuan handed her a Recovery Elixir and told her to rest.

    “I reckon it won’t be long before you break through to the Sixth-tier of Muculation,” Lin Xuan said as he looked at Yin Qingyi.

    “Hmm, the bottleneck has loosened up quite a bit,” Yin Qingyi nodded obediently, “This is the first time I’ve operated the Sword Array for such a long period!”

    “Just rest well,” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

    Yin Qingyi put away the Sword Array and then sat down cross-legged on the ground to regulate her breathing.

    A faint glow radiated from her delicate body, as pure as moonlight.

    Lin Xuan didn’t disturb her but instead surveyed the small space they were in.

    Inside there were quite a few tables and chairs, along with several broken stone pillars.

    The ground was covered with beast skin carpets, indicating that it might have been a place of wealth in the past.

    After scoping the area without finding anything of value, Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze.

    Beside him, the glow around Yin Qingyi grew brighter as if enshrouded by a Silver Moon.

    “Could it be a breakthrough?” Lin Xuan’s lips curled up slightly.

    Boom!

    Just then, a loud noise came from outside, and the corpses of the Red Flame Wolves were blasted to pieces, scattering to the sides.

    “Has the entrance been opened?” Lin Xuan’s face darkened as he grabbed his Red Flame Greatsword and, with a flicker of his body, arrived at the entrance.

    “You just focus on breaking through; I’ll handle things here!” Lin Xuan said firmly.

    The words of Lin Xuan caused Yin Qingyi’s delicate body to tremble behind him, and her previously chaotic Spiritual Power suddenly stabilized.

    Feeling the change behind him, Lin Xuan finally felt relieved.

    He concentrated and peered outside the entrance, drawing in a sharp breath.

    Through the cracks, he saw a towering Red Flame Wolf outside the entrance, three times the size of an ordinary one, glaring fiercely at the entrance.

    This colossal Red Flame Wolf emitted a heavy Evil Qi, with a faint hint of Demon Energy.

    All the wolves around it bowed their heads, whining softly.

    “That aura…” Lin Xuan’s heart skipped a beat, “This is a Third-stage Fierce Beast!”

    A Third-stage Fierce Beast was equivalent to a Seventh Level of Pulse Condensation human Cultivator, and they were more ferocious and tricky than the average Seventh-Order Cultivator.

    “This must be the pack’s Leader Wolf, probably not easy to deal with!” Lin Xuan felt the Thunder Spiritual Power within him ready to strike; at any movement from the Leader Wolf, he was set to draw his sword immediately.

    Howl!

    The Leader Wolf’s emerald eyes gleamed coldly; it arched its back, with its aura of viciousness and a trace of Demon Energy enshrouding it.

    Lin Xuan dared not act rashly; if he shattered this wall, Yin Qingyi behind him would be in danger.

    At this moment, he could only intimidate the Leader Wolf to buy time.

    As long as Yin Qingyi’s breakthrough was successful, everything would be manageable!

    “Right, let’s try my Sword Intent,” Lin Xuan’s lips quirked up.

    Slowly infusing Spiritual Power into the Sword Intent Seed, he then began to activate it gradually.

    The next moment, a sharp momentum burst forth from him.

    Lin Xuan seemed to transform into a golden streak of lightning, radiating a dangerous presence.

    Golden electric currents zigzagged through the air, seeking to tear everything asunder.

    Whimper!

    The towering Leader Wolf scraped the ground continuously with its limbs, its eyes filled with fear.

    In front of Lin Xuan, the once ferocious Leader Wolf became as docile as a Little Dog.

    With a single sword strike, thunder roared through the heavens, and a flash of golden sword light streaked by.
