From my experience watching anime, senpai would be more appropriate in Japanese though that translates to senior. I don't know what the equivalent is in Korean in settings like these although I used to watch k-dramas too. However I do know that males use hyung for older brother while oppa is used by females although both mean the same.
Akira shyly smiled. "Thanks, brother."

It's not just chinese cultivation novels which use (martial) brother.I used to read manhwa (Korean comics) and use of the term brother (hyung) in gangs is part of gang culture.
"You'll know when I get there, brother," he smiled. "I'll make sure that you'll definitely know."
