Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 48

Chapter 48

With a frighteningly penetrating sound, something flew between the man in green and Peng Daoji. The man in green felt the impulse driving him and retreated with all his might.

Kwang!

Everything he had flown between the man dressed in green and Peng Daoji crashed into the ground.

“What is it?”

‘What’s that?’

The man dressed in green and Peng Daoji looked at him simultaneously.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

They were both momentarily speechless.

What had separated them was a large box, properly packed and well bound with a rope.

‘This is it, then…’

Peng Daoji wondered what the identity of that box might be.

But his reflections didn’t last long.

– So this package flew here with such tremendous momentum?

That’s what I could understand.

Whether it was a package or anything else, it wasn’t hard for something to fly with a tremendous impulse.

But if it flew with such a terrifying impulse that the box crashed into the ground, why was it so perfectly intact?

It should have been shattered or, at least, it should have shown some dents to match the way the world works.

“Is that guy thinking random things again?”

“……”

Peng Daoji stood firm again.

‘What am I thinking right now?’

“You brought all these enemies here, and now you’re going to die without even doing your part for thinking nonsense? Really, a ghost of water, a ghost of water!”

Peng Daoji jumped up and lifted his sword.

“Oh, Uncle Gok, you’ll die if you keep it up.

Kwang!

“Why does that guy behave like that?”

Kwang!

There were noises of things flying, crashing or exploding from all directions.

Peng Daoji was going crazy wanting to see what was going on behind him.

But it wasn’t a situation where I could back down.

“What I can do now is grab at least one more guy and drag him down.”

Fortunately, there were still three men dressed in green in front of him.

It could be two at the most. To be honest, even two would be overwhelming. Had he not been about to fall into the underworld just now facing two?

With three, I could at least do his part.

“ Haaat! ”

The definitive technique of the Peng family, the Sword of the Cutter Door of the Five Tigers, developed in his hands.

An intense and dominant sword that seemed to break heaven and earth threatened men in green. Considering their age, it was a level that naturally awakened admiration.

A level not embarrassing for a descendant of the Peng family!

But the result was a very unfavourable assessment.

“Just bite your sword and die, die!”

The energy impulse of the flying sword broke.

Even at that time, Peng Daoji seriously reflected.

‘What did I do wrong again?’

Now, every time he heard that grumpy voice from behind, his first instinct was to think he’d done something wrong.

Peng Daoji soon realized his mistake.

Seeing the energy of the incoming sword, the men dressed in green did not face Peng Daoji’s sword, but dispersed from left to right to point to their exposed flanks.

This wasn’t a duel.

There was no reason to face the powerful energy of his sword.

Especially if they outnumbered it, it was too natural a tactic.

“ Huh! ”

Peng Daoji swallowed air and withdrew his sword.

But it was too late.

A sword was already approaching its flank, about to reach it.

‘I’m dying…’

Kwang!

At that moment, the man dressed in green who was about to thrust a sword into his flank was hit by a box that flew from behind and went around.

The box opened suddenly and the ginseng it contained spread in all directions.

“Ah, that seemed expensive… I threw it wrong.”

Then a nervous voice pierced Peng Daoji’s ears.

At that time, the cry of Gok Bi-hang was heard.

“Instead of doing that up there, come down and help us!”

‘I agree!’

Peng Daoji was very grateful to Gok Bi-hang for saying what he himself could not say.

But the answer he received was enough to confuse him.

“Huh? But I’m a burden.”

‘What kind of nonsense is that crazy bastard saying?’

However, Gok Bi-hang’s response confused him even more.

“B-well, that’s true, but now is not the time to be so particular about those things!”

‘What does it mean, ‘that’s true?

It became more incomprehensible as it progressed.

“Before coming, that evil girl from the Moon Family said that if something happened, she should not cause trouble or get out of the car. Otherwise, she would harm the Great Hanrin Academy, and if she finds out that I caused trouble carelessly, she will chase me to the end of the world to torment me.”

‘What kind of conversation is that?’

Peng Daoji wanted to cry.

“I-I will take responsibility, so please help us.”

“That’s a little hard. I usually keep my promises.”

“Isn’t it because you’re lazy?”

“……”

At this point, Peng Daoji seriously considered whether it would not be better simply to cover his ears.

Then Gok Bi-hang launched his winning move.

“Don’t you need to get to Seongsu people quickly?”

I’m someone who doesn’t have anything urgent.

“S-if we die, won’t your trip also be an inconvenience?”

“It’s not particularly convenient at the moment either.”

How uncomfortable it must be to be up there on the wagon! If we get this thing right, let’s rest in an inn a couple of days as soon as we get to a town!”

“Two days?”

“You can eat as much food as you want and according to your taste!”

“Food too?”

Yes, so please help us, you fucking donkey!

In the end, something strange seemed to have escaped, but Wei Yan-ho didn’t care about those things.

“You promised!”

“That’s right!”

Peng Daoji was completely confused by the incomprehensible conversation between the two.

What kind of situation was this supposed to be?

And something even more confusing happened.

Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang, Kwang!

Exactly seven explosive sounds were heard.

At the same time, the faces of men dressed in green in front of Peng Daoji began to pale like death.

‘What happened?’

Peng Daoji unconsciously turned his head back.

That was Peng Daoji’s mistake.

“ Eek! ”

The man dressed in green who went to the front pointed his sword at Peng Daoji, who had turned his head.

‘Oh, no!’

Peng Daoji squeezed his teeth, cursing himself for making another mistake after having already made so many.

Kwang!

At that moment, with an explosive sound, the man dressed in green flew out.

Peng Daoji turned his head to look at the man next to him.

Was he about the same age as him?

No, he even seemed a little younger.

‘That person crushed eight elite members of the Green Forest in the time it takes to exhale once?’

Peng Daoji looked at Wei Yan-ho with reverence. “Where did this young man come from?”

But on the contrary, Wei Yan-ho did not seem to like Peng Daoji very much.

Wei Yan-ho looked at Peng Daoji with a face of irritation and started screaming.

“Hey!”

“Yes?”

“Let’s have a person-to-person conversation.”

“……”

“You brought those guys here.”

Peng Daoji nodded unconsciously.

“Then, if you have a minimum of consciousness, you should try to be at least a little helpful.”

Peng Daoji’s shoulders shrunk.

“No, okay, I won’t even wait for help. I don’t ask for it. Still, if you’re human, you should have at least a minimum… huh? That kind of… huh? You should have it, right?

Peng Daoji’s shoulders shrunk even further.

“Cause trouble and bring the kids here, but when the time comes to fight, you can’t even make a living. I’d understand if you did your best with your few skills. You almost get stabbed while you think things at random, you almost get stabbed while you look back.”

Peng Daoji wanted to hide in a mouse hole.

Then Wei Yan-ho asked as if he really was curious.

“Why do you do that?”

“……”

“No, seriously, why do you do that?” I ask you because I’m very curious, but why do you do it?

Peng Daoji wanted to cry.

Where would Peng Daoji have received such a deal?

What saddened Peng Daoji even more was not having words to refute. Since they were all his mistakes, he could not even make a sound. If he issued a single sound, he was sure that the human in front of him would exchange the box he had in his hands with his head.

“If you have a brain, use it to think! Look, look. Your sword is an imposing sword, an imposing sword! It’s strong! It’s heavy! But it’s slow! What are you trying to accomplish by wielding a slow and strong sword against several? Are you going to kill two guys and die with them?”

“N-no.”

“Then you should wait for them to take the first step! If not, eliminate one without a doubt!”

“Yes!”

Peng Daoji listened to Wei Yan-ho’s words with the reverent posture of a disciple who receives a teaching.

“Your old technique was like this too! Why do you waste it in the air! Watch carefully!”

Wei Yan-ho snatched Peng Daoji’s sword.

Kuhuhuhuk!

At that time, Peng Daoji was so surprised that he felt his heart coming out of his mouth.

He took my sword out of my hand, so I couldn’t even react. And that means if I wanted to cut my neck, I couldn’t even react?

Peng Daoji felt like fainting.

Watch carefully!”

Wei Yan-ho swinged the sword in the air.

Now Peng Daoji’s eyes were practically leaving their orbits.

The Sword of the Cutter Door of the Five Tigers?! How does this person know the Sword of the Cutter Door of the Five Tigers? Don’t tell me just for seeing my demonstration!

“This one!”

“S-yes.”

“If you’re going to face several people, you have to wield the sword a little faster! May the power of the sword be reduced a little bit, will it change the fact that you die if you are stabbed?”

“No!”

“Depending on the situation, sometimes you slow down and hit fast, and sometimes you need to hit harder and slower. Why don’t you get it?”

“I-I’m sorry.”

While speaking, Peng Daoji was very confused.

‘But why do I apologize to this person?’

“Frustrating, very frustrating, if you’d met the old man, you’d have been beaten up, I’m being nice, so…”

At that time, a man dressed in green who was looking for an opportunity threw his sword at Wei Yan-ho’s neck at a terrifying speed.

“Hey!”

Peng Daoji swallowed air.

‘You have to dodge…’

Kwang!

At that time, with a tremendous explosive sound, the man dressed in green who had rushed with his sword was thrown back even faster than the speed with which he had loaded.

Hit, hit, hit, hit!

It must have been thrown with tremendous force, as the man dressed in green bounced on the ground three times and twisted as he coughed blood.

“Someone is talking here!”

Wei Yan-ho spread the sword to Peng Daoji with a face of irritation.

“Here.”

Peng Daoji took the sword.

“Now do it right!”

Wei Yan-ho left those words, turned around, got in the car and lay down.

Peng Daoji looked at Wei Yan-ho with a very stupefied expression, then turned his head to look at the man dressed in green.

The remaining man dressed in green looked at Peng Daoji with penetrating eyes.

‘When you face multiple opponents, even if you reduce the energy of your sword, be faster and more concise!’

Peng Daoji was also called a prodigy.

He understood the meaning of those words and grasped his sword gently.

“Okay, here I come…”

At last, who was it, no doubt!

“Let’s see!”

At that time, the green man left Peng Daoji and fled at a terrifying speed. Peng Daoji didn’t even think of chasing him and stared at the scene with his eyes lost.

“N-no…”

This wasn’t right.

He needed to restore the honor of the Peng family that had fallen to the ground.

An irritated voice came from the top of the car.

“Frustrating, very frustrating.”

Humidity accumulated in Peng Daoji’s eyes.
