Zhang Po stood up, grabbed the treasure sword, and stood with it drawn. He said to Xiao Yifei, "You kid, you've got some skills." Even Zhang Po himself didn't expect to be rescued by Xiao Yifei in such a manner. He felt simultaneously frustrated and amused.
The axeman on the stone platform saw Xiao Yifei and stood up, a glint of harshness flashing in his eyes. The guards in the square also realized what was happening and formed a circle around Xiao Yifei and the others, closing in on them.
Zhang Po turned back to Xiao Yifei and said, "Xiao Yifei, leave that axeman to me. Hold off these guards for me. Ci Xin has run into some physical problems and can't fight for now. Protect her." With that, he twirled his sword with one hand, took a swift step to leap out of the encirclement, and charged toward the stone platform.
No time to ask more questions, Xiao Yifei also assumed a combat stance, ready to break through with Ci Xin.
A battle was imminent.
