Chapter 1798: Unwavering Conviction of Victory
Lin Feng's arrogant voice echoed through the void, causing the faces of the Ji Sect members to turn ashen. However, the man who had just struck Lin Feng's physical body had failed to shake him even slightly. Just how powerful was this guy's physique?
Worthless? The people of his Ji Sect were being humiliated as trash by Lin Feng, unable to move him no matter how hard they struck.
Earlier, Ji Wuyou had proposed a rotation battle against the Heavenly Terrace. Now, Lin Feng was telling the Ji Sect to do whatever they wanted—rotation battle or group battle, it didn't matter.
"When Ji Wuyou proposed the rotation battle, the Heavenly Terrace didn't hold back. Since you're asking for a group battle, my Ji Sect will grant your wish," Yu Wenhou said calmly. He then turned his gaze to the crowd beside him. Instantly, figures surged into the air one after another, causing the onlookers' expressions to stiffen. Was the Ji Sect going too far? Lin Feng might have just been speaking casually, but they were actually going to follow through with a group battle?
"Let five people fight you first, so my Ji Sect can witness your prowess," Yu Wenhou said indifferently, nodding to five specific members of the Ji Sect. Lin Feng's strength was formidable; in the past, Leng Xia and his group had gone and never returned. This time, they would send five to test Lin Feng's capabilities.
"Play it steady, don't rush. If there's an opportunity, crush him. If not, it's better not to act at all," Yu Wenhou transmitted his message. The martial figures stepped forward, and a vast aura swept across the void, crashing straight toward Lin Feng with overwhelming force.
Seeing the rolling figures charging at him, Lin Feng stomped heavily on the ground. Light patterns suddenly emerged, spreading out in all directions, incredibly complex.
"Formation!" The crowd's eyes trembled at the sight of the light patterns. They were clearly the light of sacred marks. Lin Feng was skilled in formations, and now, in a group battle, he was beginning to inscribe one again.
"Boom!" In the void, two ancient cauldrons pressed down, unmistakably the Nine Cauldrons Shaking Heaven Grand Art. Two people had cultivated this power and were now using the cauldrons to suppress Lin Feng with immense force.
But at that moment, dragon roars echoed incessantly, as if a terrifying bloodline power was surging wildly. Behind Lin Feng, a totem light appeared. Within this light was a coiled dragon, but it wasn't an azure dragon. Instead, it was pitch-black, ferocious, and exuding a terrifying demonic light—a demonic dragon. Its entire body seemed to radiate a cold, dark aura of destruction and slaughter.
"Azure Dragon Totem!" The crowd was shocked at the sight. This wasn't Ji Wuyou's Azure Dragon Totem ability; it was more fitting to call it a Demonic Dragon Totem.
"Roar!" Lin Feng's arms blasted out, and two dark demonic dragons seemed to roar from his hands, crashing into the two ancient cauldrons. The cauldrons shattered into pieces. Lin Feng stomped the ground again, launching himself into the air. His hands reached out, and dragon claw phantoms appeared, grabbing at the two men.
The shocked duo's expressions changed drastically. They released vast, sharp auras to destroy the dragon claws.
"Purple River War Chariot!" Lin Feng's right hand trembled repeatedly, as if shaking dozens of times in an instant. Waves of Purple River Chariots rolled out, rumbling and roaring through the void. They crushed through the air and slammed into one of the men, sending him flying back with blood spraying from his mouth.
"The Purple River War Chariot technique seems alive in his hands, with terrifying power," the crowd thought, seeing one man instantly injured by Lin Feng. Then there was the Demonic Dragon Totem and the attack resembling Ji Wuyou's—it was too incredible. Lin Feng naturally couldn't possess the same divine abilities as Ji Wuyou. The only explanation the crowd could think of was the Heavenly Derivation Scripture.
But was this derivation ability too terrifying?
If it were only the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, Lin Feng couldn't have created the Demonic Dragon Totem. But don't forget, Lin Feng also had dragon bloodline. In fact, a dark demonic dragon was being nurtured within his bloodline. The power of bloodline, the power of demons, combined with the Heavenly Derivation Scripture, allowed Lin Feng to manifest a totem phantom. It wasn't the same totem ability as Ji Wuyou's, but the derived attack power was real.
Ji Wuyou stared fixedly at Lin Feng, his expression dark. That was his divine ability, and now Lin Feng was using it against the Ji Sect, making him lose face.
The other four charged at Lin Feng simultaneously, launching attacks. Lin Feng's lips curled into a cold smile. A sword radiated sunlight, blinding the eyes. This sword seemed to illuminate all directions with sword light, cutting off every angle, forcing the advancing four to retreat.
Wind law wrapped around Lin Feng's body. He suddenly appeared before one of them, using no divine ability—just a simple, unadorned punch. But when this punch was thrown, space seemed to freeze momentarily. A terrifying air current swept over the opponent, and with a loud bang, another man was sent flying back, spitting blood.
After enduring two Heavenly Demon Tribulations in Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital and provoking Heaven's Wrath, Lin Feng's physical body had reached the strength of a mid-rank Martial Emperor's body. The power of a single punch was comparable to the law attack of an ordinary mid-rank Martial Emperor. How ferocious was that?
In the blink of an eye, two men had been driven back by Lin Feng. But his movements didn't stop. A sword swept through the void, and a desolate wind-killing force scoured the heavens. The power of immortality caused this wind-killing sword light to seem branded into the void, simultaneously blasting apart the attacks of the remaining three, forcing them to retreat.
"Chaos Heaven Fist!" Lin Feng, wrapped in wind law, simultaneously unleashed Earth Chaos Heaven Fist beams. Rumbling sounds exploded in the air. The power of immortality was infused into them, blasting one man back repeatedly. Unable to withstand the relentless assault, he spat blood and fell toward the ground below.
"Fight together!" Yu Wenhou coldly spat out this command. Instantly, a dozen powerful auras erupted simultaneously. But Lin Feng landed directly on the ground, his feet stepping out repeatedly. Light patterns surged, spreading in all directions. Centered on Lin Feng, a dazzling formation pattern quickly took shape on the battle platform.
"Come on, all of you!" Lin Feng looked at the charging figures, a cold smile on his lips.
"Stop!" At that moment, a rolling voice came from the void, causing the advancing figures to freeze in place. They all looked toward the speaker—it was Ji Wuyou.
"Yu Wenhou, you may have no shame, but the Ji Sect still has its dignity," Ji Wuyou said coldly, his face full of displeasure and icy killing intent. He actually started cursing Yu Wenhou, surprising many. Was Ji Wuyou so angry that he was turning on his own?
Although Lin Feng didn't mind a group battle, Yu Wenhou actually ordering the Ji Sect to fight Lin Feng as a group was truly disgraceful. Regardless of Lin Feng's strength, he was a student who had only been at War King Academy for a year. On their side was the Star Gate, part of the Ji Sect. For the Ji Sect to group battle Lin Feng, in public, on the Hidden King List: Human List battle platform—regardless of the outcome, this battle alone would make the Ji Sect lose all face.
People would say that the entire Ji Sect was inferior to Lin Feng of the Heavenly Terrace alone. This would humiliate everyone in the Ji Sect, and it was no wonder Ji Wuyou was furious.
Yu Wenhou's expression stiffened. He knew his actions were inappropriate, but if they didn't group battle, they could only watch as the Ji Sect members were humiliated one by one and knocked off the platform. That would also be a slap in the face.
The Heavenly Terrace had used a rotation battle against Ji Wuyou, but Ji Wuyou was the number one on the Hidden King List: Human List, hailed as a prodigy. And those from the Heavenly Terrace who fought him all retreated unscathed, none instantly killed or severely humiliated. Comparing the two was ironic enough. No matter the final outcome of today, the rise of the Heavenly Terrace was unstoppable.
Yu Wenhou fell silent. He had nothing more to say.
"Lin Feng, let's settle this in one battle," Ji Wuyou suddenly stepped forward. A vast aura rolled out, and a terrifying pressure filled the entire battle platform. The Azure Dragon Totem appeared, shining in all directions, demonic aura surging, dragon roars echoing.
Lin Feng stomped his foot, directly erasing the formation he had inscribed on the platform. His body slowly rose into the air, and he said coldly, "As you wish."
"Everything today will be reduced to ashes because of this battle. No one will remember the loser," Ji Wuyou said with an unwavering conviction of victory. All the humiliation the Ji Sect had suffered today would be swept away by this battle. As long as he was there, the Star Gate would never be defeated.
"Haven't you been reminded already? That number one spot on the Hidden King List: Human List needs to be moved back a bit," Lin Feng said indifferently. His palm trembled slightly, and a large character floated in the air, clearly visible and shocking. This character was—Contract!
Life and Death Contract, contract of life and death. Lin Feng was proactively contracting Ji Wuyou. The two in the void were equally proud and confident, both believing they would be the victors. So, of course, Ji Wuyou wouldn't refuse this Life and Death Contract.
His hand waved sharply, and the two Contract characters collided in the void. The Life and Death Contract was formed. This battle could decide life and death.
"This Lin Feng is truly a madman," the crowd thought silently. Who was Ji Wuyou? A descendant of the Ji family from Ji Shang's land. If he won, even if Lin Feng was acknowledged by the demon realm giants of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital, Ji Wuyou would still kill him without hesitation. This was Holy City Central Continent.
But if Lin Feng could win, could he kill Ji Wuyou?
Even if they had a Life and Death Contract, if Lin Feng killed Ji Wuyou, what would the situation be?
The Ji Sect's Moon Gate experts who hadn't shown themselves, and even the Sun Gate experts, would all come out to target Lin Feng. The consequences would be something Lin Feng couldn't bear.
Even if Lin Feng left the academy, the Ji family in Holy City Central Continent was a behemoth. If he only contended with Ji Wuyou, the Ji family's elders wouldn't interfere in the younger generation's conflicts. Win or lose, it was Ji Wuyou's own business. If he won, he was strong; if he lost, he needed to become stronger. The Ji family wouldn't intervene. But once Ji Wuyou died, everything would be completely different!
