Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 270

Chapter 270: The Lazy Begins (5)

“The Infinity Sword?”

“Did he just say Infinity Sword?”

The atmosphere became tense.

Chung Yeon, in particular, looked very surprised.

‘Baekgeom Fortress is descended from the Great Family of the Infinity Sword?’

Although the names are similar, the family of the Infinity Sword disappeared three hundred years ago.

Their legacy is so great that their name is still remembered, but no one would expect the descendants of a clan extinct for three hundred years to exist.

And not only did they survive, but they became a major force in the martial world.

“The Infinity Sword…”

Chung Yeon groaned.

If it were true, it would be something extraordinary. The family of the Infinity Sword was a legendary clan. At their peak, all sword clans bowed before them.

No swordsman dared to speak of swords in their presence.

The legendary sword had returned.

“The Great Family of the Infinity Sword…”

Baek Geomyeong’s voice was soft, so only those nearby could hear him. But the veterans of the martial world whispered.

The Demon Cult was the largest clan, but the family of the Infinity Sword had the most influence.

Even Shaolin, who had maintained the martial world for a long time, did not have as much influence as the family of the Infinity Sword at their peak.

Baek Geomyeong was saying that he was a descendant of the family of the Infinity Sword, and that Baekgeom Fortress was another name for the family of the Infinity Sword.

“Is it true?”

“How would I know?”

“Silence.”

Chung Yeon said coldly:

“His sword will prove the truth.”

Chung Yeon looked at the stage. If it were true, a storm could hit the martial world.

“The Infinity Sword…”

Wei Sanho slowly raised his sword.

He could not ignore the Great Family of the Infinity Sword. Wei Sanho also knew it.

But what did it matter?

His strength was not determined by his family. No matter what power or background he had, he had to prove his own strength.

He didn’t care if his opponent was from the family of the Infinity Sword, Baekgeom Fortress, or a vagrant. The important thing was that he had an opponent.

Wei Sanho’s sword slowly but clearly drew a stance.

The stance of the Heavenly Dragon Sword, the secret technique of the Wei family, unfolded elegantly.

“Hmm.”

Baek Geomyeong frowned at the sight of that.

Wei Sanho’s sword was not insignificant. Although it was not flashy, it had something that attracted attention. It was sharp.

‘Surprising.’

He thought that only Wei Yanho could face him. Although he could not defeat his brothers now, it was only due to lack of experience, with more time, he could surpass them.

But the existence of Wei Yanho had impacted him, and the existence of Wei Sanho caused him concern.

So, he had to crush him.

Baek Geomyeong’s sword began to move slowly.

The movement was slow and elegant.

The sword, which was low, slowly rose towards the sky, and then began to move faster. Afterimages began to appear behind the sword.

And then, his body was surrounded by afterimages of his white sword.

“Oh!”

“Incredible!”

The audience began to exclaim in amazement.

Baek Geomyeong’s sword exceeded their expectations.

The most surprising thing was not Baek Geomyeong’s level, but his sword.

‘What is that?’

They couldn’t even guess.

Normally, sword techniques have a system and a type.

Fast sword, heavy sword, changing sword, dominant sword, illusory sword, soft sword. The swords are already classified.

Mount Hua specializes in fast and illusory swords. And the Wudang sect specializes in soft and changing swords.

But Baek Geomyeong’s sword could not be classified. If it had to be described, everything was contained in it. It was fast and heavy, changing, strong and soft.

It seemed to contain all types of swords.

All the swords in the world.

“…The Infinity Sword.”

Wei Jeonghan groaned.

He knew it instantly. No more proof was needed. Just by seeing Baek Geomyeong’s sword, they understood.

That was the Infinity Sword.

The Infinity Sword of the Great Family of the Infinity Sword, which had disappeared into legend, had returned.

Wei Jeonghan trembled.

Chills.

Just by seeing it, he knew how powerful and sublime it was.

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes followed Wei Sanho.

A mountain built with swords.

As the shadow of the sword covered the stage, Wei Sanho was standing in the middle of the sword storm.

‘Sanho!’

A silent cry exploded in Wei Jeonghan’s heart.

But Wei Sanho did not flinch.

“It starts with one.”

Wei Sanho murmured.

He was not fooled by appearances. He had to find the true essence among the shadows of the swords. Wei Sanho’s eyes flashed.

Like a single warrior entering an army, Wei Sanho raised his sword and launched himself towards the swords.

“No!”

“That… is!”

Screams were heard.

The spectators could feel the danger.

“Ha!”

“Chwaaaaaat!”

The screams of Baek Geomyeong and Wei Sanho echoed on the stage.

*Kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa!*

A sound like a waterfall falling echoed as the swords fell on the stage.

Even Wei Yanho stood up and looked at the scene. His face was unusually serious. His fists were clenched.

His trembling fists showed how dangerous the situation was.

“What happened?”

“Who won?”

The dust made it difficult to see what was happening. Chung Yeon narrowed his eyes.

When the wind dispersed the dust, the destroyed stage and the two men standing were seen.

Everyone looked at the two with tension. The silence was so absolute that someone could be heard swallowing saliva.

“Do you understand now?”

Baek Geomyeong spoke softly, and Wei Sanho shook his head.

“Even if I have lost, it is I who is weak, not my family’s sword technique.”

“I respect that attitude.”

Who won?

It was difficult to know just by looking.

“Tsk.”

Wei Yanho’s click awakened Chung Yeon. Wei Yanho was clearly annoyed.

‘Then?’

At that moment…

*Thud*.

Wei Sanho knelt down. His clothes became wet. The wounds opened.

“I have lost.”

“Good fight.”

Baek Geomyeong bowed as Wei Sanho bowed.

The result was clear.

Baek Geomyeong looked at Chunggeomja, who raised his hand.

“The winner is Baek Geomyeong from Baekgeom Fortress!”

The crowd began to cheer.

“Uwaaaaaaaaaah!”

“Baek Geomyeong has won!”

People shouted enthusiastically.

Some shouted Baek Geomyeong’s name, others Baekgeom Fortress’s.

“Ha ha ha! I’m glad I didn’t leave!”

“Those who left must be regretting it!”

In the martial world, the winner gets honor and acclaim, and the loser loses everything.

Wei Sanho lowered his head and limped off the stage. Wei Sanho lowered his head when he saw Wei Jeonghan waiting for him.

“Father…”

“Never again.”

Wei Jeonghan’s voice was cold.

Wei Jeonghan looked at Wei Sanho, who raised his head in confusion, and said firmly:

“Don’t bow to me.”

“…Father.”

Wei Jeonghan smiled softly and said:

“Did you do your best?”

“Yes. I don’t regret it.”

“Then it’s okay.”

Wei Jeonghan patted Wei Sanho on the shoulder.

“If you did your best, that’s enough. Defeat and failure strengthen people. I think you will use this experience to become an even better person.”

“Father.”

“Son.”

Wei Jeonghan hugged Wei Sanho.

“Are your wounds deep?”

“I’m fine.”

“Still, you should get treatment.”

“I’m fine.”

“Don’t be stubborn. Come on.”

Wei Sanho sighed as Wei Jeonghan carried him away.

The defeat was painful, but it didn’t hurt as much as seeing Wei Jeonghan’s sincere concern.

He looked at Baek Geomyeong.

‘Next time, definitely.’

The difference was greater than he thought, but he could definitely overcome it. If he trained hard.

Wei Sanho looked at Baek Geomyeong, who was greeting the crowd, and then turned his head.

“Ugh.”

Unlike the celebrating crowd, the audience was silent.

‘Why are they like this?’

‘Are they angry?’

He bet on Baek Geomyeong, why is he angry? We should be angry for losing money.’

Wei Yanho gritted his teeth and sighed.

‘How annoying.’

He knew he couldn’t win.

The difference between Wei Sanho and Baek Geomyeong was enormous. It was not something that could be overcome with luck.

Although he already knew he was going to lose, he was annoyed. He wanted to hit Baek Geomyeong, but Wei Yanho held back.

Hitting Baek Geomyeong would not be difficult, but it was not possible. A brother avenging his brother is a good story, but a brother avenging his older brother shows the older brother’s incompetence.

He had to restrain himself for Wei Sanho’s honor.

“Ugh…”

Wei Yanho turned and began to eat sweets. People sighed at the sight of that.

‘I’m going to die.’

Chung Yeon looked at the sky with tears in his eyes.

But he did not know.

That those who threatened him were arriving at Mount Hua.
