The person surrounded by the group of elemental beasts was precisely Kaxiu.

  The strength of the elemental beasts on this plain was much weaker than that on the Red Stone Plain. The vast majority of them were first-level elemental beasts, and only a few were second-level ones. As for third-level elemental beasts, there wasn't a single one.

  With Kaxiu's strength at the peak of the third level, he naturally didn't take them seriously.

  Two familiars protected him all around, and a three-star melee-type familiar rushed out, charging back and forth among the group of elemental beasts, leaving a trail of corpses wherever it went.

  The grades of these elemental beasts were too low. They were completely doomed to be instantly killed. Kaxiu even just opened a protective sphere to cover his whole body. It could be seen that such a situation was extremely easy for him.

  In the sky, Chen Yue slightly furrowed his brows.

  At this level, it was completely impossible to tell Kaxiu's real strength...

  To avoid being discovered, Chen Yue ascended another two hundred meters from his original height, reaching a full thousand meters away from the ground. No matter how powerful Kaxiu was, he would never be able to detect him.

  Therefore, Chen Yue didn't have too many scruples and carefully observed him.

  Regarding this sworn enemy who was bound to fight to the death with him, naturally, the more he knew about him, the better.

  With the one-sided battle situation below reflected in his eyes, information about Kaxiu quickly flashed through Chen Yue's mind.

  Kaxiu was a very low-key person. Although he was a figure at the peak of the third level, his reputation in the Apostle Association of the Tianye Empire wasn't prominent at all. In fact, few people even knew what his familiars were.

  Under such circumstances, the information that Chen Yue could obtain was extremely limited.

  Slightly narrowing his eyes, Chen Yue stared intently at the three familiars and quickly weighed them in his mind.

  The only one that caught Chen Yue's attention was the three-star melee-type familiar.

  It was a humanoid steel puppet, three meters tall. Its whole body was extremely hard and impenetrable. The attacks of first-level and second-level elemental beasts landing on it were just like scratching an itch and didn't cause any harm at all. And every time its two fists fell, it could take the lives of one or two elemental beasts.

  Although the recovery ability of elemental beasts was terrifying, it couldn't be brought into play at all in the face of being instantly killed. Second-level elemental beasts were a bit better. The strength of this steel puppet wasn't enough to instantly kill them, but every time they were hit, they would be severely injured and had to temporarily retreat to wait for their bodies to recover.

  There weren't many second-level elemental beasts on this plain, and the remaining ones couldn't stop this steel puppet at all. It was only a matter of time before Kaxiu broke through the encirclement.

  "Well, its abilities should be more focused on strength and defense. Both aspects are quite powerful, and its strength is even no less than mine." Touching his chin, a trace of doubt flashed through Chen Yue's eyes. "However, it seems that something is missing."

  Although the abilities demonstrated by this steel puppet were powerful, they were far below Chen Yue's psychological expectation.

  Kaxiu was at the peak of the third level, which meant that he should have at least one three-star, third-level familiar.

  If this steel puppet was that sixth-level familiar, it undoubtedly disappointed Chen Yue. Back then, the Golden Skeleton, which was also at the sixth level, was extremely powerful. In terms of strength, Chen Yue was completely no match for it and was thoroughly suppressed. Although the Golden Skeleton was a four-star familiar and its abilities were definitely stronger than those of the three-star steel puppet, judging from the current situation, the gap seemed to be quite large.

  "No, there must be something wrong."

  Gently tapping the blue-patterned card, in the next moment, Meteorite Crystal poked its little head out in confusion.

  "Chen Yue, what's the matter... Ah, why are we in the air?"

  Without Chen Yue's instructions, the little guy had been hiding in the subspace these days. At this moment, as soon as it popped out and found itself in mid-air, it was startled.

  After a simple explanation to bring the little guy's attention back from the Wings of Flight, Chen Yue put forward his request: "Meteorite Crystal, help me check the level of that familiar down there."

  Meteorite Crystal replied with an "Oh" and reluctantly glanced at the colorful light wings before directly opening its True Vision Pupil and looking downward.

  After a while.

  Meteorite Crystal, who had closed its True Vision Pupil, raised its head with a distress expression and said, "It's too far away. I can't see clearly at all."

  Meteorite Crystal didn't have the strength like Chen Yue. The True Vision Pupil also needed to see the other party clearly to take effect. A distance of over a thousand meters was too difficult for Meteorite Crystal.

  "Then let's descend a bit."

  After thinking for a moment, Chen Yue said firmly.

  The sensing ability of familiars was extremely strong. Chen Yue didn't want Kaxiu to discover him, so he had to keep a distance of at least five hundred meters. However, for Meteorite Crystal to see the other party clearly, it needed to be at least three hundred meters away.

  "We need to get over two hundred meters closer. That's the only way." Chen Yue's eyes flickered.

  The Wings of Flight stopped flapping and spread out to the sides. Chen Yue's body then began to fall.

  Occasionally, he flapped them gently to slow down the falling speed, and soon he dropped to a height of five hundred meters.

  Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

  With his lips tightly pursed, Chen Yue didn't make any move.

  Five hundred meters was just the normal reaction distance of familiars. However, at this moment, they were in the middle of a battle.

  After descending another hundred meters, a relatively idle two-star familiar beside Kaxiu suddenly had a change in its expression. At the same time, a stream of light entered Chen Yue's body in front of his chest, and in the next moment, Chen Yue's figure disappeared.

  "Light Escape."

  Looking up at the sky with some confusion, this familiar didn't notice anything.

  In the state of transforming into light, one couldn't move quickly, otherwise the time would be greatly shortened. With Chen Yue's current falling speed, he could only maintain this state for at most fifteen seconds.

  However.

  "Fifteen seconds is enough."

  Ten seconds later, he finally descended to a height of three hundred meters from the ground.

  Meteorite Crystal flew out of the subspace. Once it left Chen Yue's body, it was immediately exposed. However, by the time that familiar noticed the abnormality, Meteorite Crystal had already scanned the steel puppet with its True Vision Pupil. Immediately after that, Chen Yue detached from the state of transforming into light, took Meteorite Crystal back into the subspace, and then suddenly flapped his wings hard, instantly increasing his speed to the maximum.

  With a "whoosh", Chen Yue shot straight up into the sky, rising hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye.

  That familiar looked up again and naturally could only see the air.

  "How exciting." The experience of flying thousands of meters into the sky in the blink of an eye made the little guy extremely excited.

  Fortunately, there was the state of Light Escape. Otherwise, it would be impossible to check the situation of the steel puppet without being discovered by Kaxiu.

  "It's a three-star, second-level familiar."

  After the excitement wore off, Meteorite Crystal immediately told what it had seen.

  "As expected..." Chen Yue sneered coldly. This familiar was indeed not Kaxiu's trump card.

  "Andre could even take out the Rock Shield. Kaxiu's strength is completely no less than his. Coupled with the full support of the four disciples behind him, there might be even more unexpected situations. We can't underestimate him." Chen Yue was thinking calmly.

  During the ambush on Andre, although he won in the end, he had borrowed the strength of the powerful elemental beasts there. If they had fought head-on, Andre, protected by the turtle-shell-like Rock Shield, would have been extremely difficult to kill. Although they couldn't do anything to Chen Yue in the state of Light Escape either, the stalemate situation was undoubtedly unfavorable to Chen Yue.

  The same was true when facing Kaxiu now. What Chen Yue wanted was a one-hit kill. Otherwise, if he used all his trump cards and ended up in a situation where neither side won nor lost, then the following battles would be extremely difficult.

  "We must force out all of his strength." Chen Yue muttered to himself. The elemental beasts below were too weak to be of any help. He still needed other means.

  With a turn of his mind, Chen Yue suddenly sneered. "Dealing with Kaxiu isn't just my business. West and the others should also contribute."

  If West and the others knew Kaxiu's location, they would definitely rush over to assassinate him.

  "Although their strength is extremely limited and their role isn't big, if handled properly, perhaps we can force out Kaxiu's real strength."

  Thinking like this, Chen Yue made up his mind.

  "However..." His gaze shifted downward, and there was hesitation in Chen Yue's eyes. "With the strength of these elemental beasts, I'm afraid they can't stop Kaxiu at all. By the time West and the others arrive, he might have already left the dangerous area. In that case, West and the others will never be able to force out Kaxiu's strength."

  Chen Yue understood that only with a large number of elemental beasts contain ing Kaxiu would West and the others have a chance of success. That was why they had proposed to intercept and kill Kaxiu in the dangerous area.

  Kaxiu couldn't be allowed to pass through the dangerous area easily. At least, he had to be delayed here for three or four days.

  Standing in the sky, scanning his surroundings with his eyes, Chen Yue soon had an idea.

  The elemental beasts on this plain were not strong, but that didn't mean the situation around here was the same. As long as enough second-level elemental beasts were attracted, Kaxiu could be held back.

  With a thought, Chen Yue vigorously flapped the Wings of Flight and flew towards the nearby area.

  Due to the hatred of elemental beasts towards humans, it was easy for Chen Yue to attract a large number of them and lead them to the vicinity of where Kaxiu was. To avoid being discovered, Chen Yue used Light Escape to hide his figure hundreds of meters away. The elemental beasts, having lost their target, were extremely frustrated. When they saw Kaxiu, who was fighting with a group of elemental beasts not far away, they didn't need to think twice and rushed over immediately.

  In a short while, over a hundred second-level elemental beasts joined the battle. Kaxiu's pressure suddenly increased, and he no longer had the leisurely look he had before. With more second-level elemental beasts, it wouldn't be easy for him to withdraw easily and he would inevitably have to be entangled for a long time.

  Chen Yue continued his efforts and didn't stop until he had attracted three or four hundred elemental beasts.

  It wasn't that he didn't want to continue attracting more. The more elemental beasts there were, the greater the danger. These elemental beasts were still not enough to threaten Kaxiu's life. Chen Yue didn't dare to attract third-level elemental beasts. He himself would be in danger, and it would be easier to be discovered.

  Just relying on these elemental beasts wasn't enough to force out all of Kaxiu's strength. Chen Yue didn't want Kaxiu to become vigilant. Otherwise, the difficulty of a one-hit kill would be much greater.

  It was normal for groups of elemental beasts to come and go in the dangerous area. Even if Kaxiu was strange about why there were suddenly so many second-level elemental beasts and had doubts in his heart, as long as Chen Yue didn't show up, his doubts would naturally fade away slowly, thinking it was just a normal situation.

  Watching Kaxiu constantly retreating and starting to play a game of chase with the group of elemental beasts, Chen Yue sneered coldly. With a flap of the light wings on his back, he flew towards the direction of the Trial City at top speed.
