Disciple of The Three Kings [EN]: Chapter 347

Slam!

The waves that had been crashing fiercely.

Swaaa.

They soon subsided and began to calm.

“…….”

A silence descended.

The blue waves that had filled the vision, the blue flames, everything was fading away.

The only sounds that could be heard were rough breaths.

“Haa. Haa….”

Those of Oh Jin-kyung, exhausted.

“Haa….”

And the breaths of Cho San, exhaled as if burning.

Everyone was looking at the two of them.

Swoosh.

At that moment, Cho San’s hand began to rise.

The hand holding the Great Ocean Azure Sword, Cho San seemed as if he was about to attack Oh Jin-kyung once more.

Thud!

The Great Ocean Azure Sword was aimed not at Oh Jin-kyung, but at Cho San’s own chest.

The martial artists of Hainan were bewildered by his sudden action.

However, Oh Jin-kyung, the Sea King’s Guard, and Lee Rowoon, among others, simply watched the scene calmly.

“I….”

Cho San’s mouth opened.

He, who had been subdued by the demonic spirit, losing his reason and rampaging like a beast.

“I’ve shown an unsightly appearance.”

The words coming from his mouth now were his normal voice.

“Thank you, Jin-kyung.”

The eyes, distorted with blue light.

However, light was seeping into those eyes that had only been burning without depth.

“Huiguangfanzhao [a Buddhist term referring to a dying person’s brief moment of clarity].”

Lee Rowoon’s words revealed Cho San’s condition.

The fight between Oh Jin-kyung and Cho San had reached its conclusion.

The two had fought with the power of a Divine Demon.

The demonic spirit and the Sea King’s power, the victor was the Sea King.

Cho San, who had abandoned Hainan and become mixed up, ultimately failed to defeat Oh Jin-kyung, who could be said to be Hainan itself.

As a result, the demonic spirit that had taken root in his body was destroyed, and his dantian [energy center in the body] was being torn apart.

Death.

Cho San was dying.

At the end of his life, Cho San regained his senses.

“Sect Leader.”

Looking at Cho San now, Oh Jin-kyung treated him as he always had.

“I apologize to my seniors as well.”

Cho San, scattering his hair that was turning white, also made a fist and palm salute towards the Sea King’s Guard.

“To all of you as well.”

Thud.

Cho San even made a fist and palm salute towards the martial artists of Hainan.

Towards him, Oh Jin-kyung slowly took a step forward.

No words were needed.

They knew each other, and they could understand each other’s intentions.

Thud.

Oh Jin-kyung stood in front of Cho San, who had plunged the Great Ocean Azure Sword into his chest.

Cho San was dying even at this moment.

Losing the youth he had regained in an instant, the inner force that had filled his body was now escaping and scattering.

Slam.

The waves that had calmed were crashing again.

“Jin-kyung.”

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Cho San spoke, looking at Oh Jin-kyung standing before him.

“Now, you are the Sect Leader of Hainan.”

A smile formed on Cho San’s lips.

Before Lee Tae-kyum was born, Cho San had practically raised Oh Jin-kyung.

Cho San had protected and grown Hainan, watching Oh Jin-kyung’s growth.

After Lee Tae-kyum was born, that attention had decreased, but to Cho San.

‘You are also my child.’

Oh Jin-kyung was also a child he could not abandon.

The excessive greed and desire were only after he had touched the demonic spirit, and Cho San had changed due to the pressure that weighed on his chest.

To Cho San, Oh Jin-kyung was.

“You are….”

Fwoosh.

Cho San’s body was scattering.

“Hainan.”

Hainan that Cho San had protected and grown, and Oh Jin-kyung who had grown with it.

To Cho San, the two were the same.

Now, Cho San was acknowledging and telling that fact.

“I know, Sect Leader.”

Oh Jin-kyung replied.

Smile.

Cho San’s smile returned once more.

Fwoosh!

Cho San was scattering and disappearing even at that moment.

Clench.

Oh Jin-kyung’s hand, which had reached out, grabbed the Great Ocean Azure Sword that was lodged in Cho San’s chest.

At that moment.

Clench!

Cho San’s hand wrapped around Oh Jin-kyung’s hand.

“……!”

They had thought he had regained his senses, but the Sea King’s Guard was bewildered by the sudden action and tried to move.

“It’s not that.”

They stopped at Lee Rowoon’s words.

“All disciples of Hainan, listen-!”

Cho San shouted.

“As the Sect Leader of Hainan, I have committed an unforgivable act! Therefore, I hereby expel myself from Hainan and relinquish my position as Sect Leader-!”

The resounding voice echoed like a wave.

“Although I am an unqualified Sect Leader, I will appoint the next Sect Leader! The Great Ocean Sword, Oh Jin-kyung….”

No, that’s not it.

“The Sea King, Oh Jin-kyung, will be the Sect Leader who will lead Hainan from now on-!”

The speed at which he was scattering was accelerating as he shouted with all his inner force.

“Although I have ruined Hainan with my own hands….”

Cho San’s resentful voice flowed out.

“Do not forget who was behind it all.”

The root of all the incidents.

“Mount Hua.”

Oh Jin-kyung’s voice flowed out.

Nod.

Cho San nodded his head.

“They are the ones who think of Hainan as nothing more than a plaything. Although I was manipulated by their hands, can you, Jin-kyung, not be?”

To Cho San’s question.

“I will not.”

Oh Jin-kyung said in a firm voice.

Smile.

A smile spread across Cho San’s lips again.

“Thank you once more.”

That was the end.

The two who wanted to share many stories, they could talk all night for days if they wanted to.

Just as Cho San thought of Oh Jin-kyung as his child, Oh Jin-kyung also thought of Cho San as his father.

Fwoosh!

Scattering away.

No one made a fist and palm salute while looking at such Cho San.

The last respect.

Such a thing….

“Mount Hua….”

It was appropriate to do it after the revenge was over.

* * *

The Sect Leader of Hainan had changed.

In a way, it could be said to be a throne usurped by force, but in the end, Cho San himself had directly acknowledged Oh Jin-kyung.

-From now on, the Sect Leader of Hainan is Oh Jin-kyung.

Furthermore, the Sea King’s Guard, who were the Supreme Elders and could be said to be the elders of Hainan, directly stepped forward and acknowledged and supported Oh Jin-kyung.

No, even if that wasn’t the case, Hainan would have acknowledged Oh Jin-kyung.

Oh Jin-kyung, who was originally a respected martial artist.

There were many who thought that the next Sect Leader of Hainan would be Oh Jin-kyung, not Lee Tae-kyum.

Not only that, but Oh Jin-kyung had proven it himself.

-Sea King.

The power he had shown against Cho San.

The stances, sword strikes, sword techniques, and sword paths he had used at that time.

All of it was from Hainan, which they had learned and mastered.

-You are Hainan.

Just like Cho San’s words, everyone acknowledged that he was Hainan itself.

Hainan, which should have been sinking into grief due to the defeat in the war with Eunha.

The death of the Sect Leader.

“Bind them-!”

Was burning with fire.

“What are you all doing-!”

“Did you think we didn’t know that you were colluding with Mount Hua?”

The Sea King’s Castle was in an uproar.

“Aren’t you ashamed as disciples of Hainan!”

“Bullshit!”

“There is evidence.”

What Oh Jin-kyung started doing as soon as he became the Sect Leader.

He was moving the military force to subdue and capture the disciples.

These were.

“Damn it!”

Those who had actually sold out Hainan or were colluding with Mount Hua and others.

The former Sect Leader, Cho San, had been aware of them, but had left them alone.

However, Oh Jin-kyung was not.

“You will be locked in the prison for the rest of your lives. Be grateful.”

The swords were pouring down.

“Because the current Sect Leader does not wish to stain his hands with the blood of disciples any longer.”

He had begun to cut away the rotten parts of Hainan.

With that, the atmosphere of Hainan was changing.

Instead of becoming a wreck due to the feeling of defeat, they had found a place to vent their anger.

Not only that.

‘Hainan.’

Through the Hainan that Oh Jin-kyung had shown, they were realizing that they were not losers.

At that time, a small number of people had gathered in the Sect Leader’s hall of the Sea King’s Castle, which had been hastily repaired.

“……….”

They were the ones standing in front of the chair, like a throne, that Cho San had used.

At the forefront.

Whoosh.

Oh Jin-kyung was standing there, holding the Great Ocean Azure Sword.

Clench.

The Great Ocean Azure Sword, which was wrapped around his hand, felt like a limb to Oh Jin-kyung.

It was indeed an object that could be called the divine artifact of Hainan and the symbol of the Sect Leader.

Also, it was….

-The dragon bone of the Sea Martial Emperor.

It could be said to be a dragon bone sword made from the bones of the Sea Martial Emperor, who was the divine being and guardian of Hainan.

Oh Jin-kyung, who contained the Sea Martial Emperor.

Therefore, Oh Jin-kyung and the Great Ocean Azure Sword could be said to be truly one and the same.

Swoosh.

The Great Ocean Azure Sword fell down, drawing a sword path as if flowing.

Crash!

The Sect Leader’s seat exploded and scattered.

“Hainan does not need such a thing.”

Oh Jin-kyung said, having broken it.

Since that thing had been created, Hainan had transformed into a kingdom.

A sect that should have been honing martial arts and cultivating the mind had become steeped in power and greed, dividing power and positions among themselves.

That should not be the case.

“That is a correct thought.”

Pa Tae-gu stood there, pleased with the sight.

“Hainan will change.”

What Oh Jin-kyung had been aiming for.

“To do that….”

He turned around.

And quietly made a fist and palm salute.

“We must settle the old debts that Hainan has.”

The things that had been piling up.

There was a need to correct the things that had been ignored.

“Sea King, Oh Jin-kyung.”

The newly acquired power and title.

“My lord, I greet the Divine Demon.”

With that, Oh Jin-kyung bowed his head to Lee Rowoon again.

Pa Tae-gu and the Sea King’s Guard were also watching the scene.

Thud!

They also made a fist and palm salute towards Lee Rowoon.

Oh Jin-kyung had become the true Sect Leader of Hainan through the Sea Martial Emperor.

They had seen the power he had inherited, and the fact that he had received that power meant that Hainan’s will had chosen Oh Jin-kyung.

Also, a secret and a legendary story.

-Divine Demon.

For those who knew that story.

“The Sea King’s Guard of Hainan, we greet the Divine Demon.”

They could not help but acknowledge Lee Rowoon.

“I look forward to working with you.”

Lee Rowoon also accepted their greetings.

Lee Rowoon’s languid eyes.

Those eyes gradually became narrow.

“One month.”

Lee Rowoon’s mouth opened.

“Is that enough time to stabilize Hainan and prepare it?”

He asked.

“It is enough.”

To that, Oh Jin-kyung replied confidently.

If he had not inherited the position of Sect Leader in this way, a month would have been far too short.

But now it was different.

Now that everyone was moving with one heart, they could restore Hainan to some extent in a month.

“Then, in one month.”

Lee Rowoon said.

“We will strike Mount Hua.”

It was finally time to put an end to another matter, following Kwon Cheol.

* * *

“It’s no different from a pleasure district.”

A young man with a deepness that seemed to draw one in, rather than being called handsome, said with a grin.

Whoosh.

The shadows that appeared behind him nodded their heads.

“It is extremely vulgar.”

The street they were walking on was Busan, which could be called the base of Hainan.

The lights that were on day and night.

The drunken streets and the drunks.

“Die!”

Fights breaking out here and there.

“Come over here.”

Even squabbles.

Most of it was enough to make one frown.

The original Busan was not like this.

Hainan had made it this way.

To collect more taxes, they had left the streets to degenerate.

“But this scene will soon be over.”

He had heard the story.

The Sect Leader of Hainan had changed.

“Oh Jin-kyung….”

If the Great Ocean Sword, that person, had become the Sect Leader, then Busan and Hainan would change.

So….

Smile.

“Shall I say hello after a long time?”

Red Plum Blossom, Cheong In-woo, was walking the streets of Busan.
