"Four-star familiar!"

  Chen Yue's pupils suddenly contracted. He hadn't expected that Carlo could be so lucky as to possess a four-star familiar. No wonder he was so arrogant and completely ignored Macedonia, who was also a disciple.

  Even though this familiar wasn't as good as Vinia's water spirit, it was still a four-star one. As long as it was at the second level, it was already beyond what Chen Yue could handle.

  Taking a deep breath, in the next moment, Chen Yue concentrated his spirit and stared fearlessly at the Vajra Skeleton. Even in a purgatory scene that was thousands of times worse than this one, Chen Yue had never given up, and he definitely wouldn't give up now.

  "You're doomed." Carlo sneered. He was full of confidence in his familiar and immediately gave the order to attack.

  "Click, click." Opening and closing its jaws, the Vajra Skeleton seemed to be sneering as well, looking at this overconfident opponent in front of it with its hollow eyes.

  "Chen Yue, be careful. This familiar has the strength of a four-star second-level and is of the melee type," Macedonia beside him immediately reminded aloud.

  Carlo was furious when he heard this, but then he calmed down and curled the corners of his lips slightly. Even if you know the strength of the Vajra Skeleton, so what...

  "Whoosh." While Chen Yue was slightly distracted, the Vajra Skeleton suddenly rushed over at a speed invisible to the naked eye, creating a series of cracking sounds in the air like setting off firecrackers. Wherever it passed, the ground cracked as if it had been attacked.

  At such a speed, an ordinary person wouldn't even be able to react at all. However, Chen Yue swung the Blade Beast and accurately slashed at the bone fist of the Vajra Skeleton that was suddenly attacking.

  Before it even got close, the sense of oppression brought by the fierce impact made Chen Yue feel it was difficult to breathe.

  "Boom!" With an earth-shattering loud noise, Chen Yue only felt a powerful force like a landslide surging towards him. His whole body was thrown backward like a sandbag. Suddenly, a huge wind pressure burst out at the point where the two sides collided, blowing away the people nearby. Countless cracks several feet deep appeared on the ground, and a big pit was even formed in the center. One could see how terrifying the power contained in that punch was.

  "Damn it! Is this the power of a melee-type familiar with the strength of the sixth level?" Being punched and sent flying, Chen Yue felt that his whole body was aching unbearably. This was still the result after he used some skills to dissipate a small part of the power.

  The sixth level was truly terrifying, especially for Chen Yue, who at most had the strength of the fifth level at this moment. That punch probably had the power of tens of thousands of catties. If an ordinary fifth-level professional encountered it, I'm afraid they would be smashed to pieces with one punch.

  Below, the intense whistling sound chased after him like a persistent parasite. Then, after a cracking sound, a huge sense of oppression once again enveloped Chen Yue's whole body.

  With a fierce look in his heart, the Blade Beast slashed down like lightning and accurately hit its fist again. The price was that Chen Yue was sent flying once more.

  In terms of strength, Chen Yue was far from being a match for the Vajra Skeleton. This purely strength-based familiar was so powerful that it was terrifying. However, in terms of skills, Chen Yue was far superior to the Vajra Skeleton.

  In the blink of an eye, the two had clashed dozens of times. Although Chen Yue suffered a little loss each time and was beaten extremely embarrassedly, he still managed to barely hold on by relying on his extremely precise skills.

  At the beginning, when his body was sore and numb, his recovery ability could still play a little role. However, as the frequency of collisions increased rapidly, Chen Yue's body's recovery ability gradually couldn't keep up.

  "Puff." Finally, the pressure brought by the Vajra Skeleton's heavy punch exceeded the load on his body, injuring Chen Yue's internal organs. He couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood, and a few drops of blood dripped onto the Blade Beast's blade and were absorbed by it.

  Barely adjusting his posture in the air, Chen Yue staggered when he landed and spat out another mouthful of blood.

  "Hahaha." Instead of immediately ordering the Vajra Skeleton to continue the attack, seeing Chen Yue's embarrassed appearance, Carlo couldn't help laughing wildly. "Chen Yue, the weapon you rely on can't hurt my familiar at all. Without it, you're nothing."

  "Really?" With a trace of bright red still on the corner of his lips, Chen Yue said faintly. He slightly lowered his head, and no one could see his expression clearly.

  Was he going to lose like this? He was really unwilling.

  Chen Yue had no intention of letting the frozen rabbit participate in the battle. Whether it was him or the Vajra Skeleton, their speeds were too fast. In a battle at this level, the frozen rabbit couldn't help at all.

  Apart from the frozen rabbit, he had already gone all out, but the result...

  Was he really going to lose?

  He was extremely unwilling no matter what.

  Gripping the hilt of the Blade Beast tightly with his five fingers, the unwillingness and anger in Chen Yue's heart boiled up at a geometrically increasing speed.

  Chen Yue slightly raised his head and fixed his gaze on the Blade Beast's blade, which was shining with a faint red light.

  If you really have the ability to compete with an eight-star familiar without being at a disadvantage, then show it.

  With a fierce look in his eyes, Chen Yue suddenly clenched his fist and smashed it hard against his chest.

  A mouthful of bright red hot blood was suddenly sprayed onto the Blade Beast's blade and was completely absorbed by it without a single drop left.

  In the next moment, as if hearing Chen Yue's strong inner voice, the red light suddenly soared.

  A burning sensation came from the palm of his hand, and the temperature suddenly rose to an unbearable level.

  Releasing his right hand, the Blade Beast immediately floated in the air. Immediately, many people exclaimed. If they still couldn't recognize the true identity of the Blade Beast by this time, they would be too stupid.

  However, at this time, Chen Yue had no time to care about anything else. All his attention was focused on the hilt of the Blade Beast.

  There, two life halos and the patterns between them were shining with a much brighter light than usual. Then, a small crack seemed to appear on the second halo. The red light flowed out from the halo and ignited the second pattern, and then the third halo.

  At first, it rotated somewhat stiffly. Slowly, the third halo and the previous two halos flowed slowly at the same pace. The three lights gradually formed a unified whole and looked unusually bright, as if reborn.

  "This, what is this? A two-star familiar turning into a three-star familiar? How is this possible?" Carlo looked at all this happening in shock, and the extremely smug smile on his face had long disappeared. However, he quickly adjusted his mood. After all, his familiar was a four-star one. What was there to be afraid of?

  "Vajra Skeleton, use your maximum strength and kill it!" Carlo shouted harshly.

  "Click." Receiving the order, the Vajra Skeleton rushed forward suddenly and threw a full-strength punch at the Blade Beast floating in the air. Before it even got close, the powerful wind pressure created a strong wind that seemed to scrape people's skin painfully, surrounding the bone fist. The momentum was extremely powerful.

  An unprecedented blow. Compared with this, the previous battles were just like warm-ups.

  However, Chen Yue didn't show any sign of retreating. From the floating Blade Beast, he felt an extremely intense fighting spirit. At this moment, he and the Blade Beast were connected in a strange way. It wasn't the same mental connection as with the frozen rabbit, but another special way. Chen Yue could feel its anger, desire, and fighting spirit.

  Filled with surging fighting spirit in his heart, Chen Yue reached out and grasped the hilt of the Blade Beast.

  There was no resistance. The newly transformed Blade Beast easily accepted him.

  "Boom."

  Facing the bone fist that the Vajra Skeleton punched over, Chen Yue didn't use any skills and directly collided with the strongest point of the opponent's attack, without the slightest retreat.

  "Idiot! How dare you fight head-on with the Vajra Skeleton!" Carlo curled his lips disdainfully.

  The many apostles watching couldn't help but sigh. What a pity for such a familiar with such special abilities. It seemed that it was going to be killed by the Vajra Skeleton.

  Almost everyone thought that in a head-on collision, the winner must be the Vajra Skeleton with its infinite brute force.

  However, to their surprise, it was the Vajra Skeleton that lost.

  Amid countless jets of air, the Vajra Skeleton was like a bull trying to knock down a mountain. It was pushed back hard, and the remaining force didn't stop, sending it flying away.

  An unusually loud "crack" sound reached everyone's ears. Then, right in front of everyone's eyes, the Vajra Skeleton, which had been sent flying backward less than ten meters, suddenly exploded from the heart position with a "bang".
