Chapter 385: 385 Who gave you the courage? [1 more] Chapter 385: 385 Who gave you the courage? [1 more] His smile was clear as water, ethereal as clouds in the sky, seemingly harmless.
The young man was even dressed in light white ho clothing as he pushed the door open and walked into the living room, like a child new to the world.
At least, to the two Extre Path mbers, this man not on their assassination list seed easily killable with a simple move.
However—
“Bang!”
Cold Blade exploded into nothingness just as it was about to touch Yan Tingfeng.
Then it turned into powder and scattered all over the floor.
This scene, let alone the two Extre Path mbers, even Fang Qingli and Jiang Xulin, who knew Yan Tingfeng, were shocked into stillness.
What kind of ability could turn tal into dust?
Yan Tingfeng still stood there, unmoved, his aura as mild as a spring breeze.
But the faces of the two Extre Path mbers were filled only with fear.
Run!
That was the only thought left in their minds at that mont.
What terrified them further was that this seemingly harmless man seed to possess imnse magical power. The mont they saw his eyes, their bodies couldn’t move.
Yan Tingfeng finally spoke leisurely, “Although guests are to be welcod, arriving uninvited is not proper etiquette.”
He said this with a mild smile, his beautiful phoenix eyes curving slightly.
No one saw how he made his move.
He just stood quietly in place, and the two Extre Path mbers, as if grievously injured, fell to the ground with a “thump.”
The wind passed by, carrying away all sound.
Fang Qingli: “…”
Jiang Xulin: “…”
Zhou Yixiang: “…”
The worldviews and life philosophies of the three were greatly shocked. They stood frozen in place, speechless at what had unfolded.
“They’re scared,” Ye Wanlan stepped forward two steps, “but I quite like it.”
Hearing this, Yan Tingfeng gently blinked, “Sorry, seeing such a scene before a al can indeed be quite nauseating.”
Hearing this remark, Fang Qingli was a bit dumbfounded.
Is nausea the main point here?!
“Ice River, Iron Horse, clean this up,” Yan Tingfeng rolled up his sleeves and said calmly, “Let’s not scare the hotel staff.”
Ice River and Iron Horse said in unison, “Yes!”
After the instructions, Yan Tingfeng turned back and smiled again, “Let’s go, let’s eat.”
“Iron Iron, sothing’s not right,” Ice River muttered while cleaning up, “Why would Extre Path mbers suddenly co to assassinate Miss Ye?”
Iron Horse expressionlessly replied, “The Extre Path mbers number in the six figures; not everyone is involved in handling the sa missions.”
“That still doesn’t make it okay,” Ice River was angry, “I’m going to give them a call and ask what’s going on.”

anwhile, at the Global Center, inside a fashionable skyscraper.
Inside, an ergency eting was being held.
“This ti, having sent Extre Path mbers, it should be foolproof, right?”
“Extre Path mbers are always ruthless; since they’ve taken the mission, they will certainly succeed.”
Previously, when rcenaries were hired and subsequently defeated by Extre Path, the bounty task was directly handed over to them. This way, who could possibly save the top executives of Pulling the Sky Company?
Moreover, they increased the bounty, specifically requesting superpowers to undertake this mission.
Ordinary people eting superhumans would not even know how they died.
“Just wait for the good news by tomorrow morning,” the middle-aged man showed a smile, “I haven’t slept well these past three days.”
Watching Pulling the Sky Company expand into the international market, encroaching on their brand’s living space is one thing.
Most importantly, they couldn’t tolerate the resurgence of Shenzhou culture and its acceptance by the world.
If there ever was a day when Shenzhou regained the splendor of three hundred years ago, overshadowing the Global Center, where would they stand?
Thus, the Pulling the Sky Company must absolutely be destroyed!
It’s just unfortunate that the founder of Pulling the Sky didn’t accompany them to the Global Center.
But first eliminating Jiang Xulin and other key mbers would severely weaken the Pulling the Sky Company.
The next tasks would then be much easier.
At that mont, an elder spoke, “I don’t know if you’ve heard a little rumor, but that person has returned.”
At this statent, everyone was startled.
Soone blurted out, “That person? The Jidao Leader?!”
“Correct.” The elder nodded slowly, “The Global Center has had no news of him for at least three years, but every ti there’s news of him, a bloody storm follows.”
This understandably caused anxiety.
It’s unknown what kind of disaster this reappearance of the Jidao Leader would bring.

Late at night, at Extre Path Headquarters.
Extre Path had eighteen Lords and two protectors, left and right.
Each Lord had nurous Extre Path squads under their command, with countless mbers.
Today, all Lords had been summoned back to the headquarters, which made their hearts tense.
They had heard of the leader’s return two days ago, but only the left and right protectors had been summoned to see him.
Upon entering the headquarters, the Lords found an additional figure on the usually empty throne.
The man had a tall and robust stature with a firm waist, wearing a black mask, obscuring his face.
By his side stood the Extre Path Organization left and right protectors.
The two protectors also wore masks, not revealing their true faces.
But this did not an soone dared to impersonate them.
In the past, soone had tried to impersonate the Jidao Leader and the protectors, but without an equivalent strength, they were instantly exposed.
Yan Tingfeng’s elbow rested on his chin as he quietly leaned on the chair, not speaking.
To the others, he seed to be napping peacefully.
The Lords began to breathe more quietly, their expressions growing tense.
Today was the first ti they were seeing the Jidao Leader, and they hadn’t expected such a young man.
But age could not be estimated by appearance alone—after all, the number of superhumans at the Global Center far exceeded any other part of the world.
Healers could use drugs to alter the rate of cell division, and Gu Masters could maintain youth through Gu.
But either way, these proved that the Jidao Leader’s strength was not sothing they could compare with.
Since the founding of Extre Path, there hadn’t been a lack of internal strife, but in the end, the fate of any rebel was nothing but death.
However, these past two years, this Jidao Leader had rarely appeared, and new mbers joining the Extre Path grew, along with those harboring dissension.
Yet, many dissenting hearts disappeared upon their actual encounter with the Jidao Leader.
They didn’t dare.
Even though this seemingly young man displayed no martial strength, rely sitting there, he felt like a king without a crown, instilling fear in those around.
“Summons tonight signifies a very important matter,” the Right Protector spoke, breaking the expectant and tense silence, “Who was responsible for selecting this task?”
He lifted his right wrist, pressing a button on his watch, and a holographic projection appeared before everyone.
It was the bounty task to kill the high-level mbers of Pulling the Sky, with a reward amount of 10 billion.
This amount was high among many bounties, and the task seed simple enough to tempt many.
However, although Extre Path took bounty tasks, they were always filtered through the Lords before entering the mission center.
“Definitely not ; I’ve been on vacation these past two days.”
“It wasn’t either! I’ve been entangled with an arms organization and haven’t had ti to deal with such matters.”
“I swear it wasn’t , I was on an ergency external mission yesterday and just ca back by plane today, rushing straight to the eting.”
Several Lords chattered, all denying any involvent in the assassination of Pulling the Sky’s top personnel.
Yan Tingfeng finally opened his eyes, smiling warmly and speaking, “Bringing such significant funds to Extre Path is comndable.”
Following his words, a middle-aged man stepped forward, struggling to conceal his joy and excitent, “Reporting to the great leader, I was the one who filtered this mission.”
Yan Tingfeng didn’t reply, glancing at the Right Protector.
The Right Protector understood: “The investigation also confirms that he was indeed the one who filtered it; he’s not lying.”
“I like people who tell the truth,” Yan Tingfeng chuckled, “You spoke the truth, proving you had no intention to deceive .”
The middle-aged man paused, then quickly affird his loyalty, “Subordinate would never deceive the leader; choosing this mission, I did it for the good of Extre Path.”
The other Lords looked at him with envy in their gazes.
The middle-aged man straightened his chest.
eting the leader for the first ti, he had established such a major achievent, surely he would receive more resources.
Yan Tingfeng smiled faintly, “Very good.”
