Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 144

The Three Kings’ Disciple (145)

144

“We greet the Blood Demon!”

Kang Eun-ha shouted cheerfully.

Because Lee Ro-woon was in China, she hadn’t seen him often, and it wasn’t common for Lee Ro-woon to seek her out first.

Even though.

“We greet the Blood Demon.”

She was called along with other members of the Blood Cult, but Kang Eun-ha was happy just by the fact that Lee Ro-woon had called for her.

Kang Eun-ha couldn’t hide her beaming face.

“Just give us your orders, whatever they may be!”

It was a pleasant thing that the person they respected and pledged their loyalty to trusted them and gave them tasks.

As Kang Eun-ha said that and raised her head.

“……?”

She could see everyone’s serious faces.

Black Lion King, Ha Se-min’s face looked like he had eaten something foul, and the witch of Jongnam, Baek Cheong, had a face mixed with annoyance and worry.

‘Looks good.’

Kang Eun-ha thought that for a moment while looking at Baek Cheong’s face, but soon, as the head of the Eunha Guild, she was able to grasp the situation.

‘This is no ordinary matter.’

She examined the members gathered before Lee Ro-woon.

They were all members she had seen before, the ones who had gathered not long ago.

“Everyone’s here.”

In particular, Bondeano, who hadn’t even shown his face, saying he would repair and learn the Taegeuk Chilseong Formation [Seven Stars Formation of the Great Ultimate], was here with a distorted face.

“It’s nothing big, so there’s no need to be so serious.”

Lee Ro-woon said nonchalantly.

“Bullshit, it’s not nothing…”

Kang Eun-ha glared at Baek Cheong’s mutterings.

She couldn’t forgive her for speaking to the Blood Demon like that, but she would endure it since it was in front of the Blood Demon.

“Haa…”

But then came a sigh.

*Gulp.*

The sound of swallowing dry saliva from tension made Kang Eun-ha also start to feel a little nervous.

But she was different from them.

‘Whatever the Blood Demon orders, I will accomplish it.’

She was confident that she could do it with a smile, no matter what it was.

“While learning Wudang’s Yin-Yang Divine Art, I gained a minor insight.”

Insight.

It was a martial artist’s enlightenment that could lead to a higher realm or bring about a major change in martial arts.

“Oh…! You have obtained Wudang’s Yin-Yang Divine Art.”

Blood Cult Leader, Kang Han-cheol, also spoke with delight at the mention of the Yin-Yang Divine Art.

“Indeed, Wudang has submitted to the Blood Demon and has given up everything.”

Kang Han-cheol was pleased, knowing that the Yin-Yang Divine Art was Wudang’s ultimate technique.

“And you even gained an insight…”

Kang Han-cheol’s eyes shone like stars that were about to emit light.

He was the Blood Cult Leader and a Blood Cult member who was loyal to Lee Ro-woon, but his essence was that of a martial artist.

It was natural that he had an endless thirst for new martial arts and new realms.

“Congratulations…!”

Kang Eun-ha also shouted, happy as if it were her own accomplishment, when.

“So, we have to do what we did before again.”

Lee Ro-woon’s voice was heard.

“What we did before…?”

Kang Eun-ha’s expression gradually hardened.

She had believed that she could accomplish anything, but.

“That thing.”

This time, it was true that she was afraid.

***

“I’ll activate the formation.”

Bondeano’s tense voice was heard.

The Silver Formation was different from Einheart’s magic circle, but Bondeano had not neglected his studies of the Silver Formation while living in the Blood King’s Castle.

As a result, he was able to activate the Silver Formation without internal energy.

*Whoooom!*

He had also succeeded in creating his own unique formation that mixed magic circles and formations.

Its results were not yet clear, but at least he could activate formations or magic circles with higher efficiency.

The surging energy gathered and drew a Taegeuk [Great Ultimate] barrier.

Inside it.

“Good.”

Lee Ro-woon was standing.

“It’s made by connecting the Taegeuk Chilseong Formation, Mount Wudang, and the Blood King’s Castle. Even if it’s small…”

It was originally impossible, but it was possible because Kang Han-cheol, the keeper of the Blood King’s Castle, and Cheonjong, who had newly become the keeper of Mount Wudang, were present.

“It will be as effective as the Taecheon Geomabong Formation [Heavenly Demon Sword Peak Formation].”

Bondeano said proudly.

But the worry on one side of his face did not disappear.

Outside the formation where Lee Ro-woon was trapped.

“……”

Many people had gathered and were raising their energy.

What Lee Ro-woon was about to do now.

“I’ll say it again.”

Lee Ro-woon said.

“It’s the same as before. If the formation breaks, attack me with the determination to kill me.”

The power he had shown when facing the Heavenly Demon, who had been covered in chaos.

*Gulp.*

He was about to unleash the power of chaos.

“Hoo.”

Kang Eun-ha, who had thought that anything would be okay, let out a breath of tension.

It was the Blood Demon’s order.

She was confident that she would carry it out with a smile, even if it cost her life.

But what she had seen that day was something that reminded her of the fear deep in her heart.

A power that she could not resist, a power that she could not overcome.

Above all, Lee Ro-woon, who had unleashed that power.

“I’m… ready.”

He didn’t seem like Lee Ro-woon.

That was frightening.

She was afraid that the Blood Demon would disappear, swallowed by that power. She could smile if her body and mind were destroyed, but the Blood Demon was a unique existence.

“Kang Eun-ha.”

“Yes!”

Kang Eun-ha answered immediately to Lee Ro-woon’s call.

“You did well before. Don’t worry.”

Kang Eun-ha’s face flushed red at Lee Ro-woon’s rare praise.

At the same time, her aversion to that power, which seemed impossible to resist, also decreased slightly.

*Clench.*

That’s right, he’s the Blood Demon.

“I had some insights with the Yin-Yang Divine Art. It’s been confirmed that I can’t do it the way I want.”

What Lee Ro-woon had hoped for with the Yin-Yang Divine Art was to create countless wills to fight the chaos within him.

But while training in the Yin-Yang Divine Art, he soon realized.

‘It’s impossible to divide my will.’

Even if he divided it, he could not control the chaos with a divided will.

He would need more time to figure out how Cheonjong had done it, but at least he couldn’t do it now.

Instead.

‘If I don’t divide myself.’

Something other than himself.

He had tried to see if he could divide the chaos.

It was too dangerous, so this was the first time he was doing it properly.

“Concentrate.”

Along with Lee Ro-woon’s voice.

*Kooong!*

A huge vibration spread from within the formation.

*Shudder.*

Lee Ro-woon’s whole body trembled.

Especially, his eyelids trembled the most.

They slowly lowered.

*Gulp.*

Those who remembered the scene from before.

What had happened when those eyelids had completely closed was literally earth-shattering, a matter that made the sky cry and the earth move.

An immeasurable, distant fear, a power that was beyond human, no, beyond the world.

*Paaat!*

Feeling that fear, everyone released their restraints and watched Lee Ro-woon.

The eyelids that were falling.

“St… stopped.”

They were stopped, half-open and thin.

Success? Failure?

With various opinions in their heads, the others couldn’t come to their senses.

Right then.

“Prepare!”

Bondeano’s shout rang out.

He had seen Lee Ro-woon’s hand slightly rising.

The veins that were popping out on Lee Ro-woon’s bare upper body showed that the majestic internal energy within his body was moving.

When the veins on the left and right took completely different movements.

*Hwaaak!*

Fire ignited in Lee Ro-woon’s eyes.

The left was an eye of a burning sacred fire, and the right was a bloodshot eye.

And an indescribable, strange energy gathered in his raised right hand.

For a moment, just a moment.

*Kwaaaang!*

It exploded and collided with the formation.

“Kuh-euk!”

Those who were pushed back, groaning from the aftereffects that poured out beyond the formation as it collided.

It was when they were about to explode with all their might with their eyes wide open.

“This is too dangerous.”

Lee Ro-woon’s voice was heard.

*Paaah.*

In the fading smoke.

A large crack had formed in the Taegeuk Chilseong Formation that connected Mount Wudang and the Blood King’s Castle.

* * *

Success and failure.

If you had to choose, it was closer to success.

What Lee Ro-woon had done with the Yin-Yang Divine Art was to split the chaos, not his will.

However, just by drawing out that little bit of chaos.

‘The whole thing reacted.’

If he had made a mistake, he would have awakened the chaos while losing consciousness.

The reason why he said it was close to success was that he had succeeded in using that small amount of power.

‘While maintaining my consciousness.’

But he didn’t know about the future, but now the maintenance time for using the power of chaos was extremely short and small.

Just a hair of the power of chaos, about as much as the Heavenly Demon had covered himself with.

Also, the maintenance time should not exceed two seconds.

“Is it a finishing move?”

It was childish, but it was a technique that could be described that way.

But it didn’t seem like there would be a need to use it.

“I have received much grace from my benefactor.”

Cheonjong, with a better complexion, took a fist salute towards Lee Ro-woon.

His body had recovered a little, and Lee Ro-woon had set him as the keeper.

Thanks to that, Cheonjong, who had received the power of the keeper, was able to maintain his life and gain the strength to endure for the time being.

It seemed that it would still be difficult to fully recover him.

“I will try not to disappoint you.”

Cheonjong said with a smile.

Wudang, who had lost their way, was finding their way.

That path might not be what the Wudang of the past had pursued, but they had gained the strength to find the right path someday.

“I will also atone.”

The things Wudang had done.

It was the price of facing chaos, but in the end, it was Wudang who had carried it out.

Their sins were not non-existent.

“I don’t care about that.”

But Lee Ro-woon said.

“Do as you please.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

The matters in Guangzhou and Wudang were roughly over.

He had gained what he needed, and if necessary, he had opened a door connected to the Blood King’s Castle, so he could come anytime.

Now it was time to go back.

He had planned to return directly through the door, but.

“Jongnam will be with the changed Wudang.”

Because of Baek Cheong’s words from the side, he postponed his schedule for a while.

Jongnam and Wudang.

They were forces that were not far away.

Before, there was no exchange due to the closed-off Wudang, but Baek Cheong contacted Jongnam with Lee Ro-woon’s permission.

-Wudang will step out into the world.

The change in Wudang.

-It is an opportunity for Jongnam to be by their side.

Wudang’s power had fallen below 50% due to fighting the chaotic Heavenly Demon, but they were Wudang.

Also.

-‘He’ has obtained Wudang.

Lee Ro-woon had become the master of Wudang.

He was the one who had turned the insignificant Blood Cult into the current Eunha, so Wudang would soon regain its original power, or even more.

-Now…

The rest of the words were not said to Lee Ro-woon.

-You must decide.

It was Baek Cheong’s sincere words to Hyun Ri-young, the sect leader of Jongnam.

The answer to that came yesterday.

Jongnam would be with Wudang.

And that they had sent a messenger.

“We will meet at the midpoint and guide you here.”

At Baek Cheong’s words, Cheonjong nodded.

Now it was time to depart.

“Then, see you next time.”

Cheonjong smiled at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

And shadows appeared in the distance.

The disciples of Wudang.

*Thud.*

They were taking a fist salute with strange eyes and faces.

Also, with a sense of rivalry.

They still hadn’t completely sorted things out.

But now, at least they seemed to have acknowledged and accepted one thing.

That it was Lee Ro-woon who had given them a chance to correct their mistakes and saved their lives.

*Tsk.*

Lee Ro-woon smiled slightly and turned his head to leave.

* * *

“The sect leader of Jongnam…”

Lee Ro-woon said, curving his eyes as if he found it interesting.

“Sent a gift.”
