Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

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 .

What an embarrassing move ! Let me teach you what happens when you play with fire .

With a booming stomp , Gordons foot slammed into the ground , causing the entire platform to tremble .

In an instant , he launched himself forward like a spinning top , closing the gap between them with terrifying speed .

His skeletal hand shot out like a claw , and before Rodney could react , Gordon had him by the throat .

There were two sickening cracks as Rodneys face turned a deep purple , struggling for air .

Gordon lifted him off the ground effortlessly , holding him up like a ragdoll for everyone to see .

The crowd erupted in panic and disbelief .

No one had expected Rodney , a top fighter from Madblade Martial Academy , to be defeated so easily .

Who is this old man ? His strength is terrifying ! This is bad ! If Rodney falls , will the entire Madblade Martial Academy be wiped out ? I cant believe the Stevens family had someone like this hidden away .

Theyve been playing the long game all along ! Even Dylan and Natasha , powerful in their own right , realized how far below Gordons level they were .

The onlookers shifted their gazes toward the Stevens family , now filled with fear and respect .

Aspens eyes gleamed with a cruel light as she sneered .

Mr.

Woods , dont kill him just yet .

I want to mutilate him first and then watch him suffer to death .

Gordon cackled , his voice rasping like a rusty hinge .

Hes just a bug , but if you want to play with him , Ill let you .

Here , have fun .

Rodney crashed to the ground , blood spurting from his mouth as he gasped desperately for air .
