# Chapter 1740: Deliberate Retaliation
"Ye was killed by this person. It seems this person will become one of those who might pass the assessment. Of course, the prerequisite is that Yu Hou, who is in charge of this assessment, does not deliberately target him. Otherwise, it's uncertain." The crowd was quite shaken seeing Lin Feng kill Ye. Ye's Heaven Yuan Battle Qi was extremely powerful, yet it was annihilated by Lin Feng.
However, Lin Feng had insulted Yu Jing with his words and killed two people who stood up for Yu Jing. It would be difficult for Yu Hou, who was in charge of this assessment, not to target Lin Feng. And once Yu Hou targeted Lin Feng, those old students would join forces to intercept him, deliberately not letting him pass. Even if Lin Feng's strength was great, it would be difficult for him to blast his way to the end.
Outside, Yu Hou's expression remained calm as usual, but his heart was extremely displeased. This assessment was determined by him, and the four examiners Shan Meng and the others were also appointed by him, all members of the Ji Sect. However, Bai Qi and Qiu Ming were brought by Shan Meng, yet neither listened to Shan Meng's orders, acting independently, arrogant and self-willed. It was true that skill gave one boldness, but one had to consider where to apply such arrogance. This was an assessment under his Ji Sect's responsibility; how could he allow someone to act so disobediently?
"Bai Qi and Qiu Ming both have excellent talent and strength. I originally wanted to recruit them into the Ji Sect. However, they are independent and disregard rules. It seems my Ji Sect cannot accommodate them." Yu Hou's voice carried a hint of coldness. Those around him could clearly feel a chilling aura.
"Yu, should I take a few people there?" At this moment, a person beside Yu Hou spoke calmly. However, Yu Hou remained silent, not opening his mouth.
"Ye was originally one of the key people we were watching among the many newcomers participating in this assessment. If he could pass the assessment we set for him, he could enter the academy. But he was killed by that newcomer. That newcomer's strength is not simple. Shang Yu's life is in danger. Also, that brute seems to be quite powerful. Shan Meng alone cannot take him down. If the newcomer who killed Ye joins the battle, Shan Meng's life will be in danger."
That person spoke again. Shan Meng, although he had entered the academy not long ago, was still a member of his Ji Sect. He could not die because of assessing newcomers; that would be absurd.
"Remember, we are conducting an assessment. If Shan Meng is no match, it means the other party has good talent and is qualified to enter the castle. How can we continue to obstruct?" Yu Hou said to that person. The person's eyes flickered, then he nodded slightly. "I understand."
Lin Feng and the others naturally did not know what was happening outside. At this moment, a voice rolled over again: "Assessment old students, withdraw. In half an incense stick's time, if newcomers do not enter the castle, the castle will close."
This voice rolled through, falling into everyone's ears, causing their pupils to contract slightly.
Shan Meng's expression also tightened. Yu Hou could not too obviously bend the rules for personal gain, so he did not continue sending people. He told him to withdraw.
"I didn't expect that I would need Yu to use such means to protect me." Shan Meng's face was ugly. He could naturally see that Lin Feng and the others had murderous intent toward him. He glanced at Shang Yu and transmitted a voice: "Shang Yu, withdraw. Abandon this assessment."
After saying this, Shan Meng turned his gaze to Bai Qi and Qiu Ming and called out: "Bai Qi, Qiu Ming, the two of you, withdraw with me."
As his voice fell, his body rolled backward. Dan Tai roared angrily, wanting to pursue, but Lin Feng called out to him: "Dan Tai, stop."
"Hmph." Dan Tai's expression was cold, but he did not continue pursuing. Shan Meng was the one assessing them; it was indeed not good to kill him. However, this person used the assessment opportunity to bend the rules for personal gain; he deserved death.
Hearing that there was still half an incense stick's time before the castle closed, the others immediately began to fight fiercely. There was no time to watch the excitement here. Each was finding their own opponent. The battle erupted violently, the strong preying on the weak.
Shang Yu's expression was quite unpleasant. This time, he had wanted to humiliate Dan Tai and the others, but instead was abused. Now, he even had to abandon this assessment. It seemed he would have to wait another three months.
"You remember this. We'll meet again." Shang Yu slashed down with his Great Demon Ancient Blade, splitting Great Pest's figure apart. His figure retreated backward, abandoning the assessment.
"No need to meet again." A cold voice rolled over, causing Shang Yu's expression to stiffen. Then he saw Lin Feng stepping forward step by step. Each step carried the fluctuation of spatial power, and the Wind Law wrapped around his body, making his speed incredibly fast.
"Slash!" Shang Yu's expression stiffened. He hadn't expected Lin Feng to not let him go. His Great Demon Ancient Blade slashed out in reverse, and a pitch-black blade light appeared in the void.
"Whoosh!" The wind shadow was swift as lightning. The blade light seemed to slash at a shadow. Shang Yu's face was ugly. His Great Demon Ancient Blade slashed horizontally, leveling the void, not letting anyone approach.
But at this moment, Shang Yu only saw Lin Feng punch out. With his bare fist carrying demon light, he directly smashed into the blade light. The scattered blade light was immediately dispersed, dissipating into nothingness. The fist light was unstoppable, charging straight into his body. Before the person arrived, the terrifying fist wind had already fiercely pounced.
Shang Yu's expression changed drastically. The shadow of a huge demon blade appeared behind him. Man and blade became one, slashing down from the sky, determined to cut Lin Feng.
"Kill!" Lin Feng roared angrily, punching out. This punch was like a divine fist, with the force of ten thousand jun pressing down. It blasted Shang Yu's figure reappearing. The laws of Lin Feng's terrifying fist light seemed to be broken through. But his body did not hesitate at all, continuing to slash down. Shang Yu's head exploded on the spot, killing him.
"Good one!" Qiu Ming, while retreating, saw Lin Feng kill Shang Yu and couldn't help but praise inwardly. This guy didn't plan to let Shang Yu go even as he left. No need to meet again; kill you now.
Bai Qi was very familiar with Lin Feng's deeds in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital and was not too surprised. But he thought to himself that by killing Shang Yu, his elder brother Shang Jun would probably not let Lin Feng off lightly. It could be foreseen that even if Lin Feng entered War King Academy, his days would probably not be easy.
Shan Meng, who had retreated to a distance, stood in the void, his gaze sharp but carrying a cold killing intent. Lin Feng had killed Shang Yu.
Lin Feng had no time to care about their thoughts. He cast a cold glance at Shan Meng in the distant void, then suddenly turned around. Time was short; he had to quickly seize jade slips and enter the castle.
"Dan Tai, Great Pest, follow me." Lin Feng's figure was like the wind. Great Pest and Dan Tai had no time to think about why Lin Feng's strength was so great. They had to get through this first. Both followed closely behind Lin Feng.
Half an incense stick's time. They had to fight quickly. It seemed even the one-in-five probability was gone. There wasn't enough time to slowly seize them.
"Jade slip." Lin Feng roared as he descended before one person. Demon light rolled, like a demon god pressing down. Dan Tai and Great Pest sealed off the retreat, making that person's face ugly. He obediently handed over the jade slip. Lin Feng and the three took it and immediately retreated, causing that person to spit in anger, his expression livid. Too bullying.
In another direction, Lin Feng punched out fiercely and domineeringly, blasting a person's body back ten meters. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. The power of desolation and barbaric dragon force rolled over. That person stiffened and threw out the jade slip on his body.
Time was pressing. Lin Feng couldn't care about how to fight. Seizing jade slips was the priority. Fight quickly. In a short moment, he forced more than ten people to hand over their jade slips. He, Dan Tai, and Great Pest each took five jade slips in their hands and stepped toward the closing castle. There was only one door.
"The castle contains void power. We will probably be teleported to different positions again. If you encounter danger, immediately send a long howl to notify me." Lin Feng said as he walked. Holding the jade slip, he pressed it directly onto the castle gate. Then they all passed through the castle's void gate. The stars shifted. When their bodies descended again, Lin Feng was already on a mountain peak.
"Indeed, it's a strange small world. Those assessing people can probably walk in and find me at any time. Everything that happens here is probably being watched." Lin Feng gazed into the distance, then his figure flickered, speeding through the void like the wind. Since he was being watched, there was no need to hide. He would just fly in the open.
Great Pest was teleported to a jungle area. As soon as he landed, he felt a powerful aura descending from the sky. A vast killing aura pressed down like Mount Tai from the sky. A fierce dragon energy surged up, shaking the void. The person in the void continuously stomped on the sky, causing the entire void to tremble. Great Pest felt his body unstable, and a fierce wind swept through the space.
"So powerful." Great Pest's expression stiffened. Then a void attack descended from the sky, blasting his body into the earth, pressing down so he couldn't breathe.
"Roar!" A rolling dragon roar shook the void, spreading in all directions.
Dan Tai was also not having an easy time. As soon as he entered this area, a powerful person attacked him madly. No matter how fierce his strength was, he still retreated battle after battle. He couldn't help but roar: "Son of a bitch, deliberately retaliating against me, roar."
Lion roars also shot up into the sky. Lin Feng, who was stepping through the void, suddenly stopped. His face turned cold. Fast moves. Lion roar and dragon roar. Dan Tai and Great Pest had sent out distress signals at the same time. It seemed the other side had directly sent two powerful people to intercept them. What made Lin Feng even more frustrated was that Great Pest and Dan Tai were in two different directions. If he wanted to rescue them, he could only save one.
Little did he know that at this moment, outside, Yu Hou's gaze was fixed on his position. Pointing at the direction he stood on the miniature version of the world, he said: "This person has great talent and strength, with the potential to become a member of War King Academy. However, his assessment must be strengthened. Who is willing to be the first to go and test his full strength?"
