Chapter 156

"What? He actually has no obstacles, and so easily stepped onto a thousand stairs? What a joke!"

"No way, how can he be so stubborn?"

"He doesn't seem to be acting stubborn; is it possible he really finds it very easy?"

Looking at Yu Changsheng's relaxed appearance, the crowd stared at each other in dismay, gritting their teeth, flames of unwillingness and jealous envy burning fiercely in their eyes.

"No, if he's truly this amazing, why doesn't he hurry up and catch up? Is he taking a stroll here? Or does he want to humiliate someone?"

Someone's complexion was unsightly, and he said resentfully.

"He's probably just grandstanding. Look at him wearing Beast Taming Peak disciple attire; where can his strength go? He's likely still forcing it. Just watch, he won't take a few steps before he has to come down."

There were also people heh-heh coldly laughing, resting on the side to preserve stamina while watching Yu Changsheng step past so easily, feeling a bit eager to try themselves.

These remarks naturally did not escape Yu Changsheng's ears, but Yu Changsheng merely shook his head, too lazy to bother with them.

"Just sour grapes because they can't eat them."

Speed was not affected in the slightest; Yu Changsheng still walked upward at a steady, unhurried pace, every step very solid, his body without a trace of instability.

Body like Mount Tai, soul like a boulder, indestructible.

In the blink of an eye, another fifty layers were stepped past, yet Yu Changsheng's footsteps still showed not a trace of stopping. Seeing this, some people on the Auction Stage were dumbfounded.

And on the 1,100 stairs, originally some people who didn't care much about Yu Changsheng also noticed this conspicuous figure. One by one, in astonishment, they arduously resisted the enormous pressure from this layer, their complexions slowly turning grave.

"This guy, looks like he indeed has some strength. Does he want to play pig to eat tiger?"

"Just a clown. I'll make him look good."

Among them, a few people's eyes revealed strange glints, looking at Yu Changsheng with displeased expressions, deliberately speaking.

They were clear that the 1,100 stairs already made it impossible for them to move an inch; persisting further up another layer had no meaning, but if they were eliminated just like that, they were somewhat unwilling, so they simply blocked the gate.

Holding the mentality of "if I'm not having a good time, you don't think about having one either," and this kind of person is not few in number; there are some every year.

This is also one of the reasons why most people try their best to speed upward — they're afraid of encountering such a group of gate-blocking slackers. After all, in this kind of place, expending stamina and mental energy to deal with such a group is simply not worth the effort.

If they win, it affects subsequent climbing; if they lose, it's even more tragic.

The actions of the people on the 1,100 stairs were also seen by the disciples on the 1,000 stairs, each revealing an expression of watching a show.

"Let you act tough now. If you have strength, why didn't you go up earlier? Now you've run into gate-blockers, right? You'll have something to cry about; they're really not easy targets."

Someone gloated, anticipating the next scene. Even couldn't help but secretly laugh out loud.

No matter where, watching the excitement is human nature, because the fire doesn't burn onto their own heads.

"Thump thump thump thump..."

In the blink of an eye, forty-nine stairs passed. Yu Changsheng looked up at the 1,100 stairs before him, brows slightly furrowed, stopping his footsteps for the first time.

"Please let me pass." Yu Changsheng said lightly, his voice revealing not a trace of emotion.

No other reason: right in front of him, a big man was blocking the stair above, coldly laughing as he looked at him.

"The stairs are this wide; won't you change a place to come up?"

The big man blocking Yu Changsheng's front wore a mocking expression. Hearing Yu Changsheng's words, not only did he not restrain himself, he instead lay down right there.

Yu Changsheng's brows furrowed even deeper. He gave the big man a deep look, then walked toward the side.

But at this moment, another person originally some distance from Yu Changsheng's side also suddenly moved, coincidentally blocking right in front of Yu Changsheng. Yu Changsheng went left again, and another disciple blocked in front of him.

Straight ahead, left side, right side — just perfectly blocked Yu Changsheng's three directions of ascent.

Seeing this, the onlookers' eyes lit up, staring unblinkingly, wanting to see Yu Changsheng make a fool of himself.

Yu Changsheng stared at the three, eyes turning cold, voice also turning cold. In a frigid voice: "What is the meaning of this?"

"What meaning? No meaning. The road is this wide, not yours. So what?"

The big man among the three shrugged, saying indifferently with a face of not caring.

"You're all Yujian Peak disciples, right?" Yu Changsheng looked at the Yujian Peak daofu on the three, suddenly saying a sentence.

"So what if we are? What, do you still want to retaliate after going down the mountain? Then I'll wait for you."

The big man spoke mockingly, looking at Yu Changsheng with not a trace of fear, or rather they were very confident, fearless because they had backing.

"Was it Huang Suyu who arranged for you to come?"

Yu Changsheng suddenly blurted out a non-sequitur.

"What Huang Suyu arranged? Just you, this little nobody, and you still know Huang Suyu?"

The three heard this, waved their hands, saying disdainfully. But deep in their eyes, a trace of wariness and astonishment flashed.

And all of this naturally did not escape Yu Changsheng, who had been staring at the three of them.

"So this is the reason you're so fearless?"

Yu Changsheng looked at the three's appearance, had the answer in his heart, and immediately smiled lightly.

"Regardless of whether it is or not, it doesn't matter anymore. I'll say it again: today this path, you move aside, or you don't!"

Speaking to the end, the impatience and killing intent in Yu Changsheng's eyes had already risen. His voice also turned a degree colder, actually making those three feel a cold shiver in their hearts for some reason.

But thinking there were three of them, while Yu Changsheng was alone, and in this situation Yu Changsheng couldn't do anything to them even if he wanted to, they immediately continued to put on arrogant expressions, bodies not moving an inch, continuing to block in front of Yu Changsheng.

"Don't say it, this road today we really are blocking. You want to pass? Fine," the big man pointed at his own crotch, "crawl through here. I guarantee I won't block you."

"Otherwise, you might as well obediently automatically forfeit."

While speaking, the three weren't idle either. Each summoned their own Magic Treasure. Three long swords with cold light biting were gripped in their hands, sword tips pointing straight at Yu Changsheng.

In an instant the air seemed to freeze; the atmosphere became tense.

Yu Changsheng's complexion was calm, looking at the three long swords close at hand, eyes slowly closing.

By the looks of it, it seemed he had given up resistance.

The three were just about to mock, but the next second, Yu Changsheng's eyes suddenly snapped open. A streak of invisible electric light slashed toward the three.

"Shock! Spirit! Pierce!"

"Boom—!!!"

Like a soundless thunderclap exploding in the three men's minds, the next instant their hands gripping the Sword Hilts suddenly stagnated, their bodies stiffened, blood surged from their Seven Orifices, and with a Boom they were thrown to the ground, rolling down the Stairs, "Ahhhhh!!! My head!!!"

Three earth-shaking screams rang out almost at the same time.
