Having bypassed several layers of iron gates, Xiao Zheng successfully entered the inner prison.
It wasn’t so much his entry into the inner prison as it was Futu’s connections that played a role.
With Futu as his backing, not just the Red Prison, but any departnt was accessible without hindrance!
After entering the inner prison, Xiao Zheng was startled to find that this so-called inner prison wasn’t underground at all.
Underground, there was a passageway, the only route to the inner prison, and at the end of this passageway lay another world of the Red Prison!
The differences between this place and the outer prison were vast.
The outer prison resembled a land of exile, barren everywhere, whereas the inner prison lay within a gloomy, damp, and dark dungeon!
After crossing several barriers, he arrived at his destination, the Eight-faced Buddha Prison!
Outside the dungeon, a giant stone stele stood, inscribed with four large characters!
However, when Xiao Zheng entered the dungeon, the scene before him far exceeded his expectations.
At the end of a narrow, dark corridor was a large iron gate, wide open, and beyond it was a brightly lit world. On closer inspection, it was a luxurious mansion!
The mansion had everything one could ask for—pink furniture, expensive rosewood tables and chairs, white floors, luxurious chandeliers, and even a woman dressed in a white gown, sitting like a fairy at the piano in the mansion, deeply focused, absentmindedly playing a waltz!
Her high nose bridge, eyebrows arced like painted strokes, cherry-red lips, delicate features, and skin as clear as snow... She was simply a masterpiece carved by the heavens!
Such a beauty, appearing in this deathly prison!
Xiao Zheng couldn’t believe his own eyes, thinking it was an illusion...
But, the rhythmic waltz proved that the sight before him was not an illusion but a real existence.
"Could it be that the keeper of the Red Prison, Eight-faced Buddha, is a woman?"
Xiao Zheng felt a wave of annoyance.
Striding into the mansion, he looked back at the dark passageway with a bitter smile and shook his head. It was indeed a stark contrast between two worlds.
His arrival didn’t attract the woman’s attention; instead, she focused more intensely on her piano playing, her exquisite beauty outshining even the celebrities from Korea.
Since there was a beauty playing the piano, Xiao Zheng was in no hurry. He found a spot to sit down, noticed wine on the table, and without hesitation poured himself a glass to enjoy.
The woman continued playing, her slender, jade-like fingers as if imbued with life, dancing across the piano keys...
About five minutes later, she finally stopped playing, closed her beautiful eyes slowly, and lifted her head to take a deep breath.
She said emotionlessly, "Do you know where you are?"
Everything appeared so natural and calm, as though the cool voice didn’t co from her!
Xiao Zheng smiled and looked at her. "I know a little bit."
"Since you know, aren’t you afraid of dying?"
"Heh, I’m soone who is about to die anyway, sooner or later; it’s just a matter of ti," Xiao Zheng responded with a smug smile.
If he couldn’t gather the Golden Bone, his death was inevitable, so why not take a risk?
"Are you here for the Golden Bone?"
To his surprise, as soon as Xiao Zheng spoke, the other party already knew his purpose.
Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow, a look of embarrassnt on his face, and scratching his nose, he said with a grin, "Since you know I’m here for the Golden Bone, I wonder if I have the fate to find it."
The woman’s brow furrowed, her delicate hand sweeping through the air as she said coldly, "Leave now, and you may not need to die."
"What if I don’t leave?"
Xiao Zheng said with a playful smile.
Whoosh!
The woman suddenly opened her eyes wide, a cold light reflecting from her beautiful snowy eyes, her entire deanor becoming incredibly sharp in an instant.
Xiao Zheng shook his head, "I don’t want to fight a woman."
"I don’t want to kill you either."
She said blandly.
Fuck!
Xiao Zheng was stunned, damn, that direct? ntioning killing just like that? Thinking I’m an easy target?
In order to avoid a conflict, Xiao Zheng, with a sycophantic grin, said, "Beauty, we can negotiate terms. Just give the Golden Bone, and I guarantee I will do anything within my power for you."
"No need."
Unexpectedly, she outright rejected him.
This completely disrupted Xiao Zheng’s subsequent thoughts.
"Then what will it take for you to hand over the Golden Bone?"
Xiao Zheng’s eyes narrowed into slits, his gaze gradually becoming sowhat sinister.
If she insisted on not handing over the Golden Bone, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t mind getting physical.
It seed she saw through Xiao Zheng’s intentions.
That delicately beautiful yet cold face remained unfazed as she took a small box out from the piano cabinet, placed it carelessly on the piano stand, and snorted coldly, "No matter what thod you use, if you can take it from , it’s yours."
"Really? No matter what thod?"
Xiao Zheng was amused.
She nodded her head without saying a word.
She continued playing the piano.
Of course, Xiao Zheng wasn’t foolish enough to take her words simply. Since she dared make such a statent, she must have had enough confidence that Xiao Zheng wouldn’t be able to take the Golden Bone.
Thus, what Xiao Zheng had to do was use so unimaginable thods to take the Golden Bone.
"Good! Is it really true?"
Xiao Zheng’s lips curved into a smile, his steps swayed lightly as he prepared to abruptly take the Golden Bone.
"It’s true."
Her voice was clear and pleasant to hear, yet it carried an undertone of chill.
"Good! Then don’t regret this!"
Suddenly, Xiao Zheng’s steps swayed, and he lunged at the woman like an arrow released from its bow.
Facing Xiao Zheng’s extre speed, the woman remained composed, continuing to play her piano.
Just as Xiao Zheng’s hand was about to touch the piano stand, a pair of icy eyes suddenly swept toward him.
Then, Xiao Zheng clearly saw the black piano keys eerily rise, seemingly slow.
Whoosh!
Suddenly! The black piano keys whooshed, slicing toward Xiao Zheng’s neck like flying knives.
The speed was as fast as lightning, even catching Xiao Zheng off guard.
Clang!
Sparks flew, and in extre danger, Xiao Zheng caught the piano key in his mouth. The hard piano key collided with his teeth, imdiately causing Xiao Zheng’s gums to bleed, and the massive force threw him nearly two ters away!!!
"What a domineering force!"
Xiao Zheng’s heart skipped a beat.
After releasing the piano key, two of his teeth broke, falling to the ground.
anwhile, the woman continued to play the piano, as if all of this was unrelated to her.
"The Eight-faced Buddha’s reputation is indeed well-deserved."
Xiao Zheng genuinely admired her, a woman who could train to such a domineering level of martial prowess truly impressed Xiao Zheng.
"I can give you one chance, leave and live; if you fail the challenge, you die!"
She said this focused and expressionless.
"Heh, many have wanted dead, who do you think you are?"
Xiao Zheng charged again. He couldn’t believe that, as the Evil God dominating North Africa, he couldn’t handle one woman, whether she was the Eight-faced Buddha or the Nine-faced Buddha!
Whoosh...
Another black piano key shot toward him, this ti Xiao Zheng was prepared, tilting his head as the piano key grazed his neck and flew by, followed by another piano key.
He dodged again!
Then, five or six piano keys shot toward him, leaving him no chance to dodge!
