A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5275

The instant Caleb's blade was about to kiss Jared, Jared moved. He did not unsheathe Dragonslayer Sword. Instead, he swayed his torso a fraction to the side. It was like willow leaves caught in a spring breeze, slow only to the eye, yet somehow fast enough to let steel slip past harmlessly. At the same time, he pressed his fore- and middle fingers together and flicked the surface of Caleb's blade.

Ding!

The note rang clear as crystal. A strange force hummed along the sword, numbing Caleb's wrist. The weapon kicked upward, no longer his to command.

Panic cracked across Caleb's face. He tried to pull back, but Jared was already there in a flash. His fingertips were haloed in pale gold, driving straight for Caleb's sword hand.

That single touch erased every escape Caleb had rehearsed. Instinct screamed. He let go of the hilt and staggered backward, desperate for distance.

Jared allowed none. He slid in half a step, right foot gliding after the left. His whole body seemed to merge with Caleb's shadow. Then his left hand came to rest, almost tenderly, on Caleb's shoulder.

“Thank you for the lesson.” Jared's voice was soft, almost courteous.

A gentle but irresistible force rolled through Caleb's body. He lurched forward three steps, very nearly pitching off the platform before he managed to steady himself. Only then did he realize Dragonslayer Sword still slept in its scabbard at Jared's waist. Color drained from his cheeks at the thought.

He didn't even draw his sword... and I already lost?

For a breathless beat, the arena fell utterly silent. No one believed what their own eyes had reported.

Then, the stands erupted in thunderous roars.

“That movement technique was as fast as lightning!”

“What finger technique can bat away an Earthly Immortal Realm sword technique?”

“Jared—now that's a swordsman!”

Lyra and the others leaped to their feet, shouting until their throats stung. Flaxseed slapped his thigh and cackled. “Told you the kid knows a thing or two!”
