Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3180

Andrew snorted, his face full of disdain. "In the end, you're still afraid of death. Or perhaps the idea of never wielding a sword again, of letting Swordhaven Keep be ridiculed for all time. That's a blow you simply can't withstand."

He added coldly, "For a swordsman, to be honest, your backbone isn't all that tough."

Alfredo gave a bitter laugh. "I have nothing to say for my defeat. In this lifetime, I'm likely no match for you or Reginald. Living on holds little benefit for me now.

"But Andrew, you can't destroy Swordhaven Keep! Holtrien's sword path relies on Swordhaven Keep for its legacy. If you wipe us out, one of the ancient eight sects of Holtrien will be lost forever!"

Andrew raised an eyebrow. "Swordhaven Keep is one of the ancient eight sects?"

Alfredo endured the pain and said, "That's right! The torch of the sword path has always been passed down by Swordhaven Keep, by us, the Topsfield family! The Topsfield family is the heir of the ancient Sword Sect!"

Andrew made an acknowledging sound and nodded. "Alright then, consider this your last words. I don't care about the ancient eight sects' legacy! That's that, Mr. Topsfield Senior, I'm sending you to meet your maker!"

Alfredo's eyes widened, filled with terror. "No!"

Andrew's great sword plunged into the ground beside his head, and a huge crack appeared.

If it had been even an inch closer, Alfredo's life would have ended on the spot.

"I will be waiting for you in Chetvine, at the Lloyd royal family's ground," Andrew said calmly as he pulled up Godslayer.

He added, "A new war between the Eastern and Western continents is about to erupt, and the ancient grudges are about to resurface. Swordhaven Keep, I order your entire sect to join the war. Of course, you can choose not to come. In that case, I'll personally return to the Eastern Regions and annihilate the Topsfield family."

With those cold words, Andrew left with his people.

Outside the gates, the disciples of Swordhaven Keep were terrified and quickly made way for Andrew. Not a single person dared to make a sound.

His eyes bloodshot and full of venom, he cursed, "Reginald, I couldn't defeat you. Now, Andrew has completely crushed me. Dear Gods, why are you so cruel to me? Why?"

After wailing for a while, Alfredo grew tired. While others stopped his bleeding, he contacted Guillermo, who was in Chetvine.

"Mr. Topsfield Senior, have you finally come to your senses and decided to come over?" Guillermo laughed on the other end.

Alfredo's face was deathly pale as he gritted his teeth. "My retribution just passed. Now yours is about to come. Andrew has returned to Holtrien carrying unstoppable killing intent. I won't participate in any of your schemes and plans. Whatever the hell you want to do is your business. From now on, whatever you're up to, I won't be playing along again!"

Guillermo asked urgently, "Are you injured? How strong is that little bastard now?"

Alfredo hung up directly. His arm was ruined. Right now, he had only temporarily stopped the bleeding and still needed to get proper treatment. He had no time to waste words with Guillermo.
