Although Jared was unable to resist when he encountered an ambush, he had no problem walking.
“You’ve certainly made progress, brat. Even when poisoned, you were still able to take down so many people,” Vermilion Demon Lord praised Jared.
Jared wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, managing a wry smile. “These people have been poisoned too. Even though they’ve taken detoxification pills, their bodies are still affected by poison. These toxins were diminishing their strength. They just hadn’t realized it yet. Otherwise, there’s no way I could have taken these people down so effortlessly.”
Back then, Jared had that pill, which shielded his body from any poisoning. Meanwhile, at that very moment, Vincent and the others had fallen victim to the invading toxins.
In addition, due to Jared’s unique physical condition, even if he were poisoned, the spread of the toxin would be slow.
This led to a situation where, despite Vincent and others taking the detoxification pills, the poison continued to spread, causing their strength to decline steadily.
In this way, Jared had the upper hand, managing to swiftly eliminate those people while they got carried away.
“All right. You better leave this misty area quickly. I don’t want to watch you get poisoned to death here” Vermilion Demon Lord remarked.
Jared gave a slight chuckle, then, using his Dragonslayer Sword as a makeshift cane, he began to stride forward, one step at a time.
Just after Jared had taken two steps forward, Viola’s shout echoed. “Jared!”
At that moment, Viola and the others were rushing toward Jared.
Upon seeing Jared’s haggard appearance, Viola knew for certain that Jared must have been seriously poisoned.
So, without delay, she handed the pill in her hand to Jared.
Once Jared held the pill in his hand, the pill rapidly absorbed the poison within his body, restoring Jared’s complexion and strength at a noticeable pace.
Felipe and Freya, who were behind Viola, were dumbstruck upon seeing the bodies scattered around them, including Vincent’s decapitated head.
The two were rooted in their spots in astonishment, silent for a long while.
They never anticipated that Jared would single- handedly annihilate the entire Dupont family, even going as far as beheading Vincent himself.
After all, Vincent was an Ultimate Realm expert.
They couldn’t help but wonder how that feat was possibly achieved.
Sigurd looked at the charred bodies scattered around him and turned to Jared. “Mr. Chance, who were these people? Were they after you?”
“These people were all from the Dupont family of Yannopolis. They wanted my Divine Cauldron, even considering trading me for Demon Seal Alliance’s hundred-year offering. It’s just a shame that their abilities were lacking, and I ended up killing them all,” Jared casually explained.
“It’s really bizarre. Why could they always manage to find us accurately?” A slight frown creased Viola’s brow. She, too, sensed that something was amiss.
Cauldron Peak was vast. It would be incredibly challenging, even if one intended to find someone deliberately. Yet, they had been found not once but several times.
Upon hearing Viola’s words, Felipe and Freya exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with fear. Jared was unfazed even when facing an Ultimate Realm cultivator. With our capabilities, we’re probably as insignificant as ants to him.
Jared glanced at the siblings. Immediately, they lowered their heads, not daring to look at Jared, let alone meet his gaze.
“Why do people always find us? That’s a question for these two.” Jared approached Felipe and Freya.
“Those two?” Viola was baffled.
Sigurd furrowed his brows, saying, “Mr. Chance, could it be that Felipe and Freya have secretly revealed our whereabouts?”
Upon hearing that, Felipe and Freya were instantly thrown into a panic.
“Mr. Chance, don’t joke around. How could we possibly reveal our whereabouts? Besides, we’ve always been together.” Felipe hurriedly squeezed out a faint smile as he spoke.
“Exactly. We would never do such a thing. If you think we’re a burden, just tell us straight up. Why would you falsely accuse us?” When Freya spoke, she once again did so on a moral high horse.
