Dragon's Origin

Chapter 596: An Unthinkable Assassination (Part 1)

Having determined the direction, Wang Sheng used the Six-Word Mantra to notify Big Snow to ascend. After flying to about 30,000 meters, Wang Sheng reconfirmed the direction and distance, making final preparations on Big Snow's back.

"Do you believe that I can fly too?" Wang Sheng communicated with Big Snow through the Six-Word Mantra.

"Don't believe it?" Wang Sheng said, as if talking to himself, "Then I'll show you how I fly."

After saying this, Wang Sheng shouted "Woo-hoo" at Big Snow and jumped directly from its back. Big Snow also cried out, diving down after Wang Sheng's body.

In the air, Wang Sheng kept his body straight, his arms and legs not opening, head down, feet up, falling madly.

Wang Sheng and Old Dao didn't know how many times they had jumped from a 30,000-meter altitude, breaking the sound barrier every time. With Wang Sheng's current cultivation, he could resist the cold and lack of oxygen at this altitude even without any protection. The sonic boom when breaking the sound barrier was simply a massage for Wang Sheng.

Falling rapidly to a height of about 10,000 meters, the air became much denser, and Wang Sheng's speed decreased. At this time, it was a free fall, and because of the wind resistance, Wang Sheng's falling speed was even a bit faster than Big Snow's. Big Snow had to flap its wings a few more times to catch up with Wang Sheng.

It wasn't until he passed through the clouds that Wang Sheng stretched out his body. Opening his arms and spreading his legs, the speed of his descent suddenly decreased sharply. In just over ten seconds, he was gliding smoothly.

Wang Sheng was wearing a "wingsuit," commonly known as a "flying squirrel suit," made from the skin of an eighth-realm demon beast.

Wingsuit flying is an extreme sport on Earth that is far more dangerous than skydiving and paragliding. Under normal conditions, it only has a glide ratio of 2.5 to 1, and a speed of over 130 kilometers per hour, rushing from the air to the ground, making it only a game for a few extreme enthusiasts to challenge themselves!

And Wang Sheng now had a speed far exceeding 130 kilometers per hour. According to Wang Sheng's estimation, it was at least 400 kilometers per hour, already exceeding the speed of sound. And when he didn't decelerate just now, the speed was even faster, probably at least 800 kilometers per hour.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng's wingsuit was made of the skin of an eighth-realm demon beast, which was extremely strong and could withstand the deceleration force at this speed.

Wang Sheng wore goggles, his vision adjusted to the strongest, his eyes fixed on Ningyue City, thousands of meters ahead. He adjusted his direction all the way, getting lower and lower, but his speed remained above 400 kilometers per hour.

This speed still exceeded the speed of sound, and even Big Snow couldn't keep up. However, after Wang Sheng descended below the clouds, Big Snow stopped descending and continued to fly forward above the clouds.

Zhu Xingsheng was offering sacrifices to the heavens, but apart from those experts responsible for guarding, all the other barbarians were kneeling on the ground, unable to see the situation in the sky.

There were no lack of patrolling flying demon beasts and experts around, but their attention was focused on the ground, guarding against enemies attacking from the ground. They never expected anyone from the sky.

In the whole world, besides the Shanyue Kingdom having flying demon beasts, there were also a few small vassal states with three flying mounts. With their national strength, they didn't dare to easily provoke the Shanyue Kingdom. So, there was no threat in the air at all.

It was in this mentality of the people of the Shanyue Kingdom that Wang Sheng was rapidly approaching the sacrificial altar from the air. And the wingsuit was also specially designed by Wang Sheng, with a light blue color on the bottom. Looking up from below, it would easily blend in with the sky if one didn't pay attention, and it wouldn't be noticed at all.

As for the sound, Wang Sheng didn't have to worry about the enemy hearing the sound of his flight, because Wang Sheng was now flying faster than the speed of sound. Before the experts of the Shanyue Kingdom could hear the sound, Wang Sheng had already arrived.

Controlling the wingsuit, Wang Sheng easily adjusted his direction, his eyes fixed on the human figure that was as small as a grain of rice.

Zhu Xingsheng was still kneeling very respectfully, getting up, a series of movements that seemed very skilled, not knowing how many times he had done it. Seeing his pious attitude when he did it, it was estimated that he had done it so many times that he believed it himself.

A flying demon beast was right in the direction of Wang Sheng's flight, but the knight on it obviously didn't notice that there was someone flying diagonally above him. The three knights were still looking down, carefully examining the movements on the ground, and would send out a warning signal as soon as they found something wrong.

The beastmaster who was controlling the flying demon beast seemed to feel that something was wrong. One of the two legendary experts on the demon beast's back also seemed to sense a murderous intent. Could it be that there were assassins below? The two of them stretched their heads out, trying to see the movements on the ground clearly.

At this moment, a gust of strong wind swept over their heads. The two only felt a chill in their necks. Before they could react, their heads had already flown into the sky.

The remaining person hadn't realized what had happened, and was still trying to pay attention to the other direction. Suddenly, he found that his companion's body was leaning against him, and there was a bloody smell, and his body seemed to be sticky.

What's going on? Turning his head to look, his two companions had turned into two headless corpses. This scene made the only remaining patrol expert look like he had seen a ghost. In the air, there was nothing around, how did his two companions' heads disappear? It's simply unbelievable!

Fortunately, the expert was used to life and death. The death of his two companions surprised him, but it wasn't enough to make him afraid. Without thinking, the patrol expert immediately raised his hand and sent out a warning signal.

The warning signal used fireworks. From the time he reached out to take out the fireworks, pulled the rope to light them, the fireworks exploded in his hand and rushed into the sky, and then exploded in the air, it took at least seven or eight seconds. This didn't even include the few seconds he was surprised to find something wrong with his companion.

In fact, the range of this flying demon beast was only a dozen miles away from the sacrificial altar. The colorful light ignited by the fireworks was still relatively conspicuous. The people on the sacrificial altar didn't hear the sound of the fireworks exploding, but one or two of the guards responsible for guarding had already seen the light.

The guards reacted extremely quickly. After seeing the light, they immediately shouted a warning to Zhu Xingsheng on the sacrificial altar. Zhu Xingsheng was stunned for a second or two, looking in the direction of the fireworks, seeming a little surprised. But after all, he had been in a high position for a long time, and he felt that it was necessary to maintain a calm demeanor.

Very calmly, Zhu Xingsheng stood up and walked unhurriedly down the steps of the sacrificial altar, while not forgetting to order the kneeling people to stand up. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a look at the direction of the fireworks.

However, what puzzled Zhu Xingsheng was, what was that little black dot in his vision that seemed to be getting bigger and bigger?
