A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 5884

"Escorts! Fight!" Elliot roared while holding the shield array intact.

However, the escorts cultivation level was lower than the Flame Dragon's. They did not dare to fight.

"Damn it! This thing is way above our pay grade!"

An escort turned to run. "I prefer my life more than money. I quit!"

Then, the other escorts followed.

They did not want to risk their lives for Earthfire Pavilion.

Facing the invincible Flame Dragon, escape was the best option.

Vermilion Demon Lord glanced at Jared and asked, "Shall we run as well?"

Jared's gaze locked on the Flame Dragon, then to the Earthfire Pavilion disciples. He saw Elliot was guarding Lindsay.

"Get to safety first," Jared said, voice calm. "Wait for me."

Vermilion Demon Lord's brow furrowed. "You want to save them? The Flame Dragon is at Top Level Heavenly Immortal Realm Level Nine! Even if you give it your all, you wouldn't defeat it!"

"I know." Jared's tone softened, yet remained firm. "But I promised to protect her."

By her he meant Lindsay.

After studying Jared for several seconds, Vermilion Demon Lord sighed. "Fine. Just stay alive. If it gets hopeless, run."

He turned to leave since the Earthfire Pavilion was none of his concern.

Down in the basin, the shield array was weakening.

Crack!

A fissure appeared on the shield.

"Elder, the shield's giving way!" a disciple cried. Blood sprayed from his lips as he collapsed.

Clenching his teeth, Ferdinand crushed a Crimson Jade Talisman between his palms.

The talisman flared, spreading a fresh red film over the broken shield, but it would last only moments.

"Elliot, take Lindsay and go! I'll handle the rest!" Ferdinand shouted.

"Elder…" Elliot hesitated, his voice tight.

"Leave now!"

Ferdinand spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the ruby set atop his staff. The gem blazed, hungry for power.

The ruby exploded in a burst of blinding light. From that radiance uncoiled a python forged entirely of living flame, rushing toward the Flame Dragon.

Elliot clenched his teeth. He caught Lindsay's wrist and yanked her close. "Lindsay, we have to move now!"

"But what about the elder..." She twisted, trying to look back toward the battlefield.

"If you hesitate, we're both dead!" Elliot hauled her toward the basin's entrance.

The flame dragon's golden eyes flicked away and pinned the fleeing pair.

Or rather, it fixed on Lindsay. Her pristine, concentrated fire spirit aura attracted the Flame Dragon.

Roar!

One molten talon shredded the fiery python. In the same breath, the dragon's tail swept sideways and hurled Ferdinand against a wall.

The dragon turned over. Its golden eyes narrowed on Lindsay, and its jaws opened wide to disgorge a second plume of golden fire.
