Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: The Lazy One Explodes (2)

It was like the sun. The blinding light surprised the members of the Demon Cult, leaving them momentarily blind.

‘What is this?’ Many swords emit light. Basic sword techniques emit a bit of a glow, and more powerful sword techniques emit enough light to illuminate the darkness. But they had never seen a sword that emitted such an intense glow.

But the light wasn’t the important thing.

*Kwaaaaaaaaaang!*

Before their blurry eyes could process what was happening, the glow from Wei Yanho’s sword flew towards them, causing a huge explosion.

“…….”

Huimun-gyeong looked at Wei Yanho in horror as he watched his companions, who had been by his side, fly apart in pieces.

“Tsk.”

Wei Yanho was approaching, rotating his shoulders.

“Why bother someone who’s standing still?”

They hadn’t. They had only followed orders.

He was sweating. Who was this guy? They had never seen anyone like this among the members of the righteous clans. They had already assessed the experts here, and people were assigned to face them.

Why did this guy suddenly appear?

‘No one here can defeat us with a single blow.’ But this guy had done it.

Huimun-gyeong looked at Wei Yanho in horror. They had gone through brutal training. They felt that the weaklings of the Central Plains couldn’t defeat them. Especially the veterans, but the young ones couldn’t beat them.

But…

“Who are you?”

“I am Wei Yanho.”

“Wei Yanho?”

“Yes.”

Huimun-gyeong’s eyes flashed.

“Are you Wei Yanho, the hero who defeated the Dark King?”

“I don’t know if I’m a hero, but I did teach that old man a lesson.”

Huimun-gyeong’s face paled.

‘It wasn’t an exaggeration.’ They had thought the story of a young man defeating the Dark King was an exaggeration or misinformation, but it wasn’t. With the skill he had just shown, even the Dark King’s grandfather couldn’t beat him.

‘What do I do.’

Huimun-gyeong looked at his fallen comrades. Three of them couldn’t beat him, how could he do it alone?

“Eh? Are you stopping?”

Wei Yanho tilted his head.

“You guys can’t be trusted. You said that the members of the Demon Cult who you faced didn’t run, even if they lost limbs, but you aren’t demons.”

*Movement*.

Suddenly, Huimun-gyeong’s veins bulged.

“Go away, go away. I won’t catch you. Go away.”

“Who said I was going to run?”

“Your stance says it all. Our master chases us and beats us if we do, but I’m more tolerant and don’t beat those who have lost their spirit. Go away. You’ll be punished if you bother the weak.”

“T… this…”

Huimun-gyeong was furious. In the Demon Cult, the worst offenses are being a coward and being weak. This guy was doing both. If he ran away after hearing that, he didn’t deserve to return to the heavens.

“You…”

“Yes, yes. You’re all the same. It hurts when you get hit, and you cry when you get cut. Why don’t you retreat even if you lose limbs? The elders exaggerate a lot. Don’t worry, I don’t need it.”

Wei Yanho frowned as he saw Huimun-gyeong attack him furiously.

“Why do so many people get angry when I talk? Why are you so irritable?”

Wei Yanho had no idea what he was doing.

***

“……Huu.”

“As expected.”

Wei Jeonghan wiped the blood running down his chin. He had a long wound from his eyebrow to his chin. Fortunately, his eyes were fine, but blood kept seeping from his eyelids, making it difficult to see.

“Wei Jeonghan, Sword of the Righteous Hero… I’m impressed.”

“I appreciate your praise, but I’m not happy to receive it from the Demon Cult.”

“Hahaha, your verbal skills are also excellent.”

‘Shit.’ Although he wasn’t losing heart, the situation wasn’t good. Even with the Sword Saint of the Plum Blossom, they were being defeated.

If it weren’t for Wei Jeonghan’s bravery, they would both be dead.

‘He’s strong.’

Wei Jeonghan looked at Guangmuliang with narrowed eyes. Although he had experienced many battles, he hadn’t seen many as strong as Guangmuliang.

“Can I ask you something?”

“Of course.”

“What position do you hold in the cult?”

“Hmm…”

Guangmuliang looked at Wei Jeonghan uncomfortably and shrugged.

“It depends on how you look at it. In terms of rank, I’m in the top twenty. I’m one of the bishops.”

‘Bishop…’ Considering his young appearance, he had reached the position of bishop very early. That meant Guangmuliang was a promising talent in the Demon Cult. Although his age and rank don’t reflect it.

‘He could become the leader in the future.’ That was reassuring. His skill was…

“In terms of martial skill, I’m not in the top thirty.”

“…What?”

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes trembled.

“That’s impossible! You…”

“Ah…”

Guangmuliang waved his hand to interrupt Wei Jeonghan.

“Don’t compare the past to the present. We have become strong enough to reclaim what we lost. We have surpassed our ancestors.”

Wei Jeonghan’s face contorted.

‘Surpassed?’ That wasn’t easy. It’s difficult for a clan to strengthen. Two things are needed to strengthen.

Excellent martial arts and the talent to master them.

But it’s not possible for martial arts to improve drastically in twenty years, and even if they did, not everyone could master them. Not everyone is talented.

But Guangmuliang was saying that the Demon Cult had achieved it.

“Is it possible?”

“It’s hard to explain. Just remember this. We know we don’t exaggerate.”

“K…”

Wei Jeonghan couldn’t refute. The members of the Demon Cult were straightforward, or simple. They didn’t dislike lying because it was bad, but because it was shameful.

They wouldn’t try to intimidate him with lies. And Guangmuliang had no reason to lie. Anyway, he wasn’t going to let Wei Jeonghan live.

“It was fun, Sword of the Righteous Hero. All the rumors about you are true. But you are also someone who must be eliminated. It’s time to end your legend.”

Guangmuliang approached Wei Jeonghan, clenching and unclenching his fists.

‘This isn’t good.’ Stopping Guangmuliang with Wei Jeonghan, who was tired, and the Sword Saint of the Plum Blossom, who was seriously injured, was almost impossible. If Guangmuliang hadn’t held back, Wei Jeonghan would already be dead.

“Father!”

At that moment, a familiar figure landed behind Wei Jeonghan.

“Sanho?”

“Yes!”

“I left you in charge of your mother and Suryun!”

Wei Sanho nodded.

“The Peng family members are taking care of them.”

“But…”

“We need help. I won’t be a hindrance.”

“That guy!”

Wei Jeonghan was about to get angry, but he sighed.

‘Asking a warrior to run is an offense.’ If he recognized Wei Sanho as a great warrior, he had to respect his will. If he removed the father’s vision, Wei Sanho was a great warrior.

Wei Jeonghan sighed and nodded.

“Be careful.”

“Yes.”

Guangmuliang frowned as he saw Wei Sanho.

“Is he your son?”

“Yes.”

“He has an aura that doesn’t match his age. You are excellent, but your son is even better.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Guangmuliang laughed.

“You only say bad things when you are praised, but you soften when your son is praised.”

“That’s how fathers are.”

“Fathers…”

Guangmuliang looked at Wei Jeonghan and Wei Sanho with interest.

“I have never killed a father and son at the same time… are you sure? The Wei family could become extinct.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Shouldn’t you be sure?”

“I can be sure. Even if we lose, the most troublesome guy will still be alive.”

“The most troublesome guy?”

Wei Jeonghan started laughing.

“He will be very troublesome for you. If you kill the two of us, you won’t be able to sleep in peace. No one is more terrifying than that guy when he’s angry.”

“I don’t understand.”

“You will understand.”

Wei Jeonghan brandished his sword.

“We have talked enough. I wanted to talk more…”

Wei Jeonghan looked around. Seeing his allies being defeated, he couldn’t be optimistic. He had to defeat Guangmuliang and help the others.

“We don’t have time, we must fight.”

“Did I tell you that you are like the rumors say?”

“…Yes.”

“I must retract it. I heard that Wei Jeonghan was quiet, cold, and ruthless… but it seems that he is not.”

“Hahahaha.”

Wei Jeonghan looked at Wei Sanho.

“When you have children, you become a father.”

“What a shame. It would have been more fun to face you when you were angry.”

“Don’t worry. A father who fights to protect his son is strong.”

“I hope so.”

“Let’s go!”

Wei Jeonghan roared and attacked Guangmuliang. Guangmuliang received the attack with a smile.
