Dragon's Origin

Chapter 213: Combat Enlightenment (Part 1)

The old Daoist was showing Wang Sheng what he had learned when suddenly, a clawed baboon jumped out.

This clawed baboon appeared from the cliff top of the mountain wall. It should have been living in the core area of the Thousand Layered Lands. It was unclear how it discovered Wang Sheng and the old Daoist’s presence, so it came out to hunt.

In the eyes of the clawed baboon, the two weak humans were simply its food, and rather delicious food at that.

Ordinary clawed baboons outside are at most at the fifth stage, five-star level. But in the Thousand Layered Lands, they can probably reach the sixth stage. As for the core of the Thousand Layered Lands, seventh stage clawed baboons are only qualified to live in the marginal areas.

Wang Sheng’s combat awareness little man had already issued a warning, but with the old Daoist by his side, Wang Sheng could ignore even the most powerful warning. He had already driven away all the insects in this area. Large demon beasts, no matter how strong, as long as they hadn’t yet transformed into human form, were all beneath the old Daoist’s notice.

This clawed baboon was unlucky to run into the old Daoist. However, the old Daoist didn’t seem to have the intention of directly killing the clawed baboon in one go. Watching the clawed baboon pounce down from the air, the old Daoist suddenly gave up demonstrating and unceremoniously pushed Wang Sheng out.

“Here’s a toy, you can practice with it.” The old Daoist even greeted Wang Sheng when he withdrew his hand, “Always sitting in secluded cultivation to comprehend, your body must be rusting!”

The old Daoist meant well. Combat is something that requires constant training to allow the body to adapt to the rhythm and even retain muscle memory, making certain reactions instinctive. To be honest, Wang Sheng hadn’t directly participated in combat for a long time. No matter how deeply he comprehended the Nine Words Incantation, some reactions might be a second slower when facing a real enemy.

Wang Sheng also understood this principle, otherwise, military camps on Earth wouldn’t have so much training. Now that the old Daoist was holding the line, Wang Sheng certainly didn’t mind fighting this clawed baboon.

Baboons are terrifying creatures on Earth, omnivorous and ferocious. The clawed baboons living in the core area of the Thousand Layered Lands were even more so.

The clawed baboon seemed to have known that there was something wrong with the mountain wall, so when it jumped down from the mountain wall, it didn’t touch the mountain wall at all, but directly leapt into the air, jumping down from a height of over a hundred zhang without any regard.

Wang Sheng was startled. It was over 400 meters high. Jumping like that without a parachute would turn a living person into a meat pie. But this clawed baboon didn’t care at all and just jumped down like that. Its combat strength was evident.

Avoiding the landing area of the clawed baboon, Wang Sheng aimed and flashed behind the clawed baboon. However, the trick that worked every time against ordinary demon beasts failed here. Still in the air, the clawed baboon had already turned its body with its waist strength. No matter how Wang Sheng adjusted his position, it always faced Wang Sheng.

The old Daoist’s aura seemed to disappear all of a sudden. After his presence was suddenly weakened to a certain extent, Wang Sheng was as clear as a bonfire in the dark night, and was regarded as the main target by the clawed baboon.

The clawed baboon’s movements were very fast. Almost as soon as it landed, it used the strong leg strength to bounce up and pounce on Wang Sheng. Its claws opened in the air, and ten dagger-like claws grabbed towards Wang Sheng’s shoulders from the left and right.

If the claws were to grab firmly, even if Wang Sheng was wearing protective clothing made of eighth-stage demon beast skin, he might not be able to block these sharp claws. Moreover, the power contained in the claws was even more terrifying. To say nothing else, just thinking about how this guy could jump from a height of more than 400 meters and continue to bounce with just a bend of his legs, one could imagine its power.

Wang Sheng held the half-foot-long famous knife in his right hand, and the tiger tooth in his left hand, staring closely at the clawed baboon. This thing moved extremely fast, but it liked to jump around, which was enough for Wang Sheng to take advantage of.

As long as this thing was in the air, no matter how much power it had, it could only exert the potential energy caused by the force of just kicking off the ground. As long as Wang Sheng didn’t face it head-on, he wouldn’t bear that terrifying power.

In terms of power, Wang Sheng himself was not weak. The Boundless Strength triggered by the Bixi Transformation, after such a long time of strengthening by the Nine Words Incantation, might not be smaller than the clawed baboon.

Facing the clawed baboon’s claws, Wang Sheng punched one of them with his fist holding the hilt of the knife. Bang, the clawed baboon’s figure was skewed. The next moment, Wang Sheng’s tiger tooth slid across the clawed baboon’s ribs.

It drew blood. But it only scratched a thin layer. Even though Wang Sheng had used his powerful spiritual energy to bless it, coupled with the sharpness of the tiger tooth military knife, the clawed baboon’s fur bore most of the cutting force, and only a little bit could reach the skin.

Bang, seeing that the military knife didn’t work, Wang Sheng simply leaned his body and directly bumped his shoulder against the clawed baboon’s shoulder. The difference was that Wang Sheng was standing on solid ground, while the clawed baboon’s body was still in the air. When the two collided, the clawed baboon seemed to hit a spring and was knocked away.

Boom, the clawed baboon, which was two feet taller than Wang Sheng, was knocked towards the mountain wall by Wang Sheng. The clawed baboon, unable to dodge, crashed heavily into the mountain wall. Then the rebound force of the mountain wall burst out, and the clawed baboon screamed and repeated the encounter Wang Sheng had when he first carved the mountain wall. The entire huge body flew out horizontally.

Wang Sheng seized the opportunity and punched the clawed baboon in the back of the heart. The clawed baboon, which was flying vertically, suddenly changed to flying horizontally, and the screams in its mouth were even more miserable.

Three times in a row, the clawed baboon didn’t land, all in the air. After three consecutive blows, the clawed baboon, which had rolled several times in the air, had completely lost the initiative. Because the rebound from the mountain wall was too strong, it didn’t even react when Wang Sheng hit the back of its heart.

Take advantage of his illness to kill him. After Wang Sheng punched out, he immediately kicked the ground and pounced in the direction of the clawed baboon. The tiger tooth dagger only blocked the clawed baboon’s instinctively raised claws, and the half-foot-long famous knife pierced into the clawed baboon’s right eye.

In the clawed baboon’s shrill screams, Wang Sheng used the force of the half-foot-long famous knife inserted into the clawed baboon’s right eye to flip over in the air and landed behind the clawed baboon. The tiger tooth military knife directly swept across the clawed baboon’s carotid artery. This time, the clawed baboon’s fur failed to block the tiger tooth military knife, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Wang Sheng retreated rapidly, even releasing the half-foot-long famous knife. The severely injured clawed baboon roared repeatedly in place, covered its eyes and pressed the half-foot-long famous knife deeper into its eye socket. After a few mad roars, it completely fell down and never moved again.
