There were also a few Ninth Level Tribulators. There was even an Ultimate Realm expert, and this expert was none other than Vincent, the head of the Dupont family from Yannopolis.
“Mr. Dupont?” Seeing Vincent, Jared was somewhat puzzled. “Weren’t you with President Surrey and the rest?”
“I was with them, but we’ve parted ways. I just wanted to take a look at your ancient cauldron. Surely, you wouldn’t be so unkind as to deny me a glimpse, right?”
He had been fixated on Jared’s Divine Cauldron. He had brought the Duponts to find him after secretly splitting up with Thaddeus and the others.
He was determined to secure the Divine Cauldron for himself. If he were to collaborate with people like Thaddeus, it would be uncertain who’d end up with the cauldron in the end.
“Oh, so you just wanted to take a look at the cauldron, huh?”
Jared appeared utterly nonchalant, ready to bring out the cauldron.
Vincent’s eyes sparkled, his gaze brimming with greed.
As soon as Jared revealed the Divine Cauldron, he wouldn’t hesitate to strike against him. Once Jared was out of the picture, the Divine Cauldron would be his, and so would the hundred-year offering from the Demon Seal Alliance.
He believed the elite of the Dupont family could easily take down a Sixth Level Tribulator.
Besides, he himself was an Ultimate Realm expert. There was no way he would be afraid of Jared.
Jared casually flipped his hand, and what he pulled out was not some cauldron, but the Dragonslayer Sword.
The light from the sword burst forth in an instant.
Vincent swiftly retreated, narrowly avoiding Jared’s sword strike.
However, the two individuals behind Vincent weren’t as fortunate. They were struck directly by the light, and their bodies were instantly cleaved in half.
“You…”
Vincent glared at Jared upon seeing his own men killed.
“Hmph, dreaming of prying into my cauldron, are you? You really think you can deceive me?”
Jared suddenly leaped up, quickly dashing off to one side.
“D*mn it, you think you can escape? I’m going to kill you today.”
Realizing that he was being toyed with, Vincent was instantly consumed by fury. With murderous intent in his eyes, he led his men in a relentless pursuit of Jared.
Jared led the way, with Vincent and his men trailing behind. They continuously wove through the mist.
Although his body hadn’t suffered much from the poison, the constant movement through the mist made him feel a certain disruption in the flow of his spiritual energy.
In reality, Jared didn’t consider these people as threats at all. The reason he didn’t confront them directly was due to the surrounding mist.
If a real fight were to break out, the speed of the poisonous energy infiltrating the body would certainly increase.
Even if Jared managed to eliminate them, he would undoubtedly be severely poisoned himself. Encountering any other situations would certainly spell trouble for him.
Vincent and his men were hot on his heels, and they kept popping pills into their mouths.
They were detoxification pills. Although it couldn’t completely eliminate the poison in this mist, it could at least slow down the rate at which the poison invaded the body.
Not long after they entered the mist, they noticed something peculiar about it and promptly began to consume detoxification pills.
Coming from a family of medical practitioners, having detoxification pills on hand was a necessity.
“Mr. Dupont, our supply of detoxification pills is running low. If we keep going at this rate, we’re going to face a serious problem.”
At that moment, a middle-aged alchemist standing beside Vincent offered a reminder.
Vincent furrowed his brows slightly, looking at Jared who was not far ahead. He muttered in confusion, “D*mn, why hasn’t the poison affected that kid yet? I don’t recall seeing him take any detoxification pill on our journey.”
“Mr. Dupont, could he be immune to all poisons?” the middle-aged alchemist asked.
“Bullcr*p, the poison in this mist is not your average poison. Even if he were immune to all poisons, he couldn’t possibly withstand the poison in this mist. Our detoxification pills, while effective against a wide range of poisons, can only slow down the effects of this particular one. They are completely unable to prevent the poison from entering the body,” Vincent cursed.
