Deriving equation 9.5 relating to the path integral in Peskin and Schroeder

I have not encountered a great deal about the path integral but I am trying to learn it, I would like to derive by hand each step in Peskin and Schroeder however I am hitting a wall at equation $9.5$ …

If a photon takes all possible paths, does it travel faster than light?

To be more precise, it sounds like what you're describing is the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. Within this framework, every possible path between $A$ and $B$ contributes a complex nu …
