# Chapter 179: Driven to Death
"Sonic attack."
Lin Feng's mind trembled violently. The sword in his hand could no longer remain indestructible, shattering everything.
Moreover, this violent sound caused Lin Feng's movements to pause briefly. How could this certain-kill strike, which had fused many artistic conceptions, tolerate such a momentary halt?
What's more, Lin Feng was facing the powerful Black Demon, who had used a secret technique to reach the Seventh Layer of Spirit Martial Realm.
"Kill!"
An extremely violent voice rang out. Black Demon's bare upper body was covered in demonic patterns that rolled wildly, his body radiating terrifying destructive power.
"Boom!"
The space trembled violently. Lin Feng's sword pierced into Black Demon's skin, but only left a shallow trace of blood. His body, however, was sent flying by that violent and frenzied force.
With a soft thud, Lin Feng's body fell to the ground, blood spraying from his mouth.
The space fell deathly silent again. Defeated. In this battle, had Lin Feng ultimately lost?
Was it because Lin Feng's strength was inferior to Black Demon's? Clearly not. Even someone as powerful as Black Demon had nearly been killed by Lin Feng's certain-kill sword strike. If not for Yu Chou's roar, Black Demon would likely be a dead man by now. Just as Lin Feng had said, when Black Demon showed cowardice and hesitation, losing his fearless momentum, he was already defeated.
Black Demon was inferior to Lin Feng.
But Yu Chou had interfered, affecting the outcome of this challenge, casting an unfair shadow over what had been an incredibly exciting battle. However, Yu Chou was the Third Master of the Yu family — who dared to speak against him?
Just as Yu Chou himself had said, if someone offended the Yu family, even the Heavenly One Academy would be destroyed by them, let alone a disciple of the Heavenly One Academy.
Lin Feng, fallen to the ground, slowly raised his eyes toward the viewing platform, looking at Yu Chou. His pupils were filled with endless coldness and ice.
"Shameless!"
Lin Feng's gaze was filled with boundless killing intent. However, he knew that before Yu Chou, he was nothing. If he tried to kill Yu Chou, it would only be seeking death.
The world where the strong are revered was just this naked — there was no shame to speak of. If one's strength was great, one could do as one pleased. Who dared to say a word?
Meng Qing's body trembled. She returned to Lin Feng's side and helped him up. Her indifferent yet beautiful brows also carried a trace of coldness as she asked, "How are you?"
"I'm fine." Lin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His proud figure stood up once again, his spine still straight as an arrow.
"What a proud young man."
The crowd looked at Lin Feng's upright figure, a trace of admiration rising in their hearts.
Lin Feng's performance today had shocked them too much. At the Fifth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm, he had forced Black Demon, one of the top ten disciples of the Heavenly One Academy, to use his full strength, even relying on a secret technique to fuse with the Black Lotus, raising his strength to the Seventh Layer of Spirit Martial Realm. And when Meng Qing wanted to intervene, Lin Feng had stopped her. A man, why fear a battle? If defeated, better to die.
Then, when everyone thought Lin Feng would surely lose, he broke through. His burning battle intent raised his strength to the Sixth Layer of Spirit Martial Realm. With an absolutely dominant posture, he thrust out a certain-kill strike. Although this strike ultimately failed, destroyed by Yu Chou's interference, Lin Feng had used his strength and tenacity to earn the crowd's respect.
Even if he died in battle, Lin Feng's spine could still stand proudly.
Black Demon stood there, looking at Lin Feng with complex eyes. At this moment, there was no longer that arrogance or invincibility in his gaze.
He knew very well that in this battle, he had actually lost. If Yu Chou hadn't intervened, Lin Feng's sword would have pierced his heart and taken his life.
But Lin Feng wasn't looking at him. His gaze was fixed solely on Yu Chou, as if Black Demon no longer existed in Lin Feng's eyes. This made Black Demon feel even more self-mocking.
The entire space fell into silence, oppressive, making everyone feel uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, a light laugh broke the silence. The Second Prince looked at the people on the battle platform and said, "Both of you are very strong, with extraordinary talent. The death of either would be a loss to the Heavenly One Academy and to Snow Moon. Dean Long, let this battle end here."
Duan Wuya only wanted to stop this battle from continuing, but he didn't blame Yu Chou for interfering. As if no matter the circumstances, he remained as calm as ever. No one knew what he was thinking.
Long Ding glanced at Duan Wuya, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes. Then he looked at the people from the Yu family and the Nie family, seeming to understand something. He nodded and said, "Alright, let this battle end here."
The Nie family members said nothing. Ending it here was fine, after all, Black Demon's victory wasn't exactly glorious. If he took advantage of Lin Feng's injury to kill him, it would invite criticism and contempt, and Black Demon wouldn't be able to hold his head high.
"Heh heh, since this is a life-and-death battle, how can it end midway? Disciples of the Heavenly One Academy shouldn't be cowards, right?"
Yu Chou spoke indifferently again, sneering as he looked at Long Ding. The crowd's gazes contracted. Yu Chou wanted to drive Lin Feng to death.
Moreover, he deliberately said that disciples of the Heavenly One Academy shouldn't be cowards, trying to block Long Ding's mouth. What a venomous person.
Lin Feng had offended him, so he made things difficult in every way, insisting on Lin Feng's life. He didn't even give face to the Second Prince.
Yu Chou, a member of the Yu family, was indeed arrogant.
Long Ding stared at Yu Chou, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, an indifferent voice rang out.
"Disciples of the Heavenly One Academy are certainly not cowards. Do you think they're like your Yu family?"
The speaker was naturally Lin Feng. His gaze was still fixed on Yu Chou, his voice cold. The crowd sighed inwardly — this guy was truly crazy, daring to offend Yu Chou again. Didn't he want to live?
But they never considered that Yu Chou already wanted Lin Feng's life. Whether Lin Feng offended him again or not, what difference did it make?
"A man about to die dares to speak wildly." Yu Chou's eyes narrowed slightly, a thread of killing intent blooming from his gaze, stabbing toward Lin Feng: "When has my Yu family ever had cowards? What right do you have to mention us?"
"What right do I have to mention you?" Lin Feng sneered, taking a step forward, and said, "I want to ask you, how is the strength of your Yu family? And how are the young people of the Yu family?"
"The power of my Yu family shakes the Imperial City. We could easily destroy your Heavenly One Academy. What do you think of my Yu family's strength?" Yu Chou said mockingly. "As for the young people of my Yu family, they are naturally dragons and phoenixes among men."
"Dragons and phoenixes among men? Shameless. A bunch of scum, and you call them dragons and phoenixes among men."
Lin Feng sneered coldly, making Yu Chou's eyes narrow even more. But Lin Feng didn't care. Pointing at the two young men beside Yu Chou, he said, "These two are older than me, right? I, Lin Feng, now challenge both of them to a life-and-death battle. You dragons and phoenixes among men of the Yu family, do you dare to accept?"
Yu Chou and the two young men beside him all contracted their gazes, staring fixedly at Lin Feng. This guy actually dared to provoke them like this. Unfortunately, the strength of these two young men was indeed inferior to Lin Feng's. Seeing that even Black Demon had almost been killed by Lin Feng, how could they dare to accept?
Yu Chou hadn't expected Lin Feng to pull this move either. His gaze flickered for a moment, then he sneered and said, "The people of my Yu family are not someone you can casually challenge."
"Cowards." Before Yu Chou could finish speaking, Lin Feng said coldly, "If you don't dare, then don't dare. Why deceive yourselves and put on a grand facade? Dragons and phoenixes among men? They're nothing but scum. One of them was beaten by me in the prison arena last time. I wonder if his injuries have healed. As for the other, I've humiliated him too. Too useless to take revenge themselves, so they find elders. Such dragons and phoenixes among men are truly laughable."
Lin Feng's words surprised the crowd slightly. So Lin Feng had indeed humiliated two young men of the Yu family before. No wonder Yu Chou was dealing with Lin Feng like this.
Lin Feng continued, "But seeing this elder of the Yu family, I can guess what kind of people the younger generation is. So I'm not too surprised. Cowardice is one thing, but being thick-skinned and shameless, losing all face yet still being smug and self-satisfied — I want to ask, are all the people of your Yu family this shameless?"
Lin Feng's words made the crowd's hearts tremble, sweating for him. As for Yu Chou, he stared at Lin Feng, his killing intent growing stronger and stronger.
"Such a cowardly and shameless family. Someone who attacks by surprise but doesn't even dare to admit it, who is despicable and shameless yet still smug — and still has the face to sit on the viewing platform. I really wonder if your face is stuck to your ass. Too thick."
Lin Feng seemed to have no idea what fear meant, his voice continuing.
