Chapter 269: Chapter 268: The Unkillable Opponent (Please Subscribe)
Upon hearing Chen Fan’s voice,
Gao Jinming was almost scared enough to fall to the ground.
He wasn’t even a match for Fang Yun or Ma Sheng, who were both dead earlier.
Let alone someone who could kill Yan Ming. Going up against him would be like smashing an egg against a rock.
So, there were only two options in front of him,
One was to run!
Run as far as he could.
Indeed, the person in front of him might have perception items,
but no matter how powerful he was, he couldn’t sense things miles away, could he?
As long as he could escape, everything would be fine later.
This plan seemed like the best option, but after careful consideration,
Gao Jinming decided to choose the second option.
"Brother Du."
He looked at Du Hao beside him with a pleading gaze.
This man was a confidant of Jiulong City Lord. It was said that in his early years, he had risked his life countless times to save the lord,
and later developed a small village of just a hundred people into today’s Jiulong City.
Therefore, although Du Hao’s strength was middle-tier in Jiulong City, he was always deeply trusted by the City Lord,
even those B-level Awakened treated him with great respect when they saw him.
"Clap, clap, clap."
Du Hao clapped his hands and laughed, "Indeed impressive. I didn’t expect even Yan Ming would end up dead at your hands. No wonder you came here alone with such confidence."
Chen Fan frowned slightly.
The reaction of the man in front of him was somewhat unexpected.
After all, the normal response should be similar to the person next to him,
Did he have some kind of trump card up his sleeve?
Seeing this, Du Hao’s smile grew broader,
"With just True Essence Realm’s power, you managed to kill four C-level Awakened in one go. And looking at you now, you still have excess power. Not simple, indeed. Well, are you interested in working under me?"
"Work under you?"
Chen Fan asked suspiciously, "These people were calling you brother just a while ago, and I killed them. Don’t you feel angry at all?"
"Outmatched in skills, what’s there to complain about."
Du Hao sighed lightly, "Besides, I think there must have been some grievance between you and them. This is your issue, I can’t interfere."
"Oh, really?"
Chen Fan laughed, "But I clearly remember you asking that guy if he needed your help earlier."
Du Hao’s face darkened, "Friend, I said those things out of goodwill. Bringing up the past is meaningless. Besides, do you really think you can kill me?"
"How would I know without trying?"
A cold glint flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.
"Hahahaha, such arrogance! Do you know who I am?"
Du Hao laughed twice, then spoke in a cold tone.
"Friend, have you heard of Jiulong City?"
Gao Jinming chimed in timely, "This man is the savior of Jiulong City Lord. If you kill him here, the consequences will be much more severe than killing Yan Ming and those few. You must not act rashly."
"Jiulong City?"
Chen Fan frowned slightly,
He had some impression of it,
It seemed to be an intermediate city with a population of hundreds of thousands,
With several B-level Awakened holding the fort, and quite a few Martial Artists among them.
"Yes, that’s right."
Gao Jinming breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Rest assured, what happened here today will be regarded as if it never happened. No one will seek revenge afterward, and I think you should consider Brother Du’s offer. With your skills, joining Jiulong City, you would certainly shine."
"Oh really? What if I insist on making a move?"
Chen Fan spoke coldly.
"!"
Gao Jinming was stunned immediately.
He had already made things so clear.
This guy still wanted to make a move?
Was he not afraid of bringing disaster upon himself?
"Such audacity, do you know what my superpower is?"
Du Hao sneered.
"What, no matter how powerful your superpower is, can it be stronger than the ones I just killed?"
Chen Fan sneered, secretly activating Celestial Response.
One, to prevent the opponent from using instant teleportation items to escape,
Two, to observe for any changes in the opponent’s aura,
In fact, there were none.
"In battle, I may not be their match, but in preserving my life, my superpower far exceeds your imagination."
Du Hao placed his hands behind his back and looked at Chen Fan arrogantly, "Do you think the person in front of you is the real me?"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Fan asked instinctively, "Could it be that the current you is fake?"
"You can understand it that way."
Du Hao smiled smugly, "The person standing before you and talking right now is just a clone. You understand what a clone is, right?"
"Clone..."
Chen Fan’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing this.
"Yes."
Du Hao’s face showed even more pride, "I told you before, even if you kill the current me, it’s useless because you can’t kill the real me. And if you actually do so,"
a cold smile appeared on his lips,
"you will face the wrath of Jiulong City. Do you think, with your True Essence Realm, you can withstand how many B-level Awakened?"
The atmosphere fell silent.
"If what he said is true, then it’s indeed troublesome."
Chen Fan sighed inwardly,
He suddenly remembered Meng Xue’s previous words,
She mentioned that there would be significant trouble, and she must have been referring to this person.
It seemed that what he said was likely true,
B-level Awakened,
This level of existence,
was far more terrifying than C-level,
probably only one would be enough,
to sweep through the entire Anshan City,
"Understand now?"
Seeing Chen Fan’s pensive look, Du Hao nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Considering your notable strength, I’m giving you the chance to work for me. Rest assured, the benefits won’t be lacking."
"Yes, friend, it’s really a rare opportunity to get Brother Du’s admiration as a martial artist. Many martial artists in Jiulong City would give anything for this chance."
Gao Jinming smiled as well.
Du Hao’s superpower was cloning, which wasn’t a secret among the Awakened.
Several times, Du Hao had died miserably in front of people,
but each time, he appeared alive, almost scaring people to death,
Until he revealed that his superpower was cloning, everyone gradually understood.
It was said that his real body was in a very secure location, where ordinary people had no chance of entering.
"Really?"
Chen Fan’s lips curled slightly, "How do I know you’re not lying to me?"
"What do you want to do?"
Du Hao’s eyes flashed a trace of panic,
"I warn you, don’t act recklessly. If you lay a hand on me, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I won’t let you go!"
"Friend, don’t act recklessly!"
Gao Jinming was also panicked.
He shouted, "Brother Du’s superpower really is cloning! I’m not lying to you! If you don’t believe, you can check with anyone from our association!"
"You seemed a bit panicked just now?"
Chen Fan squinted his eyes.
"Panicked about what!"
Du Hao denied flatly, "My superpower isn’t a secret in the association. Even if you kill me here, it won’t affect me at all."
"Really?"
Chen Fan expressed doubt,
did losing a clone have no impact on the real body?
He didn’t believe it, that’s one,
second,
If he’s an enemy, how could he let him go?
Even if it’s a useless clone, letting him go isn’t an option!
"Since you said so, let me verify it firsthand."
As he finished, Chen Fan’s figure appeared instantly before Du Hao,
before the latter could react,
a blade pierced his chest,
As the tip touched the body,
a protective shield appeared,
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound,
the sturdy protective shield proved as fragile as paper,
the sharp dagger pierced Du Hao’s heart,
then was pulled out, blood spurted out.
"You! You!"
Du Hao finally reacted,
his expression twisted in pain,
his hands covering his heart,
trying to stop the blood,
but it was too late,
he could only stare at Chen Fan with an incredulous look,
Just a mere Martial Artist,
Even if he was in True Essence Realm so what?
An inferior, weak Martial Artist,
Where did he get the courage to disregard him?
Soon, his eyes were filled with venom,
bloodshot eyes fixated on Chen Fan,
as if trying to engrave his face in memory,
"I will find you."
He muttered, voice unclear,
then collapsed to the ground.
"So it really was a clone."
Chen Fan frowned,
Though he couldn’t hear clearly, the lip movements were clear,
This was indeed a troublesome superpower, theoretically speaking, if the real body couldn’t be found, the real Du Hao couldn’t be killed, leading to endless revenge.
Of course, there was one condition,
he had to know who you were, and find you.
He turned to Gao Jinming, said, "Your turn."
Gao Jinming was petrified, face pale as a sheet.
He never expected the man before him to be so audacious, even daring to kill Du Hao!
As for him, what else was there to say?
In the next moment, he used an instant teleportation item, appearing five kilometers away.
As long as the green hills last, there’s no fear of running out of firewood!
Once he reported this to the headquarters, naturally, hunters would come to eliminate this guy.
As soon as he reappeared,
a despairing black light cleaved toward him.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound,
the protective shield shattered, the dagger slashed through his head, blood spurting.
"How could it be?"
Gao Jinming stared wide-eyed.
He had already escaped so far,
how could his opponent find him instantly?
Why, on earth?
