Chapter 64: Sword Enlightenment in Battlefield
Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai stood up and looked at the group of Japanese pirates lined up in a long queue on the beach below the cliff.

As the Japanese pirates walked out of the woods, the team became clear.

According to Chu Yuan's eyesight, he could clearly see that there were other people in the team besides the Japanese pirates holding Japanese swords.

There were also more than a dozen young women in their twenties or thirties, wearing cloth clothes and straw hairpins, looking decent, with their hands bound, tied together...
It seemed that they were Japanese pirates. After looting the surrounding villages and towns, they kidnapped the young woman and were about to take her away.

Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai looked at each other, then took a step forward, jumped off the cliff together, and landed on the beach.

The cliff is about twelve meters away from the beach.

This was no problem for Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai. They jumped down from the cliff like a roc.

"Enemy attack!"

Dongfang Bubai was dressed in red, which made him very conspicuous in the dark night.

When the two were still two or three feet away and about to land, they were discovered by the Japanese pirates, and one of them shouted.

Suddenly all the Japanese pirates became riotous.

Among them were many Japanese pirates who spoke Ming official language with local accents and also shouted.

"Shoot them down with the plum darts."

After a period of panic, the leader of the Japanese pirates quickly gave orders.

The Japanese pirates who were close to the two men immediately took out a plum blossom dart each and shot it at Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai who were still in the air.

Dongfang Bubai grabbed the plum blossom darts flying in front of him with both hands, just like catching the moon in the water, and caught all the plum blossom darts shot at him by the Japanese pirates in his hands.

Then he turned in the air and used his inner strength to throw all the plum blossom darts in his hand to the Japanese pirates on the ground.

Some of these Japanese pirates reacted in time and knocked the plum blossom darts to the ground with their Japanese swords. When the plum blossom darts and the Japanese swords collided, a string of sparks flew.

Some Japanese pirates had no time to react and were hit by these plum blossom darts. They fell to the ground screaming and lost their lives.

It seems that the plum blossom dart is coated with a deadly poison.

Otherwise, some Japanese pirates who were not shot in vital parts would not have fallen down with painful expressions and screams.

Seeing the Japanese pirates on the ground shooting hidden weapons at them, Chu Yuan directly activated his innate energy in the air.

A protective shield of Qi formed around his body.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The hidden weapons of the Japanese pirates, when shot under his protective energy shield, made crisp sounds just like hitting pig iron.

But in just a moment, Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai had successfully landed on the beach.

"Where did this expert come from!"

The leader of the Japanese pirates, Wang Mingdao, hid in the pirate group. When he saw Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai falling from the sky, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He had long hair tied into a Ming Dynasty bun with a cloth strip, wore a gray cloth robe, had a sallow complexion, was not tall, and looked like a poor scholar.

In fact, Wang Mingdao was not a Japanese. He was actually from Putian County, Xinghua Prefecture, Ming Dynasty.

He loved to be brave and aggressive since childhood. When he was fifteen, his family had a conflict with his neighbors over field boundaries. In a rage, Wang Mingdao went to the neighbor's house and beat the neighbor's husband to death. He left his hometown, fled to the sea, and became a Japanese pirate.

After gathering some ronin warriors, he gained support from powerful forces and even became the leader of the Japanese pirates.

As the leader of a group of Japanese pirates, Wang Mingdao had seen the world in his early years and met some martial arts masters.

However, he had never seen masters as powerful as the two in front of him.

He jumped down from a cliff more than ten meters high and landed safely without any injury.

One of them could catch hidden weapons with his bare hands, causing heavy casualties to these Japanese pirates.

There seemed to be an invisible air wall around the body that could block these hidden weapons.

"Everyone spread out, surround them, and deal with them carefully."

Wang Mingdao gave the order calmly.

Although these two people are very skilled in martial arts.

But as long as they are human, they have flesh and blood, and no matter how powerful the martial arts are, there is always a way to kill them.

They, the Japanese pirates, lived on the sea, experienced too many life and death situations, and walked on the edge of a knife, and also met many strong men.

There have always been many Fuso warriors and Ming warriors who were surrounded and killed.

No matter how powerful the martial artists and Fuso warriors are, they cannot defeat a hundred enemies alone.

And the number of Japanese pirates here is as many as 360.

……

Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai landed safely from the cliff.

Chu Yuan used the "Heart-Destroying Palm" to hit the chest of the Japanese pirate closest to him, and took the opportunity of the moment when the pirate's body fell to the ground to grab the pirate's Japanese sword.

To deal with so many Japanese pirates, it is better to have weapons in hand, which will save more energy.

The only flaw was that the Japanese sword was not as easy to use as a sword, and he was not used to it.

But in this situation, it would be nice to have a weapon in hand.

At the same time Chu Yuan grabbed the Japanese sword, five Japanese swords appeared around him and slashed towards Chu Yuan at the same time, blocking all of Chu Yuan's retreat routes.

Chu Yuan controlled the sword with his Qi and used the Qingcheng School's "Qingfeng Sword Technique".

A 13-foot-long sword energy swept across, and three of the five Japanese pirates flew backwards. The Japanese swords in their hands broke, and there was a straight knife wound on their chest. Blood spurted out, and it was obvious that they would not live long.

The other two Japanese pirates retreated quickly and looked at Chu Yuan vigilantly.

It is obvious that the swordsmanship of these two Japanese pirates is much better than that of the other three.

After the three Japanese pirates were killed, more Japanese pirates immediately came to replace them and continued to encircle and suppress Chu Yuan.

The Japanese pirates were brutal and cruel, and the death of their companions did not affect them at all.

This is also one of the reasons why the imperial court officials and soldiers were no match for the Japanese pirates in equal numbers.

While dealing with the Japanese pirates, Chu Yuan was distracted and glanced at Dongfang Bubai next to him.

Dongfang Bubai just snapped his fingers and several embroidery needles flew out. There were red threads attached to the back of the needles, one end of which extended into Dongfang Bubai's sleeve and the other end was connected to the embroidery needle.

At this point, the embroidery needle is no longer an ordinary hidden weapon, but has become Dongfang Bubai's unique weapon.

Chu Yuan even saw the embroidery needle flying out. After being dodged by the Japanese pirate, it turned a corner and flew back, and the red thread wrapped around the neck of the Japanese pirate.

In a moment, the red thread was wrapped around the Japanese pirate's neck two or three times.

Then Dongfang Bubai exerted force, and amid the shrill screams of the Japanese pirate, the red line was like a sharp blade...

The Japanese pirate's head flew out along with a gushing blood.

"It seems that Sister Dongfang has not been idle during this period. She has already practiced the Sunflower Manual to a certain level."

Chu Yuan sighed.

When he met Dongfang Bubai on Mount Hua, although Dongfang Bubai had practiced the "Sunflower Manual", his practice should not be very deep.

At this time, Dongfang Bubai already had some of the invincible style in the original novel when he was surrounded by four masters at the Black Wood Cliff.

Being distracted during a fight is a big taboo, especially when facing hundreds of Japanese pirates.

After Chu Yuan paid attention to the situation on Dongfang Bubai's side, he shifted his attention back to himself and fought the Japanese pirates in front of him with all his strength.

At the beginning, Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai fought very happily. Surrounded by more than 300 Japanese pirates, they were completely invincible and it was like they were in an empty land.

However, as time went by, the internal energy of the two was quickly consumed, and finally the speed of killing the Japanese pirates began to slow down.

Even Chu Yuan didn't even use his innate energy anymore.

Because of the innate internal energy, it is very refreshing to use and is invulnerable to swords and guns, giving a feeling of invincibility.

But it just consumes too much internal energy.

After releasing the innate internal energy for a while, Chu Yuan was able to kill more than ten Japanese pirates.

Wang Mingdao stood by and watched and directed the battle. The expression on his face changed from the initial confidence to surprise and indecision.

Finally, it became gloomy and even fearful.

I was thinking whether I should take the remaining Japanese pirates and escape temporarily.

Because these two people are not human at all.

Before they knew it, the beach was filled with the bodies of their men, and the blood had even flowed to the seashore, dyeing a large area of ​​the water red.

A rough count showed that at least two hundred Japanese pirates, or more than half of the army, died at the hands of these two men.

However, he soon discovered that the speed at which these two people were killing had gradually slowed down.

Moreover, small wounds had begun to appear on their bodies.

"Everyone, work harder. The two of them are in trouble. As long as we work together, we can definitely kill them."

Wang Mingdao was delighted when he saw this scene, and he continued to give orders.

"Shut up!" Upon hearing Wang Mingdao's voice, Chu Yuan swung the Japanese sword in his hand, which turned into a silver light and flew towards Wang Mingdao three feet away.

Although Wang Mingdao had some martial arts skills, his skills were not very high.

So this Japanese sword hit Wang Mingdao right in the chest.

The tremendous force knocked down Wang Mingdao's body and several Japanese pirates behind him.

When the Japanese pirates stood up again, they saw that their leader was spitting blood from his mouth, his eyes were wide open, and he was obviously dying.

"Good people of the Ming Dynasty should not become pirates."

Chu Yuan snorted coldly when he saw this scene.

The guy's several commands just now allowed him to observe the opponent's position.

There are fewer Japanese pirates now, so it's a good opportunity to get rid of them.

"The leader is dead!"

Seeing their leader dead, some Japanese pirates shouted.

"He killed the leader. Whoever avenges the leader will become the new leader!"

After a slight panic, someone among the Japanese pirates quickly shouted.

This sentence was like stirring up a hornet's nest, and it also gave the Japanese pirates the courage to fight on.

Originally, many Japanese pirates had developed the urge to escape because of the strength of Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai.

But as they shouted this, their eyes turned red and they once again joined the battle to encircle the two men.

Moreover, most of the Japanese pirates were targeting Chu Yuan.

Even the Japanese pirates who were originally besieging Dongfang Bubai changed direction and joined the battle to besiege Chu Yuan.

"Come!"

Chu Yuan used the power of "Heart-Destroying Palm" to kill a Japanese pirate and snatched a Japanese sword from him. He was not afraid and faced the enemy calmly.

Without opening the innate internal energy, coupled with the continuous fighting, his internal energy was severely depleted.

This made Chu Yuan feel like he had reached his limit.

He simply killed the enemy with sword techniques only.

Whether it is the Qingcheng Sect's "Qingfeng Sword Technique" and "Songfeng Sword Technique", or the "Mie Extermination Sword Technique", "Liuyun Sword Technique" and "Liuxu Sword Technique" that he helped the Emei Sect to repair, as well as the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sects on the Huashan Cliff, and his own "Tiandun Sword Technique".

Among these sword techniques, he would use whichever move was useful in killing the enemy, or which move could consume the least amount of his physical and internal strength.

After repeated training, he was finally able to master all these sword techniques with ease.

Unknowingly, his understanding of swordsmanship had reached a new level.

Chu Yuan integrated all these insights into his own "Tiandun Sword Technique".

The original "Tiandun Sword Technique" was created by Chu Yuan by integrating sword techniques from various schools and relying on his own ability to enter dreams.

But after all, it was too formulaic and the understanding of swordsmanship was not enough.

The sword is meant to kill!

Only when you kill the enemy can you truly understand the swordsmanship.

After integrating these insights into the "Tiandun Sword Technique", Chu Yuan felt that his "Tiandun Sword Technique" had undergone a qualitative improvement.

……

I don’t know when.

The wounds on Chu Yuan's body continued to increase.

Three, four...

By the time Chu Yuan had as many as twelve wounds on his body, his blue Taoist robe had been mostly stained red with blood, and there were no living Japanese pirates around him.

under the moonlight.

The bodies of more than 300 Japanese pirates were stained with a light silver color.

Beach and sea...

It was also stained red with blood.

There were also those young women who were robbed by the Japanese pirates and had their hands tied. They were so scared that their faces turned pale when they saw Chu Yuan, Dongfang Bubai fighting with the Japanese pirates.

There were also Japanese pirates just now. Seeing that they were no match for Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai, they wanted to use the young women from the surrounding villages and towns to threaten the two of them, but they were killed by Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai in advance.

"Are you okay?"

Dongfang Bubai walked over and looked at Chu Yuan, who was still holding the Japanese sword, with the blade stuck in the beach, supporting his body, and looked a little shaky.

"It's okay, I just ran out of energy and lost my strength."

Chu Yuan replied.

He only looks like he has many wounds on his body, but they are actually just minor ones.

He looked at Dongfang Bubai in front of him and found that Dongfang Bubai was similar to him.

The red clothes he wore were covered with many wounds caused by the Japanese swords used by the Japanese pirates. There were at least seven or eight scars on his chest and back.

Fortunately, like Chu Yuan, he suffered minor injuries.

Just now when Chu Yuan was besieged by Japanese pirates, Dongfang Bubai used embroidery needles to support Chu Yuan, otherwise Chu Yuan would have more than just these wounds.

"let's go!"

Chu Yuan saw that the Japanese pirates had been killed and said while shaking his body.

"What should they do?"

Dongfang Bubai looked at the group of shivering young women from the villages and towns nearby.

"Let them go."

Chu Yuan stood up and walked over to the group of young women.

call out!
The sword flashed.

He swung his knife and cut the ropes that bound the young women's hands.

These young women were previously tied together.

Otherwise, when Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai were killing these Japanese pirates, they should have taken the opportunity to escape.

Chu Yuan swung his knife continuously, cutting off all the ropes on the young women's hands.

"You are saved, let's go."

After doing all this, Chu Yuan said to the group of young women.

While this group of young women were still in a daze, Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai had already turned around and left.

"Thank you very much, benefactor!"

It was not until Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai walked away that someone among the group of young women came to their senses and called out with a look of gratitude.

Then this group of young women from the surrounding villages and towns, supporting each other, left the beach one after another.

……

Shortly after everyone left the beach.

A middle-aged general wearing armor, riding a black horse, with a sturdy build and a short beard.

He led five hundred guards wearing blue cloth armor to the beach.

When he saw the beach full of corpses, his face suddenly changed and he immediately ordered his soldiers to go forward and check.

"Your Excellency, these are the bodies of Japanese pirates. The bodies of the three hundred Japanese pirates from Changle County are all here. They were killed."

After checking, the guards under his command came to report to the general with surprise and joy in their eyes.

The general's name was Wu Dongbo, and he was the governor of Zhendongweili in the neighboring county.

"Who on earth did this? How could this group of Japanese pirates be eliminated so quietly?"

Wu Dongbo could not hide the surprise in his eyes.

These days, under the orders of Commander Wei, he has been investigating the movements of these Japanese pirates and keeping an eye on their whereabouts.

After finding out the location and patterns of this group of Japanese pirates' activities, we waited for the commander to return from Fuzhou City and then inflicted a heavy blow on them in one fell swoop.

Who knew that this group of Japanese pirates would be eliminated by someone who got there first.

"Who on earth is it?"

Wu Dongbo said in his heart.
