Dragon's Origin

#511 - The Killer's Secret (Part 2)

The secrets of an assassin, can they be told? Other assassins, I don't know, but at least Wang Sheng's secrets definitely can't be.

Killing Blood Blade was an effect Wang Sheng meticulously planned for a long time. Only in the enclosed space of the training room could Blood Blade stand right in the center of the black powder explosion, and only the temperature of the explosion could kill Blood Blade.

If it were any open space, Wang Sheng would have no way to achieve this. So much black powder, calculating angles and whatnot, couldn't be done casually in any other unfamiliar place.

If Wang Sheng had immediately escaped upon receiving the news, he definitely wouldn't have had this geographical advantage. He might have really been hunted down by a legendary master until not even bones remained.

Could this kind of secret be told? Reveal his own secrets, and then base his future survival on the World Honored One keeping his word? Wang Sheng wasn't that stupid.

Moreover, the emergence of black powder in Earth's history also triggered a weapons revolution, almost completely changing the way wars were fought. Wang Sheng himself was unwilling to be the promoter of this. He'd rather wait for others to have the opportunity to discover it and slowly promote it!

The World Honored One was speechless at Wang Sheng's answer. He couldn't very well say that Wang Sheng, an assassin from Worry-Free City, wasn't an assassin, and only the assassins of his Divine Might Prison were assassins, could he?

If the World Honored One dared to say that, Wang Sheng would dare to have Lingxu Old Daoist take action against the World Honored One in the name of a red-card assassin from Worry-Free City. Wang Sheng firmly believed that it was not impossible for Lingxu Old Daoist to return with the World Honored One's head.

The current World Honored One was obviously very angry. He originally thought it was just a small ant, and he wouldn't need to take action himself. As long as his junior Blood Blade took action, he could perfectly complete the assassination mission, and then the two of them could leisurely leave the capital. He had already greeted the local powers of the capital, the Royal Family and the Old Monarch's Temple, so there shouldn't be any twists and turns in this matter.

He didn't expect that something that looked foolproof would still have a big flaw. He had just led the Qingling Old Daoist away from the Marquis's residence when he suddenly heard a loud noise and realized something was wrong. Now that he rushed over, everything was indeed too late.

Although Blood Blade was just a junior, he was, after all, a legendary ninth-level cultivator. How could Wang Sheng, a mere fourth-level or at most fifth-level junior, kill Blood Blade?

It looked like he used fire, but how could Blood Blade be so foolish as to stand there and let him burn? With Blood Blade's cultivation, he shouldn't have any injuries even if he walked through the flames! Could it be that he was doused in oil?

But that still wasn't right. Even if he was doused in oil, Blood Blade could use his cultivation to keep the oil an inch away from his body. As long as he could move slightly, he could leave the fire.

Could it be that his movement ability was restricted? But there were no fluctuations of any formations here. If it was a formation stone, would Blood Blade give Wang Sheng enough time to activate the formation stone?

The World Honored One was completely puzzled here, unable to imagine the battle between Wang Sheng and Blood Blade. It was clearly an overwhelming strength, so how did it turn into this result?

Qingling Daoist and Steward Zhou were even more curious to death, but they were also equally confused. Especially Qingling Daoist, he had been teaching Wang Sheng how to identify medicinal herbs in the training room almost every day during this period, but how did it become like this?

The strength of the legendary realm was enough to destroy the training room, there was no doubt about that, but what was going on with the pungent smell of gunpowder all over the ground? Also, there was an indescribable smell of roasted meat on the scene, which, combined with Blood Blade's charred corpse, made people feel very uncomfortable in their stomachs.

"Good, the younger generation is to be feared!" The World Honored One looked at Wang Sheng's face several times, as if to firmly remember Wang Sheng's face. Then, he looked at Qingling Daoist and Steward Zhou again, and then looked at a certain corner in another direction. He took a few steps forward and walked to Blood Blade's corpse.

A piece of animal skin appeared out of thin air and was placed on the ground by the World Honored One. Then, he carefully moved Blood Blade's corpse onto the animal skin, trying to maintain the integrity of the corpse. After wrapping it in the animal skin, he put it into his storage ring.

"Since I've already taken action once, Marquis, you can stay in the capital for as long as you want. Divine Might Prison will no longer take action against you." The World Honored One left these words, then left the Marquis's residence quickly with an unkind expression.

Watching the World Honored One walk away, Wang Sheng first bowed and thanked Qingling Daoist: "Thank you, Daoist!"

Turning around, he cupped his hands and bowed to Steward Zhou: "Thank you, Steward Zhou!"

Finally, Wang Sheng cupped his hands and bowed to the corner that the World Honored One had glanced at: "Thank you, Chief Manager Li!"

After that, Qingling Daoist and Steward Zhou watched Chief Manager Li, who had a look of discomfort on his face, turn out from that corner.

Logically speaking, with Chief Manager Li's cultivation, Wang Sheng shouldn't have been able to discover him. Even with the World Honored One's hint, he shouldn't have known who was there, but Wang Sheng knew, and he accurately said Chief Manager Li's name, making Chief Manager Li so depressed that he didn't know what to say.

Faced with the combined attack of three experts, and Wang Sheng, who had killed Blood Blade and whose depth was unknown, even if he had entered the legendary realm decades ago, the World Honored One had to be wary and retreat.

As for the World Honored One's last sentence that Divine Might Prison would no longer take action against Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng only believed the first half, that he should still be safe in the capital. As for the second half, whoever believes a killer organization's words that they won't take action against you is a fool.

Steward Zhou, Chief Manager Li, and Qingling Daoist all gathered on the ruins of the training room that had turned into a charred black mess, all wanting to see what had caused it to become like this. They wanted to ask Wang Sheng, but Wang Sheng definitely wouldn't say, so they wouldn't be so tactless as to ask.

The newest novels are at [six][nine][shu][ba][.][com]!

"How could this be?" Just as the three were pondering, they suddenly heard Mei'er's voice. After Mei'er soberly realized what had happened, she hurried over, only to see this ruin.

The training room was definitely in ruins, not to mention the training room, even the adjacent courtyard suffered. The courtyard wall near the training room had completely collapsed, and half of the house in the next courtyard had collapsed. And this place was more than a hundred meters away from the training room.

With such a big commotion, the Imperial Guards of the capital also quickly gathered. Although Chief Manager Li came forward and withdrew the army, the news still spread.

Chang Sheng Marquis's residence was attacked by experts, causing the training room and dozens of feet around it to be completely destroyed. Because Wang Sheng did not show up at the time, no one outside saw Wang Sheng's figure, so many people thought that Chang Sheng Marquis Wang Sheng was definitely in dire straits. Even if he didn't die, he would at least be seriously injured and unable to recover.

The people in the capital were talking about it, all curious about what the huge sound and commotion at the time was all about, and various guesses were made. This explosion also became gossip for the people of the capital to talk about after dinner.

Just when the various rumors had not yet subsided, Qian Shengyuan's first store was finally about to open.
