Chapter 230: Chapter 228: Huang Quan Takes Action Sakura had fallen completely into despair, and that kind of fear could simply not be dispelled from her heart. Even though Sakura had successfully fled from the mountain, she still felt the killing intent emitted by Ye Feng enveloping her heart, and she tried hard to forget, but she simply couldn’t. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed, and during these three days, Ye Feng, Zheng Yonggang, and Zhao Ziming hadn’t gone anywhere; they had been cultivating in Zheng Yonggang’s villa the entire time. Zheng Yonggang and Zhao Ziming had not let Ye Feng down, and in just one evening, Zheng Yonggang had successfully advanced from the Great Perfection of Inner Strength to the initial stage of Innate, transforming all the Inner Strength in his body into True Essence. At this moment, Zheng Yonggang had become a genuine Grandmaster, his strength increasing by several times compared to before. Zhao Ziming, too, had successfully broken through to the later stage of External Force. It’s known that for a normal Martial Artist, advancing to the early stage of Inner Strength would require months, even for a genius. But Zhao Ziming had obtained Ye Feng’s Spiritual Liquid, and after absorbing the power of the Spiritual Liquid, coupled with Zhao Ziming’s inherent Martial Arts talent which was quite impressive, he had successfully advanced to the later stage of External Force. At this point, Zhao Ziming could face a dozen adult men without fear. Of course, Zhao Ziming knew that this wasn’t enough. If he were to encounter Han Yu again, any random bodyguard by Han Yu’s side could easily kill him. Meanwhile, Ye Feng was frantically absorbing Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid. Nearly ninety percent of the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Liquid in front of Ye Feng had been consumed, and he was just a bit shy of restoring his cultivation to the Legendary realm. Ye Feng was now as close to reaching the Legendary realm as one is to a thin tissue—you could effortlessly break through just by touching it. In the Wan Family of Lin Tian City, Wan Shanhai’s face was extremely unsightly, and he loudly rebuked Wan Tianhua, "Wan Tianhua, how on earth do you handle things? Didn’t you say that Ye Feng would soon be killed? It’s already been three days, and Ye Feng is still alive and well. He hasn’t died at all!" Wan Tianhua, with an embarrassed face, looked guiltily at Wan Shanhai: "I will ask the people from Sky Stab what exactly happened!" Sky Stab was one of the top five assassin organizations in the world, and their leader was a Legendary figure. They couldn’t believe that even someone like Ye Feng couldn’t be handled by Sky Stab. At Sky Stab’s Dragon Country division, within that iron factory, a cold-faced young man walked into the general manager’s office and said to the division leader, "Sir, Sakura has returned!" "Hmph! Returned? She dares to come back after disappearing for three days? Now, bring her to me immediately!" commanded Huang Quan, the leader of the Dragon Country division. "Yes, sir!" said the cold-faced young man, and soon he brought a woman with him. Upon seeing the woman, Huang Quan frowned and asked in displeasure, "What’s going on? Where is Sakura?" "Lord Huang Quan, I am Sakura..." the woman said slowly, looking at Huang Quan. "You are Sakura!" Huang Quan was startled, and after a closer look, indeed, she almost exactly resembled the Sakura he knew, and he was utterly shocked: "How is this possible!" This Sakura looked entirely different from the one Huang Quan knew. Although Sakura was already forty-five years old, being a Grandmaster, she maintained herself very well and looked like a woman in her early twenties. But the person standing before him now had white hair, her face was covered in wrinkles, a lot of hair had fallen out, and it was clear that she was balding on the top of her head, appearing extremely haggard. She looked like a sick woman in her fifties or sixties, a stark change from the Sakura of before. Huang Quan, unable to believe it, looked at Sakura: "You? Are you really Sakura?" Sakura nodded, her expression full of despair: "Yes, it’s me." Sakura deeply regretted provoking Ye Feng. Ever since she had been intimidated by Ye Feng’s killing intent that day, the fear she felt for Ye Feng had not faded from the depths of her heart and continuously loomed over her. Sakura hadn’t closed her eyes for three days, constantly tormented by fear, rapidly withering and aging. In just three days, she had transformed into this state. "Assassination failed?" Huang Quan asked Sakura. You must understand, the failure of an assassination by an assassin meant only death awaited. The reason Huang Quan hadn’t yet acted against Sakura was to understand if the person who had turned Sakura into this state was Ye Feng. Sakura shook her head, "It’s not exactly a failure. I didn’t even carry out the assassination, and Ye Feng didn’t notice my presence." "Oh?" Huang Quan knew the words held no lies. Since Sakura had not attempted the assassination and Ye Feng had not discovered her, it meant that Sakura’s mission had not yet failed, so there was no need to kill her. In utter despair, Sakura said, "Leader, perhaps we should cancel this task. Ye Feng is terrifying. I merely... I merely felt his aura, his killing intent at the foot of the mountain, and I didn’t dare to proceed further. I didn’t even have the courage to fight, and the fear Ye Feng instilled in me is still lingering in my heart, unable to dissipate!" "Damnation!" In an instant, Huang Quan became furious, and his hand moved, and True Essence flew. *Puchi~~,* fresh blood spurted as Huang Quan’s True Essence transformed into a blade and swiftly made its mark. Blood streamed from Sakura’s neck as she felt her life force rapidly draining away. However, Sakura felt no regret but rather relief, knowing that she was ultimately going to die. In death, there would be no thoughts, no fear, as if she was being liberated. *Plop~~,* Sakura fell to the ground and died a peaceful death. At that moment, the cold-faced man looked at Sakura’s body, frowning as he asked, "Lord Huang Quan, what should we do now? The employer is already furious. If we don’t deal with Ye Feng soon, our reputation at Sky Stab might greatly suffer." "It seems I need to handle this personally!" As the words fell, *Puchi~~,* Huang Quan’s body bizarrely split in half.
