Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

”Having slain the Inner Power Realm’s martial artist, Liu Yegui of the Three Shadows Sword, a reward of 30 Potential Points, 20 Cultivation Points, and 30 reputation in the martial world is obtained.”

As Liu Yegui was eliminated, a notification also appeared on Jiang Dali’s panel.

Compared to the last assassination of Qiu Xue Mei, who was also in the Inner Qi Realm, the rewards in terms of Potential Points were undoubtedly much less.

However, this was because Jiang Dali was now at the same level of strength as Liu Yegui, while in the previous assassination of Qiu Xue Mei, it was considered a cross-level kill.

Jiang Dali didn’t place much importance on these little rewards of Potential Points and Cultivation Points.

In the Mixed Martial Arts World, the only effective way to quickly gain Cultivation Points and Potential Points wasn’t to kill NPCs.

Otherwise, with so many players and NPCs unable to revive, no matter how powerful they are, they would eventually be eradicated over time.

The most effective ways to acquire Cultivation Points and Potential Points were to complete faction missions and various triggered tasks, get involved in the plots of various sects, or find Heavenly Talent and Earthly Treasures like the Blood Bodhi or thousand-year-old red fruit to consume, which could yield a large number of Cultivation Points and Potential Points.

Jiang Dali searched the corpse, taking all the items from Liu Yegui’s body, especially his famed weapon, the Three Shadows Sword, which would serve as one of the tokens for his mission submission.

”You have obtained a silver note of 500 taels and a second-grade Sharp Weapon, the Three Shadows Sword.”

The Three Shadows Sword was a short sword only as long as an adult’s forearm, with a very peculiar shape; its back featured three outward flaring blood grooves like the wings of a bird.

When this sword was swung a bit faster during an attack, under the sunlight’s refraction, it would create the illusion of producing three trails of sword light, hence it was named the Three Shadows Sword.

Liu Yegui’s renown and strength were partly dependent on the special properties of this second-grade Sharp Weapon.

However, it was unfortunate for him that he encountered Jiang Dali, who was nearly at the outstanding level with his Iron Cloth Shirt and Golden Body Skill, and also wore the first-grade protective gear, golden silk armor, completely countering the lethal damage of the Three Shadows Sword.

Packing up his belongings.

Jiang Dali placed Liu Yegui’s corpse along with two dead beggars together, covered them with dry straw from the temple, then immediately turned and left.

A life in the martial world ends in the martial world.

Jiang Dali didn’t have any special emotions about having killed Liu Yegui.

In his view of the Mixed Martial Arts World, from a god-like perspective, what the players experienced might just be a game, an entertainment.

But what Liu Yegui and other native NPCs experienced was a real life of flesh and blood; the difference, only he who was mixed between players and native NPCs, could truly understand, filled with a sense of wonder.

...

A day later.

Inside the bamboo house at the Qingyi Building stronghold.

A female Silver Medal Assassin looked at the Three Shadows Sword placed on the table with barely concealed surprise, couldn’t help picking it up to examine, and stood up to praise Jiang Dali, ”I didn’t expect you to have smoothly taken down Liu Yegui, even though he was just a Bronze Medal Assassin, he still had a vast amount of combat experience. You did very well.”

Jiang Dali smiled calmly, ”I just used a bit of brains.”

”A killer who uses his brain is indeed an outstanding killer!”

The woman slightly nodded, her eyes barely visible beneath her veil twinkling with a smile, ”Well done, you are now considered a Silver Medal Assassin. The appointment token will be issued soon. You can now enjoy the treatment of a Silver Medal Assassin of the Qingyi Building.”

It was also at this time that Jiang Dali received a notification on his panel.

”You have completed the mission ’Deal with the Traitor of Qingyi Building’ and received the mission rewards: Promoted to a Silver Medal Assassin of the Qingyi Building, Qingyi Building contribution increased by 100, Cultivation Points increased by 100, Potential Points increased by 200, reputation in the martial world increased by 100.”

”Excellent!”

Jiang Dali inwardly praised.

The promotion in status held his attention far more than the acquisition of Cultivation Points and Potential Points.

After becoming a Silver Medal Assassin of the Qingyi Building, he was able to access more intelligence and required fewer contribution points.

He casually chatted with the woman for a few moments and learned that her family name was Xu, known as Xu Foreign Affairs, a Silver Medal Assassin like him, yet already possessing the strength of the Outer Qi Realm.

At that moment, two screams echoed from outside the bamboo house.

He turned to look through the window.

He saw Lang Ji Hongchen and two others entering the bamboo house to challenge again, but they were instantly killed by the Nameless Swordsman guarding the house.

Only Lang Ji Hongchen, sensing the danger, clumsily fled from the bamboo forest.

However, the Nameless Swordsman did not pursue; he just indifferently watched Lang Ji Hongchen escape and casually flicked the clothes of the two who had died and turned into white light with his sword, throwing them out of the forest.

”These three are very strange and interesting, natural Abnormal People with Immortal Bodies; no matter the method, they cannot be killed. Other strongholds have already absorbed some Abnormal People into our Qingyi Building. I also intend to recruit these three.”

The woman saw Jiang Dali looking out the window and smiled lightly.

Jiang Dali’s heart stirred, and he asked, ”I have also seen such Abnormal People before. Now it seems there are many of them appearing all around. Our Qingyi Building’s intelligence network is so powerful, have you investigated why these Abnormal People are so peculiar?”

The woman shook her head, ”I am not sure about that. However, so far, all discovered Abnormal People are very weak, no different from ordinary humans. They possess strange talents but are really easy to defeat.

But now, all sects value the talents of the Abnormal People, widely receiving them into their sects, testing their will before teaching them Martial Arts, hoping to use the power of the Abnormal People to strengthen the sects.

I even heard that some bandit mountain villages are setting their sights on these Abnormal People.

It’s a rare human resource, and we in the Qingyi Building certainly can’t let it go, but a thorough test before recruitment is necessary.

Many Tower Masters say that the talents of the Abnormal People are strong, and core Martial Arts should not be lightly taught, nor should they be rashly given important tasks, to prevent biting the hand that feeds.”

”This makes sense.”

Jiang Dali smiled and nodded.

Facing a group of potentially Immortal Abnormal People, though a rare ”sustainable resource,” the natives of the Mixed Martial Arts World also maintained a cautious attitude, which was very natural.

This was also why players in the past life found it difficult to learn high-end Martial Arts and even more difficult to become high-status figures in major sects.

After chatting with Xu Foreign Affairs for a while, Jiang Dali took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.

Riding on horseback on the road, he happened to glimpse two players, who had just resurrected from the City God Temple, rushing over to meet Lang Ji Hongchen.

All three wide-eyed rookies looked at him riding away with admiration and aspiration, appearing disheveled and somewhat dazed.

On horseback, under the swaying veil, Jiang Dali’s mouth curled slightly.

The breeze brushed his face, the peach blossoms still blooming, the past unfolded as if it were just yesterday—yet seemed as elusive as floating clouds, he felt like he vaguely saw some shadows of his past life.

On the road of the Martial World, who hasn’t dreamed of being a hero to ride the world, not thought of fighting lonely cities on rainy nights, not desired to hear the clash of swords at dawn, not wished to drink wine under the flowers and compose amidst the dance of flames...

But before becoming a hero, the image of that silly boy clamoring to learn Martial Arts, full of earthy charm, seemed equally evocative.

It seems that we all come through this.

”Life is like a dream, a fantasy—let past and present be, ha ha ha, what a farce!”

Jiang Dali laughed loudly, lifting his flask to drink deeply.

Drive—

Clatter clatter clatter—

On the road of the Martial World, mud flew, hoofs faster, a trail of dust...
