The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609: Chapter 609: You’re Making Things Hard for My Little Turtle

This end.

Gregory Xander and his group were struggling to fend off the living corpses rushing at them.

"We must defend the barrier!"

The barrier behind them was holding back hundreds of living corpses.

If the barrier failed and the corpses broke free, the four of them would have nowhere to run.

Evan Anson, with reddened eyes, was gritting his teeth alongside Nathan White to maintain the barrier behind them, while Gregory Xander and Senior Brother Jingze were desperately holding off the attackers.

However, it was too tough for the two of them alone to fend off hundreds of living corpses.

Gregory Xander, in a moment of carelessness, had his arm bitten by a living corpse that had rushed up to him.

"Gregory Xander!"

Evan Anson exclaimed in shock, only to hear Gregory Xander grit his teeth and say,

"I’m fine!"

Just now, he clearly felt warmth in his chest, as the amulet from the Mystical Sect competition protected him.

But that was just this once.

Next time, he might not be so lucky.

As he was thinking this, he heard another gasp behind him.

A living corpse had attacked Nathan White from the other side.

"Ah!" Evan Anson gasped softly again.

But at the moment the living corpse was about to bite Nathan White, it was suddenly stopped by the spikes protruding from Nathan White’s arm.

Nathan White kicked the living corpse two meters away and then whispered,

"I’m fine too."

Evan Anson: ...

Alright then.

"By the power of the Dark Moon and the Nether, let the Hundred Gods Return to Life, may the decree come, banish the ghosts by the thousands... retreat!"

Gregory Xander cast a spirit talisman, causing the living corpses in front of him to momentarily withdraw, only to charge at them again.

The living corpses that had been immobilized by the talisman were also freed as they bumped against each other.

If they didn’t kill them outright, it would never end.

But... these villagers were only half-living corpses.

As long as the daylight emerged, they might turn back into ordinary people...

Wait, daylight!

As if he thought of something, Gregory Xander bit his finger and began drawing a talisman in the air like Scarlett Jennings had done earlier.

The runes gradually gathered, and spiritual light shone forth.

The next second, several beams of white light appeared!

For a moment, the living corpses charging at them froze, allowing Senior Brother Jingze to quickly immobilize most of the living corpses in front of them and seal them into the barrier.

Seeing the situation improve, just then, several of them noticed the sudden strike of purple lightning from the west of the village.

Gregory Xander’s heart stirred, "It’s Scarlett Jennings!"

Senior Brother Jingze was a bit surprised to see such purple thunder, and it coming from that young girl?

No wonder she dared to seek out the mastermind alone.

Without time for further thought, seeing the majority of the living corpses controlled, Senior Brother Jingze quickly informed Gregory Xander and the others before rushing toward where Scarlett Jennings was.

...

Over there.

Scarlett Jennings went forth with her sword to meet the Blood Fiend, slicing off half of its arm with the first strike.

The black mist-infused blood sprayed, landing on the ground and transforming into a smelly puddle of black blood.

Nolan Snyder furrowed his brow as he watched her actions, yet noticed that each strike of hers was delivered with great precision.

After several exchanges, none of the living souls within the Blood Fiend had been harmed in the slightest.

"Could it be that you can see the positions of those living souls?!"

Impossible!

Even with Harmony Eyes, how could one see souls already devoured by the Blood Fiend with the naked eye?

Scarlett Jennings didn’t answer, her face cold as she sliced off another half of the Blood Fiend’s shoulder.

She could indeed see them.

But not with Harmony Eyes.

Scarlett Jennings didn’t even think, "Fine."

She’d just seal it again afterward.

Unaware of Scarlett Jennings’s thoughts, after hearing her agreement, the system unhesitatingly embraced the jade talisman infused with black mist.

Before long, the black mist within the jade talisman was completely absorbed by the system.

The system felt re-energized at once.

The little turtle jumped off from Scarlett Jennings’s hand.

From Nolan Snyder’s perspective, he only saw a turtle, held aloft by the black mist, flying up. He furrowed his brows, trying to recall the black mist, yet found it completely out of his control.

How could this be?!

It was undoubtedly his black mist!

Yet the system ignored his astonishment, eager to cause mischief after being restrained for so long!

While Scarlett Jennings diverted the Blood Fiend’s attention, the system manipulated the black mist, forming thread-like extensions that flew directly into the Blood Fiend.

The Blood Fiend roared, attempting to struggle, but Scarlett Jennings securely bound it with the Spirit Light Chain.

The system took advantage of this, pulling at the mist threads.

One living soul was quickly extracted from the Blood Fiend!

[One!]

[Two!]

[Three!]

...

The system excitedly counted, and as it did, Scarlett Jennings saw living souls being pulled out continuously. Although the soul bodies were a bit weakened, they were all intact.

About to praise the system, she heard its excited declaration,

[They’re mine, all mine.]

[Once I’ve absorbed all these souls, this stupid turtle won’t be able to contain me any longer!]

Scarlett Jennings: ... 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Did the system forget that she could hear it???
