Chapter 2: Strange Abilities

What is going on? Wang Sheng considers himself an expert among experts in modern firearms, and a master in hand-to-hand combat and knife fighting, but he never thought he could have such insight in kendo as well. However, what was that fleeting thought just now?

If you had just killed the second person, and the first sword was slightly to the right, moving a bit slower, you could have killed him in one strike. Wang Sheng clapped his hands, stood up, and felt uncomfortable in his wet clothes. Standing up and looking at Song Yan, the first thing he said to her was to inform her of the inadequacy of the sword's momentum just now

Wang Sheng's current appearance, in the eyes of the Dai family and the Song family, indeed resembles that of a wild savage. He is clad from head to toe in a set of jungle camouflage, adorned with a riot of colors that no one but those savages would appreciate, let alone wear. He wears a helmet on his head, protective goggles on his face, and a large hard mask with gas mask functionality, while the jungle face paint smeared across his face gives the impression of tattoos at first glance. This incongruous decoration and attire, along with the extensive facial paint that resembles tattoos, leaves little room for interpretation—could there be any other possibility besides that of a savage?

Just now, Song Yan, who had just killed three of Dai's guards without changing her expression, suddenly heard this title, and her snow-white face instantly turned a shade of crimson. Could Uncle Yu really not discern that she and Dai Huan were merely engaging in pretense, speaking nothing but lies? What kind of nonsense was it to inexplicably associate herself with a barbarian? Was it really that difficult for her to find a husband?

With a quick glance, Wang Sheng noticed the movements of the woman not far away. This time it was even more apparent; in an instant, Wang Sheng almost determined the direction and force of the woman's sword strike, as well as the outcome of her attack. Moreover, he could clearly and distinctly assess the condition of the muscles in various parts of her body as she exerted herself. As for improvements, they had already flashed through his mind the moment he saw her draw her sword.

In the midst of Wang Sheng's confusion, Song Yan anxiously shouted at the old man, "Uncle Fish, they have taken away the Yuan Soul!"

Song Yan was immediately lost in thought, as her heart was once again stirred by a great upheaval. The sword technique she had just used was a secret transmission of the Song family, and she had not executed it perfectly due to her haste. However, Wang Sheng had pointed out her shortcomings with pinpoint accuracy. Could it be that Wang Sheng was already familiar with the Song family's sword techniques?

Not only did Wang Sheng observe the attacking movements of the female competitor, but he also scrutinized the actions of her opponent with keen insight, analyzing everything from intent to outcome with remarkable clarity. In the next moment, Wang Sheng saw the result, which was exactly as he had anticipated, with not a single difference.

Is this the gift you have given me? Wang Sheng thought of the owner of those beautiful eyes, pondering to himself: I have come to your world, but where are you? Why did you make me kill you?

Descending from the heavens, a mysterious hidden weapon, an eye that can see through the flaws of techniques, and an eccentric attire—all of this enveloped Wang Sheng in a layer of mystery

However, when the gunshot rang out, everyone, including Song Yan, stared at the blood hole on Dai Huan's forehead, watching him fall down, all of them stunned. Everyone had an expression of disbelief as they looked at the already deceased Dai Huan, then at Wang Sheng, who spat disdainfully and remained utterly calm, feeling that the scene before them was incredibly unreal, how could this be possible

Wang Sheng has already poured the water out of his military boots, put them back on, and tied the laces. Throughout this process, there was no change in his expression, his movements were steady, and his breathing was calm, as if the few people he had just killed were not his doing at all

Miss Song glanced at Uncle Lao Yu, who had just spoken. A glimmer of understanding flashed in the old man's eyes as he nodded heavily at Song Yan. Without further hesitation, Song Yan walked over to Wang Sheng and said decisively: "We are leaving"

The guards, having regained their senses, wasted no time, dropped the chaotic items in their hands, and charged towards Wang Sheng with their weapons drawn. Not only was Wang Sheng a target, but everyone present was included, even Miss Song and the old man who was still alive. Since Young Master Huan was dead, how could Miss Song, the woman chosen by Young Master Huan, still be alive

This is certainly not his original ability, Wang Sheng has now confirmed. It is a completely new ability that he acquired only after arriving in this unfamiliar world, and he does not know how it came to be.

Wang Sheng is not a bloodthirsty person. In fact, as a sniper, there are times when he needs to disguise himself to blend into the target crowd during missions, and he has occasionally endured minor grievances. However, this has only been limited to enduring minor grievances; he has never encountered a situation where the other party explicitly stated their intention to eliminate him while he still had to act submissively. Therefore, upon hearing Dai Huan's order to eliminate everyone, Wang Sheng immediately took action

Wang Sheng also realized that the world he had come to was indeed an extraordinary one. If a woman like Song Yan could be so formidable, one could only imagine how terrifying those masters were who had previously intimidated her into submission. As for that old man, it goes without saying; he considered it normal to behead Wang Sheng with a single sword strike, but have you ever witnessed the horrifying sight of someone directly tearing out half of a poor wretch's spine with a punch to the throat?

Unfortunately, the guards reacted quickly, but they were still not as fast as Wang Sheng. Since he had already taken action to kill Dai Huan, would Wang Sheng spare the lives of these guards? The Glock 17 in his hand demonstrated its formidable rate of fire and accuracy, with a series of loud bangs echoing. All the guards of the Dai family present, except for those surrounding the woman and the old man, were shot first without hesitation.

The old man originally had four opponents, but now only one and a half remain. Two have already met their demise, dead beyond any hope of revival. Of the remaining two, one has just had an arm severed right before Wang Sheng's eyes. The sword in the old man's hand is now pointed at the chest of the last one.

Uncle Lao Yu was just about to leave when he suddenly froze upon hearing Wang Sheng's words. Song Yan had grown up under his watch, and he had indeed noticed her just now, as Wang Sheng had said. However, how could the core sword techniques of the Song family's direct lineage be known to outsiders

The old man's movements were swift; in the blink of an eye, the shackles on his body were easily undone. When the captain of his guards thrust his sword towards his throat, his hand had already grasped the hilt of the opponent's sword, while his other hand delivered a punch that shattered the opponent's throat

Wang Sheng fired another shot, and the only one who did not die was also shot in the head, dead beyond recovery. Only then did Wang Sheng begin to observe the situation of the seven guards surrounding the old man and the woman, and upon seeing it, Wang Sheng was also greatly astonished

Only thirteen of the Dai family guards remained on the scene. Among the six who charged at Wang Sheng, five showed no reaction at all and were shot dead by him with a single bullet. What shocked Wang Sheng was that the remaining guard was truly formidable; at a critical moment, he managed to evade Wang Sheng's lethal shot. Even though he did not completely dodge the bullet, he avoided being hit in a vital area. Fortunately, Wang Sheng understood that this was no longer a surprise attack, so he aimed for the enemy's heart. Although he did not hit the heart, the bullet struck the guard's chest, resulting in serious injury.

The guards reacted swiftly; almost at the moment Wang Sheng fired, at least five swords had already slashed across the target's throat following Dai Huan's command. On Song Yan's side, apart from Song Yan herself, there was only one half-aged man who appeared to be in his fifties left.

Young Master Dai Huan was killed by a barbarian, and not only were Song Yan and that old man stunned, but the bodyguards of the Dai family also went completely mad. They were responsible for the personal protection of Young Master Huan, and now that the young master is dead, it is obvious what the consequences would be for them.

Who is Dai Huan? He is the young master of the Dai family in Hexi, the legitimate son of the current family head, and as long as nothing goes wrong, he is undoubtedly the next family head. His audacity to abduct Song Yan, the legitimate daughter of the Song family in Tianhe, who is also the next prospective family head, speaks volumes about the extent of his power. The elders of the Song family are well aware of everything that has transpired, yet they turn a blind eye and allow him to take Song Yan away, swaggering into the forbidden area of the Song family. This is beyond mere description of overwhelming power.

"Miss, you summon the young master!" The old man suddenly reacted amidst the thick smell of blood and gunpowder, shouting at Song Yan, "I will report to the elders immediately!"

Wang Sheng killed Dai Huan, the old man killed the guard, and Song Yan killed the guard; all of this occurred within one second after Dai Huan issued the order

As soon as the thought arose, Wang Sheng saw the old man's sword being deflected by his opponent, swinging to the side. If he had thrust in the direction Wang Sheng had just contemplated, the opponent would not have had any chance to block at all

At this moment, both Song Yan and Uncle Lao Yu were filled with further speculation about Wang Sheng's origins. Could it be that this sudden brute truly is a master from one of those hidden aristocratic families? However, judging by Wang Sheng's movements and demeanor, he did not appear to be a master, which made it truly difficult to ascertain.

From drawing the gun to accurately shooting, Wang Sheng's record is 0.5 seconds. However, at the moment he took the shot, Wang Sheng felt that he seemed to have made a breakthrough, being slightly faster than his usual speed, estimating the draw speed to be around 0.4 seconds

Wang Sheng had just put the pistol back into the holster on his thigh when he suddenly heard the word "son-in-law," causing him to stumble and nearly fall. What on earth is a son-in-law?

Blushing is one thing, shyness is another, but Song Yan understands that Uncle Lao Yu is right. Wang Sheng descended from the sky and effortlessly killed Dai Huan; he is definitely a person worth courting.

As he watched this scene, Wang Sheng suddenly had a thought flash through his mind, an idea that was quite extraordinary. If this sword were to be angled slightly upward to the side, the effect would be even better

It has always been Dai Huan who kills, who would dare to kill Dai Huan? It is not that no one has attempted it, but those individuals were eliminated by the experts of the Dai family before they could even approach within a hundred meters of Dai Huan. The lofty young master of the Dai family, the renowned Young Master Huan, how could he possibly be killed by an unknown savage from the wilderness? Especially under heavy guard.

Equally swift in action as the old man was the seemingly delicate Song Yan. Still as a maiden yet quick as a hare, when she moved, she was fierce and aggressive, completely resembling a different person. Although she also seized a guard's long sword, her movements were even more graceful, directly reversing the blade and gliding it across the guard's throat with remarkable smoothness
