Chapter 347: Ability Clone

"Friend, you must have heard of Wuji City, right?" Qi Yuangu hurriedly spoke at the right moment, "This person is the savior of the Wuji City Lord. If you kill him here, the consequences will be far more severe than killing the likes of Yan Luo. You must absolutely not act impulsively."

"Wuji City?" Chen Fan frowned slightly, a faint impression forming in his mind.

He remembered it seemed to be an Intermediate-level city with a population of several hundred thousand, guarded by numerous B-Class Awakened, and the number of Martial Artists in the city was also quite considerable.

"That's right." Qi Yuangu breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, "Rest assured, we will treat today's events as if they never happened, and no one will come looking for you for revenge later. Moreover, I think you might want to consider what Brother Wei just said. With your abilities, if you could enter Wuji City, you would surely have great prospects."

"Is that so? What if I insist on taking action?" Chen Fan said coldly.

"!"

Qi Yuangu was stunned. He thought to himself that he had already spoken so plainly, yet this guy still intended to take action? Was he not afraid of bringing a fatal disaster upon himself?

"You've got some nerve. Do you know what my ability is?" Wei Xiong sneered.

"Why, no matter how powerful your ability is, could it be more powerful than the few people I killed earlier?"

Chen Fan gave a disdainful laugh, while secretly and quietly activating Heaven-Human Induction.

On one hand, it was to guard against the opponent using a teleportation item to escape; on the other hand, it was to see if there would be any abnormal changes in the opponent's aura. However, after some observation, he did not discover anything unusual.

"When it comes to fighting, I might not be their match, but when it comes to self-preservation, my ability is far beyond your imagination." Wei Xiong stood with his hands behind his back, eyeing Chen Fan askance, "Do you think the me you see before you is the real me?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Fan asked subconsciously, "Could it be that the one standing in front of me right now is not the real body?"

"You can understand it that way." Wei Xiong smiled triumphantly, "The one standing before you talking to you right now is merely one of my Clones. You should understand what a Clone means, right?"

"Clone..." Hearing this term, Chen Fan's brows furrowed even tighter.

"That's right." Wei Xiong's expression grew more triumphant, "I told you before, even if you kill the me before you, it will be of no use, because you simply cannot kill the real me. Furthermore, if you really do that,"

A cold sneer appeared on the corners of his mouth, "you will face the wrath of Wuji City. Do you think that, as a mere True Essence Realm Martial Artist, you can withstand the onslaught of so many B-Class Awakened?"

For a moment, the atmosphere suddenly went quiet.

"If what he says is true, then this is indeed somewhat troublesome." Chen Fan sighed inwardly.

He suddenly remembered what Ji Wanqing had said before; the trouble she mentioned that would be brought about must surely refer to this person, right?

Viewed in this light, what Wei Xiong said was highly likely to be true.

The strength of a B-Class Awakened was far greater than that of a C-Rank; perhaps just one of them arriving would be enough to raze the entire Yongan City to the ground.

"Understand now?" Seeing Chen Fan reveal a thoughtful expression, Wei Xiong nodded with satisfaction, "Considering your decent strength, I'll give you a chance to work for me. Don't worry, the benefits will certainly not be lacking for you."

"That's right, friend. For a Martial Artist like you to be appreciated by Brother Wei is a rare opportunity indeed. I don't know how many Martial Artists in Wuji City would break their heads just to get it." Qi Yuangu also chimed in.

Wei Xiong's ability being a Clone was no secret in the circle of Awakened.

Because there had been several times when Wei Xiong "died" in front of everyone, and the state of his death was extremely miserable, yet every time, he would appear alive and well again, almost scaring people out of their wits.

It was only after he publicly revealed his ability type was a Clone that everyone gradually understood.

It was said that his real body was hidden in an extremely Stealthy and safe place, which ordinary people had no way of entering.

"Is that so?" Chen Fan's mouth curled up slightly, "But how do I know if what you say is true or false? You aren't trying to swindle me, are you?"

"What do you want to do?" A flash of panic flickered deep in Wei Xiong's eyes, "I warn you, don't act rashly. Otherwise, if you dare to take action against me, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will never let you go!"

"Friend, absolutely do not be impulsive!" Qi Yuangu also panicked and shouted loudly: "Brother Wei's ability really is a Clone! I have not spoken a single word of falsehood! If you don't believe me, you can go to our Association and ask anyone, and you'll know!"

"You seemed a bit flustered just now?" Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, staring fixedly at Wei Xiong.

"What am I flustered about!" Wei Xiong denied it flatly, "My ability is not a secret in the Association to begin with. Even if you kill me here, it has no impact on me at all."

"Is that so?" Chen Fan was full of suspicion. If a Clone is gone, does it really have no impact on the real body? That is the first point.

Secondly, since they are enemies, how could there be any reason to let him go easily? Even if this really was just a seemingly useless Clone, he would show no mercy!

"Since you say so, then I shall verify it myself."

As soon as the words fell, Chen Fan's figure flashed, appearing instantly in front of Wei Xiong like a ghost.

Before Wei Xiong could react, he watched helplessly as Chen Fan raised his Dagger to stab his chest. The moment the tip of the blade touched his body, a layer of Protective Shield quickly emerged.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the Protective Shield that originally seemed indestructible was now as fragile as paper, easily pierced by Chen Fan's sharp Dagger, which drove straight into Wei Xiong's heart.

Chen Fan quickly pulled out the Dagger, and blood immediately sprayed out like a fountain.

"You! You!" Wei Xiong only then came to his senses, his face twisted and deformed by the intense pain.

He clutched his heart tightly with both hands, trying to stop the blood from flowing out, but it was already too late.

He could only stare fixedly at Chen Fan with eyes full of disbelief. A mere Martial Artist, even if he had reached the True Essence Realm, so what?

In his eyes, he was nothing but a despicable and weak person. Who gave him the guts to dare to disregard him like this?

Soon, Wei Xiong's eyes were filled with resentment, his blood-red eyes seemingly wanting to burn Chen Fan's appearance deep into his mind.

"I will... find you." He struggled to open his mouth, emitting an indistinct sound. Afterward, with a "thump," he collapsed heavily to the ground.

"It seems it really was a Clone." Chen Fan frowned deeply. Although he couldn't hear clearly what Wei Xiong was saying, he could roughly guess the meaning from the lip movements.

One has to say, this ability is truly troublesome.

Theoretically speaking, if one cannot find the opponent's real body, one cannot truly put them to death, and it is also highly likely to invite endless retaliation.

Of course, this has a prerequisite: that the opponent must know who he is and be able to find him.

Chen Fan slowly turned around, looking at Qi Yuangu with cold eyes, and said: "It's your turn."

Qi Yuangu was scared out of his wits, his face turning ashen instantly.

He truly never expected that the person before him would be bold to such an extent, daring to kill even Wei Xiong!

As for himself, did that even need to be said?

The next moment, he used a teleportation item without hesitation, appearing five kilometers away in the blink of an eye.

As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood! As long as he reported what happened here to the headquarters, experts would naturally come out to deal with this guy!

But just as he revealed his figure, a beam of desperate black light struck like lightning.

"Crack!"

Another crisp sound, the Protective Shield was torn apart directly, the Dagger slashed across his head, and blood splattered out.

"How could it be like this?" Qi Yuangu widened his eyes, his face full of terror and confusion.

He had already run so far away, so why was the other party still able to find him at the very first moment? What on earth was the reason for this?
