A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5167

Saleto bit his lip and formed a rapid series of seals, barking with hollow bravado, “Hall Guardians, seize him!”

Before the echo of his shout faded, eight surging auras erupted from the four corners of the chamber. Eight Wandering Immortal Realm Level Eight guardians leapt forward, divine weapons gleaming, closing in on Jared in an eight-trigram formation. Their eyes were icy, their orders clear—kill all intruders.

“Eight small fry think they can stop me?” Jared chuckled softly; he could not even be bothered to draw his sword.

He flickered through the formation like a wraith. With every casual lift of his hand, a guardian screamed, flew backward, weapon shattering, spiritual veins snapping, crashing to the marble floor—fate uncertain.

Within mere heartbeats, the eight guardians lay ruined in a heap, limbs askew.

Saleto’s pupils contracted; all color drained from his face. How can anyone wield such terrifying might? Eight Wandering Immortal Realm Level Eight guardians—reduced to clay pigeons!

“W-Who are you really?” His voice quavered as he edged back, fingers sneaking toward the Storage Ring at his belt. “Do you understand the price of defying the Celestial Palace?”

“The price?” Jared advanced, eyes glittering like ice shards. “Ever since I crossed the Tenth Hall, I’ve understood the price.”

merge “Your tiny Seventh Hall, the whole Celestial Palace, the entire celestial race—push me far enough and I’ll erase every last one.”

“Such arrogance!”

Saleto whipped out a small golden banner. Stars were embroidered across its surface, and the cloth radiated cosmic power. “Jared, don’t overrate yourself. Taste my Stellar Banner!”

He swung the flag. Instantly, countless golden phantoms burst forth, howling as they flooded toward Jared. The very air thickened; heaven and earth changed color. This was Saleto’s trump card, once used to slaughter peers of equal strength.

Clang!

Saleto’s hand shook violently around the bare flagpole. Terror—raw and absolute—filled his eyes. A thousand years of blood and effort refining that magical item... yet it was destroyed by a single flick of his finger?
