Hi there! So, if you don’t want your contacts updated to another phone just make sure you turn off the iCloud on Contacts, to do this go on Settings > iCloud > Saved to iCloud > Deactivate Contacts. Although if you want to erase all the contacts, go to settings > Search for Contacts, select the contact, tap Edit, scroll down, and tap Delete Contact. To confirm, tap Delete Contact again. 

That’s unfortunately the only way I could find to erase your contacts, as for deleting a contact from an email account also deletes it from all devices signed into that account, the process should take a while.

Before doing this, make sure your other device is not linked with your iCloud.
