"Hiss..."
The thugs who had been rushing towards Xiao Zheng drew in a sharp breath of cold air when they saw Tu Kun cleaved into two halves by a single slash from his blade, all of them filled with fear.
Yet, Xiao Zheng didn’t stop for a mont.
After killing Tu Kun, his body surged forward into the midst of everyone. The curved blade traced a dazzling, frigid path through the air and landed on Xin Yuming.
Xin Yuming’s face was stricken with terror. With a loud shout, he drew a snow-white sword, as pristine as jade, and desperately tried to block. With a clang, blade t sword.
A trace of joy surfaced on Xin Yuming’s face; he had blocked it! But in the next mont, his expression drastically changed as he felt a massive force transmitted from the curved blade.
Boom!
Xin Yuming couldn’t withstand the force; the jade-like sword was suppressed by the curved blade, deeply slicing into his body. Before he could react, his upper body had already separated from his lower half and was flying away, falling to the ground as blood gushed wildly.
"Ah!!"
He was considered a skilled fighter with strong vitality. Even though he was severed in half, he didn’t die imdiately and howled in agony for a few monts before falling silent.
The others were even more terrified.
"You... who on earth are you!"
Soone yelled in horror, "I... I won’t fight you anymore! You’re not human, you’re not human!" And turned to run outside.
Xiao Zheng’s gaze was cold as he threw the curved blade, striking the man in the back and piercing through his chest. Under the force of montum, the man continued to run a few steps forward before suddenly collapsing to the ground.
Then Xiao Zheng went on a killing spree.
One punch was thrown, striking Lan Tianlong squarely in the head. There was a muffled bang, and Xiao Zheng’s fist had already retracted. The next mont, Lan Tianlong’s head exploded.
By that ti, Xiao Zheng had already moved elsewhere, blood splattering everywhere but not touching him.
After that, Xiao Zheng kicked out, caving in Mu Lanhe’s chest. Mu Lanhe spat blood violently and died within monts.
Several more strikes followed in quick succession.
The remaining few didn’t block a single blow, and their screams of agony filled the air as they died brutal deaths.
In just a short ti, the once fierce and arrogant crowd was gone, every last one of them killed by Xiao Zheng. Long Qie and Titan stood at a distance, exchanging a look of shock. They were both already powerful, but compared to Xiao Zheng, they were far behind.
They didn’t possess the effortless grace that Xiao Zheng had when annihilating all his opponents.
"Mr. Xiao has beco monstrously powerful!"
Both of them sighed softly.
With a faint smile, Xiao Zheng, having dealt with these people, returned to the villa’s courtyard and asked Eight-faced Buddha, "Is the wine ward up?"
Dressed in simple white clothes, with delicate hands, Eight-faced Buddha picked up a wine bottle from the small red clay stove and slowly poured a cup. The wine was a clear green, translucent like jade, and its fragrance wafted through the air. Eight-faced Buddha held up the wine cup and offered it to Xiao Zheng, saying with a smile, "Please drink."
Xiao Zheng downed the cup of wine in one go and looked at Eight-faced Buddha seriously, "You have been in this prison for too long. Co out with ."
Eight-faced Buddha just shook her head, smiling, "I’ve gotten used to staying here, I don’t want to go out to the outside world."
Seeing that Eight-faced Buddha was serious, Xiao Zheng could only sigh and say, "So be it. Since you wish to stay, I won’t say anymore."
After these words, there was no more conversation between them; they returned to the calm they had before. They drank a pot of wine, and then Xiao Zheng stood up, took his leave, and went outside.
eting up with Long Qie and Titan, Xiao Zheng said, "Once we get out, arrange for so people to enter Red Prison and protect this villa."
Long Qie chuckled and said, "Boss, do you have a crush on that chick inside?"
Xiao Zheng scolded with a chuckle, "Cut it out, don’t talk nonsense."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng explained, "So many people ca to the Red Prison this ti to snatch the Golden Bone from her, but this woman didn’t reveal at all that the Golden Bone had already reached my hands.
Although I don’t understand why she did it, it’s still a favor after all. Sky Net always repays its debts."
Long Qie and Titan, hearing Xiao Zheng’s earnest words, both respectfully replied, "Yes."
"Hmm."
Xiao Zheng nodded and then said, "At the sa ti, go out and check on the background of this group of experts, who they really are, and who wants to get their hands on the Golden Bone."
Upon hearing this, Titan nodded, his expression slightly serious, and said, "The Golden Bone, apart from you, Mr. Xiao, isn’t of much use to others. The person behind these experts, since they want to seize the Golden Bone, God knows what sches they have."
Xiao Zheng agreed, "That’s what I’m worried about, too."
The three of them talked as they left the inner prison. Then, without much delay in the outer prison, they left the place in a bright jeep under the arrangent of the prison director.
After arriving in Zhonghai City, the three of them split up. Long Qie and Titan went back to their secret base, planning to arrange for soone to enter the Red Prison and starting to investigate the forces behind that group of experts. anwhile, Xiao Zheng returned to Yunlan Villa.
He rested for a while, then went to work.
Arriving at the company, he greeted everyone and then sat down at his desk, preparing to take this ti to thoroughly research the Golden Bone.
But for the whole day, he found nothing.
Just as he was about to finish work, Xiao Zheng suddenly heard a commotion outside. Curious, he stood up and walked outside, grabbing soone to ask, "What’s going on?"
The person was a sales departnt staffer, a girl who yelped in surprise when Xiao Zheng grabbed her. She turned around, saw it was Xiao Zheng, and breathed a sigh of relief, chastising, "You scared to death."
Xiao Zheng, with his handso looks and good temper, had shown his extraordinary qualities on multiple occasions in the company. Hence, in the sales departnt, everyone’s attitude towards him was very good. Even many of the girls in the departnt had sent him flirtatious glances.
Xiao Zheng chuckled, "Scaring you to death is perfect, then I can sneak you to my place."
The girl gave Xiao Zheng a flirtatious glare before she said, "A car arrived outside the company, they say there’s a VIP inside, the Family Head of the Hua Family, Hua Muran!"
"Oh?"
At the ntion of Hua Muran, Xiao Zheng was startled.
That girl?
Xiao Zheng had a deep impression of Hua Muran. Back when he was building the Tianji Sect in Zhonghai City, he had rescued Hua Muran from a few hoodlums. Since then, it seed that girl developed a little interest in him.
This ti returning to Zhonghai City, that mischievous little girl had transford into the Family Head of the Hua Family!
And the last ti he punished those miscreants from Tianji Sect, it was Hua Muran who had helped clean up the aftermath. After such a long ti without seeing her, he found himself sowhat missing her.
"Could she have co looking for ?"
Xiao Zheng wondered.
Thinking this, Xiao Zheng touched his nose, intending not to stir up trouble. But after giving it so thought, he figured there was no need to avoid her, considering she was just a girl.
With that in mind, Xiao Zheng smiled and, since it was ti to leave work, walked straight towards the exterior of the building. Along the way, he saw many people stationed at various corners of the company, observing Hua Muran.
Curiosity filled their eyes.
After all, Hua Muran was a true celebrity in Zhonghai City—the Family Head of the Hua Family, with a very high status, even a bit more formidable than Leng Ruobing, the CEO of Qianqiu Group!
