Chapter 597. The Lazy One, Inheriting (2)

“A little…”

“Umm.”

“Right?”

Jangil slowly stepped back.

-What’s wrong with that guy?

-How would I know?

-Looks like he’s really pissed.

They already knew that Wei Yanho, although usually carefree, had no mercy when he acted. In fact, just thinking about how many had died by his hands, it was impossible to say that Wei Yanho was weak-hearted.

But even considering that, the current Wei Yanho was different from usual.

A murderous aura could be felt from his back.

Jangil felt chills.

-There are times when he’s scary when he cuts with a mocking smile.

But seeing him grit his teeth and brandish his sword provoked an instinctive terror.

-Next time I should provoke him in moderation.

If you bother him when he’s in a bad mood, it seems he won’t even leave the bones.

Wei Jeonghan also shook his head.

“Every day is different.”

Who didn’t know that Wei Yanho was strong?

Wei Yanho no longer needed to prove his ability. His achievements so far were more than enough, even excessive. No one dared to doubt his strength.

However, Wei Yanho kept demonstrating his power.

The Wei Yanho who fought against the Heavenly Flowing Sword was different from the one who went to the Demon Cult, and the one who went to the Demon Cult was different from the one who fought against the Bishop.

And the Wei Yanho who fought against the Bishop was different from the current one.

It is said that after three days of separation, one must look with new eyes, but Wei Jeonghan and Wei Yanho hadn’t even been separated for three days.

Kwaaaaahhhh!

The spheres of white light that Wei Yanho emitted fell upon the world like meteors.

“It’s terrifying.”

From behind it was seen more clearly.

With each step that Wei Yanho took forward, the topography of the forest changed. When this battle was over, the map of this area would have to be redrawn.

Wei Jeonghan watched Wei Yanho’s back with serious eyes.

“It’s an incomprehensible level.”

What father wouldn’t be happy that his son grew in ability? All the fathers in the world would celebrate it. But Wei Jeonghan couldn’t indiscriminately rejoice in Wei Yanho’s strength.

He could understand that he became stronger.

Wei Yanho was the disciple of the Sword Emperor.

The Sword Emperor had occupied the position of the strongest in the world for more than three hundred years, no, if the time he was alive is included, almost four hundred years.

It was natural that his disciple would be strong. And that he would grow quickly. Up to there he could understand it. Who in the world could imagine how strong the Sword Emperor was?

But there was something he couldn’t comprehend.

His internal energy.

Wuooooong!

The spheres of light that Wei Yanho emitted filled the world again.

Wei Jeonghan frowned slightly at the scene.

He didn’t know how much internal energy each of those spheres of light consumed. But even if they required much less energy than it seemed, the number of spheres that Wei Yanho had created so far exceeded a hundred.

A common martial artist, no, even a Shaolin monk considered the best in the world in internal energy, would already be exhausted at this point.

But Wei Yanho showed no signs of fatigue.

No, far from being tired, he maintained the same countenance as at the beginning. So, where did that overwhelming internal energy come from?

“The good is good, but…”

Wei Yanho was becoming strong at an overwhelming rate.

“He is becoming strong beyond common sense. Yes, really beyond common sense. But there is no need to worry. After all, that child has not learned demonic arts. As he is the disciple of the Sword Emperor, it is natural that he is strong. That child is becoming strong only to fulfill the role that heaven has assigned him.”

According to the words of the Master of Divine Abilities, everything moves according to the will of heaven. Therefore, Wei Yanho becoming strong is also the will of heaven.

“But for what?”

If not everyone in the martial world is a puppet, why should only Wei Yanho become so strong?

Wei Jeonghan didn’t like that Wei Yanho was getting ahead of everything in the world. It was as if Wei Yanho had to endure all future difficulties completely alone.

Sssss.

That couldn’t be.

Wei Jeonghan unsheathed his sword and walked slowly forward. Then he stood next to Wei Yanho, who kept emitting spheres of light.

Wei Yanho’s sharp gaze turned to Wei Jeonghan.

“Father?”

He frowned slightly.

The meaning of that look was obvious. He meant that he was getting in the way and should step aside. In the past, Wei Jeonghan would have retreated obediently. He had long admitted that he couldn’t help his son in battle.

But the current Wei Jeonghan didn’t back down.

“I must earn my bread too.”

“No…”

“You don’t need to do everything alone. Isn’t that so?”

Wei Yanho, with his mouth slightly open, stopped speaking.

Then he looked at Wei Jeonghan for a moment before raising his head and looking at the sky.

“Hmm…”

He remembered his master’s words.

Suddenly, the severity in Wei Yanho’s eyes disappeared. His firmly pressed lips relaxed slightly. Then, his clumsy hand went to the back of his head.

“Hehe, I know, but I can’t help it. My master told me not to.”

“It’s because you got angry out of nowhere.”

“It’s that it infuriates me!”

“What?”

“Those guys!”

Wei Yanho pointed forward with his finger. He was going to point at the disciples of Baekgeom Fortress.

“Huh?”

But there was no one in front of him. To be exact, there was no one standing in front of him.

In that brief time, the two hundred vanguards of Baekgeom Fortress were all lying on the ground. Some had died, but most were groaning and holding their breath.

“Eh, I mean, these guys…”

Wei Yanho sighed and spoke.

“My master told me. That there would be things that would infuriate me, things that would irritate me. And that there would also be times when I would feel terribly wronged.”

“That’s right.”

“But he said that if I used poison, dark arts or despicable methods at those times, I would become the same as them.”

Wei Jeonghan nodded silently.

“So you were angry?”

“Of course I know that. That that’s just idealism. My master has that side. Where is that seen in reality? If I don’t have the strength to deal with those guys, I should use poison or whatever to win. But!”

Wei Yanho’s voice filled with strength.

“Those guys shout ‘Infinity Sword’.”

Wei Yanho pursed his lips.

“I couldn’t stand that those guys who talk about using my master’s sword dared to do what he hates the most so brazenly. If my master saw this, he would have knocked down Baekgeom Fortress with a single stroke of his sword. No doubt.”

“…Yes, I understand.”

Wei Jeonghan’s face couldn’t help but relax.

Wei Yanho’s heart, thinking of his master, was truly touching.

‘But it’s too much.’

Obsession.

Everything in Wei Yanho revolved around following his master’s words. He judged the good and evil of the world according to his master. Although he knew it wasn’t so, in the end he depended completely on his master’s judgment.

In other words, Wei Yanho’s world was built by his master’s words. Wei Jeonghan felt how enormous his mistake had been.

“Why couldn’t I embrace him before?”

For Wei Yanho, his master was not just someone who taught him martial arts. He was the one who transmitted the martial arts to him, gave him affection and made him recognized by the world when he was nothing more than a wretch.

His master’s hard training was also the basis of his growth.

“It’s not strange that he follows him in such an extraordinary way.”

Because it was the role that he couldn’t fulfill.

Originally, it was something that a father should do. But Wei Jeonghan couldn’t be a good father to Wei Yanho. It was Baek Muhan who filled that void.

Wei Yanho’s devotion to Baek Muhan was not so much a blind faith in his master as seeing his father as his world.

“I can’t accept that those who say they inherit the Infinity Sword act in such a despicable way.”

“I understand what you’re saying.”

Wei Jeonghan sighed quietly.

“I know why you’re angry. But you don’t need to be angry alone.”

“Mmm…”

“If we have to be angry, we’ll do it together. So don’t try to fight alone. Even if it’s not of much help, at least I can relieve some of the burden.”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho nodded.

“My master also told me that.”

“…Yes.”

There was still an unease.

Not because his place had been usurped by Baek Muhan. Wei Jeonghan was not such a petty man. And if he should be angry about that, he should be angry with himself.

The unease that Wei Jeonghan felt now was for Wei Yanho.

The worry that the obsession with Baek Muhan would one day become poison for Wei Yanho left a bitter taste in his mouth.

“Am I thinking too much?”

Wei Jeonghan shook his head.

Wei Yanho was doing well. Too well. What more could he ask of him? That would be too cruel for Wei Yanho.

All parents would feel uncomfortable about small imperfections in their children. But not being able to tolerate even those imperfections is parental greed.

“Yanho.”

“Yes, Father.”

“You are the second son of the Wei family of Guangdong.”

“…”

“Never forget it.”

“Yes. I haven’t forgotten.”

“Good, then it’s enough.”

That was enough, for now.

While Wei Yanho and Wei Jeonghan were talking, Jangil approached stealthily.

Seeing the completely devastated area in front of them, Jangil shook his head.

“He completely wrecked it. What a brute.”

Even speaking, he couldn’t believe it.

Until arriving here, no one would have imagined that the battle would take this course. No one would have expected it.

Although they had seen with their own eyes Wei Yanho’s divine status at the headquarters of the Righteous Martial Alliance, they couldn’t feel calm. They knew that the bishops were strong, they had seen their power clearly, but still they couldn’t assimilate it.

How strong Wei Yanho was.

The bishops were too unknown to serve as a reference for Wei Yanho’s strength. They had fallen under his sword before they could feel how much stronger they had become compared to the past.

“Now he has become a true monster.”

Thinking about how different the Wei Yanho he saw for the first time was from the current one, Jangil shook his head.

“It doesn’t seem like he can lose.”

Although it was the worst possible situation, with Baekgeom Fortress and the Demon Cult attacking simultaneously, seeing Wei Yanho, they couldn’t think of defeat. It was an obvious conclusion when thinking who could defeat this madman.

“You.”

“Huh?”

“Don’t think about anything else. More are coming.”

At Wei Yanho’s words, Jangil looked forward with tense eyes. The bushes stirred and a man came walking out. Seeing the devastated area around him, the man frowned slightly.

“What a mess.”

His gaze rested on Wei Yanho.

“So you are Wei Yanho.”

Just when Wei Yanho was going to say something, the man spoke first.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Baek Hoemyung. I am the vice-chief of Baekgeom Fortress, no, the vice-chief of the Great Family of the Infinity Sword.”

At his words, the atmosphere became frigid.
