Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 372

**Chapter 372: The Lazy One Comprehends (2)**

A bestial roar echoed through the air.

No, that roar was too powerful and ferocious to be that of a mere beast. It was as if something legendary, enraged, was screaming.

Although perhaps comparing it to a dragon or a qilin would be too sacred. This sound was imbued with ferocity and madness.

Wei Yanho didn’t seem to believe for a second that the Insane Demon would fall with such an attack. Despite the deafening rumble, he didn’t even frown and launched himself towards the vortex of light he had created at a terrifying speed.

**”GRRRAAAAAH!”**

The Insane Demon, unable to contain his fury, screamed with all his might and threw a punch.

A fist stained with darkness by demonic energy created tens, hundreds of illusions that enveloped Wei Yanho’s body. It was as if a gigantic black wave was about to swallow him whole.

**Domination.**

Anyone standing before that would have been crushed without a trace.

But Wei Yanho’s eyes remained cold.

**”Hup.”**

After a brief breath, Wei Yanho lowered his sword, held in his right hand, to his side.

And then, a single cut.

Wei Yanho’s sword traced an infinite trajectory, as if swaying from right to left in the air.

**¡Shuaaaak!**

With a sound similar to fabric being torn, the wave of fists bearing down on him split in two. Between the gap, the Insane Demon’s eyes, burning like lava, met Wei Yanho’s, cold as ice.

**”WEI YANHOOOOO!”**

The Insane Demon roared and bounced towards Wei Yanho like a rubber ball.

**¡Pang! ¡Pang! ¡Paaang!**

Wei Yanho’s sword, enveloped in a white glow, struck the Insane Demon who was launching himself against him. Where body and sword collided, sparks flew and a sharp metallic sound was heard.

Wei Sanho, without realizing it, pressed his lips tightly.

**”Damn it, what kind of body is that?!”**

Everyone knew how sharp Wei Yanho’s sword was. But now, he couldn’t even leave a scratch on the Insane Demon’s body.

Even if his body was reinforced with internal energy, was it possible to reach that level of resistance?

The Insane Demon twisted his elbow to deflect Wei Yanho’s sword and then launched a fist straight into his abdomen.

**Swoosh.**

Wei Yanho’s body shifted smoothly, like a feather. At the same time, the sword, rebounded, traced an arc and fell on the Insane Demon’s shoulder like a dry leaf.

The moment Wei Yanho’s sword touched the Insane Demon’s body, something strange happened: both bodies bounced backward as if they had collided with each other.

The two landed silently and stared at each other.

**”This…”**

The Insane Demon looked at Wei Yanho in disbelief.

**”¡Cough!”**

But he couldn’t maintain that expression for long. A torrent of blood, red as fire, gushed from his mouth.

**”What… what the hell?”**

Jangil’s eyes trembled.

**”Where did he hit him?”**

He had seen it clearly with his own eyes.

If the Insane Demon and Wei Yanho increased their speed, even his eyes would have trouble following them. But this fight wasn’t like that. Thanks to that, Jangil could see everything from beginning to end.

And still, he couldn’t understand where the Insane Demon had been injured.

**”Damn it, the more I see it, the more ridiculous it becomes.”**

As if he understood his feelings, Wei Sanho let out a sigh and spoke in a tired voice.

**”It’s the ‘Ethereal Sword’ and the ‘Rebound Force’.”**

**”What?”**

**”…Realizing that he couldn’t pierce that hardened body, Yanho mixed the ‘Soft Sword’ with the ‘Ethereal Sword’ to strike his insides without damaging the surface. And when the Insane Demon’s body counterattacked with the Rebound Force, Yanho was also injured.”**

**”Injured?”**

Hearing that, Jangil focused his energy on his eyes to examine Wei Yanho.

Sure enough, his face was pale.

**”But at least he hurt him, right?”**

**”Yes.”**

Although the damage he received was several times greater.

Wei Sanho didn’t mention it. There was no need. Knowing it wouldn’t change anything.

The Insane Demon wiped the blood from his face and stared at Wei Yanho with bloodshot eyes.

**”This guy…”**

Not even with all his knowledge could he explain Wei Yanho’s existence.

If it had been a simple ethereal cut, he would never have managed to shake his insides. But Wei Yanho had mixed the subtlety of the ‘Soft Sword’ with the ‘Ethereal Sword’, cunningly bypassing his defenses.

If he had used conventional methods of internal energy, he wouldn’t have been able to penetrate his demonic energy, which filled even his insides. But Wei Yanho had used such a gentle flow of energy that it shattered his insides before the Rebound Force could activate.

Although he himself was injured by the delayed counterattack, he had managed to damage his body.

**”How did he come up with something like that?”**

Most of those who faced his almost indestructible body tried to break it with brute force. And in the end, they ended up kneeling before him.

But Wei Yanho wasn’t obsessed with cutting his body. Instead, he left the outside intact and attacked the inside, which couldn’t be perfected.

That was already impressive.

But how to explain that this young man had mixed the subtleties of the ‘Ethereal Sword’ and the ‘Soft Sword’ in an instant?

The fact that he could combine two styles was astonishing, but his judgment in choosing and mixing them in an instant was even more incredible.

**”The ‘Infinity Sword’…”**

The Insane Demon’s voice sounded almost like a moan.

**”It’s terrifying.”**

A chill ran down his spine.

What Wei Yanho had just shown was impressive, but not enough to scare him. What terrified him was the principle hidden behind that single cut: the mystery of the ‘Infinity Sword’.

What would happen if the ‘Strong Sword’ and the ‘Soft Sword’ coexisted? If the ‘Fast Sword’ and the ‘Destructive Sword’ were combined?

If techniques that were believed to be incompatible could merge…

Would anything be impossible in this world?

Wei Yanho’s ‘Infinity Sword’ was, at this moment, barely a first step. But just glimpsing what might be at the end of that road made his palms sweat.

He now understood why the ‘Infinity Sword’ was feared in the world, and why no one dared to face it.

**”The reputation of the ‘Great Family of the Infinity Sword’ is not in vain.”**

If the legends about them were true, didn’t that mean that their lineage was full of swordsmen like Wei Yanho? With that power, not even the current Demon Cult would dare to face them.

The title of “the best family of all time” was no exaggeration.

**”Maybe…”**

The Insane Demon quickly shook off the thought that arose in his mind.

That couldn’t be possible.

*His* martial arts were invincible. No other technique could compare.

But…

**”He’s a threat, that’s for sure.”**

The Insane Demon gritted his teeth.

If Wei Yanho’s sword was perfected, it would be a threat to the other bishops of the cult, though not to *Him*.

But before that…

**”The Infinity Sword?”**

He needed to confirm it.

Why was Wei Yanho using it?

Wei Yanho slowly shook his head.

**”No.”**

His voice sounded slightly bitter.

**”It’s not the Infinity Sword. This is my sword.”**

**”It’s not the Infinity Sword?”**

Wei Yanho nodded. But with that brief answer and his expression, the Insane Demon understood almost everything.

*’It’s the Infinity Sword, but something different. Something was lost… or maybe it was transformed.’*

It seemed that Wei Yanho had inherited it, but not completely.

*’What if he could recover it?’*

Although the Insane Demon despised any impurity in the great martial arts of the cult, he couldn’t deny the value of Wei Yanho’s techniques. Although still immature, if perfected, they would have nothing to envy from those of the Demon Cult.

**”I have one more reason.”**

*Grind.*

The Insane Demon clenched his fist slowly.

**”Wei Yanho.”**

He looked at him with bloodshot eyes.

**”You are strong. I admit it. This Insane Demon recognizes it. You are strong. With your current level, few could face you.”**

It was an unexpected flattery, coming from someone so arrogant and violent who had earned the title of “Insane”. Not even the Supreme Sovereign had received such recognition.

**”If I see an immature talent, it is my duty as a veteran to guide him.”**

**”A demon pretending to be a veteran?”**

**”It doesn’t matter if I’m a veteran or not. The important thing is that I have something to teach you.”**

**”Teach me?”**

**”Your weakness.”**

Wei Yanho’s eyes darkened.

**”Boy, you are strong. Yes, stronger than anyone. At your age, you were ten times stronger than I was. But still, you have a fatal weakness.”**

Wei Yanho looked at him with a tense face.

Unlike his usual calm, he was now furious. Not because they underestimated him. If the Insane Demon had insulted him for hours, Wei Yanho would have laughed. But this was different.

Underestimating his martial arts was underestimating Baek Muhan. If the Insane Demon had discovered a weakness that even Baek Muhan, who trained him for five years, hadn’t noticed, it was an insult towards him.

**”I will close that mouth by force.”**

**”Don’t get upset.”**

The Insane Demon slowly stretched his fist backward.

**”I will make you feel it with your body.”**

The wind blew.

Everything around him seemed to be absorbed into the Insane Demon’s fist.

The breeze turned into a gale, and then into a storm. Energy and wind exploded towards him.

**”Hup!”**

With a short cry, the Insane Demon launched his fist forward.

**”Insane Demon Manifestation!”**

The demonic energy in his right fist expanded violently. In an instant, it grew to the size of a small mountain and pounced on Wei Yanho.

**’Demonic Face’?”**

Wei Yanho’s face filled with confusion for an instant.

Above the giant mass of demonic energy, a spectral face appeared, as if an evil spirit was screaming.

The first thing that disconcerted him was the shape of the energy. No one could avoid being surprised to see an energy fist in the shape of a screaming demon.

But soon, surprise turned into horror.

Wei Yanho felt the overwhelming energy in that fist and, without realizing it, stepped back.

Not even the Supreme Sovereign had reached this level.

No, the fist that the Supreme Sovereign had launched at him couldn’t be compared. This attack contained such destructive energy that it seemed capable of evaporating Wei Yanho and everything around him.

**”YANHOOOO!”**

Wei Sanho, feeling the power of the fist, screamed with bloodshot eyes.
