Is the world's decline entirely their fault? Nonsense! If the world were to enjoy peace and prosperity, how could it be separated from insightful individuals like them?

Those foolish, lowly people, all they do is ruin the world!

The common people live peacefully and obediently, while the gentry enjoy a life of leisure and happiness. Isn't it better if everyone does their part? It's you who are wrong to jump out and disrupt all of this!

We did nothing wrong, you are the ones who are wrong, you are the ones who are wrong!

But these powerless threats were destined to have no effect on Xu Ziling. He couldn't hear them, just as he, being powerful, wouldn't feel the laughable curses of these self-proclaimed noble ants.

And within this grand hall, perhaps only one person agreed with Xu Ziling's words. It was Prince Qin, Li Shimin, who nodded slightly behind his elder brother, Li Jiancheng, and murmured in a voice only he could hear…

"Hey, looks like he's not a complete magnetic field madman after all..."

42.Wu Zun Bi Xuan

"Hey! Young Master Ling, you talk too much nonsense! Is it really necessary to waste so much time talking about this rubbish?"

Kou Zhong chuckled as he looked at Xu Ziling. In his opinion, Xu Ziling's remarks were nothing but a waste of time and nagging!

What's the point of talking to these things that are destined to die?

If you value money and status more than your own life, then I will take away your life and everything else from you!

Since you think you're inherently superior, then try taking one more punch from me. See if your "superiority" will allow you to take that extra punch.

"What heritage, what history, what nobility? Only those who survive have the right to talk about these things... Those who don't survive are just damn stones on display! Just a damn meaningless piece of writing!"

Kou Zhong hadn't received much formal education, and he didn't understand complex principles, but his wisdom allowed him to grasp a simple fact.

The relationship between a minority who control the majority of resources and a majority who control the minority of resources is never healthy! And the quickest way to solve this problem is to kill!

It's not the only way, nor is it the best way, but it's the fastest and least troublesome way!

Kill the minority! Distribute the majority of resources to the majority!

Perhaps in a few decades, the same class and so-called aristocracy will emerge again...

This is something that humans, as social beings, cannot resist due to their inherent instincts.

But when that time comes, we can kill them then!

Naïve ideas, crude methods, but Kou Zhong would undoubtedly act according to these thoughts, and would definitely do it without hesitation!

"You—you are beyond saving!!"

Taking a deep breath, Ning Daoqi confirmed once again that the two teenagers in front of him were no different from Yang Guang—damn, hopeless bastards!

"Are you angry? Good, fucking good! Old man, I heard you're one of the three great grandmasters of the world? Then your brain will definitely make this war a little more respectable!"

Kou Zhong laughed and raised the Overturning Sea and Blood Battle sword in his hand. He had said so much just to provoke this old geezer and let him enjoy the pleasure of a climactic battle.

The shark within him could no longer derive pleasure from slaughtering soldiers and annihilating ordinary people. He craved blood—the blood of masters, the blood of the strong!

However, just as Kou Zhong was about to rush forward, Xu Ziling stopped him.

"Hey!! What have you done?" Kou Zhong looked at his sworn brother with displeasure.

"Calm down, Young Master Zhong, calm down. A wounded prey can't satisfy the shark in your heart..." Xu Ziling looked at the destroyed end of the street and said softly...

"Your opponent is better suited to be there."

Just as Xu Ziling had said, at the end of the road leading to the Daming Palace, a figure carrying a heavy spear was approaching step by step.

Yet, he exuded an eerie and intimidating aura, as if he were a god or demon secretly ruling the vast grasslands. His bronze skin shimmered with a dazzling luster, and his exceptionally long legs made his majestic body seem to reach for the stars. The wild hemp robe draped over his body fluttered in the wind, and his broad, thick hands seemed to contain the power of this world…

The most terrifying force. What is most breathtaking is that it is like a vast ocean full of undercurrents, dynamic yet still, still yet dynamic, making it completely unpredictable.

His jet-black hair was tied back in a bun, and his handsome, ancient-looking face was like a flawless bronze statue. Just look—

A sight that can be unforgettable and leave one with a sense of dread.

A pair of eyes, full of eerie charm, cold yet spirited, were set on his high, straight nose, yet they did not reveal any changes in his inner emotions or feelings, making people feel that he could destroy anyone or anything at any time without feeling any guilt afterward.

There is only one Turk in the world with such imposing presence and majesty. Unlike Ning Daoqi's ethereal nature and Fu Cailin's inner strength, he is arrogant and unrestrained. This is the guardian deity of the Turks, the supreme venerable one on the great grassland, the Martial Venerable Bi Xuan!

"Haha, you're right, Young Master Ling! This guy is the perfect prey for me!"

Kou Zhong laughed loudly and charged towards Bi Xuan without hesitation! With the blood-red waves swaying behind him, he resembled a great white shark frantically rushing towards its prey in the sea.

He landed in front of Bi Xuan, and the Martial Venerable sized him up... sizing up this most promising contender for the future emperor's throne of the Central Plains.

"You are Kou Zhong."

Bi Xuan said in a deep voice, his voice as heavy as his character.

Majestic as a mountain, immovable as a mountain...

"It is I, the Heavenly King!" Kou Zhong slung his twin blades over his shoulder, laughing wildly...

"If you were to ascend the throne in the Central Plains, what would you do to the Turks?"

It was a direct question, but it was one that Bi Xuan had to ask. As one of the three grandmasters, he was a grandmaster born into a "barbarian" tribe, just like Fu Cailin. And like Fu Cailin, they were not only grandmasters, but also gods of their race.

The Turks seemed incredibly powerful, perhaps not as pathetic as Goguryeo. But Bi Xuan knew perfectly well that the Turks' seemingly powerful exterior was nothing compared to the vast, resource-rich, and talent-rich Central Plains.

Moreover, the Turks have now split into two factions, east and west, under Pei Ju's instigation, and Bi Xuan knows that he will find it difficult to reunite the Turks in his lifetime.

Unless he becomes the Khan, the Khan that all the people of the steppes will submit to.

But he was unwilling to do so. Although Bi Xuan was willing to protect the Turks, he was ultimately a person who did not like ruling.

So he came to the Central Plains, fulfilling the promise made by the Li family.

If the Central Plains had to have an emperor, Bi Xuan would rather choose Li Yuan. He wasn't a vicious wolf; if the Central Plains were under his rule, the Turks would have at least a generation of peace.

He accepted Ning Daoqi's request to come to the Central Plains in order to eliminate Yang Guang...

Because he knew that the mad emperor was a lunatic who killed indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe, good or bad.

If he becomes the final victor in the struggle for supremacy in the Central Plains, the Central Plains will certainly be doomed, but the Turks will definitely be wiped out before that!

But Bi Xuan had other choices, and the one standing before him was Kou Zhong: a rising king from humble beginnings, and a man so close to the throne.

If Kou Zhong's answer satisfies Bi Xuan, then it's possible that Bi Xuan might turn around and leave.

"Turks? I don't know any of them from the grasslands, but I've heard they're a group that frequently rob my people." Kou Zhong looked at Bi Xuan and grinned maliciously...

"Damn it, who do you think you are to question me? Fine! Let me tell you, when I become emperor, the first thing I'll do is massacre the Turks!"

I will kill all of your people who are taller than a cartwheel, and turn all of you shorter than a cartwheel into slaves!

I will burn down your grasslands!

I will scatter salt on your land!

I will turn your desert into a wasteland, damn it, are you satisfied with this answer?!

Bi Xuan was a proud and arrogant man; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a question. But Kou Zhong was also that kind of person.

His pride and confidence stemmed from his immense power, and similarly, his power also stemmed from his confidence and arrogance!

To choose to lie in order to drive away an enemy, and to choose to betray one's own people and make humiliating promises?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It's just so impossible!!

"I understand," Bi Xuan said in a deep voice, and at the same time, he made a sudden move!

With his right fist, he fiercely attacked Kou Zhong's heart, but the powerful fist did not generate any wind or energy... However, the surrounding space was scorching hot, as if he were in a furnace!

This is the "Blazing Sun Technique" that Bi Xuan cultivates, a divine skill he obtained from a temple when he was lost in the desert years ago.

Furthermore, he combined his knowledge and skills to develop his own "Blazing Sun Technique"!

This punch carried no magnetic force whatsoever. Yet, it still possessed Bi Xuan's arrogance and a sense of declaration!

"Ha! You old man, your punches are quite powerful. Well then, take one of my moves!"

Kou Zhong laughed loudly. Locked in by Bi Xuan's fist, he felt as if he were trapped in a dry desert, as if he were in the middle of summer during the beginning of winter!

"Tianwu Giant Shark Fist!!"

Although there was no magnetic field force, Kou Zhong's punch was still full of power!

The aura of a giant shark rose from the fist he unleashed, but it was merely a rudimentary application of internal energy. Yet, the Heavenly Martial Giant Shark Fist that Kou Zhong unleashed was even more powerful than when he first received Bai Wujie's spiritual infusion!

Yes, Kou Zhong is someone with very little martial arts skill.

He hasn't had much schooling; even if you put the secret manual in front of him, he probably wouldn't recognize what's written on it.

But who says you can't acquire any martial arts skills without knowledge?

For Kou Zhong, the essence of the Heavenly Martial Killing Path allowed him to possess extremely strong martial arts skills even though he was illiterate!

Because killing requires no knowledge! Because to kill, all you need to do is grasp the simplest intention!

The giant shark, rising and dancing wildly in the air, suddenly leaped up and opened its blood-red maw to devour Bi Xuan!

Bi Xuan was equally unyielding. As his boxing skills continued to advance, the heat would continue to rise, attempting to evaporate the "ocean" around Kou Zhong.

However, at this moment, Bi Xuan had no choice but to put aside his contempt for Kou Zhong... Even disregarding the mysterious magnetic field power, this young man's martial arts skills should not be underestimated!

But he is Martial Venerable Bi Xuan! His strength is not so simple!

Bi Xuan suddenly pulled his fist back into a claw, instantly completely withdrawing his Fiery Yang True Qi. The surrounding air was suddenly sucked away, and at the same time, a powerful airflow formed around Bi Xuan!

In this ethereal and empty "sea," the undulating giant shark was like encountering a huge whirlpool, uncontrollably heading towards the center. At the same time, Kou Zhong was also forced to reveal his true form, being swept away from Bi Xuan.

Bi Xuan remained unfazed, and the Fiery Sun Technique in his hand had already gathered into a powerful punch!

This is the wonder of his blazing sun technique; the sudden increase in temperature is only the surface...

The most terrifying thing is that when launching and receiving attacks, the atmosphere is drawn in and the airflow is simulated to create the desired effect!

Of course, this also requires the user to have extremely strong martial arts skills.

Bi Xuan was undoubtedly a prodigy and master with such powerful martial arts skills!

The moment Kou Zhong made his mistake, he realized that he had been defeated in this martial arts exchange.

But so what? Did he fail? No, not yet! He only lost the "fun"!

So what if he lost in martial arts? The power he possesses is something that someone like Bi Xuan cannot comprehend!

"Forty Thousand Horsepower Power - Giant Shark Leg!!"

Without hesitation, Kou Zhong broke free from Bi Xuan's airflow restraints and, with a slight change in expression, kicked him between the eyebrows!

In his view, this kick, which was full of magnetic field power, was enough to kill this weak "Martial Venerable"!

But... just as that kick was about to land, Bi Xuan also swung out his arm without hesitation and blocked the attack.

This outstretched arm possesses a magnetic field power that is in no way weaker than, and perhaps even stronger than, Kou Zhong's!

"Is this level unacceptable? Kid, you may be powerful, but your heart is nothing more than that of a child."

"You've only learned how to kill, but you don't know the taste of loss. Your so-called strength is just a fragile illusion!"

Bi Xuan spoke in a low voice, while simultaneously stabbing Kou Zhong in the heart with his left hand in a claw-like motion!

"Forty-five thousand bolts of power - Blazing Sun Break!!"

43. A despicable victory

Bi Xuan had mastered the power of magnetic fields, something Kou Zhong had naturally anticipated.

If Ning Daoqi, who is also a grandmaster, has mastered a considerable magnetic field power, why can't Bi Xuan have it?

Master once said that magnetic field power is not a martial arts secret. Once used, it will spread. There is no possibility that it is unique to me.

However, Bi Xuan's assessment of Kou Zhong was not entirely wrong.

Although Kou Zhong possesses immense power, his heart is perhaps like that of a child.

Who can say that the Blood Shark King, who slaughters the world, is emotionally fragile?

Of course, Xu Ziling could say that, and he said it to Kou Zhong more than once.

Kou Zhong's inner strength comes from the Heavenly Martial Killing Path, and even more so from his powerful and invincible state of mind.

However, his unbridled and smooth-sailing career since his debut has shielded his true self from the harsh realities of life.

When his invincibility is broken, and he is defeated by an opponent he doesn't even recognize, his invincible state of mind vanishes, leaving only his inner self, the id hidden beneath madness, to face everything.

Was Kou Zhong cowardly?
