Mortal Bones

"This young hero, please don't talk nonsense."

Seeing that the voice of dissatisfaction was getting louder and louder, the elder who was in charge of judging in the arena suddenly scolded Gongshu Nanxing with a straight face.

"In that case, elder, why are you still hesitating? After all, according to the rules you explained before the competition, you will be declared a loser if you fall on the ring."

Xu Taiping now crossed his arms over his chest and looked at the elder with a smile.

However, in the eyes of everyone, especially the elder and Gao Qi, this expression showed the arrogance of a "villain who succeeds".

"I'm not blind. I have to decide who wins and who loses." The elder's face was ashen.

Upon hearing this, Gao Qi on the side suddenly became anxious. He immediately stepped forward and said to the elder: "Elder, don't let him threaten you!"

"Master Gao, please step back." The elder looked at Gao Qi seriously.

Seeing this, Gao Qi knew that the overall situation had been decided and that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless, so he had no choice but to take a step back and glared at Xu Taiping opposite him with a full face of resentment.

After Gao Qi retreated, the elder of Tianshuang Pavilion turned to look at Xu Taiping, and then said loudly to everyone in the audience:

"Rong Laoxian repeats it again. In this round of catching competition, once you fall off the ring, you will be punished directly. If you fall off the ring due to carelessness, you will regret it."

On the surface, this sentence was a warning to everyone in the audience, but it was actually a defense for Gao Qi, and at the same time, it also insinuated Xu Taiping's inability to win.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the arena stopped arguing. Many people even began to praise Tianshuang Pavilion for being fair and honest. At the same time, they looked at Xu Taiping with a lot of shameless looks.

"This old fox, not only saved the reputation of Tianshuang Pavilion and Gao Qi in one sentence, but also secretly teased you, making everyone think that you are a villain who will do anything to win."

At this time, Gongshu Nanxing sent a message to Xu Taiping with some annoyance.

"It doesn't matter, the more this happens, the harder it is for my identity to be discovered."

Xu Taiping replied to Gongshu Nanxing in his heart, then with a smile on his face he cupped his hands to the elder of Tianshuang Pavilion and said:

"Thank you, elder."

Immediately, he stopped talking nonsense with the two of them and jumped down, landing on the edge of Gongshu Nanxing.

"Sir, you are right. Those demon cultivators would never have thought that you would use this method to win."

Looking at Xu Taiping beside him, Gongshu Nanxing smiled slightly, and then said in his heart.

Xu Taiping smiled helplessly and looked towards the arena in front of him again.

…

"Mr. Gao, don't take your failure too seriously this time. After this group of people fails in the challenge, I will discuss it with the pavilion master and find a reason to add you, Mr. Gao."

"So before that, I ask you, Mr. Gao, not to act rashly."

Just as Gao Qi was about to get off the ring with an angry face, the elder of Tianshuang Pavilion suddenly sent a message to him again.

Upon hearing this, the anger on Gao Qi's face suddenly disappeared by half.

But even so, he was still very unhappy that Xu Taiping could challenge him on stage first.

"Elder, you, Tianshuang Pavilion, are you so willing to be teased by this kid?"

As he walked down the ring, he quietly transmitted the message to the elder on the ring and asked.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao. When the martial arts contest begins, I will inform Hall Master Siyou and the others and ask them to entertain Mr. Song well."

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and then sent a message to the elder:

"With your words, elder, I can watch the show with peace of mind."

When he said this, his feet just landed on the ground, and his eyes looked at Xu Taiping among the crowd.

…

"Sir, this Gaoqiu is not a kind person. I'm afraid he won't let it go."

Nan Xing, who had a keen mind, immediately noticed the unkind look cast by Gao Qi and immediately reminded Xu Taiping.

"Before I go on stage, I will let Xuanyuan's clone keep an eye on me."

Xu Taiping nodded, and then reminded Gongshu Nanxing without looking back:

"On your side, you should pay more attention after I come on stage."

"Don't worry, young master, Brother Zhai Mo will come to assist us once the ground escape formation is set up." Gongshu Nanxing nodded calmly.

"That's good."

Xu Taiping raised his hand that was on the handle of the knife, folded his hands around his chest, and stared at the arena in front of him without blinking.

Soon, another pair of cultivators who came to participate in the competition to find a bride came onto the ring.

However, compared to the one between Xu Taiping and Gao Qi, this one was dull to Xu Taiping. The two cultivators decided the winner after a brief fight.

Perhaps because they are afraid of a recurrence of the situation between Xu Taiping and Gao Qi, any practitioner with some strength will basically do their best after taking the stage.

As a result, in the following competitions, except for a few sporadic matches that were quite anxious, most of the competitions were one-sided and the winner was quickly decided.

In the end, in less than two hours, only about 60 of the more than 100 practitioners on the field were left.

Gongshu Nanxing had to stay in the field with Xu Taiping, so he also played a game just now and won successfully.

"Sir, among these sixty or seventy people, at most six have a decent level of cultivation. It seems that not all the masters in the cultivation world of Ningyuan Kingdom are present."

Gongshu Nanxing looked at the group of cultivators who were leaving with unwilling expressions, and said in his heart, Xu Taiping.

"The Tianshuang Pavilion's martial arts competition will last for seven days. Today is the first day, so of course not many people will come."

Xu Taiping was not very surprised by this.

From the information he got, many sects in Ningyuan Kingdom were taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the Tianshuang Pavilion's martial arts competition, and most people would not come on the first day.

This is why Xu Taiping chose to come on the first day.
