"Chen Fan, it’s me."
On the other end of the phone, Meng Xue’s weak voice sounded.
"Are you alright?"
Chen Fan asked anxiously.
"It’s just that using my ability just now made me a bit weak, you don’t need to worry about it."
Meng Xue coughed twice.
"Sister."
Beside her, Meng Yu’s worried voice came through.
"It’s okay."
Meng Xue’s voice came through, "Chen Fan, Du Hao and his men are coming. In two hours, they will enter Anshan City, you must not let them into the city."
"Oh?"
Chen Fan’s expression changed, "Why?"
"This time, there are four of them. Leading them is Du Hao, which I’m sure I don’t need to elaborate further.
Two of them are B-level Awakened. The one dressed in white has the Thunder superpower. His moves are extremely powerful, you must be careful. It’s best to kill him first, so he doesn’t have a chance to strike. The other one, dressed in blue, is also someone you need to be wary of because, compared to the Thunder Awakened, his superpower is even more troublesome."
"What’s his superpower?"
"Phantom."
Meng Xue stated directly: "He can make his body become intangible, unable to be hit. So your saber technique might work on others, but not necessarily on him.
If you want to kill him, you must strike at the moment he attacks you, because at that moment, his body transitions from phantom to solid."
"I see."
Chen Fan nodded.
If Meng Xue hadn’t reminded him, he might really have slashed directly, only to have it easily deflected, wasting tens of thousands of True Qi.
However, from what Meng Xue said, that guy seems to only be immune to physical attacks, right?
If he’s in phantom state and got hit by my Spirit Secret Techniques, he should die, right?
"Meng Xue, I remember you said there are four of them. Who’s the fourth one?"
"The fourth one, dressed in black, and physically the weakest, he is only a C-level Awakened. His combat power is average, but among the four, he poses the greatest threat to you."
Meng Xue coughed violently twice.
"His superpower is tracking. He can track the owner of a scent left at the scene. Your disguise might fool others, but not him.
In my perception yesterday, you went hunting early this morning. Du Hao successfully led his men into Anshan City. They arrived at the site of the battle from two days ago. That man used his superpower and found traces of you at the Martial Arts Association and the Awakened Association."
Chen Fan was startled upon hearing this, quickly asking, "What happened then?"
"They went to the Martial Arts Association, called everyone out, and couldn’t find your trace, so they started interrogating people there. Your friends, to keep your secret, were mostly killed. The remaining ones couldn’t withstand the torture and had to reveal your whereabouts. Beyond that, I don’t know because my spiritual power could only do so much yesterday."
"Today, I used my superpower again to see the outcome of your fight with them. But a warning struck my heart, and my intuition told me that continuing would drain my life force. So I could only check their superpowers and tell you what I found. I’m really sorry, Chen Fan. This is the best I can do."
After speaking, Meng Xue coughed twice more.
"No, Meng Xue, you’ve done more than enough."
Chen Fan hurriedly said, "You’ve told me the most important information, isn’t that enough? Rest assured, I won’t let those people into the city. Also, tomorrow, I’ll get the Celestial God Fruit for you. Just hold on one more day."
"Thank you, Chen Fan."
Meng Xue was a little stunned and said softly.
"It’s nothing, take good care of yourself."
"Okay."
Meng Xue nodded and after Chen Fan hung up, she put down her phone.
"Sister, drink some water."
Meng Yu carefully handed over a bowl of water.
Meng Xue took a couple of sips, waved her hand, and smiled, "Don’t worry, I’m fine."
"Sister, you’ve been looking more and more haggard these days."
Meng Yu’s eyes reddened.
"Don’t worry, sister will be fine. Once Chen Fan brings back the Celestial God Fruit tomorrow, everything will be okay."
Meng Xue reached out her withered hand, touching her sister’s face.
Her gaze turned to the doorway.
They were two B-level Awakened. Could Chen Fan win?
No, he must win.
Chen Fan hung up the phone, lost in thought.
Meng Xue’s advice was good. B-level Awakened shouldn’t be underestimated, especially those with the Thunder superpower. After all, one of the three S-Class Awakened in Yan Country controls Thunder.
Currently, his True Essence was at 2700 points, equivalent to 270,000 True Qi, allowing him to use the fifth strike of Windward Slash, multiplying the saber technique’s power fifty times.
But he could only strike once.
If this strike hit the guy who could phantomize, it would be a waste.
As for the one with the phantom ability, he felt it wouldn’t be too hard to handle, as long as he used his Spirit Secret Techniques.
The problem was Du Hao.
The more techniques he used, the more he revealed, making it easier for the enemy to guess his identity.
"This Du character is really troublesome."
Chen Fan clenched his fist.
If he didn’t kill the real Du Hao, he’d never be able to kill him for good.
Even if he killed his clone and his men this time, next time, Du Hao would bring stronger people.
Persistent as a leech, even if it doesn’t bite, it’s irritating.
"I must find a way to resolve this trouble."
Chen Fan said, walking towards the door.
Since the enemy was arriving in just over an hour.
He would intercept them halfway and think of a plan.
Meanwhile, in Jiulong City.
In a lavish hall, a round table was set, filled with gourmet food, resembling a feast rather than breakfast.
A few figures gathered around the table, all with smiles on their faces.
"Brother Du, this is my good friend, Ye Cheng." In a white outfit, Zou Xuan pointed to a spirited-looking man beside him, "Brother Ye, this is Brother Du I spoke of."
"I’ve long heard of Brother Du’s name, famous far and wide. It’s an honor to finally meet you."
Ye Cheng clasped his hands and smiled.
"Hahaha."
Du Hao laughed twice, "Brother Ye is too kind. Whatever name I have, it’s thanks to the brothers in the city giving me face."
"Brother Du is too modest."
"Not at all."
"Alright, if we keep this up, the day might end with us still seated here."
Zou Xuan said helplessly.
"True, let’s eat and chat."
Du Hao gestured.
"Well, let’s not be polite then."
The other three exchanged smiles.
As expected of Brother Du, even breakfast was this extravagant.
After eating most of the food, Du Hao wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at Ye Cheng, "Brother Ye, once we reach Anshan City, we rely on you. That guy has caused me so much trouble, you have to find him for me."
"Rest assured, Brother Du."
Ye Cheng smiled, "Before coming, Brother Zou already informed me. Whether it’s been two or three days or even ten to fifteen, I can track his scent. Even if he runs to the ends of the earth, finding him is just a matter of time."
"Good!"
Du Hao was delighted, "Brother Ye, if you help me find him, I’ll fulfill any request you have."
Ye Cheng’s eyes lit up, quickly saying, "Brother Du is too kind. It’s just a small effort."
Du Hao nodded with a smile, then turned to Zou Xuan and the other, "Once we find him, I’ll rely on you both for the aftermath."
"Brother Du, don’t worry. Though his body strength isn’t low and he can withstand Gravity Cannon attacks, he’s still just a C-level Awakened. His superpower is no match for my Thunderbolt."
Zou Xuan’s eyes showed disdain.
His Thunder superpower was Supreme Yang and Firm, extremely powerful, capable of penetrating a Commander-level Fierce Beast’s body at close range. Elite-level Fierce Beasts were mere fodder.
"Indeed, according to Brother Du, the saber technique he uses should be Windward Slash, an extremely profound technique. Its most powerful strike can allegedly sever a top Commander-level Fierce Beast from a hundred meters away."
"Brother Jiang is right. That is indeed Windward Slash. Judging by the size of the Sword Qi, he can only use the first strike, but he can do it twice."
Du Hao recalled, still somewhat shaken.
"Being able to perform the first strike twice is impressive."
Jiang Miao said, "This saber technique is unlike others, requiring high perception from the cultivator. Many in the association attempted to master it but failed, wasting much time. That he can use the first strike and do it twice is no simple feat, but..."
He changed his tone, showing arrogance, "Even if he could use the second, third, or even fifth strike, he couldn’t harm me."
"Good!"
Du Hao slapped the table, "Brother Jiang, impressive!"
Zou Xuan’s mouth twitched.
Thinking, you speak as if you could take it head-on, but you avoided it with your phantom ability.
Even so, he had to admit, against Jiang Miao’s phantom state, even he had no solution.
"Three of you."
Du Hao’s gaze swept across their faces, "Since that’s the case, let’s not delay and head to Anshan City immediately!"
