# Chapter 1747: Destruction
"Life and death contract, sealing life and death." The surrounding crowd showed interested expressions, all standing with hands behind their backs in the void, watching the situation between Lin Feng and Shan Meng.
Today was the War King Academy's assessment day, and it was indeed quite lively. They had just heard that a newcomer had directly and forcefully broken into the Hidden King List: Human List at the thirtieth position, and now another newcomer was directly proposing a life and death contract with Shan Meng. This batch of new students was truly interesting.
What intrigued them even more was that Shan Meng seemed very hesitant. This undoubtedly confirmed that the newcomer proposing the life and death contract was no ordinary character.
"It seems Shan Meng wanted to bully a newcomer, arranging for him to stay in a remote courtyard, refusing to give him the War King Token, and trying to extort him. Instead, he got confronted at his doorstep and directly challenged to a life and death contract." The crowd understood clearly and quickly deduced the cause and effect of the matter, watching Shan Meng with great interest. Would this guy dare to accept the life and death contract?
"You don't know the rules. Do you even know what a War King Contract is?" Shan Meng said coldly.
"Will you accept it or not?" Lin Feng shouted coldly, stepping forward. A sharp aura emanated from him, pressing and threatening. Was Shan Meng trying to change the subject with words? Today, Shan Meng would either die in battle or lose all reputation. He dared to bully newcomers but didn't dare to accept a newcomer's War King Contract. Once word spread, how could Shan Meng continue to show his face in War King Academy?
Shan Meng's words were cut off, and his expression grew colder. At that moment, a figure rolled in and spoke toward them: "What's going on here?"
"Tian Wuji." Seeing the newcomer, a hint of joy appeared on Shan Meng's face. He then shifted his gaze away from Lin Feng and looked at Tian Wuji instead, saying: "There's a clueless newcomer who actually wants to establish a life and death contract. I can't be bothered to argue with him. Brother Tian, it's been a while. Your cultivation must have improved, right? Why don't you teach this arrogant newcomer a lesson and let everyone see your prowess? At the same time, let some newcomers know their place."
Seeing this, the crowd showed strange expressions. Tian Wuji's timing was indeed perfect. Shan Meng was also quite cunning. Tian Wuji was a strong expert on the Hidden King List: Human List, ranked forty-first. Like Shan Meng, he was a member of the Ji Sect, but his strength far surpassed Shan Meng's, who wasn't even on the Hidden King List. Although Shan Meng's strength wasn't bad, within the powerful Ji Sect, he was somewhat insignificant, only handling some miscellaneous affairs.
"It seems this newcomer is in for trouble. Tian Wuji will obviously help Shan Meng with this." The crowd thought to themselves.
"Are newcomers nowadays this arrogant?" Tian Wuji said, looking at Lin Feng, then stepped forward.
"Scram." Lin Feng's pupils swept over Tian Wuji in front of him, and he coldly spat out a single word, causing Tian Wuji's pupils to contract slightly. The look in his eyes became even more interesting.
"Interesting. Newcomers nowadays seem to know less and less their place. It seems Shan Meng is right—they need to see themselves clearly and not think they're still being coddled like they were outside." Tian Wuji's voice carried a hint of coldness. Of course, he understood what kind of people could enter War King Academy—all were disciples of ancient clans or those with extraordinary talent. Outside, they were certainly treated like stars around the moon. However, they might not have realized that in War King Academy, any random stone you threw would hit an external genius.
These newcomers who had just stepped into the academy needed one or two battles to make them feel whether they had the right to be proud.
"Tian Wuji, ranked forty-first on the Hidden King List. Today, this senior brother will spar with you. Don't worry, you're a newcomer, so I'll go easy on you." Tian Wuji sneered.
"This guy is really damn long-winded. I told you to scram." Tantai cursed angrily. Why did this guy's words sound so grating? Ranked forty-first on the Hidden King List—was that supposed to be impressive? Qin Wu was ranked twenty-ninth, and Lin Feng had still taken him down. After some time, he would definitely break into this Hidden King List and have some fun, so these donkeys on the list wouldn't be so arrogant.
"Oh?" Tian Wuji's expression froze. The smile that had been on his face turned even colder. "Truly ungrateful."
"You scram for now. If you want to teach me a lesson, there's no need to rush. After Shan Meng signs the life and death contract and I kill him, you can do whatever you want. Otherwise, I'm afraid if I fight you first, Shan Meng will shrink back even more." Lin Feng said calmly, then looked at Shan Meng with a mocking expression: "You don't need to use this person as an excuse for not daring to fight. Today, I must first establish a life and death contract with you. If you don't dare, just say so plainly, so we don't waste each other's time."
"Shan Meng, since you dared to do those despicable things, why hide your head and tail? If you don't dare to fight, give your courtyard mansion to my brothers, hand over the War King Token, and kneel down to apologize. My brothers might just let it go." Tantai sneered. Didn't dare to fight? Even if Shan Meng didn't dare to accept the challenge today, they would still make him lose all reputation. Wasn't he very good at throwing his weight around? He wanted them to come visit him to get the War King Token?
Well, they had indeed come to 'visit' him now!
"It seems these people aren't going to let Shan Meng off." The crowd showed interested expressions. First, put Tian Wuji aside. After Lin Feng settled accounts with Shan Meng, then he would fight with you.
Lin Feng and his group certainly weren't going to let Shan Meng off. Shan Meng had been pressing them step by step. Since that was the case, it was time for him to taste the consequences.
"Tian Wuji, stand aside and watch. If you want to fight, do it after Lin Feng and Shan Meng finish." Qin Wu also spoke at this moment, saying to Tian Wuji, then looked at Shan Meng: "As for you, you're also a student of War King Academy. When you bullied others, you were proud and arrogant. Now you're shrinking back like a rat. Fight or not? Can you be straightforward?"
"Qin Wu." Shan Meng completely hated Qin Wu now. But facing the pressing Lin Feng and his group, he had no way to retreat. He could only steel himself and say: "I accept."
"Very good." A cold light flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. He then struck out a beam of light with his palm, which turned out to be a contract character, floating directly into the void. He said coldly: "Life and death contract, sealing life and death, regardless of life or death."
This was the method Qin Wu had taught him—the steps of the life and death contract. Only after completing the life and death contract could a life-and-death battle be conducted within the academy. Otherwise, even challenges on the Hidden King List couldn't kill an opponent.
Without a life and death contract, no killing was allowed. This was one of War King Academy's iron laws.
"Life and death contract, sealing life and death, regardless of life or death." Shan Meng also struck out a beam of light, blasting it into the void. The two life and death contracts collided and then dissipated into smoke. The contract was established. Life-and-death battle—the academy would not interfere.
Seeing the two carve the life and death contract, Tian Wuji stepped back to give them space for battle.
Tantai and the others all looked at Shan Meng with contempt. In their eyes, Shan Meng was already a dead man.
"Whoosh!" Shan Meng's feet stomped violently, and a terrifying gale wrapped around his body as he surged forward, striking first. A terrifying aura crushed everything, pressing toward Lin Feng.
"Kill!" Shan Meng roared, and terrifying war chariots appeared in the void. The tracks of the chariots crushed heaven and earth, charging at Lin Feng with a rumbling roar, crushing everything, destroying everything.
"War King Hall divine ability, Purple River Chariot Battle Qi Technique. How did Shan Meng obtain it?" The crowd showed strange expressions upon seeing this. They hadn't seen Shan Meng use this divine ability before. This technique was fierce and powerful in attack. The war chariots drove through the void like surging rivers, crushing everything, running over the bodies of the strong. Shan Meng shouldn't have been able to obtain it. It seemed joining the Ji Sect did have its benefits.
"Is Lin Feng gathering power? Does he intend to forcefully break the Purple River Chariot Battle Qi Technique? Although Shan Meng's use of this attack doesn't have the finesse of a Hidden King List expert, it's still not easy to directly blast through it." The crowd thought to themselves as they saw strands of destructive power spreading from Lin Feng's palm.
The void war chariots were like purple river waves, all pressing toward Lin Feng, mighty and domineering. They were about to crush Lin Feng, causing the crowd to secretly break out in cold sweat for him.
"Seeking death." Shan Meng shouted coldly, his palm trembling again as he urged the battle qi to release wildly. The war chariots completely pressed toward Lin Feng.
Layers of armor attached themselves to Lin Feng's body. At the same time, his body finally moved. Wind law gathered around him as he fiercely punched forward, directly charging at the rolling war chariots.
"Is this guy crazy?" The crowd's pupils contracted as they saw Lin Feng's body move like flowing light, advancing through the crushing war chariots. The war chariots continuously shattered and broke apart. Lin Feng's entire body was covered in terrifying destructive power, crushing all the war chariots as he directly blasted his way to Shan Meng's front.
"Boom!" A rumbling sound rang out. All the Purple River War Chariots collapsed. Shan Meng was struck in the chest by a fist, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying backward. But Lin Feng carried terrifying flowing light, continuing forward, and mercilessly struck down with another palm. Crunching sounds rang out continuously. The crowd began to sweat for Shan Meng. With this strike, the bones in Shan Meng's body were probably all shattered.
"What terrifying physical strength. Forcefully breaking the Purple River War Chariots, crushing Shan Meng. He's probably already achieved a physical body at the Martial Emperor level." The crowd's hearts trembled. At this moment, Shan Meng was already held in Lin Feng's palm, his face pale as paper. The life and death contract—was it really going to take his life this time?
"Stop." Tian Wuji roared angrily, stepping forward. A terrifying aura pressed down on Lin Feng.
Lin Feng didn't look at Tian Wuji. His icy gaze was fixed on Shan Meng as he said coldly: "War King Token. Hand it over."
"Let me go first." Shan Meng's face was deathly pale. Today's events would completely ruin his reputation, making him despised by others. There was no problem with bullying others as long as you were strong enough. But now he was directly held in someone else's hand, easily killable. This was a disgrace.
"Boom!" A palm strike landed on Shan Meng's body. Crunching sounds rang out again, causing Shan Meng to scream in pain, his face growing even paler.
"You dare." Tian Wuji roared angrily. Lin Feng dared to kill a member of the Ji Sect?
"War King Token." Lin Feng's voice was ice-cold, his gaze tightly fixed on Shan Meng. His killing intent was fully exposed, enveloping Shan Meng. At the same time, his palm was slightly raised again, as if it might strike down once more at any moment, destroying his body!
