Disciple Of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 201

There were extremely skilled masters in the lawless zone.

They were known by a certain name.

-The Five Kings.

Five Kings.

It was a title for those who ruled and wielded great influence in that lawless place.

The lawless zone, which encompassed the central region of Russia, was vast, and the areas controlled by the Five Kings were also quite extensive.

Therefore, it was rare to actually encounter one of the Five Kings.

“It’s been a while!” the customers shouted.

“To see Viper in person!”

The Cheongseong disciples [a martial arts sect] jumped in, unleashing their sword techniques from the air.

Unlike in the past, they were not part of the Nine Great Sects, so they didn’t receive many high-quality Spirit Enhancement Pills [pills that enhance internal energy].

However.

Taaat!

That was why they were devoted to training, honing their martial arts without the aid of Spirit Enhancement Pills.

Even if their internal energy and mastery levels were lower, they possessed far greater skills than those who relied on Spirit Enhancement Pills.

Woong!

Sword energy and sword force surged, aiming at the man called Viper.

And then.

Crack!

The sound of flesh being torn echoed.

Viper slightly turned his head and body, dodging the Cheongseong swords.

His right hand transformed like the jaws of a snake, biting the neck of a Cheongseong disciple.

“Ugh!”

It was a fight where they couldn’t retreat.

As the Cheongseong disciples swung their swords again.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Viper had already bitten four more Cheongseong disciples.

Smirk.

A venomous smile spread across his lips.

“They’re morons, but they have a good chew.”

Viper’s figure swayed as he spoke to himself.

At the same time, his arm stretched out as if it were lengthening.

Whack! Whack! Whack!

He pierced through the bellies of several Cheongseong disciples at once.

“Waaaaaaaah!” The customers’ cheers filled the bar.

Now, all that remained was.

Pale.

A single disciple was trembling.

A master of the Flower Realm [a martial arts cultivation stage], probably the one who led the disciples.

“Y-you are…” He was trembling not only because the Cheongseong disciples were defeated so quickly, but also because he had more experience and knowledge than the other disciples and had realized it.

“You… why…” The identity of the man called Viper.

Step, step.

Viper walked towards the remaining disciple.

The same smile as before was not on his lips.

“You are… Shaolin…” [a famous Buddhist martial arts sect]

Crack!

Cold, venomous eyes.

The disciple who was caught by them was left with only his torso, falling like a scarecrow.

The bar was cleared in an instant.

“Waaaaaaaah-!” The customers’ cheers echoed loudly once more.

Indeed, it was the skill of someone worthy of being called one of the Five Kings.

“You morons! Was it fun?!”

“Yeeeeees!”

“If so, it’s a party! Eat and die! Of course…”

Smirk.

“You have to pay, right?”

“Of course! Waaaaaaaah!”

Viper finally seemed satisfied and returned to his original face.

However, his eyes, which were looking somewhere, were more sunken than when he was dealing with the Cheongseong disciples.

Step, step.

He walked.

“Bring the liquor here.”

He arrived at a table and sat down roughly.

“How about it? A drink with me.”

The man, Viper, was smiling, but his eyes were not.

The place he sat was right.

“I don’t want to.”

In front of Lee Rowan.

***

He had been feeling it from the beginning.

From the moment he was separated, someone was watching him.

‘Do they know something?’

Or.

‘Is he just a perceptive guy?’

He tried to sense the other party’s energy, but he thought they might notice, so he left it alone.

The reason why he didn’t follow Baek Cheong when she said she would move separately was also because of that.

That subtle gaze.

That was the identity of the man called Viper.

“You’re refusing the drink I’m offering?” Viper said with wide eyes.

“Do you not know who I am?”

“I think they call you one of the Five Kings.”

“That’s right!” Viper thumped his own chest.

“I am Viper, one of the Five Kings of the lawless zone.”

A voice filled with self-pride.

“That’s why I’m offering to buy you a drink.”

All the customers were already watching this table.

It was rare to even see Viper once, and they had witnessed his skills.

“Who is that man talking to Viper?”

“What is it? Viper doesn’t offer drinks to just anyone, does he?”

A man who Viper approached first and offered a drink.

This was enough to draw attention even in the lawless zone, where incidents and accidents never ceased.

“So, one drink…”

“No.”

“Hahaha! Don’t worry, I won’t take your money! I said I’d buy…”

“I said no.”

The bar, which had been heated up by Viper’s display of power.

The atmosphere of the bar began to cool down.

He had refused Viper’s offer three times.

“I’ll ask one last time.”

Normally, it was known that Viper had a limit of three refusals.

But now.

“Are you really not going to drink?”

He was making an unprecedented fourth offer.

“I said no. Shaolin’s…”

It was the moment before Lee Rowan’s words could even finish.

Woong!

Viper’s five fingers all began to glow and twist.

***

“Gurgle, gurgle.”

Those who couldn’t even groan properly with holes in their necks.

Thud!

Their upper bodies were crushed and burst.

“Hah.”

A small sigh escaped.

The main character was Viper.

He shook his head as if he was truly sorry, and countless corpses were scattered at his feet.

They were all customers who had been praising Viper and ordering drinks until just now.

Among them.

Crack!

There was also a bar employee.

Someone who could be said to be Viper’s person.

“So.”

Viper’s eyes turned to one place.

The only table that was still intact in the bar, which was in a state of war.

“Why are you saying unnecessary things?”

It was the table where Lee Rowan was sitting.

The moment Lee Rowan mentioned Shaolin, Viper immediately began to destroy the bar.

So that no one could hear or remember.

“I used a barrier to block the sound earlier, but did you hear it?” Viper finally approached Lee Rowan, the last survivor, and spoke.

“Or did you just realize it?”

Now, he didn’t even try to hide his expression.

“So, I’m even more curious about your identity. Are you a member of the Assembly? But I don’t feel even a bit of internal energy.”

He stood in front of Lee Rowan and spoke.

“You don’t feel any magic, so you can’t be a player, and you don’t feel any mana, so you can’t be an Einheart.”

But.

“I feel a sense that I should never interfere with you.”

Viper usually doesn’t show himself much.

However, he quietly came out into the street due to a strange sense of unease that suddenly arose.

He became even more tense when he saw the person he had tracked down enter one of his bars.

There was a possibility that they were an assassin sent by another of the Five Kings, or a hunter who had come from the outside.

But it didn’t seem to be any of those.

That being said.

“If you don’t want to drink, I understand.”

He didn’t want to confront him.

“But I feel like I’ve disturbed your time, so I’ll pay the price.”

Clink.

A small coin fell in front of Lee Rowan.

A crude coin that seemed like it wouldn’t be accepted anywhere in the world.

Only the snake drawn inside it wriggled as if it were alive.

“If you need help, come find me, and I’ll help you once.”

With those words, Viper quietly left his bar.

Step, step, step.

Viper walked away.

Only then.

“Haa. Haa. Haa…” He breathed heavily and grabbed the wall.

He was one of the Five Kings.

In the lawless zone, there were only a handful of people who could stand against him, including the Five Kings.

Except for a few of them, Viper was confident that he wouldn’t even be afraid.

But now, Viper was terrified.

“Crazy…”

He kept observing and observing.

He deliberately fought the Cheongseong disciples and even killed the customers in the bar, continuing to observe.

Unwavering eyes.

A mouth that seemed indifferent.

A languor that was felt from the human itself.

“Damn it, where did that kind of thing come from?”

It was the same as that person.

The true king of the lawless zone.

One of them, the Demon Emperor.

It was the same feeling as that person.

That’s why he ran away…

Thud, roll, roll.

A round object that had fallen on the floor rolled out.

“I have a favor to ask.”

Behind Viper, who didn’t look back, something like the voice of a grim reaper was heard.

“Right now.”

“Haha. If that’s the case, you should have said so earlier.”

Viper slowly turned around.

Lee Rowan was standing in front of him.

* * *

There were several reasons why Lee Rowan carefully observed Viper’s presence.

A huge energy that felt special even in the lawless zone.

The level of the man named Viper was.

‘The peak of the Profound Realm.’ [a martial arts cultivation stage]

Indeed, he was a man who had reached the level to be called one of the Five Kings in the lawless zone.

Also, when he entered the bar and fought the Cheongseong disciples, Viper once again caught Lee Rowan’s attention.

A technique that transformed like a snake and tore apart the opponent.

Because of the name Viper, he thought he was a player or an Einheart, but he was.

‘A disciple of Shaolin.’

He was definitely an elite disciple of Shaolin.

And finally, his strange senses and the subtle energy that was imbued in him.

That was the reason.

Lee Rowan spoke to Viper, whom he had stopped.

“You must have a brand on your body.”

“……!” Viper’s eyes turned cold.

Until just now, he had no intention of confronting Lee Rowan.

“How do you know that?”

“I want to meet the person who put that brand on you.”

Viper’s pupils shook greatly.

At that moment.

“Kuh-euk.”

Viper groaned.

His pupils began to change, becoming as thin as those of a reptile.

“Kuaaaaaaak!” With a shout, cracks began to appear on the outer wall of the building.

The Viper from before was certainly strong, but.

Goooh.

The aura he was now emitting was on a completely different level.

“So, there’s a seal on him.”

As soon as Lee Rowan finished speaking.

Paat!

Viper’s fingers flew towards Lee Rowan’s face.

The pure energy transformed into a powerful force that seemed to crush everything, but.

Crack!

What Viper’s fingers pierced was not Lee Rowan’s face, but the outer wall of the building.

Whirrrrr! Kwaaang!

In an instant, a building collapsed, and dust began to swirl.

“Grrrrrrr.” Viper was now howling like a beast.

The bulging veins on his face looked like they would burst at any moment, and the white part of his golden pupils, which had become thin, began to turn black.

This meant one thing.

Kwaaaang!

“Demonization.”

Or more accurately.

“Demonification.”

Tat!

Lee Rowan stepped aside once more, and Viper’s hand scraped the floor.

It was definitely a power and strength that could not be compared to before, but the jerky movements, as if something was broken, felt bizarre.

The body’s control due to the seal.

“S-stop…” Viper was resisting it.

The conflict between the two was fighting within his body.

Originally, this situation would only end if he killed Lee Rowan, who was the reason for the seal being activated.
