Strongest Soldier King

The mist-filled canyon was shrouded with countless waterfalls cascading down, smashing onto the massive rocks at the bottom, splattering into thousands of water droplets, creating a thunderous roar that was shocking, akin to thousands of horses galloping, trampling on eardrums and hearts, pushing one to the brink of collapse. Large rocks tumbled from the cliffs piled on both sides of the canyon, layered, scattered, with sunlight filtering through the mist, cloaking these stones in a layer of golden light, creating a unique spectacle. Two black shadows swiftly darted across, leaping from one rock to another, agile and rapid, like sprinting leopards.

Ahead ran a middle-aged man, slightly plump, yet his step skill was light and swift. After a few jumps, he quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the bullet shot from behind, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, able to foresee when the person behind would shoot, truly terrifying. The distance between him and the pursuer widened, he was precisely the new leader of the Death God Killer Organization, Shijing Teng.

To become the new leader of the Death God Killer Organization, one's strength must undoubtedly be formidable, otherwise how could one control those fierce warriors of the Death God Killer Organization? Shijing Teng had another identity, which was the deputy hall master of Sanhe Martial Arts Hall, a position not won by intellect alone.

Behind in pursuit was Lan Xue, shooting occasionally during the chase, yet failing to hit the target. Firstly, the opponent's speed was too fast, secondly, the bizarre, rocky terrain with its ups and downs favored evasion, making aiming difficult. Lan Xue's face turned ashen with anger, she let loose her steps to chase fiercely, conserving bullets, keeping a constant eye on the opponent, wary of the opponent suddenly stopping to counterattack.

After pursuing for a distance, Lan Xue found the gap between them growing wider, frustrated by the opponent's faster speed, she grit her teeth and perseveringly pursued tirelessly, recklessly determined. The willpower of a woman was astonishing, Lan Xue fully committed, unleashing terrifying potential, managing to close the gap again.

With Shijing Teng's ability, he completely could avoid running, but Shijing Teng realized a critical issue: a large number of people from Huaxia Country were heading this way, stopping to fight Lan Xue would waste the optimal escape opportunity. This jump put him in a passive position, the risks were too great if he stopped to counterattack; he could only continue to run wildly.

The two ran one after the other, with unsteady footing, darting left and right, as if springs were installed under their feet, landing and leaping forward quickly. This went on for half an hour; Lan Xue hadn't seen reinforcements arrive, her heart sank, but remembering the crimes committed by Shijing Teng, she grit her teeth and pursued relentlessly.

After chasing for another ten minutes, both were breathless, severely exhausted physically, drenched with mist and sweat. Shijing Teng, after all, was aging, accustomed to a life of ease, hadn't done such high-intensity exercise for many years. His stamina failed, he rolled behind a large rock to hide, gasping for air, whilst vigilantly keeping his ears up, tightly clutching his gun.

Seeing Shijing Teng stop, Lan Xue also quickly jumped behind a large rock to hide, leaning on it and gasping, feeling her lungs about to burst. Her head was hazy from severe oxygen deprivation, she had to open her mouth wide to breathe desperately, also tightly holding the gun, staying alert, guarding against Shijing Teng taking advantage of an opportunity to sneak attack.

After waiting for a while, neither initiated an attack. Once their breathing steadied a bit, Shijing Teng suddenly shouted loudly: "I indeed underestimated you. Speak, how can you let me go? Right now, there's only you and me here, no need to worry about leaking out. Name a price, I'll agree to whatever."

"Put away your tricks." Lan Xue replied coldly, unmoved, forcing herself to calm down, vigilantly observing her surroundings, mastering the terrain, while crawling forward with hands and feet like a snake, her gaze sharp as frost, pulsating with fierce killing intent.

"Don't push me too far. I have no way to survive; with your strength, you aren't a match for me anyway. If worst comes to worst, fish dies, net breaks. You're still young, dying would be a pity." Shijing Teng continued trying to persuade.

"I have nothing, it doesn't matter. You're different, noble status. Catching you is an incomparable honor; even if I die in battle, I'll be a martyr, dying without regret. Barefoot's aren't afraid of those wearing shoes. Come on, let's see who ultimately wins." Lan Xue replied coldly, keeping vigilantly focused on the front, suddenly darting through the passage between two large rocks, hiding a few meters ahead, gripping her gun and staying alert.

"Stubborn one, I'll give you a hundred million gold, you'll have everything soon enough. How about it?" Shijing Teng continued coaxing, also vigilantly observing the surrounding terrain, suddenly crawling over a large rock. There was still another stone above the rock, perfect for concealment, allowing him to observe the situation from above.

Lan Xue also noticed this stone, having the same idea, seeing a black shadow leap agilely like a monkey, knowing it was Shijing Teng. She quickly crouched down, leaned against the rock, took deep breaths, calmed her heartbeat, her mind also cooling a bit, maneuvered to another side.

"How's this price?" Shijing Teng shouted.

Answering meant exposing her position; Lan Xue already had plans, didn't respond, quickly maneuvered behind Shijing Teng. There was only one stone atop the large rock, blocking one direction; though occupying an advantageous height, the downside was also clear, with no cover from other three directions.

Shijing Teng shouted a few more times. Seeing no response from Lan Xue, instantly alert, he looked around, not finding Lan Xue's trace, he rushed forward recklessly, unwilling to stay longer. Seeing this, Lan Xue cursed the old fox silently, had to emerge from cover and pursue closely, nearly catching up with him, pity.

The two ran one after another. Ten minutes later, Shijing Teng once again exhausted his stamina, had to hide somewhere. Lan Xue charged up, iron-faced, hiding behind a large rock, hesitating not, quickly maneuvered up. The previous run revealed Shijing Teng's weakness to Lan Xue, being of age, his stamina lacking posterior strength.

Soon, Lan Xue maneuvered to Shijing Teng's hiding spot, her foot stepping on a fist-sized stone, she suddenly had an idea, picked it up and hurled it forward. Her body burst forth, gun barrel pointed ahead, her gaze biting like frost, firmly fixing on the giant rock behind which Shijing Teng was hiding.

Upon hearing the air-cutting sound, Shijing Teng suddenly looked up, seeing something dark flying, thinking it was a grenade, he was startled, rapidly retreated to the rock corner, embracing his head, intending to wait for the explosion to pass, just as Lan Xue emerged to witness this scene.

Caught a rare opportunity, Lan Xue was delighted, without hesitation, she pulled the trigger.

"Click, click!" The trigger sound echoed, the pistol couldn't be used again. Lan Xue's face turned icy like frost, angrily throwing the pistol at Shijing Teng.
