Chapter 741: The battlefield IV
Jane finally felt a wave of relief when she spotted Elder Hal's floating figure in the sky, at a distance, observing everything. The old man had a spark of excitement in his eyes, but he was also frowning as he watched Kyle sprinting across the battlefield.
Noticing Jane's gaze, Hal glanced at her, feeling a bit guilty that he hadn't helped her despite being in the area for a while. He was ready to assist her.
However, a few more supreme-rank individuals from the dark side emerged from the other side with dark expressions. Their eyes were locked on Kyle, and it was clear what their intentions were.
In that moment, Elder Hal regretted his decision to allow Kyle to join the fight, just so he could see the man's improvement.
"I should have stopped him when I saw him running toward the battlefield with Bia."
He sighed, realizing he couldn't stop the man now. His thoughts were interrupted when suddenly a crack formed behind him, causing him to turn his head back. His eyes softened a bit when he saw his wife.
Sophia nodded at him and stopped next to him with a faint smile as she followed his gaze and saw Kyle for the first time.
"Don't worry, they will stop him."
Hal raised his brow. He understood what she meant because after a moment, a few familiar figures emerged from the crack with excitement dancing in their eyes.
Alec's eyes narrowed impatiently as he surveyed the area before him. His gaze sharpened when he spotted several furious supreme ranks in the distance.
"Where's Kyle?"
Elder Hal simply pointed toward a fast figure in the crowd below to indicate the location of the only untainted individual amidst the gruesome carpet of red.
Alec rolled his eyes.
"Even in such a situation, he is not letting his clothes get dirty."
Sinon pushed him aside. He had informed everyone about Kyle the moment he learned of his arrival. It had only taken a short while to notify everyone, so he was speechless to see that Kyle had already caused a scene.
He let out a chuckle. That's Kyle for you.
"Guys, I don't think we would be able to communicate with him from this distance. Let's join the battle and drag him out before he ends up dead."
Alec grabbed him quickly before the man dove down and shook his head. They had previously entered the war and caused a big commotion, so if they joined the fight again, it would only worsen the situation, which was already dire with Kyle.
"We shouldn't. Let's try to contact him through the communication crystal."
Carcel hurriedly separated the two men before they could start arguing. Since Nine left, Sinon had been the one getting into the most disputes with Alec.
"But would Kyle even have time to respond in the middle of the battle?"
Mia agreed with him before Lara suggested that they should at least try. Among the six individuals in the group who had come here with Sophia, only one remained silent.
It was Yue. Her amber eyes, tinged with a hint of coral, were fixed on the familiar man running across the battlefield, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. The very man who had disappeared after their marriage. Her heart skipped a beat at this thought.
She was certain he had already noticed their presence; after all, he possessed a powerful sensing skill. Unlike the others, she found herself waiting to see how long Kyle would ignore everyone.
'Should I call him? Would he listen?'
Yue pursed her lips into thin lines.
'I kind of want to hit him... but can I? He's become even stronger. We talked through the commotion crystal, but it was only twice.'
Finally, sensing her silence, the people around her turned to her. Sinon's eyes sparkled with mischief as he cleared his throat to catch Yue's attention.
"Yue, how about you try shouting his name? Maybe Kyle will... actually stop fighting and look in our direction?"
Yue blinked at his words, as if confirming she had heard correctly. Mia smiled at her and grabbed her right arm.
"Trying it won't hurt. We can already tell Kyle has sensed our presence, and he is ignoring us on purpose."
Lara agreed with her.
"Yeah, the supreme rank can not enter the area because of the force field, and if we go in, the enemy supreme ranks that have been watching everything would attack without considering the consequences."
Yue's face flushed when everyone's eyes were on her, waiting for her response.
Across from the group, Hal and Sophia didn't know what to think anymore. Why did it feel like they weren't floating above the most brutal battlefield in the universe, but above a serene, idyllic landscape?
And why on earth was this group of people not the least bit interested in the fact that Kyle was currently killing non-stop?
Yue glanced at Kyle and nodded at the people around her, even though she wasn't sure he would listen.
"Okay, I will shout Kyle's name..."
She hadn't even finished her sentence when someone gently tapped her shoulder. The touch didn't feel cold... but warm.
Sinon tsked at the person behind her. Alec and the others were just as surprised, but more than surprised, they were amused.
Yue hurriedly tilted her head and looked back, only to see a familiar pair of green eyes staring intently at her. She held her breath for a second when she saw a smile on his face-a smile he
rarely showed.
His expression appeared so much softer than she remembered, almost as if she were
imagining it.
Kyle's smile widened at the sight of her dazed expression. It was a pleasing feeling to hear his wife call his name.
Just as they had assumed, he sensed the group's presence the moment they arrived.
But he wanted Yue to call him... well, he knew he was being a bit of a jerk. Still, all his focus
was on her the instant he sensed her familiar presence nearby; he couldn't even concentrate on the fight.
His nerves were on edge, and he could hardly believe he heard her faint words amid the chaos
surrounding him.
"You called me, my wife?"
His words were so gentle that Alec, Carcel, and Sinon cringed, unable to believe it was Kyle speaking. Even Mia and Lara were taken aback. After all, even around Yue, Kyle had never shown this level of softness before. It felt as if something had changed within him.
The most shocked person was Old Hal. His jaw dropped in disbelief. He couldn't believe he was seeing the same cold Kyle who had forced him and many others to work day and night in the Sacred Divine Land!
