Xu Le swore as Toad caught him, then used the Substitute Life Technique to heal his injuries. Meanwhile, Toad had already launched an attack on Bai Kui.
"Water Style: Spirit Binding."
Xu Le did not move in to coordinate with Toad. Instead, he jumped down from Toad's hand, landed on the ground, and looked at the tail hook submerged in the lava.
Toad's leg was hooked. If they could not deal with Gu Jianuo, defeat would be inevitable if this dragged on.
Xu Le pressed his palm against the tail hook. The conductivity of Spirit Energy immediately allowed him to locate Gu Jianuo struggling beneath the lava.

Xu Le glanced at the Sky Ring on his finger and slowly calmed his mind, preparing to kill No. 4.
But on the other side, Bai Kui had already broken through Toad's defenses.
Another beam struck Xu Le, slicing off one of his arms.
"This guy..."
Xu Le gestured with one hand, and the Black and White Witch Cicadas instantly appeared on either side of Bai Kui.
