Chapter 2891 Useless
Jared continued to display no indications of achieving a breakthrough despite nearly completely absorbing the ice soul fragment, causing increasing anxiety for Vasily and Viola.
Over an hour later, four figures gradually materialized, among them the cultivator who had departed earlier.
“Stellaris Sect?” Viola was shocked to see the newcomers. The cultivator had sought help from Cloud, Tyrone, and the old woman from Stellaris Sect! Viola’s expression turned grim when she saw them.
She was well aware of the longstanding feud between Jared and Stellaris Sect. In their previous encounter in Jipsdale, Jared had also beaten Cloud up, leaving him with a deep-seated grudge against Jared.
“Ms. Warwick, do you know them?” Vasily asked.
Viola nodded with a concerned expression. She cast a glance at Jared, who was still deeply immersed in his cultivation. “Vasily, it appears that we’ve encountered a grave situation. These individuals belong to Stellaris Sect, and that young man is Cloud Seizon, a prominent member of their sect. He’s at the Seventh Level of Body Fusion Realm, and we’re clearly outmatched! Even our arcane array might not be enough to prevent them from causing us harm.”
Vasily’s expression became tense when he heard that. By then, Cloud and his group had drawn near to them. As soon as he laid eyes on Jared and Viola, he couldn’t contain himself and burst into laughter.
“Oh, what a delightful coincidence! I’ve been on the hunt for you for days, and here you are!” he exclaimed with evident enthusiasm.
The cultivator who had left earlier pointed at Jared and reported, “Mr. Seizon, that man has an ice soul fragment with him.” Cloud glanced at Jared and noticed a tiny ice soul fragment in the latter’s hand.
“Seriously? Didn’t you say the ice soul fragment you saw was huge? This isn’t huge at all!” Cloud demanded.
“Mr. Seizon, it was much larger before. It’s possible that this individual absorbed some of its energy, resulting in its diminished size,” the cultivator offered a quick explanation.
Tyrone addressed Cloud, saying, “Mr. Seizon, the ice soul fragment is of little consequence. Our journey here was not in vain; we can finally exact our revenge.”
“You’re right, Mr. Stone. He beat me up back at Jipsdale, so I must teach him a lesson today. As for the young lady by his side, I’ll get to enjoy her today.”
Cloud’s eyes glinted greedily as he raked his gaze over Viola. The cultivator relayed, “Mr. Seizon, they have an arcane array shielding them. My attempts to destroy it were unsuccessful, which led me to seek your assistance.”
“Well, an arcane array won’t pose a challenge for me. They’ve only recently attained the Body Fusion Realm, so even if they managed to set up an arcane array, it wouldn’t be that formidable,” Cloud dismissed Jared and the others with a condescending tone. He then instructed Tyrone, “Mr. Stone, go ahead and dismantle the arcane array.”
Tyrone nodded and advanced, releasing a powerful surge of aura from his body. As the aura erupted, Jared’s arcane array activated, enveloping them securely.
Upon spotting the arcane array, Tyrone let out a roar and swung his fist out. His punch caused a chilling gust of wind to howl, and the snow began to swirl in all directions.
Just as Tyrone’s aura struck the arcane array, the sudden and powerful backlash caught Tyrone off guard and propelled him backward. Tyrone quickly regained his footing, his expression contorted into a scowl.
“What a strong arcane array. Where did he get the formation plate from? He must’ve spent a lot on it.”
Tyrone assumed that Jared and the like had spent money to buy this formation plate. After all, with their current cultivation levels, they weren’t capable of activating such a strong arcane array.
“Useless!” Cloud let out an icy snort. Stepping forward, he placed his palm against the arcane array. With a surge of his spiritual energy, the arcane array shattered into pieces and vanished entirely.
Vasily and Viola could barely hide their shock at how easily Cloud destroyed the arcane array. They immediately stepped backward and stood in front of Jared in a protective manner.
