# Chapter 1751: The Assassin Jing Shou
"Sign!" Xi Mu certainly never expected Lin Feng to dare sign a life-and-death contract. Without such a contract, even if he defeated Lin Feng, he could at most torment him. Even if he wanted to kill Lin Feng and demanded a life-and-death contract, Lin Feng, as a newcomer ranked eighteenth on the Hidden King List: Human List, could completely and openly refuse, and no one would say anything.
However, Lin Feng not only took the initiative to invite him onto the Hidden King List battle platform, but also proposed a life-and-death contract.
Xi Mu, for once, became less confident. In terms of momentum, he seemed somewhat weaker. A newcomer who had just stepped into War King Academy dared to propose a life-and-death contract to him. If he wasn't foolish, then he must possess extraordinary strength.
At this moment, Lin Feng's pupils were deep and profound, as if they could draw one's gaze into their depths. Having arrived at War King Academy without a firm foothold, troubles came one after another, vexing and irritating. If this continued, striking down one only to have a stronger one come, it would never end. In that case, he might as well be ruthless. If they wanted to come looking for him, they had better think carefully before doing so.
"What are you waiting for?" Lin Feng said calmly, causing Xi Mu's eyes to tremble slightly. Then his palm suddenly waved, the void trembled, and another "contract" character shot out, intertwining with Lin Feng's contract character. The surrounding crowd's pupils contracted slightly. A life-and-death contract sealed life and death.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish." Xi Mu's body erupted with overwhelming, turbulent baleful aura, blazing like the sun at its zenith. He reversed his form and directly blasted downward.
In an instant, Lin Feng felt enveloped by a terrifying force, causing his body to feel extremely uncomfortable. The aura within him wavered chaotically, restless and uneasy.
"What kind of law power is this?" Lin Feng's mind trembled slightly. He released his law power, yet he felt his own laws somewhat disordered, as if there was a faint sense of instability. The other party's primordial power seemed capable of throwing his laws into chaos.
"Boom!" A terrifying storm fist descended from that dreadful primordial aura, hurtling straight toward the top of Lin Feng's head. The astonishing fist light shattered everything, causing Lin Feng's laws to waver once more, while Xi Mu's fist was still about to land.
"Primordial Law-Annihilating Fist." The crowd stared at Xi Mu. This fist technique was overbearing, its power terrifying. It disrupted laws, causing them to become chaotic and unable to coalesce, suppressed the body, making even the blood in one's flesh seem to flow backward. With a slight misstep, it could blast you to death with a single punch. Xi Mu had also fully integrated his own law power into the Primordial Law-Annihilating Fist, making its might even more terrifying. Even his own laws could barely be sensed, leaving only the intent to annihilate laws.
Xi Mu appeared harmless, like a scholar in white robes, but when he attacked, the storm rolled fiercely, extremely sharp. Many who fought him were killed in a single blow.
"Strip!" Xi Mu's hand grasped, and instantly a terrifying force fell upon Lin Feng, intending to completely throw his laws into chaos, stripping away his law power, preventing Lin Feng from gathering them.
"Is Lin Feng seeking death? He still hasn't moved." The crowd saw Lin Feng still standing in place, their hearts trembling inwardly. This Primordial Law-Annihilating Fist, combined with Xi Mu's stripping law power, was said to be invincible at close range. If your laws were thrown into chaos and stripped away, how could you still fight? Even if your physical body reached the emperor level, it couldn't compare to the ferocity of law attacks. Death was certain.
Even Jing Shou revealed a hint of surprise. Lin Feng had signed a life-and-death contract. Was he truly seeking death?
"Lin Feng is finished." The crowd saw Xi Mu already upon Lin Feng's body, and their pupils contracted slightly. On the Hidden King List: Human List, in close-quarters combat, Xi Mu was called the second best, second only to Jing Shou, who ranked ahead of him. At such close range, with Lin Feng's laws thrown into chaos and stripped, aside from Jing Shou, even those in the top ten of the Hidden King List: Human List, facing Xi Mu at this distance, would likely face mortal danger.
It seemed Lin Feng didn't understand Xi Mu, which led to today's tragedy.
At this moment, within the rolling, terrifying storm, the dreadful primordial aura nearly buried Lin Feng's body. A cold killing intent curled at the corner of Xi Mu's mouth. In his eyes, Lin Feng was already a dead man.
"Strip!" The terrifying stripping power sought to peel away the laws, while at the same time, the fierce primordial fist intent descended, enveloping Lin Feng's body.
"Strip?" Lin Feng's pupils were cold. He still didn't dodge or evade. An overwhelming, vast power erupted from his body, as if the dark demonic tribulation of the nine heavens had descended, intertwining with the terrifying lightning law power. In an instant, it coiled around Xi Mu's body, rolling and blasting out. This scene caused Xi Mu's face to instantly turn pale, his expression shifting drastically. What was happening?
The law-chaos power and stripping law power had failed to strip Lin Feng's laws? With his mastery of these two forces, at such close range, even if Lin Feng's laws were at the seventh or eighth layer, they should still be stripped. Yet at this moment, Lin Feng effortlessly gathered terrifying, formidable power.
Close-quarters attack? With Lin Feng's powerful physical body, multi-element laws, Heavenly Demon Tribulation Force, and Demon God Judgment, would he fear such a collision?
"Tribulation Sword, Return to One." Lin Feng roared. A pitch-black, destructive sword light slashed out in an instant. Nine tribulations returned to one, transforming into a demonic streak of light, instantly colliding with the opponent's fist light. It exploded wildly. Demon God Judgment, carrying various powers, blasted out with irresistible momentum. Lin Feng's entire body also shot upward like an arrow.
The two bodies were now too close. The attack was instantaneous. A terrifying demonic light pierced through the primordial power, and then in the void, two figures collided. The rolling, dreadful aura seemed to vanish in an instant. Everything dissipated into smoke.
"What happened?" The crowd stared at the two motionless figures in the void. Who had won, who had lost?
Lin Feng, how had he just gathered such a powerful attack?
"Why?" A weak voice emerged from Xi Mu's mouth, drifting into Lin Feng's ears. He still didn't know why he had lost. Clearly, Lin Feng was in a certain-death situation. Why could he gather such powerful multi-element law attacks? His law-chaos and stripping had no effect at all?
"My laws are not bound by this world's heavens and earth. They belong solely to me." A voice directly drifted into Xi Mu's mind. Then, the terrifying power completely exploded within his body. Lin Feng's figure drifted back. With a rumbling sound, Xi Mu's body exploded, his laws dissipated, vanishing from heaven and earth.
"Xi Mu is dead." The crowd watched this scene, feeling somewhat unreal. Xi Mu, ranked eighteenth on the Hidden King List: Human List, had been instantly killed by Lin Feng. They hadn't even figured out where Xi Mu had failed or why he had lost. Xi Mu himself probably didn't understand, which was why, before dying, he asked "why."
What answer had Lin Feng given?
Only Lin Feng and the dead Xi Mu knew why. His law-chaos and stripping were both formed against the laws of this heaven and earth, not direct attacks. But for martial artists, they were more terrifying and more vicious than direct attacks. If your laws were thrown into chaos and stripped, how could you still gather power to fight? When martial artists unleashed attacks, laws were paramount.
However, Lin Feng happened to be the natural enemy of such power. His laws were unconventional, not subject to restriction. Thus, Xi Mu died in a single battle.
Jing Shou's hands were still tucked into his sleeves. A hint of interest appeared in his eyes. Among this batch of newcomers, two had already stepped onto the Hidden King List. Lin Feng had taken Xi Mu's position, becoming the eighteenth seat on the Hidden King List: Human List.
At this moment, Lin Feng felt a tremor at his brow. It was the War King Token trembling. Lin Feng discovered that the "one" character on the War King Token had changed to a "ten" character. The War King Token had advanced, directly jumping to a level ten War King Token.
"Such a fast reaction speed." Lin Feng was inwardly surprised. The battle had only just ended moments ago, and someone had already modified the mother War King Token's level, causing the son War King Token at his brow to advance. This reaction speed was terrifying. War King Academy possessed a vast, secret control system, operating continuously like an empire.
Lin Feng raised his head and swept his gaze over the surrounding people without saying another word. Xi Mu's death had already expressed his stance. If anyone else wanted to cause trouble, they had better be prepared to sign a life-and-death contract.
"Refreshing." Tantai showed a delighted expression. It seemed he would also have to find someone with a lower ranking to challenge another day. Otherwise, Lin Feng's War King Token was already level ten, while his was only level one. That was truly embarrassing.
Lin Feng's figure moved like the wind, landing before Jing Shou. He smiled and nodded at him. "Thank you for leading the way."
Jing Shou looked at Lin Feng, his smile warm and gentle. He said to Lin Feng, "Would you mind leaving a mark on your communication jade slip?"
"Of course not." Lin Feng smiled and took out his communication jade slip. Jing Shou then left a wisp of his divine sense on it, saying, "Perhaps we'll have more chances to interact in the future."
With that, Jing Shou flickered and departed. From beginning to end, Lin Feng never saw his palms — the hands that killed.
"Lin Feng, that man is the Assassin Jing Shou, right? Ranked second on the Hidden King List: Human List. They say he kills whenever he makes a move. Very dangerous." Tantai stared at the departing figure, murmuring softly.
"Indeed, he's different. He won't even let people see those hands." Lin Feng smiled. How strong was the person ranked second on the Hidden King List: Human List?
Such a person should have few opponents at the low-rank emperor level. As for ordinary low-rank emperors from the outside world, he could probably sweep and slaughter them with ease.
"I'll go take a walk around War King Hall. Don't easily accept others' life-and-death contracts. As newcomers, it's not shameful to refuse." Lin Feng said with a smile, then headed toward War King Hall. War King Hall contained everything, including those formidable divine abilities. He could look for a divine ability technique that could match his law fusion.
