Chapter 353: Chapter 352 Shadow Reappears
Li Zhongni’s office became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, eerily silent.
The thick smell of blood permeated the entire office, a sight that could make someone with a weaker mental fortitude vomit on the spot.
Li Xiaoji was in a state of shock, his legs trembling.
The two new bodyguards following him were even more frightened, staring at Yang Fei with utter shock. Sweat poured down their foreheads, and their backs were soaked with perspiration.
Fortunately, they hadn’t acted rashly before, or else their bodies would be cold by now.
Who exactly was this young man, and why was he so strong?
It should be known that those who had ambushed in Li Zhongni’s office were real Martial Arts masters, known figures in Korea’s Martial Arts world, one of them even close to Unique Tier combat power.
Facing such a combination of forces, this young man dispatched them with the ease of chopping vegetables, securing a penta-kill in fewer than ten breaths’ time. Wasn’t that excessively powerful?
Li Zhongni himself was so shocked by the power Yang Fei displayed that his mouth hung open, but he quickly calmed down, his gaze complicated as he stared at Yang Fei and said, "Kid, you are indeed very strong, but do you think that the tycoon’s strength is only this much?"
Yang Fei said with a smile, "I know the real masters haven’t come out yet, but if you don’t let them come out now, you are going to die, aren’t you?"
Li Zhongni’s pupils shrank, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.
The cigarette Yang Fei had been holding in his mouth was only finished at this moment.
He exhaled toward Li Zhongni, and with a swoosh, the cigarette butt flew directly at Li Zhongni’s forehead like a deadly dart.
Li Zhongni was horrified. As a privileged son of the tycoon’s family, he had been in contact with Martial Arts masters from a young age and had good physical conditioning, considered a Martial Artist. However, his talent was limited, only at the Early Stage of Inner Strength.
Facing the cigarette butt that Yang Fei exhaled, he quickly made a dodging motion, but the butt grazed his scalp, leaving a bloody groove in the back of his head before hitting the wall with a thud.
The white wall was immediately indented, the cigarette butt embedded in it, with a smear of blood beside the hole.
"Pfft!"
Right when Yang Fei spat out the cigarette butt at Li Zhongni, a shocking whooshing sound of something tearing through the air reached his ears.
A sniper had opened fire.
Yang Fei, his realm and combat power having long recovered to more than ninety percent of his peak state, had unparalleled strength in capturing and perceiving danger. The instant the sniper fired at him, his body moved like a ghost to dodge.
"Boom!"
The bullet passed through the afterimage left by Yang Fei, piercing through the wall opposite.
Bang bang!
At the same time, several explosive sounds erupted, as the ceiling above Yang Fei collapsed thunderously and the wall behind him was also knocked down by dark figures.
Three powerful auras locked onto Yang Fei from different directions at the same time.
Yang Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although he had felt the dangerous aura lurking nearby before, the appearance of these three still surprised him slightly.
They were all at the level of the Innate Realm.
As he was taken aback, Yang Fei swung his blade at the person above him.
The man also had a blade in his hand. The two blades instantly met, the man let out a muffled grunt as he was sent flying by Yang Fei’s strike, and upon landing, his gaze turned to the steel blade, which now bore a deep groove.
This blade had been forged from fine iron; it was a finely made weapon, sharp and unmatched. Yet, it was notched by an ordinary steel blade in the hands of the young man before him, the True Qi in that strike was too profound and dominant.
After sending one man flying with a single strike, Yang Fei swiftly moved to face the other two.
In an instant, Gang Wind raged within the office, violent Qi rampaged all around, and Li Zhongni was blown away. Li Xiaoji, under the protection of his two bodyguards, also retreated quickly.
Yang Fei battled against three opponents without falling behind, and in fact, became more ferocious as the fight went on.
After probing and finding that the strength of these three were similar to the Early Stage of the Innate Realm, Yang Fei no longer showed mercy. The three masters could only withstand four or five moves before one of them had his chest split open by Yang Fei’s blade.
The other two were shocked and retreated rapidly.
One of them, with a grave expression, stared at Yang Fei and said, "You...your strength is so formidable?"
Yang Fei wasted no words, rushing forward to bring his blade down in a strike.
The man’s heart went cold with fear and wanted to flee, but Yang Fei’s speed was too fast, and given the confined space, an attempted escape would only lead to falling prey to Yang Fei’s relentless attacks.
Having no other choice, the man gritted his teeth and swung his sword with all his True Qi.
"Clang!"
Sparks flew as the sword and saber collided and the sword was chopped in half.
Although a significant notch appeared on Yang Fei’s steel saber, the blade still bore down fiercely, cleaving into the man’s neck.
"Pfft!"
Blood splattered as the man’s upper body was severed.
Of the three surprise attackers, only one remained.
This person looked to be in his fifties, with a goatee and tiny eyes. At this moment, he stared at Yang Fei, his face full of horror, as he kept retreating, looking for an opportunity to escape.
It was too terrifying!
What was the intelligence department doing, claiming that this kid was just at the early stage of the Innate Realm?
The three of them had joined forces to attack, but he had easily killed them in turn. This kid’s power far exceeded the Innate Realm.
"You... Just what realm are you in?" The goatee, small-eyed assassin stared at Yang Fei with some reluctance and asked.
Upon hearing this, Yang Fei chuckled and said, "About the same as yours, I guess."
The man’s nose tingled, and he was close to tears.
Is this not an insult?
If he was about the same realm as himself, why was there such a huge disparity in their combat abilities?
But Yang Fei didn’t rush to take action; instead, he looked at the man and said, "Answer me one question, and I might consider not killing you."
The man’s spirits lifted when he heard this and looked at Yang Fei with a mixture of hope and skepticism, "Really?"
"Either you trust me, or you die," Yang Fei replied indifferently.
"Ask," the man made his decision quickly.
"Who are you people? Looking at the way you attacked just now, it seemed like you had some skills in Combined Attack Technique. If it weren’t for me, it is true that a typical martial artist of the Innate Realm would have a hard time escaping from your clutches," said Yang Fei.
The man took a deep breath and said, "We come from the Shadow Organization, the Heavenly-ranked assassins of Shadow."
"Shadow Organization?" Yang Fei was slightly taken aback.
He had heard of this organization but hadn’t expected them to come after him.
"Hired by the Li Family’s Financial Group?" Yang Fei asked.
The man glanced at Li Zhongni, who was shivering under a distant table, nodded, and said, "Yes, hired by someone."
Yang Fei asked, "Are the higher-ups of the Shadow Organization in cahoots with the Zhang Family?"
The man’s expression changed, and he stammered, "That... I’m not sure."
"Are you unsure, unwilling to say, or scared to say?" Yang Fei asked with a smile.
The man looked helpless and swallowed before saying, "You said you had one question, and this is your third."
"There’s another one over there who’s not dead yet; I can ask him," Yang Fei said coldly.
The man immediately felt a chill down his spine. His thoughts raced, and he quickly made a decision, saying urgently, "I indeed have seen Zhang Wenfeng in the organization... He is one of the organization’s elders."
"Elders?" Yang Fei was startled.
In his view, a strong martial artist like Zhang Wenfeng ought to be a leader in the Shadow Organization. He hadn’t expected him to be merely one of the elders.
If he was an elder, then there were multiple people at that level.
Zhang Wenfeng was just one of many elders, which suggested that the Shadow Organization was no simple matter.
What’s key is that the organization could mobilize three assassins with Innate Realm capabilities so casually; this level of power was highly abnormal.
Initially, Yang Fei hadn’t taken the Shadow Organization too seriously, but now, he was deeply concerned and greatly interested.
"Where is the main branch of the Shadow Organization?" Yang Fei asked.
