A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5161

The crash of the shattered blades still echoed when a golden beam roared skyward from the hall, tearing through the brooding clouds.

Mid-air, it exploded into tens of thousands of shards that poured down like a torrential storm upon Jared and Everett.

Jared’s eyes flashed. He drew the Dragonslayer Sword without hesitation, its steel gleaming cold.

With a thunderous shout, he drove his spiritual energy to the limit, unleashing a matching storm of sword lights.

The twin tempests collided, drowning heaven and earth in blinding radiance as shockwaves ripped outward.

Stones tore free of the ground, whirled aloft, then slammed back to earth.

After that brief, ferocious clash, every sword light vanished, leaving only ruin behind.

Wasting no time, Jared dragged Everett inside the hall.

Yet once across the threshold, they found it utterly empty—save for broken pillars and shattered walls, not a soul remained.

“How is this even possible? That Ten Thousand Sword Array was strong enough to flatten a city—why is there no one around?” Everett blurted. His face had gone sheet-white, and the words trembled with naked confusion and fear.

Jared’s brows knitted so tightly they almost touched. His eyes swept the silent hall, every nerve on edge. He said quietly, “Someone is pulling the strings from the shadows. We just haven’t spotted them yet.”

While he spoke, he pushed his spiritual sense outward in a wide, invisible wave, hoping to sniff out the hidden master. As that probing consciousness glided through every corner, it brushed against something strange at the very heart of the chamber—a stone statue.

Clang!

Sparks sprayed everywhere. The impact slammed through Jared’s arms, a sledgehammer of force that left his hands numb. Damn, this thing hits harder than I expected!
