Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3308

"Andy, we probably can't step in," Jerome said quickly as he watched Andrew's back.

Andrew did not turn around and only replied calmly, "Don't worry. Just stay farther back."

Godslayer left its sheath as Andrew gripped the sword with both hands and charged forward in a brutal assault.

The massive black-and-crimson sword arc slammed straight into the sword energy empowered by Rupert's mountain defense formation.

Everyone's vision was instantly flooded with blinding white light, so intense that they could not open their eyes.

When the light faded, Andrew had switched to holding his sword single-handed, legs spread apart, having slid back only about 30 feet. However, that was all. He himself was completely unharmed.

"It seems the Thunder Sect's mountain defense formation is nothing special after all," Andrew said flatly as he lifted his greatsword and straightened up.

Rupert, suspended in midair, laughed coldly, "Don't be hasty. That was just an appetizer. The real show is still to come."

Andrew stared at him coldly, "In a moment, I'll make you watch yourself kneel."

Rupert flew into a rage. "You're welcome to try."

With a cold snort, his heavy sword slashed down again. The thousand disciples danced their swords in unison, releasing another thousand sword energies.

The Thunder Sect mountain defense formation had ferocious power. Even a peak martial god could not withstand it head-on and could only temporarily avoid its edge.

Fundamentally, its formidable nature lay in this: it was enhanced by the sword energy of 1000 disciples, then gathered together, turning trickling streams into raging torrents.

Andrew's eyes turned icy cold as he gripped Godslayer and charged directly into the air. Before the second wave of formation sword energy could arrive, he had already slashed three consecutive strikes wildly around him.

The massive sword beams formed a semicircle, crashing into Thunder Sect from all directions.

However, a gleaming translucent barrier slowly appeared and effortlessly dissolved Andrew's attacks.

Rupert laughed heartily, "Andrew, it's useless. Thunder Sect formation excels at both offense and defense. With you alone, you have no choice but to struggle like a cornered beast."

Andrew once again faced the overwhelming surge of sword energy. He chose not to meet it head-on but instead kept flashing through the air, leaving trails of afterimages behind him.

Yet, the energy sword formed by those thousand sword energies pursued relentlessly. In an instant, it shattered the afterimages Andrew had left behind. Then, it exploded with a thunderous blast.

He swung his heavy sword wildly in place.

The Thunder Sect disciples roared in unison and unleashed countless sword energies once more.

Guided by Rupert, the attacks surged toward Andrew again.

Two muffled thunderous explosions rang out one after another.

The first was Andrew's Primordial Thunder strike. Dark red lightning tore violently across the surface of the translucent barrier.

The barrier bulged outward in a massive arc. It looked like stretched flesh on the verge of tearing apart as dense red lightning crackled across its surface.

Yet even so, the barrier did not shatter.

Meanwhile, Rupert's attack had already arrived.

Andrew spun his greatsword wildly in front of him, forming a circular defensive blur. In the end, he clashed head-on with the incoming sword energies and was pushed backward, sliding continuously toward the Thunder Sect's mountain gate.
