Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Damn it! It's still no use!"

Jiang Hai slammed his fist into the ice rock beside him, his voice filled with helplessness and resentment.

He was panting heavily, and looked at Jiang Yu beside him: "Even the three of us working together couldn't take it down. What should we do next?"

"Wait!" Jiang Yu uttered a single word.

Not far ahead of them was the crater of this snow-capped mountain.

Outside the mountain pass lies perpetual ice and snow, where the biting wind howls.

Inside the mountain pass, however, scorching magma was churning, and waves of burning heat were rolling out.

And right at the boundary between ice and fire, a strange lotus flower is quietly blooming.

The lotus has nine petals, each of which is a different color.

One of the petals has a translucent white jade color, still somewhat green, but its edges have begun to show a faint golden light, clearly indicating that it is about to ripen.

A huge polar bear was lying prostrate before the lotus flower.

Once the lotus is fully mature, it will absolutely swallow it whole without hesitation.

Therefore, even though the "Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus" is still one step away from being harvested, Jiang Yu must pluck it before that step is completed.

As for whether immature lotus flowers still have medicinal properties, they do not know.

But if this beast eats it, then there will really be nothing left.

"wait?"

Jiang Yan immediately raised her voice, "When are we going to have to wait? That lotus flower will be ripe soon!"

"There's no use in you being anxious," Jiang Yu said calmly. "We simply can't do anything about it."

Just now, the three of them used all their skills and tricks, employing their most secret techniques.

The results of it?

These fifth-realm demonic beasts have thick hides and flesh, so even if they stand still, they can only suffer minor superficial injuries.

It's not so bad if you can't beat them, the worst thing is...

The polar bear guarded the treasure closely, never leaving its side, giving them no chance to steal the lotus.

No matter what tricks you use, it ignores them.

Now, Jiang Yu's only hope is that Senior Sun Zheng's poison can take effect before the lotus matures.

That was their last chance, their only hope.

"Even so, time isn't on our side!" Jiang Hai swallowed a pill and said in a deep voice:

"We don't know how long Captain Gao and his men can hold them off down there!"

"Once those demonic beasts down the mountain realize what's happening, even if we manage to get the 'Nine-Turn Life-Extending Lotus,' we'll definitely not be able to escape!"

In this race against death, they were at a complete disadvantage from the very beginning.

Jiang Yu was well aware of this.

To accomplish this near-impossible task was a gamble from the very beginning.

They're betting that Gao Nianwen and his team can hold out long enough.

It is bet that Sun Zheng's poison will be effective against the monsters of the Five Realms.

I'm betting that God... is on their side.

If any link in the chain breaks down, everyone who climbs this snow-capped mountain today will face certain death.

Just as the three fell silent, a calm voice rang out behind them without warning.

"Hey, Jiang Yu."

That voice?!

Jiang Yu turned around abruptly, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Yang Xianzheng stood behind them with two silver wolves.

"Why did you come up here?"

"We'll talk about that later." Yang Xian's gaze passed over them and landed on the huge white bear and the lotus flower.

Just then, Feng, who was beside him, suddenly let out a suppressed growl:

"Dad! That's it!"

"It's what took our home! And it hurt my mother!"

"Don't be impulsive." Yang Xian patted Feng's head reassuringly. "You guys wait here, I'll go try first."

I wonder if I could get close to it using god-level movement techniques.

One of the two god-level cultivation techniques previously awarded by the system was the "Void Instant Shadow Step".

Yang Xian spent a total of 35,000 points to maximize their insights.

"Wait a minute..."

Jiang Yu was about to speak up to remind him when he realized that Yang Xian's figure in front of him had become illusory.

The next second, Yang Xian merged into the space, leaving only a faint afterimage in place.

"What... what kind of movement technique is this?!" Jiang Hai's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He couldn't even see Yang Xian's movements clearly; he only felt a blur before his eyes, and the person had crossed a distance of over a hundred meters, causing ripples in the space.

however……

"roar--!"

The five-realm white bear that had been lying prone on the ground suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening roar!

The bear slammed its thick paw down on the ground!

boom!

Countless violent bolts of lightning exploded outwards from its center, instantly forming a massive lightning cage that completely covered the "Nine Revolutions Life-Extending Lotus" and the surrounding space for tens of meters!

Lightning flashed and electric snakes danced wildly.

Before the lightning completely closed in, Yang Xian activated his movement technique and retreated in the blink of an eye.

His figure solidified again, and he was back in the same spot.

Thunderous power?

This monster is also of the lightning attribute?

No wonder I sensed such powerful lightning fluctuations down the mountain earlier; I thought it was all thanks to Jiang Yu and the others…

This is truly... a stroke of luck!

Yang Xian abandoned his idea of ​​using "Dimensional Slash" to fight alone and turned to look at Jiang Yu and the other two.

"Jiang Yu".

"Quickly lend me a hand and unleash the full power of the Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique."

Unlike their "Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique", Yang Xian's technique has been systematically strengthened and has been completely transformed. It even contains a trace of the power of heaven and earth, and can utilize all the lightning in the outside world.

The four of them working together can certainly maximize the damage of the lightning spell.

But Yang Xian's thoughts were not that simple.

What he needs to do is to use the power of this fifth-realm demon beast itself to his advantage!

As long as he makes a move, he can force the opponent to retaliate with lightning. At that time, all the lightning in the stadium will be turned into his own power!

He refused to believe that this polar bear could consume the lightning magic that had been fused with its own power!

"No, brother..."

Jiang Hai was the first to react, his face filled with disbelief.

"As you just saw, this beast is also skilled in using lightning; our lightning magic is completely ineffective against it!"

Before arriving, Jiang Yu and the others did not know that this monster could use the power of thunder.

The Jiang family's powerful "Thunder Prison Demon Suppression Technique" was actually ineffective.

"Exactly!" Jiang Yan retorted impatiently, "If you don't know how, don't give orders here! We don't have time to waste on you!"

"Shut up!"

A cold shout interrupted Jiang Yan's complaints.

Jiang Yu glanced at her coldly.

"Jiang Yu, don't listen to him..." Jiang Yan wanted to argue.

"I said shut up!"

The next moment, Jiang Yan fell silent, biting her lip in grievance.

After reprimanding him, Jiang Yu took a deep breath and looked at Yang Xian with a solemn expression.

The person chosen by the second sister is no fool. Knowing that lightning magic is not very effective, why would she still use lightning?

But my brother-in-law must have his reasons for daring to come up to the top of the mountain!

"How confident are you?"
