Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Seeing the Eight-faced Buddha Again【21 More】

She then used her hands and feet together, unleashing a series of deadly moves.

Xiao Zheng’s expression became slightly solemn, and he did not dare to be careless as he concentrated on the fight.

In an instant, the two of them turned into a blur of shadows!

To the naked eye, one could only hear the thumping noises of fists and feet colliding in the air, but they couldn’t see their figures.

The little girl’s speed was terrifying, but Xiao Zheng’s speed was equally astonishing, perhaps even a bit faster than the girl’s, like lightning and thunder.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes as he found an opening in the little girl’s defense and kicked out, hitting her squarely in the chest.

Boom!

The little girl, as if struck by a heavy blow, turned pale instantly, screamed in pain, and her body flew across the air, crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance.

"Defeated her!"

Long Qie and Titan’s eyes lit up.

At that moment, the little girl lying on the ground in the distance sprang up, and without a word, she started to run away.

Seeing this, Long Qie and Titan immediately panicked, "She’s escaping!" ready to chase after her in haste.

However, Xiao Zheng waved his hand to stop them, saying, "Forget it. This little girl holds no grudge against us, and dealing with her is troublesome anyway, so let’s not provoke her.

Our current mission is to check out what’s happening with Eight-faced Buddha in the inner jail."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately halted.

"Let’s go," Xiao Zheng said.

The three of them immediately headed towards the inner jail.

However, they all added a touch of doubt to their minds, wondering what kind of person was behind these expert fighters that convened them to Red Prison.

Like this little girl, who seemed only four or five years old, yet so powerful, she definitely could not be engaged by ordinary forces; the background had to be extremely terrifying!

And there are not many forces of this level in the world.

With Xiao Zheng and their strength, entering the inner jail, though they faced some resistance, they quickly overcame it.

However, they were also secretly surprised, as the quality of the fighters in the inner jail was much better than the last time, to the point where even they felt some difficulty!

Moreover, Xiao Zheng, with his keen senses, could feel that some in the inner jail had not made their move, and their strength could be... perhaps no weaker than his own!

Soon, they arrived at the villa at the very heart of the place.

"Wait here,"

Xiao Zheng instructed.

He then walked up to the villa door and knocked gently. After a moment, an ethereal, drifting voice emanated from within the villa.

"Come in."

Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and pushed the door open to enter.

Immediately, he saw a woman dressed in simple white clothes, serene and elegant, playing the qin.

This was Eight-faced Buddha!

The sound of the qin was pleasing to the ear, like a clear spring flowing, bringing tranquility to all who listened.

"Why have you come again?" Xiao Zheng entered, and the woman lifted her head, her eyes revealing a slight surprise as she asked.

In her opinion, Xiao Zheng had already obtained what he wanted; there was no need for him to come here again.

Eight-faced Buddha had also heard that many masters had recently come to the Red Prison. To enter this place, one had to risk great danger.

Eight-faced Buddha’s wonderful eyes fixed on Xiao Zheng, waiting for his response.

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "I heard that lately, many masters have infiltrated the inner prison, wanting to snatch the Golden Bone from you. I came to take a look."

Eight-faced Buddha smiled faintly and said, "They are just petty thieves, not worth mentioning."

This statement, though delivered calmly, revealed an air of dominance. Eight-faced Buddha’s combat strength was not inferior to Xiao Zheng’s, and in some respects, even surpassed him.

Xiao Zheng didn’t think so and said, "Although you don’t take those people seriously, when many come at you one after another, it always results in weariness from constant fighting. In fact, you could spread the news that I’ve obtained the Golden Bone, so they wouldn’t trouble you anymore."

Xiao Zheng’s words were loaded with meaning; he was testing Eight-faced Buddha’s true intentions. After all, her actions were abnormal—she hadn’t revealed at all that he had obtained the Golden Bone.

Eight-faced Buddha just smiled faintly and did not speak.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng knew that as long as this woman wished to remain silent, no one could expect her to open her mouth. However, he felt a vague sense of gratitude in his heart. For whatever reason, Eight-faced Buddha had not leaked the news of his acquisition of the Golden Bone.

Laughing, he said, "Since you don’t wish to answer, let it be. But, having made the effort to come here, you surely can’t fail to offer any hospitality, can you?"

Eight-faced Buddha did not speak; she simply stood up, took several pots of wine, gestured to Xiao Zheng, and walked out. Xiao Zheng hurriedly followed. The two arrived in a small courtyard, sat down, and drank wine under the moonlight.

Although the villa was underground, its construction was peculiar. The courtyard still allowed a view of the starry sky and the moon, albeit the canopy was much smaller, resembling a tiny window.

Eight-faced Buddha filled two cups with wine, took one, and said, "Drink." Xiao Zheng smiled, clinked cups with her, and drank it down.

The atmosphere between them was peaceful. They didn’t talk much, simply sipping wine quietly.

In such a situation, ordinary people would feel awkward. However, Eight-faced Buddha’s demeanor was serene, and Xiao Zheng was carefree and nonchalant. The two were like intimate friends who, though silent, understood each other’s intentions perfectly. This truly epitomized "friends who have forgotten words."

Time slowly passed by.

When the moon reached its zenith, a series of tumultuous footsteps suddenly came from outside the villa, indicating that a large group of masters was approaching.

Beyond that, there were various roars and shrieks, human in origin, yet as terrifying as ferocious beasts, causing the listeners to shudder in fear.

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and said, "It seems they have come looking for you."

Eight-faced Buddha said indifferently, "They cannot get in."

This villa could, in some respects, be considered the most secure prison. Those inside could hardly get out. Likewise, those outside could not hope to enter.

But Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, "They may not get in, but they are disturbing you."

Eight-faced Buddha replied, "When the heart is still like calm water, the noise of the outside world naturally does not reach the ears."

Xiao Zheng’s lips curved into a slight smile, looking at the serene woman before him, he said, "It’s no wonder you’re called ’Buddha’; your spirit truly is as untroubled as the Buddha himself, as still as an ancient well."

In response to these words of praise, Eight-faced Buddha merely smiled faintly, neither denying nor modest, without a word.

At that moment, Xiao Zheng picked up a pot of wine, toyed with it for a while, and laughed, "I heard that this Green Ant Liquor is an ancient wine from the Tang Dynasty, long lost to the world. I didn’t expect you to still have it here."

A look of surprise appeared on Eight-faced Buddha’s face, "You recognize it?"

Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "Green Ant newly brewed wine, red clay small stove. The Green Ant Liquor must be warmed to taste its best. Please help me warm it while I step out for a moment."

Xiao Zheng stood up and strode outside.
