Dragon's Origin

Chapter 795: Sniping Trap (Part 1)

Lying in ambush on a hilltop, Wang Sheng watched the activity below through his scope.

Below the hill was a detached residence of the Dai family, with a very beautiful environment. It was situated near mountains and rivers, and the spiritual energy was very abundant, making it most suitable for people with injuries to recuperate.

Wang Sheng had followed a team of Dai family messengers to this place. There were no unusual circumstances at the Dai family's royal palace, and even the head of the family and the Great Elder rarely appeared, obviously not present.

At this time, if the head of the family and the Great Elder were not in the capital's royal palace, where else could they be? Apart from diligently serving the injured Old Ancestor, there was no other possibility.

If the head of the family and the Great Elder were not in the capital, the affairs of the Dai Kingdom would not stop, so there would always be some matters waiting for those important figures to decide. Important matters must be sent by messenger birds, so relatively unimportant matters or matters that need to be reported in person for discussion and resolution must have someone meet with the head of the family and the Great Elder.

The team that Wang Sheng was following was obviously responsible for sending these messages. It would take ordinary people two days to travel from the capital, but these messengers could arrive in half a day with fast horses. Wang Sheng easily followed behind them, and quietly learned their destination.

The detached residence below the hill was heavily guarded. When Wang Sheng saw that posture, he knew that he had definitely found some important figures. However, Wang Sheng did not act rashly, but patiently observed on the nearby mountain.

There were Dai family experts patrolling within dozens of miles around, but it was simply a fool's dream for the patrolling experts to discover Wang Sheng, a legendary master, and still a trump card sniper. They didn't even find any traces of Wang Sheng passing by, because Wang Sheng had always been moving along the traces they had left behind. Who would have thought that the patrol traces left by their own people would be suspicious?

As for Wang Sheng's aura, even Lingxu Old Daoist could not detect it face to face when Wang Sheng used the golden patterns, let alone ordinary experts.

Heavy guard was a good thing. Wang Sheng carefully observed for most of the day and discovered a target worth attacking in the detached residence, the newly appointed Great Elder of the Dai family.

Since the Great Elder was here, it was highly likely that the new head of the family, Dai Xiao, was also here. Then, it was even more likely that the injured Old Ancestor was here.

Wang Sheng did not detect the aura of any extremely powerful experts probing, indicating that the Old Ancestor was not casually exercising his skills, and his injuries should have had a great impact.

Before coming to the Dai Kingdom, Wang Sheng had also made a trip to the Song Kingdom. The news was not good. It was said that Song Yan had already been suppressed by the Song family's Old Ancestor, and the person in charge of the Song Kingdom now was the original nominal Duke of Song, Song Yan's father, Song Hongde.

After learning this news, Wang Sheng realized that Song Yan could no longer hold on. For the sake of the Song Kingdom, Song Hongde could definitely do something like sending Song Yan to Dai Xiao. Therefore, some things could not be delayed any longer, even if Wang Sheng was exposed for it.

Wang Sheng didn't see the figure of the Dai family's Old Ancestor all day long. It wasn't until the lights were lit in the evening that Wang Sheng saw a possible shadow of an expert.

That expert might have come out to get some air because it was hot in the house at night, and was walking slowly in the yard.

It was obvious that the expert was injured, his vital energy was insufficient, and he often coughed. More importantly, Wang Sheng saw Dai Xiao's figure among the people who came out with him.

Dai Xiao, who should have been the head of the Dai family, was like a filial son and grandson in front of that expert, serving him diligently.

Wang Sheng was very cautious. Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng still did not act immediately, but continued to observe, carefully observing that expert.

The other party's cultivation must have been affected. At least from Wang Sheng's distant perspective, that expert definitely did not look like a thirteenth-level master. His aura was far worse than that of the Deep Sea Mad Shark, at most he was at the Epic realm, and there might still be deviations. Of course, Wang Sheng couldn't judge so carefully and clearly from a distance, it could only be a rough estimate.

However, this was in line with the information Wang Sheng had. The Dai family's Old Ancestor had been injured in a confrontation with Lingxu Old Daoist, which had affected his cultivation, so he was recuperating in this detached residence of the Dai family. The head of the Dai family, Dai Xiao, and the Great Elder were here to serve him personally. Everything seemed normal.

Suddenly, that expert seemed to realize something and suddenly turned his head towards Wang Sheng, staring in this direction. There was no aura leakage, but Wang Sheng's long-term remote monitoring still made the other party aware of something wrong.

At this point, Wang Sheng could completely confirm that this injured expert was the injured Old Ancestor of the Dai family. Being able to detect Wang Sheng's peeping from ten miles away was in line with his performance as a thirteenth-level master.

When Wang Sheng was observing at night, he had already taken out the heavy sniper crossbow and loaded the tooth arrow. At this moment, the other party turned to face Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng decisively pulled the trigger of the heavy sniper crossbow.

The heavy arrow, with a muzzle velocity of Mach nine, shot out instantly and flew towards that expert in more than a second.

The other party did not realize the killing intent at first. It was only after the tooth arrow had been flying in the air for more than a second that he realized something was wrong. When he wanted to dodge, it was already too late. The tooth arrow only left him with a reaction time of a few hundredths of a second. By the time he wanted to do something, it was already too late.

At this moment, Wang Sheng had offset the powerful recoil and was observing the situation there through the scope. However, the observed situation made Wang Sheng's expression change drastically.

The target expert wanted to avoid this fatal arrow, but no matter how agile he was, he could not avoid being hit by the tooth arrow. Wang Sheng was aiming at the chest, not the head, he was not that fast.

However, before the tooth arrow exploded, a swift and unparalleled figure suddenly pounced out from the room where that expert had come out from. Ignoring the guy struggling under the tooth arrow, he shot towards Wang Sheng like an arrow from a string.

Looking at this expert's movements, leaping and falling, decisive and unusual, the aura he was exuding at this moment was even more powerful than that of Lingxu Old Daoist. This was a true expert, this was the true Old Ancestor of the Dai family.

Not good, I've been tricked! Wang Sheng instantly understood that the guy who had just come out pretending was clearly bait. What injury affecting his cultivation was completely a setup. However, the Dai family actually used a legendary expert as bait to lure Wang Sheng out, they had indeed made a big investment.

Boom, the tooth arrow finally exploded, and the entire courtyard was shrouded in a rain of blood and fragments. The true expert had already determined Wang Sheng's position and was pouncing towards Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng wasn't flustered. The two sides were ten miles apart, and no matter how fast the other party was, it would take time. Wang Sheng decisively put down the heavy sniper crossbow and began to laboriously string the bow and load the tooth arrow.

Thirty seconds later, Wang Sheng raised the heavy sniper crossbow again and pulled the trigger towards the figure who was already within three miles.
