**Chapter 259: The Lazy Attacks (4)**

The sword was faster than light.

That wasn’t just a saying. Before Wei Yanho’s sword light could even be recognized, Tang Cheon-gun had to block the sword flying towards him.

*Kwang!*

An explosive sound resonated as hand and sword collided.

‘Impossible!’

What is the most important aspect of the Tang family’s martial arts?

Those unfamiliar with the Tang family would say it’s poison, and those who know them well would say it’s hidden weapons.

No matter how potent the poison, it’s useless if it doesn’t touch the opponent’s body. If poison is the most well-known martial art of the Tang family, hidden weapons are the essence of their martial arts.

But the members of the Tang family think differently.

The most important thing about the Tang family’s martial arts is neither the hidden weapons nor the poison. It’s the manual dexterity that allows them to use both.

They have to touch hidden weapons with poison that can turn even an ox into dust. No matter how much immunity they have, if they get injured frequently, they won’t be able to withstand the accumulated poison and will die.

That’s why the hands of the Tang family members are tougher than anything. They are able to tear steel with their bare hands without even a scratch.

But Tang Cheon-gun couldn’t help but stare at his hands.

He couldn’t feel anything in his hands.

If it at least hurt, he wouldn’t be so confused. He had only blocked one sword, but his hands were numb.

But there was no time to be surprised.

*Paaaaaang!*

The sword cuts through the air.

A simple stab.

But a stab with force and speed is not so simple.

Tang Cheon-gun leaned back desperately. The shadow of the sword cut his hair. Tang Cheon-gun gritted his teeth as he watched the falling hair.

‘He is strong.’

He knew he wasn’t at the level of a future leader. But each strike from Wei Yanho was no less than those of the experts of his generation.

He couldn’t understand how he could display such skill at that age. He still found it hard to believe.

But those thoughts were only in his head, and Wei Yanho’s skill was real.

He couldn’t deny it.

“Kuh!”

With his back arched, his two hands waved. Ox hair needles and copper coins that came out of his sleeves began to fly towards Wei Yanho.

Some were fast, others slow.

A rain of hidden weapons fell on Wei Yanho.

“Hmm?”

Wei Yanho watched the scene with curiosity and then raised his sword.

‘What should I do in this situation?’

His master had taught him how to deal with everything he might encounter. If he rummaged through his mind, he would find the answer…

“It’s not there!”

What a scammer!

Wei Yanho’s sword rose.

If a thousand hidden weapons fall, he would block them with a thousand swords.

Wei Yanho’s sword began to tremble. The sword, which trembled more and more violently, created hundreds, thousands of afterimages, covering his body.

“A curtain of swords?”

“No! It’s a wall of swords!”

‘What?’

Someone was trying to define his sword, but Wei Yanho scoffed.

The stages of the sword that the martial world had divided meant nothing to him. Baek Muhan told him not to get caught up in the stages. The stages of the sword that humans divided meant nothing to Wei Yanho, he should only follow the path that the sword wanted to follow.

‘The path the sword wants to follow is also a rule, master.’

His master told him not to define anything, but he defined everything. Wei Yanho even deviated from the path his master had established. His sword only followed his will.

The sword moved because it wanted to block.

Like a body that moves when the will arrives, Wei Yanho’s sword moved naturally like the tip of his fingers, blocking all incoming weapons.

“T, that!”

Chungyeon was sweating as he watched the hidden weapons bouncing off. The hidden weapons were flying towards him. Although most had lost their power, blocking weapons that could kill someone with just a graze was stressful.

‘If I feel like this…’

It felt like his energy was draining just from blocking a few weapons, how much pressure must Wei Yanho be feeling?

Chungyeon shook his head as he wondered if he could have blocked Tang Cheon-gun’s attack.

‘It’s pointless.’

Even if he could block it, he couldn’t do it so easily. He had to admit it. Wei Yanho was stronger than him.

With this, there was no point in talking about the winner.

“He blocked it!”

“He blocked it! He blocked that!”

“Was that flower rain?”

“Nonsense! It can’t be that.”

“…So, is his attack that powerful? Incredible.”

Both the attacker and the defender were beyond imagination.

Until recently, they had been watching the future leaders fight with all their might. Now they knew why the future leaders were future leaders.

No matter how strong the future leaders are, they cannot match the power of the experts of this generation. And Wei Yanho was fighting against an expert.

“Why aren’t you getting poisoned?! Why?!”

Tang Cheon-gun clenched his fists.

That the hidden weapons he had launched with all his might were useless was surprising. But what was really surprising was that Wei Yanho showed no signs of poisoning.

He had already poisoned him.

Furthermore, even though he had blocked the hidden weapons, the soul smoke should have entered Wei Yanho’s respiratory system.

Even those with some immunity should be coughing up blood, but Wei Yanho showed no signs of poisoning. He only grabbed his stomach from time to time.

“Ouch, it hurts a lot.”

Wei Yanho grabbed his stomach and grimaced.

‘It shouldn’t just be painful…’

The poison he used was Tang Cheon-gun’s signature poison, the Dark King. The type of poison he used represented his power.

Unless he had an antidote in his blood, poisoning was inevitable, and the poison he used was the one he could withstand.

Normally, the one who uses poison in a battle must be prepared to be poisoned as well.

Tang Cheon-gun was the only one in the Tang family who could use soul smoke in battle.

But Wei Yanho showed no signs of poisoning.

“Agh, ugh, ugh!”

Wei Yanho grabbed his throat and vomited. Then he spat on the ground.

Tang Cheon-gun shouted when he saw something dark red coming out of Wei Yanho’s mouth.

“I… immune to all poison?”

“What?”

Wei Yanho responded abruptly, but Tang Cheon-gun couldn’t take his eyes off the dark red liquid.

‘Why is that coming out?’

To someone who didn’t know, it might look like poisoned blood, but Tang Cheon-gun knew what it was.

It was the original poison of the soul smoke. The original liquid in the vial.

How could someone refine the poison they inhaled and spit it out?!

“Agh, how disgusting.”

Wei Yanho hit his stomach. Baek Muhan’s internal energy core was trembling ever since he thought he had been poisoned.

He didn’t know what he was doing, but he was releasing energy and then absorbing it, which was making him dizzy.

At first, he thought his internal energy core was acting up and he was going to die.

Wei Yanho squeezed his stomach as he felt the restlessness.

“Ouch, I feel sick. I feel sick.”

Anger grew as he felt anxiety. Wei Yanho spat on the ground and looked at Tang Cheon-gun. Tang Cheon-gun had a dazed expression.

“Immune to all poison?!”

“I told you that’s not it! My master said there’s no such thing!”

“…No, I’m seeing it with my own eyes.”

“This guy is a charlatan.”

Wei Yanho, who had ignored the opinion of the poison expert, raised his sword.

“I feel sick, so I’m angrier. Clench your teeth, you’re going to lose them.”

“Damn it!”

Tang Cheon-gun shouted and extended his hands.

The poison wasn’t working.

Whether he was immune to all poison or not, he needed to use a legendary poison to defeat him. So, he had to give up using poison.

Then…

“Poison isn’t all we have!”

His hands extended and rays of light began to come out of his sleeves.

As if white threads were coming out.

But that was only for a moment.

The weapons that rose into the sky began to absorb the red smoke and then fell on Wei Yanho.

Everyone watched the scene as if they were hypnotized.

The red weapons falling from the sky were fast and slow, falling directly, trembling, and waving.

Like flower petals falling in the spring breeze.

If someone didn’t know what the red petals falling from the sky meant, they didn’t deserve to be there.

Someone groaned.

“Flower Rain…”

A flower rain was falling. The most famous technique of the Tang family, the one that made them famous, was unfolding.

“Wow!”

Wei Yanho raised his head in the middle of the flower rain.

“How pretty.”

He couldn’t deny its beauty. But he also knew how dangerous it was.

In this situation, he needed his master’s wisdom…

“Master.”

“What?”

“What is strength?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I don’t understand what it is.”

“You’ll know when I hit you!”

“…No, seriously.”

“Huh? It shouldn’t be like this…”

Wei Yanho, who couldn’t think of anything useful, raised his sword.

Anyway, it wasn’t useful.

-You don’t need to know.

“Huh?”

He had given up, but something began to emerge.

Why don’t I need to know?

-Your body will remember the strength. And your body will complete it. You just need to wield your sword. And then people will say.

“I am strong.”

Wei Yanho’s sword began to glow intensely.
