---- Chapter 3248 Andrew mmed forward with both palms, each strike carrying crushing force. nking sounds echoed, as if he were striking solid steel. Pablo puffed out his chest and took every hit head-on without retreating Andrew pulled back and stepped away twice. However, the opponent reacted instantly, reaching out and forcing Andrew to duck and spin. Suddenly, Andrew''s right leg snapped upward, and his knee smashed forward. Pablo staggered back three steps in a row. Each step cracked the ground beneath him, leaving several deep craters behind. "No wonder Nate was no match for you.


    Even setting aside cultivation levels, yourbat instincts alone are the finest I have seen in my entire life," Pablomented. His entire body had already transformed, his skin turning into something like gold-ted steel. His gaze fixed on Andrew, his voice was low and heavy. He added, "But from here on, I will fight at full strength." ---- Andrew raised one hand into a fist, and the other hand ttened into an open palm. "Patriarch Pablo, go ahead." Pablo snorted and strode forward. He suddenly lifted his leg and brought it crashing down toward Andrew''s head.


    At the same time, he rubbed his palms together,pressing a mass of golden energy smaller and smaller. As Andrew dodged the crushing kick, the condensed st of energy shot straight at him. He let out a low shout and threw a punch straight ahead. A massive shockwave erupted from the point of impact and mmed into Andrew''s chest. He grunted and stumbled backward again and again. Pablo moved at an unbelievable speed, shooting forward in a blur. Then, using his elbows, fists, palms, knees, and feet ina constantly shifting barrage, heunched a dense storm of attacks around Andrew.


    Andrew''s face remained icy cold, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Yet, he refused to give ground and drove his elbow forward in return. His kicks chained together, sometimes striking upward, sometimes sweeping sideways, as he engaged Pablo in close-quartersbat. Suddenly, a sharp tearing sound rang out as Andrew''s clothes ---- shattered. His exposed body was covered in blood Pablo''s Diamond Body Art had reached its peak Even though Andrew''s physical body had been tempered to an inhuman level, it still could not match this absolute defense.


    At the far end of the long street, a figure strode forward. Philip arrived, sneering coldly. "Patriarch Pablo, you''re showing up uninvited like this. I never expected someone of your stature to do such a thing. Have you forgotten that Chetvine is mine and Guillermo''s territory? Your home turf is in the Hearsnds. You doing this puts me ina very difficult position!" Pablo pushed both hands forward, then suddenly transformed his palms into fists mid-motion. Storm clouds gathered on his fists, exploding with two sharp cracks.


    Andrew retreated again, and the blood in his mouth finally dripped down uncontrobly. However, his aura kept increasing without diminishing "again!" Andrew roared as battle lust surged through him Every part of his body became a lethal weapon. He continuously struck Pablo''s metallic form, but his opponent seemed to have no weak points. ---- Pablo''s Diamond Body Art had reachedplete coverage. Apart from being forced back by Andrew''s strikes, Pablo remainedpletely unharmed. Philip saw this clearly. He also knew that if the fight continued, Andrew would inevitably be at a disadvantage.


    Thus, he said gravely, "Patriarch Pablo, if you don''t stop, I won''t be so polite anymore. You know very well who Andrew is. Both our military and the Divine Dragon Order have ced our hopes on him. If you want to destroy him, we won''t stand idly by." As he blocked Andrew''s attacks, Pablo replied coldly, "Of course, I know the military''s choice. But the Hearst family also has its own position to protect. Guillermo has already been backed into a corner in Chetvine by this young man.


    If this continues, my family will be forced down the same road as the Divine Alchemists,pletely driven out of Chetvine. The military chooses him as its hope, but does that mean the Hearst family must give up its own interests?" Philip shook his head. "Some conflicts have been building for thousands of years. I know words are useless now. Since that is the case, Patriarch Pablo, I have no choice but to make you stay in Chetvine."
