Maybe if Xie hadn't told him to follow then, he'd have waited, made a plan, reconstituted and come after him with his power intact. But he would have come. Hell or high water, he would have come for him.
Then there is a hand around his throat and he chokes, eyes snapping wide.
He steps back onto a soft, and brings up the opposite arm to jam his fist into the crook of Xie's elbow.
At the same time he's trying to move, keep aware of the space, and to maneuvre so Xie is between himself and Mina.
But as long as Xie looks like he's winning, Mina is content to watch.
