The toad's mouth was bleeding, but the man was shaking with excitement: "Master Bu, take a look, take a look!"

"I was just being kind. I only said, 'Aren't you afraid the prisoners will run away if you don't put them in restraints?'"

"As a result, that Li Po acted like he'd taken gunpowder and started hitting me."

Shifei Daoren's face twitched a few times, and he raised his hand and slapped him again: "Get out!"

Shifei Daoren scolded angrily: "Zhu Xiaoyu, keep an eye on your people. If this happens again, I'll directly rule that you've lost!"

Zhu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Well, I'm afraid you can't do that, Daoren!"

"For the sake of fairness, the four of us have already made a contract. There's no such clause in the contract."

"On the contrary, Li Po took the initiative to start the trouble, so he should be judged as the loser!"

Shifei Daoren gritted his teeth and said, "It's up to me, not you, to decide who started the trouble. I'll say it one last time: control your subordinates!"

Zhu Xiaoyu looked at Shifei Daoren: "The contract doesn't say who has the right to interpret it, but since Daoren has said so, I can give everyone face this time. Next time, please handle things impartially, Daoren."

Shifei Daoren's face was extremely gloomy, but he couldn't refute her, so he could only snort coldly and lead his people out.

Although the toad mouth had been crooked from the beating, a toad the size of a straw hat emerged from his back, lying on top of his head and croaking, "Don't think my mouth is crooked, but my natal spirit beast is here. As long as it's here, I can talk, and I can pick on your faults."

"As long as it's something I see, I can find fault with it!"

"If I look at the sky, I'll say the sky is wrong. If I see the ground, I'll say the ground is uneven."

"If the sky doesn't have any cracks, I'll spit twice to make a hole."

"If the ground doesn't have any pits, I'll blow two holes in it with one breath."

"You better not talk. Talking is a sin! If you explain things clearly, it's called being long-winded and quibbling. If you don't explain things clearly, I'll pretend I don't understand. In short, you're wrong to talk!"

"It's an even bigger sin if you don't let me talk! Freedom of speech! I just like to talk!"

"If you dare to talk back, you have no tolerance or magnanimity."

"When I speak, you have to listen. If you all talk about me together, it's called suppressing me as a group, and it's destroying freedom of speech."

This time, it was Bei Yan Yungui who couldn't stand it: "Daoren, I'm withdrawing from the competition now."

Xia Zhou also said, "I also request to withdraw from the competition. I don't want to compete with this person around."

Suddenly, Shifei Daoren struck the incessantly chattering toad mouth with a palm. The man and the toad were blown to pieces under Shifei Daoren's heavy palm.

A toad mouth more than half a foot long flew several meters away and was still croaking, "I am Xiao Jiaolong Qi Luling! The number one expert in the world."

As soon as Shifei Daoren made his move, I was shocked—he had fallen into a trap.

The thing that Zhu Xiaoyu brought was a killing move aimed at Shifei Daoren.

When Shifei Daoren wrote the contract, he only wrote that the four of us could not attack each other, but he didn't write that we couldn't provoke each other.

With that palm, he was the one who had violated the oath, and the punishment of the ghosts and gods would surely come.

If Shifei Daoren died, the competition would be without a notary.

Zhu Xiaoyu wasn't the only one who wanted to kill Shifei Daoren.

Bei Yan Yungui and Xia Zhou also had such intentions; otherwise, they wouldn't have spoken sarcastically at such a critical moment.

In the blink of an eye, I saw large patches of blood seeping out of Shifei Daoren's back, and cold sweat was pouring down Shifei Daoren's forehead.

After a while, Shifei Daoren's trembling body finally stopped.

He tore off his clothes and revealed his back, which had three bloody gashes.

The skin on Shifei Daoren's back had been torn apart as if by sharp claws. Foot-long gashes snaked down his back, and the xiezhi (mythical creature) that had been tattooed on his back had been divided into four pieces by the gashes, especially around the eyes, where a piece of skin had been torn off.

Shifei Daoren had violated the contract, and the xiezhi, which was closely related to the Bushen lineage, had left him.

This was the punishment given to him by the ghosts and gods!

The ghosts and gods also knew that Shifei Daoren's crime did not warrant death, but the penalty for breaking the contract could not be waived.

Shifei Daoren grabbed the back of the car seat with both hands and said, "Hall Master Li, please have your people help me sew up the wound."

I said, "Feng Ruoxing, treat Daoye's wound. Daoye, we didn't bring any anesthetic. I have some strong liquor here. Do you want a shot?"

"No need!" Shifei Daoren said in a deep voice, "This poor Daoist violated the contract and should be punished for it."

Zhu Xiaoyu looked at Shifei Daoren: "Daoren, I think we should send you to the nearest hospital. Your current condition is no longer suitable for being a notary."

Shifei Daoren sneered, "To use your words, things that have been clearly written in the contract cannot be changed. As long as I'm not dead, I'm still the notary."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but narrow my eyes slightly: So, this was the purpose of the Reincarnation Department's sacrifice of a toad mouth.

At that time, although we forced Shifei Daoren to sign the contract, we didn't demand that he be a strict notary.

Because he had the xiezhi on him, it was impossible for him to be biased towards any side.

Now that the xiezhi had left, even if there was a contract to restrain him, Shifei Daoren could still take advantage of the loopholes in the contract to favor any of us or suppress any of us.

Shifei Daoren, who was previously impossible to win over, had now become someone we could win over!

This was not a good thing.
