Dragon's Origin

Chapter 496: The Hidden Strength of Baoqing Yutang Continued (10)

The Qiu family's intentions were obvious not only to Wang Sheng, but also to Mei'er, Rose, and even A'Qi. It was nothing more than forming an alliance, what else could it be?

Wang Sheng thought so too, so he was very relaxed. With the help of the three women, he put on the formal Duke's attire before heading to the guest hall. This was a meeting with an important minister of the Qiu Kingdom. As the host, he couldn't be too casual.

The other party had sent in a greeting card at the door, which was reported to Wang Sheng by Steward Wang. They had already been invited to wait in the guest hall. As the Ever Victorious Duke, Wang Sheng couldn't possibly sit in the guest hall waiting for the other party. An elder of the Qiu Kingdom wasn't important enough for that.

When he stepped into the guest hall, Wang Sheng slowed down. He sniffed the air and looked again at the Qiu family elder sitting not far away, waiting for Wang Sheng to come out, a mysterious smile on his face.

The other party's appearance was indeed that of the Qiu family elder that Wang Sheng had seen in the Royal Grand Theater that day. The face was right, the figure was right, and the cultivation was right. The problem was, the scent was wrong.

Who was Wang Sheng? The top sniper on Earth, a super ace who could accurately find a target from a crowd of thousands in five seconds based on a year-old photo. As a sniper, identifying targets was the most basic skill.

Before, when he was a sniper, Wang Sheng could only rely on his eyesight to judge the target. Now that he had the enhancement of all his senses, did he have to abandon his professional skills?

Moreover, coming to this world from Earth brought Wang Sheng an almost heaven-defying skill, which was photographic memory. He could remember almost everything he had seen on Earth, and even things he saw in this world, as long as Wang Sheng was willing to remember them, he could have a clear impression.

Wang Sheng wouldn't say that he could remember everyone he had ever met, but he would carefully remember every master above the eighth realm. Because every master from another family could be Wang Sheng's enemy in the future.

The Qiu family elder was still at the late stage of the eighth realm before the concert, but after the concert, he had become a legendary master.

The Qiu family elder in front of him was also a master of the legendary realm, but it was obvious that he wasn't the one Wang Sheng had met. No one knew that Wang Sheng now recognized and remembered a person not only by looking at their face, figure, and cultivation, but also by their personal scent.

Hearing the sound of footsteps and seeing Wang Sheng walking over in his Duke's attire, the 'Qiu family elder' had a smile on his face and stood up, seemingly about to greet Wang Sheng.

"Are you from Worry-Free City? Or Divine Might Prison?" Wang Sheng, who was walking over, suddenly stopped and stood next to the large pillar in the guest hall, as thick as a hug, and asked the Qiu family elder with a smile, "Or, are you from Baoqing Yutang?"

The other party was shocked. He never dreamed that his seemingly seamless disguise would go wrong. How was that possible? But no matter how unbelievable it was, it had already happened. Wang Sheng had not only exposed his false identity in one go, but also recognized him as an assassin.

This was a conspiracy that was hard to guard against. The assassin visited openly, so Wang Sheng would certainly not be on guard, and even the defensive forces around the guest hall would not be too many, otherwise it would give people a feeling of being rude.

Originally, in this situation, Wang Sheng would have a sudden meeting with the Qiu family elder, and the experienced assassin could always find an opportunity to suddenly assassinate Wang Sheng and then leave calmly. As for the murderer, wouldn't it be the Qiu family elder staying in the capital? The ready-made scapegoat could be directly thrown on the Qiu family, which was simply wonderful.

Who would have thought that such a plan would be seen through at a glance? No wonder everyone said Wang Sheng was vigilant, as expected.

In an instant, the Qiu family elder, who had seemed to be in a high position and acting officially, suddenly changed his aura, becoming full of killing intent.

"That's right!" Wang Sheng smiled. This was more in line with the identity of an assassin. Although the real Qiu family elder had also reached the legendary realm, the legendary masters who had been in high positions and lived in comfort were completely different from the legendary masters who had been killed in various battlefields, even if they were both in the legendary realm.

Whoosh, the assassin's figure turned into a dark light, rushing straight towards Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng just tilted slightly to the side, and his body was completely hidden behind the large pillar as thick as a hug. He had already chosen his barrier when he chose to stop here just now.

The assassin was not moved at all, and his figure did not change direction at all, still maintaining the original direction. A mere wooden pillar as thick as a hug was no different from a layer of window paper to an experienced legendary assassin. At most, it could only delay the assassin's attack for a moment, and that was all.

However, for Wang Sheng, this moment of delay was enough. He was not naive enough to think that he could block the attack of a legendary assassin with a wooden pillar.

The movement here had already aroused the vigilance of the guards in the Duke's mansion, and dozens of people nearby had rushed towards this side frantically. For the assassin, he only had one chance to strike. Once he failed to strike, even if he was a dead soldier and willing to exchange his life for Wang Sheng's, it would be impossible to do so in the situation where dozens of guards were rushing over.

This strike almost contained the assassin's entire cultivation, and the surging spiritual energy attacked Wang Sheng behind the pillar like a tide. The wooden pillar as thick as a hug began to break at the same time as the assassin's fist touched it. The huge broken end, carrying a powerful force, slammed into Wang Sheng behind it.

He was in the legendary realm, and Wang Sheng at most only had the cultivation of the seventh realm, a difference of two major realms. With this strike, the assassin had a 90% certainty of success. Even if Wang Sheng dodged, it would be useless, not to mention that Wang Sheng did not dodge.

While the pillar blocked the assassin's movements, Wang Sheng only did one thing, which was to adjust his posture, and then use the Guiyuan Hand technique to mobilize the spiritual energy of his whole body and blast a punch at the attacking assassin.

The other party only had one chance to strike, so why should Wang Sheng be afraid of the weakness after using the Guiyuan Hand?

Boom, the two people's fists collided with the wooden pillar in between. The wooden pillar in the middle instantly turned into the most fragile wood chips, and then the two fists intersected, and there was another loud bang.

A figure flew out.
