Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 200

The Three Kings’ Disciple (201)

200

There are many reasons why players fear martial artists, but the biggest reason is that they don’t have to worry about their sects.

The sect was everything to martial artists.

Unlike guilds that gather for profit, sects are like family.

If you mess with one of them, they’ll swarm like a disturbed beehive, regardless of profit.

That’s why players are afraid of fighting martial artists.

“It’s different…”

The team members were in an uproar at the sight of the lawless zone.

“This place is really…”

A scene where their common sense and thoughts were shattered all at once.

“What are you so surprised about?”

Baek Cheong said sharply to them.

“Why are you so surprised as if something is wrong?”

Baek Cheong’s tone was cold.

“Well… isn’t it?”

The first squad leader opened his mouth.

“Players are to martial artists…”

The first squad leader trailed off.

It was Baek Cheong who completed the sentence.

“Just subjects to be ruled?”

Smirk.

A sneer appeared on Baek Cheong’s lips.

It wasn’t openly talked about, but that was the reality of how martial artists thought of players.

Officially, it was said that martial artists were the protectors of players and the residents of Earth, but.

“You’ve seen this kind of thing often, haven’t you?”

In reality, they acted like rulers.

The scene of players harassing martial artists that they had just witnessed was a common occurrence outside the lawless zone, with the roles reversed.

“Don’t be mistaken.”

Baek Cheong’s eyes scanned each of the team members.

“The reason why martial artists have power outside is because of the power of the group, not their individual strength.”

The moment the power of the group disappears.

“In the end, they’re just brats relying on their sects and associations.”

And when those finally disappear, what remains is.

“Individual strength.”

The fundamentals.

“That’s the only thing that proves your worth. If you can’t do that, then of course, things you can’t imagine will happen somewhere.”

“……”

“And.”

It was a complaint that Baek Cheong had held for a long time.

The first was the sight of martial artists neglecting their efforts by relying on the power of the Ghoul Spirit Clan.

Her dissatisfaction with getting stronger just by consuming elixirs, rather than training in martial arts and reaching a higher level.

And another thing.

“The residents of Earth are not our slaves. If you think like that, it wouldn’t be strange if you die someday.”

It was the behavior of martial artists who looked down on and harassed the residents of Earth.

The second reason contained various beliefs, such as the pride of a martial artist, but.

Swoosh.

Now, there was a bigger reason that swallowed all of that.

“……”

Lee Rowoon.

The fact that he was a player.

If he, who was quiet now, were to rise up someday.

‘The world will change.’

At that time, they would have to work hard to survive in the changed world.

“What are you looking at…”

The players who had approached. When they, who hadn’t heard the voice properly, tried to draw their swords closer to Baek Cheong.

Swish!

Their arms were cut off, spraying blood.

“One week, free time. Move on your own.”

“Kkyaaaak!”

Ignoring the screaming players, Baek Cheong took a step forward.

***

-I have something to do.

Baek Cheong declared that she had something to do and would move separately.

-We’ll spend time with our team members.

Squads 1 and 2 decided to move together with their team members.

They had felt and learned a lot from the training of Squad 3 leader, Lee Rowoon.

-It seems like it would be good to gain practical experience here.

It seemed like they wanted to test their improved skills right away.

The lawless zone was an area where fights frequently occurred.

Dozens of times a day.

No, even more than that.

It was a place where minor disputes and deadly battles easily occurred, so there were many cases where martial artists went to the lawless zone to train in actual combat.

And the last remaining Squad 3.

-We’ll try it on our own.

They said they would move away from the squad leader.

-I don’t think we can do it properly if the squad leader is with us.

The members of Squad 3 also wanted to gain practical experience.

However, for them, Lee Rowoon’s existence was like poison.

Lee Rowoon was too strong.

If he were by their side.

-I remember the captain’s words. To build our own strength.

There would be moments when they would unconsciously rely on Lee Rowoon.

They were going to move separately to prevent that.

-We will make sure that nothing happens to the squad leader.

Lee Rowoon chose to leave them alone as they pleased.

After all, the reality was that he didn’t have much interest in them.

So, Lee Rowoon was.

“Your beer is here.”

He was spending time alone for the first time in a long time.

After returning to Earth, after leaving the corpse disposal site of the volcano, Lee Rowoon was always with someone.

Eunha, Heukshi, and many others.

The time Lee Rowoon spent alone was never much.

“Keep the change.”

Lee Rowoon put down the dollar, and the clerk glanced at Lee Rowoon and disappeared behind the counter.

“Is there anything good happening this time?”

Lee Rowoon was in a bar in the lawless zone.

He didn’t particularly want to drink, but he just ended up here where his feet led him.

“The Eriba Guild is looking for people? Players…, martial artists…”

“It’s a war, right? Why would you support that?”

“But it’s lucrative.”

Many people were drinking heavily and talking.

Even though it was a lawless zone, it was still a place where people lived.

Everything that people needed to live was available.

“Sir, it’s prepaid.”

There were also many people who worked in various professions.

“You’re telling me to pay?”

“Isn’t it natural to pay if you order a drink?”

“You crazy bastard.”

A commotion arose.

“Do you know who I am?”

The one causing the commotion was a martial artist wearing martial attire.

A stubborn martial artist who insisted on wearing martial attire instead of Earth’s clothing to maintain his pride as a martial artist.

“Can’t you see this mark?”

He said, pointing to his martial attire.

It was a mark that Lee Rowoon also knew.

“You’re a disciple of Cheongseong [a once-prominent martial arts sect].”

A mark symbolizing the Cheongseong Sect.

Cheongseong was a huge organization that used to belong to the Nine Great Sects in the past.

Even now, their power was not something that could be ignored.

The reason why they were not currently called the Nine Great Sects was a political issue, not a matter of power, according to most people.

“It seems your small eyes have finally opened.”

The martial artist tried to sit back down.

“Sir.”

The clerk calmly called him.

“As I said, it’s prepaid.”

“You finally!”

Clang!

In the end, the disciple of the Cheongseong Sect drew his sword.

“Kikikik.”

“Kuk.”

“Is that bastard new to the lawless zone?”

The face of the one who seemed to be a disciple of the Cheongseong Sect turned red at the numerous jeers directed at him.

If he had only intended to threaten them until just now.

“I will not let those who have insulted my Cheongseong live.”

Now, he began to show his true intentions, emitting killing intent.

A sword that moved like a snake.

It was heading towards the clerk’s neck.

It looked as if the clerk’s neck would be cut off at any moment, but.

“You son of a bitch.”

The clerk’s face contorted, and the situation reversed.

Clang!

The Cheongseong’s sword was knocked away.

Crack!

The clerk grabbed the Cheongseong Sect disciple’s neck with one hand and lifted him up.

“Guh! Guh!”

The Cheongseong Sect disciple struggled in pain as the fingers dug in, and the clerk’s one arm swelled up greatly.

‘The martial artist is first-rate.’

The skill of the martial artist who said he was a disciple of the Cheongseong Sect was first-rate.

And.

“A Ranker [a high-level player].”

The clerk was a skilled person who had reached the level of a Ranker.

“If you don’t have money, don’t eat.”

“Guh!”

“What about Cheongseong? Looking at you crawling all the way here, you’re either a disciple who was expelled or a fugitive.”

His fingers dug in even deeper.

“What good is that? If you don’t have money…”

Crack!

In the end, the martial artist’s neck was broken in half.

“You shouldn’t eat.”

Thud.

The martial artist, who was dropped like a piece of luggage, lay on the floor, not even twitching.

The clerk, as if it were natural, began to search the luggage and take the sword.

“I guess I can barely get the price of the drinks.”

“Whew!”

“You’re so cool today too!”

“That’s why I come here.”

The lawless zone was also a place where people lived.

Naturally, everything needed for people to live was prepared, and there were people who made a living doing such things.

Also, naturally.

“A guy who’s not even worth a punch.”

Not just anyone could do such a thing.

The beer that costs only five thousand won in Korea costs hundreds of thousands of won in Korean currency here.

It meant that you had to have that level of skill to do business in this place where huge profits were concentrated.

Gulp.

Lee Rowoon, who had taken a sip of beer, put down his glass.

Thud!

The commotion wasn’t over yet.

“Disciple!”

A group of people who seemed to be disciples of Cheongseong roughly opened the door and entered.

***

There were a total of twenty-five disciples of Cheongseong who entered the bar.

One of them was.

‘Hwagyung [a high level of martial arts cultivation].’

He had reached the level of Hwagyung.

Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be on some kind of mission in the lawless zone, not fugitives or expelled disciples as the clerk had said.

One of their group had come to the bar.

Thud!

The rest of the group arrived late.

It was perhaps natural that the Cheongseong disciples caused a commotion when they saw that the energy of the Cheongseong disciple, who was called a disciple, had disappeared.

The clerk’s skill was said to be at the Ranker level, but the Cheongseong disciples were not to be trifled with either.

The customers were just engrossed in watching.

Thud!

The clerks stepped forward and engaged in a bloody battle with the Cheongseong disciples.

“You bug-like things.”

In the end, it was the Cheongseong disciples who won.

The clerks of the bar could not stop them, who were a mix of Hwagyung and Superlative Realm [another high level of martial arts cultivation].

Clang!

However, the Cheongseong disciples did not put away their swords.

“They are the ones who just watched the disciple die.”

They pointed their swords at the customers.

“You will all have to pay for that sin.”

Listening to their voices, intoxicated with victory.

Smirk.

The customers were smiling.

“……”

They were making faces as if they were displeased, but they were still somewhat perceptive.

A sense of unease that could be felt.

“Hey, you idiots!”

One of the customers, as if drunk, stood on a chair and shouted.

“Thanks to you, it looks like we’ll have a good show!”

“What are you talking about?”

“This place is…”

Thud!

The door of the bar was roughly opened again.

“Do you know whose business you’re messing with?”

Chuckling noises.

And the faces of the Cheongseong disciples turned pale as they looked at the people who had entered the bar.

You didn’t have to reveal their identities to know.

Goooh.

The killing intent and energy emanating from their bodies were telling what level they were at.

In the lawless zone, you need skills to do business.

Also.

“It’s been a while since there’s been a commotion.”

They needed a backer to support them.

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Cheongseong.”

Thud, thud.

A skinny man was walking.

The long hair made him look like a madman, and his two fists, which looked sturdy compared to his body, gave off a strange sense of intimidation.

“Hit…”

The Cheongseong disciples shouted.

“Hit them!”

The Cheongseong disciples rushed in.

Looking at them, who had completely covered the skinny man, one of the customers said.

“It’s been a while since we’ve seen Viper’s skills.”

Viper.

It was a name referring to one of the Five Kings who existed in the lawless zone.
