This sentence, whether spoken by ng Yu or ng Xue, carries imnse weight.
Especially when spoken by ng Xue.
"Alright."
He nodded.
"Chen Fan, sis, take a seat. I’ll get you so water."
ng Yu, happy like a little girl, pulled ng Xue to sit on a bench, then brought out two clean bowls and placed them in front of the two, filling them with water.
"Aren’t you going to pour yourself a bowl too?"
Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
"No need."
ng Yu waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes squinted into slits from the smile: "I’m not thirsty. Chen Fan, sis, drink up quickly."
"I’m not thirsty for now either."
ng Xue looked at ng Yu with a loving gaze, then shifted her eyes to Chen Fan and sincerely said, "Chen Fan, thank you. If it weren’t for you, our sisters would never have reunited even in death.
Moreover, if you hadn’t taken in little Yu back then, she might not have survived until now with her abilities."
"It was just a small favor."
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Didn’t you say there’s sothing very important you need to tell ?"
ng Xue nodded: "You’ve fought with that person, haven’t you?"
"Yes."
Chen Fan recalled Du Hao’s appearance, frowned slightly, and said, "Is his superpower really clones?"
"Yes, his na is Du Hao. You’ve only killed his clone; if you can’t find his true self, you can’t kill him," ng Xue replied.
"Then killing his clone, does it really have no impact on him?"
Chen Fan asked again.
"It does have an impact, a significant one."
ng Xue said, "The death of a clone not only causes his power to regress but also makes his cultivation more difficult in the future.
The more clones he has, the harder it is to improve, eventually making his power stagnate at a certain stage."
"I see, so I wasn’t wrong."
Chen Fan slightly nodded.
He thought to himself, if it really had no impact, wouldn’t the guy be invincible?
ng Xue saw this and showed a hint of helplessness: "But he’s not lying to you. His status in Jiulong City is very high, commanding several B-level Awakened.
This ti, you killed his clone, he won’t take it lying down. He will definitely seek revenge. Moreover, this ti, you saved by killing several C-level Awakened in the city..."
ng Yu, hearing this, covered her mouth tightly.
She suspected that the process of Chen Fan saving her sister wouldn’t be easy.
So, Chen Fan had directly barged in and killed those people to rescue her sister?
ng Xue’s voice continued, "Predictably, soon this information will be reported. Then the Association will send hunters to track you down, so from now on, you’d better not use that identity again."
"I understand."
Chen Fan responded, even without ng Xue’s reminder, he would have been cautious about this.
"The hunters you ntioned earlier are?"
"A departnt in the Awakened Association that recruits extrely powerful Awakened to hunt targets on the wanted list and eliminate cults and anti-human forces. Occasionally, they deal with Fierce Beasts, but their targets are mostly humans. Your identity will soon be on the wanted list as well," ng Xue said apologetically.
"I see."
Chen Fan realized.
It seems only the top Awakened can enter this departnt.
"And there’s one more thing."
ng Xue paused for a mont.
"This matter is much more severe than what I’ve just ntioned, so I hope you are ntally prepared."
Chen Fan was taken aback, feeling a sense of foreboding, "What is it?"
"A year ago, I foresaw the future and saw the outbreak of the Beast Tide."
ng Xue’s eyes showed sadness, "This Beast Tide surpasses any previous ones. The scene from ten years ago will be replayed, and this ti, it’s even more terrifying."
As her voice fell, the room plunged into a deathly silence.
ng Yu’s smiling face completely froze.
Her eyes showed panic as she asked again in disbelief: "Sis, did you just say that the scene from ten years ago will replay?"
"Yes."
ng Xue nodded gently, "I saw the Beast Tide flooding our Yan Country like a torrent, engulfing countless cities. Flying types of Fierce Beasts darkened the sky, and in the ocean, there were countless Fierce Beasts crawling out. Moreover..."
Her eyes showed fear.
"Moreover what?"
Chen Fan asked hurriedly.
"I don’t know, because at that ti I felt an extre danger. If I continued foreseeing, I would die, so I stopped. But I have a premonition that the appearance of this Beast Tide ans a fourth Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beast might have erged."
"The fourth..."
Chen Fan shivered.
According to Uncle Zhang, the Human Race has only three S-Class Awakened, which form a delicate balance with the three Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beasts.
Both parties are striving fiercely to break this balance.
And now, it seems the Fierce Beasts have won?
"Perhaps, I might be overthinking,"
ng Xue said. "But the outbreak of the Beast Tide is certain to happen. At that ti, not just Anshan City, even cities like Jiulong City will fall. Only large cities and three ga-cities are our Yan Country’s last hope. Chen Fan, I hope you can prepare early."
"How can this be?"
ng Yu’s eyes reddened.
Apart from those large and ga cities, all other places will fall. That ans the Chen Family Fortress where she is now will also be inevitably flooded by Fierce Beasts.
What about the people in the fortress?
Like her, they had barely settled down, barely found hope in life, and now, once again, they will face chaos, even losing their lives.
Chen Fan also fell silent.
ng Xue’s words caught him off guard.
After a long pause, he asked, "Do you know the exact ti?"
"It’s just about to start. The fall of Anshan City is a prelude."
ng Xue sighed.
"I saw several Commander-level Fierce Beasts leading the Beast Tide attacking Anshan City, with countless casualties."
"So you an Anshan City will only face the attack of Commander-level Fierce Beasts next?"
Chen Fan keenly sensed sothing.
ng Xue paused, seeming to understand Chen Fan’s intent, "You want to stay and resist this Beast Tide?"
"I have this thought."
Chen Fan nodded.
If a Beast Emperor-level or Beast King-level Fierce Beast led the Beast Tide, he could only flee, as a green mountain wouldn’t fear not having firewood.
The people in the fortress and Anshan City, even if he wanted to save them, couldn’t be assisted with his current abilities.
But if it’s only Commander-level Fierce Beasts, he might manage to resist this Beast Tide with so effort.
ng Xue was montarily stunned.
She hoped to tell Chen Fan these things so he could prepare early and find a way to send his important people to large or ga cities, ensuring their survival even during the Beast Tide.
Unless the Human Race loses this battle, they would have nowhere to escape to.
In the end, he wants to stay?
"Chen Fan, don’t be impulsive. The Beast Tide isn’t simple. Just thousands of middle and high-level Fierce Beasts charging alone aren’t easy to fend off,
let alone with several Commander-level Fierce Beasts. They, like us, have intelligence and can formulate strategies."
"But, sis," ng Yu couldn’t help saying, "Haven’t we resisted past Beast Tides before?"
"It’s different."
ng Xue shook her head, "None of those past tides had Commander-level Fierce Beasts participating directly. The most dangerous ti, Anshan City almost fell due to a single Commander-level Fierce Beast directing from afar."
"Only one!"
ng Yu’s eyes widened.
Just one Commander-level Fierce Beast caused such significant pressure on Anshan City.
If another ca, the danger level of the Beast Tide would exponentially increase!
ng Xue looked at Chen Fan, her tone earnest: "Chen Fan, I know you can’t bear to abandon everyone in the fortress, but it’s inevitable. And to be blunt, this Beast Tide,
the large and ga cities might be more dangerous as they’ll likely face the strongest Fierce Beasts. Even so, they are still much safer than small and dium-sized cities."
"ng Xue, I understand your kindness."
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
"But I always believe that one should see things through to the end. Yan Ming and those guys indeed deserved to die, not just for ordinary people, but even Martial Artists were seen as ants by them.
But undeniably, they indirectly saved many lives. I killed them, which directly weakened Anshan City’s defenses. If the Beast Tide breaks out, even without Commander-level Fierce Beasts, Anshan City won’t hold. So, I must stay and protect this city."
ng Xue was completely stunned.
ng Yu’s eyes sparkled, knowing this was the Chen Fan she knew.
"But, I promise you, if it reaches the point of life and death, I’ll leave the ordinary people behind and run without hesitation. However, I won’t give up without trying my best,
After all, you’re able to foresee, aren’t you? If you predict that even I can’t turn the tide, you can tell in advance, right?"
The room fell silent, with the three looking at each other.
ng Xue felt a complex mix of emotions.
She had to admit, Chen Fan was different from Yan Ming and the others.
When it ca to this, the latter only thought of fleeing, not considering the lives of tens of thousands in Anshan City.
After a long pause, she bitterly smiled, "Chen Fan, things aren’t as optimistic as you think. I’d love to help predict the future, but my body can no longer support such large-scale foreseeing."
