"A life-and-death contract!!!"
"It's actually a life-and-death contract. What is Chu Feng trying to do?"
"Is he really so confident that he can defeat Linghu Hongfei? He's betting his own life?"
"No, he must have heard the Heavenly Secret Venerable's prophecy. He knows that if he came today, death was inevitable, so… he wants to fight with everything on the line."
"Death is coming either way, so he might as well go all out. Perhaps he can even drag someone down with him before the end. It seems he's come prepared to die."
"But if that's really the case, then things are unfolding exactly as the Heavenly Secret Venerable prophesied. This isn't a simple spar — it's a battle of life and death."
"Given Linghu Hongfei's current personality, if Chu Feng hadn't signed the life-and-death contract, he might still show some mercy. But once the contract is signed, Chu Feng's life is as good as gone."
At that moment, the countless figures above and below the sky all wore the exact same expression.
None of them could understand Chu Feng's actions.
"You actually want to sign a life-and-death contract? What, have you lived long enough and are in a hurry for me to send you on your way?" Linghu Hongfei asked.
"If I lose, you're free to kill me. But don't worry — if you lose, I won't take your dog's life," Chu Feng said.
"What? Signing a life-and-death contract but not taking the other party's life? What does that even mean?"
Chu Feng's words left everyone bewildered.
"Chu Feng, are you insulting me?" Linghu Hongfei asked.
"No. I don't want your life. I only want your eyes."
As Chu Feng spoke, he pointed directly at Linghu Hongfei's eyes.
The moment these words left Chu Feng's mouth, everyone suddenly understood.
Chu Lingxi, in particular, had a different kind of light surging within her beautiful eyes.
Chu Feng's intention was crystal clear — he was seeking revenge on behalf of Chu Lingxi.
"So that's it. You want revenge, do you? What a pity. It's a fine idea, but your strength simply can't back it up," Linghu Hongfei said with a mocking shake of his head.
"Do you even know what level of strength I possess?" Chu Feng asked.
Chu Feng not only said this with a smile, but as the words left his lips, a certain aura radiated from every inch of his body.
It was confidence — an incredibly powerful confidence!!!
Such a Chu Feng made even Linghu Hongfei's gaze shift for a moment, but soon, extreme displeasure surged in his eyes once more.
"It seems you're dead set on seeking death today."
"If I sign this life-and-death contract, then your life is mine."
"Don't say I, Linghu Hongfei, never gave you a chance. If you regret this now, there's still time," Linghu Hongfei said.
"I've already signed my name. It's your turn," Chu Feng said.
"Hmph."
With that, Linghu Hongfei let out a cold snort, then raised his hand and pointed toward the sky.
Swish, swish, swish—
His finger served as a brush, and with a sweep of his sleeve, the characters appeared. Linghu Hongfei's name was now inscribed upon the life-and-death contract.
Swish—
The moment Linghu Hongfei finished writing his name, Chu Feng made yet another astonishing move.
He did not put away the life-and-death contract. Instead, he tossed it toward a figure in the crowd.
That figure was none other than the Heavenly Secret Venerable.
Chu Feng's actions left people puzzled.
As far as they knew, Chu Feng and the Heavenly Secret Venerable had no connection whatsoever.
"I'll have to trouble you, Senior, to serve as a witness."
