The Giant Statue Case remained silent. Although he was known to be able to contend with Dilixiati for a short while and was appreciated by the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism, Case was keenly aware of the gap between himself and Dilixiati. He could only manage a brief confrontation with Dilixiati by leveraging the burst of power from the third stage's golden giant elephant. Once the burst period passed, his strength would rapidly decline to its original state. After all, if Case truly could match and defeat Dilixiati, he wouldn't be number one in Dark Hunt but would have long since become a Holy Light Hunter.
And yet, Bai Kui somehow managed to make Dilixiati feel an imminent danger, however faint and brief it might be. His concealed strength must be far from simple, and if Case were to forcefully confront him, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage.
It would indeed be just as Dilixiati had said; the defeat would be too unsightly...
