Chapter 640 Shadow Clone

The song ends and everyone disperses.

After bidding farewell to Josiah and Allen, Tang En did not leave Hanshui City immediately. Instead, he turned around and settled down here.

Originally, according to Tang En and Joshua's idea, they wanted to kidnap a few alchemists directly back to the camp. But now that Lina is here to help, that naturally doesn't need to be the case.

As soon as he returned to Hanshui City, Tang En asked David and the others to find a remote place, and then purchased a complete set of alchemy equipment in the name of the Yatang Chamber of Commerce and sent it to Lina to concentrate on studying the unknown weapons and telescopes.

Tang En then summoned the heads of the surrounding secret agencies to get the agencies running again. The first task was to find the addresses of the Bounty Hunter Guild.

As for Tang En, after issuing all the orders, he locked himself in the room of the contact point. He did not leave or take any steps for the whole day, completely entering a state of seclusion.

In fact, Tang En had already planned to retreat. Although he had been chased by hard forces during his previous trip to the Northern Wilderness, and his life was hanging by a thread, he had indeed gained a lot. What's more important is that I have a vague understanding of the direction of my future strength improvement... I have to say that cultivation is also an addictive thing, especially the depressing feeling of stepping on the threshold, which can really make people feel uncomfortable. A strong desire to go further.

Of course, having sex is one thing, but actually doing it is another. When Tang En came back this time, he was first wanted by the whole continent, and then he was anxious to pursue the Bosco family. Later, he formally established a relationship with Josiah... After a big circle, he now had the opportunity to retreat quietly.

…

Five days later, in the morning.

David arrived at the contact point covered in travel, and after saying hello to the secret guards guarding the area, he went straight to Tang En.

Of course he knew that Tang En was in seclusion, but because he had some clues about what he was responsible for, he decided to try his luck.

The place where Tang En retreated was a reading courtyard. As soon as David stepped into the courtyard, his steps couldn't help but pause. His eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his expression was extremely astonished...

Of course, this was not a reaction to being rejected. In fact, as soon as David came in, he saw Tang En's figure in the courtyard. However, there were two figures...

In the center of the courtyard, Tang En raised his head slightly and faced the scorching eastern sun, with his hands behind his back and a calm expression. Well, he must be basking in the sun. As if feeling David's appraising gaze, he turned his head slightly and looked over expressionlessly.

Under the eaves on the left, there was also the figure of Tang En, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, his expression as calm as ever, but his right hand was stretched out flatly, as if he was trying his best to touch something. What's even more strange is that the five fingers of the outstretched right hand disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a bare palm...

David opened his mouth and was completely dumbfounded. Hallucination? Or a phantom?

It's a clear sky and a white day, so hallucinations are naturally unlikely. But David also didn't think the two figures in front of him were phantoms...

David's movement speed was slightly slower, so even if he tried his best to dash forward, he still couldn't pull out the phantom. But he still has good eyesight, and he knows that the phantom is just a phantom after all. Although it has the same appearance and movements as the real body, it is absolutely impossible for one of them to look at each other, and the other... uh, to run to the side and do tricks.

Is that a disguise?

This is also unlikely. Not to mention David's accomplishments in disguise skills, but in this astonishment, he was also sensitive to the slight differences between the two figures.

That is, the figure standing in the courtyard basking in the sun looks a little frail... Of course, this is just a vague feeling. Because this figure also has a nose and eyes, and there are no missing parts. But when David looked at it, he always felt a little distorted, a little illusory...

Just when David was in shock, there was a soft popping sound. Tang En, who was under the eaves on the left, was suddenly shaken. The right hand that he touched with all his strength was knocked out as if he had touched a landmine. His arm was thrown back, and his body was also The shape also swayed, and he took a half step back. At the same time, the bare palm returned to its original shape, with all five fingers present.

"This..." Before David had time to be shocked, he suddenly felt an invisible and intangible force coming out of thin air, like ripples spreading in the water, and he subconsciously punched to block it.

Wow... This force is not very strong. After being blocked, it only raised the hem of David's clothes, but it is undeniable that this power really exists!

"Oh, it's David." Tang En, who was under the eaves, shook his head slightly at first, looking a little regretful. Then he looked up and saw the shocked David, saying hello, "What, is something wrong?" As he waved, the man in the center of the courtyard The Tao figure caused a slight ripple and disappeared out of thin air in an instant, as if it had never appeared before.

"Uh..." David didn't come back to his senses for a moment. He looked at Tang En, then at the center of the empty courtyard, and rubbed his eyes, "What's going on?"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's just an illusory clone." After a brief explanation, Tang En walked over with a smile.

"Clone?" David scratched his head with a puzzled look on his face, then looked Tang En up and down, and asked tentatively, "Are you... the real boss?"

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Tang En raised his hand and slapped the back of David's head, then said angrily: "Nonsense, what do you think?"

"Hehe..." David laughed innocently and subconsciously, then shouted with joy, "Boss, have you successfully retreated?"

This was not David's random yelling, but that there was indeed something different about Tang En now. How can I put it...if the previous Tang En was thrown into the crowd, he would not be noticeable at all. And if the current Tang En is thrown in again, he will not only look inconspicuous, but also a little fluttery, as if he can disappear in an instant...

David didn't know what returning to his original nature meant. He just vaguely sensed that Tang En had changed. And when this change fell into his eyes, it was naturally a symbol of improved strength.

But Tang En shook his head: "Half and half, maybe. It's not a complete success, but there are some gains."

This is the truth. The attack method that Tang En most wanted to break through, which was as subtle as the realm of space, was not completely successful. Just like what David saw just now, he just entered the door, inserted half of his palm, and then was pushed out by the repulsive force of the space inside.

However, don't underestimate the experience of getting started. Tang En's shadow hiding skill, which has not seen much movement, and the "Shadow Clone" skill that he just obtained from the previous upgrade, have officially entered the room and received a qualitative improvement.

Overall, Tang En's retreat was a success, and his strength has taken a key step forward.

At this time, David suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered something: "By the way, boss, there is news from the secret agency. Several Bounty Hunter Guild addresses have been found."

Tang En raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh? Where is it? Tell me in detail."

If Tang En wants to build his own killer organization, he must first take action against the Bounty Hunter Guild. This is absolutely unavoidable.

The Bounty Hunter Guild has a long history. Not to mention the whole of Bran, it should be everywhere in the north. It is undoubtedly very difficult to successfully seize the channel market from this behemoth.

Regarding this situation, Tang En's response method was very simple, completely assassin style, that is, to find the top brass of the Bounty Hunter Guild and then find a way to solve it all at once.

To be honest, this is a helpless move. Bounty hunter guilds are spread all over the place. If they just find and kill them one by one, without alerting the enemy, even if they succeed, they won't be able to cause much harm to the other party. Besides, Tang En didn't have the time to spend time with them. He could only hit the opponent completely with one strike, preferably one that would not allow him to recover within a few years. This would be in line with Tang En's plan to establish a killer organization.

"According to your instructions, boss, the secret agency this time is looking for low-level guild addresses such as towns and cities. Judging from the current results, the closest place to Hanshui City is Luomu Town, a hundred miles away in the south."

As the saying goes, sharpening your sword will never make you chop wood. If you want to defeat your opponent, you must know enough about them. Twain would never look down on his opponent, let alone a big guy this time, so it was undoubtedly necessary to start small.

"Luomu Town..." Touching his chin, Tang En waved decisively, "That's it. Gather the brothers from the gray space. We'll go over there tonight and give you some guidance. Well, we can also learn from experience by the way."

"Uh, yes..."
