Chapter 62 Anyone who is willing to be a pirate and kill civilians will be put to death!

The entire Luotian Village.

The Japanese pirates were not large in size, with only twenty-six people.

After Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng tracked down the Japanese pirates, they suddenly took action and quickly eliminated a number of them.

In the dark night, the two men were like evil ghosts, reaping the lives of the Japanese pirates.

However, the Japanese pirates were not stupid. After hearing the screams of their companions and the noise caused by Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng killing the Japanese pirates, they knew that they had encountered a strong enemy.

Amid the shouting in incomprehensible Japanese language, fierce looks spontaneously gathered together.

They surrounded Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng and wanted to eliminate them.

There were about twenty Japanese pirates who gathered and surrounded the two men.

"Brother Dongfang, let's see who can kill these pirates first."

Chu Yuan shouted in the night.

"it is good!"

Dongfang Sheng responded.

He doesn't pretend anymore.

Directly use the "Sunflower Manual".

Every time he flicked his fingers and shot, an embroidery needle flew out of his hand.

Wherever the embroidery needle went, blood oozed from the brows and throats of the Japanese pirates, and they fell to the ground and died one by one.

Some Japanese pirates were shot in the eyes and let out shrill screams and howls in the night.

Chu Yuan used his lightness skills to pass through these Japanese pirates. Wherever he passed, the Japanese pirates were hit by his palm power.

The person who was hit by the palm flew a dozen feet away. He didn't even have time to scream and died after falling to the ground.

These dead Japanese pirates had no visible external injuries on their bodies except for vomiting blood.

In fact, the heart inside the body had already been torn into pieces.

They were all hit by Chu Yuan's "Heart-Destroying Palm".

The twenty-six Japanese pirates were basically killed by Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng in less than a moment.

Most of these Japanese pirates were dressed like ronin, with shaved heads and wooden clogs. They were armed with Japanese swords and knew some simple sword techniques.

The moves are ferocious and life-threatening, and it's obvious that it's Japanese swordsmanship.

More than a dozen ordinary people are no match for a Japanese pirate.

But Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng.

One is the leader of a demon cult, who practices the miraculous skill "Sunflower Manual".

A person with special abilities who can create his own martial arts.

They were all the top figures in the world, but they were met by this group of Japanese pirates.

Facing these two people, it was reasonable for these twenty-six Japanese pirates to be destroyed.

To deal with these Japanese pirates, Chu Yuan only needed to use the palm technique "Heart-Destroying Palm".

Neither "Nine Heavens Gang Qi" nor "Sky Escape Sword Technique" was used.

The same went for Dongfang Sheng. He just stood there and shot out embroidery needles, which gave the Japanese pirates a huge sense of oppression. He eliminated these pirates without even forcing him to use any special moves.

Finally, only one person was left.

Chu Yuan heard the sound of begging for mercy in his voice and knew from his clothes that he was not a pirate but a Ming Dynasty person, so he held back.

It just so happened that he also had some questions and wanted to ask the Japanese pirates.

"Brother Chu, it looks like I won."

Dongfang Sheng landed beside Chu Yuan. He glanced at the Ming Dynasty Japanese pirate who was kneeling in front of Chu Yuan, whom Chu Yuan had held back from killing.

"Brother Dongfang won. You killed thirteen, and I only killed twelve."

Chu Yuan doesn't care about the Tao.

Even though he held back.

"What's your name? Are you a citizen of the Ming Dynasty?"

Chu Yuan looked at the man kneeling in front of him, wearing a rough linen shirt and straw sandals, dressed like a coastal fisherman.

"My name is Chen Yi, and I am indeed a citizen of the Ming Dynasty."

Seeing that Chu Yuan did not kill him for the time being, the Japanese pirate breathed a sigh of relief and replied in Ming Mandarin with a Fuzhou accent.

The scenes of Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng’s attacks just now have scared these Japanese pirates out of their wits. They have never seen such strong people before. They are simply not human.

This is simply not something that mortals can match.

"Are there many people like you among the Japanese pirates?"

Chu Yuan asked Chen Yi.

He had heard a saying in his previous life.

Many of the Japanese pirates during the Ming Dynasty were civilians from coastal areas who took the opportunity to go out to sea and combined with some ronin samurai who could not make a living in their native Fuso to form the Japanese pirates.

The "Japanese pirates" who were active in the southeastern coastal areas during the middle Ming Dynasty were mainly composed of Ming civilians.

Many of them became "celebrities" in the history of Japanese pirates.

For example: Xu Hai, Wang Zhi, Mao Haifeng and so on.

"Quite a lot. A large portion of the Japanese pirates were Ming people."

Chen Yi answered cautiously.

"Please spare my life, Taoist Priest. I was originally a citizen of Fuzhou Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty. I have turned over a new leaf and made amends for my past sins..."

Chen Yi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Yuan for mercy.

Even though he was a Japanese pirate who had killed countless people, in front of masters like Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng who could easily take their lives and were so strong that they were not ordinary people, he could only be as fearful as ordinary people when facing them.

"Answer me one more question..."

Chu Yuan didn't say whether to spare Chen Yi or not, he continued to ask Chen Yi.

"You seem to be getting closer to Min County. Is your actual target Min County? Also, didn't you say you have more than a hundred people in total? Why are there only more than twenty people here?"

Chu Yuan asked Chen Yi.

Chen Yi really wanted to say that these were two different questions, not one question, but he didn't dare to.

He could only answer honestly: "Master, you have a keen eye. The leader did ask us to move closer to Min County and take the opportunity to attack Min County. As for the fact that there are only more than 20 people here, it is because we have divided our forces. This will attract the attention of the Ming government."

"Okay, I see."

Chu Yuan had a rough idea in his mind after hearing this, and then he suddenly made a move, using the "Heart-Destroying Palm" to slap the opponent on the head, sending Chen Yi, who looked unwilling, to death.

"As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I am willing to serve as a pirate. Anyone who kills the people will be killed!"

Chu Yuan said in a calm tone.

Chu Yuan felt that these Japanese pirates, who were originally Ming Dynasty civilians but teamed up with the Fuso ronin warriors to plunder the civilians, were even more hateful than the real Japanese pirates.

"Thank you two heroes for saving my life."

"Without those two, we would be dead tonight."

"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving a life."

Seeing Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng suddenly appear and kill more than twenty brutal Japanese pirates with ease, some of the surviving people in Luotian Village were still immersed in the grief of the death of their loved ones, distraught and unable to extricate themselves, while others had come to their senses, walked up to Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them to express their gratitude.

"No need to thank you."

"The Japanese pirates have been destroyed. Let's live well."

Chu Yuan said with a heavy heart.

Ordinary people already had a hard time living, and they were also slaughtered by the Japanese pirates. It was a disaster sent from heaven.

They arrived a little late, and hundreds of villagers were killed in Luotian Village.

Fortunately, they arrived in time, otherwise the remaining two or three hundred people in the village would all have died tonight.

After pacifying the villagers of Luotian Village, Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng left Luotian Village together.

"Brother Chu, since they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, why did they conspire with the ronin warriors to massacre our people of the Ming Dynasty?"

After leaving Luotian Village, the two walked on the country road under the night. Dongfang Sheng thought of the news Chu Yuan had just asked.

"I don't know, but these people may have already stopped considering themselves as citizens of the Ming Dynasty."

Chu Yuan shook his head.

People like Chen Yi may have many excuses before becoming pirates.

But when they swung their butcher knives at their fellow Ming people, they were no longer human beings.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, these people were even more hateful than the bandits and horse robbers he had encountered in the Qinling Mountains before.

"Are we going to Min County next?"

Dongfang Sheng asked again.

"Yes, the main force of the Japanese pirates in Min County has already headed for Min County. Their goal is to attack Min County. It should still be in time for us to go there now."

Chu Yuan said.

As they were talking, the two of them used their lightness skills in the dark and rushed to the county seat of Min County.

……

Min County seat.

County magistrate Cui Tai was awakened from his concubine's bed by his legal advisor Wang Zicheng. He put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out.

He was a little sleepy and confused, not yet fully awake.

However, after hearing the words of Wang Zicheng, the master holding a lantern, he was frightened and woke up instantly.

"What did you say? The Japanese pirates have invaded the county town?"

County Magistrate Cui Tai's expression changed drastically.

"Yes, that's the news I just got."

Wang Zicheng said with a serious expression.

"Where are the local soldiers? Aren't there local soldiers who take turns to patrol the city walls and gates at night?"

Cui Tai asked. It is well known that the Japanese pirates are brutal.

If this group of Japanese pirates really attacked the county seat of Min County.

Then the people of the entire Min County will suffer.

If the county seat of Min County was burned down by Japanese pirates, he, as the county magistrate, would be held responsible and might even lose his job.

"Sir, the Japanese pirates are cunning, and the city walls are low, so they can't defend against them at all. Taking advantage of the night, a group of Japanese pirates climbed up the city wall, did not alert the local soldiers, secretly opened the city gate, and let the main force of the Japanese pirates enter the city."

Master Wang Zicheng said.

"Immediately organize the local soldiers to counterattack. Aren't there a thousand local soldiers in the city?"

Cui Tai gave the order while putting on his clothes.

"Sir, it's too late. After the Japanese pirates entered the city, they immediately attacked the local soldiers. As you know, the local soldiers were useless and they were defeated and fled on the spot."

Master Wang Zicheng said with a bitter expression.

"Are there any soldiers available in the city?"

Cui Tai asked after he put on his clothes.

"No, there are no more soldiers available in the city."

Master Wang Zicheng said.

"It's over. God wants me to die."

Cui Tai was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"There is another piece of news, sir. The Japanese pirates are heading straight to the county government office. It seems that their target is you, the official in charge."

The lawyer Wang Zicheng then told Cui Tai another piece of news that made him even more devastated.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

Cui Tai was so frightened that he lost his mind and sat down on the ground.

"Sir, I came back to tell you the news because you have shown me kindness. Please take your wife and children and escape. I will also escape first."

After helping Cui Tai up from the ground, the lawyer Wang Zicheng took out a bag from somewhere and put it on his shoulder, then left with the lantern in his hand without looking back.

Only Cui Tai was left in the back hall of the yamen, along with his concubine who was also terrified after hearing what the lawyer said.

"Master, the Japanese pirates are coming soon, what should we do?"

The concubine was so frightened that she burst into tears and ran out of the house wearing only her bellyband.

"As a county official, I shouldn't flee alone when the people are suffering. You are just my concubine. Run for your life. You may still be able to escape if you leave now."

After the initial panic, Cui Tai gradually calmed down and regained his composure as a county magistrate. He said to the pretty concubine.

After saying this, Cui Tai walked out of the backyard in the dark and went to the front yard of the county government office.

The courtroom, where cases were usually heard, was now pitch black and empty. One could only see the furnishings inside through the little moonlight shining in through the cracks in the windows.

Cui Tai found a tinder and lit a candle, adding a little light here.

Cui Tai sat on the armchair, holding a sword, waiting silently.

Even if this sword cannot kill the enemy, it can be used to commit suicide.

It's not that he doesn't want to escape.

But you can't escape.

He is not an ordinary citizen, but a county official.

If he escaped, even if he didn't die, the court would dismiss him from office.

He started to study at the age of five, and passed the Tongshi, Xiangshi, Huishi, and Palace Examinations...

At the age of 31, he passed the imperial examination and became the magistrate of Min County.

He was unwilling to give up his official career and escape for his life, and he decided it would be better to end it all and die.

While waiting for death, he felt that time was passing extremely slowly.

He didn't know how long it had been, but he heard noisy footsteps outside the county government office, as well as some whispers that were clearly different from the official language of the Ming Dynasty and were spoken in the Japanese dialect.

"finally coming?"

Realizing that the Japanese pirates were coming, Cui Tai's heart sank into the abyss.

Just as Cui Tai was waiting for the Japanese pirates to rush into the county government office and take his life, a series of screams suddenly came from outside.

"What's going on? Are there any reinforcements?"

Cui Tai looked puzzled.

"impossible!"

"The Japanese pirates are brutal and brave. Even a thousand imperial guards are no match for these one hundred or so Japanese pirates!"

"But the Japanese pirates have been rampant recently, and the counties of Fuzhou are short of manpower. Fuzhou's Zhendong Guard has been guarding the city, so where can the guards come from to support Min County?"

Cui Tai later denied his speculation.

I could hear the screams of the Japanese pirates speaking Japanese language.

Cui Tai couldn't resist his curiosity any more. He went to the yard with a sword in his hand, opened the gate of the county government office a crack, and looked out.

This look...

Cui Tai was shocked immediately!
Because on the street in front of the county government office, there were more than a hundred Japanese pirates, most of whom were wearing kimonos, wooden clogs, had shaved heads, and were holding Japanese swords, who were besieging two figures.

These two figures, one blue and one red.

These Japanese pirates, who had originally made the imperial court helpless and slaughtered countless civilians along the coast, now fell down in large numbers like clay in front of these two figures.

The red figure among them was wearing a red dress. She looked like a beautiful woman with unparalleled temperament.

She made a flower-picking gesture with her fingers, and every time she flicked her fingers, two or three silver lights shot out.

Two or three Japanese pirates fell down.

The other figure was a handsome young Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe. He had an elegant temperament and was holding a Japanese sword, which seemed to have been taken from the Japanese pirates.

The Japanese sword in his hands was as fast as lightning and had a unique beauty. He himself could not even tell how he swung the sword.

But every time he attacked, a Japanese pirate would fall to the ground and die.

If you look closely, you will see that the fallen Japanese pirates were stabbed in weak spots such as the throat, forehead, and heart.

His free left hand would occasionally swing out a palm.

The Japanese pirates who were hit would be like being hit by a carriage, flying nearly ten feet away, and would have no chance of survival after falling to the ground.

There were clearly more than a hundred Japanese pirates besieging the two figures.

But after watching for a long time, Cui Tai felt that it seemed like these two people were chasing and killing more than a hundred Japanese pirates.

"Outside the temple, it is said that there is a martial arts world."

"These two should be the heroes in the martial arts world!"

"But can one still be considered a mortal if he can practice martial arts to this level?"

Cui Tai felt emotional.

More than a hundred brutal Japanese pirates were chased and killed by the two men.

Cui Tai even saw two Japanese pirates circling behind him, then secretly drawing their swords and trying to attack the young Taoist from behind.

Seeing that the two Japanese pirates were about to succeed, the Japanese sword was only two feet away from the back of the young Taoist priest in an instant.

Cui Tai couldn't even hold back and wanted to shout to warn the Taoist priest.

As a result, the two Japanese pirates' swords stopped one foot and five inches away from Chu Yuan's back.

It was as if there was an invisible force blocking the pirates' swords, preventing the blades from moving forward any further.

Then Chu Yuan turned around and hit the two Japanese pirates on the chest with two consecutive palms.

The two Japanese pirates flew backwards and fell to the ground and died.

"Invulnerable..."

Cui Tai almost felt that he was going numb.

The Japanese swords of the Japanese pirates could not penetrate at all. Can such people really be killed?

As Cui Tai looked on in astonishment, the number of Japanese pirates on the street in front of the county government office became fewer and fewer.

In the end, there was only one pirate left. He was the leader of the pirates and was dressed differently from ordinary pirates.

He wore a black loose cross-collared top and a wide-legged skirt with a chrysanthemum decoration on the chest, a belt tied in front of the chest, and a samurai sword slung around his waist.

Just now, when Chu Yuan and Dongfang Sheng were fighting with other Japanese pirates, the other side did not take action. Instead, they stood by and observed the two of them intently, as if looking for their flaws.

However, the more he looked at this person, the more solemn his expression became. In the end, he even had cold sweat on his forehead.

He felt that these two were the strongest enemies he had ever seen in his life.

Even Iishino Rukawa, the head of the Katori Shinto-ryu clan, is probably no match for any of these two.

Finally, when the river of blood and corpses were everywhere in front of the county government, and all the Japanese pirates were killed, this man had no choice but to draw his Japanese sword.

He knew that if he didn't take action now, he would never have another chance.

"Nakajo Motohide... meets... two sword masters. It is an honor for a swordsman to be able to fight... with... two sword masters."

This Japanese pirate named Nakajo Motohide spoke in poor Ming official language as he attacked.

He was extremely fast and arrived in front of Chu Yuan in the blink of an eye, then drew his sword and slashed at Chu Yuan.

The sharp sword energy cut the bluestone slab on the street in front of the county government office in half and instantly arrived in front of Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan was not in a hurry. He used the Japanese sword in his hand, using the sword instead of the knife. He used a move of soft sword from the "Tian Dao Sword Technique" to turn the sword energy into invisible, and then stabbed out with the quick sword.

Chu Yuan had already retracted his Japanese sword, but the Japanese pirate named Nakajo Motohide was still standing there motionless.

Then a knife wound appeared on his throat, which kept expanding and blood gushed out.

thump!
Nakajo Motohide's body fell to the ground.

"What did he just say?"

After killing the last Japanese pirate, Chu Yuan turned and asked Dongfang Sheng.
