A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6147

Luther and Grace looked at each other, and then both of them pulled back the aura they had been using to hide themselves and hurried after him, flying toward the summit of Sacred Mountain.

Ghostly energy spread from Luther again, black as night. Against Jared's golden celestial radiance, the contrast was sharp and striking.

Grace held a long green sword in her hand. A faint celestial glow ran along the blade, and she stayed on guard, ready for anything that might suddenly happen.

"Who goes there?"

The Celestial Palace soldiers around the altar spotted them at once. A junior captain of the Celestial Palace at the front barked out the shout, his voice packed with killing intent and caution.

More than a thousand Celestial Palace soldiers turned their heads together.'

Countless cold eyes swept over at once, like a forest of icy blades aimed straight at Jared and the other two.

Their killing intent exploded in the same instant. Joined together, it became a huge torrent that bore down on the three of them.

Jared ignored the shouted demand completely. He paid no attention to that massive wave of killing intent either.'

He kept flying forward at the same pace, neither hurried nor slow, his face calm as if those Celestial Palace soldiers and all that killing intent had nothing to do with him.

His pace stayed steady. His gaze stayed cold.'

It was as if the whole world had narrowed down to him alone, the coffin in front of him, and the thing he had come here to finish.

The junior captain's face darkened, and something harsh flashed through his eyes.

Jared and the others had treated them with open contempt. They had ignored their presence and trampled the Celestial Palace's authority, and the killing intent in him surged even harder.

He threw his hand forward and shouted, "You reckless fools! How dare you break into Sacred Mountain of the Celestial Palace? You're asking to die! Take them down! Kill them on the spot!"

At his command, hundreds of Celestial Palace soldiers moved at once. They unleashed the Celestial Palace's techniques together, and countless streaks of light burst from their hands, carrying immense force as they blasted toward Jared and the other two from all sides.

The attacks came so densely they covered the sky, turning it black as if they meant to swallow the three of them whole.

Luther's face changed, and he moved to block them at once, but Jared lifted a hand and stopped him.

Jared still stood there with his hands behind his back.'

Then, almost casually, he raised one hand. He used no complicated technique at all. He didn't even draw much celestial energy. He only lifted it lightly.

Boom!

An invisible force burst from his palm in an instant.'

It looked light. Barely there. But the power inside it felt endless, like the weight of heaven and earth crashing down with nothing that could stop it.

The spells blasting toward him exploded the moment they touched that invisible force.'

They shattered all at once, broke into specks of black light, and vanished into the air without leaving behind a trace, as if they had never existed at all.

And the hundreds of Celestial Palace soldiers charging in front looked like they had run straight into an invisible mountain.'

Their bodies locked up on the spot. Everything on their faces froze, and their eyes went wide with disbelief.

Then the screams ripped out of them.'

Their bodies flew backward like kites with their strings cut, and before they had even finished being thrown through the air, blood was already pouring from their mouths in great sprays. It splashed red across the sky and struck the rocks along the mountain, bursting into one glaring blood flower after another.
