Chapter 194 The Silver Dome Lord's Defeat
Before the Silver Dome Lord could react, the Heavenly Stele imprint descended, striking the Silver Dome Lord precisely from the high clouds on his back. It was like a flattened meteorite crashing down from the heavens, slamming the Silver Dome Lord from the sky to the ground. No matter how the Silver Dome Lord struggled, he could not break free from the Heavenly Stele Imprint's restraints. The imprint itself was enormous, not to mention that it had been imbued with powerful earth magic by the Xuan Serpent. The gravity field of the earth magic increased the imprint's weight by more than a hundred times.
"Boom!!!"
The suppressed Silver Dome Lord let out a mournful cry, followed by a loud crash. The entire ground was smashed into a giant crater, resembling an abyss, by the falling Silver Dome Lord. The roads on both sides of the crater were splattered with the Silver Dome Lord's pale golden blood.
The monument that slammed onto the back of the Silver Sky Lord shattered into countless fragments in the massive impact. The Silver Sky Lord crawled out of the giant crater in a disheveled state, its head, back, and wings covered in pale golden blood. Its once impregnable feathers had fallen off in countless quantities under the suppression of the monument. It should be noted that before the battle, Zhu Meng and Jiang Haoshuo had jointly destroyed most of its domain, and now it was fighting against the Xuan Snake, whose strength was clearly far superior to its own. In just one exchange, it was completely defeated.
The Silver Dome Lord had developed a fear of the Black Serpent; it had ultimately overestimated itself and underestimated the Black Serpent.
Originally, the idea was to try to rush into Song City and devour what attracted it (referring to the people infected with the plague) in order to improve its bloodline and strength. As long as it devoured what attracted it in Song City, it would definitely not be directly crushed in the next battle with the Xuan Snake.
Ideals are always beautiful, but reality is so cruel. If you can't even beat the Xuan Snake, what's the point of thinking about improving your bloodline and strength?
Silver Sky Lord's greatest desire right now is to escape the Xuan Serpent's territory as soon as possible. As for what attracted it, forget about it. After all, life is more important than improving its bloodline and strength. Even if it can't improve its strength and return to its clan, it will still be the high and mighty White Demon Eagle King. But if it stays, it is not sure if it can survive.
The closest town to the West City Fortress was White Town. Many people in White Town witnessed the Black Serpent severely injuring the Silver Sky Lord, so it wasn't long before cheers erupted throughout the town. Some even shouted, "This Sky-High Serpent is protecting us! It's protecting us!!!"
"We all wronged it on the spot. It was not only not the source of the plague, but also our protector."
"So the legends my grandfather told me back then were all true. This towering serpent is truly protecting the entire Song City. Towering serpent above, please forgive my rash words at West Lake." A man looked at the black serpent high in the sky and knelt down to worship it. Gradually, many others followed suit.
Tang Yue, who had rushed back from the quarantine zone to protect the citizens of Bai Town, looked at the Xuan Snake in the distance, tears welling up in her eyes. The plague hadn't been brought by it, nor had it ever killed a single human. Perhaps its enormous size and powerful aura instilled fear in people, but it had always silently protected the city from the shadows of West Lake. Now, the Xuan Snake had proven itself, completely changing humanity's attitude towards it. Tang Yue was genuinely happy for everyone.
The White Demon Eagle Legion's offensive in the sky gradually weakened. Their intelligence was low, but that didn't mean they were stupid. Knowing that they couldn't break through the Xuan Snake's poisonous fog barrier, continuing to charge forward would only serve to pave a thicker layer of corpses for the White Demon Eagles outside the West City Fortress.
Even though the Silver Sky Lord was still very unhappy with the Black Serpent, it dared not linger any longer as it soared into the sky. It cried out and ordered its White Demon Eagle Legion to cover its retreat. Watching the Silver Sky Lord and the White Demon Eagle Legion fly towards the West Ridge, the Black Serpent raised its proud head and let out a roar that resounded through the sky.
The Black Serpent's roar carried far and wide. The Silver Sky Lord's wings involuntarily paused at the sound of its roar. Had it not snapped back to its senses in time and flapped its massive wings, it would have likely crashed on the spot. The Black Serpent's roar was like a proclamation to the demons nearby that the Silver Sky Lord, the ruler of Xiling, had been defeated by it. And if any foolish demon in Song City dared to cross the city's borders, it would surely enter Xiling and wreak havoc!
After all, the monarch's authority cannot be challenged!
As the White Demon Eagle Legion and the Silver Sky Lord faded from the sky, excited cheers erupted throughout the West City Fortress. They had successfully defended the West City Fortress, but most of the credit went to the Xuan Snake. As a result, Jiang Han, who was far away, could hear the mages and judges in the West City Fortress shouting things like "Wow, Xuan Snake!"
Yunfeng, the military commander who had retreated to the West City Fortress, stood on the highest watchtower and said in bewilderment, "Strange, in the past, the demons of Xiling would take the opportunity to launch surprise attacks on us and put pressure on my defenses. Why are they behaving so well this time?"
"I think it might be the lingering power of the Black Serpent," Tang Zhong said, gazing towards the West Ridge.
In the past, when the West City Fortress was attacked by the White Demon Eagle, the demons living in the forest north of the West Ridge would become restless and even launch attacks when the fortress's defenses were weak. Therefore, after each defeat of the White Demon Eagle, the guardian mages stationed at the West City Fortress could not relax their vigilance immediately but instead strengthened their defensive measures.
Zhu Meng, whose face had not yet fully regained its color, sighed and looked at the black serpent coiled in the air with a complicated expression.
"Zhu Meng, you wouldn't still be thinking of getting rid of the Xuan Serpent, would you?" Judge Li Tian asked, looking at Zhu Meng's complicated expression.
Supported by Chen Yun, Jiang Haoshuo glanced at Zhu Meng and laughed, "Does he have the strength to go? A single Silver Sky Lord could kill him instantly. If the Xuan Snake is pushed too far, I wonder if it will whip him into dust with one tail."
"You..." Zhu Meng wanted to refute, but he didn't know how. He couldn't let go of the fact that he had been instantly killed by the Silver Sky Lord. He could only wave his hand and say, "Don't worry, my hidden danger strategy will no longer include the Totem Xuan Snake. In any case, it saved us all and averted a major loss that might have been irreparable. In addition, I would like to thank it for saving Jiang Junsi in time."
Jiang Haoshuo was quite satisfied with Zhu Meng removing the Totem Serpent from his so-called "hidden danger strategy." After all, the Jiang family also worshipped totem beasts, and living in such a family, he understood very well the importance of each totem beast to China. Forbidden spellcasters are indeed powerful among humans, but when facing truly powerful demon emperors, they are still as weak as ants. Currently, only a few totem beasts remain, and if even these few perish, it's uncertain whether they can defend against the next large-scale demon invasion.
Jiang Han controlled the undead giant lizard pseudo-dragon to land at the West City Fortress. As soon as they landed, Chen Yun and Jiang Haoshuo walked over. Jiang Haoshuo even circled around Jiang Han for a moment. Jiang Han asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with me?"
"No." Jiang Haoshuo shook his head and continued, "It really looks like him, exactly like my older brother when he was a child."
Jiang Han was completely confused by Jiang Haoshuo's words. Jiang Haoshuo hadn't introduced himself, so Jiang Han naturally didn't recognize him. Jiang Han muttered to himself, "I look a lot like your older brother when we were kids? Who's your older brother? Surely Dad couldn't have been cheated on, could he?"
Although living with his father Jiang Kun for several years had made him increasingly rebellious, and he constantly thought about getting revenge on his father for the beatings he received as a child, the bond between them was genuine. If his father were ever cheated on, he would definitely stand by him. However, these were all Jiang Han's own thoughts. If Jiang Kun and Mu Qinghan found out, they would definitely give him a mixed double beating.
