Chapter 1217: Chapter 1208: Quite a Skill
Zhang Po stood up, grabbed the treasure sword, and stood with it drawn. He said to Xiao Yifei, “You kid, you’ve got so 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 ford 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 . Hold off these guards for . Ci Xin has run into so 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 encirclent, and charged toward the stone platform.
No ti to ask more questions, Xiao Yifei also assud a combat stance, ready to break through with Ci Xin.
A battle was imminent.
Hatred for the massacre of his clan burned within him; Zhang Po didn’t hesitate. He held the treasure sword horizontally and, with light footsteps, quickly reached the stone platform, slashing fiercely toward the axeman’s face.
Clang!
The axeman raised his right hand, catching Zhang Po’s strike. The collision of sword and axe created a piercing friction noise, with tiny sparks flying out.
Xiao Yifei didn’t have ti to look, as he quickly shielded Ci Xin behind him and, with blue light surging from his fists, swung at the brawniest man nearest to him. That brute, instead of dodging, lifted his left hand to counter with a punch.
The two fists collided, both recoiling from the impact. The clansman overestimated his strength, daring to clash punches with Xiao Yifei. In an instant, his left arm was broken by Xiao Yifei, and he flew out of the encirclent, howling in pain.
Xiao Yifei didn’t fare so well either. The clan’s people were naturally fierce fighters, with thick skin and tough flesh. The punch left Xiao Yifei’s arm numb.
Having punched away one clansman, Xiao Yifei glared at the remaining brutes with fierce eyes, “Fists as big as a sandbag, scared yet?”
Ci Xin laughed from behind, “They can’t understand you. Finish quickly so we can help Zhang Po; that axeman is a tough nut to crack.”
Xiao Yifei understood, looked at Ci Xin behind him, and asked, “Are you sure you’re okay?”
“Don’t worry about . Though my condition is poor right now, these small fries can’t harm ; I can still protect myself.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yifei felt relieved, unleashed his full power, and dove into the crowd for a fierce brawl. In the anti, so clansn were also rushing toward Ci Xin with ferocious intent.
Although Ci Xin couldn’t use the Qi in her body temporarily, her movent technique was still agile as ever. She dodged the clan mbers’ attacks with a few swift moves, leading them to the other side of the square.
“Hurry, I’ll lure these ones away, you take care of the rest.”
Xiao Yifei nodded, and with a burst of green light enveloping his body, repelled several clansn pressing down on him. Using left and right hooks, he instantly took down two of them. anwhile, a clansman behind suddenly hugged Xiao Yifei. Xiao Yifei gave a low shout, broke free of the arms, turned around, and kicked another one away.
In the blink of an eye, only one clansman was left in the encirclent. Xiao Yifei noticed this one was different from the ones he had taken down before; others’ mouthguards were turquoise, but this one’s was light purple. Also, this clansman had a strange totem tattoo on his left arm and was more imposing than the others.
“Probably the security captain or sothing,” Xiao Yifei thought to himself.
Seeing Xiao Yifei so effortlessly take down his n, the clansman dared not attack rashly. Instead, he stood steady, staring fiercely at Xiao Yifei.
Xiao Yifei didn’t have ti to stare back. He leaped up, swinging a punch at the clansman’s face.
Unexpectedly, this security captain was not as reckless as the others. He sidestepped Xiao Yifei’s punch, braced his shoulder, and slamd into Xiao Yifei, sending him flying.
“Well, you know so kung fu.”
Xiao Yifei steadied himself, glancing sideways at Ci Xin on the other side of the square, who was now showing signs of fatigue. He knew if he didn’t end this fight soon, Ci Xin could be in danger. And there was still the axeman on the stone platform; who knew if Zhang Po could handle him.
With that thought, Xiao Yifei dared not delay. He summoned all his power, leaped towards the security captain, clamped his body with both arms, and drove his knee hard into the captain’s stomach.
The captain grunted in pain from the impact. Simultaneously, reddish light flared from his body, swelling to over two ters tall, breaking free from Xiao Yifei’s grip. He then swung his fist rcilessly at Xiao Yifei’s face.
Xiao Yifei was knocked flying; the punch left him dizzy. Heat surged in his abdon, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Ci Xin, seeing this happen, shouted to Xiao Yifei while running, “Be careful! That’s a cultivation technique of their tribe, which temporarily enhances their power—very troubleso.”
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Xiao Yifei thought, “Damn another cultivation technique! I should train in one myself when I get back.” He had heard Ci Xin speak of cultivation techniques before, so he dared not et force with force and retreated.
The security captain, now frenzied, doggedly pursued Xiao Yifei, pounding him relentlessly. Xiao Yifei grit his teeth, unable to confront him directly. Then he noticed a pile of bones underfoot, a spark of insight striking him, and he pretended to be overwheld, falling towards the bone pile. Seeing his attack taking effect, the captain pounced at Xiao Yifei.
Xiao Yifei seized the mont, rolling aside to reveal the jagged bones beneath. The captain, already mid-air and off-balance, couldn’t change his trajectory, helplessly watching as the bones pierced into his chest.
Thud!
The bones stabbed deep into the captain’s heart. He twitched a couple of tis then died.
“Well done, Xiao Yifei! Co help now!” Ci Xin called out urgently to Xiao Yifei upon seeing him finish off the security captain.
“On my way!” replied Xiao Yifei, darting to Ci Xin’s side and swiftly dispatching the few lackeys chasing her.
“Now it’s just the axeman left.”
Both Xiao Yifei and Ci Xin looked up to see Zhang Po and the axeman locked in an intense duel atop the stone platform. Zhang Po’s sword moves sliced through the air like a hot knife through butter; his longsword seed like an extension of his arm, each strike wrapped in piercing sword Qi, cutting through iron like mud with unmatchable speed, his movents trailing afterimages that astonished Xiao Yifei and Ci Xin.
The axeman was equally fierce, wielding his axe with the force of a gale. His wide-sweeping motions neutralized all of Zhang Po’s attacks. Maintaining his stance as firmly as Mount Tai, no matter how sharp Zhang Po’s sword Qi was, it couldn’t scratch the axeman. The two engaged in a fierce, relentless exchange.
“Let help you!”
“Ci Xin, wait here until Zhang Po and I take down the axeman, then we’ll get you out.” Xiao Yifei instructed Ci Xin before dashing toward the stone platform.
Just as Xiao Yifei was about to scale the platform, a deafening roar shook the air, causing the entire mountain wall to tremble.
Glancing back, he saw the clansn who had been pursuing him had doubled back. Dozens of them were filing out from the passageway where Xiao Yifei first entered. Upon seeing this scene, they all showed nacing expressions.
