Huang Xiao could not shake off these five men now, even though three of them were already wounded.
Even if he found an opportunity to kill those three, it would do him no good. He might even come under a joint attack from Xiang Guiqing and Jia Kong.
Minghong... Huang Xiao sighed inwardly, somewhat helplessly.
After drawing his saber and slashing at Pang Yi earlier, he had sensed that the Minghong Saber's sentience seemed to have been suppressed again.

Minghong had regained its sentience at the Lakebed earlier, clearly because the Grand Formation in the Lake had temporarily isolated it from the influence of the Grand Formation outside.
Now that the Grand Formation in the Lake had been broken, he could no longer restore the Minghong Saber's sentience even in the water.
