Chapter 404 - Father and Son Fight (2/2)

Bam!

Gu Santong’s punch sent Zhuo Fan barreling into some lofty buildings.

He had used the Qilin arm to block, but Gu Santong’s power went through it and into his chest, forcing him to spit up blood.

“God damn it! That pipsqueak doesn’t know how to hold back! I told him, only a few blows, but he’s still going strong!” Zhuo Fan crawled out of the rubble, spatted some blood and cursed with a heavy breath.

Gu Santong was coming for another round, “Ha-ha-ha, again. Take this!”

[Again?!]

Zhuo Fan squinted, not fond of taking any more of the kid’s tough love. So he popped away with his right eye flashing golden.

Gu Santong hit nothing but the ruins, kicking up dust.

[Eh, where’s dad?]

Gu Santong roamed his innocent eyes around. Zhuo Fan blinked next to Yun Shuang, hugged her and flew away.

Afraid that the rest of the people won’t find it obvious that he lost, he shouted, “Blast it! I can’t mess with that freak. Let’s go!”

Gu Santong got it on the spot. That was Zhuo Fan’s signal for act two so he played along, “Stop him!”

Rustle~

A dozen Radiant Stage experts barred Zhuo Fan’s way, glaring at him with fury.

If Gu Santong failed, they wouldn’t have shown themselves. But since Gu Santong was still going strong, in hot pursuit, they chose to earn some credit by buying time.

Was it that easy though, to hold back Zhuo Fan with a couple of shrimps?

His right eye flashed golden again and he teleported behind them.

As they turned around to chase, blue wings spread out from Zhuo Fan’s back. A single flap of them sent illusions at them.

“That’s Sea Phantom Wing. Look out!” One cried, despite being too late.

The blue image surrounded the experts. Their minds grew hazy and they splatted on the ground like pies.

Zhuo Fan laughed and flapped his wings to gain more speed and flew away.

Gu Santong stomped in fake anger, “Humph, useless rabble. You’ve ruined my 6th grade ingredients! Once I am done capturing him, I’ll take my anger out on you.”

Gu Santong shot after Zhuo Fan.

Angry on the outside, but giddy in his little heart.

[Dad, wait for me…]

The audience watched them go with a sigh.

In the end, it was Gu Santong who came out on top in that monster clash. But Gu Santong wouldn’t get his paws on Zhuo Fan anytime soon, not with his guile.

Humph!

The emperor turned to the ex-grand Imperial Palace, his anger growing. He flicked his hand at the dazed Luo clan, “Prosperity Compound’s Luo clan has failed to uphold its character, colluding with the savage Zhuo Fan. Seize them!”

“Understood!”

Dozens of guards, with plenty of Radiant Stage experts in between, moved at once.

Cackles resounded as four black masses drifted from the Luo clan to meet the imperial guards. In but a dozen seconds, the guards lay on the ground, in pieces, Radiant Stage experts included.

“Hi-hi-hi, Luo clan doesn’t have Steward Zhuo now, but we, the heroic demon quartet, will take his place. Ask the boss before messing with his dogs. You guys don’t cut it!” The four black masses hovered around the Luo clan with their creepy laughter.

The emperor’s face twitched.

Luo Yunhai and the others sighed. The four pygmies were their elders. So wasn’t their boss the Luo Clan Head? That saying about dogs didn’t quite apply here.

But everyone knew those pygmies weren’t right in the head, so they just dropped it. Funnily enough, coming out in defense at the crucial time showed their loyalty.

Creak~

A metal screech announced the arrival of a black figure behind the emperor. Its hoarse voice said, “You dare act obnoxious before the emperor?”

Whoosh!

A shadow shot for the four freaks like lightning…
