Dragon's Origin

The distance was short, so there was no delay due to arrow speed or sound speed; that little delay could be ignored.

The bowstring vibrated, and everyone who could move instinctively shrank their necks, almost simultaneously hearing a thunderous explosion.

Everyone's first reaction was to quickly check if they were injured. No pain throughout the body meant it probably wasn't them, so was it their companions?

However, to the Second Prince's and the two old grand-uncles' relief, none of them were hit, not even their expert bodyguards.

The cultivation methods of the royal family are generally similar to the Emperor's, focusing on health preservation, longevity, and wisdom enhancement rather than combat. Therefore, they didn't immediately realize where the explosion had occurred.

The heavy arrow fired from Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow exploded using a powerful formation rather than gunpowder, so there was no fire, only sound. It was normal for the crowd not to see it.

Several leading nobles were relieved that the arrow hadn't struck them, which made them despise Wang Sheng from the bottom of their hearts. Wouldn't it have been better to directly kill the leaders? Hesitating and not even shooting accurately, or perhaps thinking of keeping the nobles alive for bargaining, having such thoughts meant that even if he was powerful, he was limited and not much of a threat, just a matter of price.

But the guards around the Second Prince felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their whole bodies turning cold.

Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow indeed didn't shoot any of them, but it directly shot the head of the old guardian who was fighting evenly with the three Grand Eunuchs.

The circle that ordinary Legend Realm experts couldn't enter, Wang Sheng's heavy arrow passed through without any hindrance. Perhaps it was because the speed was too fast, or perhaps because the force it carried was too powerful. Anyway, the heavy arrow directly struck the side of that old ancestor's head, seemingly hitting the ear.

The formation on the heavy arrow was triggered, probably not because it pierced through the old ancestor's head, but because it was rebounded by the old ancestor's spiritual energy. The power of the explosion wasn't directly inside the old ancestor's head, but on the surface tightly against it.

The Second Prince and the others couldn't sense it, but the guards were very clear. The old ancestor was indeed incredibly strong. Even Wang Sheng's heavy arrow didn't hurt him at all, at most making him look a little disheveled.

If this had been three days ago, when the old ancestor and the three Grand Eunuchs had just started fighting intensely, even a peak Legend Realm expert entering that circle would have been killed by the force field of the four. Even now, several Eighth Realm experts didn't dare approach, fearing being caught in it and losing their lives.

But now it was three days later, and the old ancestor and the three Grand Eunuchs had been fighting intensely for three days and three nights without stopping. For these experts, that circle was still a forbidden area that couldn't be entered, but for Wang Sheng's heavy arrow, it was completely unaffected.

The Grand Elder of Dai Country and hundreds of experts from a manor in Triumph Country had all died at Wang Sheng's hands. Wang Sheng's heavy sniper crossbow played a significant role in this, and it was not surprising to kill a Legend Realm expert with one shot.

Now, although Wang Sheng's first heavy arrow didn't kill the old ancestor or even break through his defense, don't forget that one shot of a heavy arrow is equivalent to a fatal blow from a Legend Realm expert. How many times could the old ancestor withstand such an attack while fighting intensely with the three Grand Eunuchs?

Sure enough, before the Second Prince and the others realized how serious the situation was, Wang Sheng's second arrow had once again hit that super old guardian.

This time, Wang Sheng changed his angle and wasn't in the original position. However, Wang Sheng shot two heavy arrows, and the guards couldn't find Wang Sheng's location, which made them very desperate.

What was even more desperate was that this time, Wang Sheng's arrow was aimed at one of the old ancestor's eyes and hit directly.

The old guardian, who was fighting with the three old eunuchs, could only close his eyes and rely on his eyelids and the powerful spiritual energy he had cultivated over the years to resist this fatal blow.

This time, the old guardian wasn't as lucky as with the previous arrow. The tip of the arrow directly pierced more than an inch deep, opening a skylight in the old guardian's eye. Red blood and transparent eye fluid splashed out and were slapped onto his entire face by the violent explosion.

In the darkness, except for Wang Sheng, no one could see such a magical scene. Even the three Grand Eunuchs directly opposite only knew that Wang Sheng had arrived and helped them shoot the opponent with two arrows, greatly restraining the opponent's mind and possibly injuring him, but they couldn't see so many colors.

The old guardian's strength was truly shocking. The eyes could be said to be one of the most fragile organs on the human body. Wang Sheng's arrow was enough to kill a late-stage Legend Realm expert, but it only pierced the old guardian's eye, and it was impossible to go any further.

However, this was enough. The royal family's three Grand Eunuchs were still fighting him on the opposite side. Suddenly diverting power to resist this fierce arrow would inevitably lead to a dispersion of power.

Pfft, a mouthful of blood spurted from the old guardian's mouth. This was the first time since the four had been fighting, and it was the most thrilling.

The nobles on the Second Prince's side finally understood where the two bowstring sounds and arrow explosions had come from. Hearing the sound of someone vomiting blood, everyone's faces turned pale.

The most important reason why everyone could stand here and force the Emperor was because of the old guardian's powerful strength. He alone withstood the combined attack of the three Grand Eunuchs, forcing them to join forces to deal with him and unable to move. Without the old guardian's intervention, these people would have been crushed to death like ants with a flick of the three Grand Eunuchs' fingers if they wanted to force the palace.

Before, they thought Wang Sheng just wanted to keep their lives to bargain, but they didn't expect that Wang Sheng would directly destroy the foundation upon which they could stand here. Once something happened to the old guardian, and the three Grand Eunuchs were freed up, none of them would be able to leave alive.

Your Majesty, we surrender, please don't destroy the pillars of the royal family!

The two grand-uncles from the宗人府 (Zongren Fu - Court of the Imperial Clan) decisively knelt at the entrance of the hall and begged the Emperor inside, "The old guardian cannot be lost!"

As long as the old guardian was fine, the two grand-uncles would still have hope of survival, otherwise, everyone would only die here.
