Dragon's Origin

Chapter 316: Escape (Part 1)

"If you manage to see your Pavilion Master alive, tell him that I will make him pay when we meet." Wang Sheng smiled and instructed the little shopkeeper Chen, but the meaning expressed in his words showed no joy or happiness at all: "Maybe I'll wring his head off."

Wang Sheng opened the exquisite seal box and went to the address written inside, only to be told that the Dai family wanted to deal with Wang Sheng and he couldn't leave the city?

What a joke! Since they knew someone was going to deal with Wang Sheng, why did they ask Wang Sheng to go outside the city? Wang Sheng would never believe that Linglong Pavilion didn't even have the ability to set up shop in Worry-Free City.

It would be too much of a coincidence to say it was a coincidence. If the Linglong Pavilion Master had been waiting here all along, that would have been fine, at least he would have been surrounded with Wang Sheng. But he just happened to leave half a day before Wang Sheng arrived, which made people suspect whether the Linglong Pavilion Master had colluded with those guys on purpose.

Little Shopkeeper Chen could only smile bitterly and had nothing else to say. He also knew that what he said would definitely make Wang Sheng misunderstand, but he couldn't explain it.

"If you don't want to die now, then get the hell out of here!" Wang Sheng scolded Little Shopkeeper Chen. He was just a mouthpiece and didn't know the specific details. Maybe he himself was an expendable pawn. Wang Sheng didn't bother to argue with a mouthpiece.

Looking at Wang Sheng's face, Little Shopkeeper Chen realized that Wang Sheng was serious, and he didn't dare to say anything else. He obediently rushed out of the shop and ran away frantically.

Wang Sheng had already felt that the closest expert was less than a dozen feet away from the shop, but Wang Sheng was not panicked.

With a flick of his hand, a smoke bomb appeared in his hand. He pulled the pin. When the white smoke from the smoke bomb began to emerge on his hand, Wang Sheng threw the smoke bomb out of the shop.

"Careful, it's poisonous!" An exclamation came from not far away, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps from around.

Wang Sheng calmly took out a square-shaped pig iron object from a storage ring on his body and placed it upright on the counter of the shop. With a wave of his hand, a fire starter appeared, and he lit a fuse on the square pig iron box. Then he took a deep breath and walked out of the shop.

Inside and outside the shop, everything was covered in white smoke, and you couldn't see people within five steps of your face. When Wang Sheng came out, his steps were extremely light, almost silent.

A group of Dai family experts who had been tracking Wang Sheng for a long time were reminded when they saw the white smoke that the smoke might be poisonous. The group hurriedly held their breath, fearing that they would be contaminated by the white poison.

At least three experts had firmly locked onto Wang Sheng's aura. No matter how Wang Sheng escaped, they could not get rid of their tracking at this distance. Even if their vision was blocked by the white smoke, they were confident that they could track Wang Sheng's whereabouts.

However, suddenly, Wang Sheng's aura disappeared from their perception. The three experts were shocked. What was going on?

In their nervousness, they even forgot to hold their breath. The three experts tensed up and immediately smelled the pungent odor of the smoke bomb.

Was normal mist so irritating? The answer was obvious. The three hurriedly held their breath again, swallowed a detoxification pill, and circulated their spiritual energy throughout their bodies, fearing that they would be taken advantage of by the poisonous smoke.

After circulating their spiritual energy several times, the three unanimously discovered that the smoke had no toxicity other than its pungent smell. At least the three had checked with their spiritual energy and found no abnormalities.

"The smoke is not poisonous, find him!" An expert hurriedly shouted.

At least seven or eight of the dozen or so experts accelerated and rushed into the shop. Even if Wang Sheng's aura disappeared, no one had sensed his whereabouts outside. The greatest possibility was that he was hiding somewhere in the shop and using array stones to shield his aura.

Although the shop was not big, it had inner and outer rooms, plus a storeroom. As soon as a few people rushed into the white smoke-filled shop, they were first on guard and looking for people everywhere. Only one or two noticed a strange smell of gunpowder in the shop.

Smoke bombs originally had a smell, and it was normal for the shop to be filled with smoke and have a smell. Even if someone noticed these smells, they didn't think it was a big deal until someone heard a faint hissing sound.

Where did the sound come from? The expert who noticed the hissing sound followed the sound, blew away the smoke, and then saw a square iron box on the counter. It seemed that the sound was coming from an edge of the box.

The box was not small, at least three feet long, one foot wide, and one foot high. The box was also very strange. You could tell at a glance that it was made of pig iron, and it was covered with some strange lines, grooves and gullies, which looked irregular and ugly. Those lines divided the box into countless small irregular shapes.

More than ten people had entered. No one found Wang Sheng leaving the shop, only the shopkeeper left. Who would care about a shopkeeper? What everyone wanted was Wang Sheng.

"Where is he?" The leading expert had reached the door and asked the experts inside.

Before the people inside could answer, boom, a loud noise came from inside the shop.

The square iron box exploded entirely. The box cracked along the lines and grooves, becoming countless small fragments, mixed with some sharp metal pieces the size of a little finger, and splashed violently around.

The shop turned into fragments in an instant. The experts inside had nowhere to hide and had to brace themselves and use their spiritual energy to resist the terrifying explosion. The huge wave of air directly overturned the leading expert at the door. While still in the air, he felt pain in his arms and shoulders, as if he had been hit by some hidden weapon.

The ground around shook for a while, as if a small earthquake had occurred. Several people in the surrounding shops and streets who did not have time to prepare were directly knocked to the ground.

The loud noise made the people who had not entered and the surrounding crowd covering their ears. After a while, everyone's ears were still buzzing, and it took a long time to recover.

It took a while for the leading expert to endure the severe pain in his ears and get up. What he saw was an empty ruin. The original shop had been directly turned into flat ground. The people who rushed in could still be seen lying on the ground in the distance, like broken sacks, motionless, and looking like they were not alive.

Before he could understand what had happened, the leading expert suddenly realized that his arms and shoulders were completely numb and had no feeling.
