159 Chapter 158: Cao Tengfei! 1 (2/2)
They then escorted Cao Tengfei to a tent so that the other party could get himself a new set of robe.
On the way there, one of the students whispered to his friend, ”To think that this old man's parents would be so vicious, naming their own son something as such.. truly horrible!”
The other nodded in agreement and replied, ”Indeed, if it were me, even as a baby, such name would definitely make me want to cry for a hundred years..”
”Eh? What is wrong with my name?” Cao Tengfei asked, as he happened to overheard them talking about him.
Deep in his heart, he felt that there was something amiss with them when he told them his name before.
It was like his name actually meant something else to them!
”Ahh! It was nothing, we were talking about how grand your name sounded..” they hurriedly said.
Hearing such a nice compliments, Cao Tengfei now felt a little bit better.
”Perhaps I should just let them be my mindless slaves later on and not kill them..” he thought to himself, feeling a little bit soft inside.
If only he knew what the students actually meant, he would definitely run amok in an instant!
After all, these young students live in a new, millennial era, far apart from the generation of when Cao Tengfei was born from.
In this day and age, even simple words could be twisted to sound offensive and profane, much less Cao Tengfei's name, specifically that 'Cao' literally meant to 'F*ck'.
And when they nicknamed him as Old Cao, they were literally calling him as 'Old F*ck'!
Who in the world would not run berserk if they were called as an Old F*ck?
It was only due to the grace of Heavens up above that Cao Tengfei was not up to the current trend with the usage of words used for profanity.
...
After getting himself a new set of robe, the students bought him some meat skewer from a BBQ stall as they reckoned that the old man should be quite hungry, judging from his bony figure.
Taking a few bites off from the meat skewer, Cao Tengfei was enjoying himself before he quickly realized that he hadn't found out about anything yet.
”What happened here? I thought that the Blastwinter desert is supposed to be barren.. why are you guys having a theme park here? And what is with that large crater?” he asked.
”Ahh! Well actually, we were supposed to fight to the death against a pack of monster stampedes before, but then a powerful junior just suddenly threw out a single punch towards the monsters and kaboom! More than half of them were instantly obliterated!” one of them answered.
”Eh? A powerful junior throwing out a single punch to annihilate half of the 1 Star monsters that came here?” he said in disbelief.
”En! That punch was like a meteor! I guess that if he hadn't held back, his second punch would've completely eliminated them all!” the student explained.
”That's right, it was because of that that there were only a few of these monsters were left.. and since we had already come all the way here, we can't just go back empty-handed.. but since the number of monsters isn't enough for us, we held some competition and the winners will get to slay the remaining monsters as well as their monster cores!” another student added.
”This..” Cao Tengfei swallowed his saliva.
Are these students actually toying with me?
How can a mere junior possesses such a strength that could even pose a threat to a Nascent Soul realm expert like me before?
And a single punch at that?
I refuse to believe it!
Besides, that was definitely a real meteor before! I even felt its impact firsthand!
Just as he thought along these lines, one of the students narrowed his eyes as he pulled back his friends away from Cao Tengfei.
He then glared a suspicious look onto Cao Tengfei, ”Old Cao, how do you know that these monsters are all 1 Star monsters and that they were heading here?” the student said in a wary tone.
”Huh?” Cao Tengfei was taken aback.
”Well.. I saw that those monsters were heading here from the distance..” he answered.
”As I thought..” the student said and then continued as he rose his battle intent to the peak while retreating a few steps back, ”I was observing you in silence before and wasn't sure on how you managed to smell like the stench of death since the very beginning..”
”I thought that it was because you were dying and was reaching the end of your life, or a war veteran, but from what you have said before, you were just a peddler and that had me really skeptical with your background..”
”But now, since you had your stomach filled and your tattered robe changed, you still smell like death regardless..”
”The only possible explanation for this is that.. you're not something whom you claimed to be.. isn't that right, Old Cao?” the student said.
Cao Tengfei was a little bit surprised and was trying to find more excuses, but then shook his head.
Why do I need to explain myself to an ant?
Since he wants to snuff me out, let me just come out then!
Cao Tengfei's face suddenly warped, from a fragile old man to that of a sinister lunatic.
”It seems that I got found out.. interesting..” he said slowly.
Piku! Piku!
His skinny and bony figure swelled up as he slowly became taller, and then casted a look onto the student that managed to identify him with intrigued, ”Now I see.. no wonder you could smell me.. turns out that you have the same kind of smell as mine too! Hehe.. HAHAHA!”
”What is your name? I'll try my best not to kill you..” he said as his aura grew ever so menacing and vile!
Before this, he was suppressing his cultivation and appeared to be no more than an ordinary fragile elder before other's eyes, but since he has now unsealed himself, he could vividly see the dark tendrils flowing out from the other party!
Purghh!
All the students with the exception to the one that had identified Cao Tengfei puked out their innards.
”You guys go on and retreat from here and call for reinforcement! I feel like we are dealing with something inhumane here..” the student said as they nodded and swiftly left.
He then casted his narrowed eyes onto Cao Tengfei as sweats began to form on his forehead, and his heart could not help but to beat out erratically!
If even he was feeling like this, then there was no way they could withstand such an abated killing intent this old man was letting out right now!
Gulp!
And right now, he could see something vivid but extremely sinister and dark flowing out from the body of the other party.
”My name.. is Sui Shunyuan!”
