Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 345

## Chapter 345: The Lazy Bum Receives a Reward (5)

The throne hall was completely enveloped in a brilliant white light. Everyone was speechless at the sight of the light emanating from Wei Yanho.

“Oh…”

Even the emperor blinked:

‘What kind of miracle is this?’

There were many martial arts experts in the imperial palace. The skills of the soldiers and guards were different. The martial world feared the imperial army, but the imperial palace feared warriors who could stealthily infiltrate.

Therefore, the emperor’s guards were martial arts experts. Even if they weren’t interested in martial arts, they were familiar with it.

He had seen the skills of the guards countless times, but he had never seen anything like this. How can a person emit such a bright light?

And that light wasn’t just a demonstration of power.

Wei Yanho extended his hand.

A white flash shot towards Nokgi.

“Dodge!”

“Taegam!”

Nokgi’s subordinates lunged towards Wei Yanho’s attack, some covering Nokgi.

*Bang!*

No one in the throne hall could speak.

A single strike.

Just one strike.

The result of the casual attack exceeded all expectations. Those protecting Nokgi died without even screaming, and the light destroyed a wall of the throne hall.

“……”

It seemed like time had stopped.

Those who didn’t know martial arts couldn’t believe it, and those who did were horrified by the power.

Wei Yanho broke the silence:

“Wow…”

Wei Yanho looked at his hand and the destroyed wall, and murmured in disbelief:

“Is my hand more powerful than a sword?”

“……”

“No. It shouldn’t be that powerful… eh…”

Wei Yanho looked at the emperor and asked:

“Did you take all the medicines?”

The emperor nodded:

“Ginseng injections… or ten-thousand-year ginseng?”

“I ate it as a side dish.”

“……Ah, I see.”

Wei Yanho smiled awkwardly.

Of course, he was the noblest person in the world, and he was sick, so he must have eaten everything good.

Since he ate ginseng as if it were radish, his inner energy must be incredible.

‘After eating all that.’

Wei Yanho touched his stomach.

His method of healing the emperor was simple. The emperor had an unobstructed main blood flow, but his smaller blood vessels were blocked.

If it were an obstruction in the main blood flow, he would only need to open it, but the blocked smaller blood vessels were impossible to open even for a god.

Obstructions in the main blood flow are incurable diseases because the body cannot withstand the process, but obstructions in the smaller blood vessels are impossible for a common doctor to treat.

‘But I can.’

But Wei Yanho could do it. Or rather, Baek Muhan’s core in Wei Yanho’s stomach made it possible.

He didn’t know the principle or the reason. He simply touched the emperor’s body and used his inner absorption, and the core absorbed the emperor’s energy, purifying the impure energy and absorbing the pure energy.

Since the emperor wasn’t a warrior, he hadn’t converted the energy into inner energy, and when his smaller blood vessels opened, the energy accumulated in his body caused a complete transformation.

And all that inner energy became Wei Yanho’s.

He thought he would get a little stronger…

“This is too much…”

Wei Yanho touched his stomach in disbelief.

Of course, martial arts don’t improve just with inner energy, but your power changes even if you use the same move.

That’s what happened.

“…What did this brat eat?”

Even Wei Jeonghan, who could guess the situation, made a comment that could be considered disrespectful to the emperor.

“Damn it!”

Jangil sat on the ground:

“What’s wrong?”

Jangil, who was complaining of a stomachache, responded to Wei Sanho’s question:

“I’ve been looking for medicines, but I haven’t been able to find even a ginseng root, but that guy eats everything good, how can he not have a stomachache?”

“Do something. Maybe His Majesty will give you medicines.”

“Hmm?”

When Jangil looked around, the emperor nodded:

“Not just medicines. I will give you a great reward if you do something good.”

“Kuk.”

Jangil stood up:

“If a beggar receives a reward from the emperor, there will be an uproar in the Beggar Sect. The beggar king might even give a dog paw.”

“That’s modest.”

“Modest! Beggar kings are greedy. Getting a dog paw from a beggar king is harder than becoming a heartthrob.”

“Then it won’t happen.”

“This brat?”

Meanwhile, Nokgi didn’t know how to handle the situation:

‘He was stronger?’

He knew Wei Yanho was powerful. A lot of information said so. But Wei Yanho’s strength in the information was very different from his real strength.

Nokgi’s expression hardened:

“Blood Shadow.”

“…”

“Can you kill him?”

“…I can’t assure it.”

“Really?”

Nokgi licked his lips.

Even Blood Shadow couldn’t assure…

Nokgi looked at Wei Yanho and spoke slowly:

“What kind of trick…”

At that moment, Wei Yanho raised his hand:

“Yes, enough is enough.”

“……”

“We’ve talked enough already. If it weren’t to save the emperor, I wouldn’t have talked so much. Let’s do what we have to do. Why use words when you have fists?”

“…”

“Ugh.”

When Wei Yanho waved his hand, a sword on the ground flew towards him. Wei Yanho wielded it a couple of times and frowned:

“That’s why you shouldn’t use just any sword. It’s uncomfortable.”

Wei Yanho, who had licked his lips several times, lowered the sword and looked at Nokgi.

At that moment, Nokgi felt like his body was being cut by swords.

“…Mo… brat.”

He had to admit it.

Even if he was a fool, he became a different person when he held a sword.

Wei Yanho’s atmosphere and gaze made people unable to believe that the kid who had been talking nonsense was the same person.

Nokgi gritted his teeth.

He understood why Wei Yanho was their main target. The world seemed to be covered by Wei Yanho’s sword. He couldn’t escape that sword.

‘How can a person change so much?’

Emotionless eyes.

Even he, who had seen many experts, felt fear.

‘Like him.’

A memory that made his heart shrink emerged from the depths. Nokgi shook his head to get rid of that thought. He couldn’t compare to him.

“…Okay, we don’t need to talk.”

Nokgi assessed the situation calmly:

‘Confucianists…’

It was an unexpected attack. The fact that the attack had come at that moment meant that someone had predicted their reaction.

‘The Great Scholar of the Three Arts.’

He thought he would catch him someday, but not having done so before had caused problems.

If Moon Yuhwan was leading the attack from outside, he must have contacted the censor’s office. The longer it went on, the worse it would be for them. The imperial army and the censor’s office would come.

He had to kill the emperor quickly.

For that…

“Kill him.”

Nokgi gritted his teeth:

“The emperor! And Wei Yanho! Kill him no matter the cost!”

“Yes!”

Those surrounding Nokgi rushed forward. But no one dared to attack Wei Yanho, who had demonstrated his power.

“Are they underestimating us?”

“We must show them, senior, how terrifying the martial world’s sword is.”

“I agree.”

Wei Jeonghan and Gong Mujin fought against the guards.

“Kkkkk.”

Blood Shadow smiled gently upon seeing that. His eyes were only looking at Wei Yanho:

“Although I don’t want to admit it, I can’t do it alone.”

“True.”

A slender, woman-like white hand came out of Nokgi’s sleeve.

*Clang!*

A metallic sound echoed as he clenched his fist.

Nokgi smiled cruelly and slowly approached Wei Yanho:

‘The outcome will be decided here.’

Whether he could kill Wei Yanho or not was the key. If he could defeat Wei Yanho, killing the emperor wouldn’t be difficult.

Blood Shadow, Nokgi, and the emperor’s guards slowly surrounded Wei Yanho.

Wei Yanho’s eyes narrowed:

“Get ready…”

When Nokgi opened his mouth, Wei Yanho’s body stretched.

“Huk!”

One of the guards, who was surrounding Wei Yanho, stepped back upon seeing Wei Yanho in front of him.

Well, he tried to step back.

*Slash!*

But that was just a thought.

Before the order from his brain reached his legs, Wei Yanho’s sword pierced his neck.

His head flew off.

His body staggered back and fell to the ground, vomiting blood.

“……”

A cold silence prevailed.

Dissonance.

The great difference between Wei Yanho, who had been talking nonsense about joining the East Palace, and Wei Yanho, who had beheaded someone without hesitation, tormented everyone.

“Hmm.”

Wei Yanho wiped the blood from his sword and looked at Nokgi.

His lips moved slowly:

“One.”

Nokgi hesitated upon seeing Wei Yanho’s smile.

If Wei Yanho’s current appearance was his true appearance, perhaps they had been manipulated from the beginning.

Perhaps.

As if breaking through his anxiety, a dazzling light came out of Wei Yanho’s sword and headed towards him.
