Crack!
With a sharp sound, Zhuo Fan’s last Void Wall was about to fall, giving way for the red wave to attack.
The Demon Scheming Sect team’s faces turned heavy, their hearts in their throat as they used all they had to protect themselves.
Kui Lang held Han Qianying close, as he used his soul power to protect both of them.
Bam!
Zhuo Fan’s third Void Wall collapsed at last and caused the others to jump. The red wave swept for them the next second.
But before it reached them, it faded away into nothing and Gu Santong’s dreadful power never touched them.
Startled, they all looked at each other before bursting in joy.
“Hu~, the kid’s vibration wave was like a shock wave. My Void Wall used separate spaces to lower its power. One can say they’re mutually exclusive.” Zhuo Fan eased a long breath, “If not, in the face of that high intensity vibration, even an Ethereal Stage expert would receive a heavy wound, if not killed outright.”
The others nodded, exuberant they just got out alive. Venerable Bai gave a thumbs up, “Steward Zhuo, you really know your son the best. If it were anyone else, they’d suffer for it. Only you could resist it. You are his father after all, ha-ha-ha…”
The others laughed alongside him.
“Ha-ha-ha, you don’t have to say that. I’m so much weaker than my kid. Since we’re so far away and the kid didn’t use a targeted move, I could block it.”
Zhuo Fan sighed, “Now do you understand why I didn’t want to take him out? Because this brat forgets himself, just like a child.”
The others nodded and felt Zhuo Fan’s pain.
Such a mighty power in the hands of a rash kid. It was not just deadly to the enemy, but even to oneself.
The only reason Steward Zhuo let the boy out was because the Heavenly Cycle Elders intervened.
“I worry he just destroyed Mystical Heaven Sect with this move. How are we going to explain it to Double Dragon Manor?” Zhuo Fan frowned and sighed.
[With sacred beast’s pride, they never go easy. Ever since young Sanzi was taught about being a Qilin, he’s been going further and further down the path of a king of beasts.]
Just like earlier, the enemy was clearly crushed, but he still showed off his power as if to show he was the best in the world. He gave no thought to the consequences.
This was the difference between beasts and humans. Beasts only cared about power. While humans were shrewd, turning the strong into weak, defeat into victory.
Young Sanzi was a Qilin son, so following the beast way was a given, though throwing him into the world of man was far from sensible.
If he lacked the tiniest bit, Zhuo Fan, his godfather, would’ve died alongside the enemy.
Sighing, Zhuo Fan shook his head. Fiend Yang spoke in a shaken tone, “Z-Zhuo Fan, look there. Your son didn’t ruin Mystical Heaven Sect, though there’s barely anything left. He really is an ender! For crying out loud, what kind of monsters is your clan made of? One is worse than the last. The father ruled Double Dragon Gathering and the son stomps a sect? This is unnatural…”
The rest turned their heads to look only to be staring agape.
Gu Santong was still acting almighty in the sky, looking down on everything, but turning to Mystical Heaven Sect, the previous nice scenery was reduced to rubble, with corpses strewn everywhere. There were also sobs and cries here and there, while blood trickled from every corner. This was hell, no two ways about it!
Han Qianying and Shui Ruohua looked away in tears. This was their home.
Chu Qingcheng looked away as well, even if she hadn’t been here for long.
“Dad, mom, I mowed them good. It hasn’t even been half an hour.” Gu Santong smiled as he sped for them.
The others were so scared they didn’t even look him in the eye.
[What kind of child can raze a lower-three sect to the ground?]
Fiend Yang looked worried by his attitude. He still recalled the child’s annoyance with him.
To any normal kid that whined, Fiend Yang would only tease him more; except for young Sanzi. He didn’t have it in him.
He was better off keeping a safe distance. If the guy’s temper went off, there wouldn’t be just whining and tears, but blood and gore.
Looking at the ground littered with corpses and victims, Fiend Yang felt utter regret.
[Am I that bored to rub a kid’s head?]
Zhuo Fan looked around then smiled at Gu Santong, “Young Sanzi, you did great. Leave the rest to me. You don’t have to do anything now.”
“Sure!”
Young Sanzi bobbed his head like a good kid, giggling innocently. Only the guys around thought…
[Who’d ever believe that pure smile?]
Seeing the bloody aftermath, Venerable Qi said, “Steward Zhuo, this isn’t easy to settle. We need a very good reason for all of this to make the Double Dragon Manor stop even if they come here.”
“I know that.” Zhuo Fan’s eyes shone. “Find Sect Leader Xuan and Xuan Shaoyu fast. They’re our only hope of coming clean out of this mess.”
None knew what he meant but they obeyed, “Understood!”
They all began their search. Venerable Qi and Bai shared a look and grinned.
Crash!
In a pile of rubble, Sect Leader Xuan crawled out from all that rock, bleeding from his mouth. He had no time to address his condition as he felt the rubble shift under him and a youth clawed his way out, Xuan Shaoyu.
Only Xuan Shaoyu looked deathly pale, the spiritual armor on him had long since broken into two, dangling from his body.
“Thank god the 9th grade spiritual armor was here to save his life.” Sect Leader Xuan touched his hand and sent his soul power to check Xuan Shaoyu’s condition. He laughed in joy, “Shaoyu, I’m so happy you’re fine!”
Xuan Shaoyu opened his eyes to see his father, but then he gasped, “Dad, Zhuo Fan ruined our sect. We can’t let him get away with this!”
“Don’t worry. I will definitely make sure he’ll be ripped apart for you.” Sect Leader Xuan’s face was hard.
Xuan Shaoyu showed a weak smile, “Great… Zhuo Fan, I won’t ever let you and junior sister Qingcheng be happy together…”
“Ha-ha-ha, you can’t even protect yourself, young master Xuan. Yet you still have the luxury to worry about Qingcheng and my happiness? Why thank you…”
Xuan Shaoyu did not get to finish as a mocking tone came.
Sect Leader Xuan looked to see Zhuo Fan bearing a sinister smile as he came over with the girls.
Sect Leader Xuan spat, “Zhuo Fan, demon fiend, you ruined my sect and still dare to show your face here?”
“Why not? With your heavy wounds, what can you possibly do to me?” Zhuo Fan raised an eyebrow, “Mystical Heaven Sect’s experts are now dead or wounded. Even you can’t protect yourself. So why the high and mighty attitude?”
“You…” Sect Leader Xuan was filled with fury, but didn’t get to finish as he coughed blood again.
Zhuo Fan shrugged, “See, you have no power left. Your life is now in my hands. I’ll be honest here. Your death or survival is at my whim. You have no choice in the matter.”
Sect Leader Xuan remained silent, only biting his lip.
Utter humiliation.
A Sect Leader like him had never been in such a state before. Taunted by the enemy and with no way of retorting, because he knew what he said was the truth. He was now powerless.
The Demon Scheming Sect team grinned at him. Han Qianying and the girls just sighed.
The great Mystical Heaven Sect had gotten theirs, now reduced to this.
“Well, do you want to live or die?” Zhuo Fan’s eyes shone, getting to the main point…
