Dragon's Origin

#37 - One-on-five

When Wang Sheng was in the army, he understood a principle: many techniques, even if practiced until perfectly memorized in the military camp, might not be usable on the battlefield. Many people could score ten rings every time during target practice, but couldn't pull the trigger when facing a real enemy.

The only way to truly master techniques to the point of instinctive use is through practical application. Wang Sheng had been practicing comfortably and enthusiastically for the past few days when suddenly a few hot-headed youths jumped out wanting to kill him. When else would he test his moves if not now?

The moment Song Xiu's finger extended, Wang Sheng grabbed it and twisted it forcefully. This finger-twisting technique, even without using spiritual energy, was more than Song Xiu could handle with Wang Sheng's strength.

With a painful cry, Song Xiu involuntarily lowered his body following Wang Sheng's movement. Wang Sheng twisted quickly and with great force, so Song Xiu squatted down quickly as well.

However, this caused immense pressure on his left knee. His knee, which had barely recovered, ached again. If not for the splint, this might have injured his knee even more.

But Wang Sheng's methods didn't stop there. As Song Xiu squatted, Wang Sheng's knee came up, hitting Song Xiu's face squarely.

Bang, Song Xiu's face bloomed. Wang Sheng's forceful knee lift, combined with Song Xiu's rapid squat, especially with Wang Sheng naturally adding a bit of his newly learned spiritual energy exertion, caused Song Xiu to bleed from his nose and mouth and tear up, even though he had used spiritual energy to protect himself while squatting.

This was enough to knock Song Xiu out. It wasn't until Song Xiu fell that the surrounding four people reacted, yelling in anger and rushing towards Wang Sheng in the middle.

Wang Sheng released his grip, and Song Xiu collapsed to the ground. Wang Sheng didn't even look at him, his figure rushing straight towards the guy on his left who didn't have a weapon. At the same time, he kicked Song Xiu up, sending him flying towards another enemy.

The guy on the left was rushing too fast. Both Wang Sheng's own combat experience and the combat consciousness figure in the Yuan Soul space chose him as the first target to deal with. Because not only was he rushing too fast, but he also seemed to be the least experienced and most naive, making him the easiest to handle.

Because he rushed too fast, his body was somewhat out of control. When Wang Sheng's left hand blocked his punch from afar, his tragedy was already sealed.

Wang Sheng twisted his body slightly, dodging his forward rush, and then, using the force of his left hand pushing away his arm, spun rapidly, his right elbow slamming fiercely into the back of his neck.

This time, Wang Sheng used his full strength. With four experts attacking simultaneously, he couldn't afford to hold back. As the elbow struck, a faint cracking sound was heard. The opponent instantly lost all ability to act. His body, propelled forward by inertia and Wang Sheng's strike, fell to the ground and didn't move again.

The guy on the right was the young man who controlled rats. He had just supported Song Xiu's body and was about to check on Song Xiu's condition when Wang Sheng had already swiftly taken down one enemy and was rushing towards him.

Song Xiu's body blocked the rat-controlling young man's view and also blocked his angle of attack. He didn't see Wang Sheng's movements. The other two saw it clearly and shouted almost simultaneously, "Careful!"

The rat-controlling young man was stunned. This hesitation cost him his life. In a battle between experts, victory or defeat is only a moment away, how could he afford to be distracted?

Wang Sheng kicked out from behind Song Xiu, directly hitting the rat-controlling young man's lower left rib. A sharp pain came, and the young man involuntarily bent over. Wang Sheng's iron elbow swept across, accurately hitting his left temple.

Boundless darkness descended. The rat-controlling young man's mind still had many questions. Wasn't Wang Sheng supposed to be an ordinary person with a mediocre Yuan Soul? How could his attack carry spiritual energy? Otherwise, how could it hurt him?

Unfortunately, these questions could only be answered in another world. Wang Sheng's elbow not only shattered his skull but also collapsed half of his brain. Even if Hua Tuo were reborn, he couldn't save the rat-controlling young man's life.

The remaining two were experts, one at the peak of the first level and the other at the early stage of the second level. At least according to the Third Elder's arrangement, either of them could handle Wang Sheng, let alone five of them?

But now, three out of the five had already fallen, leaving only the two of them. Especially since the three fell right before their eyes, and they could only watch helplessly.

They were all playmates who had grown up together, especially since they were from the same clan. Seeing their companions fall under Wang Sheng's brutal attacks would ignite ferocity in anyone.

The two of them were farther away before, so they were slower to rush over, but they both took out their weapons. One had a knife, and the other had a long staff. The one with the long staff was the second-level expert, and he started to sweep the staff horizontally from a few steps away, wishing he could kill Wang Sheng with one blow.

Wang Sheng ignored him, directly pushing Song Xiu and the rat-controlling young man's bodies to meet the staff, while he rushed towards the burly man with the knife.

Clang, the burly man's eyes were red, and his overhead chop was blocked by Wang Sheng's small dagger. However, although he couldn't cut Wang Sheng in half with one blow, the force of the blow was considerable, causing Wang Sheng to crouch down.

The burly man at the peak of the first level was indeed much stronger than Wang Sheng in using spiritual energy. If Wang Sheng hadn't been prepared and used his military knife flat against his arm to block, the force of this blow would have been enough to knock Wang Sheng's arm away and hit his body.

As Wang Sheng's body lowered, he exerted force with his feet, taking advantage of the momentum to lunge forward, as if he couldn't withstand the burly man's strength and was knocked to the ground.

The burly man was overjoyed at the sight and kicked out, intending to kick Wang Sheng into the air. But just as his foot was raised, Wang Sheng's hand seemed to accurately press on a point just above his knee, abruptly interrupting his powerful kick.

In a flash, before the burly man could swing his knife back, Wang Sheng's military knife had already swept across the burly man's thigh root, leaving a thin wound. At the same time, the military knife was inserted backhand into the burly man's right rib, all the way to the hilt.

The burly man cried out in pain, retracting his right hand and covering his wound, also grabbing the hilt of Wang Sheng's military knife.

Unexpectedly, Wang Sheng had already abandoned the military knife, rolling away from his attack range, but leaving the burly man between him and the second-level staff expert.

The second-level expert was indeed an expert. He had originally planned to strike Wang Sheng from behind, but Wang Sheng's move of releasing the military knife and rolling away ruined his hopes and forced him to retract his force to avoid hitting his companion.

Just by swaying a bit, the second-level expert tapped the ground with his toes, his figure rushing towards Wang Sheng again. However, this short time difference was enough for him to lose his life.

When Wang Sheng released the military knife and rolled away, the Glock 17 had already reappeared in his hand. As the second-level expert tapped his toes and rushed towards Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng's hand had already pulled the trigger.

The distance between the two was only three meters. The head of the expert's long staff was less than fifty centimeters away from Wang Sheng, but these fifty centimeters became an insurmountable gap that the expert could no longer cross.

Bang, a nine-millimeter pistol bullet accurately hit the expert's eye socket, shattering the fragile eyeball and directly penetrating into his brain.

This was a lesson Wang Sheng had learned after fighting the Thousand Illusions Poisonous Serpent. The first shot from the sniper rifle hadn't penetrated the Thousand Illusions Poisonous Serpent's skull, it was the second bullet that pierced its head. When protected by spiritual energy, the penetrating power of bullets is greatly reduced.

For safety, Wang Sheng still chose to attack the most vulnerable part of the head, the eye. He didn't dare to attack between the eyebrows, in case the opponent's spiritual energy defense was amazing and the bullet couldn't penetrate, that would be troublesome.

After the shot rang out, the second-level expert's entire body's strength instantly disappeared. Even though the head of the long staff still poked Wang Sheng's body due to inertia, it no longer had any strength. It just bumped Wang Sheng, and Wang Sheng took the opportunity to take a step back, dissipating all the force.

This expert was strong, Wang Sheng was very aware, and he was definitely not his opponent. So facing this kind of strong enemy, Wang Sheng certainly didn't hesitate to use firearms.

Adding up the time before and after, it was only a few seconds. Five Song family disciples, four of whom were at least at the mid-stage of the first level, the highest at the peak of the first level, plus a second-level early stage expert, died tragically at Wang Sheng's hands. The only one who retained consciousness was Song Xiu, the leader who was subdued and knocked unconscious at the beginning.

And at this moment, blood was still flowing from the burly man's ribs. However, he had already covered the wound with his hand. As long as he didn't suddenly pull out the military knife, there wouldn't be any major trouble.

"Do you think you've won?" The burly man held his long knife in his other hand, looking at Wang Sheng with vigilance. At this moment, Wang Sheng had already put the pistol back into his storage ring. The overall situation was set, and there was no need to waste bullets. The burly man thought that Wang Sheng had exhausted all his means, supporting his body and gritting his teeth at Wang Sheng angrily.

"Sigh!" Wang Sheng shook his head, looking at the burly man who still wanted to fight him in this state and sighed, "Lack of education is truly terrifying!"

When inserting the military knife into the burly man's ribs, the military knife had already swept across the burly man's right thigh root. That area is where the femoral artery is located. Wang Sheng's Tiger Tooth military knife was very sharp, and that sweep had already cut the femoral artery. It was just because it was too sharp that all of the burly man's attention was drawn to the wound in his ribs, and he ignored the thin small groove on his leg.

However, that was the truly fatal injury. If the burly man were to look down at this moment, he would definitely find that his trouser leg had been stained red with blood.

Of the five people from the Song family, at this moment, the only one who could truly be considered alive was Song Xiu, the leader who was subdued and knocked unconscious at the beginning.
