Dragon's Origin

Chapter 743: The First Wave of Enemies (Part 2)

The opponent's skill was extremely high. Even Wang Sheng only discovered them when they were within a li of him. However, at this distance, it was impossible for Wang Sheng and the others to leave silently.

Surrounding Wang Sheng were at least fifteen people, all of them Legendary experts. From the moment Wang Sheng sensed their presence, he hadn't noticed any unnecessary movements from them. It was as if they were elite soldiers who had trained countless times, with clear divisions of labor and tacit cooperation. They were approaching from several directions, silently and stealthily, truly experts among experts.

The experts that Wang Sheng acknowledged weren't referring to their cultivation realm. In terms of cultivation realm, these people were all in the Legendary Realm, belonging to the top tier of experts in this world, but Wang Sheng didn't necessarily think highly of them. Wang Sheng considered them skilled because of their actions—tracking, stealth, encirclement, cooperation—everything was comparable to Wang Sheng, the special forces ace sniper.

Which family are these people from? When did the Eight Great Families cultivate such a group of hidden experts, who are so proficient in these skills? Are they trying to make it impossible for others to survive?

A'Qi originally intended to get up and follow Wang Sheng, but suddenly noticed that Wang Sheng was slightly hunched over, adopting a posture ready to attack. He was immediately shocked and followed suit, assuming a defensive stance.

Lin Ling, on Wang Sheng's back, couldn't help but groan when hit by Wang Sheng's aura. This movement made their position even more obvious, almost clearly telling those experts their current location.

To Wang Sheng's surprise, even though the opponents knew their location, the dozen or so people only moved forward another hundred meters or so, stopping two hundred meters away from Wang Sheng. They neither attacked nor retreated, as if they were only there to confirm their position.

Could they be from the Song family? The only family that knows Wang Sheng can single-handedly fight more than a dozen newly advanced Legendary experts is the Song family. So, knowing they are no match, they don't come up to provoke him, but instead surround Wang Sheng and wait for reinforcements?

This is possible, especially inside the Thousand Layered Earth. The Song family's most elite experts lived in the Thousand Layered Earth for ten years back then, and only they can truly master the survival skills inside.

Just as Wang Sheng was pondering whether to immediately engage in a life-or-death battle with this group from the Song family, he suddenly smelled a familiar scent. It was from one of the experts. If they were still at the distance when Wang Sheng first discovered them, Wang Sheng wouldn't dare to be certain, but at such a close distance, Wang Sheng could completely confirm it.

This was a jungle, unlike the previous glacier basin where Wang Sheng could smell the scent of demonic beasts several miles away with the help of the wind. Here, various scents were mixed together. Within a hundred meters of the forest, there were no less than tens of thousands of scents. It was normal not to discover it at first. After smelling this person's scent, Wang Sheng could basically determine which family they were from.

No! Wang Sheng suddenly became alert. If it were that family, it would be possible for their people to be well-trained, but it would never be so… experienced. Yes, experienced, too experienced. Each of these silent experts seemed to have emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Although their killing intent was extremely restrained, how could they possibly hide it from Wang Sheng? Moreover, what reason would they have to be so proficient in skills they didn't need to master?

Those dozen or so experts were simply the most skilled assassins, cautious, careful, and professional. If ordinary experts reached this level, they would definitely be famous throughout the world, but Wang Sheng couldn't sense any previously heard characteristics from these people, as if they were simply a group of assassins hidden in the darkness.

That's it! Wang Sheng confirmed again, finally able to identify these people. But, that person was actually with them. This world is truly interesting beyond words.

"Shenwei Prison mobilized so many people, it seems they really think highly of me!" Wang Sheng stood up straight and said to his front. His voice was mixed with the Nine Word Incantation, ensuring that everyone could hear him but without alarming people in a larger area.

"Lord's strength is known throughout the world." Someone immediately replied from the opposite side, "Even using more people wouldn't be excessive. We only have this many people we can send out, which makes Lord laugh. But why can Lord be so sure that we are from Shenwei Prison?"

Previously, various parties used the Grandmaster concert to advance to the Legendary Realm. Although there were 20,000 spots, most of them were monopolized by the Eight Great Families. The other small families and forces combined only received a quarter at most. Five thousand spots sounded like a lot, but divided among hundreds of forces, plus some who failed to advance successfully, it was already quite difficult for Shenwei Prison to gather a dozen Legendary experts.

"Besides experienced assassins, who else can approach me so silently?" Wang Sheng gave the other party a very respectful answer: "Only the most powerful assassins are possible. The people of Worry-Free City don't have your kind of fierce aura, so it can only be Shenwei Prison."

"Thank you for the praise, Lord." The other party wasn't in a hurry to attack, echoing Wang Sheng's words in response: "If these words of Lord were to spread, I believe Shenwei Prison's business would improve by at least 30 percent."

"I can pay double the commission for this time." Wang Sheng didn't waste any more words and directly said to the people over there: "Shenwei Prison has cooperated with me more than once or twice, and hasn't encountered a bigger spender than me, right?"

"Lord is certainly Shenwei Prison's biggest customer, and that hasn't changed to this day." The person over there laughed, sounding very sincere: "If it were business, we wouldn't even accept bounties targeting Lord. This time it's not business, so I'm sorry, Lord."

"Not business?" Wang Sheng suddenly laughed: "So, it's Shenwei Prison's own plan?"

The Eight Great Families have already come out in full force. Is it difficult to understand that Shenwei Prison wants to get involved? It's too normal. If Wang Sheng guessed correctly, almost all the famous forces have probably entered the Thousand Layered Earth, trying to find some opportunities, right?

"You could say that." The other party smiled and admitted: "Lord and we have cooperated so pleasantly in business, in fact, we can still cooperate this time. As long as Lord cooperates, we will never offend Lord and Lady Qi."

"Cooperation is possible." Wang Sheng smiled: "But there's a question I want to know first. Is Shenwei Prison really Shenwei Prison, or Royal Shenwei Prison? Old Shen."
