Dragon's Origin

Chapter 56: Unable to Withstand a Single Punch From Me

Wang Sheng was also listening, and when he heard that no one could make use of the Four-Phased Exquisite Seal Box, he almost laughed out loud.

Indeed, the craftsmanship of Exquisite Pavilion is perfect. The thieves in this world might not be powerful enough yet. Perhaps the most important reason is that they don't have the kind of sophisticated tools that Wang Sheng has.

Don't underestimate those four thin steel wires. This world simply doesn't have materials with that kind of flexibility and fineness.

To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. Without the right tools, how could they open it?

Because of the Shi family's bounty, many people became interested in the Exquisite Seal Box, and naturally, some who knew were eager to show off their knowledge to everyone.

Listening to others' chatter, Wang Sheng finally learned the origin of the box.

The master of Exquisite Pavilion once crafted a batch of metal boxes for the court to store official seals, and the Exquisite Seal Box got its name from this.

However, because of the security of the Exquisite Seal Box, many people who obtained it later no longer used it to store official seals, but instead put more precious things inside.

An Exquisite Seal Box with one lock is called a One-Phased Exquisite Seal Box, and one with four locks is called a Four-Phased Exquisite Seal Box. The more locks, the more intricate the mechanisms inside. The Four-Phased Exquisite Seal Box is almost the most advanced safe in this era. Even if the Exquisite Seal Box is stolen, the Shi family doesn't seem to worry about the contents being lost.

It is said that even the master who crafted the Exquisite Seal Box himself cannot open it without the key. Moreover, it contains extremely complex corrosive destruction devices. If one insists on opening the Exquisite Seal Box by any means other than the key, the corrosive liquid stored inside will directly corrode the contents.

With this kind of security guarantee, it's no wonder the Shi family only needs to recover the Exquisite Seal Box and doesn't worry about anyone being able to open it without the key.

Poor fellows! Wang Sheng shook his head in his heart. These people who haven't seen the world are truly pathetic, and the masters of Exquisite Pavilion are also truly pathetic. The great reputation for safety that they built up through generations of hard work might be ruined by Wang Sheng.

Of course, no one will know all this unless Wang Sheng says so.

After listening to everyone's descriptions, Wang Sheng broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the Exquisite Seal Box actually had a corrosive self-destruct design. He was truly ignorant and fearless to open it without regard for anything.

Fortunately, Wang Sheng's craftsmanship was not bad, and he didn't trigger the self-destruct switch. Otherwise, the animal skin scroll inside would have become a puddle of liquid.

Smiling and listening to everyone's chatter, the sky had already darkened. The Shi family had been busy for a day and a night and were now tired. The people on the street were gradually decreasing, and the surrounding shops were starting to close.

However, Wang Sheng's gaze sharpened. More than a dozen people walked over on the street, there were people on both sides, and there was also movement from the backyard. It could be said that all of Wang Sheng's escape routes were blocked.

The leader was Shi Lixing, who had previously caused trouble for Wang Sheng and been taught a lesson by him.

This time, the theft of the Four-Phased Exquisite Seal Box cleared Shi Lixing's suspicion. Those people wanted to create some chaos to make the Shi family confused, and then take the opportunity to steal the Four-Phased Exquisite Seal Box.

After the Shi family was busy searching for the Exquisite Seal Box, Shi Lixing remembered that he wanted to teach Wang Sheng a lesson. He had been overwhelmed before, but now that he had been cleared of suspicion, he naturally wanted to vent all his pent-up anger. Wang Sheng became the first person he wanted to teach a lesson.

However, for Wang Sheng, this lesson might be unforgettable, because after being taught a lesson, he would probably die, so naturally he would not forget it until he died.

The yuan soul had reached a bottleneck in absorbing spiritual energy. Although massage and swallowing spiritual energy could still be done, it didn't help much in improving the yuan soul. Wang Sheng had already planned to leave.

At this critical moment, it wasn't the time for Wang Sheng to leave. But now it seemed that Shi Lixing was holding on to a small matter and wouldn't let go, so he had no choice but to leave.

"You're dead!" Shi Lixing didn't hide his killing intent, and looked at Wang Sheng who was standing there as if at a loss. He said with a sneer, "How dare you not take me seriously, you're dead!"

"Recently, the people who died were all related to me. You have a grudge against me, so you are also the biggest suspect." Shi Lixing saw that Wang Sheng was standing straight as if he was completely stunned, and the pleasure in his heart finally dissipated. "Don't worry, I will put the title of suspect on you. After killing you, the family will naturally give me the reward I deserve."

"If you know what's good for you, kneel down and beg for mercy now, maybe I can let you go." Walking closer, Shi Lixing was not far from Wang Sheng, more than a zhang away. He suddenly wanted to see Wang Sheng begging for mercy, so Shi Lixing said these words in a very generous tone, completely forgetting that his first sentence was that you were dead.

Among the Shi family disciples who came with Shi Lixing, two were also in the Second Realm, blocking the back and the other side of the street respectively. Including Shi Lixing himself, there were three Second Realm experts. The others were First Realm followers, a total of more than a dozen, just to use Wang Sheng as a "model" today, and also to show their strength after clearing their suspicions.

Wang Sheng seemed to have been fooled. He really thought Shi Lixing would let him go, and slowly walked towards Shi Lixing, with a look of struggle on his face.

The other two Second Realm experts stopped and stood more than ten steps away with their arms folded, watching the show.

There was no one else on the street except them. The merchants had already closed their doors knowingly. Even if they wanted to watch, they could only peek through the cracks in the door, and no one dared to stand up and speak.

In fact, this was exactly what Shi Lixing wanted to achieve, to establish his authority and let people know that he, Shi Lixing, was still a rising star supported by the Shi family. Wang Sheng was his tool for establishing authority.

Wang Sheng hesitated and took a few steps forward, only about a meter away from Shi Lixing, when his slow movements suddenly became extremely fast.

Bang, Wang Sheng's fist hit Shi Lixing's throat, who was in high spirits. With calculation against carelessness, the huge force directly resulted in Shi Lixing's throat and neck making a creepy cracking sound.

Now, Wang Sheng's punch is several times stronger than Tyson's strongest punch on Earth. An accelerated straight punch has at least 4,000 pounds, which is about 1,800 kilograms of force. An unprepared ordinary person would die with one punch, and even a cultivator, without using spiritual energy to protect himself, would have his spine broken by this punch.

Not to mention that Wang Sheng's punch is not only physical strength, but also spiritual energy attack. Shi Lixing's unprepared throat is simply the best target for attack at this distance. Both Wang Sheng himself and the fighting consciousness chose the throat.

With a Jeet Kune Do-like inch force, Shi Lixing's cervical spine was directly shattered with one punch.

"You can't even withstand one punch from me, I really don't know where your pride comes from!" Wang Sheng's figure had quickly retreated, and everyone only heard Wang Sheng's sentence full of sarcasm.

Everything that had just happened was too fast, and the Shi family had the absolute advantage. No one expected that the cooked duck could still fly. From Wang Sheng's attack to his retreat, no one reacted. Everyone was waiting to see Wang Sheng being wantonly played with by Shi Lixing, but how did it become like this?

Wang Sheng's movements were too fast. Even Shi Lixing himself could only raise his hand to cover his throat, make two heh heh sounds in his throat, and then there was no other sound.

Those with poor eyesight only saw Shi Lixing suddenly cover his throat, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, then his body pounced forward and remained motionless. Those with good eyesight saw the punch, but it was too late to do anything.

The fastest to react were the two Second Realm Shi family experts. Almost at the same time as Wang Sheng's attack, they also started to attack, unable to help Shi Lixing, but still possibly catching Wang Sheng who was about to escape.

Unfortunately, Wang Sheng had lived here for two months, how could he not have made any arrangements? The retreat just now was not into the house, but a punch that broke a wooden stick as thick as an arm not far behind him.

The two Second Realm experts' figures had just rushed over when a look of fear suddenly appeared in their eyes. They abruptly changed direction in mid-air and controlled their bodies to deviate slightly.

Bang, one dodged quickly and brushed past the sharp wooden strip that flew up, while the other was not so lucky. He couldn't dodge and could only use spiritual energy to protect himself and take the hit.

Fortunately, it had already deviated a bit, and the spiritual energy helped block most of the force. The wooden strip that flew up did not cause much damage to him, only scratching a little skin. But the whip was firmly endured. He was in the air and was directly whipped to a halt by the wooden strip that flew up, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Boom, when everyone rushed up, something exploded violently in several directions around, and then the entire courtyard and most of the street were shrouded in white mist.

It was lime powder that Wang Sheng had prepared in advance. Wang Sheng could not possibly not prepare this kind of cheap, beautiful, and good thing for blinding people and hiding his whereabouts.

However, the first expert to dodge reacted extremely quickly. With a flick of his hand, a dart shot towards Wang Sheng's back. Wang Sheng felt something was wrong and hurriedly shrank his head, dodging the dart, but the cloth covering his head was taken away by the dart, revealing Wang Sheng's not very long hair.

While everyone was in a panic, Wang Sheng's figure had quietly disappeared. This was already at night, plus the lime mist. Although the people who came were all Shi family disciples, their familiarity with this place was not comparable to Wang Sheng, who had stayed here for two months.

When Wang Sheng's figure had silently sneaked into the river, a group of people were still squinting their eyes, guarding themselves, for fear that Wang Sheng would take the opportunity to attack.
