Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 369

Chapter 369: The Loafer Clashes (4)

“Agh!”

Wei Yanho, emerging from the powerful wave of energy created by water and earth, lunged at Insane Demon.

“Kuh!”

Even Insane Demon, a veteran of hundreds of battles, couldn’t help but be surprised.

Wei Yanho’s sword cut through the air and fell at an incredible speed towards Insane Demon’s head. Insane Demon’s dark energy blocked the attack.

Kuaaaaaaaaaang!

The energy of the fist and the energy of the sword collided, causing an explosion.

Wei Yanho’s expression twisted slightly.

Although he had used all his strength, Insane Demon’s hand, wrapped in dark energy, blocked the attack without suffering any damage. It was the first time his attack had been blocked so easily since he had entered the martial world.

But Wei Yanho was not surprised or discouraged.

He had experienced that hundreds of times a day. There were days when he felt despair just by attacking, this was nothing!

Wei Yanho’s sword quickly retreated and attacked again.

Kaang! Kaang! Kaang!

The continuous attacks were still blocked by Insane Demon’s defense. But they weren’t useless attacks. Insane Demon was busy defending.

“M… brat!”

Insane Demon’s expression twisted.

“Hehe!”

Wei Yanho attacked even harder.

He had no chance in a brute force confrontation. Although his internal energy was exceptional, Insane Demon’s was abnormal.

Even when he fought against the Supreme Sovereign, he was surprised by his immense internal energy, but this was different. While the Supreme Sovereign’s internal energy was an overwhelming pressure, Insane Demon’s was like a seething flame.

If he received that punch head-on, even Wei Yanho couldn’t withstand it. He could withstand one or two blows, but more than that, he would be crushed.

So, the best strategy was not to give him time to use his punch.

“Damn brat!”

Fortunately, Insane Demon had an explosive temper.

If he responded calmly, he could defeat Wei Yanho, but his own excitement prevented him from doing so.

‘They say that the temper of demonic martial arts users consumes half of their strength.’

That was true. Demonic martial arts, which focused on speed, rapidly increased the user’s strength, but destroyed their personality.

Insane Demon was like that.

Like a clumsy bear.

He had incredible strength, but his temper prevented him from using it properly.

‘Then…’

Wei Yanho calculated quickly.

His master had always emphasized it.

Keep a cool head.

No matter how angry or dangerous it was, he had to keep a cool head. If he let himself be carried away by emotions, he would suffer.

Wei Yanho took those words as a principle.

His master was strange, but his words were always correct. Sometimes they were radical, sometimes absurd, but they had never been incorrect.

So…

But Wei Yanho didn’t know.

That Baek Muhan had never faced true demons. The demons of his time were disorganized, and Baek Muhan was not interested in demonic martial arts.

If Baek Muhan had understood demons, he would have given different advice.

That small difference began to change the situation.

“Aaaaaah!”

A scream like that of a beast.

Blood splattered from the mouth of Insane Demon, whose eyes were red. The veins on his neck and forehead showed his excitement.

Wei Yanho calmly attacked Insane Demon’s neck.

If he kept calm…

At that moment.

Insane Demon ignored Wei Yanho’s sword and threw a punch.

Wei Yanho’s face darkened instantly.

If he continued like this, the sword would pierce Insane Demon’s neck, but Wei Yanho would also become a mess. And Wei Yanho was more likely to die from the punch than Insane Demon from the sword.

Wei Yanho gritted his teeth, withdrew his sword, and struck Insane Demon’s punch.

He blocked it.

He deflected the punch with his sword. A perfect defense.

But that didn’t mean he didn’t suffer any damage. Despite his best effort, he felt immense pressure when his sword and the punch collided.

He felt as if his bones were breaking and his organs were churning. It was as if a giant was grabbing him and squeezing him.

“Khek!”

Although he had blocked the attack perfectly, something inside him broke, and he spat out blood.

Wei Yanho retreated to recover.

But Insane Demon didn’t miss the opportunity.

A bestial roar came from Insane Demon’s throat. Releasing dark energy, Insane Demon lunged at Wei Yanho at incredible speed.

Wei Yanho was surprised for a moment.

Kuaang!

Although he blocked the punch, he couldn’t dissipate all the energy. Like a projectile, Wei Yanho’s body was thrown backwards.

Kung! Kung! Kung!

Insane Demon lunged at Wei Yanho.

With each step, the ground sank and broke. Insane Demon quickly caught up with Wei Yanho.

“E!”

Wei Yanho spat out blood like a waterfall and raised his sword. Adhering to the ground, his white sword shone.

He needed calm.

Suppressing his anger and hatred, Wei Yanho attacked with cold eyes.

He had experienced this kind of crisis hundreds of times a day. There was no reason to be angry.

If one attack didn’t work, two attacks, if two attacks didn’t work, three attacks.

If he kept wielding his sword, he would eventually succeed.

The world darkened.

He lost his sight.

Everything became blurry, and he only saw Insane Demon approaching.

One attack, another attack.

Stacking attacks. A wall of swords that even the most powerful opponent could not overcome.

A blinding white light covered Wei Yanho. From Insane Demon’s perspective, Wei Yanho had disappeared, and there was a wall of white light.

“Insolent!”

But Insane Demon didn’t stop.

Wuuuuuuuuung!

A buzzing like thousands of bees resonated in his body. The trembling dark energy concentrated on Insane Demon’s fist. There was so much dark energy that it looked like a black cloud.

Insane Demon’s waist twisted backwards. As if stretching a rubber band, his waist twisted to the maximum and then returned, creating a recoil. Using that recoil, Insane Demon launched a powerful punch.

Kuaaaaaaaaa!

It was like a waterfall.

Not from top to bottom, but forward.

The punch advanced like a wave. Like a dry river creating a turbulent current, the dark energy swirled and headed towards Wei Yanho’s wall of swords.

Immense force.

There was no other way to describe it.

The wave of dark energy was heading towards Wei Yanho’s wall of swords, as if it were going to break the dam. Those who were watching were stunned by the shock that transcended the normal.

It was something more than martial arts.

They knew that martial arts, upon reaching a certain level, transcended the simple wielding of swords and fists, but this was nature itself.

A human creating a turbulent current, changing the terrain, and creating a wall of light.

How could this be a human fight?

But there was no time to be stunned. What was happening was their reality.

And in the middle of that reality, Wei Yanho’s wall of swords and Insane Demon’s punch collided.

A deafening roar.

The impact of the clash made the trees fly into the air, and the road rose and sank as if it were mud.

“Aaaaaah!”

Jangil grabbed Jin Yeran.

The impact was throwing them around like a whirlwind. He tried to resist, but he couldn’t. He only tried to avoid the rocks and trees that were flying around.

Jangil, who had used all his internal energy to protect Jin Yeran, fell to the ground.

“Kuaaaak!”

Jangil, who bounced several times, was dragged across the ground. He got up with difficulty.

Jin Yeran, who had been thrown into the air, was falling.

“Ay!”

With no time to recover, Jangil ran and threw himself where Jin Yeran would fall.

Kung!

“Kuh!”

He felt terrible pain in his back. Tears came out.

‘Even if it’s useless…’

A man’s back is his life, what is he supposed to do with that impact?

Jangil, who would normally complain, knew when to speak and when to act. Now was the time to act.

The large trees and rocks that had been thrown into the air were falling.

“Agh! Damn it! What is this?!”

How could this happen in a human fight? Not even a typhoon or an earthquake could cause this.

Jangil, who had saved Jin Yeran, collapsed from exhaustion.

“Are you… okay?”

Jangil nodded slowly upon hearing the voice of Jin Yeran, who seemed stunned. But he wasn’t listening. He was staring at the destroyed landscape.

‘Is this an absolute clash?’

A mythical scene was unfolding before his eyes.
