Chapter 542: Chapter 542: Trap

"You all stay here and guard the entrance; this passage is filled with laser beams, only I can get through,"

Xiao Zheng said simply and then charged in. Gang Qi surged around his body, resonating at the same frequency as the laser beams.

He rushed through like a gust of wind, crossing the five-thousand-meter-long corridor in a very short time, and then he reached the air vent, following the procedure to close it.

Then, through the air vent and along the hallway, he entered the huge bathing pool.

Originally, Xiao Zheng had prepared for a great battle, knowing that as long as Angela was not there, no matter who or what weapon stood in front of him, he was confident that he could completely defeat them with his own strength!

Strength, that was his greatest confidence.

However, from the deceiving maneuvers at the beginning to the stealthy entry into the bathing pool, everything had gone unexpectedly smoothly, which made Xiao Zheng feel uneasy. What was going on? Could the Constantine family really be so incompetent as to have no defensive measures prepared?

Regardless, now was not the time to ponder these things. Xiao Zheng quickly focused his attention on the Golden Bone. He wasn’t afraid to face any issues that might arise later; he could handle them as they came. All that mattered was getting the Golden Bone, by any means necessary.

"Sense!"

Xiao Zheng activated the three Golden Bone phalanges within his body with his spirit and then sensed the location of the Golden Bone in the pool.

With a hum!

The air seemed to suddenly materialize a transparent giant hand that grasped Xiao Zheng and dragged him forcibly to a certain spot.

When Xiao Zheng steadied himself and looked around, he was surprised to find himself at the other end of the pool, where a large shrine was placed. Inside, the shrine contained a bone that emitted a faint golden glow, resembling a human sternum.

"Golden Bone!"

Xiao Zheng was overjoyed.

With just one glance, he confirmed it without a doubt, for the aura was the same!

What surprised Xiao Zheng even more was that this Golden Bone was different from the previous phalanges he had obtained!

The phalanges he had before were withered, sallow, as if all divinity had been lost from them. But this sternum, shining with a faint golden luster, felt as if it held boundless and vast power upon closer sensing.

"Perhaps after obtaining it, I’ll unlock even more secrets related to the Golden Bone," Xiao Zheng thought excitedly.

But now was not the time to reflect on these things. Without hesitation, Xiao Zheng reached out, took the Golden Bone from the shrine, and placed it on his person, then he started back the way he had come.

Everything still went smoothly!

From the hallway to the air vent and then to the laser corridor, he encountered no dangers at all, arriving directly at the hall where Long Qie and Titan were.

"Mr. Xiao, how did it go?" Long Qie and Titan asked anxiously upon seeing Xiao Zheng.

"Got it!" Xiao Zheng said with a smile on his face.

"Really?"

Both Long Qie and Titan were overjoyed, unable to hold back their laughter. If they weren’t inside the castle, they would certainly have laughed out loud!

Both were acutely aware of Xiao Zheng’s physical condition and so were extremely worried; their desire to find the Golden Bone was even more urgent than Xiao Zheng’s own.

For they held unparalleled loyalty to Xiao Zheng, ready to give their lives without a moment’s hesitation. To them, Xiao Zheng’s affairs were always the top priority, superseding any personal concerns.

Therefore, their excitement and joy were heartfelt.

"Alright, let’s not linger here. Ten Killings may have tied up many of the masters, but they won’t be distracted for long. If those masters return, escaping from here would become a troublesome affair," Xiao Zheng warned.

Xiao Zheng smiled and immediately headed for the outside. Long Qie and Titan nodded and quickly followed suit.

However, just as they were about to leave through the small door they had used before, a sudden change occurred.

Boom!

In front of them, the corridor leading to the small door collapsed with a thunderous sound!

It collapsed without any warning.

Huge stones tumbled down, the thunderous noise reverberating through the sky, dust billowing everywhere.

The path ahead was completely blocked in an instant!

"What’s going on?"

The three exchanged looks, shock apparent on their faces, it was incomprehensible.

Then they instantly realized—they had fallen into a trap!

’Hahaha.’

Just then, the sound of loud laughter came from a distance, followed by a group of more than a dozen people charging in from the other half of the hall, their bodies enveloped in thick white Gang Qi, assertive and domineering!

Clearly, these were experts.

They had reached the Innate level and cultivated Gang Qi!

Moreover, these Innate Masters weren’t comparable to the weakened Onmyoji or the sneaky Great Vajra taking shortcuts.

These experts were all honed by the formidable foundation of the Constantine family, each possessing powerful legacies and extensive combat experience, their strength many times greater than that of an average Innate Master!

Therefore, Xiao Zheng and the others furrowed their brows deeply.

"Surprised? Haha, we’ve known all along that you would come back, so we set up this strategy. You really walked right into our net!"

After these people arrived in the hall, the man who had laughed earlier stepped forward, speaking with a mocking smile.

He was a middle-aged man, with a thick and dense beard, and an incredibly robust physique. Yet he was dressed in a suit, like a gentleman, speaking in a measured tone with a gentle voice.

Eagle Country is a nation that values gentlemanly conduct, and even their strongmen are influenced, subscribing to a gentlemanly demeanor. Therefore, even burly men wear suits to appear polite and courteous.

A sharp light flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes, "You think this few people can stop me?"

"A few people? We are all Innate Masters here, and not just ordinary Innate ones. We’re those nurtured under robust foundations, far stronger than average Innates by many times over."

The robust man in the suit smiled, "You’re just three people. Catching you is really as easy as anything."

"Moreover, this castle has been modified. The walls are extremely sturdy. Your escape routes have already been blocked; there’s no way you’re getting out."

A slight smile appeared on Xiao Zheng’s lips.

"Few dare to speak to me like this."

Long Qie and Titan’s eyes also turned cold, and with a booming sound, incredibly dense Gang Qi burst forth from their bodies, the bright light illuminating the entire hall as if it were plunged into daylight.

Both knew—the battle was about to begin!

To leave this ancient castle, they must break through the encirclement of these individuals.
