Mortal Bones

"Brother Taiping, in the past, the sword test meeting in the Dragon Slaying Association has always been a competition between dragon catchers. The purpose is to screen out some dragon catchers who are too weak to prevent them from competing with their team. The dragon man died in vain at the hands of the demon dragon."

In the Dimai Cave, when Dongfang Yueyu learned from Xu Taiping that there was actually a challenge between dragon hunters in this knife test meeting, David was also confused.

After Xu Taiping heard this, he immediately frowned and said:

"Could it be that the Dragon-Slaying Society has changed its rules?"

Dongfang Yue Cocoon shook her head and said:

"The rules of the Dragon Slaying Society were set by the five emperors together. No one can change the rules they set with the laws of heaven without authorization."

Xuanzhi also nodded at this time and said:

"The poor monk has never heard that dragon slaying will change the rules."

After hearing what the two said, Xu Taiping took a deep breath and murmured:

"Is it true that no one can change the rules set by the Five Emperors?"

Dongfang Yue Cocoon said with certainty:

"Definitely not."

Xu Taiping took a deep look at Dongfang Yue Cocoon, and then asked:

"What if it's the Witch?"

Dongfang Yueyu immediately changed his expression and said:

"Demon...witch mother?!"

Xu Taiping nodded and said:

"Just like the Dragon-Slaying List can favor us, the Demon Mother, who has fought against the Five Emperors, naturally has the means to slightly change the rules of the Dragon-Slaying Association."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yueyu and Master Xuanzhi both looked stern.

Dongfang Yueyu nodded and said:

"It is indeed possible."

At this moment, the battle record suspended between the three people suddenly made a slight trembling sound again.

Immediately afterwards, another line of fine characters appeared on the battle record.

Dongfang Yue Cocoon read while watching:

"This Dragon Slaying Sword Test will start in three months."

"Before this knife test meeting, there will be a special catching meeting."

"In the sword-catching meeting, each team of dragon-slayers participating in the dragon-slaying meeting will catch a pair and fight against each other in advance."

"For any team that loses in the knife-catching meeting, the dragon catchers in the team will not have the right to challenge the opponent in the subsequent knife-catching meeting, and can only wait for the opponent to challenge."

"Also, for the sake of fairness, this time the opponents will be arranged based on their combat merit."

"A party with too high a battle record cannot challenge others, and can only send one person to challenge."

"The side with low combat performance can send out all the dragon-slayers in the team."

After reading the rules of the Sword Catching Club, Dongfang Yueyu looked extremely ugly and said:

"It's just a matter of adding a knife-catching meeting out of thin air. There are rules in this knife-catching meeting. How can it be worthy of the word fairness?"

Master Xuanzhi on the side also frowned and said:

"This dragon catcher looks like he is targeting our team."

With that said, Dongfang Yueyu and Master Xuanzhi both looked at Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping did not reply, but stared at the detailed lines of text on the battle record without blinking, and said in a tone full of confusion:

"Why did the Dragon-Slaying Association agree to such unfair rules? Is the Demon Mother really so powerful that she can arbitrarily tamper with the rules of the Dragon-Slaying Association?"

And just as he was thinking this, densely packed words suddenly began to appear on the battle record:

"The challengers of the first round of the Knife Hunting Club are Jiuyuan Dragon Slayer Wuxin, Qinghe, and Li Yezhu."

"Please ask the Dongfang Family's team to send a dragon-slayer to fight!"

“If there is half a cup of tea and no one from the Dongfang Family’s team responds to the challenge, 10,000 battle merits from the Dongfang Family’s team will be deducted!

After seeing these words clearly, Dongfang Yueyu was furious. She, who was always so polite, couldn't help but cursed:

"What kind of bullshit rule is this? Let's just talk about one to three and only give us half a cup of tea to think about it!"

"That's all!"

"If we don't want to accept the challenge, we will be deducted a full 10,000 points of combat merit. This is too ridiculous!"

After Xu Taiping read these ridiculous words in the battle record, his tense expression actually relaxed.

I saw him let out a long breath, raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:

"I am now certain that all the rules in the war merit book, and even the sword-catching guild itself, are the result of the Demon Mother's interference in the dragon-slaying guild!"

Seeing that Xu Taiping looked so relaxed, Dongfang Yueyu asked in confusion:

"Brother Taiping, since we can confirm that the Demon Mother has intervened in the Dragon Slaying Society, why do you not look afraid at all?"

Xu Taiping smiled and said:

"Because judging from the results of the Demon Mother's intervention this time, it only added a sword-catching party to the Dragon-Slaying Club, and the rules of the sword-catching party were biased in favor of Jiuyuan."

"This is a good thing for us."

Dongfang Yueyu still looked confused and said:

"Isn't this enough?"

Xuanzhi on the side seemed to understand, and immediately nodded and said:

"Indeed, with the powerful means of the Demon Mother, we can only achieve this step. It is indeed a good thing for us."

Dongfang Yueyu also understood at this time, but she was still very worried and said:

"But in this situation, what should we do? With one against three, and our opponents are two Demon Emperors and one Demon Emperor, we have no chance of winning, right?"

As she said that, she raised her head and looked at Xu Taiping with a worried expression.

Master Xuanzhi also set his sights on Xu Taiping at this time.

Xu Taiping looked at the two of them, then smiled lightly and said:

"A month ago, it was indeed a bit troublesome, but now all the soul marks on my body have been removed."

When he said this, Xu Taiping looked at the battle merit book floating above, and then continued:

"At least in this lower world, I am really not afraid of the three of them joining forces."

Hearing this, Dongfang Yuecan's eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"I forgot about this!"

Xuan Zhi on the side put his hands together and smiled:

"Amitabha, this time the calculations of the Demon Mother and Jiuyuan should be in vain."

...

At the same time.

Xuan Dan Palace, the viewing seat.

"What? Let Brother Taiping and his men fight one against three, and if they don't fight, they will be deducted 10,000 battle merits?"

"What kind of damn rule is this!"

At this moment, the little princess Chu Xiaoxiao, who was watching the battle in the small attic of Chunyu Pavilion, could no longer remain calm after seeing the rules of the ghostwriting meeting published on the Dragon Slaying List, and she directly cursed loudly.
