Chapter 165: Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Butterfly Girl anxiously fluttered within the Mountain and River World, longing to emerge and assist.

However, Ling Xiao did not permit her to come out.

Indeed, should Butterfly Girl emerge, the battle would present no suspense.

Yet Ling Xiao was well aware of the severe consequences that could ensue.

Seeking help when faced with a formidable enemy, if such practice persisted, not only would martial fervor fade and Sword Intent wane, but even confidence would gradually erode.

The opponent was not an invincible entity.

It was only somewhat challenging.

Therefore, Ling Xiao believed that now was not the time for Butterfly Girl to take the stage.

Blood was flowing.

However, once it flowed out, it transformed into a gaseous state, then merged into that terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent.

Though the injuries on his body grew graver, Ling Xiao's fighting spirit intensified ever more.

He gripped the shaft of his Long Spear in his left hand, a cold smile surfacing on his face.
