Dragon's Origin

Two figures, one a familiar face, Daoist Qingling, the other someone I'd never seen before, an unremarkable old man.

If that middle-aged assassin was telling the truth, then this inconspicuous old man should be the legendary assassin Shi Zun from Divine Might Prison.

Daoist Qingling was in front, with Shi Zun following behind. Seeing Wang Sheng standing from afar, Daoist Qingling seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and quickly reached Wang Sheng's side, then vigilantly stared at the old man following closely behind.

Seeing the charred corpse on the ground, the old man's expression suddenly changed. When he turned his gaze to Wang Sheng, his eyes narrowed, and Wang Sheng could clearly feel the other's gaze fixed on the long knife in his hand.

At the same time, an indescribable killing intent emanated from the old man. Even a powerful sniper like Wang Sheng, who didn't know how many people he had killed, couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.

Daoist Qingling stepped forward, blocking Wang Sheng from the old man, and said loudly, "Shi Zun, you said you would never take action!"

This ordinary-looking old man was indeed Shi Zun, the most terrifying legendary assassin from Divine Might Prison. As expected of the strongest assassin, the killing intent he carried with him could really make some people with weak wills collapse on the spot.

However, Daoist Qingling did impress Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng had never really estimated Daoist Qingling's cultivation, because the old Daoist had never shown it. Now, Daoist Qingling was actually standing in front of Wang Sheng to face Shi Zun. It wouldn't be accurate to say that Daoist Qingling was evenly matched with Shi Zun, but at least he was a master who could buy Wang Sheng enough time to escape.

If he didn't fear Daoist Qingling, the middle-aged assassin wouldn't have needed Shi Zun to distract Daoist Qingling, which already said a lot.

Seeing that Shi Zun seemed to be at the peak of his anger, as if he would attack at any moment, another figure rushed over from another direction at a rapid speed. He was extremely fast, and just a shadow in the distance, he stood next to another giant cauldron in the next moment.

Another acquaintance of Wang Sheng, Steward Zhou from the opposite mansion. His true identity was one of the three old monsters of the royal family, the Emperor's personal guard.

Arriving at the scene, he was shocked to see the confrontation. Wang Sheng was actually standing there unscathed, while Shi Zun and Daoist Qingling were facing each other, and there was also a charred corpse on the ground that was burned to a crisp, making it impossible to identify the identity. What was going on?

"Shi Zun, you said you would never take action!" Seeing another master, Daoist Qingling said to Shi Zun again without changing his expression.

Steward Zhou instantly understood what had happened. Shi Zun had previously appeared to warn the royal family that the target was not them and also expressed that Shi Zun would not take action. But the current situation was clearly that the assassin from Divine Might Prison had failed to attack Wang Sheng and was killed by Wang Sheng instead. Shi Zun was somewhat embarrassed and angry and wanted to take action regardless of the previous rules.

"This old man's promises are not that cheap." Shi Zun's sharp gaze swept over everyone, his voice shrill, as if some sharp blade was scraping against their eardrums, making them extremely uncomfortable.

Both Daoist Qingling and Steward Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the two of them faced Shi Zun together, they still felt an unbearable pressure. It was best to avoid fighting such a master if possible, and absolutely avoid offending him if possible.

"Blood Blade was already a master of the Legendary Realm, how did you survive and kill him?" In the end, Shi Zun's gaze focused on Wang Sheng, and he asked in that uncomfortable voice.

As soon as these words came out, Daoist Qingling and Steward Zhou were shocked. The one who attacked Wang Sheng was actually another rising star from Divine Might Prison, Blood Blade, a master of the Legendary Ninth Realm?

Wang Sheng was just a junior of the Fourth or Fifth Realm, how did he survive the attack of a Ninth Realm master?

But what was even more terrifying was that Wang Sheng not only survived, but actually killed Blood Blade. How was this possible?

The two of them were shouting wildly in their hearts, but the facts before them prevented them from raising any doubts. Wang Sheng was standing here, there was a charred corpse lying on the ground, Wang Sheng was holding a long knife that looked exactly like a legendary long knife, and Shi Zun, the legendary old assassin from Divine Might Prison, was sternly questioning Wang Sheng. All of this showed that what they heard, saw, and guessed were all facts and could not be refuted.

Steward Zhou's heart was already in turmoil. Since knowing that Shi Zun's target might be Wang Sheng, the Emperor, Old Monster Li, and himself all agreed to temporarily not interfere. Anyway, Shi Zun had very strict rules and would never harm the innocent. They were happy to watch the show.

According to the Emperor, Old Monster Li, and Steward Zhou's speculation about Wang Sheng's character, Wang Sheng was also a very principled person. As long as the royal family didn't deal with him, he shouldn't use his poisonous gas bomb weapon.

If Shi Zun could kill Wang Sheng, it would be equivalent to removing a hidden danger for the Emperor. Although this hidden danger was now likely to be drawn to their side, people's hearts were unpredictable, and dead people were the safest.

If Shi Zun didn't succeed, it wouldn't matter. It would show that Wang Sheng was even more valuable to win over and utilize. However, this possibility could be said to be extremely low, almost impossible. For at least fifty years, no one had been able to escape from Shi Zun's attack. Even if Wang Sheng had repeatedly performed miracles, he couldn't fill this huge gap in cultivation.

However, the impossible had actually happened. Even if Shi Zun didn't take action, Blood Blade's attack had almost the same effect! Blood Blade had only risen to prominence in the past twenty years, but he always killed with every strike and had never failed. Unexpectedly, he had fallen into Wang Sheng's hands.

The earth-shattering explosion and the resulting shock had alarmed the entire capital. How did Wang Sheng create such a big commotion? How did he kill Blood Blade, a master of the Legendary Realm? Not only did Shi Zun want to know, but Daoist Qingling and Steward Zhou also had great curiosity.

The eyes of the three peerless masters were all on Wang Sheng, waiting for Wang Sheng to answer. The pressure from the three peerless masters made Wang Sheng involuntarily take a step back. But it was only a step, and Wang Sheng stood in place, not retreating any further.

"Senior, you have killed so many masters, you must have encountered those with higher cultivation than you. How did you kill the target with the highest cultivation?" After standing still, Wang Sheng did not answer Shi Zun's question, but asked in return.

"How could I tell you the secrets of an assassin?" Shi Zun responded coldly.

"Junior is also an assassin, a Blue Plaque assassin from Worry-Free City." Wang Sheng also replied to Shi Zun: "How could I tell you the secrets of an assassin?"
