Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 346

Chapter 346: The Lazy Bum Travels the World (1)

“Blocked!”

With Nokgi’s shout, Blood Shadow, who had been silent, rushed out. A red shadow spread and blocked Wei Yanho’s attack.

“Hmm!”

Blood Shadow unfurled his long robe and brandished it.

*Whoosh!*

With a sound like tearing silk, Wei Yanho’s attack was split in two and pushed to the sides.

“Brat…”

Then Blood Shadow had to see.

Wei Yanho appearing between the divided attacks.

*Bang!*

Wei Yanho’s sword cut through the air with a tearing sound.

The target was Blood Shadow’s neck.

Blood Shadow leaned back in horror.

*Slash.*

But he couldn’t dodge it completely, and his neck was cut.

“Uh…”

Blood Shadow stepped back and touched his neck:

‘If it had been a little deeper, I would have died.’

Blood Shadow glared at Wei Yanho with fury. It wasn’t Wei Yanho’s strength that surprised him.

‘This guy is used to fighting.’

His mission was to protect Nokgi and assassinate the important figures of the imperial palace. Assassinating is difficult, but escaping afterward is even more difficult.

Blood Shadow had completed many missions. And he had been close to death many times. This young man had the experience that Blood Shadow had achieved with so much effort.

“What kind of life have you led?”

Wei Yanho simply moved the tip of his sword.

It meant that they would fight with swords.

It was an insolent action, but Blood Shadow had to admit that Wei Yanho had the right.

“We don’t have time to waste.”

Nokgi’s cold voice reached Blood Shadow’s ears:

“If you don’t kill him, the mission will fail. If you survive, you will only have one path.”

Blood Shadow trembled at Nokgi’s words.

He didn’t want to face what Nokgi had said, even if he died there.

‘He’ was very cruel.

If their plan failed due to his incompetence, they would suffer eternal torment.

‘Help?’

Blood Shadow looked around him.

“Do I look weak to you? I am the ‘Sword of the Righteous Hero’! If it weren’t for my son, I would be famous in the world! Damn it!”

Wei Jeonghan, who had lost his previous image, brandished his sword like a thug.

Although Wei Yanho was the center of attention, Wei Jeonghan also had impressive skills.

His skills, which even the leaders of the great clans couldn’t belittle, shone when finding a suitable opponent.

“Feel the edge of the sword from Mount Hua.”

Gong Mujin also showed his skill. His movements were like flowers of death.

Those who were hit by his petals bled.

I Seolhwa was fighting alongside her master. Her movements were clumsy compared to Gong Mujin’s, but they were much better than before.

‘She has improved a lot.’

Gong Mujin smiled.

He had lost a lot by being with Wei Yanho, but he had gained something: the growth of his disciple.

Thanks to that experience, the motivation of being close to more powerful warriors, and having seen many battles… I Seolhwa had become much stronger.

Perhaps there was never anyone who had become so strong in such a short time in the history of Mount Hua. But…

*Rumble!*

A man who could summon lightning with his sword was defeating the men dressed in black.

“Tsk…”

Gong Mujin licked his lips:

‘Even with Wei Yanho, it’s difficult.’

Although Wei Yanho was more eye-catching, Wei Sanho was not far behind. Wei Yanho might be stronger now, but Wei Sanho is following the right path. Considering that Wei Yanho will become lazy, Wei Sanho might be the most powerful warrior of the future.

“Damn it! I almost got hit! Can’t you do it right?”

“…Fall back.”

“You said we should do something good. Something good!”

It didn’t matter what happened to that beggar.

“Amida Buddha!”

Musan recited the name of Buddha and threw a punch. A golden image of an Arhat came out of his fist and hit the men dressed in black.

“…Is he really a disciple of Shaolin?”

Wei Jeonghan rubbed his eyes.

Of course, he was using the martial arts of Shaolin, and he was wearing the clothes of Shaolin, but… the murderous intent was unsettling.

It seemed that he would get a nickname like “Hellish Blood” or “Asura Killer.” Even the Peng Family seemed calm next to him.

‘What a strange group.’

Wei Jeonghan laughed bitterly.

What curse was on his son that he was surrounded by such strange people?

They were all unique and powerful.

Even Wei Jeonghan doubted that he could defeat one of them.

‘Well, he could easily defeat that beggar.’

And the followers of the Righteous Heavenly Alliance.

But the fact that so many experts were with Wei Yanho was amazing.

‘He has good luck.’

Wei Jeonghan clicked his tongue and looked at Wei Yanho.

Thanks to the experts who were with Wei Yanho, they were able to protect the emperor easily. He didn’t know if it was intentional or not.

Although the imperial guards were powerful, they were not all there, and they could stop them.

So, the key was…

“…I don’t think they are going to lose.”

They could trust their skills, even if they couldn’t trust people.

‘It’s difficult.’

Blood Shadow gave up on help. The situation was not good. He had to help.

“Quick.”

Blood Shadow’s eyes flashed.

If they wasted more time, Wei Yanho’s followers might join him. If that happened, they would fail.

“One hit.”

Nokgi and the guards nodded.

They knew that there was nothing good in prolonging the fight.

They concentrated all their inner energy. Their clothes swelled, and their faces turned red.

“Hmm…”

Wei Yanho’s sword slowly lowered when he noticed what they were doing.

Low stance.

Normally, he would aim for the opponent’s knees, but Wei Yanho’s low stance was different. Wei Yanho rested the tip of his sword on the ground, relaxed, and looked at the others.

He seemed dazed.

He looked like a farmer resting leaning on his plow. He didn’t seem to have the sharpness of a warrior.

But…

‘What?’

Blood Shadow began to sweat.

Pressure?

There wasn’t any. But there was no place to attack.

That careless posture… no, because of that careless posture, they didn’t know how to react. Not knowing how the opponent would react was a great burden for them.

“Kuh.”

Unfortunately, time was not on their side.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Blood Shadow’s robe emitted a power like fire. At the same time, Nokgi’s needles filled the air. The white needles, shaped like hands, were like snow.

“Die!”

At the same time, the emperor’s guards attacked Wei Yanho.

Fire and needles.

Five swords.

Although the deadly attacks were approaching, Wei Yanho did not move.

‘That?’

Wei Jeonghan’s eyes snapped open.

He saw something.

Wei Yanho was slowly closing his eyes.

‘That crazy guy!’

This was the situation.

Five guards, who were clearly stronger than Wei Jeonghan, were attacking, and the power of fire and needles filled the air, but he was closing his eyes?

“Brat!”

When the concern as a father and the anger as a warrior were about to erupt, Wei Yanho’s sword began to move slowly.

A slow movement.

Too slow to block the fast attacks… a slow movement.

His sword cut through the air slowly.

‘Is it really slow?’

Wei Jeonghan felt a strange sensation.

The sword was slow, but fast.

Soft, but strong.

A paradox.

It was a paradoxical sword.

Wei Yanho’s sword drew straight and irregular lines in the air.

His movement seemed powerless against the attacks.

When Wei Yanho’s sword cut through the air!

A dazzling light filled the world.

Wei Yanho, Blood Shadow, the guards, and Nokgi.

The emperor, Wei Jeonghan, and even those who were trembling in a corner of the throne room were covered by the white light.

After the light disappeared, only emptiness and silence remained.

Then…

Nokgi asked with dazed eyes:

“What did you do…”

Wei Yanho scratched his head upon hearing Nokgi’s question:

“I failed.”

“You failed?”

“Yes. Hmm… I saw something and tried to imitate it, but it didn’t work. It shouldn’t have been so big… ugh.”

Wei Yanho shook his head:

“It’s too difficult. I don’t think I’ll ever achieve it. I should give up.”

“…You failed?”

Nokgi laughed with frustration:

Failed? Failed?

“Hahahaha!”

Nokgi’s laughter echoed through the throne room:

“You failed?! Well, if you say so! Hahahaha!”

Wei Yanho said uncomfortably:

“Hmm, sorry.”

“Even so, I, Nokgi, have died by a failed sword! Hahahaha!”

Nokgi raised his head and laughed.

When Nokgi stopped laughing…

“Huk…”

Wei Jeonghan swallowed involuntarily.

Lines.

Lines appeared on Nokgi’s face and body. Thin and insignificant lines.

“It’s a shame to die without seeing the complete sword.”

“Hmm, I think it will be difficult to complete…”

Blood began to flow from Nokgi’s mouth.

“You are so… terrifying… Master… please, the great… cause…”

Nokgi’s body disintegrated.

It was a regrettable end for a hero who had tried to shake an era.
