Chapter 7
“Now then…what should I do to you two?”
Said Youdi Murash. There is a hidden flicker inside his eyes when he saw Esrad’s hair. Of course no one knows but himself what he thinking right now is.
Yuwan look at each other, not sure what they should do. Actually, Yuwan cannot even stand up at this time.
Yuwan afraid that, if he got a beating anymore than this, he would faint without a doubt. On the other hand, Esrad didn’t say anything, only silently watching Youdi for whatever he is going to do.
“How about cripple your hands yourself?”
But both of them went pale when they heard what Youdi said. Youdi actually release his killing intent many times stronger and thicker compared with Esrad’s. In truth, that killing intent that Youdi shows is only a portion of it.
‘Goh, look carefully and contemplate it. And you can tell what the difference between you and them is’
Said Youdi toward his son with very low voice. His voice overlapped by the winding sound, which only could be heard by Goh.
Goh, as someone who already being humiliate by Yuwan and Esrad, only shallow back his resentment and displeasure. Even though Goh didn’t like it, going against his father is the last thing he would do.
“It seem like you brat still didn’t understand a thing”
Youdi said again, while he took a step forward toward Yuwan and Esrad while releasing his pressure. No one knows but Youdi himself that he releases a pressure a little bit off from already what Yuwan’s and Esrad’s body could endure.
Even Youdi purposely let his son, Goh, to feel what Yuwan and Esrad feel right now with weaker pressure and killing intent than them.
“Hiii!!” Scream Goh.
Goh crawled back with his butt still touch the ground seemingly really scared out of his wit with cold sweat poured out uncontrollably. The pressure which feels like a big boulder pressing his body, making him having a hard time to breathe. Cold killing seep in from his pores toward his heart, as if making a cut on it making him so terrified that his leg going weak.
But when he realized that the one his father targeting is not him, he start to relax his body, letting out a relief sigh. But when Goh change his sight toward Yuwan and Esrad, a shock filled face and mind.
“”GUH!!””
These two surprisingly only let out one grunted voice, didn’t retreated a single step, without horror expression on their face, only seems like their face seems paler and sweat poured out from their face.
“You two, stand up”, order Youdi. Of course they can’t say no so they both standing up, with Yuwan staggering about before he can stand straight by Esrad’s help. Yuwan breathing seems rather heavy, but he start to control his breathing, trying to calm himself.
That’s make Goh surprised yet again.
Goh himself still feels his limb go weak. If he was told to stand up now, he didn’t dare to believe that he would be able to stand up immediately.
“I would give you a chance, the one who tried to kill my son, step forward. I would only cripple both his hand and we are done.”
What Youdi said only puzzled both Esrad and Yuwan, and Goh. Youdi clearly heard who is the one who humiliate, who the one who try to kill Goh.
This is a chance who Youdi gave himself. What would you do? Sacrifice yourself to protect other? Sell your friend to protect yourself? Or begging for forgiveness?
Whatever their choice were, there is not a single one of them is easy to choose. Yuwan and Esrad, already know what Youdi intention is, start to gulp while looking at each other face.
After gazing each other for a moment, Esrad said, “You would not take back your word right?”
“I’m the one who is asking here”
Esrad question only answered by Youdi stone cold reply.
They didn’t say a thing afterward, only nodding at each other with a slight smile on their face.
But afterward it changes into fearless smile while they said,
“”WHY DON’T YOU GO GET IT YOURSELF!””
Shock filled up both Goh and Youdi’s face. Even the not far away the twin seems shocked by their answer.
Sacrifice yourself to protect other? I don’t want to be crippled yet!
Sell your friend to protect yourself? In your Dream!
Or begging for forgiveness? We would rather die!
Fight!! That is their answer!
“Now I changed my mind completely. I will kill whoever he is who tried to kill my son before. But if there is no one who would stand forward from both of you for 5 second, I will kill you both.”
Youdi Murash didn’t spout nonsense any longer. He knows what the brat thinking right now.
In the cultivation world, only strongest would be able to judge. There is no knowing whether Yuwan and Esrad would be spared afterward. Youdi may cripple both of them while Yuwan and Ersad couldn’t do a thing. So, rather than giving up, they choose to fight until the end.
When Youdi saw the determination on their eyes, Youdi starts to release denser killing intent. The grasses around him start to sway wildly, while Youdi killing intent pressure both Yuwan and Esrad.
“1...”
Feeling intense killing intense pressuring their bodies, Yuwan and Esrad bodies began to shaking.
“2…”
But they didn’t retreat a single step, while Youdi began closer and closer with them. Actually, Yuwan starts to glance around wildly as if searching for something. Whatever Yuwan looking for, there wouldn’t be anyone around.
“3…”
Every step Youdi took, his pressure become stronger. It is make Yuwan and Esrad couldn’t help but stagger back a few steps. Seeing this, Goh actually sneering at Yuwan and Esrad on his heart. Goh feel likes he didn’t deserve to be scolded by his father. That is why, he actually feels joy on his heart when he saw Yuwan glancing around wildly as if looking for help.
Suddenly, Yuwan stop glancing around and starts to dash toward Youdi. Esrad seems surprised, but he didn’t ask a thing seemingly knew what is in his friends mind.
Yuwan in the front, Esrad behind him. Whether Yuwan like it or not, his body couldn’t move like his mind wanted to.
“4…”
Yuwan keeps stumbling every now and then, trying to endure Youdi pressure with all of his might so that he won’t fainted yet.
But because Yuwan position didn’t that far from Youdi, he already in front of Youdi who still taking a step forward without caring about Yuwan.

Buk!
Punched Yuwan directly on Youdi’s stomach with all of his remaining strength. Yuwan’s punch toward Youdi’s stomach creates a rather weird muffled sound. But as expected, it didn’t work at all. Esrad who’s behind Yuwan, didn’t seems perturbed at all and going around Yuwan. He starts to circulate all of his profound Qi without restraint on his clenched hand and swing it right on Youdi’s back head.
Bang!
Just like Yuwan, it didn’t work out. Even though Esrad was stronger than Yuwan, it seems like Youdi was on a whole different realm. Actually, it is not it seems. Both Yuwan and Esrad knew it from the beginning that they wouldn’t be able to injure Youdi. They just don’t want to cast away their pride on their last moment.
“…5”
At this time Youdi began to move. Youdi kick Yuwan in the front and grab the neck of Esrad from his back.
Bang!
“Gah!”
Yuwan flung away 5 meter while coughing a blood before collapsed to the ground. But he didn’t stop and Yuwan keep thrown backward until it reach 15 meters. Yuwan cough a mouthful of once again before he fainted with white eyes.
“Guh!”
Grunt Esrad at the same time with Yuwan. But before Esrad could make another sound, Esrad was thrown to the ground and then kicked by Youdi toward Yuwan collapsed body.
Bam! Bang!
Like Yuwan, Esrad Cough a mouthful of blood before fainting. The until now grassy plain becomes messed up over here and there with a trail of blood sprouted everywhere.
On the other hand, Goh who is watching the whole scene keep showing wicked smile without restraint. In Goh mind, both Yuwan and Esrad was complete idiot.
First, they dare not to accept his father kindness. Whether it is scarifying yourself or other, it doesn’t matter at all. If one of them just steps forward, one of them would go home unscathed. Of course that is just a mere speculation. Even Goh himself didn’t know whether His father would go back on his word or not, but at least it is worth a try.
Second, if they don’t want to sacrifice anyone, just give up or beg for forgiveness. Instead, they dare to attack while challenging his father. That is really idiot decision on Goh’s eyes. Goh couldn’t help but start imagining Yuwan and Esrad bodies turn into mincemeat, making his wicked smile grew even wider.
When Youdi Murash began walking toward Yuwan and Esrad collapsed body, Youdi eye widen and his pupil shrinking into a dot. Youdi stop his walk, standing there quietly, not even his son and the twin know what Youdi thinking is. Youdi seems contemplate something while looking at Esrad hair until his face become that of amazement.
Murash Clan mansion, in the corridor of the mansion.
Middle-age man with black robe walking with his back straight walking slowly makes his long brown hair fluttering slightly. On his face, strict black eyes and a really stand out scar causing his somber expression become scarier.
Behind, a youth with the same characteristic with middle-age man and the twin following him quietly as if afraid to make even a slightest sound.
They are Youdi Murash, Goh Murash, and the Twin.
Goh Murash, who from the grassy plain until now didn’t make a sound, began fidgeting anxiously as if he is struggling whether he would say something or not. After struggling for who knows how many time if counted, Goh lip begun parting while he asks his father.
“Father, may ask something”
“…What is it?”
“Why you didn’t do a thing to that Yuwan and purple haired brat?”
Like what Goh said, Youdi Murash didn’t do a thing toward Yuwan and Esrad. After he stood for a while without saying a thing, Youdi Murash leave just like that without a word. That made Goh puzzled to the extreme, but he didn’t said a word and just quietly follow his father go home.
“…I’m asking you to look carefully toward those brat reactions. What do you think?”
“…”
Youdi Murash didn’t directly answer his son question, but instead ask him back. Goh didn't know why his father not answer his question directly, but he didn't dare to ask. So he only need a few moment to contemplate before answering.
“They are an idiot. There is a really easy answer, but they didn’t choose it and instead fight back.”
On Goh tone of voice, confidence clearly shown as if he want to show the world that his answer were the right, the most logical answer person would ever had.
Are they an Idiot? If I were they, I would order my partner to step forward and he would be grateful because he would sacrifice himself for “I” Goh Murash, could be interpret easily by his answer.
“…if they were you, what will you do?”
“If I was they, I would rather choose…”
“You are not choosing”
But, not even finish his sentence yet, Goh answer was cut off by his father somber yet strict reply. By Youdi word alone, Goh could tell that his father was rather angry.
“…You are not choosing Goh, but you will be chosen.”
“…”
Goh didn’t know how to reply. He actually didn’t understand what his father mean is. But it only last for a moment after Youdi explanation.
“You know exactly how much you were scared by my pressure. Scared, to the point your limb feels weak, you had a hard time to breath, and your body shaking. When you are like that, your partner would throw you forward and I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t have any strength to retaliate at all.”
“…There…is…no way I would become…like that.” Reply Goh weakly.
There is not even a tint of confidence and arrogant like he usually has on his answer. His step become slower and slower until he completely stops his walk, while he lower his head weakly.
Silence
On his face, reluctant was clearly shown as if he doesn’t want to believe it. But, deep on Goh heart, he can’t refute his father statement. Youdi and the twin couldn’t help but stop their track too. After a few breath of moment, Youdi said,
“…Contemplate it seriously Goh. What you need right now is not stronger cultivation base, but mentality.”
Goh only silently stood there, aura of depression lurking out from all of his body filling the Murash clan mansion corridor.
“…but that reason is not enough for me to slap you, my own son, in front of other”
But after hearing his father last sentence, Goh body shake violently and his depression aura abruptly change into aura of curiosity.
That is the most important thing Goh confuse of!!
Why father slap me? Ok I’m in the wrong before, but he never got slapped by father before. Is there another reason for it? Was lurking annoyingly on Goh mind the entire time ever since he was slapped by his father, there got to be reason, there got to be answer.
He just couldn’t understand his father reasoning and didn’t dare asking for an explanation.
“…because I’m afraid that you already offend the wrong person”
But after hearing his father answer, his body stiffened.
