Chapter 93. Mo Fan: I only want practical things!
This ethereal power gradually solidified, astonishingly transforming into ancient stone tablets!
Each stone tablet is over ten meters tall. They were made from previous marks, patterns, and symbols. So what was originally just a totem pattern with a bluish-black glow was transformed in an instant into a sky-high stele made up of countless ancient rocks!
"Pyrim!"
The Silver Dome Lord sensed this terrifying power and wanted to call upon his people to resist it.
Unfortunately, its people didn't have time to gather before the stone tablet crashed down. The Silver Sky Lord was instantly struck by the stone tablet, which carried its enormous body as it plummeted downwards at a speed many times faster than when it was ascending.
Because of the high speed, even the perfect feathers on the Silver Dome seemed to turn red as it fell!
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!!!!"
"."
The ancient stele crashed deep into the ground, leaving a huge crater.
"puff!!"
After the Silver Dome Lord was pinned to the abyss, which lies between two parallel highways splattered with the Silver Dome Lord's blood, the abyss was now between them.
The Totem Serpent didn't allow the Silver Sky Lord to fly into the sky at all; it didn't even have the power to make it stand on the ground, directly suppressing it beneath the earth's surface—it was extremely tyrannical!
The ancient totem power was released, and the Silver Sky Lord was severely injured in almost a single blow.
This was unlike any previous attack; this time, it was enough to leave a lifelong shadow on the Silver Dome Lord.
Upon witnessing this scene, Zhu Meng felt a slight sense of despair.
No matter how powerful humans become, they seem to be insurmountably far behind creatures like the Totem Serpent. The power of that single strike was utterly indescribable.
Because both of these colossal creatures were enormous, the Silver Dome Lord's blood-soaked appearance was visible to many people far from the city.
People were astonished for a very long time and seemed to be shrouded in fear of the White Devil Legion for a very long time. When they saw the ruler, the Silver Sky Lord, being so severely injured by the Totem Serpent, they couldn't help but cheer.
At this moment, they were completely convinced that the totem snake was truly protecting them!
The Silver Dome Lord rose again, but it had lost all its former regal majesty. Instead, after a mournful cry, it took to the air and fled.
It chose to flee. Being no match for the totem serpent, it knew that staying here would surely lead to its doom.
"Gah!!!"
Watching the fleeing Silver Sky Lord, the victorious Totem Serpent did not pursue it. Even though the Serpent could kill the Silver Sky Lord, it would not do so.
Because the Silver Sky Lord is dead, the White Demon Eagle clan will become even more restless, and these lesser demons can't be watched by the Xuan Snake every moment.
Furthermore, even without the Silver Dome Lord, a new aerial overlord will emerge. Therefore, by letting the Black Serpent go, it will actually become docile for a long time after being thoroughly beaten.
"Gah!!!"
Although it did not pursue, the Xuan Snake raised its proud serpent king head and let out a series of roars that resounded throughout the sky and the earth!
Its voice carried far and wide, echoing not only in the west, but also in the great forests, plains, and river basins of other directions.
It was as if it were announcing that the ruler of Xiling, the Silver Sky Lord, had been defeated, and that the demons of all directions were also announcing that its totem, the Xuan Snake, was in this city, and that if they dared to cross the boundary, they would surely be slaughtered!
This domineering roar was enough to resound throughout all corners of Hangzhou!
Hangzhou has been peaceful for many years. Perhaps people just thought that the demons in the vicinity didn't have much of an interest in this place.
Unfortunately, they couldn't understand that it wasn't that these demons had no ideas, but rather that there was a totem snake here.
This is not a place they would dare to set foot in.
Naturally, many demon tribes dared not easily invade. Now that even the enormous White Demon Eagle tribe had been driven back, nearby demon tribes were even less inclined to approach this area.
Post-war
The black snake dragged Mo Fan to Zhu Meng's place.
"You did a great job. It was you who saved Hangzhou. From now on, I will no longer regard it as a threat." Zhu Meng said, looking at Mo Fan and the enormous black serpent.
"Actually, if you continue to view it as a hidden danger, your career will be over, because from today onwards, all the residents of Hangzhou will regard it as a god," Mo Fan said with a smile.
Zhu Meng's lips twitched, but there was no denying that it was a fact.
"Let's get down to business. I saved Hangzhou and even gathered herbs to help people suffering from febrile diseases. You're not going to leave me with nothing, are you?" Mo Fan got straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng was speechless. This kid, is he always so blunt about asking for benefits?
Don't you care about your own image at all?
"Put it down."
Before Zhu Meng could speak, Mo Fan interrupted, "Wait a minute, let me speak first."
"???"
Zhu Meng was puzzled. What kind of trouble was this kid planning to cause now?
"I know the World University Competition is approaching, but I don't want any insider tickets or anything like that. I don't need them. Besides, I don't care about any honorary awards. I'm rather poor. As a high-ranking councilor, whether you represent yourself or Hangzhou, it shouldn't be a problem for you to reward me with a few high-level magical tools, right?"
This left not only Zhu Meng but also Tang Zhong and the others speechless.
However, it cannot be denied that Mo Fan did make great contributions, whether it was stopping the spread of the febrile disease or saving the Xuan Snake and leading it to repel the White Demon Eagle.
Whether it's the Tang family trial committee, Wei Fang, or even Zhu Meng, they all have to acknowledge this favor.
"Wait for news!" Zhu Meng neither said he would give it to them nor that he wouldn't.
Mo Fan didn't care, because he believed Zhu Meng would definitely arrange it for him. However, before leaving, he still specifically reminded him, "Forget about the armor magic tools. The materials from the Xuan Snake's shed skin are enough for me to make armor magic tools. As for the demon-slaying tools, I don't need them either. The rest is fine."
Teacher Tang Yue, standing to the side, was speechless. This kid was really mercenary!
However, Tang Yue could actually understand Mo Fan.
After all, he's a guy with no background, and he got to where he is today entirely through his own hard work.
He has no family or lineage, and fame is indeed not important.
As for the spots at world-class universities, as long as the people in charge aren't idiots, with a push from Dean Xiao of Pearl Academy, Mo Fan will definitely be able to get in.
To put it bluntly, Mo Fan does possess that kind of strength.
He was already at a high level at this point. Who could imagine how powerful Mo Fan would become a year later!
