Chapter 67 - Level ? - Rings of Domination and Strength (2/2)
The special ops team from the strongest hidden organization in the world was dropping out of their transport.
After a minute or so, they were close to their drop off point at the rooftop of the high-rise building. Based on the mission debrief, this place was one of the 3 biggest magical surges in China. Moreover, these surges had some traces of the subject zero.
40 meters or so, before the being smashed into a meat paste, soldiers from the team started slowing down and smoothly landed on the roof.
”Team alpha reached the destination point. Ready to infiltrate. Entering stealth.”
The team in the sci-fi armor suits that were second ago there suddenly vanished into thin air. Neither sound nor sight could discover these people now.

[Enemies have landed. Scanning... Equipment fits the description of Shadow's squad. Applying the ”Shadow” label. Data exchange was discovered. Commence hacking... Successful, access granted.]

The team started slowly going down through the building, inspecting every room on their way. There were a ton of guards, patroling each floor. However, for this team of special operatives, these guards were a small obstacle.
Finally, after walking down 3 floors, they found an entrance to a very big room, guarded better than the ones before. However, nobody expected enemy rushing from the top rather than from the bottom. So, the door leading to the room was just a normal wooden door that easy to open, simplifying escaping through the roof.
”Central, have a vision of a suspicious location. Requesting permission to open fire.”
”Is there any other way to quietly infiltrate?”
”None. Too many potential hostiles.”
”Permission granted. Make it quick. Don't leave anyone alive.”
”Yes.”

[Enemies were granted permission to open fire. Start the ”Premonition” protocol. Sending signal.]

Man in a suit that didn't limit his movements, was sitting in a giant room, surrounded by the most influential people of Shanghai and China overall. These people were rulers of Underworld, gangsters, and businessmen.
On the hand of that man was a small and inconspicuous ring with aragonite stone incrusted into it.
Suddenly stone lit up for but a moment, but at that moment, the man felt that something horribly wrong should happen.
He looked at the people around him first.
”Cheng Jian, is something wrong?”
Then his pupils constricted and he screamed:
”Everyone down!”
People here were experienced fighters and leaders, so they knew what it's like to be at the brink of death. Moreover, they wholeheartedly trusted this man. So, the moment he said down, most of the people instantly dropped on the floor.
And a second later, that proved to be a good decision because backdoor to this room was blown away with small debris flying everywhere.
Another second later, 5 men in some very futuristic armor stormed into the room, but before they could even raise their weapons...

Since soldiers entering 0.1 seconds passed.
Cheng Jian started running towards the closest soldier.
0.2 seconds passed.
*Boom*
Sound of the air bursting started spreading in the room, while the man appeared near one of the soldiers and his fist with a ring on it was already punching towards the head.
0.3 seconds passed.
*Crack*
First, the head has cracked under the force, but due to the amount of the force, the pressure was building up inside the skull and soon it just...
0.4 seconds passed.
*Crunch**Boom*
Pressure not finding a proper exit started going outside the skull, pulverizing everything standing in its way and turning hardest bones into small shards. And upon meeting air, pressure, as well as the force that was creating it ripped air apart creating a booming sound akin to bomb exploding.
But unfortunately for the soldiers, Bearer of the Strength Ring was moving faster than sound at that moment.
1 second passed
*Boom**Crunch**Crash**Crack*
The second soldier got a punch in his heart and despite his armor absorbing most of the kinetic energy, momentum of the punch pulverized everything in the left part of his ċhėst. Moreover, he was already flying in the direction of the said momentum.
Third one, got a straight jab at the neck, instantly decapitating him.
The fourth one was still in the air from the blow to his groin, which also turned the spine into an incomplete puzzle.
And the final fifth soldier was held by the neck and slowly lifted up.
Then Cheng Jian in perfect English asked:
”Who the heck are you and what you are doing on Chinese turf?”
He was sure these people were outside of China. After all, everyone in China with half-a-brain wouldn't mess with the ”Immortal Dragon” of Shanghai.
