205: If you can't do it, let me, an old man, do it.

【Triggering additional choice!】

【Currently selectable additional target: Wang Zhen】

【You (Wang Zhen), as the Village Chief of Remnant Old Village, how can you tolerate your companions, with whom you have been together for tens of thousands of years, being so insulted?】

【Although this young man is the son of the former Wang Dage.】

【But even if Wang Dage insulted you, you might leave him, let alone just a mere son.】

【So you decided——】

【A: Insult him back.】

【B: Beat him up severely.】

【C: Kill him outright.】

【D: Slowly torture him to death.】

"Another additional choice has been triggered... Interesting."

"Then choose D."

In the scene.

The old folks surrounding Wang Xuanba all twisted their faces, full of frustration.

Emotionally, they really wanted to punish this young man, but rationally, they knew he was the son of their benefactor, and given their age, he was almost like a newborn baby to them, so there was no need to be so serious with him...

But in their hearts, there was ultimately lingering frustration with nowhere to vent.

"Alas, the Village Chief was right, we really can't bring ourselves to do it."

"Who told him to be the son of our benefactor... If it were anyone else, he would have been reduced to ashes and his soul extinguished long ago."

"Who's not saying that....."

Seeing this, Wang Xuanba crossed his arms with great satisfaction, a smug smile on his face.

He won the bet.

This group of old men really didn't dare to do anything to him.

At this moment.

The Village Chief Wang Zhen suddenly chuckled: "It's alright, if you can't bring yourselves to do it, let this old man do it, hehehehehe......"

While chuckling.

He pushed away the other old men surrounding Wang Xuanba, and then, under the disbelieving gazes of the old men.

With a "swish", he swung an unremarkable hand blade, chopping at Wang Xuanba's left shoulder!

In an instant!

Only to see an arm fly out!

Falling several meters away with splashing blood!

The old men in the temple were stunned.

Even Wang Xuanba himself, the person involved, couldn't quite believe his eyes for a moment, until intense pain reached his brain, until blood gushed wildly.

"Ahhh——!!"

"My hand! My hand!"

The dense network of bloodshot veins that instantly burst forth in his eyeballs dyed his eyes blood red!

【Collapse Value +50!】

"What!?"

The old men were startled, and Golden Needle Granny was even quicker, flicking out a ray of fluorescent light to cover Wang Xuanba's severed arm, stopping his bleeding in the blink of an eye!

"Village Chief Wang! You actually laid hands on the son of our benefactor!?"

"You even used the energy of an Immortal Venerable to prevent his severed arm from regenerating, do you really want him to die!?"

Everyone was stunned by Wang Zhen's actions, each of them casting surprised and bewildered looks at him.

They couldn't believe it.

The person who had just prevented them from laying hands on Wang Xuanba, the person who respected Wang Dage the most in his life, would actually be the first to lay hands on Wang Xuanba!

Wang Xuanba looked at him in terror, a look of fear appearing on his face for the first time.

【Collapse Value +30】

"Hmph."

Facing everyone's doubts and bewilderment.

Wang Zhen just lightly snorted, then stroked his whitening beard and slowly said: "It's not because you couldn't bring yourselves to do it, so I had to be the bad guy."

"If you had really done it, why would you need me?"

"I am bearing the sin for you!"

This, this, this......

The old men looked at each other.

They were just saying it, no one actually wanted to really do it.

"Could it be that you are just all talk and no action? Then what's the use of such behavior?"

"Does it highlight your incompetence, showing that you really want to hurt him but can't do anything?"

"Or does it emphasize your helplessness, to indirectly highlight your loyalty?"

These words left everyone in the temple speechless.

In fact, over tens of thousands of years, quite a few ancient powerhouses in the village had developed other ideas in their hearts.

Some had gradually forgotten their experiences with Wang Dage, and even had only a vague impression of him as a person left; some felt that although the favor hadn't been fully repaid, they shouldn't sacrifice the rest of their lives for him; others felt that after tens of thousands of years of bitter waiting, they had already done their utmost in kindness and righteousness, and could have long since gone their separate ways.

In short.

Many old people in the village had long since developed other ideas in their hearts, but they didn't know what others were thinking, were afraid of becoming targets of public criticism, and also afraid of being killed by Wang Zhen, who was most loyal to Wang Tian Ce, which was why they didn't dare to show it.

Now...

Even Wang Zhen, who was most loyal to Wang Tian Ce, showed signs of "turningcoat".

Many people's hearts began to stir.

Trapped in this village for so many years, they had long yearned for freedom!

【Collapse Value +30】

"Village Chief Wang is right, we were being rigid."

Golden Needle Granny was the first to stand out and support Wang Zhen.

She turned her head, a sharp light appearing in her cloudy white eyes, sweeping across the old men: "Since the Ten Thousand Spirit Sacrifice Array was set up back then, more than ten of us have been tirelessly channeling Immortal Energy into the array day and night, but now, tens of thousands of years later, it can still only give the corpse a bit of vitality, with no other results besides that."

"We have already done our utmost in kindness and righteousness, and the favor that should be repaid has long since been repaid."

"If Wang Dage were alive again, he would also hope that we could live our own lives well, instead of sacrificing the rest of all our lives for the slim-to-impossible hope of resurrecting him."

Another person agreed?

Many people in the temple showed joy on their faces, secretly thinking, could it be that they could gain freedom today?

They didn't want to miss this opportunity, and spoke out repeatedly to increase this "turningcoat force"!

"Right, right, right! Old Yang, I support the Village Chief!"

"Indeed, if Wang Dage were alive, he wouldn't want us to waste our lives."

"In my opinion, why don't we go our separate ways today!"

"Good idea!"

【Collapse Value +30】

Wang Xuanba swallowed with difficulty.

The situation's development exceeded his expectations; if he continued to stay here, he seemed like he would really die!

He had to run!

However, just as he turned around, the corner of his eye caught a fleeting white light flashing past!

Then the next moment!

Thump!

He saw a pair of legs fly out, and then his own body uncontrollably fell forward, his upper body heavily hitting the ground!

"My legs!"

"My legs!!"

Wang Xuanba no longer cared about the pain.

He gritted his teeth, struggled to turn his body around, and roared angrily at Wang Zhen, who had a ruthless smile on his face: "If you have the guts, kill me!"

"Otherwise, someday in the future when I grow up, I will definitely launch a frenzied pursuit and kill against you and even all the disabled people in Remnant Old Village!"

"No one will be spared!!"

These were not his thoughtless harsh words.

But he genuinely, truly wanted them to kill him immediately!

Through the Chat Group for Protagonist.

Wang Xuanba already knew that after death, he would very likely reincarnate into the Wan Ding God Domain, and might even gain high cultivation as soon as he reincarnated.

Now, he and this group of old men were already like fire and water.

Instead of suffering torture here, with his life and death hanging in the balance of a few words, it was better to reincarnate early and seek hope elsewhere.
