I'm a magnetic field madman

However, this city was burned to the ground by Yang Guang.
Even the Dugu and Yuwen families, it seems, perished in that fire.
No one wanted to believe it; everyone thought it was just fake news… because it all seemed absurd and terrifying, like a farcical farce.
The Yuwen family, considered to have the potential to conquer the world, was so easily "annihilated"... How could all of this have been accomplished with just a fire?
How could so many powerful families and influential figures in Luoyang, who could have become regional hegemons, have all perished in a single fire?
Everything was bizarrely comical, so comical it sent chills down your spine.
Everyone is chasing the truth, while some are trying to trace the whereabouts of the tyrannical emperor's "escape," and others are trying to find the real answer to the question from other perspectives.
The destruction of Jingnian Temple, which was concealed by the fire in Luoyang, finally came to the attention of the world.
The persecution of Buddhism and the massacre of temples, the burning of mountains and the complete destruction of everything—not a single one of the hundreds of monks at Jingnian Temple survived. The horrific scene at Xiaozhushan in the southern suburbs of Luoyang was so terrifying that even the most cruel person would lose their appetite upon seeing it!
As for who did it, that's not a question that needs to be investigated.
Although the Jingnian Temple was destroyed that day, many high-ranking officials and nobles still came to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha.
They were "lucky" enough to escape the Luoyang fire, but they survived again when the terrifying white-haired demon broke into the Jingnian Temple.
Almost every one of them was driven to the brink of madness by fear, and the information they revealed was unbelievable.
After all, this is still a world that values common sense. No matter how miraculous the martial arts are, the idea of driving a dozen or so giant bronze Arhat statues to kill is still a fantasy!
People are always reluctant to believe things they haven't seen... But in any case, Bai Wujie, who could be said to be the focus of all forces, finally became the "core" in a certain sense.
Some busybodies have compiled information about Bai Wujie's journey since his "debut," revealing that he has done a series of terrible things in less than two months!
After successfully taking down the Jingnian Zen Temple that was trying to steal the headlines, the series of major events he had accomplished finally came to light.
Leaving aside the secret of possessing Yang Gong's treasure vault, from the very beginning of his career, he led two thugs to kill Yuwen Huaji and slaughter the entire chief steward's household...
Subsequently, his disciples slaughtered 30% of the members of the Sea Sand Gang and merged the Giant Kun Gang with the Sea Sand Gang, renaming it the Giant Shark Gang.
After that, he even broke into the Dongming Sect's giant ship, killed and subdued the Dongming Sect, forcing them to submit to him and "sell" all their weapons to the Giant Shark Gang... After that, he went on a killing spree at the birthday banquet of Prince Tong of Dongping!
According to the testimonies of the survivors at Wang Tong's banquet, the man named Bai Wujie defeated a group of peerless masters from the Yin Kui Sect, including Yin Hou, and then used a demonic technique suspected to be "Heavenly Demon Sound" to hallucinate everyone present before finally leaving.
And now, he has actually come to Jingnian Temple and slaughtered everyone in this sacred Buddhist site.
What kind of person is Bai Wujie?
No one knows, because in two months no one can know him well enough... But some people in the world know that he is a peerless master of martial arts with profound skills, and also a ruthless demon who kills without blinking an eye!
Such a person deserves to be feared. And indeed, Bai Wujie's reckless actions have deterred many forces from even considering targeting him.
No one dared to call him that awful nickname, "White-Haired Ghost," anymore...
The gruesome deaths at Wang Tong's birthday banquet served as a stark reminder of the consequences of such contemptuous titles.
The nickname "White-Haired Ghost" has disappeared, replaced by the simple title of "Demon".
While the title "Demon Lord Bai Wujie" isn't exactly flattering, it's at least somewhat less offensive to call him an enemy of the righteous path.
After all, being called a demon by the so-called righteous path is often a form of "praise" that acknowledges you as their greatest enemy.
Once someone becomes a demon, few in this world dare to provoke them. After all, a demon can truly wipe out your entire family.
But there are always some people in this world who don't know what's going on. Just as Bai Wujie said, these clowns only realized their mistake after the knife was cut into their necks.
The holy maiden Shi Feixuan of Cihang Jingzhai was supposed to bring the He Shi Bi down the mountain to Luoyang to select an emperor, but now that Jingnian Zen Temple has been destroyed, Shi Feixuan, who is carrying the He Shi Bi, can only choose another place.
But before that, Shi Feixuan began to rally experts from all over the world, uniting the Li Clan and other major sects, determined to get an explanation from Bai Wujie.
However, before these fools could cause trouble for Bai Wujie, another piece of news about Bai Wujie shocked the entire world.
The Wagang Army changed hands overnight...
The one who seized his throne was someone previously unknown, but who subsequently became famous throughout the land. The former street urchin of Yangzhou, now the Blood Shark King—Kou Zhong!
Luocang one day ago
Since the Wagang Army captured Huiluo Cang, it has become the most powerful force in the world! With hundreds of thousands of Wagang soldiers, they control most of the Central Plains. At their peak, they are the most likely to ascend to the throne!
But like many peasant uprisings, what seems like a powerful rebellion always ends up falling into a vicious cycle of power struggles and eventual collapse.
The Wagang Army was like this. As Li Mi's status in the Wagang Army rose, the title of "Duke of Wei" completely overshadowed the title of Zhai Rang, the true leader of the Wagang Army, forcing him to relinquish his leadership.
Zhai Rang, however, was unwilling to accept defeat and joined forces with Zhai Hong and Wang Ruxin to try to regain control of the group. After some back and forth, Li Mi decided to kill Zhai Rang.
This political struggle is fucking disgusting... Even a pure peasant uprising, in the end, is still a fucking power struggle!
Kou Zhong loathed all of this; the more he learned, the more disgusted he felt and wanted to vomit!
Therefore, he wouldn't bother with such nonsensical and foolish things.
Bai Wujie is right. Politics is such bullshit. It's useless except for dragging yourself down and making you feel disgusted!
So he went directly to Xingyang and joined Wang Shichong and his 20,000 elite Jianghuai soldiers.
Kou Zhong's goal this time is very simple: kill Li Mi and Zhai Rang, seize the Wagang Army, and then sit on the dragon throne!
His ideas were simple and crude, and even his actions were as crude as his ideas. Under normal circumstances, even if Wang Shichong had lost his mind, he would not be able to match Kou Zhong's madness!
But this time was different. Wang Shichong, who had planned to lead his army to Luoyang, had already been kidnapped by Bai Wujie before he even set off... Even if he didn't want to, he could only be forced to go to Luocang.
He also considered either turning the tables on Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling when they weren't paying attention, or leading the team to escape...
However, such thoughts vanished completely after news spread that Luoyang had been burned to the ground.
Wang Shichong suddenly fell into confusion. Luoyang had been burned to the ground. Where should he go?
He didn't know, because Wang Shichong understood that the number of troops he had wasn't actually that many...
Originally, with Xue Shixiong defeated by Dou Jiande, he was the supreme leader of all the armies that came to Luoyang's aid, much like Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period—but now Luoyang is gone, and all he has left are 20,000 elite Jianghuai soldiers...
With nothing but man, even if you want to conquer the world, you might not be able to even take over and hold onto a decent piece of territory!
Moreover, Wang Shichong is not someone with ambitions to conquer the world.
He originally intended to go to the capital to serve the emperor and compete with Yang Guang for a high-ranking official position. He never even considered the idea of vying for the throne!
So even when Kou Zhong dragged Wang Shichong and his troops to Luocang, Wang Shichong actually chose to let it go.
Perhaps he understood that if he disobeyed orders, Kou Zhong would not hesitate to kill him and all his confidants, and then take over his army! Even if less than half of them were lost in the end, Kou Zhong wouldn't care at all!
For the sake of his own life, Wang Shichong may have had a plan—if he lost, he could simply join the Wagang Army.
But Kou Zhong's madness far exceeded Wang Shichong's imagination!
Kou Zhong led Wang Shichong's army straight to Luocang. The central army did not even set up camp before directly leading the troops to the front of the Wagang army to prepare for battle!
Wang Shichong rushed to Kou Zhong's tent like a madman, pleading with him not to be so reckless, saying that the soldiers were exhausted and that even if they were to attack the enemy, they needed to rest properly.
"Rest? Why do we need to rest?"
Kou Zhong, with two beautiful women in his arms, shirtless amidst the ambiguous smoke swirling in the tent, looked at Wang Shichong and sneered.
"What do I need them to do? They don't need to fight for anything. To me, they're just a bunch of cheerleaders!"
Soldiers? Do these things really have any meaning for someone with a strong magnetic field?
He can't be said to be completely useless, but in the life-and-death battles of true powerhouses, his role is far too limited.
“Go and raise an army, put on the best equipment, ride the best horses, and make it look impressive! Then come with me.”
Kou Zhong threw away the two beauties in his arms, put on a blood-red cloak, and even though his face was hidden in the darkness, his blood-red eyes, his white teeth, and his chilling smile were still very conspicuous.
"To hell with scheming and politics! To rule the world, killing is enough!!"
"I see."
Wang Shichong shuddered. His reason told him that Kou Zhong, who could say such things, was just a fucking crazy thug!
However, an absurd idea came to his mind.
Perhaps, just perhaps, Kou Zhong is capable of doing such a thing?
He didn't want to believe it, because his reason and everything he had experienced told him that even the strongest masters were vulnerable in the face of a massive army. But what if, what if Kou Zhong could do everything he said?
Then perhaps everything in this world will be as Kou Zhong said! What need is there for schemes and politics? All you need is to know how to kill!
Donning a blood-red cloak, Kou Zhong picked up two massive, heavy swords forged from fine iron, while behind him stood an army assembled by Wang Shichong.
As Kou Zhong said, this was an elite force entirely equipped with heavy armor. They looked imposing, but in reality, the fatigue of the past few days and the excessive weight of their equipment meant they couldn't exert much of their strength.
Upon receiving Wang Shichong's orders, they were surprised and puzzled. When they heard that they were to follow Kou Zhong into battle, they thought they were going to their deaths.
But they had to go, because if they went they might be able to escape from the battlefield, but if they didn't go... they would die now.
They were filled with resentment, and each of them probably wanted to stab Kou Zhong in the back!
Such an army, let alone morale and loyalty, would be lucky if they didn't turn tail and run on the battlefield.
But so what? Kou Zhong never placed his hopes on these weaklings. On this battlefield, he only believed in himself, he only believed in the sword in his hand! He believed in his own fists!
Below the outposts of the Luocang Wagang Army, a figure in a red cloak carrying a giant blade led a squad of heavily armored cavalry across the Luo River and stopped in front of the camp.
Soon, the gates of the Wagang Army's camp were opened, and a strong, muscular young general in silver armor and a black robe, wielding a horse spear, led his men out. Standing on a high point, he arrogantly addressed Kou Zhong...
“I am Shan Xiongxin of Wagang! Who comes here? State your name.”
Their attitude was casual; they were even joking and laughing.
They believed that Wang Shichong, who had brought 20,000 troops, was either there to die or to surrender.
Why should we respect a defeated general? They looked down at Kou Zhong, mocking, ridiculing, and despising him.
"Name? Remember it well, because this will be the last name you ever remember in your life!"
Kou Zhong slowly drew the two giant blades from his back, grinned maliciously, and then leaped into the air, instantly traversing hundreds of meters under the impetus of extremely powerful electric current!
Shan Xiongxin's expression changed drastically, and he immediately raised his lance to defend himself.
Without a doubt, his martial prowess was among the best in the Wagang Army!
Just like Lü Bu, the Marquis of Wen during the Three Kingdoms period, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to be reused after repeatedly changing positions.
However, this time, he chose the wrong opponent!
The raised lance was instantly severed in half by the terrifying giant blade... and he himself was torn in two, starting from the top of his forehead!
Countless streams of blood sprayed into the sky, and amidst the endless waves of blood, Kou Zhong laughed wildly, his blood-red eyes now filled with boundless, frenzied pleasure. In the midst of war and slaughter, the Heavenly Martial Killing Path rewarded him with indescribable, immense joy!
"I am Kou Zhong, the Blood Shark King!"
26. To fight the world single-handedly
"Congratulations, Lord Wei! Congratulations, Lord Wei!"
Inside the large camp behind Luocang, wine cups were clinking and the entire hall, illuminated by lights, was filled with laughter and flattery.
Although Zhai Rang, seated at the head of the table, was the nominal leader...
However, the center of the entire hall was undoubtedly skewed towards Li Mi, who was smiling to his right, and Wang Bodang and Xu Shiji, who were beside him.
This is because, under Li Mi's leadership, they have decisively defeated Luo Cang and are not far from capturing Luoyang!
What's more, they just received even more exciting news.
Luoyang, with its hundred-foot-high walls, was burned to ashes by that tyrannical emperor.
Whether it was the city's garrison or the refugees, most of them were reduced to ashes!
Although they were heartbroken about the treasures inside Luoyang, they were even happier that they could take Luoyang without losing a single soldier!
All that remains is to capture Luoyang, in addition to the half of the Central Plains currently controlled by the Wagang Army.
If they can't conquer the world, then who is qualified?
Inside the main hall, Li Mi, Wang Bodang, and their entourage were all smiles, their faces flushed from drinking too much.
Every word they spoke concerned matters of the world, and their smiles grew wider and wider, as if they had already become the masters of this world!
Only Zhai Rang remained silent, for he was far from happy. He was now in a desperate situation, with no way out. If Li Mi hadn't spared him some face, he would probably have been deposed long ago.
He, "Chao Gai," was about to be ousted by "Song Jiang," but Li Mi was far more ruthless and ruthless than Song Jiang.
How could Zhai Rang be happy about this? If the world were unified, and the world truly belonged to Li Mi, what would Zhai Rang be then?
"Isn't the leader happy? That tyrant burned Luoyang to the ground. We can take the eastern capital tomorrow and truly conquer the Central Plains."
Li Mi noticed Zhai Rang's gloomy expression and, seemingly deliberately, raised his wine cup with a smile. Zhai Rang forced a smile and said indifferently...
