Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 447

Chapter 447 Below the ring , Andrew nodded slightly .

Jerrys arrogance was backed by real skill , but unfortunately , the martial arts path was like a mighty river flowing into an endless ocean- there were always greater depths to discover .

Ivan finally moved , transforming from his mountain like stillness into explosive action .

His classic internal martial arts technique concentrated all his power into a single point , channeling his energy like a surging tide before releasing it like a dragons strike .

Then , a dull thud echoed through the arena .

Jerrys palm strike connected with Ivans chest , but Ivans counter strike to Jerrys abdomen was even faster .

Blood gushed out from Jerrys mouth as he staggered back three steps , his face pale as paper and filled with shock .

Meanwhile , Ivan stood unmoved , wearing a look of disdain .

He commented , The Octa Palm technique flows like a swimming dragon , fluid and adaptable .

Too bad youve only scratched the surface of what your master created .

Ivan walked toward Jerry step by step .

Jerry clutched his stomach and roared , Who are you ? How did you master internal martial arts to such a degree ? I told you , youre not worthy of knowing my name , Ivan replied coldly .

Jerry let out a battle cry and charged forward despite his injuries , unleashing the full extent of his Octa Palm technique .

However , the only response was the sound of impacts echoing through the air Ivan remained completely unharmed .

Every one of Jerrys attacks was blocked and countered brutally .

The sleeves of Jerrys jacket had been completely shredded , revealing arms covered in bruises .

Surrender and get out now , or you might die , Ivan warned in a low voice .

Unable to accept defeat , Jerry shouted with bloodshot eyes , No ! I cant lose to some nobody like you ! Ivan responded with a cold grunt before driving his shoulder and elbow forward in a devastating strike .

There was a sickening thud as Jerrys chest caved in .
