Indestructible Body Of Vajra Of The Village Leader

”Black Wind Village Chief!”

Wu Lie’s expression shifted abruptly from confusion to utter solemnity, gloom, and apprehension. He no longer cared about the two gravely injured mountain bandits still standing across from him; his eyes were fixed on Jiang Dali at the door, his voice hoarse with the low shout.

”Are you the Black Wind Village Chief, Jiang Dali? The man who killed my elder brother, Zhu Changling?”

As Wu Lie uttered these words, his heart trembled. Though he seemed angry on the surface, fear mingled with his rage, and his heart began to sink.

His purpose in coming here had been to seek strong allies to deal with this Black Wind Village Chief.

He had never expected the man to take the initiative and come to him.

A man capable of killing his elder brother, Zhu Changling.

A master with an exotic beast mount approaching of his own accord—how could this bode well?

”Black Wind Village Chief? Black Wind King!”

Inside the inn, pairs of terrified, fearful eyes all fixated on the tall figure at the door, some people’s legs already beginning to tremble.

The figure wore black Strong Clothes bulging with muscles and a Black Cloak that touched the ground. His short black hair bristled with sharpness.

Especially those bright, wild eyes beneath bushy brows; a single sweep across the room was like a powerful light flashing by, making everyone feel as if a knife had scraped across their faces.

The moment everyone saw this man, they all had the same thought—by all means, avoid clashing head-on with this person!

”Warning! Warning! You have entered the town of Luoyun Town in Su State. Your arrival has already alarmed the town’s soldiers and the Government Officials. You may be subjected to their hostile attacks at any moment!”

...

”Notice: Your infamy has now spread beyond Hui Prefecture. After clarifying your notoriety, the soldiers and Government Officials of Luoyun Town have decided to keep things quiet. As long as you don’t take too extreme actions, they will not make any mistaken offensive moves toward you.”

At that moment, the panel vibrated twice.

Jiang Dali’s cold lips slowly curved into a smile, seemingly unbothered by the eyes filled with horror around him as he walked into the inn and looked toward Wu Lie, ”Zhu Changling, the manor owner of Zhuwu Linked Rings, was killed by me. Do you want to know why I killed him?”

Without thinking, Wu Lie angrily asked, ”Why?”

Those nearby pricked up their ears, curious to listen.

But at that moment, the players were stunned, blankly staring at the vibrating panel.

”Triggered a temporary ’Life and Death Choice’ quest.

Quest content: Black Wind Village Chief Jiang Dali has come here to pursue the manor owner Wu Lie of Zhuwu Linked Rings for a battle to the death. You now have two choices: one is to help the Black Wind Village Chief stop Wu Lie from fleeing; the other is to help Wu Lie create an opportunity to escape.

Quest requirements: Make a choice! (Note: Your choice is very likely to offend either party. If one survives, they will seek revenge on you.)

Quest reward: A slight increase in goodwill from the chosen side.”

The players, upon reading the quest on the panel, were dumbfounded.

Shit, we just wanted to quietly watch the drama unfold.

Why drag us into this mess?

Can’t we choose not to choose?

A group of players all looked towards one player with a long sword at his waist, waiting for his decision.

This sword-carrying player furrowed his brows, focusing on analyzing the words ”escape” and ”flee.”

These words clearly indicated that Wu Lie stood no chance against the Black Wind Village Chief and might die at any moment.

So, if they chose to help Wu Lie, was there a chance to turn the tide?

Assessing the situation, the hope seemed incredibly slim.

And if they failed, they might even be pursued for revenge by the grudge-holding Black Wind Village Chief.

The sword-carrying player made an instant decision, opting to assist the Black Wind Village Chief in preventing Wu Lie’s escape, and swiftly informed his companions of the choice and analysis through a private, locked section of a forum.

”Abandon Wu Lie, quickly choose the Black Wind Village Chief, remember, we only step in at critical moments to stop Wu Lie from fleeing, we must absolutely not interfere arbitrarily in their fight!”

Upon hearing this, the group of players didn’t hesitate.

They all chose to accept the quest to help the Black Wind Village Chief prevent Wu Lie’s escape.

They betrayed with absolute disregard for integrity and compassion.

At this moment, Wu Lie had no idea that the very people who had been flattering him just moments ago had instantly turned ruthless, now fawning over someone else, all while he remained oblivious—anger flaming within him at Jiang Dali’s disparagement of Zhu Changling.

”Dammit! You, a mountain bandit leader full of evil, have no right to slander my brother!”

Wu Lie roared, his right hand suddenly moving in quick succession, fingertips swiftly pointing, creating two sharp bursts of air aiming straight for Jiang Dali.

Almost at the same time, he leaped out quickly, like a horse jumping over a small creek.

A chilling white light flashed out from his waist.

Fast, like a streak of cold lightning.

A glaring sword light followed closely, aiming to kill Jiang Dali.

This sudden burst of attack was as swift and fierce as lightning and thunder.

While Wu Lie seemed blindly enraged, his mind was exceptionally clear. Every sense in his body was heightened to the extreme.

He tapped into all of his strength like never before, wholeheartedly assessing air currents, pressure, the sound of the wind, and the surrounding environment. He calmly analyzed in his mind all the possible angles of attack and defensive moves from his enemy, intentionally choosing the most accessible path for his strike in an attempt to avoid obstruction.

However, he had miscalculated one thing completely, and that was Jiang Dali’s fighting style.

Jiang Dali’s way of fighting was always straightforward.

Especially when the strength was comparable.
