Dragon's Origin

Chapter 795: Sniping Trap (Part 2)

Less than three miles away, a little over a thousand meters, with a Mach 9 arrow speed, it could almost be said that the moment Wang Sheng pulled the trigger, before he even had time to completely offset the recoil, the arrow had already hit its target.

At such speed, even a thirteenth-realm master could be caught off guard. Not to mention that the opponent thought Wang Sheng was still using the original heavy sniper crossbow, the kind that even a legendary master's defense couldn't penetrate, so they fearlessly rushed forward, not even bothering to dodge.

Some experts in the courtyard knew that the power of the heavy sniper crossbow had greatly increased, that it was no longer the same as before. Unfortunately, they couldn't notify the old ancestor who had already pounced out.

The moment the tooth arrow struck, the old ancestor who was pouncing finally realized something was wrong, but it was too late. All he could do was mobilize all the spiritual energy in his body and defend with all his might, trying to block the tooth arrow outside his protective suit with his powerful cultivation.

The teeth of a thirteenth-realm deep-sea shark, with an unbelievable sharpness, easily pierced through all defenses and plunged into the master's right lung.

Before he could even feel the pain, a violent explosion erupted inside his body.

An old ancestor is still an old ancestor. When the tooth arrow exploded in the courtyard, the legendary master was directly blown to pieces. However, inside the old ancestor's body, all the explosions seemed to be restrained by the old ancestor's powerful body, and no such large-scale, tragic explosion occurred.

If there was someone beside the old ancestor, they would only hear a slight, muffled sound like opening a beer bottle. Looking at the old ancestor's body, which hadn't even been pierced by the tooth arrow, they would definitely think that the old ancestor had blocked the arrow head-on.

And that was indeed the case. The arrow was indeed blocked by the old ancestor, not even penetrating his body. But the price the old ancestor paid for blocking this arrow was the complete shattering of one side of his ribs, and his right lung, half his stomach, half his left lung, and half his heart all turned into a pile of rotten flesh.

The pouncing body stopped directly in place. The powerful vitality allowed this old ancestor to still breathe with the remaining half of his lung, and he could still feel, but at this moment, all he could feel was his life force slowly draining away.

No one can survive with half their heart destroyed. Being able to stand and feel now is just the final afterglow.

After Wang Sheng fired the arrow, knowing that he had hit the target, he didn't dare to stay for even a moment to watch the result. He directly retrieved the heavy sniper crossbow into his storage ring and turned to run. While running, he used a sonic wave that only Da Xue could hear to call it to fly over quickly.

He had no choice but to escape. On the mountains on both sides, which had been silent, suddenly appeared two auras as powerful as the old ancestor directly opposite him. At least two ancestors from some family five hundred years ago rushed over, their target being Wang Sheng.

The Dai family had been plotting against Wang Sheng, making Wang Sheng get news from various channels that the Dai family only had one injured old ancestor recuperating and guarding here, but secretly they had ambushed another two ancestors from who knows which family, just to be able to intercept Wang Sheng.

For these unsealed ancestors, Lin Xiu was the first threat, so Wang Sheng, who was most likely to know Lin Xiu's whereabouts, naturally became the biggest target. It wasn't difficult for them to unite to deal with Wang Sheng alone.

These old ancestors deceived everyone, making everyone think that they were either consolidating their cultivation in the capital or guarding the core of the Thousand Despair Land. Even the well-informed Shadow Old Eunuch was deceived. Who would have thought that three of them would be willing to stay silently on the Dai family's side?

Wang Sheng didn't doubt that the Shadow Old Eunuch would坑 (kēng - deceive/pit) him. It wasn't that the Shadow didn't have that starting point. If starting from the imperial family's perspective, from that ancestor of the imperial family, the Shadow had a high probability of harming Wang Sheng. But the Shadow's status was too low. This kind of conspiracy couldn't be informed to someone of the Shadow's level in advance, unless they had determined in advance that Wang Sheng would definitely go to the Shadow, betting on this possibility was too low.

Most importantly, the object of the Shadow's loyalty was the Emperor himself, not a five-hundred-year-old ancestor of the Emperor's family. At that time, the Emperor's family had not yet become the imperial family, and that ancestor himself did not have the aura of an Emperor, so it was impossible to gain the Shadow's loyalty.

Two thirteenth-realm old ancestors were chasing him from the left and right. Wang Sheng would be crazy not to escape. The closest one was only about five miles away from Wang Sheng. The time it would take for him to rush over wasn't enough for Wang Sheng to reload, let alone the other one. Only a fool would stay in place.

Wang Sheng fled desperately, completely disregarding his image. As long as he persisted for one or two minutes, until Da Xue came to pick him up, Wang Sheng could escape. Da Xue's supersonic speed was definitely not something these ancestral masters could catch up with.

Wang Sheng didn't know which family the two masters chasing him were from, and he didn't know which family the guy he shot was from either. Anyway, when Wang Sheng was lurking, these guys didn't find Wang Sheng's location. It wasn't until Wang Sheng made his move that they found Wang Sheng's trace and started chasing him.

A minute later, Wang Sheng had already seen Da Xue's white figure flying over, and he felt relieved. The masters behind him were still more than five hundred meters away from him. Although they would be caught up in at most half a minute, they had no chance now.

Just as this thought arose, a figure suddenly jumped out from Da Xue's flight path, directly launching a sudden attack on Da Xue, who had already lowered its flying altitude. Judging from the aura and speed he revealed, this was another ancestral master.

They actually used four ancestral masters to chase Wang Sheng alone? Wang Sheng was also taken aback by this sudden change, followed by a sudden tightening in his heart.

Da Xue's figure was hit solidly, and even the direction of its flight was deviated. However, Da Xue immediately adjusted, circled around, and still wanted to fly towards Wang Sheng's side.

"Da Xue! Go!" Wang Sheng hurriedly shouted a seven-character formula at Da Xue, telling Da Xue to leave quickly. Surrounded by three thirteenth-realm masters, Da Xue had already been hit once, and seeing that its speed had decreased, keeping Da Xue here at this time would be tantamount to letting Da Xue die. Wang Sheng would never do such a thing.

While letting Da Xue leave, Wang Sheng adjusted his direction and fled desperately. Surrounded by three thirteenth-realm masters, Wang Sheng's chances of leaving were slim.

"Don't kill him, capture him alive!" A voice from the diagonal rear entered Wang Sheng's ears. It was the voice of one of the ancestral masters instructing the other two companions.

Hearing this voice, Wang Sheng's heart suddenly moved, and an incredible thought instantly surged into Wang Sheng's mind.

Was the Dai family making such a big show just to capture him alive?
