Chapter 560

**Chapter 560. The Lazy Awakens (5)**

“Aren’t you being too reckless?”

The voice of the Master of Divine Abilities trembled with unease. However, those around him were completely unconcerned, as if nothing mattered.

“He seems more human today, doesn’t he?”
“The fact that he’s using formal language already shows he’s being kinder than usual.”
“In the end, it’s only a matter of time before he draws his sword.”

Jangil clicked his tongue.

“I prefer when that guy loses his temper and becomes desperate. When he acts calmly, it’s chilling. I don’t know where he got that personality.”

“Ahem!”

“…I wasn’t criticizing the Great Hero Wei. I’m just saying, you know. Heh, heh.”

Jangil shrank back as Wei Jeonghan glared at him and said sternly,

“Watch your words.”

The Master of Divine Abilities looked at Wei Jeonghan with disdain.

“You should watch yours too.”
“What have I done wrong?”
“What have you done wrong? Are you really asking?”
“…Sorry.”

Although Wei Jeonghan used to impose his authority on the younger ones, in front of the Master of Divine Abilities, his influence was useless.

“Anyway, are you okay with this?”
“What do you mean?”
“Your son is about to fight two Bishops of the Demon Cult. Are you really not worried?”

Wei Jeonghan’s response was lukewarm.

“Well… I’m sure he’ll be fine.”
“Is that what a father says? That’s why the kid is like that!”
“Then why don’t you intervene, Grand Strategist?”
“Don’t even think about it.”

The Master of Divine Abilities washed his hands of the matter. He would rather cut off an arm than get into trouble with Wei Yanho.

“Fighting Bishops? Two Bishops!”
“If he wants to fight, what can I do?”
“But…”

The Master of Divine Abilities was about to scold Wei Jeonghan but stopped himself. Observing, he noticed that none of Wei Yanho’s group seemed worried or tried to stop him.

What’s more, despite having two Bishops of the Demon Cult in front of them, they didn’t even show fear. It was as if they took it for granted that Wei Yanho would defeat them.

“What’s going on?”

Normally, that attitude came from absolute confidence. But it didn’t seem like this group had such faith in Wei Yanho.

“Has Yanho become that strong? Seriously?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“Do you think he can defeat two Bishops without any problems? Is that why you’re so calm?”
“Well, it’s obvious, isn’t it? That brat is sure to win.”
“How can you be so sure?”

Just as the Master of Divine Abilities was about to be surprised, Wei Jeonghan burst out laughing.

“Ah, but it’s not because we know his strength and think he can beat the Bishops.”
“Huh?”

What kind of answer was that?

Wei Jeonghan continued, as if explaining something obvious.

“You see, both Yanho and the Bishops are at such a high level that we can’t even measure it. We have no way of knowing who is stronger.”
“That… is true.”

The Master of Divine Abilities was stronger than Wei Jeonghan, but even he couldn’t measure the latter’s power. How could these guys know?

Besides, even if they knew how strong Wei Yanho was, they had no way of knowing how strong Death Demon and Poison Demon were, so there was no reason to be so calm.

“Then why are you so relaxed?”
“Because that brat is acting like this.”
“Hmm?”

The Master of Divine Abilities tilted his head in confusion.

Wei Jeonghan sighed and continued.

“You may not know it, but that boy is incredibly cunning.”
“I already know that.”
“If you know it, then it’s easier. Do you see how he’s acting confidently right now?”
“…”

Wei Jeonghan looked at Wei Yanho’s back and let out a mocking laugh.

“Does he look like the kind of person who would take risks for no reason? If he sensed danger, he would have already run away, even abandoning his own father.”
“God…”
“If he’s advancing of his own will, it’s because he’s sure he can handle the situation. Isn’t that right?”
“Obvious.”

Jangil laughed and supported Wei Jeonghan’s words.

“He’s been calculating for a while now. And now he’s decided he can win. That’s why he’s there, challenging them.”
“…”

The Master of Divine Abilities didn’t know how to process that logic.

“He calculated his chances?”
“That guy has a supernatural instinct for that. If he felt like he might get hurt, his expression would change immediately.”
“That’s right.”

Musan nodded vehemently, supporting the words of Jangil and Wei Jeonghan.

“If young Wei is advancing like this, it’s because those Bishops aren’t that strong within their range.”

“But that’s not…”

Poison Demon definitely fit that description. His poison was fearsome, but among the top experts, although it was annoying, it wasn’t invincible. In other words, even if you couldn’t resist his poison, if you were strong enough, you could kill him even if you ended up poisoned.

But Death Demon was different. Death Demon was famous among the Bishops for his cruelty and cunning. He was not inferior to anyone.

And Wei Yanho could face both at the same time and still look confident?

“Does this make any sense?”

Sure, Wei Yanho had always been strong. The first time he saw him, fighting the Supreme Sovereign, he was amazed. Since then, Wei Yanho always exceeded expectations.

But…

“No, in terms of common sense…”
“There’s the mistake.”
“Huh?”

Wei Jeonghan shook his head.

“Common sense doesn’t apply to him. He’s my son, but I’ve stopped expecting him to act normally. How to say it…?”

Jangil concluded for him.

“Wei Yanho is Wei Yanho.”
“Exactly. Wei Yanho is Wei Yanho. It’s easier to accept it that way.”
“…”

The Master of Divine Abilities didn’t understand anything.

“This isn’t something that can be explained with words.”

Then there was only watching left.

In any case, the only thing he could do was observe.

Although his position as a strategist forced him to stay out of it, this was the first time he felt such a strange discomfort witnessing a battle.

“What the hell are you planning to show?”

His gaze was fixed on Wei Yanho’s back.

“That brat…”

Contrary to the typical reaction, Death Demon’s eyes were cold and calculating.

“A sword that emits light… Just like in the rumors.”

Then, the warnings about that sword must be true.

“The Insane Demon isn’t one to talk without reason.”

The fact that that arrogant Insane Demon had mentioned caution was already proof enough of Wei Yanho’s power.

So, what to do?

Death Demon glanced sideways at Poison Demon.

“Do we attack together?”
“Seems like there’s no choice.”
“Are we really going to team up against a brat?”
“It seems you don’t understand the situation.”

Death Demon bared his teeth.

“Look at reality, Poison Demon. That’s not a simple child. There’s no one like that. He’s a threat that must be eliminated here. Perhaps he’s the biggest obstacle to our Cult.”
“Hmm…”
“If it was just killing him, I wouldn’t need your help. But you already know that we must capture him alive. Do you understand what that implies?”

Poison Demon nodded.

“It’s an order from Him.”
“Exactly. It’s that.”
“There’s no choice, then.”

Poison Demon pointed with his chin.

“Attack.”

As soon as he spoke those words, three Demon Disciples who were behind him deployed, surrounding Wei Yanho.

“Oh?”

Wei Yanho looked at the scene and tilted his head.

“They fight too?”

Death Demon laughed mockingly.

“What? Are you going to say it’s cowardly to attack in a group?”
“No, it’s not that.”
“Then?”

Wei Yanho smiled sarcastically.

“When I fought with the old men of the Central Plains, they also attacked me in a group and used poison. If even the Demon Cult, known for being vile and cowardly, expects me to believe in fair combat, that’s really funny.”
“You…! How dare you call the Demon Cult cowardly?”
“Does the old man already have dementia?”

Wei Yanho laughed.

“Or maybe he wants to fight alone and give me a three-second head start? If so, I’ll admit that the True Path of the world is in the Demon Cult. I’ll even tell my future children that the Cult understood the truth. What do you think?”
“Shut up, brat! I’ll tear out that insolent tongue!”
“There you have it. He doesn’t even consider it.”

Wei Yanho spat on the ground.

“In the end, vilely cowardly old men remain vilely cowardly. I’m not surprised. What does surprise me is something else.”

Death Demon was going to ask, but he didn’t have the opportunity.

Before he could speak, Wei Yanho’s hand had already moved.

Swish.

A flash.

There was no other way to describe it.

In the world where time began to flow again, Wei Yanho’s hand showed an impossible speed.

And that speed transformed into a devastating sword.

The world shone for an instant.

The light that emanated from the sword illuminated everything in the blink of an eye.

Then, the sword descended slowly.

“…”

Death Demon gritted his teeth.

“I don’t understand why they included people who don’t even help.”

Poison Demon’s face had also become tense.

“This is…”

The reason for their reaction was simple: they had clearly seen how Wei Yanho’s sword light had decapitated the three Demon Disciples.

Thud. Thud.

With a dull sound, the three bodies fell to the ground. Blood stained the floor red.

“This guy…”

There was no mercy in his actions.

Even the Demon Disciples, accustomed to killing without remorse, couldn’t decapitate someone so easily just for advancing.

“That’s why I say, it’s the fault of the old men that innocent people die.”

Killing three with one blow without flinching. As if he had crushed mosquitoes.

“Definitely…”

Poison Demon shook his head.

“This guy is dangerous.”
“Now you understand?”

Poison Demon slowly raised his hands. He lowered his sleeves, his palms tinged with green emanated a sinister aura.

“It’s rare to see someone like that. But anyone, once poisoned, falls the same.”
“Heh, heh, it’s been a long time since I heard that.”

Poison Demon and Death Demon advanced towards Wei Yanho with a completely different pressure.

Wei Yanho sighed.

“They don’t understand words.”

Since ancient times, there was a way to deal with those who didn’t listen to reason.

“If hitting them isn’t enough, I better warn them: may you reach Nirvana in peace!”

Wei Yanho and the two Bishops launched themselves against each other.
