A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5404

"Heads up!" Melvin's voice came from Leonel's head.

Leonel suddenly looked up, only to see Melvin forming seals with both hands. Dark soul mist churned around him, condensing into countless black Soul Needles that shot toward Leonel like a torrential rain.

Not daring to be careless, Leonel swung his sword, unleashing a wall of fire to block the attack.

The Soul Needles struck the wall of fire with a sizzling sound. The flames incinerated most, but a few still managed to pierce through and shoot toward Leonel.

Leonel quickly circulated his spiritual energy to shield his body. The Soul Needles hit the spiritual energy shield. Though they failed to break through, the impact caused Leonel's spiritual energy to become momentarily chaotic.

"Damn it! The soul is a nuisance!"

Snarling, Leonel sprang high. Both hands locked around the Blaze Sword's hilt as he brought it down in a cleaving motion. "Blaze Sword Technique, third form—Fire Dragon!"

A dragon of pure flame erupted from the blade, claws extended, heat distorting the very air as it lunged at Melvin.

Melvin only phased aside, body flickering into a blur. His fingers sealed another sign. "Soul Chain!"

From the swirling soul mist burst countless onyx chains and whipped toward the flaming dragon, coiling, constricting, seeking to choke its fire at the source.

The blazing dragon roared in fury. It thrashed through the Soul Chains, but they constricted it tighter.

The fire dragon stopped to struggle. It eventually got tied up by the Soul Chains and burst into small flames.

"What?"

Leonel's pupils contracted until they were pinpoints of pure disbelief.

Flame Dragon was his ultimate skill. Seeing Melvin counter it as though it were smoke left his lungs empty.

Melvin's calm baritone drifted through the arena. "Leonel, your sword technique is fierce, but it cannot touch me. Yield now, spare yourself the shame."

Leonel roared, voice hoarse. "Surrender? Not a chance!"

He sprang forward again, boots cracking the stone and hurling sparks.

Puff!
