Dragon's Origin

Chapter 204: Suicide Soldiers (Part 1)

Suicide soldiers don't necessarily need to have high cultivation. High cultivation doesn't guarantee a successful assassination, but low cultivation doesn't necessarily mean failure. As long as they're willing to give their lives, many experts sometimes fall to minor figures with low cultivation, because not everyone can maintain vigilance at all times.

Although the ultimate goal of suicide soldiers is to kill the target, they are different from assassins. Assassins strive to kill the target while trying to survive as much as possible. But suicide soldiers are different. As long as they kill the target, they never care whether they can survive.

Therefore, sometimes the methods and arrangements to defend against assassins cannot defend against suicide soldiers. Because when suicide soldiers act, they don't consider a way out at all. They will act in any place they can, regardless of the consequences, just to kill the target.

If you have to consider how an assassin escapes after the job, you can indeed defend against some assassins, but you can't stop suicide soldiers.

At least, the level of protection that Old Taoist Ling Xu is showing now is like this. He will watch over Wang Sheng's left and right, but he will not hinder Wang Sheng from suddenly doing something on a whim, nor will he hinder Wang Sheng from communicating with some master craftsmen.

Wang Sheng has already demonstrated master-level stone carving skills in front of all the craftsmen. After the initial surprise and disbelief, all the craftsmen have accepted this fact.

After spending some time together, some people began to ask Wang Sheng for advice. If it were martial arts advice, Wang Sheng probably wouldn't pay attention, but Wang Sheng is happy to exchange skills. Many times, indulging in cultivation cannot solve the bottleneck problem. On the contrary, breakthroughs in certain skills can lead to breakthroughs in other areas.

When someone asks for advice, Wang Sheng teaches enthusiastically. At this time, the old Taoist generally does not specifically stop him, but just cultivates and guards nearby.

The experts have already noticed the martial will. Who doesn't know that under the stimulation of this martial will, their martial arts cultivation can be further improved? Therefore, many people can see that when the old Taoist is guarding, he is actually closing his eyes to comprehend most of the time.

The opportunity has come. When Wang Sheng was once again entangled by a craftsman asking for advice, a murderous intent suddenly descended.

This craftsman looked to be in his thirties, with a cultivation of the third level. Moreover, this third-level cultivation was obviously accumulated through years of work, like Master Lu's spiritual energy cultivation suitable for carving, completely different from combat training.

Unless they can greatly overwhelm him in cultivation, otherwise, ordinary craftsmen of the same level will definitely not be able to defeat warriors of the same level.

Everyone could see the nature of this craftsman's cultivation, so neither Wang Sheng nor the old Taoist took this craftsman seriously. He had questions about carving skills, so Wang Sheng just pointed him out a little bit, in order to speed up the progress.

In fact, it's just a matter of a word. Sometimes people who get stuck in a rut are just missing a pointer, and Wang Sheng also enjoys the feeling of being respected for his skills.

From the beginning of the craftsman's request for advice to Wang Sheng's completion of the pointer, it was just a moment. Obviously, the craftsman who received the guidance was very excited and planned to immediately try it out on the mountain wall. The work of hollowing out the mountain wall was perfect for him to experiment with.

Every two standard rooms in width, a door will be opened on the mountain wall to facilitate entry and exit. When the excited craftsman entered the door, another craftsman happened to be carrying a stone bar out of it, intending to send the stone bar to the place where the city wall was being built.

The door was not big, only enough for one person to enter and exit, so the excited craftsman gave way and did not block the door, letting the craftsman carrying the stone bar come out first.

It was a particularly normal scene, and no one felt that there would be any problems in it, and no one noticed that anyone was obviously carrying a murderous intent. Wang Sheng didn't notice it, and even the old Taoist didn't notice it.

The reason why suicide soldiers are suicide soldiers is because of one thing. When they don't plan to act, no one can detect their murderous intent. A qualified suicide soldier's murderous intent will only erupt once in their lifetime, and after the eruption, they will not care about the consequences.

Wang Sheng also politely leaned aside to make way for others to work. At this time, it happened that Wang Sheng blocked the old Taoist's sight and body behind him, and he was face to face with the craftsman carrying the stone bar at close range.

The murderous intent erupted in an instant, and the attack also landed on Wang Sheng's chest in an instant. There was also an attack on his throat, but Wang Sheng reacted extremely quickly, and his gloved hands directly protected his fragile head, face, and throat, while activating the mask protection.

A sharp cone, very sharp, with the cold light flashing on it and the light that lit up showing that this cone was not only exceptionally sharp, but also had the blessing of a formation.

The cone as a whole looks like a chisel, usually used to chisel stones, and used as a weapon for attack at critical times, which is simply impossible to defend against.

The other party originally wanted to stab Wang Sheng's throat, but when the other party found that Wang Sheng's hand was already blocking the throat area, he instantly changed the target and inserted it directly into Wang Sheng's chest. Stabbing the throat may be caught by Wang Sheng's hand. Everyone knows that Wang Sheng's strength is amazing, and being caught will definitely lead to failure. Changing to the heart, Wang Sheng's action is already too late.

The suicide soldier's attack does not need to be complicated, nor does it need multiple targets, as long as one hit succeeds.

With a soft sound, in Wang Sheng's surprised gaze, the cone easily pierced through the protective coat with the protective formation and inserted into it. You must know that Wang Sheng's protective suit is a powerful protection made of eighth-level monster beast skin given by the Feng family, but it was pierced by the cone with one blow.

However, the attack ended there. Before the successful smile on the craftsman's face was completed, his head exploded into pieces with a bang.

The old Taoist took action, very quickly, perfectly killing him.

That's not all. At the same time as the old Taoist took action, he also pulled Wang Sheng to the side, and took Wang Sheng's place, facing the craftsman who took action.

Boom, the body of the craftsman who took action suddenly exploded, but at the moment of taking action, the craftsman suicide soldier used a secret method to detonate his body, striving to hurt people at the last moment.

If it weren't for the old Taoist's alertness, Wang Sheng would definitely bear the brunt of the power of this self-destruction. However, since the old Taoist has already stood in front, this degree of body self-destruction has almost no impact on the old Taoist, and he doesn't even get a drop of blood on his body.

However, Wang Sheng, who was thrown behind, grunted at this moment. The craftsman who had just asked him for advice was standing next to him, and at this moment, he was holding a chisel that looked just a different style, and stabbed it into Wang Sheng's protective suit from the side.
