Repelled (Bonus Chapter... 5 More Still Needed from Tips)

After the Silver Dome Lord flew back into the sky from the ground, it roared angrily, and a terrifying sonic wave of destruction poured out of its mouth!

The sonic boom caused cracks to appear on the hard snake scales.

Standing atop the Dark Serpent's head, Tang Miao, though protected, could still sense its terrifying destructive power...

However, the Dark Serpent ignored it completely and lashed out with its massive tail once more.

"Bang!"

It swept across the sonic boom area and even landed on the Silver Dome Lord's open beak...

After being slapped again, the Silver Dome Lord was completely distraught!

For Monarch Level Demon Beast, destructive magic was no longer important; they relied more on physical combat. But the birdman was clearly at a disadvantage; from the very first exchange, it was consistently the one getting beaten up...

Zhu Meng, having retreated to the fortress, looked at the Dark Serpent and the Silver Dome Lord in the sky and sighed softly, "It seems I really was wrong..."

Then he looked at Tang Zhong and said sincerely, "All along, I've been thinking about how to deal with the Dark Serpent... I'm sorry."

Tang Zhong chose to accept Zhu Meng's apology.

There's no other reason than that, regardless of how he targeted the Dark Serpent, his willingness to lead from the front and fight to the death against the Silver Dome Lord proves that he genuinely cared about humanity, not for his own ambitions.

After receiving Tang Zhong's forgiveness, Zhu Meng looked up at the sky and sighed, "If it weren't for the help of the Dark Serpent today, Hangzhou would surely have been massacred."

Tang Zhong paused for a moment before continuing, "We accept your apology. Tang Miao said some hurtful things earlier, and we hope you won't mind."

Zhu Meng's lips twitched slightly; this was clearly something he didn't want to think about.

After all, he, a dignified member of parliament, was being insulted to his face by a mere brat, and he didn't want to mention it at all!

However, he naturally couldn't afford to offend the Tang Clan any further. He shook his head and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing... it's nothing..."

Meanwhile, the Silver Dome Lord had already given up on continuing the attack. There was no other way; he was being relentlessly pressured, and even with thousands upon thousands of his minions, they couldn't even get through the Dark Serpent's Poisonous Fog. Under these circumstances, what else could he do but retreat?

But since it wanted to retreat, the Dark Serpent naturally couldn't let it leave just like that.

Suddenly, its form became ethereal. Tang Miao, standing on the Dark Serpent's head, could clearly feel himself moving rapidly.

The next moment, he and the Dark Serpent suddenly appeared above the Silver Dome Lord!

It traced a huge circle around a center, leaving a dark bluish-black outline in its wake.

The outline encompassed an area of one kilometer in radius around the Silver Dome Lord. The marks, patterns, and ancient symbols on the scales of the Totem Mystic Snake serpent were secretly distributed throughout the entire circular outline. From a distance, it looked like a Bagua pattern filled with countless incantations covering the sky above the Silver Dome Lord!

Finally, this energy suddenly materialized, turning into huge stone tablets.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

After turning into stone tablets, they all crashed down on the Silver Dome Lord at the same time!

The imprints struck the back of the Silver Dome Lord with perfect accuracy, like a flat, round meteorite that had accidentally fallen from the Heavenly Palace to the mortal realm, capable of causing world-destroying power!

The Silver Dome Lord was pressed to the ground. The stele was imbued with powerful Earth Element magic. Its size was already enormous, and with the addition of the Earth Element's gravitational field, a single stele could weigh as much as several mountains stacked together!

"Rumble..."

The earth, unable to bear the weight, sank down, creating a circular abyss!

The abyss was filled with the blood of the Silver Dome Lord. The Silver Dome Lord crawled out in a sorry state, its head, back, and wings covered in blood, a testament to the extreme blow it had suffered... both mentally and physically.

The Silver Dome Lord was completely defeated. Having suffered such a severe blow, it didn't even have the courage to retaliate...

Then it spread its wings and took flight, heading west...

The Totem Mystic Snake showed no intention of giving chase. Tang Miao asked it if it could kill the Silver Dome Lord, but the answer was no.

The Dark Serpent indicated that defeating its opponent was not difficult, but killing it was not so easy. Once someone reached the level of a monarch and was forced to fight to the death, they became extremely ferocious.

After learning that there was no way to kill the Silver Dome Lord, Tang Miao ordered Dark Serpent to eliminate more Sky Demon Eagle! Especially the Commander Level Eight-Clawed Demon Eagles, those are worth a lot of money!

Upon hearing this, the Dark Serpent flicked its tongue and refused. Of course, it had its reasons; if it were to pursue relentlessly, it might provoke a fierce counterattack from the Sky Demon Eagle. In that case, the humans of Hangzhou City would likely suffer considerable losses.

After all, the opponent was a flying magical beast, and the current defense forces of Hangzhou, especially the air force, were severely weakened.

As the White Demon Eagle Legion and the Silver Dome Lord faded from the horizon, the city's tense atmosphere of vigilance was finally lifted.

People within the safe zone returned to their own cities, and the defenses of the West Fortress returned to normal.

After the crisis was averted, the Dark Serpent let out another roar before leading Tang Miao away, heading back towards the village's sealed location.

After Tang Miao and Dark Serpent disappeared, the Military Commander of the West Fortress reported receiving messages from the east, south, and north that the Demon Beast clans from the three directions had all slunk away dozens of miles away with their tails between their legs.

Upon learning of this, Zhu Meng told the members of the guardian clan that he would no longer consider the Dark Serpent a threat. Of course, he also knew that even if he were to take action against the Dark Serpent, the people of Hangzhou would not agree...

Putting aside whether he could win a fight, the public outrage alone would be enough to overwhelm him...

The Hangzhou incident was quickly resolved; apart from the initial deaths from the plague, everything was quickly remedied.

Tang Miao had made a great contribution, and even Zhu Meng had tried to recruit him. However, Tang Miao refused outright.

A few days later... Zhu Meng thought Tang Miao was still angry with him, so he personally went to find Tang Miao and apologized.

Tang Miao accepted his apology, but still refused to join his camp. But as the saying goes, even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain!

Tang Miao extorted money from Zhu Meng for the corpses of those four-clawed Demon Beast Four-Clawed Demon Eagle, which Commander Level, and for the credit of saving the plague victims.

This time, in addition to gaining some Spirit Essence and Remnant Soul, he also gained an extra 300 million.

As for the credit? Tang Miao gave it all to Zhu Meng, which could be considered an apology for his previous insults.

Tang Miao received 300 million in income and generously rewarded the hardworking Dark Serpent with 3,000 yuan worth of gourmet food.

After Tang Yue found out about this, she looked down on him for three whole days...
