Challenging Tasks

The residence of Master Yan is a relatively simple villa located on the south side of the mountains by the lake, with a quiet and pleasant environment, truly a good place for cultivation and recuperation.

At this moment, Elder Yan was standing in the jungle by the lake, his thin figure with his back to Yan Feng. Yanfeng has more than once had the illusion that this body is fragile, but every intense pain reminds him of the perverted violence hidden in this body!

Yanfeng had been standing behind, staring, until Yan Lao Tou suddenly spoke, "Have you recovered from your injuries?" "

Yan Feng was stunned, awakened by Yan Bing's inquiry about his injuries, and coldly said, "I'm ready." "

The old man turned around, his face clearly much older, with a hint of a smile. He held a cane in his right hand, which looked like wood and iron. His cloudy old eyes stared at Yan Feng intently, as if trying to discover something. After a while, he slowly raised his left hand to signal Yan Feng to make a move.

Yanfeng didn't dare to be careless. He swung his arms, lowered his center of gravity, and decisively added a pair of simple yet sharp daggers in his hands. Then he used the swift wind step to approach Yan Lao from the side. In the approaching moment, it felt as if the opponent's body was like a phantom, the dagger pierced the air with a strike, and a faint sense of oppression came from behind.

Yan Feng's eyes flickered, his feet swiftly moving in the Ghost Shadow Step. In the moment when Yan Lao stopped, Yan Feng's figure followed closely behind him like a ghost.

With a sharp sound of a blade cutting through silk, the figure disappeared again. Without hesitation, Yanfeng tried to use his dagger to strike as before, only to find the ironwood cane turning mysteriously towards him.

A crisp sound of metal collision rang out.

Then there was a series of metal clashing sounds, no matter how hard Yanfeng tried, he couldn't touch the opponent's body again. Instead, his limbs were continuously tripped by the cane, as if he were bound hand and foot in a huge black hood.

Time passed by minute by minute, beads of sweat started to appear on Yanfeng's forehead, and his speed gradually slowed down. The old man Yan saw it, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his figure swayed.

At the next moment, Yanfeng's body came to a halt, his gaze trembling as it fell on the ironwood crutch pressed against his throat.

The old man Yan put away his crutch and said lukewarmly, "Your talent is indeed good, but it's a pity that you started practicing martial arts too late, so you can't fully unleash the potential of the Swift Wind Step. If it weren't for drinking the Snow Lotus Jade Dew and the influence of the 'Blood Poison,' I'm afraid your tendons and bones would have been completely reshaped. However, being able to combine the Swift Wind Step and Ghost Shadow Step of the Shadowless Technique, you are considered extremely talented. Perhaps in another ten years, you will be able to reach the level I am at now. Unfortunately, I am already old, my body is not as strong as before, and it won't be long before even someone without strength can kill me... "

At this point, Old Yan sighed deeply, slowly reached into his chest with his left hand, took out a jade bottle and threw it to Yan Feng, as if giving final instructions to his disciple: "This Bone Strengthening Pill can help make up for the deficiency in your tendons and bones. Take one pill every three days, and combine it with the Primordial Qi technique to catalyze your tendons and bones. With your talent, you can explore a different path in the Shadowless Technique. "

With the eccentric style of the old man Yan, Yanfeng didn't believe he would be so kind to him. He was famous for being stingy, not only being tight-fisted but also sticking to it. Moreover, there are not only a thousand but also eight hundred experts in the Dark Fire organization, and there are six people including those he personally cultivated, himself, and Yan Bing. In addition, the other four, Yan Jue, Yan Xue, Yan Gui, and Yan Mie, are all exceptionally talented, and he is just a special chess piece.

Yanfeng looked at the jade bottle in his hand and asked solemnly, "What is the mission this time?" "

Eliminate Jin Yuanjun of the Golden Glory Group. If you complete the task, our 'agreement' will be considered fulfilled. Yan Lao's voice was calm, but it hit Yan Feng's chest like a heavy stone.

Both JinHui Group and Yangshi Group are energy giants in China. Jin Yuanjun, the current chairman of JinHui Group, has full control over all the affairs of JinHui Group. Unlike the Yang Group, the Jinhui Group is involved in multiple economic sectors. It was reported that they invested a significant amount of money in the online game "Eden" from the beginning. The energy industry is just one of the most powerful parts of their business. Jinyuanjun, the leader of the group, is decisive and domineering, even resorting to strong-arm tactics to suppress competitors. They have made enemies in the business world and maintained a tough stance relying on government relations. Additionally, they have organized a powerful armed guard in secret.

Yanfeng, as the heir of the Yang Group, also has some understanding of the Jinhui Group. He expected this task to be challenging, but he didn't anticipate it to be this difficult. In his impression, every task assigned to him was within his capabilities, and Master Yan would never do something without confidence.

This task doesn't seem like a commission from the organization. Could it be that there is some grudge between Elder Yan and General Jinyuan? Although there are many enemies of the Jin Yuan army, they are limited to the business world. There is no mention of any surnamed 'Yan' in those groups or companies. Knowing that I could not assassinate Jin Yuanhui, he still used the 'agreement' as a bargaining chip... Yan Feng's mind was tangled with various thoughts flashing through his mind. He asked somewhat puzzled, "To kill the Jin army, Yan Jue and the others have a better chance, why choose me?" "

The old man Yan squinted at Yan Feng, his eyes full of wisdom, with a mysterious smile on his face: "You are right. In terms of strength, Yan Jue, Yan Xue, Yan Gui, and Yan Mie are all much stronger than you, but there is one thing they are far inferior to you." You are a smart person, sometimes killing doesn't necessarily have to be done personally... "

Yanfeng was taken aback, then understood: "Deadline?" "

Two years. "

At this moment, a waiter walked over from behind Yanfeng and presented the small gray package in his hands to Yanfeng.

There are some things that I can't tell you right now. I believe you will come to know them on your own in the future. When necessary, I will ask Bing and the others to help you. Take these things and go back to the southern capital. "

Nandu City, the birthplace of Yanfeng, is an underwater colony built in 2042, located in the central South China Sea. It is currently the largest of the 26 ocean cities in Asia, consisting of 21 large and small urban areas, hence earning the title of "Nandu".

Half a century ago, people may not have imagined that many things that originally only existed in science fiction would now be created in reality. Floating ocean colonies or seabed-based marine colonies with varying degrees of artificial intelligence, anti-gravity vehicles with low energy consumption, universal medicine capable of treating cancer, AIDS, any virus, and extending lifespan, energy protection shields based on high-end force field principles, research bases for rare lunar materials, interstellar travel... Since the birth of the global network intelligence entity "Milo" in the mid-21st century, the development speed of scientific power has completely surpassed human control.

This old fox has tricked us again. In two years, if Yan Feng inherits the Yang Group, he will be able to suppress the Jin Hui Group with his influence in energy development. The success or failure of the task is directly linked to one's fate. The old man Yan chose not only based on his strength and intelligence, but also on his identity as the heir!

Yanfeng: "Where is the reliever?" "

Yan Lao Tou: "Blood poison is a double-edged sword. Although the poison outbreak is very painful, the impact on your physique will be even greater." The reason why the four of them have their current strength is largely due to the influence of blood poison, with Yan Jue enduring the longest, lasting for nearly a month. With your current physical condition, you should be able to suppress the boiling blood on your own. "

Yanfeng nodded, then took the gray package and left the dense forest.

Let's start with "Paradise Lost"... "
