Dragon's Origin

Chapter 316: Escape (Part 2)

This kind of situation only happens after being poisoned by a potent toxin. When was I poisoned?

In the next moment, he understood. His arm and shoulder each had a piece of metal nailed into them. The feeling of numbness came from where they were embedded. The blood flowing out of those two spots was black.

That pig iron box was, of course, Wang Sheng's own large-scale bomb. Inside was compressed black gunpowder mixed with hundreds of sharp metal fragments.

These metal fragments not only had sharp edges, but Wang Sheng had also specially soaked them in certain mineral poisons, ensuring that as long as they hit and cut the body, they would cause poisoning to some extent.

The pig iron box contained more than two hundred kilograms of military-grade black gunpowder, all carefully prepared and processed by Wang Sheng. The explosive power reached sixty percent of TNT.

The explosion of more than two hundred kilograms of black gunpowder, coupled with the shrapnel from the pig iron box itself, ensured that basically no living creature inside the store survived. Within ten meters, it was a living hell.

Not everyone has the power of the Divine Power Prison Blood Blade or the strength of the World Honored One to survive such a large-scale explosion, especially since Wang Sheng had poisoned the shrapnel. Forget about the experts who entered the store, even the leading expert at the door couldn't dodge it.

Upon realizing that the spots on his shoulder and arm where he was hit by shrapnel were completely numb, the leading expert swallowed two antidote pills in a row and hurriedly used his spiritual energy to block the poison from rising, leaving him with no extra energy to care whether Wang Sheng had escaped.

Of the three experts tracking Wang Sheng, one was not within the range of the explosion's power. Although the explosion was extremely loud, it didn't cause him much harm. His ears only rang for a while before slowly returning to normal.

The problem was that during this time, he couldn't spare even a trace of energy to explore Wang Sheng's aura or discover Wang Sheng's whereabouts.

Wang Sheng relied on the 'Line' character formula to temporarily make his aura the same as the surrounding environment, achieving a brief invisibility effect. Using the smoke from the smoke grenade, Wang Sheng easily left the store, followed by the violent explosion.

No one could concentrate on searching for Wang Sheng or exploring his whereabouts during the explosion. When the expert who was not greatly affected remembered this, just as he was about to continue searching for Wang Sheng's familiar aura, he suddenly realized that Wang Sheng's aura seemed to be very close to him.

The expert was shocked. Before he could react, his neck tightened. A steel wire as thin as a strand of hair wrapped around his neck, and his body was directly pulled into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the expert only had time to insert his fingers between the steel wire and his neck, preventing the steel wire from strangling his throat immediately, but he couldn't do anything else.

When this eighth-level expert locked onto Wang Sheng's aura, wasn't he also locked onto by Wang Sheng's 'Line' character formula? Since there was only one guy who could track his aura, Wang Sheng naturally had to kill him before leaving, to avoid being constantly hunted down.

The back of the expert's neck and cervical spine were struck heavily. Wang Sheng used the force of pulling back on the steel wire and kneed the expert's back neck. The knee strike almost knocked the expert unconscious, but fortunately, his cultivation was good enough that he didn't lose consciousness.

Just as he was about to use force to pull his fingers and break the steel wire, the steel wire suddenly moved left and right. A sharp pain was transmitted to the expert's hand, and also to the back of his neck.

The expert couldn't figure out why this was happening even if his head was broken. If Wang Sheng explained it to him, he would definitely tell him that this was not an ordinary steel wire, but a specially customized wire saw. As long as it was pulled, the sharp serrations would saw through anything at the point of force.

Even an eighth-level expert, shocked by the violent explosion, ambushed by Wang Sheng's knee strike, and having his hands and neck constantly sawn back and forth by the wire saw, couldn't maintain his strength for long.

After only five or six pulls by Wang Sheng, the expert's fingers and throat had already been sawn off by Wang Sheng, and fresh blood gurgled out, taking away the life force of this eighth-level expert.

The smoke outside had not yet completely dissipated, but no one could detect Wang Sheng's踪迹 any longer. After a while, when the white smoke from the smoke grenade finally dissipated completely, people were stunned by what they saw at the store just now.

Not only the store that Wang Sheng entered, but at least four surrounding stores had collapsed. The store at the center of the explosion disappeared directly, four or five experts who rushed into the store were torn into pieces, and the remaining seven or eight were all covered in blood, lying motionless in various places around.

The leading expert dared not move and was helped by another subordinate to bandage the wounds on his shoulders and arms. He swallowed four or five antidote pills in a row to suppress the spread of the poison.

Where was Wang Sheng? When the leading expert finally recovered and planned to ask the other two companions who were tracking Wang Sheng's aura, he found that one of them had already lost his breath in the violent explosion just now.

What about the other one? The leading expert clearly remembered that the other companion did not enter the store, but watched from a distance, afraid that Wang Sheng would escape. Where was he now?

The leading expert didn't have to wait long. The two experts who didn't enter the store searched in that direction and brought back the corpse of the expert whose neck had been sawn in half.

At this point, unless everyone directly saw Wang Sheng's figure, it would be impossible to track Wang Sheng at all. Obviously, Wang Sheng had already left, and the corpse with the sawn neck was the proof.

The area around the store was not far from Worry-Free City. Although there were still more than a dozen experts guarding the city gate, Wang Sheng was not a fool and would definitely not run into the city. Going to both sides would lead to mountains, and going a little deeper would lead to forests. Trying to find Wang Sheng in the mountains would be a joke.

It could be said that the Dai family's plan to capture Wang Sheng alive this time had completely failed. Not only were the losses heavy, but Wang Sheng hadn't lost a single hair. It wouldn't be so easy to find such a good opportunity again.

Some distance from the center of the explosion, Shopkeeper Chen watched the situation there and shook his head non-stop.

This time, the Pavilion Master has wronged himself. The matter was originally a coincidence, but the Pavilion Master left early, which destined this misunderstanding to be impossible to eliminate easily.

Shopkeeper Chen actually had a lot of complaints about this. Could anything be more important than the secret of the Thousand Absolute Lands core? Why did he have to leave at this juncture? If he wanted to win Wang Sheng's cooperation again in the future, I'm afraid it would be useless for the Pavilion Master to come forward, and he would only be able to ask those great grandmasters who rarely move.

Wang Sheng didn't know what happened behind him. He had already gone around Worry-Free City and arrived at the edge of the Thousand Absolute Lands. In this area, the only places that could make Wang Sheng feel safe were the inner city of Worry-Free City and the Thousand Absolute Lands.
