Chapter 19: Killing a King!
After Cao Tian’s incident, the trio continued their journey for a month without any mentionable incident. Well, that is if you ignore Shen’s hard try to eat Mingyue Gelou and how Wushuang would intentionally or unintentionally ruin his plan every time.
It's been more than a month he did the deed for the first time. And even holding back till now became too much for him.
Even the idea to take them together crossed his head, but thankfully he remembered about Wushuang's Yin Physique before it was too late.
Although he had the Absolute Physique, he didn't know how much advantages he had than others. That's how pitiful our MC's journey was.
‘That girl! Just let me cultivate my Absolute Physique to the first layer. I will make sure to mess you up properly. No, let's add keeping her on a bed for at least three days. Hmm, maybe I should make her beg for it?’ as Shen kept thinking about punishing Wushuang in a various way, and the latter noticed the smirk on his face.
“Ouch! What was that for?” Wushuang who was enjoying the meat roasted by Shen, sent a bone flying on his head. Although Shen didn’t feel any pain, he played along.
“You bad egg, what are you planning? Don’t think of doing something on my back...”
“Obviously, how can I plan something behind your back?” Shen facepalmed. ‘Well, I sure ain’t planning to do something behind you, but I’m not so sure if it’s about you...’ he didn’t forget to add it but only on his mind.
“And why are you not roasting more??” Wushuang questioned with an innocent face as she held a chicken leg on her beautiful jade white hand.
“...”
Mingyue Gelou also stared at him with an anticipated look. Although Wushuang really hated this bad egg to her core, she couldn’t deny the foods made by him were of best quality. Even Mingyue Gelou wondered how he could make something simple so tasty, but alas she would never know this was all because of the heaven-defying Absolute Cooking Manual.
Shen just sighed and wanted to barbecue more, but he noticed the wild chicken he hunted was already cleared by Wushuang and Gelou. “Well, princesses, we are out of chickens. Besides, didn’t you two already have enough for today? Or do you plan to become fatso, like the innkeeper we saw last time, hahahahaha...”
Shen couldn’t contain his laughter as he Wushuang’s expression changing. “You bad egg, bully, I am not talking with you anymore.” Wushuang ran away like a bullied girl but not before she took the last piece of chicken wing and Mingyue Gelou.
“Now, I guess I should entertain the lurking guests. It won’t be a good idea to keep them waiting for long, I guess.”
Shen summoned Kawa from the Absolute Realm and let her stay on guard for the girls. If there was something he couldn’t be careless with that would be his girls. If something happened to them in his absence or presence, he doesn’t think he can forgive himself.
After that, he sped-run toward the West direction which was mostly filled with dense jungle. “Well, will you show yourself or does this Young Master have to drag you out slowly-”
“Foolish Child, it seems I indeed underestimated you. You can possibly detect my location. But still, that doesn’t mean I will spare you. How dare you make my grandchild impotent.” an old voice suddenly interrupted Shen’s word.
Shen just raised a brow, “Impotent? I don’t remember doing something like that... Ah, you must be talking about the cross-dressing girls, huh? Strange, I don’t know why I suddenly started meeting crossdressing girls. Strangely, they didn’t have breasts either. And eww, they looked strange with some muscles too. I guess beauties are indeed rare in this worl-”
“Foolish Child! I did not come to hear your nonsense!-”
“Shut it, old man! I dare you to interrupt me once again and see if I don’t meet the same fate either.” Shen started to get irritated as this old dude interrupted him both times.
“...good, very good! I just planned to make you suffer the same fate and let you live as a slave under my grandchild, but it seemed I was too soft.” the old man seemed to become really angry as his voice started to become shaky and deeper.
“Yeah, you think you can? Just a 1st Grade Martial King? You are million years early to decide my fate.” Shen seemed nonchalant as he told the old man about his cultivation.
On the other hand, the old man was gobsmacked. He couldn’t tell this young man’s cultivation, but how is it possible this child stated his cultivation like the back of his hand?
In fact, it was nothing surprising for Shen to learn the old man’s cultivation base. He already had 600,000 Jins of raw Strength. If he uses any fist technique his attack power can possibly double. And with Absolute Vision, he can learn anyone’s cultivation even if he doesn’t want to. He has more than one or two ways to figure out someone’s cultivation base.
“...looks like, you are not as simple as you look but still you have to die in my hands. Let me kill you and find out your secrets.” without further delay the old man speeded toward his direction. Although Shen was a junior, he didn’t try to hold back or show any mercy.
This kid was truly monstrous. Either extremely cunning or innately talented, if he leaves such an enemy, his whole bloodline will be endangered!
As soon as, he reached near Shen, he used his family palm technique while shouting “Monkey Slapping Tiger!”
Shen disappeared from his location and crushed on a tree behind him!
“The F**k...” Shen couldn’t help but curse out loudly. When he saw the slow palm technique of the old man, he couldn’t help but feel disappointed. He thought this old man would have some profound technique but he only met with disappointment.
What’s more, when moved back to avoid the palm, he crashed head first on a tree after hearing the name of that technique. “Bloody hell, you want to kill me with your palm technique or the name? In the first place, why would you shout that thing when fighting?!??”
“Hahaha, how did that taste? It is 99% sure hit palm technique of my family passed down from generation to generation.” The old man started to brag about as family technique as if he already forgot the enmity from before which caused a vein to pop up on Shen’s head.
“I had enough of this bullshit! If you don’t want to be serious, then let me end you now and here.” silver colored Qi shrouded Shen’s left hand as he sped toward the old man.
The old man also threw his fist against Shen, "Monkey Balls Severing Heaven!"
Shen’s facial muscles twitched a bit. It seemed as if time slowed down, Shen’s hand and old man’s punch clashed. Unlike the expected sound, nothing happened. Only a silver streak of light flashed.
The old man’s hand horizontally divided into two parts. “Just as I expected, trash. I would feel insulting my Absolute Qi if I used it.” Shen’s eyes shined brightly.
The Battlefield was a place one had to be careful always. One step wrong and you can lose your life. His last carelessness also reminded the same thing to him.
“Arrggghhhh... Impossible... Just a kid... how dare you!!!” the old man seemed as if he couldn’t accept his loss. He used his other hand to take out a paper from his pouch.
As soon as, Shen saw the paper on the old man’s hand, he quickly separated his hand from the body. This paper was a Talisman. This was not his first time seeing talisman. Before while staying on Duanmu Clan, he saw them a few times.
But it seemed as if he was already late, the talisman paper slowly started to burn and a strange aroma filled the area. Soon, it seemed as if the air exploded and spread in every direction.
“Hahaha, you will die!! Every Demonic Beast within 10 kilometers of this area will rush here and kill anyone they find. Hahahah!--”
“thup...”
“Thanks for your information. And, I guess Demonic Beasts will enjoy your corpse. At least, you will be useful even though you are... were trash.” Shen left the area soon as he didn’t find anything of worth on the old man’s body.
Only a head and handless body remained on the ground. If one looks carefully they will be able to see the brain matter of a Human with blood sprayed around the ground. Shen used a clean kick to separate the neck from the body, at the same time crushing the head on the ground.
