Dragon's Origin

Chapter 2: Strange Abilities

Wang Sheng's record, from drawing his gun to accurately firing, was 0.5 seconds. However, when he just made his move, Wang Sheng felt like he had made another breakthrough, even faster than usual, estimating his speed at around 0.4 seconds.

Wang Sheng was not a bloodthirsty person. In fact, as a sniper on a mission, he sometimes had to disguise himself to blend into the target population, and it wasn't uncommon to suffer minor grievances. But that was limited to minor grievances; he had never encountered a situation where the other party explicitly stated they wanted to kill him and he still had to act like a pushover. So, as soon as he heard Dai Huan order everyone to be killed, Wang Sheng immediately took action.

The guards reacted quickly. Almost the instant Dai Huan gave the order, practically at the same moment Wang Sheng fired, at least five swords had already slashed across the targets' throats. On Song Yan's side, besides Song Yan, there was only a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties.

The middle-aged man moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, he easily broke free from his restraints. When the guard watching him thrust his sword at his throat, his hand had already grabbed the sword hilt, and his other hand shattered the guard's throat with a punch.

Equally quick was Song Yan, who looked delicate and charming. She was as still as a virgin and as swift as a rabbit escaping, and when she started fighting, she was fierce and aggressive, completely like a different person. She also seized a guard's long sword, but her movements were even more graceful, directly reversing the blade and smoothly slicing across the guard's throat.

Wang Sheng killing Dai Huan, the old man killing the guard, Song Yan killing the guard—all of this happened simultaneously within one second after Dai Huan gave the order.

However, when the gunshot rang out, everyone, including Song Yan, was stunned as they looked at the bloody hole in Dai Huan's forehead and watched him fall. Everyone looked on with disbelief, staring at the dead Dai Huan, then at the extremely calm Wang Sheng who spat on the ground. They felt that this scene was incredibly unreal. How was this possible?

Who was Dai Huan? He was the young master of the He Xi Dai family, the direct son of the current family head. As long as nothing went wrong, he would undoubtedly be the next family head. He dared to kidnap Song Yan, the direct daughter of the Tian He Song family head and the next successor, without any regard. One could imagine how great his power was. Several elders of the Song family were well aware of everything that was happening, but they turned a blind eye and allowed him to take Song Yan away, swaggering into the Song family's forbidden area. How could this be described by mere power and influence?

Dai Huan was always the one killing people; who would dare to kill Dai Huan? It's not that no one had tried, but those guys were killed by the Dai family's experts before they could even get within a hundred meters of Dai Huan. How could the lofty young master of the Dai family, the famous Young Master Huan, be killed by an unknown barbarian from the wilderness? And it happened under heavy guard?

In the eyes of the Dai and Song families, Wang Sheng's current appearance was indeed that of a barbarian. He wore a set of jungle camouflage clothing from head to toe, with garish colors that no one but barbarians would like, let alone wear. He had a helmet on his head, goggles on his face, and a large hard mask with a gas mask function. The jungle camouflage paint smeared on his face made him look like he had tattoos at first glance. This strange and mismatched attire, combined with such extensive tattoos on his face, left no other possibility than that he was a barbarian.

Young Master Dai Huan was killed by a barbarian. Not only were Song Yan and the old man stunned, but the Dai family's guards went completely crazy. They were responsible for protecting Young Master Huan, but now that he was dead and they were still alive, even a fool could guess the consequences.

The guards, realizing what had happened, didn't say a word. They threw down the miscellaneous items in their hands, drew their weapons, and charged toward Wang Sheng. Their targets included everyone present, even the Song family's miss and the surviving old man. Now that Young Master Huan was dead, how could the Song family's miss, the woman Young Master Huan had taken a fancy to, be allowed to live?

Unfortunately, the guards were fast, but not as fast as Wang Sheng. Now that he had already taken action and killed Dai Huan, would Wang Sheng leave these guards alive? The Glock 17 in his hand unleashed its formidable rate of fire and accuracy. Bang, bang, bang, bang—the sound rang out in quick succession. All the Dai family guards present, except for those surrounding the woman and the old man, were each shot once.

Only thirteen Dai family guards were left. Among the six who charged toward Wang Sheng, five didn't even have time to react before Wang Sheng shot them dead. What shocked Wang Sheng was that the remaining one was truly terrifyingly skilled. At the critical moment, he was able to dodge Wang Sheng's fatal shot. Even though he didn't completely avoid the bullet, he managed to avoid a fatal hit. Fortunately, Wang Sheng knew that he no longer had the element of surprise, so he aimed for the enemy's heart. Even though he didn't hit the heart, the bullet still struck the guard's chest, seriously wounding him.

Wang Sheng fired another shot, and the only one who wasn't dead was also shot in the head, ensuring he was thoroughly dead. Only then did Wang Sheng begin to observe the situation of the seven guards surrounding the old man and the woman. What he saw shocked him.

The old man originally had four opponents, but now there were only one and a half left. Two had already been decapitated, thoroughly dead, and one of the remaining two had just had an arm chopped off right before Wang Sheng's eyes. The old man's sword was now pointing at the chest of the last one.

Watching this scene, a thought suddenly flashed through Wang Sheng's mind, an incredible idea. If this sword were to deviate slightly upwards, the effect would be even better.

As soon as the thought arose, Wang Sheng saw the old man's sword being parried by his opponent, deflecting it to the side. If it had been thrust in the direction Wang Sheng had just thought of, the opponent wouldn't have even had a chance to block.

What was going on? Wang Sheng considered himself an expert among experts in modern firearms, and a master of hand-to-hand combat and knife fighting, but he never thought he would have such insight into swordsmanship. But what was that thought just now?

Turning his eyes, Wang Sheng saw the woman's movements not far away. This time it was even more obvious. Wang Sheng almost instantly judged the direction and force of the woman's sword strike, predicted the result of her strike, and even more, clearly and accurately judged which part of the woman's body was exerting force. As for improvement, it had already flashed in his mind the moment he saw her strike.

Not only the woman's attack movements, but also the movements of the woman's opponent were clear to Wang Sheng after a single glance, analyzing everything from the purpose to the result so thoroughly. The next second, Wang Sheng saw the result, which was exactly as he had predicted, without the slightest difference.

This was definitely not his original ability, Wang Sheng was now certain. This was a brand new ability that he had gained after coming to this strange world, and he didn't know how he got it.

"Could this be the gift you gave me?" Wang Sheng thought in his heart, thinking of the owner of those beautiful eyes, and secretly pondered: "I have come to your world, but where are you? Why did you make me kill you?"

While Wang Sheng was puzzled, Song Yan anxiously shouted at the old man, "Uncle Lao Yu, they took the Yuan Soul!"

"Miss, you take care of the son-in-law!" The old man suddenly reacted in the thick smell of blood and gunpowder, and shouted at Song Yan: "I'll go report to the elders immediately!"

Wang Sheng had just put the pistol back into the holster on his thigh when he suddenly heard the term "son-in-law", causing him to stagger and almost fall. What the hell was "son-in-law"?

Song Yan, who had just killed three Dai family guards without changing her expression, suddenly turned snow-white when she heard this title. Could Uncle Lao Yu not tell that she and Dai Huan were just pretending, and everything they said were lies? How could he inexplicably involve himself with a barbarian? Was it that she was so difficult to marry off?

Blushing or not, shy or not, Song Yan understood that what Uncle Lao Yu said was right. Wang Sheng descended from the sky and easily killed Dai Huan, which was definitely someone worth winning over.

The Song family's miss glanced at Uncle Lao Yu, who had just spoken, and a clear look flashed in the old man's eyes, nodding heavily at Song Yan. Song Yan didn't hesitate any longer, walked to Wang Sheng's side, and said decisively: "Let's go."

Wang Sheng had already poured the water out of his military boots, put them back on, and tied his shoelaces. While doing all this, there was no change on his face, his movements were steady, and his breathing was even, as if he hadn't killed those people just now.

"If you had turned the first sword a few degrees to the right when you killed the second person, and slowed down a bit, you could have killed him with one move." Wang Sheng clapped his hands, stood up, feeling uncomfortable wearing the wet clothes and pants. He stood up, looked at Song Yan, and the first thing he said to Song Yan was to tell her the shortcomings of her swordplay just now.

Song Yan immediately fell into deep thought, and in fact, another great wave had been set off in her heart. The killing sword technique just now was a secret passed down in the Song family, and she had used it in a hurry, so it was not in place. But Wang Sheng pointed out her shortcomings with one word, did Wang Sheng know the Song family's sword technique very well before?

Uncle Lao Yu was about to leave, but he was also stunned when he heard Wang Sheng's words. Song Yan was someone he had watched grow up, and he had also paid attention to Song Yan's side just now, and it was indeed as Wang Sheng said. However, how could outsiders know the core sword technique passed down by the Song family?

Wang Sheng also realized that the world he had come to was probably an extraordinary world. Song Yan, a mere woman, was like this, so one could imagine how terrifying those experts who had previously prevented her from resisting were. Not to mention the old man, Wang Sheng took it as normal for him to behead someone with a sword, but have you ever seen the terrifying scene of someone punching an opponent's throat and directly pulling out half of the poor worm's spine?

At this moment, Song Yan and Uncle Lao Yu's hearts were filled with more speculation about Wang Sheng's origins. Could this barbarian who fell from the sky really be a master from those hidden families? But looking at Wang Sheng's movements and strength, he didn't seem like a master, which was really hard to guess.

Falling from the sky, mysterious hidden weapons, the eyes to see through the flaws in the moves, strange costumes, all of this has given Wang Sheng a mysterious color.
