Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 1715

Xavier's spin came to an abrupt stop. For a second, he could not believe what had just happened.

The technique he was using, Shifting Stars, had been praised by Luna herself as an unbreakable stance. So, how had Andrew managed to counter it?

There was no time to dwell on it. Xavier flipped upright and immediately swung his arm toward Andrew's face. This was an extremely clever defensive move, attacking the enemy's weak point to force the opponent to withdraw their attack.

Nonetheless, Andrew's assault was far beyond Xavier's comprehension. The Dragon-Slaying Palm struck his shoulder, and the sound of torn flesh immediately echoed through the air.

Xavier's swing also happened to reach Andrew's face at that exact moment. If Andrew did not dodge or defend, he would definitely end up with a bloodied head.

However, something shocking happened. Everyone, especially Leslie, froze in shock.

Xavier's swing stopped just inches from Andrew's nose and pulled back.

Some soldiers who could not understand what was happening blurted out, "What's going on?"

Leslie's gaze shifted downward, and her eyes immediately widened.

Xavier had not withdrawn his attack. Instead, his body was being controlled by Andrew, forced to twist against his will. Leslie had only seen such bold and meticulous tactics from Luna herself before.

However, Luna's martial arts were truly monstrous, genius-level. Even Joe, the top prodigy of the Driscoll family, was slightly inferior to her.

It was perfectly normal for her to execute such precise maneuvers.

So, who the hell was Andrew to pull off something like that?

A pained groan escaped from Xavier's mouth, and half of his body had gone numb.

Andrew's attack had traveled from his shoulder all the way down to his wrist. The path of his attack left behind a trail of shattered ligaments and burst blood vessels.

"Let go!" Xavier roared, suppressing his screams of agony. With his other arm, he swung down in a heavy chop.

Andrew sneered, grabbing his arm and spinning around. Xavier's counterattack missed entirely, slicing through empty air.

He roared again and launched another strike, but Andrew used the momentum to spin him in place.

Again, Xavier missed. Rage instantly overwhelmed him.
