The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 751: Little Monster vs. Old Freaks

Proofreader: Papatonks

“Humph, I’ve heard so much about the best and most talented disciple in western lands, how he was so heroic at the Double Dragon Gathering. In the end, you’re hiding behind a child. You really opened my eyes in this.”

Sect Leader Xuan mocked, while the Mystical Heaven Sect was jeering at Zhuo Fan’s expense.

When disaster struck, a babe was taken out!

Demon Scheming Sect were facing a fierce enemy now but they were all veteran cultivators. They had status and respect, even as demonic cultivators. Even they wouldn’t stoop so low as to use a child to take their burdens. It was beyond disgraceful.

They all cast blaming looks at Zhuo Fan. 

[This war was a big misunderstanding to begin with. We can even forget the fact you brought us to our death, but can you at least let us die with honor?]

[What the hell did we do to deserve this?]

“Uhm, Steward Zhuo, if you’re at the end of the rope, fighting to the death is much better than leaving it in the hands of a child. Are you maybe going easy on your enemy?” Venerable Qi sighed.

Fiend Yang blamed, “Zhuo Fan, I know your whole clan is a den of freaks, obvious from how this child is in the Ethereal Stage at such a young age, but he’s way too young and never knew war. It’d be better to let him escape and take revenge for us. Why must you push him forward, crushing our hopes and making a fool of yourself?”

“Hey, did you just say something, chubby? Yours truly can dish it out! Are you calling me weak?” Gu Santong wrinkled his nose in anger.

Fiend Yang sighed and rubbed Gu Santong’s head, “See that, look how much he resembles you. But no matter how strong, you can’t grow overconfident. He’s just in the Ethereal Stage, how can he fight those old freaks at peak Ethereal Stage? Have you no heart to send your child… 

Gu Santong was about to blow a gasket. Zhuo Fan shook his head but said nothing. 

[Fatty Yang, you asked for what’s coming. Young Sanzi won’t go easy on you.]

Pa!

Gu Santong grabbed Fiend Yang’s hand and startling him, “What is it, little guy?”

“I hate it when people touch my head!” Gu Santong gnashed his teeth, but just then, a fair hand touched his as a delicate voice spoke, “Are you young Sanzi? I heard of you.”

Startled, young Sanzi looked at the pretty lady with a stunned gaze, his hand easing his grip on Fiend Yang.

“Then, young Sanzi, our safety is in your hands.” Chu Qingcheng leaned and touched Gu Santong’s cheek. Her bright smile blew the child’s mind, nodding out of reflex.

Zhuo Fan sighed.

[No one can resist Qingcheng’s beauty, not even this brat.] 

So he coughed and pointed at Chu Qingcheng, “Young Sanzi, this is my lady. She’ll be your mother from now on.”

“Mom?” Gu Santong shook and looked at Chu Qingcheng, “Great, I like her!”

Chu Qingcheng blushed and rolled her eyes at Zhuo Fan. Then she turned to the enemy, at the Heavenly Cycle Elders, and asked concerned, “Young Sanzi, can you beat them? Won’t it be hard?”

“Humph, what’s so great about some small fries?”

Gu Santong mocked, then strutted over, “Dad, mom, in half an hour I’ll make mincemeat out of them!”

Chu Qingcheng looked at him then at Zhuo Fan with red cheeks.

“Ha-ha-ha, this kid is just like his dad. He called you mom without hesitation.” Zhuo Fan chuckled.

Chu Qingcheng glared at him, but felt warm and fuzzy inside.

The others was watching the queer scene in stunned silence. 

[What kind of parents sent their child to die? Even if unrelated.] 

Han Qianying frowned and asked, “Qingcheng, how can you agree with Zhuo Fan, letting a child…”

“Senior sister, he’s no child.” Chu Qingcheng said, “In Tianyu, he has never lost a fight. He’s called Invincible Scamp for a reason.”

“Yeah, even I couldn’t beat this kid!”

Zhuo Fan sighed, then smiled, “Qingcheng, you sure know young Sanzi quite well.”

Chu Qingcheng smiled, “Of course. I might have come to Mystical Heaven Sect earlier, but my sisters from Drifting Flowers Edifices have sent me jade slips with all you’ve been doing in Tianyu. So the fact you have such a godlike godson, I knew as well. I just find it odd though. Just what did you use to cheat this great force to be your son?” 

“Uhm, the same way I charmed the most gorgeous woman to be my wife.” Zhuo Fan grinned.

Chu Qingcheng rolled her eyes and cursed, “Since when were you such a smooth-talker?”

As the two were in a rare moment of flirting with each other, Gu Santong was a child on a mission. This monstrous scamp wearing the face of a cute child was finally unleashed on the battlefield. 

Everyone stared at him, sighing and helpless. They knew Zhuo Fan was a bastard, but not without morals. To send a child on the cruel field of battle, and even calling him a glorified ace. How revolting.

Seeing that sweet little face, and those chubby hands, they all found him adorable. 

[That’s no ace, but a small fry!]

Sect Leader Xuan mocked, “Is this Demon Scheming Sect’s trump card? With both parents dead, this child will have to wander alone the cruel road of cultivation? Ha-ha-ha, a shame that this won’t work on us. We may be righteous cultivators but no saints.” 

“Humph, yah, this demon brat is so young and in the Ethereal Stage. It’s best to cull him now before he grows!” Xuan Shaoyu gnashed his teeth.

The Heavenly Cycle Elders agreed. One elder even shouted, “Kid, do you really want to interfere for demonic cultivators? We won’t go easy on you just because you’re young.”

“Cut the crap, I came to stomp you!” Gu Santong stuck out his head and charged. 

Demon Scheming Sect was shocked and praised him. 

[How brave!]

[Like father like son, they’re both stubborn.]

Mystical Heaven Sect clenched their fists, clear this was a demon in the making that was treating everyone beneath him. They had to get rid of him now.

The elder smirked and nodded, “Fine then, since you’ve been taken in by the demonic path even at your young age, then the four of us will have to cleanse you and release you from your mortal coil!”

The four made signs and with a draconic roar, a dragon soul shot for Gu Santong.

Everyone was shocked, worried for the sweet child. Then they looked at Zhuo Fan. 

[Aren’t you going to rescue your own son?]

Zhuo Fan just stood there with a smile.

“Hypocrite, get in here and fight. Stop with your prattle! You’re nothing more than a bunch of hypocrites using numbers!”

Seeing the dragon about to strike, Gu Santong mocked, flicking his hand at it.

Bam!

With a loud explosion, the dragon was sent flying with a wail before anyone could react, back to its circle. 

The four elders shook, not believing their eyes a child was capable of so much power to bash their earth dragon soul away.

Gu Santong wasn’t finished with his attack, he stomped and was right in front of their spinning circle. He let his almighty fist smash down on them. 

Boom!

With another explosion, the yellow dragon constantly floating around the circle had its body cave in and cry in pain. Its body was broken and turned into pretty lights before vanishing. 

As for the circle, with the vanishing of the dragon, the power of his strike traveled straight for the four, who lifted a hand to block.

Bam~

The four were sent hundreds of meters away. They were forced to open their eyes at last, having no luxury to show off any longer.

Looking at Gu Santong, they had shock painted on their faces.

“W-what the hell are you?”

“Oh, you weren’t blind? I thought you were cripples so I held back. Damn fakers, ruining my sympathy. Now I see there’s no need to anymore.”

Gu Santong clenched his fist and mocked.

The audience was still very much out of it after seeing a seven year old brat punch the four old freaks.

[No wonder Steward Zhuo says he’s his ace. He was serious!]

[But what the hell, there’s just one freakier than the next!]

Looking from Gu Santong to Zhuo Fan, they sighed, having no idea what to call them anymore.

[How are we supposed to make a living with so many monsters around…]
