A Man Like None Other novel Chapter 2239

Chapter 2239 Breakthrough

Witnessing the Spirit Connecting Tree withering before his very eyes, Elgado came to a realization.

1 can't believe he's draining power from the Spirit Connecting Tree!

It finally occurred to him that Jared was attempting to claim the strength of the Spirit Connecting Tree as his own.

After all, the energy within Spirit Connecting Tree was far more potent than any Spirit Connecting Fruit could ever offer.

No, he'll never attain yet another breakthrough—not on my watch!

Elgado let out a holler so deafening that clouds of black mist emerged and engulfed his body. Immediately afterward, he barreled in the crater's direction.

As he charged ahead, leaves fell from above and whirled past him, triggering fiery sparks of light. Still, nothing could halt his advance at that point.

Skyler, in turn, could somewhat tell what Elgado was up to. Putting her own life on the line, she gripped the sword firmly and darted toward him. Petals began riding the air current and cut her skin like a saber. Nonetheless, she showed no signs of backing down.

She had her heart set on buying Jared some time, no matter how fleeting that moment would come to be.

The sword in her hand transformed into a spirit snake and pounced on Elgado.

The latter, though, could not even be bothered to spare her a glance. “Hmph! What an insolent fool...”

With a flick of his fingers, Skyler was flung away into the distance like a kite with a broken thread.

There was not a snowball's chance in hell that she would get to hold Elgado back even for a split second, not with the huge gap in strength between the two of them.

Soon enough, Elgado reached the crater, only to find that Jared was sitting cross-legged inside and that his body was radiating with a golden light.

With bloodshot eyes, he pinned his gaze on Jared and bellowed, “I won't let you make a comeback!”

Right after dropping that threat, he thrust a palm strike toward the bottom of the crater. A gigantic palmprint shrouded by black mist materialized in mid-air. It was so massive that it could cover the entire surface of the crater.
