Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 2598

Andrew followed up with three rapid palm strikes aimed directly at Jericho’s head. The latter was completely on the defensive, and one misstep sealed his fate. He was always a beat behind. The Inferno Strikes came in a relentless volley. Jericho barely managed to block the first two. The third strike landed solidly on his shoulder, but only because he had desperately twisted his head away at the last second to protect his face. The alternative would have been far worse. “Jericho!” Kairo bellowed, charging at Andrew like a madman.

Andrew completely ignored the assault, letting Kairo’s fist connect with his back. While a Martial Saint was powerful, strength was all about context. To the current Andrew, a Martial Saint’s attack was nothing worth worrying about. He grunted softly as the muscles in his back flexed and rippled, easily dispersing the force of the blow. Kairo was horrified, realizing just how tough Andrew was. Jericho had no time to draw his sword before Andrew’s next —- flurry of attacks was right in his face.

A fine sword was useless without the space to wield it, and he lacked Alfredo’s ability to control a blade with his mind He was forced into a close-quarters brawl with Andrew. Within moments, Andrew was spitting blood. However, Jericho was ina far worse state. His face was bruised and swollen, and he clutched his chest in agony. Andrew’s ferocity was simply overwhelming. He launched a sweeping kick that connected with Jericho’s head. Jericho’s eyes bulged wide. He pointed a trembling finger at Andrew, stammering, “Y-You…” before his eyes rolled back and he collapsed, unconscious.

Andrew spun around with blinding speed, evading a thrust from Kairo’s sword. He then slammed his palm against the flat of the blade. Kairo cried out in shock as the sword was knocked from his grip. Andrew leaped into the air, knees bent, and drove them down hard onto Kairo’s shoulders. A sickening cry was torn from Kairo as the force drove him to his knees, cracking the stone tiles beneath him. With a vicious grin, Andrew delivered a final, brutal punch —- straight to the top of Kairo’s head. Kairo did not even have time to grunt before he, too, was knocked out cold.

“Pathetic,” Andrew spat, ejecting a mouthful of bloody saliva, his expression still fierce. His lightning-fast assault had begun without warning, erupting like a volcano against the three Topsfield brothers. Landon and Kairo were trash, not even worth mentioning. But Jericho had been a real problem, which was why Andrew had focused the bulk of his attack on him. Once Jericho was down, dealing with Kairo was as easy as taking candy from a baby Despite his victory, Andrew was left panting heavily from the intense, unexpected fight.

Jericho was a genuine martial emperor, but Andrew’s explosive ambush had given him a decisive advantage. Andrew looked at his fists, feeling the ceaseless chum of energy within his core, and a satisfied smile spread across his face. He still was not a martial emperor, but compared to when he had fought Wilder, he was now in a completely different league. If they fought again, Andrew would easily defeat him The entire fight had been swift and sudden, over in a flash. Furthermore, nearly everyone in Swordhaven Keep was gathered at the Oathblade Platform, so the area was deserted.

That was why Andrew had chosen this spot, ensuring no witnesses and no —- additional complications. He quickly dragged the three unconscious brothers into a nearby room. He gagged them and sealed their meridians to ensure they could not escape or cause trouble. Once that was done, he stepped back outside. Without a moment’s delay, he set off at a run toward the Oathblade Platform. He now had bargaining chips to use against Alfredo. If Alfredo dared to kill Sheena, then Andrew would make sure his three sons died first.
