The toad spirit let out a painful screech and jerked back its tongue in agony.
Yan Ning felt his grip loosen and immediately stepped back.
Turning around, I saw Xie Huaiye had appeared at the door at some point, holding a long knife, his eyes as cold as ice.
A golden light shone from his forehead.
That's a sign that he has opened his third eye; he can now open it freely.
"Xie Huaiye!" Yan Ning exclaimed in surprise.
Are you alright?
Xie Huaiye took a step in front of her, his gaze fixed on the toad demon, who was driven mad by pain.
"It's alright, just watch out for its venom and tongue!"
The toad spirit was enraged.
Its eyes turned bloodshot, and it puffed out its cheeks again.
More venom sprayed towards the two of them like raindrops!

He charged forward, the tip of his blade aimed straight for the toad demon's heart!

"Whoosh whoosh!"
The silver needles were precisely inserted into the acupoints on the toad spirit's arm.
Its movements faltered!
Xie Huaiye seized this fleeting opportunity.
He drew his sword and turned around, then focused all his strength on the blade.
With a low shout, he slashed horizontally with his sword!
