The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 724

Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Help Me, Just This Once

"You can’t!"

Magnolia Hearne’s voice carried an uncommon urgency.

Jasmine Hamilton wanted to say something, but suddenly, the spiritual patterns on her face seemed to twist bit by bit, followed by a clear expression of pain.

The demonic power Jasmine had just absorbed was rampaging!

"What’s... happening..."

"Although your body aligns with my soul, it cannot withstand the demonic power infused by the Heavenly Dao."

Magnolia Hearne propped herself up and urged urgently, "Quick, activate the spiritual patterns to release the Power of Heavenly Path!"

Jasmine Hamilton, ravaged by the rampant demonic power, began to show a demon state, yet she gritted her teeth and persevered,

"No, I... can’t..."

If released, the power of the Heavenly Dao would return to Magnolia Hearne, rendering her and Mr. Wen’s plans futile, wouldn’t it?

"I... won’t."

Jasmine Hamilton’s voice trembled slightly, and Magnolia Hearne was almost infuriated to death by her,

"Jasmine! Do you want to die from your body exploding?!"

Jasmine looked at Magnolia Hearne, seeing her trying to approach, she suddenly waved her hand, sending out a stream of demonic power which stirred up the waterway, instantly forming a whirlpool.

"You all... leave."

"Leave, my ass!"

Magnolia Hearne couldn’t help but curse, about to charge forward recklessly, but she was unexpectedly held back by Scarlett Jennings.

She was about to speak when she heard Scarlett Jennings say,

"Let me go."

Magnolia Hearne’s expression changed, instinctively holding her tightly,

"What are you going to do?"

Scarlett Jennings looked at her with seriousness in her eyes, "Trust me, let me try."

With that, and ignoring Magnolia Hearne’s opposition, she pushed the powerless Magnolia towards Greta and quickly dashed towards Jasmine.

"Scarlett!"

Scarlett Jennings charged alone into the circle nearly submerged by Jasmine’s demonic power, gritting her teeth, she directly took off the North Spirit Stone she wore around her neck.

Previously, when she dismantled the Snake Bone Seal buried beneath the villa, the mighty demonic power released by the Great Demon was entirely absorbed by the North Spirit Stone. Maybe it could work this time too.

As for how to handle it after absorption, she couldn’t worry about that now.

She needed to save Jasmine’s life first.

Inserting the North Spirit Stone straight into the circle of demonic power, Scarlett Jennings attempted to use the spiritual energy from the North Spirit Stone as leverage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the North Spirit Stone touched Jasmine, the rampant demonic power in her seemed summoned, rapidly surging into the North Spirit Stone.

Scarlett Jennings felt the North Spirit Stone in her hand faintly heating up, along with a sensation of a powerful force opposing it.

It wasn’t the demonic power that carried her mother’s aura, but another formidable, absolute force.

The Power of Heavenly Path.

The force impacted her palm, making it slightly numb, yet she dared not let go.

Seeing Jasmine’s surrounding demonic power waning, but with that force still unyielding, she thought for a moment, and with her free hand, she suddenly pulled out the system turtle from her bag.

Not caring at all, she pressed the system turtle on it.

"System, lend a hand."

The system turtle was initially observing the spectacle, but being abruptly taken out, it couldn’t help but flail its limbs,

[You, you, you... you want to kill me! The black mist was one thing, but this is the Power of Heavenly Path that suppresses calamity; if I absorb it, I’ll explode instantly!]

"I’ll get you the fiercest Crocodile Turtle Host when we get back."

The system nearly freaked out, [Is this about changing host body?!]

It had been pretending to be a turtle at rest, but once it made a move, the Heavenly Dao would certainly realize it had "betrayed" it.

"Help me, just this once." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

She did it slowly, but she was indeed making progress bit by bit.

Jasmine’s face brightened with joy, about to declare success, when suddenly her vision was seemingly veiled by a fog.

The gray mist thickened gradually, turning into black mist.

Scarlett Jennings clearly noticed the surrounding changes too, cursing in her heart that the timing couldn’t be worse.

"Scarlett, be careful, it’s Addison!"

Addison, who attacked them a few days ago in the alley as the black mist’s senior elder.

Had she been accumulating power in advance?

Sure enough, amidst the constant rustling within the black mist, Scarlett Jennings scrutinized and saw this time, it transformed into swarming serpentine insects.

The black serpentine insects began closing in on them, Scarlett Jennings frowned, instinctively freeing a hand intending to pull out a Talisman, only to remember her current lack of spiritual power.

Magnolia Hearne wanted to act, but she was without demonic power now, even weakened physically due to having all her demonic power drawn away at once.

Jasmine, though she had absorbed her demonic power, couldn’t use it just now.

She could only instinctively push Greta beside her, "Quickly, go help."

Greta stubbornly held onto her.

Scarlett Jennings had just told him to hold onto her.

Magnolia Hearne immediately understood his intention, couldn’t help but slap him on the head,

"There’s an enemy! Of course, we have to defeat the bad guy first!"

Her hastily blurted words jolted Greta’s form.

The word [enemy] echoed in his ear.

In the next moment, an aura of corruption emanated from Greta’s body, his entire being suddenly became extremely dangerous; releasing Magnolia Hearne, he leapt towards the rapidly enclosing black serpentine insects lurking in the black mist.

An enemy must be completely eliminated.
