Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

Jiang Dali’s face broke into a mocking, disdainful smile as he spoke with hands clasped behind his back.

”Since you’re already kneeling, why not do so with a bit more sincerity? Don’t you even want to lower yourself further when begging for mercy?”

”I beg Master Jiang to forgive me; I realize my mistake.”

The swordsman serving as a guest elder didn’t hesitate to fall to his knees with a thud.

He even buried his head very low.

This was clearly a person who could both hold his ground and let go with grace.

Such individuals usually live long and are quite fearsome.

Another person struggled with their expression, but still followed suit, falling to their knees and pleading in a hoarse voice.

Jiang Dali said indifferently, ”You know you’ve made a mistake? What did you do wrong?”

The sword-bearing guest elder frowned, lifted his head and hurriedly said, ”I know my mistake, I lacked eye power and dared to speak so irreverently to Master Jiang. It was a great disrespect and offense to you; I was blind.”

The other person nodded, ”Me. I did the same.”

”Hahahahaha!”

Jiang Dali burst into laughter, then suddenly stopped and said, ”Forgiveness, for someone who knows they have done wrong, is the greatest punishment.

If you do not feel the punishment, you have not truly acknowledged your fault.”

The face of the swordsman changed drastically, ”No! That’s not true, Master Jiang!”

”Ah, the injustice! I can’t take it anymore.”

The swordsman holding the saber suddenly roared, sprang up, and thrust at Jiang Dali with a fierce expression, the tip of his saber emitting a powerful Saber Qi.

”Such an outrage!——”

The demeanor of the sword-bearing guest elder instantly shifted from hesitation to determination.

With a fierce shout, he thrust out his sword without a moment’s hesitation, as the nimble swordsmanship reappeared.

For a moment, Saber Qi and Sword Qi clashed fiercely, sword glares and saber lights shone like the bright moon above, mercury spilling over the ground, illuminating Yiqi Hall several degrees brighter.

”Sword glares and saber lights... this scene, such an atmosphere, should enhance the thrill of killing...”

Watching the approaching swords and sabers, Jiang Dali’s expression remained calm as he suddenly extended his hands from behind his back.

One hand formed a sword-finger, accurately and precisely touched the incoming long saber.

The other hand released a burst of overwhelming Nine Yang Inner Power with a backhand, shattering the drifting Sword Qi instantly.

Clang and crash!

The long saber, under the fearsome power of the One Yang Finger Force, instantly crumbled and shattered inch by inch.

The potent Finger Force even tore through the air, creating sharp airwaves, and in an instant, it penetrated the saber-wielding swordsman’s brow.

”You villain— I’ll fight you with everything I’ve got!!”

The sword-bearing guest elder screamed in horror and suddenly let go of his sword, diving into Jiang Dali’s arms like a swallow returning to its nest, and slammed his palm hard against Jiang Dali’s chest.

Bang crack!——

An unnerving snap erupted abruptly.

”Ah ah— my hand——”

The face of the sword-bearing guest elder twisted in agony; his hand that struck Jiang Dali’s chest felt as if it had been struck by lightning, the bones trembling with the sound of cracking, his body propelled backward by a formidable force for seven or eight steps.

”Anyone who knows of my name, generally won’t pick a fight with me.”

Jiang Dali’s mouth curved with pride, his body emitting a terrifying Nine Yang aura like a tank suddenly barreling past, his fist smashing fiercely into the body of the sword-bearing guest elder.

Boom!

The sword-bearing guest elder spewed blood and flew out of Yiqi Hall like a cannonball, landing heavily on the ground.

His body unnaturally arched like a lobster, lifeless.

Xiong Ba’s body trembled a few times; he slowly opened his eyes and saw the three Guest Elders’ bodies laying sprawled on the street, his expression full of sorrow and helplessness.

”Alas! Why bother? I told you earlier to stay calm; by no means should you have engaged in combat.”

The lives of the people in the Martial World are rootless.

Just like leaves in the wind or duckweed on water.

These damn fools might have walked into Ghost Gate the very moment they stepped into Black Wind Village and not even known it.

”The usual rule, scavenge everything from their bodies, throw the corpses out, clean and tidy up the place.”

Jiang Dali glanced at the corpses on the ground, instructing with a calm demeanor.

Xiong Ba hastily stepped forward to ask, ”Brother... Village Chief, although these guest elders deserve to die,

after all, they are from the Li Family. Now that they’ve been killed, are we completely breaking with the Li Family?”

Jiang Dali glanced at Xiong Ba and said leisurely, ”Once I wasn’t the Village Chief and didn’t care whose pawn Black Wind Village was.

But now that I am the Village Chief, we will be nobody’s pawn.

No matter the Li Family or the power behind them.

Once they could control and use us, now, at most, we can only use each other.”

Xiong Ba was at a loss for words.

He really wanted to express his anxiety.

But when he thought about the divine skills his brother now possessed.

Even Lu Xiaofeng, a well-known hero in the Martial World, treated him as a sworn brother.

The Li Family truly had no right to boss his brother around.

However, the change had occurred too quickly and too violently, leaving him struggling to adapt in such a short time.

”Don’t worry, we still have time to develop. Once we rise again, not to mention the Li Family, even the power behind them will only be able to court us, not act arrogantly.”

Jiang Dali patted Xiong Ba on the shoulder, ”You also need to quickly improve your strength and break through to the Inner Qi Realm soon, or else it’ll be very difficult to command respect from the newcomers in the mountain village.”

Xiong Ba shuddered, his lips numb, ”Alright, brother, but after all, the Li Family has some connections in court.

We besieged them before, and now we have offended Li Hengfei to death. If the court...”

”Is the Li Family’s ass clean?”

Jiang Dali scoffed with a cold look in his eyes, ”You don’t need to worry about things that don’t concern you. Go on.”

Back in the courtyard, Jiang Dali sent a letter to Li Hengfei, the Li Family Master.

The letter was not filled with obsequious prose but had a casual and amiable ”Strong Style”.

In essence, it said, ”The three Guest Elders who arrived all unfortunately fell from their horses and died at the foot of the mountain.

Such trash need not be sent to shame themselves further.

If the Li Family Master genuinely wishes to assist the Black Wind Four Villages, send someone of use.

The people from the Ru Yang Royal Mansion are quite decent...perhaps they might uphold the reputation of our Black Wind Four Villages.”

This letter was not merely a simple provocation, but also contained a veiled warning to the Li Family.

Implying that he, Jiang Dali, was well aware that the Ru Yang Royal Mansion was the power behind the Li Family.

Advising them to be aware of the risks and consequences involved.

After sending the letter, Jiang Dali could even imagine Li Hengfei’s expression.

If things went as expected, the Li Family would likely respond with a furious, thunderous retaliation, attempting to eradicate someone who knew their secret.

Of course, there was also a slight chance that the Li Family, upon hearing of his stalemate battle with Lu Xiaofeng, might choose to temporarily keep the peace, reporting the matter to the Ru Yang Royal Mansion and asking the mansion’s experts to sanction Black Wind Village.

Regardless of which choice the Li Family made, Jiang Dali was confident that he could handle it.

Therefore, after the letter was sent, he no longer focused on this matter.

Instead, he continued to patiently wait for Demon Hawk’s mutation to complete while starting to practice diligently within the village.

As the saying goes, the more you beat a drum, the louder it sounds; the more you practice martial arts, the sharper they become. Punching strengthens the bones, and kicking keeps the limbs agile.

Cultivation Points and Potential Points could indeed rapidly enhance one’s Martial Arts Realm.

But as someone with experience, Jiang Dali was also clearly aware of the difference between theoretical knowledge and practical application.

Martial Arts are not instantaneously mastered.

If the Martial Arts Realm advanced but was not constantly practiced and applied in real combat,

it was very likely that one would panic during an actual fight.

Because techniques are rigid, people are flexible.

If a person is also rigid, then whatever martial arts they learned would also be ineffective.

Just like Duan Yu, initially having great fortune, mastering the Beiming Divine Skill and Wave-skimming Light Step, but easily captured by Jiumozhi, and later learning the Six Meridian Divine Sword but still tormented by Murong Fu, which is an example of failing due to a lack of combat experience.

Jiang Dali secluded himself in the mountain village, practicing non-stop.

He only occasionally remotely managed and issued daily tasks to the Players, his martial arts growing more proficient with each day of refinement.

As for common Mortal Martial Arts like the Tiger Evil Golden Ring Saber, they significantly improved with the theoretical aid of the Nine Yang Scripture, rapidly increasing in proficiency with practice.

...

On the third day.

A mountain bandit disciple suddenly reported,

”Master, a woman at the foot of the mountain requests to see you. She says she is Lu Xiaofeng’s friend and needs your help with something.”

Jiang Dali was vigorously training his punches against the battered wooden stakes around him, ”bang bang bang.”

Like a Vajra descending, his muscular figure shone with a hard bronze tinge under the sunlight.

Droplets of sweat rolled off his body like oil on a hot pan, dripping onto the ground.

Upon hearing the report, his punches flew even faster.

Striking the surrounding wooden stakes, shattering them into sawdust that exploded and flew far away.

The entire area filled with breath-suffocating, fearsome fist winds.

Jiang Dali’s voice came out cold and detached,

”I will not meet her! Women do not affect the power of my punches, I’m not Lu Xiaofeng, and I have no obligation to do anything for a woman.”
