Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3307

Julius stood up and left without another word, yet for some reason, a faint sense of unease lingered in his chest.

Once he was gone, Rupert's expression turned icy, and there was even a trace of disdain in his eyes.

He sneered, "That stray dog crawled over from the Western Regions and still dares to put on airs in my territory. If it weren't for the Divine Alchemists still being somewhat useful, I wouldn't even bother cooperating with him."

Ancient sects were never truly united to begin with. Even in peaceful times, they despised each other and fought to the death behind the scenes.

"Eren should be back by now," Rupert muttered under his breath.

He had sent Eren to Mount Lourneau to keep watch, just in case Luther secretly made contact with Andrew.

At that moment, a disciple rushed in to report.

"Mr. Hudson, Eren has returned, and he has fallen into the hands of the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince."

Rupert narrowed his eyes but did not panic. "Are you saying the Lloyd family's Dragon Prince is here as well?"

The disciple nodded repeatedly. "He is here."

Rupert quickly asked, "How many did they bring? Five thousand?"

The disciple shook his head. "No. He only brought a few people."

Rupert was stunned, then burst into hearty laughter. "Excellent! Since this boy doesn't know when to quit and delivered himself to our doorstep, Thunder Sect will settle all old and new grudges with him at once! Someone, prepare to activate the mountain defense formation. I'll personally kill this little thief!"

Not long after Andrew and his group entered the Thunder Sect's mountain gate, they felt the stone slabs beneath their feet shake violently. Immediately after, more than 1000 Thunder Sect disciples rushed out from the main hall, each holding a sword and radiating killing intent.

They quickly spread out in an orderly manner across the massive plaza in front of the hall. Soon after, they formed a strange and ominous formation.

Nyx asked, "Could this be the Thunder Sect's defense formation that Mr. Johnton mentioned?"

Andrew said nothing and simply carried his greatsword forward.

A loud shout echoed across the plaza. "Andrew, the Thunder Sect does not welcome you. If you take one more step forward, you'll die where you stand."

Andrew stopped and looked at the speaker with a calm, expressionless face.

Andrew did not move an inch.

However, Rupert felt his blood churn violently inside his body. His earlier sword strike had been completely neutralized by Andrew, and the rebounding force made his entire body uncomfortable.

Rupert thought grimly, 'This kid really is terrifyingly strong. No wonder no one in Chetvine could stop him, and even Guillermo suffered at his hands…'

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he took a deep breath and raised his heavy sword vertically before his forehead.

"Disciples of Thunder Sect, heed my command! Activate the mountain defense formation! All outsiders are to be killed without mercy!"

The thousand disciples swung their swords in unison. Countless sword energies crisscrossed and danced into the air.

Rupert's entire body was wreathed in a massive sword of light. He swept up all those thousand sword energies together. Then he turned, and his heavy sword slammed down toward Andrew.

A colossal sword arc, formed from the combined power of a thousand disciples, crashed down like a collapsing mountain toward Andrew.

Nyx and the others immediately retreated in shock, their hearts pounding at the sight.
