Just as everyone was terrified, Lin Han suddenly grabbed a knife and charged forward without a second thought.
Before Li Yu and the others could stop him, Lin Han had already rushed in front of the monster.
"Die!" Lin Han roared at the top of his lungs, wanting to avenge Uncle Lin himself.
Unfortunately, his courage did not bring him any advantage.
A loud "bang!"
The monster swung its hand, and Lin Han's body was instantly sent flying by the powerful force.
Lin Han tumbled through the air, flying in an arc before crashing heavily to the ground, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.
Li Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lin Han up.
The monster's ferocious eyes stared at Lin Han, who was flying backward. It then reached out, sniffed the blood residue on its hand, and rubbed its nose, saying:
"Your blood... is stupid."
Upon hearing the monster's words, Li Yu immediately realized what was going on.
The reason why the monster only killed Uncle Lin and let Lin Han go was not because of the knife, but because of Lin Han's own defect.
Furthermore, Li Yu discovered that the monster, after consuming blood, seemed to gradually lose its human thinking and language abilities, and its actions became more like those of a beast driven by instinct.
However, even with its intelligence greatly reduced, the monster was still able to detect the defects in Lin Han's blood.
The monster's eyes were filled with greed and longing as it stared at the dense crowd before it, as if these humans were prey it had been coveting for a long time, and it was itching to pounce.
Seeing this, Li Yu no longer hesitated and quickly raised his crossbow, aiming at the monster called Yue Nian.
In an instant, the monster Yue Nian's body seemed to be suddenly controlled by a mysterious force, completely losing its ability to control itself.
Its body involuntarily tensed up, immediately entering a state of high alert and defense.
Countless tiny scales automatically piled up in front of it, forming a sturdy protective barrier.
Clearly, Yue Nian's body had fully sensed the immense threat emanating from Li Yu and reacted instinctively.
Yue Nian suddenly turned his head and stared straight at where Li Yu was. Li Yu also looked back at him.
Their gazes met in the air, making everyone watching feel the tension in the atmosphere.
"Whoosh—"
The heavy rain showed no sign of stopping, with large raindrops continuously pelting down.
At this moment, the entrance to the town was already packed with people.
Those residents who had come out with the determination to fight the monster to the death were now holding their breath, their eyes fixed on Li Yu and the monster in their standoff.
The spectators were all eagerly anticipating the battle of Li Yu, the hero of Zhongzhou.
Everyone was eager to verify whether those heroic deeds, which were published on the front page of the newspaper and were described in great detail, were actually true.
Everyone wanted to know exactly how Li Yu helped the Central Plains defense line achieve final victory.
Everyone was eager to witness Li Yu's astonishing ability to turn the tide.
Even the town mayor and the guards beside him were staring intently at Li Yu, not daring to blink for fear of missing any exciting moment.
After all, witnessing the battle of legendary heroes right at their doorstep is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
However, something unexpected happened.
Just as the crossbow in Li Yu's hand entered elemental form.
The once menacing monster seemed to have encountered something extremely terrifying, and without hesitation, it turned and ran away, disappearing as quickly as a whirlwind.
"Oh no, that monster is running away!"
The injured Lin Han watched anxiously as the monster that killed Uncle Lin escaped, and hurriedly reminded Li Yu.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Li Yu pulled the trigger immediately.
"call out--"
An armor-piercing arrow, enveloped in water elemental energy, hurtled through the air and caught up with the monster in an instant.
The monster Yue Nian felt a deadly threat coming from behind him, and an unprecedentedly strong sense of fear of death instantly surged into his heart.
"No!"
He screamed in despair, and countless scales instantly fell off his body.
These scales, imbued with blood and energy, rapidly coalesced, layering together at the back of the chest, attempting to withstand the fatal blow.
"Whoosh!"
The armor-piercing arrow easily penetrated the dense scales of defense and pierced Yue Nian's back without any hindrance.
As Yue Nian was running at high speed, his body suddenly trembled. He was horrified to see a water arrow shoot out from his chest and continue flying forward, leaving him far behind.
In an instant, the alien beast genes that were originally hidden within Yue Nian's body began to stir wildly.
Countless alien cells trembled desperately, attempting to replace the heartbeat to maintain life and save the dying body.
But it was all in vain.
As life faded, the fierce and brutal light in Yue Nian's eyes gradually dimmed, replaced by a rare clarity and tranquility.
At that moment, he instantly realized that his life hung by a thread, and death was imminent.
Faced with death, Yue Nian became calm.
He slowly lowered his head, taking one last look at his body, which was so different from that of ordinary humans.
Skin covered in red scales, muscles twisted and deformed.
Yue Nian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile, and he murmured softly:
"That's fine too..."
The blood-red figure crashed to the ground, splashing water everywhere.
Seeing the exciting battle that was about to begin come to an abrupt end, the residents of Bada Town were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with shock as they looked at Li Yu.
They knew Li Yu was strong, but they didn't expect her to be this strong.
Even the Central Plains Law Enforcement Team couldn't handle the monster, but Li Yu killed it with just one arrow.
That's an absolute stunner!
The Taoist priest from Zhongzhou, who was hiding nearby, also looked equally surprised.
As a rare hybrid of human and beast, Yue Nian has long been recorded in Zhongzhou, and many law enforcement officers in the vicinity even know Yue Nian.
This rare beast not only possesses the superpowers of awakened humans, but can also replenish its strength by consuming human blood.
After losing control, Yue Nian became even more powerful, and even an entire fully armed squad of Awakened Ones could not defeat him.
The previous law enforcement teams that came to investigate suffered heavy losses. Unexpectedly, the powerful Yue Nian actually stumbled in this small town of Bada.
The Taoist priest stared blankly at Yue Nian's corpse lying on the ground in the distance.
In fact, he had already arrived here to provide support before the battle even began.
However, seeing Yue Nian's rising momentum, he planned to hide first and take advantage of the opportunity to make a move so that he could capture him successfully in one go.
But to his utter surprise, the powerful Yue Nian was killed in an instant, which truly shocked him.
There was no need to hide anymore. The Taoist priest pushed off with his feet and rushed towards the already dead Yue Nian.
"town!"
