Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3284

Cormac shouted, "Sheena, the gap between us was still far too wide. We were both martial gods, but even with my hands full, you were not qualified to act out of line!"

Then, he lifted Guillermo and Wesley half a body higher. After that, he twisted his body and took Sheena's twin palm strikes head-on with his back.

Sheena felt as if her palms had slammed into a mountain rather than a human body. Her face turned pale as she let out a muffled grunt, her arms trembling as she was blasted backward.

Nyx's pale blue shadow flickered rapidly through the air. With a sharp chime, she burst out from behind Sheena's retreating figure. Her glowing blue dagger shot straight toward Guillermo.

Cormac snorted coldly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Before anyone could see him move, a layer of hardened energy formed in front of his chest.

Nyx's dagger struck it, and she had to force its way through with great difficulty.

In the brief span of a breath, where masters clashed at lightning speed, they had already traveled more than ten yards.

Cormac, still holding two people, had already burst past Chetvine's city wall.

Nyx was momentarily shaken. "Holtrien really lives up to its reputation as a mysterious superpower. From this alone, it's clear their ancient martial artists are no weaker than the Western Dark Clans."

Anger aside, she immediately turned and gave chase.

Sheena did the same, gritting her teeth as she refused to let go and pursued beyond the wall.

Outside Chetvine, under the cover of night, another figure rapidly approached. Just the overwhelming aura rolling off him made it clear he was a powerhouse on Cormac's level.

A bold, booming laugh echoed across the night sky. The person said, "Your Lloyd royal family may throw your weight around inside Chetvine, but once you're outside for even half a step, it's all over!"

Cormac and Guillermo were overjoyed.

Guillermo in particular already knew who the newcomer was. It was another prominent expert of the Cavendish royal family.

With this man providing cover, Guillermo's survival was basically secured. It would be a heaven-defying feat to take his life now.

In an instant, he crossed the outer wall of Chetvine. Then, in a single step, he spanned over 500 yards and appeared above Cormac and the others.

A sword strike descended on them, seemingly shaking the heavens.

At first glance, it seemed ordinary. But as it fell, it became like the surging waters of a great river, endless and overwhelming, or like divine thunder descending to cleanse the world.

The man who had rushed over roared, "Dodge, now!"

There was no trace left of his earlier calm or bravado. Instead, his voice was filled with unprecedented gravity and even fear.

Nyx and Sheena's bodies trembled as joy surged through them. They did not need to see the man's face to know exactly who it was.

Bridget appeared beside the two women and also looked up at the tall figure in the sky.

Then, she smiled slowly and said, "You two can rest now. Well done. As expected of Andrew's people. You succeeded in holding them long enough for him to arrive and deal with everything."
