Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 586

Chapter 5 86 Chapter 586 You must have a death wish , old man ! Rodney sneered , watching Gordon stretch nonchalantly .

Gordon glanced up at him with a twisted grin .

Young man , trying to provoke me before the fight even starts ? Clever move , but it wont change the outcome youll still die .

Rodneys face tensed , but he smirked coldly .

You want my life ? Well see if you have what it takes .

With a low growl , Rodney charged forward , closing the distance in two powerful strides .

He executed a low sweeping kick aimed at Gordons legs , trying to break his balance .

Andrew stood between Lauren and Francesca , shaking his head slightly .

Rodney sure lives up to his reputation as the heir of Madblade Martial Academy .

His strategy is leagues better than what guys like Harvey would come up with .

However , against absolute strength , strategy wont matter .

Gordons hunched figure , with a large lump on his back , made him seem slow and physically limited .

Rodneys choice to target his legs first seemed smart if he could disrupt Gordons balance , he would have a chance to land a finishing blow .

To Andrew , the tactic was sound .

The problem was that Gordons power completely overshadowed Rodneys .

Rodneys kick struck Gordons knee , and dust kicked up slightly .

However , Gordon remained rooted like a stone pillar .

His frail looking frame , barely over five feet tall , stood immovable , shocking the onlookers .

Gasps echoed through the crowd .

Rodneys face flushed red , and he almost screamed in pain .

His leg throbbed as if he had struck solid metal , already swelling from the impact .

Your body … its insanely tough ! Rodney stammered , quickly retreating to put some distance between them .

Gordon let out a sinister laugh .
