Strongest Soldier King

The spacious martial arts gym was eerily quiet, and even the bustling traffic sounds outside had disappeared due to the lockdown. The scorching sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, spilling onto the floor and adding a touch of vitality to the quiet gym. On the sofa in the lounge area, the gym owner and Luo Zheng quietly stared at each other, neither speaking, their minds unknown to each other. These two mortal enemies were calmly facing each other at this moment, without a storm of insults or interrogation, nor fists and kicks, just a cold and steady gaze.

Anyone who can remain calm at this moment has a mind that's not simple. Luo Zheng couldn't help but mentally give more credit to the opponent, not speaking, and continued to scrutinize the opponent, not letting go of the slightest expression, carefully sensing the faint and calm aura emanating from the opponent, all while contemplating the conspiracy behind the opponent's calmness.

A gym filled with explosives, a pulse detonator, a powerful capture, all of this combined with the half container of explosives accidentally found at sea, revealed a crazed air of conspiracy. Luo Zheng dared not be careless in the slightest, and the gym owner on the opposite side was similarly scrutinizing Luo Zheng, full of curiosity. Such a ridiculously young person had actually pushed his family to the brink and forced his own country to lose face.

After a while, the two unexpectedly chuckled simultaneously, as Shijing Chun calmly said, "I didn't expect you to return."

"Would you have detonated this place if I hadn't come?" Luo Zheng replied evenly.

Their manner of conversation was somewhat like old friends meeting, peaceful yet peeking into each other's eagerness within. Shijing Chun laughed at this, his flushed face displaying a few traces of coldness, saying, "Exactly, if detonated, at least three to fifty people would accompany me in death, but upon hearing you arrived, comparatively, your life is worth more."

"Should I thank you?" Luo Zheng sneered, asking rhetorically.

"Whatever you like." Shijing Chun casually glanced out the window, his face now colder, his half-closed triangular eyes showing a trace of life's longing, and continued, "You destroyed the Death God Base and killed many of my elite Death Gods, we might as well settle this score today."

"With me as your companion, are you proud?" Luo Zheng sneered back, his hands inadvertently tightening around a nail.

"Not really, to be honest, I don't want to die, nor did I expect you to chase to Shanghai so quickly. I'm quite curious, aren't you supposed to be keeping an eye in Beijing? How did you end up in Shanghai? Where did we slip up? Can you explain before I die?" Shijing Chun said coldly.

"What's the point knowing when we're all dead?" Luo Zheng retorted, his muscles secretly tensing like a leopard ready to launch at any moment.

"Just don't want to leave this world with regrets; it's fine if you don't want to say." Shijing Chun said, again sizing up Luo Zheng from top to bottom, saying, "You look like you're in your early twenties, there are many wonderful things in this world you haven't enjoyed yet and now you'll die, don't you think it's a shame?"

"It's quite a shame, but will you stop?" Luo Zheng replied rhetorically.

"Uh? You are quite special, seems the Shijing family losing to you was indeed not unjust." Shijing Chun said coldly, "This place is about to become nothing, and I will lead the family's biggest enemy into hell together. To be honest, I am afraid, but also glad. For the family, please accompany me on this journey."

"Wait a moment." Luo Zheng suddenly said, "Just like you said, I don't want to leave the world with regrets. Can you enlighten me?"

"Sure, ask away, but I may not answer." Shijing Chun coldly watched Luo Zheng and said, fiddling with a remote in his hand, like a pen, with his thumb pressed against the button, raising it, he continued, "Don't play tricks, there are bombs beneath our sofas, once this detonator is pressed, the bombs are enough to turn us to dust. With my capability, pressing this button takes just a tenth of a second, which you can't possibly stop. Want to try?"

"No need to try, your calmness tells me that what you said isn't false. Besides the bomb beneath the sofa, there should be others around, enough to destroy the entire building, right? But I'm curious, we've jammed the signals here, how will you detonate the explosives?" Luo Zheng asked.

"With your signal jammer?" Shijing Chun laughed, as if hearing something funny, continued, "I won't comment on your signal jammer, it has nothing to do with me, this pulse detonator is custom-made, you can't interfere. Once I die, the explosives here will detonate, the signal can be received within a kilometer, do you believe it?"

"I believe." Luo Zheng nodded without hesitation, saying, "Since you're from the Shijing family, you must know the Death God Killer Organization, where are the Death God Killers you've sent in our country hidden?"

"Do you think I'd answer such a question?" Shijing Chun laughed coldly.

"Indeed, you wouldn't, I didn't expect you to." Luo Zheng smiled faintly, suddenly making his move, the nail hidden in his palm was swiftly flung at Shijing Chun, targeting the Shenque acupoint and Qi Hai acupoint. The Shenque acupoint is located at the center of the navel pit, hitting it affects the intercostal nerve, vibrates bowels, and bladder, impairing Qi, causing the body to lose functionality; Qi Hai acupoint is located at the anterior midline below the navel, hitting it impacts the abdominal wall, dynamic arteries, and intercostals, breaking the blood stagnation, causing the body to lose functionality.

These two major acupoints make the body lose functionality without being fatal, the two were just two meters apart, coupled with Luo Zheng's swift and concealed move, making it too late for the opponent to react, as the nail flashed with dark light, quickly striking the opponent's acupoints.

Almost simultaneously, Luo Zheng's body erupted, pouncing like a fierce tiger, the nails deftly twisting in his palm, swiftly gripped by his thumb, index, and middle fingers. Shijing Chun realized and was about to detonate the bombs but found his identity lost control, utterly powerless, he was shocked.

In that shock, Luo Zheng had already pounced, like a fierce tiger, his body bursting with intense fighting spirit, seemingly aiming to completely burn, incinerate Shijing Chun. The nail tightly clutched between the thumb, index, and middle finger fiercely pierced through Shijing Chun's outer clothing, stabbing into the Jianjing acupoint.

Shijing Chun was subjected physically, coupled with Luo Zheng's incredibly swift attack, so swift that thought couldn't follow, it was beyond reaction as he was quickly struck by the nail.

The Jianjing acupoint is located at the midpoint of the line between the Dazhui acupoint and acromion, at the highest point of the shoulder, hitting it causes half the body to become numb. For safety, Luo Zheng first used nails for discreet attacks on Shijing Chun's Shenque acupoint and Qi Hai acupoint, with either acupoint struck, Shijing Chun would lose bodily function, buying time for subsequent attacks.
