**Chapter 569: The Lazy One Gets Serious (4)**

*Gulp.*

The sound of dry saliva being swallowed echoed clearly.

*’I think I’ve seen something like this before…’*

Ah, yes. It was with the Tang Family. Back then, Wei Yanho had absorbed poison from someone who was poisoned, leaving his face completely red.

But this time it was different.

*’How much did he swallow?’*

That was the poison accumulated by the Poison Demon inside his body. Although the Tang Family of Sichuan also had experts in venomous arts and used lethal poisons, their main focus was on spreading the poison as a martial technique.

But the Poison Demon stored the poison inside his body. If someone tried to absorb it, even the Poison King of the world wouldn’t last an instant before turning into a puddle of blood.

And he had swallowed it?

“Uh… are you okay?” asked the Master of Divine Abilities, visibly uncomfortable, as he discreetly took a step back.

*’That damn brute.’*

It was true that finding a solution for this poison wasn’t easy. But of all the ideas he had considered, this was, without a doubt, the most absurd.

What kind of mind would conceive of… swallowing it?

“Ah… well, ummm…” Wei Yanho tilted his head, thoughtfully. “I think I’m o— No, wait! I don’t think I’m okay! Ugh!”

His body shook violently, and suddenly, green smoke began to pour out of his nose and mouth.

“Kyaaaak!”
“Spit it out! Spit it out!” the people present shouted, quickly backing away.

“Ugh! Ugh!” Wei Yanho waved his arms as if he were drowning in the water, catching the smoke and inhaling it again. Then, with eyes filled with poison (in more than one sense), he shouted, “How can you run away to save yourself alone?!”

“We can’t all die, you idiot!” someone retorted.

Wei Yanho’s gaze locked onto Wei Jeonghan.

“Are you abandoning your own son to run away?! Your son?!”

“At least one must survive.”

Wei Yanho gritted his teeth, feeling the injustice of the situation.

“I’ll tell Mom!”

“…I was wrong.”

The Master of Divine Abilities watched the scene, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

*’What the hell are they doing?’*

It was an extremely serious situation. In an instant, the entire population of Luoyang could have died, reduced to blood. Even for someone like him, who had lived through countless battles, this was, without a doubt, the first time he had seen something so terrifying.

Not even if the Gran Rey Demonio himself had appeared could he have killed so many people at once. It was impossible. But if this went wrong, hundreds of thousands would die in an instant.

Anyone in their right mind would be covered in cold sweat, their heart beating a mile a minute.

But…

“This is too much!”
“Don’t come near! If it intoxicates us, we’ll die instantly!”
“Amituofo! Please, don’t take another step towards here, or I’ll break your skull before you can do it.”
“Is that what a monk says?”
“Do monks have nine lives? If we die, we’ll both go to hell. So don’t come near! Or I’ll blow your head off!”

His furious and threatening expression was worthy of an Asura. How had a guy like that ended up in Shaolin?

*’Although… this isn’t over yet.’*

The Master of Divine Abilities coughed several times, trying to calm down. If Wei Yanho failed to control that poison, the situation would repeat itself.

“Are you okay?”
“I don’t know if I’m okay… this is…” Wei Yanho pressed his stomach repeatedly. Every time he did, something green came out and went back into his mouth. It was a nightmarish scene. “I don’t think I’m digesting it well.”
“It’s not something to digest! What kind of digestion were you expecting?!”
“Oh, no?” Wei Yanho tilted his head, confused. “But normally, when I eat something, it gets digested, doesn’t it?”
“If you swallow metal, does it digest?”
“It could be…” He scratched his head.

The Master of Divine Abilities finally noticed something strange.

*’But… why isn’t he dead?’*

He should be. Anyone who did that would die, right?

Wei Yanho was completely dyed green, but showed no signs of pain. According to logic, with that level of intoxication, he should be dead.

“Are you… okay?” he asked, although he immediately felt ridiculous saying it.

How could he ask that question seeing his state?

“Ah, I think I’m o— Eh?!” Suddenly, his shoulder swelled enormously. The Master of Divine Abilities’ eyes widened. “Eh? What’s wrong? Uf!” He pressed his shoulder with his hand, and it returned to its place, but then his side swelled up. “Eh?”
“…”
“This shouldn’t be happening…” Every time he pushed one part, another swelled up, as if he were squeezing a wineskin. The Master of Divine Abilities finally covered his face with his hands.

*’For the love of Heaven, act like a human being, PLEASE.’*

What did he expect? Was it too much to ask that someone act like a normal person? That’s why they were in this situation!

“I’ll have to do something… my stomach is burning.”
“…”
He was complaining of heartburn after swallowing the Poison Demon’s poison? If the late Demon heard him, he would die again from rage.

“Can you fix it?” The Master of Divine Abilities tried to maintain his sanity. If he lost control now, the situation would get completely out of hand.
“It won’t be easy, but…” Wei Yanho hit his stomach. “I have something to rely on.”
“Eh?”
“There’s something. Just in case I fail, get away.”
“And if you fail?”
Wei Yanho stared at him and replied:
“What do you think will happen?”
“…It was a stupid question. Sorry.” The Master of Divine Abilities reproached himself for his stupidity. What would happen? Obviously, they would die.

“Tch.” Wei Yanho clicked his tongue, turned around, and sat in the lotus position, away from the group.

*’Enough joking around.’*

Although he was acting calmly, the situation was more dangerous than it seemed. He wasn’t afraid of dying from poison. As powerful as the Poison Demon’s poison was, in front of Baek Muhan’s inner core, it was nothing more than toad poison. Or maybe bee poison.

The problem was that Baek Muhan’s core was using Wei Yanho’s body as a purification field.

*Buzz…*

Baek Muhan’s inner core was ready to emerge, like a sharp sword. This arrogant ruler, who did not tolerate intruders, had let the poison run this far because he knew that if he acted abruptly, Wei Yanho’s body would explode.

So he had remained still. But not for long. The core had the same temperament as Baek Muhan.

*Buzz!*

*’I know, I know.’*

Wei Yanho took a deep breath. At this moment, not even he could guarantee his safety. He knew better than anyone the power of Baek Muhan’s core, something that not even in his current state he could control.

He could only hope that it would purge the poison and return to its place.

In moments like this, there was only one thing to say:

*’Namu Amitabha!’*

Buddha was there for these situations. Wei Yanho released the energy that enveloped his stomach, and at the same time…

*BOOOOM!*

A sound like a waterfall was heard. The energy that poured out of his stomach began to devour the poison that permeated his body without mercy. No energy in this world could resist Baek Muhan’s core.

The legacy of the invincible warrior was, in turn, invincible. Faced with that colossal energy, anything else was powerless.

But that didn’t mean there weren’t problems.

“Ugh!” Baek Muhan’s energy mercilessly destroyed and purged the poison. Like a filter that separates impurities from water, it meticulously cleaned Wei Yanho’s contaminated energy, crushing only the poison.

*Splat!*

But the poison that occupied his body was not normal either. Although it could not resist Baek Muhan’s energy, its agony shattered Wei Yanho’s body.

The rebellious poison and Baek Muhan’s energy fought inside him, turning his body into a battlefield. His organs were torn apart, his muscles were broken.

*Drip…*

The blood from his torn organs flowed through his mouth. But that wasn’t all. The heat released by the neutralization of the poison made his body turn red-hot.

The blood that came out of his mouth boiled, turning into a red smoke that poured out of his seven orifices.

“Grrr…!” Wei Yanho gritted his teeth.

*Damn inner core.*

It was just as stubborn as its master. With that power, it could have neutralized the poison easily, but no, it had to make a mess.

With no time to complain, his body continued to break.

*Crack!*

The sound of bones breaking resonated clearly. It was as if massive explosions were occurring inside him.

“Cough!” He spat blood repeatedly, but it seemed endless.
*’Am I going to die for real?’*
The situation was getting out of control.

He thought that with Baek Muhan’s core there would be no problem, but in reality, it was thanks to him that Wei Yanho was on the verge of death.

*’I have to do something!’*
If his body kept breaking, there would be no solution. It wasn’t a matter of recovery. He would be disabled. How could he live normally if all his bones broke and his flesh was torn?

Then…

*Buzz!*

A terrifying energy surged from Baek Muhan’s core. After burning the poison completely, the core ascended his spine towards his head.

*’No!’*

*BOOOOOOM!*

A massive explosion erupted in his head. Wei Yanho’s consciousness faded into the distance.
