Li Xiao's gaze turned grave. He swiftly swept aside the enemies around him and, in an instant, darted to Bai Ye's side.
"Brother Ye, sister-in-law, you two leave first later. We'll stay behind and cover your retreat."
Ghost Clown and Li You also quickly fell back to guard Bai Ye's sides.
"Brother Ye, leave these people to us. Save your strength for Azure Dragon and the Doctor."
Bai Ye and An Xiaotong exchanged a glance. Neither hesitated, and they immediately nodded.
Neither of them was the indecisive sort, so there was no way they would argue over who stayed behind.
Things like "I'm not leaving, you go!" or "If we die, we die together!" were words neither Bai Ye nor An Xiaotong would ever say.
They both knew this was the right choice.
The strongest fighters had to conserve their strength to deal with the final bosses behind the scenes, while everyone else cleared out the fodder. That was the only way to maximize their chances of victory.
"Xiao Tong, let's go!" Bai Ye was just about to break out with An Xiaotong.
Bang!!
A tremendous crash erupted as the heavy Inner City gates were smashed apart, sending shards of brick and stone flying.
Then, something happened that no one had expected.
Thick dust billowed from the shattered gate. Within it, a vast mass of ragged beggars poured in like a tide.
The same fervor burned in every beggar's eyes. One after another, they roared, their voices merging into a sea.
"Support White Lord!"
"Support White Lord!!"
The Apocalypse Remnants, whose loyalty had been planted by Wu De, had arrived on the battlefield!
Bai Ye, who had been holding An Xiaotong's hand, stopped in his tracks, his expression stunned.
Li Xiao and the others were the same, staring in astonishment
