Chapter 143 Killing the Silver Dome Lord
Tang Zhong, as the chief of the Totem Guardian Clan, has agreed to activate the formation. Zhu Meng, a man who never hesitates, clenched his right fist and prepared for action.
"Execute the punishment of the Thunder Ring!" Councillor Zhu Meng declared loudly.
As the mages began to operate the formation, the magic stones around the West Lake gradually ran out, and the communication between them became closer. Brilliant magic runes lit up one after another, marking the activation of the magic formation.
In an instant, the sky above began to surge with a tide of thunder elements!
Looking up, I saw large dark clouds rising in the originally clear sky.
In the dark clouds, huge pale lightning flashed, dotted with lightning energy particles like stars.
These particles connect to each other, forming rays of light like meteors, crisscrossing each other to form a stunning star map.
The Thunder Ring Punishment - a magic formation activated with Zhu Meng as the core, its lightning power was integrated into his lightning soul seed, and its color changed from dark purple to pale white.
The star maps are continuous and overlap with each other, forming vivid constellation patterns.
Above the dark sea of clouds, seven constellations stand proudly, with clear outlines and lifelike shapes.
These seven constellations are intertwined in the sky to form a magnificent palace of thunder and lightning, the spectacular sight is jaw-dropping.
As the lights of the constellations shone on each other and the lightning elements in the sky gathered densely, they eventually condensed into thunderclouds - an astonishing feast of thunder magic began.
Nine long halberds formed from lightning emerged from the thunderclouds. Countless bolts of lightning intertwined together to form giant lightning pillars that pierced the sky. They were so majestic and magnificent that they looked like supporting pillars between heaven and earth...
The dazzling pale lightning was just like the paleness left on the faces of the victims before, which was heart-pounding. The thunder halberd pointed straight to the sky with the anger of the crowd.
The Silver Dome Lord in the West Lake felt threatened by the magic formation. It flapped its wings frantically, trying to escape. However, the totem black snake entangled it tightly and refused to let it escape.
The Silver Dome Lord found it hard to believe. Even though the Totem Black Snake was very powerful, he could sense that the other party had just completed molting and its strength had not yet recovered to its peak. It was only slightly stronger than himself and was still at the level of a great monarch.
It was very confused. Wasn't the snake afraid of the power of this super-class formation? The scope of the Thunder Ring Punishment was so vast that once it was activated, not only itself but also the black snake would be affected.
There was a roar that shook the sky, as if the night had been broken apart, and thunder fell from the sky like a pillar, piercing mercilessly into the surface of West Lake.
The residents in the safe zone were pale-faced, immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones. At this moment, they were all attracted by the pale and brilliant light in the sky.
When those thundering spears fell from the sky, cutting through the vast sky, they were also deeply imprinted in their vision.
"Is that…is that magic too?"
"Is the military support coming?"
The spectacular sight of the Thunder Halberd has captured the attention of many, even those far outside the safety of the city.
It tore through the dark sky, as if the power of heaven had accidentally descended upon the earth...
Nine thunder spears gathered into a formation, forming a huge nine-pointed star column, standing tall above the West Lake, surrounding the two monarchs.
Those lightning halberds were like pale pillars of forbidden lightning, with thick chains of lightning flowing between them. These chains of lightning kept rolling and dancing around each of the lightning halberds that were like pillars supporting the sky, never stopping for a moment!
The West Lake had turned into a pale sea of thunder. The lightning was like a merciless whip, lashing at the body of the Silver Dome Lord with full rage.
The Silver Dome Lord himself is not good at defense, and every lightning strike will leave deep burn marks on his body.
The situation of the Totem Black Snake is also not good. The magic formation driven by the super-class wizard is far more powerful than the combined power of a group of high-level wizards in the original book.
But it has outstanding defense, and it has just completed molting. Although its condition is not at its peak, its strength has reached the peak stage of a great monarch.
Zhu Meng was also trying his best to guide the lightning to attack the Silver Dome Lord instead of the Black Snake. The trauma caused by the lightning that fell on the totem black snake was far less severe than that suffered by the Silver Dome Lord.
"You damn beast, invading human cities will be the biggest mistake of your life!" Councillor Zhu Meng angrily increased the strength of the magic circle and shouted loudly.
The other super-class mages all looked quite exhausted. Xu Mu observed that Hei Yu, Tang Zhong, Li Tian and the others were pale and sweating profusely.
Considering that Tang Zhong and Li Tian are older and have been fighting for a whole night, it is understandable that they are in poor condition.
But what happened to Hei Yu? The formation had just started, and his physical strength was extremely depleted. Was his kidneys overdrawn?
Xu Mu didn't think much about it and turned his gaze to the surface of West Lake. Under the torture of the punishment of the Thunder Ring, the Silver Dome Lord and the Totem Black Snake were both covered with scars.
The once arrogant look in the eyes of the Silver Dome Lord has now become dim. Even though it is trapped in a super-class magic formation, this tenacious black snake still refuses to stop attacking itself.
Faced with the bombardment of thunder and lightning, it was unable to fight back at all. A trace of unwillingness flashed in its eyes. As the ruler of Xiling and the overlord of the sky, it did not want to fall at the hands of just dozens of humans.
After being knocked away by the black snake's tail again, its huge head slowly turned and stared at the high-level wizards on the shore of West Lake. It knew in its heart that it was their joint spellcasting that made it trapped in this magic formation.
As long as it gets rid of these people, it can escape from here and return to its nest.
The Thunder Ring Punishment is the strongest super-class confinement magic. The Thunder Ring Punishment confinement ability initiated by the large formation is even more powerful. It is simply impossible to break through in its current state. The formation can only be broken from the outside.
The Silver Dome Lord suddenly let out a sharp cry, the sound waves of which penetrated every corner of Hangzhou City. The Totem Black Snake instantly became alert, and quickly swung its tail to hit the Silver Dome Lord's beak hard, trying to stop its summons.
The huge snake tail, like a mountain, hit the Silver Dome Lord's beak hard, interrupting its cry for help, but the warning sound had already spread in all directions!
"Oh no! It's summoning other White Magic Eagles!" Zhu Meng said with a heavy expression.
Although Zhu Meng served as a member of parliament, he was a veteran of the battlefield and often visited crisis cities everywhere. He immediately realized that the Lord of the Silver Dome was calling on the White Magic Eagle Legion of the Western Fortress for support.
"We can't delay any longer, we must kill the Silver Dome Lord immediately and end this battle." Military Commander Yun Feng said to Zhu Meng.
If the White Demon Eagle tried desperately to break into West Lake, the guards of the West Fortress alone would certainly not be able to stop it.
They are all at the key points of the magic circle. If the White Magic Eagle attacks, they will have no time to cast magic to destroy the White Magic Eagle.
At that time, they only had two choices: either give up maintaining the formation and take action to destroy the White Magic Eagle, or ignore the White Magic Eagle and continue to maintain the formation, which would eventually result in death and the formation dissipating.
No matter which of the above options is chosen, the Lord of the Silver Dome will survive.
"No, its vitality is still strong. If we disband the formation now, it will have a chance to escape." Zhu Meng responded.
"Once the White Magic Eagle arrives, even if only one mage is injured, our magic formation will be in danger." Military Commander Yun Feng went on to explain.
"I know better than you." Zhu Meng replied in a deep voice.
The real power of the super-class formation - Thunder Ring Punishment does not lie in its instantaneous killing, but in its ability to continuously exert pressure, gradually weakening the opponent's defense and vitality until the enemy's strength is exhausted. That is the best time to launch a fatal blow.
At this moment, both the Totem Black Snake and the Silver Dome Lord had extremely abundant vitality. If a decisive attack was launched at this time, it would be very likely that the Silver Dome Lord would take the opportunity to escape.
"Since you know it clearly, what are you waiting for? Do you want the White Demon Eagle to save the Silver Dome Lord?" Military Commander Yun Feng asked.
"I have emphasized that once the formation is activated, we must ensure that the Silver Dome Lord dies here. If we carry out the killing operation in advance, we will not be able to prevent it from escaping!" Zhu Meng reiterated firmly.
Then, Zhu Meng turned to Xu Mu and said, "Boy, I'll leave the threat of the White Demon Eagle to you."
The Lord of the Silver Dome led most of the White Magic Eagle Tribe to attack together. If they wanted to completely destroy it, they had to take into account the potential threat posed by these groups of White Magic Eagles.
He deliberately left Xu Mu behind because of his extraordinary strength. Although he was a high-level mage, his strength was almost equivalent to that of a slightly weaker super-level mage.
As long as the number of White Magic Eagles crossing the West Fortress is not too large, Xu Mu is fully capable of dealing with it alone.
"Leave it to me." Xu Mu nodded slightly.
Even if the White Magic Eagles broke through the defense line of the Western Fortress at all costs and reached the West Lake, their number would not be too large, only about a hundred at most.
Moreover, most of the more than a hundred were seriously injured, so he could easily deal with them alone.
The West Fortress was not far from the West Lake. After the Silver Dome Lord had endured more than ten minutes of continuous attacks, a group of giant white eagles with red spots appeared in the sky.
From a distance, they looked like a floating white cloud, gradually approaching. When the Silver Sky Lord saw his subordinates flying over, he was extremely excited, and his beak emitted a mocking laugh, as if he was laughing at Zhu Meng and others for overestimating their own abilities, and perhaps also at the Black Snake.
Hearing the sarcastic laughter, the Totem Black Snake became furious and turned over and pounced on the Silver Dome Lord again, starting a fierce battle.
"About a hundred of them. Fortunately, the number is not too many." Xu Mu looked at the scene in front of him and felt a little calmer.
Just as he expected, only about a hundred White Magic Eagles successfully broke through, and most of them were seriously injured and could not pose much threat.
The guards of the West Fortress are not vegetarians. They will not allow the enemy to break through their defense line easily. They can injure these white magic eagles with a wave of their magic.
What's more, those commander-level four-clawed magic eagles have died, and most of the high-level mages in Hangzhou are in the West Fortress. It is extremely difficult to break through the defense line with only these slave-level and general-level white magic eagles.
"You..." Zhu Meng opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Xu Mu had already turned into a ray of blue light and rose into the sky, completing the drawing of the star map with a wave of his hand.
"Thunderbolt - electric disaster!"
Xu Mu stared ahead with cold eyes, then activated the fourth level thunderbolt.
In an instant, the purple and red intertwined thunder formed a huge electric net, which violently attacked the group of white magic eagles.
The power of this thunderbolt, after being amplified twelve times by magic, is more powerful than high-level second-level magic, and it is simply a devastating blow to these white magic eagles.
The electric net appeared in an instant, and more than thirty white magic eagles were ruthlessly shot down.
"Level 4 Thunderbolt, this kid is so rich?" Zhu Meng couldn't help but be amazed.
The strengthening of the fourth-level thunderbolt requires forty-nine slave-level essences, and each slave-level essence is worth up to five million. In other words, forty-nine are almost equivalent to two hundred and fifty million yuan.
As a member of parliament, he doesn't even dare to be so extravagant!
"Senator Zhu Meng, the Silver Dome Lord's vitality is rapidly weakening!" The shout from Chief Judge Li Tian grabbed Zhu Meng's attention.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng shifted his attention from Xu Mu to the Silver Dome Lord. According to the perception of the super-class magician, the Silver Dome Lord's life breath was gradually declining!
"After waiting for such a long time, this guy finally couldn't hold on any longer!" Zhu Meng's eyes flashed with excitement.
The vitality of the monarch-level creature is so strong that even under the continuous attack of the super-level magic circle, it has only now shown signs of weakness.
Then, he checked the condition of the totem black snake. Although its scales were covered with cracks, its inner aura was still strong.
Although both have reached the strength level of a great monarch, the difference in strength between the Silver Dome Lord and the Totem Black Snake is significant.
From the moment the Silver Dome Lord showed signs of decline, its fate was already decided: it would perish in Hangzhou.
The thunder impact of the lightning formation, coupled with the monarch-level fierce attack of the totem black snake, caused its vitality to be rapidly drained away.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost out of breath, unable to lift its wings, and did not have enough strength to continue calling for the White Magic Eagle to come for help.
For safety reasons, Zhu Meng did not rush to end the battle, but continued to inflict pain on the Silver Dome Lord to ensure that it had absolutely no chance of escape.
The totem black snake also continued to torture the Silver Dome Lord until it made a hissing sound, and Zhu Meng decided to kill it.
"Thunder Judgment!"
At Zhu Meng's command, the magic formation dissipated and then restarted. Nine huge thunder god halberds rose up and gathered in the air into a huge thunder spear!
The pale thunder spear stood tall above the West Lake, and its spectacular sight was clearly visible from every corner of Hangzhou city.
Although the Thunder Ring Formation was no longer there, and the power that had originally trapped the Silver Dome Lord had also disappeared, the Silver Dome Lord's current condition made it impossible for it to move at all, not to mention that the Totem Black Snake had released several additional black energies before leaving, suppressing it tightly on the surface of West Lake.
The eyes of the Silver Dome Lord were filled with unwillingness. Its gaze moved between Zhu Meng and others, and finally fixed on the totem black snake.
The totem black snake seemed to appreciate it very much. It swung its tail and hit the Silver Dome Lord's head hard, causing it to turn to the side.
What kind of rubbish mixed-haired bird dares to look you, Master Snake, in the eye?
"This magic formation actually has a second form?"
After Xu Mu successfully eliminated the White Magic Eagle that kept breaking through the defense line of the Western Fortress, he landed on the shore.
He was a little stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. He didn't expect that the Thunder Ring Punishment Array had two forms. The previous one was to torture and attack the Silver Dome Lord, and when the opponent entered a weak period, it would activate the second form and kill him!
Zhu Meng’s thoughts are so terrifying!
"The punishment of the Thunder Ring is indeed powerful and can restrain monarch-level creatures, but if it wants to actually kill monarch creatures, it is impossible." Zhu Meng explained slowly.
"I have prepared many strategies to deal with the Totem Black Snake, but I didn't expect that they would be used to deal with this beast." Zhu Meng said in a deep voice.
His eyes were as cold as ice as he stared straight at the Lord of the Silver Dome, as if he could freeze the entire surface of the lake with his gaze.
Feeling Zhu Meng's gaze, the Silver Sky Lord raised his head with difficulty and confronted him. He tried to open his beak, perhaps to beg for forgiveness, or perhaps to release a threat, but Zhu Meng did not give him any chance to speak.
The thunder spear fell from the sky with a loud bang, making an earth-shaking noise. The whole city of Hangzhou was shocked by this sudden sound.
The moment the spear pierced through the Silver Dome Lord's head, it not only nailed him firmly to the West Lake, but also caused the lake water to merge with his blood and brain matter. In an instant, a bloody red spread, as if even the sky screamed in surprise at this moment.
Inside and outside Hangzhou, everyone was shocked by the earth-shaking movement, and the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere.
The Grand Monarch-level Silver Dome Lord died in this way on the super-level magic circle!
Before others could show their joy, Xu Mu had already used the Space Instant to instantly move to the head of the Silver Dome Lord.
He took out his own ghost vessel, ready to collect the priceless monarch-level essence.
"You kid!" Zhu Meng's eyes widened immediately. This kid just took away the monarch-level spirit essence worth ten figures?
He tried to grab it forward, but after taking a step, his legs began to falter from weakness and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"I have made outstanding contributions, and this is just a monarch-level spirit. You, a congressman, shouldn't be so stingy." Xu Mu curled his lips.
"I set up the formation, I provided the magic stones, I also brought the palace guards, and the black snake belongs to the Tang family. Whose contribution can be greater than yours?" Zhu Meng said angrily.
"I'm stingy? The market value of a sub-monarch-level spirit essence is several billion, and this is a great monarch-level one, the value is even more inestimable!" Zhu Meng was almost laughing at Xu Mu's anger.
This kind of priceless great monarch-level spirit essence is rarely seen even by him as a member of parliament.
Xu Mu ignored Zhu Meng's reaction, his eyes fixed on the monarch-level spirit that was slowly rising from the head of the Silver Dome Lord.
As the spirit gradually turned into a faint light, it was finally collected into the vessel of the dead soul in his hand.
After the spirit was properly collected, Zhu Meng also arrived above the head of the Silver Dome Lord, watching Xu Mu's actions, and asked in confusion: "How do you have such a high-level dead soul vessel?"
There are different levels of soul vessels. The low-level ones can only hold slave-level soul essences, while the slightly higher-level ones can hold general-level soul essences.
The soul vessels that can collect commander-level spirits are extremely rare and are treasures among vessels. They are more expensive than galaxy magic vessels.
As for the soul vessel that can collect monarch-level essence, Zhu Meng himself only has one.
"It was given to me by an old man named Jin." Xu Mu said as he was about to put away the vessel of the dead soul, but unexpectedly the vessel suddenly vibrated violently.
Oops!
Xu Mu widened his eyes. Could it be that the gift from the system was unable to accommodate the monarch-level spirit essence?
"Hmm..." Seeing this, Zhu Meng chuckled and looked at the scene with satisfaction. He handed Xu Mu a more advanced ghost vessel and said, "Use mine. Your ghost vessel is too low-level."
Xu Mu took the vessel of the dead soul handed to him by Zhu Meng with a toothache, and then carefully transferred the essence in his hand over.
He did not dare to hesitate, otherwise if he was a step late, his vessel would be broken because it could not withstand the power of the monarch-level spirit.
Let me give you a hint, there will be a story about the Promise Tree later, and then the Ancient Capital.
