A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 1045

“That’s enough talking. Let’s kill him first.” Skylar did not want to take any chances, so he tightened his grip on his weapon and charged toward Jared once again.

Unlike what he did last time, Jared moved his body and evaded Skylar’s blade.

However, right after Jared dodged the swordsman’s attack, Karl assaulted him with terrifying martial energy.

Having timed Jared’s evasion, Karl intended to unleash his fury on his enemy before the man could find his footing.

As expected, Karl landed another hit and sent Jared flying yards away once again.

Jared’s face immediately turned because he knew he was in a tough spot.

Instead of trying to adjust his breathing again, Jared skillfully created a copy of himself with a flick of the wrist.

He repeated the movement until there were four copies of himself.

Not only did the duplicates look exactly like Jared, but they also had the same aura as his. Hence, it was impossible for Skylar or Karl to tell which was the real Jared.

Karl was stupefied as he stared at the five Jareds, while Skylar seemed unfazed. “So you’ve mastered Ichiro’s Nine Shadow Clones, huh? This trick may work on others, but not me.”

“Is that so? Let’s find out!”

Jared then charged toward Skylar with the first technique of Nine Shadows and unleashed five sword energies so powerful that they changed the color of the sky.

Skylar simply smirked as he readied the magic sword in his hand, for he was aware that he only had to deal with one of the sword energies because the others were just illusions.

All he had to was find the most powerful one and block it.

Unfortunately, Skylar was stunned when the sword energies rocketed toward him.

Whoosh!

The two threw several energy balls toward Jared, who clenched his teeth as he swung his weapon and sent out another five blows of sword energy to defend himself.

The instant the energies collided, a vicious explosion sounded, causing clouds of dust to cover the sky and block the sun as though a bomb had hit the place.

“Pfft!” Jared vomited a mouthful of blood before collapsing to the ground. He got so weak that even his illusions faded away.

Even though Jared’s shadow clones were actual threats, they had to depend on his spiritual energy because they came from his elixir field.

Since he had been injured, it was no longer possible for him to sustain the clones.

It was apparent that Jared, who had a sunken chest, got his ribs broken. At that point, the spiritual energy in his elixir field was close to none.
