Killing God - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Accident
The youth looked about the same height as Shen Shi. His expression was 70% similar to that of the old duke he saw at the foot of the mountain. Especially, there was also a piece of meat on his cheek. However, the old duke’s face was raw and ferocious. This little fellow looked much more pleasing to the eye. He had a chubby appearance and was a little fatty.

However, at this moment, the little fatty’s eyes revealed a ferocious light. He looked like he was about to vent his anger on his father. Shen Shi also had a headache. Thinking about the last black scroll that was sealed in the small jar yesterday, he couldn’t help but feel a little guilty when he looked at the little fatty. He laughed dryly and said, “My name is Shen Shi, what’s wrong with you?”

The little fatty glared at him and said, “My father said that you lied to him about a good thing at the South Heaven Gate yesterday. Call it out!”

Shen Shi raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh, did he say what that good thing is?”

The little fatty said angrily, “Stop pretending. It’s just a small jar.” He even drew a few strokes on his hand, roughly drawing the size of the small jar.

Seeing the little fatty’s furious expression, Shen Shi did not immediately answer his question. Instead, he looked him up and down, as if he had thought of something. Then, he smiled and said, “Are you the son of that old duke? In the future, we can be considered fellow disciples. Oh right, what’s your name?”

The little fatty laughed coldly and said, “My name is Hou Sheng. Don’t think that you can let me off just by getting close to me. Hand over that small jar quickly, so that I won’t beat you up.”

Shen Shi thought for a moment and said, “Yesterday, I did buy a small jar from South Heaven Gate, but I wonder if your father told you how many spirit crystals I spent on it?”

Hou Sheng was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, Shen Shi stretched out a finger and said, “I spent a spirit crystal.” Then, he looked at Hou Sheng with a faint smile and said, “What kind of special good thing do you think a spirit crystal can buy?”

Little Fatty Hou Sheng’s face flushed red. It seemed that he was still unwilling to give up. He leaned against his neck and shouted, “My father said that it was a good thing. You lied to him …”

Shen Shi directly interrupted him and said, “Your father said that it was a good thing. Tell me what exactly it is.”

Hou Sheng was speechless.

Shen Shi sneered and said, “Since it’s such a good item, why would your father want to sell another spirit crystal? Did he tell you about this?”

Hou Sheng was dumbfounded. The old duke had never mentioned these things to him before, After all, this involved using yellow jingshi to deceive another rogue cultivator’s spirit crystal. Although the old duke’s character wasn’t good, he couldn’t brag about this kind of behavior in front of his son as if nothing had happened. Therefore, he only roughly mentioned to his son that Shen Shi should have cheated him of a small pot of good stuff yesterday.

Hearing this, Hou Sheng said, Naturally, he angrily came to settle the score with Shen Shi. Who would have thought that Shen Shi’s words would immediately stop him? The little fatty was not a mentally handicapped youth made of pure wood. He had heard and heard of his father’s usual methods of selling stalls at the South Heaven Gate. It was at this moment that Shen Shi asked him a few questions. After pondering for a while, he could roughly understand what had happened yesterday …

Other people are seriously spending money to buy things, but you still want to falsely accuse people of cheating. This kind of method seems to be a bit inexcusable. Little Fatty frowns. A little fatty’s face instantly becomes somewhat embarrassed. It’s just that he has a youthful temperament. It would be extremely difficult for him to say anything else about it. In the end, Hou Sheng suddenly stomped his foot and cursed something in a low voice. He ignored Shen Shi and turned around to run towards Bai Xianyan.

Shen Shi, who was left in place, was also stunned for a moment. He glanced at the little fatty’s back. Even if he didn’t see that face, he knew that Hou Sheng’s face must be flushed with anger at this moment. He definitely treated him like an enemy.

Shen Shi gently sighed, feeling a little helpless. He shook his head and walked up again.

The stone steps had a total of more than a hundred floors. They were inclined upwards. From the ground, they looked like a grand dao that led to the heavens. However, halfway through, one would find that there were no handrails on either side of the stone steps, and the inclined angles carved upwards were somewhat steep. As they walked, there was actually a sense of danger.

About halfway to the middle of the stone steps, Shen Shi quickly discovered that many of the young boys and girls who had come up before him had unconsciously slowed down a lot. Standing on the stone steps, He felt that the sea breeze had suddenly become much bigger. It was as if he could accidentally blow the weak body down from the boulder. When he looked back, the scene was even more frightening. He saw that it was as steep as peeling, and it was even further away from the ground. If he accidentally rolled down, he would probably fall into meat sauce.

Many of the boys and girls on the stone steps looked nervous. Some of them were timid, and even their footsteps seemed to begin to tremble. Shen Shi subconsciously turned around to take a look. A gust of sea breeze blew past, and he felt as if his body had almost drifted, and he vaguely felt as if he had lost control and rolled down. Suddenly, a burst of cold sweat appeared. He hurriedly turned his head back and gasped for breath. Only then did he feel better.

He looked at the stone steps in front of him and didn’t dare to look back. He took a deep breath. After a while, his heart, which had been beating intensely, gradually calmed down.

Suddenly, a suppressed and wronged and terrified soft sob came from not far in front of Shen Shi. Shen Shi raised his head and looked forward. He saw a girl on a stone staircase five or six floors above him. Her face was pale and her body trembled slightly, but she was so scared that she couldn’t help but cry.

This weeping didn’t matter, In the blink of an eye, it was as if it was contagious. There seemed to be similar sounds coming from both sides. Although everyone tried their best to suppress themselves, they were extremely nervous. After all, these young boys and girls were still young. Some children with good backgrounds had never experienced such a dangerous scene since they were young. For a moment, they were truly unable to accept it.

However, after being shocked by the sudden cries from the surroundings, Shen Shi’s spirits were lifted. It seemed that even his original nervousness had been relieved by a lot, and he didn’t feel that it was funny in his heart.

Perhaps when he was young, he had seen blood with the butcher in Silu City and killed people. He didn’t dare to say anything else, but his courage was thicker than that of an ordinary youth.

He turned around and looked around. He saw several girls with red eyes and tears rolling down their cheeks. In contrast, although there were quite a few boys with pale complexions, none of them actually cried.

Below Immortal Worshipping Rock, the crowd of people gathered to watch did not disperse. The people who came here were either relatives, friends, or aristocratic family attendants. No one was particularly relieved if they did not personally watch these young boys and girls truly worship Immortal Worshipping Rock. However, at this moment, his gaze was sharp. From afar, he could see that there seemed to be something strange halfway through the Immortal Worshipping Rock Stage. For some reason, many teenagers stopped their footsteps. Some of the children even shook their shoulders in fear. This situation immediately caused a commotion in the crowd below the stone. Many people revealed worried expressions and subconsciously approached the Immortal Worshipping Rock Stage.

At this moment, a deep male voice suddenly came from the top of the Celestial Worshipping Rock. His tone was calm and quiet, but it seemed to have great might in its invisible form. It immediately suppressed all of the movements, causing only this voice to echo from top to bottom of the boulder.

“The Immortal Path is long and dangerous. How can a timid person be competent? Those who do not ascend the small stone steps will have their immortal fate severed. Do it yourself.”

The sound faded away, and there was silence beneath the stone. Countless people raised their heads to look into the distance, all of them nervously staring at the youths on the stone steps with anxiety in their hearts.

As for the atmosphere on the stone steps, it was even more solemn. All the youths on the stone steps naturally heard that deep and calm voice, and the meaning behind it was also clear.

After that voice disappeared, a few of the boys among the youths suddenly snorted. They seemed to have made up their minds and continued climbing up without saying a word. With these boys leading the way, the rest of the children, boys and girls alike, naturally understood that there was only one choice left in front of them. They all cheered up. Even though their legs and feet were still a little weak, they still gritted their teeth and continued to walk upwards.

Shen Shi was also an inconspicuous person in the crowd. His expression was still calm. He continued to walk upwards. He accidentally looked up and saw that one of the boys at the front was actually Little Fatty Hou Sheng.

However, at this moment, the higher the stone steps, the steeper they became. The inclination of the stone steps became larger and larger. It looked even more frightening. Even if the person at the forefront gathered the courage to continue forward, he still couldn’t help but feel fear and fear. At the same time, the sea breeze grew stronger and stronger. The surging and never-ending sea tide rushed over wave after wave, slamming against the giant rock cliff. It was as if every single strike caused the giant rock to slightly shake. There was a terrifying illusion that everyone would fall in the next moment.

In order to maintain his balance, the youth in front of him had already bent down and placed his hands on the stone steps. He used both hands and feet to try his best to get close to the stone steps, and then climbed up step by step with great difficulty.

Shen Shi was the same. At the same time, he secretly cursed in his heart. This Ling Xiao Sect’s rules were truly extraordinary. Even the previous Immortal Worshipping Cliff had to set up such a large formation to attract disciples. At this moment, around him, there were heavy breathing sounds. Due to excessive nervousness, the strength of these youths was also rapidly being depleted.

Gradually, the youngster was divided into a few levels. There were about seven or eight people at the front. They walked the fastest and had the best complexion. Among them was Little Fatty Hou Sheng. There were about thirty to forty people in the middle. They looked nervous, but they were still climbing up. Their speed was considered to be acceptable. As for the dozen or so people who lagged behind, it seemed that the situation was the worst. The few girls crying in front of them, as well as a few thin, weak, and even cowardly boys, were all at this level.

Shen Shi’s condition seemed to be acceptable. Although he didn’t seem to be climbing very fast, he still followed the middle group. This was because he had arrived a little late and was caught by the little fatty Hou Sheng for a while, so he was delayed. Right now, he was slowly moving forward. Although his speed looked average, he had actually continuously surpassed a few people along the way and gradually arrived in the middle of the team.

Shen Shi narrowed his eyes and said, “That little fatty, can’t you see that his legs and legs are actually quite agile …” He glanced at the little fatty who was climbing very quickly at the front. He shook his head and walked up another stone staircase. Not far from him was a girl. She looked a little pale and was stopping to rest on the road in front of him. She was panting heavily. It seemed that she was very tired.

Shen Shi glanced at her. He only felt that this girl seemed to be pretty. As for the others, he did not think too much about it. Next, he prepared to spare her and continue forward. The girl looked at Shen Shi while panting, as if she was somewhat reluctant to be surpassed. She gritted her teeth and continued to walk forward.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the girl stepped on a stone staircase. A gust of wind blew over abruptly. It was unknown if she was exhausted or if her feet slipped. The girl’s body shook and her footing unsteadily. After letting out a shrill scream, her body actually fell towards Shen Shi!

At that moment, the entire stone staircase seemed to be stupefied. Shen Shi’s mind was also blank in an instant, and he felt as if a heart was about to jump out of his chest at this moment. He stared blankly at the somewhat delicate body, falling down from before him like this, bringing with it the terrifying sound of the wind and the overwhelming shadows.

This precipitous cliff, is it going to fall down next, and then everyone will die together …
