The Three Kings' Disciple (48)

The Three Kings’ Disciple (48)

047

‘Don’t let up on the sword energy!’

The Blue Wave Unit leader’s shout echoed across the dark beach.

Surging blue sword energies crashed towards Lee Ro-woon like a tidal wave.

Taat.

Lee Ro-woon evaded the sword energies.

Kwaang!

He sometimes shattered the focal point [axis of the formation], scattering the sword energies.

Peok!

One by one, he was taking down the Hainan martial artists.

What was a sword formation?

It was a secret technique of the martial world, created for the few to face the many, or for the many to face the strong few.

In other words, regardless of its purpose, a sword formation amplified the power of those who used it several times over.

The combined power was something that could never be handled alone.

‘N-No way…!’

Yet, weren’t they witnessing that impossible sight right now?

Lazy movements.

Movements that could never be called fast, no matter how you looked at them.

Yet, with those small movements, he was evading the sword energies, sometimes hiding in the waves, and sometimes riding the wave-like sword energies as if surfing.

Was he an absolute powerhouse?

That wasn’t the case either.

‘Just what…’

The level Lee Ro-woon was displaying was, at best, the peak of the Hwa-kyung realm [a high level of martial arts mastery], or, to put it plainly, the pinnacle of the transcendent realm.

He barely used his fist strength, breaking the sword formation with only his fist energy.

That was an understanding that far surpassed comprehension.

A martial art that transcended martial arts.

That’s why…

‘Ah… ah…’

It was fear.

The Hainan martial artist who formed the sword formation took a step back without realizing it.

‘What are you doing!’

That was something a swordsman forming a sword formation should never do.

Cracks began to appear in the surging waves of sword energy.

Jjeoeoong!

The waves broke even more easily.

This time, it wasn’t just the waves that broke.

‘The sword formation…’

‘It’s broken.’

The Blue Wave Unit’s Blue Wave Sword Formation had been shattered.

Eyes flickering with fear.

They were crushed, intimidated not by killing intent or realm, but by martial arts and its profound principles.

‘There’s no point in trying anymore.’

Lee Ro-woon also retreated.

As if he had lost interest, Lee Ro-woon stepped back, and the Silverwave Guild members who had been surrounding the Blue Wave Unit stepped forward.

‘I’ll leave it to you now, Guild Leader.’

At Lee Ro-woon’s words, Kang Eun-ha nodded.

The martial artists, whose very spirits had been shattered.

Dealing with them was too easy for Eun-ha, or rather, the Blood Cult’s elite.

Swish.

Seeing the approaching Silverwave martial artists, the Blue Wave Unit gripped their swords again, but it was too late.

Swoosh!

The martial artists in the front row began to be cut down.

***

‘……’

Do Cheon-hoo was staring blankly at the sandy beach.

The Hainan martial artists kneeling and collapsing.

In front of them, the Silverwave martial artists stood as if that was nothing special.

He couldn’t even tell if this was reality or not.

But what was most shocking was the guild member who had faced the Blue Wave Sword Formation alone.

-You guys are fake.

He felt like he knew why Goo Hyung-jin had said those words.

He had broken through and shattered the Blue Wave Sword Formation alone with the realm of Hwa-kyung.

That was possible because his martial arts and principles reached the distant heavens.

The shock was immense for Do Cheon-hoo, a martial artist.

The battle that seemed like it would be stained with Do Cheon’s blood ended with Hainan’s blood.

‘Not yet…’

At that moment, Do Cheon-hoo’s eyes widened as he shouted.

‘It’s not over yet!’

The person who came to Do Cheon-hoo’s mind.

‘The Hainan Elder is still left!’

Unless that monster was defeated, this battle would not end.

In the world of martial artists, an absolute master was like that.

Someone who could single-handedly turn the tide of the war, just like the martial artist who had faced the Blue Wave Sword Formation alone.

However, just as the Silverwave Guild member who had faced the Blue Wave Sword Formation alone was worthy of being called ‘real,’ Hainan’s Elder Goo Hyung-jin was also ‘real.’

Even if there was a real one in Silverwave, the realm felt was at best Hwa-kyung.

He would not be able to match Goo Hyung-jin, who had reached the realm of Hyun-kyung [a higher level of martial arts mastery].

‘We must capture him!’

Do Cheon-hoo shouted.

They had to capture him, who had disappeared somewhere, and end the fight.

‘Form a formation and prepare for him…’

He was about to tell them to be fully prepared for his return.

Sapak.

The sound of lightly stepping on the sand echoed.

His gaze turned involuntarily.

There, a blood-soaked figure stood, completely stained in red.

Swallow.

The martial artists swallowed their saliva without realizing it at the madness and fear emanating from that figure.

However, Eun-ha was different.

Smirk.

She curled up the corners of her mouth, making a welcoming face.

Thud.

A piece of blood-soaked cloth fell onto the sand with a thud.

‘That’s…!’

It was hard to confirm properly because it was soaked in blood, but it was definitely a piece of Hainan’s martial uniform.

Moreover, it was a piece of the special uniform worn by the Elder.

‘The Hainan Elder…’

With the sound of blood boiling, the blood-soaked figure, Do Mu-sung, opened his mouth.

‘He fled.’

Thud!

Silence descended on Gamchu Beach, where the battle had taken place, as if a boulder had fallen.

‘It was because I was lacking. I will train harder and not disappoint you.’

Do Mu-sung deliberately lowered his voice, conscious of Lee Ro-woon.

However, Do Cheon-hoo and Do Cheon’s reactions were completely different.

‘……’

They couldn’t close their mouths, which were wide open.

‘Goo Hyung-jin…, the Hainan Elder…’

He was the one who had treated Do Cheon-hoo like a child.

‘He fled…?’

Did he mean that he had single-handedly defeated him?

‘Lacking? Not disappoint?’

Was that even a plausible thing to say?

It felt like a thunderous shock was ringing in Do Cheon-hoo’s head.

It felt like the common sense and world he knew were changing.

‘You’ve done well.’

At the voice of the guild member who had faced the Blue Wave Sword Formation alone, the blood-soaked figure finally sat down.

Whether it was an unbelievable reality or something that defied common sense, one thing was certain.

The night raid.

The Hainan raid that had tried to erase Do Cheon.

The East Sea battle had ended.

* * *

The annihilation of the Blue Wave Unit.

The defeat of Goo Hyung-jin.

Hainan immediately withdrew its forces and left the East Sea.

‘Father!’

Do Sang-mok, who had been advancing from Gangneung, arrived at the East Sea, leading the remaining forces of Do Cheon, the forces of Cheon-in, and even the forces of the Hwangpae Guild, which controlled Gangwon-do.

‘You’ve worked hard! You’ve really worked hard!’

Do Sang-mok kept saying to Do Cheon-hoo, but Do Cheon-hoo’s expression was not good.

No, the entire Do Cheon Guild had similar faces.

‘You’ve worked hard to come here.’

The sense of emptiness from experiencing an unbelievable event.

They were feeling the emptiness of hitting a wall.

‘We have captured fifty Hainan martial artists who dared to target Do Cheon!’

Do Sang-mok boasted of his achievements like a child, but Do Cheon-hoo did not respond, deeply immersed in thought.

‘I’ve heard the news.’

Hwang Gi, the head of the Hwangpae Guild and Hwangpae Clan, approached Do Cheon-hoo and said.

‘I heard you annihilated the Hainan Blue Wave Unit and defeated the Elder.’

‘That’s…’

‘Isn’t that Do Cheon’s achievement?’

Hwang Gi had already heard about the Silverwave Guild’s exploits.

‘Silverwave is also ultimately under the protection of the Iron Sword Alliance, and moreover…’

Hwang Gi’s eyes gleamed.

‘I heard they are indebted to Do Cheon.’

‘……’

‘No matter how much you fly and soar, you cannot be independent in this world. Guild Leader Do, there’s no need to be too discouraged.’

After saying that, Hwang Gi began to deploy his martial artists and organize the situation.

‘Do Cheon…’

Do Cheon-hoo slowly opened his mouth.

‘Will withdraw from the East Sea.’

‘Ah, Father!’

Do Cheon-hoo’s eyes were regaining their light.

‘Hainan is not at a level we can handle.’

It wasn’t because of the powerlessness he felt from the Silverwave Guild.

It was the sense of defeat he felt from Hainan.

Do Cheon-hoo had been on the verge of death, struggling against just one Elder, not even the head of Hainan.

‘Perhaps, if it’s because of the Silverwave Guild…’

Do Sang-mok cautiously said to Do Cheon-hoo.

‘I will try to talk to them. Isn’t it as good as having the Silverwave Guild, which has done such great work, under Do Cheon’s command, as Guild Leader Hwang said?’

The two father and son were exchanging glances.

‘I will talk to them…’

‘You should.’

Do Cheon-hoo’s eyes were already shining brightly.

‘But it’s not something you should get involved in.’

‘Ah, Father.’

‘They are monsters.’

They were probably a mysterious sect that had been building up their power since the gate had opened late.

Their power was literally monstrous, not inferior to that of Hainan.

‘We must have them.’

‘That’s right.’

‘That’s not what I mean.’

At that moment, killing intent settled in Do Cheon-hoo’s eyes.

‘Do Cheon will withdraw. Under the pretext of recovering from the damage, we must move to Gyeonggi-do.’

The target was set.

‘Find out everything about Silverwave. Find the sect where Silverwave’s power is located, and search for Silverwave’s family members on Earth like you’re catching lice.’

Silverwave.

‘We will have Silverwave.’

If they could put a leash on those monsters and control them, they could achieve something that could not be compared to the East Sea.

‘Iron Sword Alliance.’

Hainan said they would erase the Iron Sword Alliance.

Having seen some of their power, he did not think that statement was empty.

The Iron Sword Alliance would surely not be able to defeat Hainan.

Or the Iron Sword Alliance would have to offer their flesh to survive.

What if Do Cheon had Silverwave under their control at that time?

‘The Iron Sword Alliance, no…’

Flash.

‘It will become the Do Cheon Alliance.’

If he were to give up everything with just one sense of defeat, Do Cheon-hoo would not have risen to this position.

Fake? Real?

What did it matter?

Just dominating.

That was the most important thing.

‘Let’s go.’

* * *

‘That’s right.’

‘Yes?’

Kang Eun-ha stopped her chopsticks at Lee Ro-woon’s words.

‘It’s better for an ant you’re about to crush to have a venomous look in its eyes than a sad one, right?’

It was a meaningless statement, but Kang Eun-ha seemed to understand, her eyes gleaming.

A raw fish restaurant in the East Sea port.

The Silverwave Guild members were gathered there.

Since Hainan had retreated and there was a temporary lull, the residents had resumed their businesses.

Even so, it had become a war zone, so there were no customers and only flies were buzzing around.

‘S-Service is on the house. If you need anything, please let us know anytime!’

In the midst of that, a group of customers had arrived, so the owner couldn’t help but be happy.

However, even so, the owner’s expression was not good.

‘Here, I’ll pay first.’

At Kang Eun-ha’s words, the owner’s face brightened.

‘Ah, you don’t have to do that… Thank you! Thank you!’

Martial artists.

It was common for them to ignore the commercial districts within their sphere of influence without even paying the proper price.

They often abused merchants who resisted, saying it was the price for protecting them from the threat of the gate.

It was forbidden to harm civilians in the Association, but how could the world work that way?

This was the current state of the world.

‘Today, eat and drink. If you’ve done well, you should rest and enjoy yourselves properly.’

At Lee Ro-woon’s words, the guild members, who had been sitting still, quickly began to move their chopsticks.

It was none other than the Blood Demon’s order.

‘It’s also forbidden to remove the alcohol poisoning with internal energy.’

‘Yes… Understood!’

Only then did the atmosphere loosen up a little.

The faint smiles on the faces of the Blood Cult members could not be hidden.

They had only been in the Blood King’s Castle all this time.

They had only built up their strength and had not been able to use it.

Now that they were finally seeing the light, it was only natural that they would be excited.

Tap.

Lee Ro-woon also placed a glass of soju [Korean distilled liquor] on the table and looked out at the sea.

Pitch-black darkness.

It seemed like he could see the light of a lighthouse in it.

‘Things will be different from tomorrow.’

Eun-ha had shown her strength.

There was a guild member who had single-handedly defeated Hainan’s Blue Wave Unit, and there was also a guild member who had single-handedly defeated Hainan’s Elder.

In modern society, this kind of information spreads in an instant.

Tomorrow?

‘No, is it already?’

Murmuring.

A commotion was rising in the distance.

Crash!

The sound of a fish tank being smashed.

‘No, are you saying we’re not even customers?’

The men in black suits roughly threw the restaurant owner aside.
