Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats Chapter 42 42: The Breaking Point
"Uncle rrick, why are you making a fuss about so lowly Spirit Labourers?"
A man in his twenties scoffed at rrick and sneered, "And what rule did I break, exactly?"
Across from him, rrick knelt beside a middle-aged man lying unconscious on the ground, carefully checking his pulse.
Next to rrick, a woman sobbed uncontrollably, her face covered in tears as she looked at the unconscious man.
"He can be saved, right?"
The woman asked rrick while sobbing.
"He is alive. He is just unconscious due to the severe blood loss from the severed leg."
The physician brought by rrick spoke in a heavy tone.
"..."
rrick was unable to find words to console the woman when he looked at the missing leg of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was none other than Garrick, and the sobbing woman was Vera.
While they were tending to the Spirit Plants in the Spirit Field, a group of cultivators appeared and destroyed the Spirit Plants.
Without any delay, they quickly called for help from rrick; however, the attackers severed Garrick's leg, making him handicapped for life.
"Harming the other family's Spirit Labourers is strictly forbidden, and you still dare to ask what rule you broke?"
rrick clenched his fists in anger as he looked at the man nad Elias Feng and angrily shouted.
There were many cultivation families in the world other than the Lin Family.
The Feng Family is one of the rival cultivation families surrounding the Lin Family's territory.
Other than the Lin and Feng Families, there are three other cultivation families, forming a union, creating so rules among themselves for co-existing in the region.
Among those rules, not harming the Spirit Labourers was one of them because all five families relied on Spirit Plants and Spirit Labourers should not be hard at any cost.
"A small correction… killing the Spirit Labourers was forbidden. Not harming them."
Elias Feng chuckled as he curiously asked, "Don't tell you are going to fight for cutting off a Spirit Labourer's leg?"
As soon as Elias finished his words, the group of cultivators behind him entered into a fighting mode, ready to take action if rrick attacked their young master.
'He brought more than a dozen Qi Refining Cultivators with him. Fighting him won't do any good to us.'
rrick looked at the strong fighters brought by Elias whereas he only brought six fighters from his family.
If he started fighting, rrick knew that none of them could leave this place and controlled his anger.
"You… why did you harm a Spirit Labourer in the first place?"
rrick asked Elias to know why he attacked them suddenly.
"Uncle rrick, you are intelligent enough to find it out."
Elias didn't face rrick as he turned around and said, "Let's leave."
"Huh?"
rrick raised his brows and suddenly thought of sothing, 'Don't tell it is because of that.'
Looking at the Feng Family cultivators who were about to leave, rrick thought in his head, 'How did the Feng Family find out about it?'
rrick didn't stop them because he could not stop them even if he wanted to.
"Where do you think you are going after harming my parents?"
Suddenly, an angry voice resounded from the distance, and rrick felt a silhouette fly past him at an incredible speed.
'Slash'
'Slash'
'Swoosh'
'Slash'
Before anyone could realize what's happening, the more than a dozen Feng Family cultivators fell to the ground with looks of shock and terror on their faces.
"Kai"
Vera grew even more emotional at the sight of the newcor, who was none other than her son, and her crying increased.
Yet, amidst her tears, a faint hint of relief flickered in her eyes as she noticed the fallen cultivators and called out her son's na.
The newcor was none other than Ethan, who used the Great Completion Stage Mastery of the Shadow Steps to rush to this place.
Seeing his unconscious father who was missing a leg, and his crying mother who was also covered in injuries, Ethan's rage beca uncontrollable.
In the next second, using his cultivation technique, Ethan moved like a ghost as he killed all the Feng Family Cultivators except for the so-called Elias Feng.
"I am sorry, Mother. I am late."
Ethan looked at his mother with tears in his eyes as he apologized.
"Kai…."
Vera wanted to say more; however, she could not say anything… to be exact, she didn't know what to say.
"Uncle rrick, please take my parents to the Healing Pavilion?"
Ethan controlled his emotions before asking rrick, who nodded his head and instructed his loyal subordinates to take care of Ethan's parents.
Soon, everyone left except for Ethan, rrick, and Elias Feng, who anxiously asked Ethan, "Y-you… you are the son of those Spirit Labourers??"
Elias Feng was thoroughly shocked with the death of his guards and knew the other party was a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
"Sir, I am sorry I didn't know they were Sir's parents. I will make sure my Feng Family compensates for my actions and sincerely apologize."
So, he quickly used his family's na to stop the other party from killing him.
Feng Family's ancestor was a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, and it was also the reason why Elias was always arrogant in his actions.
Nevertheless, after witnessing the death of his guards, Elias was not arrogant; in fact, he even fell to his knees to apologize to Ethan.
"Tell the reason why you severed my father's leg?"
The reason for not killing him was not because Ethan was worried about the Feng Family; instead, he wanted to find out the exact reason behind his actions.
"..."
Elias remained silent, making Ethan release his cultivation aura to suffocate him.
"I will tell… I will tell you. The Feng Family learned that four Lin Family's Spirit Labourers were able to cultivate Good Quality Silverstem Flowers. If it continues, our Feng Family will lose its market."
"So, my father sent two groups to take care of those Spirit Labourers, and two of those Spirit Labourers turned out to be Sir's parents."
Elias knew that the only way to get out of here alive was by telling the truth, and so, he did say the truth behind his actions.
"What? Just because of that?"
Ethan was shocked at Elias' words and burned with rage.
"Sir, it might seem simple; however, if it continued….."
Elias explained; however, the more he explained, the more furious Ethan beca.
"Sir, I know the Feng Family is in the wrong but please spare ."
Amidst his explanation, Elias continued to beg Ethan.
"Kai, I think it is best to spare his life for you because killing him will result in a Family War between the Lin and Feng Families."
rrick knew his words might sound harsh; however, as one of the Family Heads of the Lin Family, he knew how much destruction a Family War could cause.
"Uncle rrick"
Ethan was shocked by rrick's words as he didn't expect to hear that from rrick.
"Kai, if a war starts, do you know how many will die? Even if we win the war against the Feng Family, it's not worth it."
rrick gritted his teeth as he asked Ethan to spare Elias' life.
'Excellent. I knew that rrick is a peace-loving person; however, I didn't expect him to be a complete coward.'
On the other hand, when he heard rrick's words, Elias celebrated in his heart.
"Phew…. I got it now."
Ethan took a deep breath as he nodded his head, making Elias hurriedly thank, "Sir, thanks for sparing my life. As soon as I return to the Feng Family, I will co back with my father to offer my sincere apologies."
With that, Elias turned around to leave.
"Who said you can leave?"
However, Ethan's voice stopped Elias in his tracks as he heard Ethan's cold voice, "Uncle rrick, today, I learned how foolish I was."
"Kai, what are you talking about?"
When he heard Ethan's words, rrick had a bad feeling in his head.
"I believed that by joining the Lin Family, I and my parents could beco a part of the family; however, I was wrong."
"In the eyes of the Lin Family, we will always be outsiders… especially my parents who can be easily replaced by other Spirit Labourers."
Ethan spoke in a calm but cold voice.
"Kai, it's not how you…."
"Uncle rrick, answer this question, and I will do whatever you say."
Before rrick could finish his words, Ethan interrupted and asked rrick a question, "If one of the direct descendants of the Lin Family got their leg severed, would the Lin Family still say the sa thing as you said to just now?"
'...'
rrick couldn't answer that question because they would have killed Elias without any hesitation and thought of the consequences later.
"If that's how things work with the Lin Family, then I don't want to be a part of such a family that can't protect its outside mbers."
"Uncle rrick, listen carefully. From today onwards, I am no longer a mber of the Lin Family and whoever I kill has nothing to do with the Lin Family."
With each word Ethan spoke, the colder his voice beca as he ended his words by saying, "Since I am no longer a mber of Lin Family, killing this b*stard won't start a Family War, right? Even if it does, that doesn't have anything to do with ?"
"Did you hear that? I don't belong to the Lin Family, and I am the sole person who is responsible for my actions. Now, die."
Before Elias could speak, he saw Ethan's cold face right in front of his eyes before his surroundings started spinning and in the end, he noticed a familiar headless body.
"Uncle rrick, I am leaving the Family now."
