A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5402

Once inside the group, Jared eased Yuliana down. Aurelius barked an order. Seconds later, a pouch of healing pills was pressed into Yuliana's palm.

She swallowed one. Gentle spiritual energy steadied in her veins, yet her eyes never left the battlefield.

The black-robed man was speechless after Jared dissed him. He was furious but did not dare to confront Jared. He vented his anger toward the cultivators. "You are all cowards! You got carried away after one win! Who wants to sacrifice themselves?" the black-robed man roared.

His taunt pierced the assembled cultivators. The brief spark of morale Yuliana's victory had won guttered in the breeze.

Niall's face flushed crimson. He lurched forward, only for comrades to yank him back. His energy was still shredded, another duel would be suicide.

A rich, booming laugh rolled over the hush. "A demon brat mouthing off? Allow me to teach him manners!"

A silhouette clad in blazing crimson vaulted from the rear ranks. He landed at center field with the fury of wildfire, sending a ring of dust spiraling skyward.

The man emerged from the swirling dust in a fitted coat of crimson leather. A massive saber rested against his hip, its ridged back as wide as a man's palm. A reckless grin lit his face. It was Leonel Hackett, third on the Martial Rankings, known everywhere as the Blaze Sword.

"That's Leonel Hackett!"

A wave of cries climbed the slope. "Number Three on the Martial Rankings is finally taking action!"

"He reached the Earthly Immortal Realm Level Nine years ago. He's stronger than Yuliana. The black-robed Demonic Cultivator is dead meat!"

"Good! Somebody's about to humble those arrogant Demonic Cultivators!"

Hope flared through the gathered cultivators, their whispers turning to eager anticipation. Even Aurelius's tight jaw loosened. Relief stole across his features.

Within the younger generation of level six, Leonel's savagery was legendary. His Blaze Sword Technique once cleaved a thousand-foot cliff in half—a power Niall could only dream of matching.

The black-robed man felt the weight of Leonel's aura, and his eyes sharpened, yet his mouth stayed brash. "Another fool rushing to die? Perfect! I'll finish you along with the rest."

Leonel barked a laugh. "Enough chatter. Time to wager your life!"

Clang! Sparks burst. The dark blades spun away, their demonic aura devoured instantly by Heaven Blazing Flame.
