A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5306

“Move aside! I am Kael Windham, young master of Sacred Sword Manor. Bring Jared Chance to me!”

Swords clanged and disciples barked orders as the arrogant voice cut through the commotion outside the gate.

Narrowing his eyes, Jared rose in unison with Lyra.

At the entrance stood a silk-robed youth who had just kicked two Sword Sect disciples into the dust. The man was Kael.

A dozen guards in black hovered behind him, their auras sharp and disciplined. They were in the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Word of Jared and Corin's injuries had emboldened Kael, and he had come to challenge the Sword Sect.

“Where's Jared? Hiding in like a coward?” Kael sneered.

His gaze finally landed on the approaching youth. “I thought you were dead,” he chuckled. “I heard the beating you took was pretty severe.”

Jared stepped in front of Lyra, energy coiling silently within him. “You've broken into our compound. State your business.”

He could sense that, though Kael was only a Fourth-level Earth Immortal, the sword intent radiating from him was razor-keen, the mark of countless hours of training.

Kael ignored Jared, eyes settling on Lyra with icy relish. “Lyra, we never settled our score. Care to duel now?”

“She will not duel!” Jared's voice cut across the courtyard.

Kael looked him up and down like inspecting an insect. “You're half-dead and still think you have a say? You killed Jayson. I haven't even avenged him.”

“Jayson died by my hand,” Jared said. “If you want vengeance, aim at me and see if you're capable of earning it.”

“Sharp tongue, aren't you?” Kael laughed, anger burning behind his smile.

“I didn't come for wordplay today,” he said, drawing his sword with a hiss that promised violence.
