A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 6368

"Sir, do we keep moving?" the cultivator behind him asked.

Lucian said nothing for a moment.

Then he gave a nod. "Keep moving. The High Sovereign said it himself. Alive, we find the person. Dead, we find the corpse."

The group moved again, surging toward the ice gorge.

Lucian stayed at the very front.

The instant he stepped into the gorge, his stride hitched.

That warning rose in him again.

This place wasn't right.

But when he looked around, he found nothing.

There was only ice on the walls.

Only snow on the ground.

Only wind in the air.

"Keep going." He flicked a hand forward.

All thirty-seven celestial warriors filed in one after another and entered the gorge.

The formation wound deeper through the gorge.

Golden holy radiance washed over the ice walls until they shone bright from end to end.

Lucian remained in front, his eyes moving across the surroundings with tight caution.

A golden longsword rested in his hand, and blinding holy radiance flowed across the blade.

The moment the last celestial cultivator stepped into the gorge, Jared moved.

Jared rose from the ice plains outside the gorge entrance.

Purple chaotic force flowed around him, and the concealment over his aura fell away completely.

His eyes were violet.

In his pupils, it looked as if stars were slowly turning.

The Dragonslayer Sword was in his hand.

Purple chaos-flame ran along the blade.

"Attack!"

His voice rolled through the gorge like thunder breaking overhead.

Gwendolyn shot out from the ice wall on the left.

Ice-blue divine radiance surged from her and turned into an ice wall, sealing the gorge entrance shut.

The ice wall towered dozens of yards high and stretched several yards thick.

Dense Ice-Seal sigils flowed across its surface, packing the entrance tight with no gap left at all.

Alaric Winterborne burst out from the ice wall on the left.

His ice-blue blade-flare slashed down at the gorge exit and sealed it off.

The blade-flare spread into a screen of light.

Elder runes of the Frost Deity Branch moved across it, closing the exit so completely not even a crack remained.

Elara Winterborne and Cedric Winterborne rushed out from the ice wall on the right.

The ice whip and the ice spear struck at the same time, activating the warding sigils embedded in the ice walls on both sides of the gorge.

Icy blue radiance lit up across the ice walls.

In an instant, it covered the entire gorge.

The thirty-seven celestial warriors were trapped inside the gorge.

They could neither advance nor retreat.

Lucian's face changed. "An ambush! Form ranks!"

The thirty-seven celestial warriors moved at once and formed ranks.

Golden holy radiance streamed around them and gathered into a great golden shield.

The light-shield had five layers.

Every single layer contained the celestials' supreme laws of the realm.

Jared walked in from the gorge entrance.

One step after another, unhurried and steady.

His footsteps echoed through the gorge.

Each step landed like it was stomping straight onto the chests of the celestial cultivators.

Purple chaotic force coiled around him.

That glow wasn't violent. It was still, like a sleeping dragon curled in silence.

Lucian's pupils shrank. "You... who are you?"

Jared gave him no answer.

He raised the Dragonslayer Sword.

Purple chaos-flame burned along the blade.

The flame burned so hot the air around it started to twist.

Ice on the walls began to melt, turning into beads of water that slid down the frozen surface.

"Kill him!" Lucian roared.
