A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6206

He slowly drew his gaze back from the demon sun. Under his breath, he repeated the two names.

"Cloudhaven City... Jared..."

When the words fell, the corner of his mouth lifted.

The smile was faint and hard to read. Buried inside it was something nobody there could have made sense of—part of it leaned toward the thought of meeting an old acquaintance again, and part of it burned for a clash at the very Top Level.

"Good. Very good."

"I was already planning to go meet Jared myself," Skylar said, his voice even, though the satisfaction under it would not stay buried. "I didn't expect the Celestial Palace to make the first move and clear away a good number of nuisances for me. That saves me quite a bit of trouble."

He slowly turned around and looked at Darian, who was still bent in respect. His tone did not rise, but the order in it pressed down over everything else.

"Darian, gather every fighter in your Demon Dragon Lineage at once. Every adult Demon Dragon warrior, every demon general, every demon marshal. Assemble all of them and follow me to Cloudhaven City."

Darian paused, caught off guard. He looked up without thinking.

"Senior, we're going there... to save Jared?"

As far as Darian could tell, Skylar had never had any dealings with Jared.

If he was mobilizing the entire Demon Dragon Lineage now, then it should have been to help Jared and fight the Celestial Palace.

Skylar gave him a flat glance.

There wasn't a ripple in it, but Darian dropped his eyes at once and didn't dare say another word.

Then Skylar spoke, slow and cool. "Save him? No. What stands between Jared and me is beyond anything you could imagine. As for the people from the Celestial Palace..."

He stopped there for a beat.

A razor-thin contempt flashed through his eyes, as if the countless powerhouses of the Celestial Palace were nothing more than weeds under his feet.

"A bunch of pests in my way. If they block my road, I'll kill them. Jared is mine, and only I am allowed to kill him."

Darian's whole body tightened.

A chill seemed to crawl up from the bottom of him. He didn't dare question a single word. He bent down again at once and answered in a loud voice, "Yes! This junior will gather the Demon Dragon host immediately. In a moment, they'll be assembled outside the hall and waiting for your command, Senior!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Darian turned and strode out of the courtyard.

He didn't dare waste even a moment.

A short while later, above the Demon Dragon Hall, the long cry of the war horn rolled out low and fierce.

It punched through the thick demonic fog and spread across 10 thousand miles of the Demon Marches.

That horn call was the battle order of the Demon Dragon Lineage.

Ancient demonic sound was woven into it, and every note shook heaven and earth hard enough to set the blood of countless Demon Dragon warriors surging.

The instant the war horn sounded, dark red figures shot up from the mountain ranges surrounding the Demon Dragon Hall.

Some took human form. Others showed their true bodies outright.

One massive Demon Dragon after another climbed into the sky, their scales dark red, their vicious presence spilling in waves.

Their wings spread wide enough to blot out the light, and every beat of those wings kicked up violent wind and sent the demonic fog churning.

Packed together, the swarm of Demon Dragons became a dark red flood.

It surged forward in a vast, pounding wave toward Cloudhaven City. Everywhere it passed, the color of the sky shifted and demonic aura surged upward.

At the very front of that Demon Dragon army flew the supreme demon dragon, a giant beast 1,000 yards long, with scales like blood jade and horns glowing with a dim, eerie light.

It was a descendant of the ancestral dragon of the Demon Dragon Lineage. The pressure pouring off it far surpassed the rest of its kind, and it was Darian's bonded war dragon.

Skylar stood with his hands behind his back on top of the supreme demon dragon's head.

His black clothes moved in the wind. His face stayed calm as he looked toward Cloudhaven City in the distance, as if the slaughter waiting ahead were nothing more than a forgettable trip.

Josephine stood quietly beside him.
