184: The Wang family's conspiracy has revealed all their cards.

Amidst the pile of rubble above the canyon, several dark shadows lurked like dead wood, suppressing their breathing to the extreme.

They were the elites of the Dragon Family.

The old man at the lead had a sinister gaze, staring fixedly at the path of survival blasted open by money below, the muscles at the corner of his eyes twitching uncontrollably.

He was none other than the Dragon Family head, the Fifth-Tier Gene Grandmaster—Long Xiaotian.

"Crazy... This is simply crazy!"

Beside him, the Dragon Family's eldest young master, Long Aoyun, swallowed hard, his voice trembling.

"Dad, how could Shangguan Xue have so many four-star energy Talisman in her hands?"

"Hundreds of them! Even if we sold our entire Dragon Family, we couldn't scrape together such a massive fortune!"

A strong sense of fear welled up in Long Aoyun's heart.

He was not stupid.

The granddaughter of a declining Family could never possess such financial power.

The only explanation was that a heaven-reaching big shot stood behind her!

"Dad, how about... let's just forget it?"

Long Aoyun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his tone bordering on begging.

"Shangguan Xue is a Genius of the Olympus Academy, and I heard her mentor is that Seventh-Tier Great Power known as the 'Ice Witch', Fu Xinglan."

"Add to that this unfathomable wealth..."

"If this matter is exposed, our Dragon Family will absolutely be wiped out!"

To provoke such an existence for a woman, or for the so-called position of Family head, was simply not worth it.

"Shut up!"

Long Xiaotian turned his head abruptly, his murky old eyes burning with the crazy flames of a gambler.

"There is no turning back once the arrow is shot!"

"Do you think I care about that bit of Family property?"

He stared fixedly at the beautiful figure below, his voice hoarse and greedy.

"That big shot promised that as long as I bring this girl over, I will be granted the Opportunity to reach a Breakthrough to the Sixth-Rank!"

"That is the Sixth-Rank!"

"As long as I become a Sixth-Rank Great Expert, what can even the Olympus Academy do to me?"

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Long Xiaotian's eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he said decisively:

"Pass down the order!"

"Except for Shangguan Xue who must be captured alive, everyone else... including that useless Shangguan Tai, kill them all!"

"As long as we do it flawlessly, who will be able to find out it was us?"

Just as the Dragon Family members were preparing to act.

"Roar—!"

An earth-shattering roar suddenly exploded from the canyon exit.

The ground shook violently.

A giant beast, the size of a heavy tank and wreathed in terrifying lightning, burst out from the ground, completely blocking the path of Shangguan's group.

A true Fifth-Tier Starry Sky Alien Species—the Thunder Giant Lizard!

This beast was clearly attracted by the sound of the explosion just now.

Its cold, vertical pupils swept across the crowd, and the terrifying pressure radiating from its body made the air become viscous.

"Heaven helps me!"

Long Xiaotian was overjoyed at the sight, and the figure that was about to rush out stopped abruptly.

"Borrowing a knife to kill, it couldn't be better!"

"Wait until this beast exhausts their trump cards, then we will step in to clean up the mess!"

Meanwhile, below.

Looking at the giant beast exuding an aura of despair, Shangguan Hong and Su Dingfang's faces instantly turned as pale as paper.

With a Fifth-Tier blocking the front and a beast tide chasing from behind.

This was a certain death situation!

"It's over..."

The long sword in Shangguan Tai's hand clattered to the ground, and he completely gave up resistance.

Facing a Fifth-Tier Alien Species, their group of wounded and disabled bodies wasn't even enough to fill the gaps in its teeth.

However.

At this moment of despair.

"Hum!"

A dazzling golden light lit up once again from the very front of the team.

Shangguan Xue did not hesitate in the slightest, flipping her fair hand, and a golden Talisman that exuded a heavy aura instantly burned.

Five-star defensive Talisman—Immovable Wisdom King Bell!

Boom!

A ten-zhang-high phantom of a giant golden bell appeared out of thin air, tightly shielding everyone inside.

"Bang!"

The Thunder Giant Lizard's claw, capable of shattering mountains, slammed heavily against the golden bell, but it only stirred up ripples, failing to shake it in the slightest.

"This... is this a five-star energy Talisman?!"

Long Xiaotian, lurking in the shadows, had his pupils shrink, his outstretched hand freezing in mid-air.

This girl, just how many more trump cards does she have?

Before he could recover from his shock.

Shangguan Xue struck again.

"Go!"

She gave a delicate shout, and several more shimmering Talismans flew out from her hand.

And this time, they were all five-star offensive Talismans!

Rumble!

Violent thunder and fire exploded on the giant lizard's body; even the hard scales of the Fifth-Tier Alien Species were blown into a bloody mess, causing it to let out painful roars.

"Grandpa! Uncle-in-law! Attack its lower body!"

Shangguan Xue stepped with mysterious footwork, her figure instantly turning into several afterimages, actually taking the initiative to rush out of the defensive circle.

Divine Shadow Without Trace!

This was the footwork Qin Lang taught her personally, and it now displayed astonishing power in actual combat.

She wove through the gaps in the giant lizard's attacks like a butterfly among flowers, and the flowing cloud overlapping shadow sword in her hand unleashed Sword Qi like a rainbow, specifically targeting the giant lizard's eyes and other vital points.

Shangguan Hong and Su Dingfang woke up as if from a dream, forcing themselves to muster their energy, unleashing the force of 'striking across the mountain to hit the cow', attacking the giant lizard's injured abdomen crazily.

For a moment, this team that should have been killed in seconds actually managed to hold back the footsteps of the Fifth-Tier Alien Species!

"Damn it! This bunch of ants!"

The Thunder Giant Lizard was completely enraged.

It swung its tail violently, and that giant tail covered in bone spurs swept out like a steel whip, carrying the sound of a sonic boom.

The speed was too fast!

Shangguan Xue had nowhere to dodge.

"Bang!"

The golden protective light shattered instantly, and she was sent flying, crashing heavily against the rock wall.

"Cough, cough..."

If it weren't for the protective jade pendant Qin Lang gave her, this blow would have been enough to take her life.

"Chance!"

Shangguan Xue wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a flash of determination in her eyes.

She did not retreat; instead, using the force of the recoil, she flicked a black potion bottle only the size of a thumb from her finger.

The potion bottle traced an arc in the air, landing precisely into the giant lizard's mouth as it was preparing to roar.

That was the "big killer" Qin Lang had stuffed into her hands before leaving.

six-star combat potion—Annihilation Thunder Bead!

"Explode!"

Boom—!!!

An extremely dull, loud noise exploded inside the giant lizard's body.

There was no earth-shattering firelight.

But this massive Fifth-Tier Alien Species seemed as if it had been slapped hard by an invisible giant hand.

Its huge body stiffened abruptly, and then it was directly flipped over to the ground by a terrifying internal shockwave, spraying black blood mixed with organ fragments from its mouth.

Heavily injured!

Heavily injuring a Fifth-Tier with one blow!

Behind the pile of rubble in the distance.

The Dragon Family members watched this scene, each of them like a duck with its neck choked, unable to make a sound.

"Six... six-star potion?!"

Long Aoyun's eyes were about to pop out, and his whole body was trembling like a sieve.

"A single one of those things is worth tens of millions! And it's a strategic resource that you can't buy even with money!"

"Dad... we can't afford to offend this woman!"

"She definitely has a huge secret, or she's the illegitimate daughter of a big Family!"

"Let's retreat! It's not too late to leave now!"

Long Aoyun had been scared out of his wits.

Casually throwing five-star Talismans is something a nouveau riche would do.

But casually throwing a six-star combat potion, that is a damn armory!

Long Xiaotian gripped the rock beneath him tightly, his nails even digging into the stone.

His breathing was rapid to the extreme, his eyes filled with struggle.

Fear.

Greed.

Unwillingness.

Various emotions intertwined in his heart.

But in the end, when he thought of the heaven-reaching methods that mysterious "Senior Han" had displayed, and thought of the Sixth-Rank gate that was so close at hand.

Evil arose from his courage!

"Wealth is sought in danger!"

Long Xiaotian gritted his teeth, his voice as sinister as a vicious wolf.

"The more trump cards she uses, the weaker she is!"

"There was only that one six-star potion, I don't believe she has any more!"

"When that beast breathes its last, that will be the moment she is most relaxed."

"Everyone, listen to my order!"

"Prepare to act!"

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield.

Shangguan Hong and Su Dingfang looked at the giant lizard that had been blown half to death, also with expressions of dullness.

They never dreamed that their Xue'er would be fierce to this extent.

Is this the legendary... money power?

And at the very back of the team.

Shangguan Tai, who had been shrinking his head the whole time, was now completely limp on the ground.

Watching Shangguan Xue's calm and unhurried movements, as she was even about to continue pulling out Talismans, he let out a desperate wail in his heart.

"How can this still be played?"

"This is literally smashing people to death with money!"
