Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 10: Japanese Pirates and the Sea Sand Gang

Li Ping's historical knowledge was not solid, so he did not know that the Japanese pirates began to degenerate during the Zhengde period and began to grow in power during the Jiajing period.

During the Zhengde era, the Ming Dynasty's attitude towards whether or not to impose a maritime ban was inconsistent, changing three times a day, which led to a surge in smuggling merchants along the coast.

These people colluded with the Japanese pirates, which allowed the pirates to grow in power. Before that, the Japanese pirates had only been engaging in small-scale raids.

However, these details are not important. Now that he knows about the existence of the Japanese pirates and can find their location, Li Ping naturally wants to pull off a heist.

He deeply hated the Japanese pirates.

Seeing that Huang Rong and Li Ping were both like this, Su Ying did not try to dissuade them, and she never took the Japanese pirates seriously.

Afterwards, Li Ping and Huang Rong first escorted Su Ying and the young lady Li back to shore, and then the two of them went out to sea again.

As night fell, Huang Rong easily found the island where the Japanese pirates were located.

After infiltrating the island, the two quickly located the Japanese pirates' gathering point.

Li Ping clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "I remember that Miss Li didn't say much useful information, how did you find this place?"

Huang Rong said, "If you grew up at sea like me, you could easily find a place like this too..."

Her voice dimmed, and her face turned extremely pale.

Because there was a campfire at the Japanese pirates' encampment, the pirates gathered the girls they had abducted together and indulged in their pleasures...

Putting aside Huang Rong, no Ming Dynasty person could bear to see this scene.

Huang Rong said angrily, "These Japanese pirates deserve to die!"

"Even these Japanese pirates dare to kidnap people at will on the beach, what is the Ming Dynasty doing?!"

Li Ping said calmly, "Things are still pretty good right now..."

He knew how rampant these Japanese pirates would become in a few decades!

If I eliminate these Japanese pirates before they become too powerful, will the Ming Dynasty ever be free of them again?

Or, you could give it a try!

Li Ping sized up the Japanese pirates and said, "There are more than 100 of these pirates, about the same as Miss Li described..."

Luckily, I was prepared; otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have been able to win in a direct confrontation.

Li Ping sensed the wind direction, stood upwind, and opened a bottle.

This was his preparation: a bottle of anesthetic.

Su Ying gave it to them.

According to Su Ying, opening the bottle from upwind will incapacitate the person downwind...

Taking out three or four hundred people shouldn't be a problem.

With the antidote still on her tongue, Huang Rong asked, "Is Sister Su's anesthetic really that powerful?"

With this open space and strong winds, can this anesthetic really work like that?

She had some doubts!

Li Ping, who also had the antidote in his mouth, laughed and said, "Su Ying is quite skilled in this area."

He remembered the anesthetics and anti-itch drugs that Su Ying invented, which tormented ruthless characters like Jiang Yulang and Bai Shanjun to the point of near death. He had confidence in Su Ying's medicine.

Before long, the Japanese pirates and girls at the bonfire party collapsed to the ground, unable to move or even call for help, only able to utter soft moans...

Huang Rong was stunned. The anesthetic was so effective!

Li Ping was also pleasantly surprised: "This effect is comparable to a gentle breeze..."

"A gentle breeze carrying sorrow? What is that?"

"You don't know? During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia's Yipintang had a sleeping potion. No matter how skilled you were, just a little bit would cause you to lose all your power and feel numb all over. Yipintang once used this to paralyze all the masters of the Beggars' Sect..."

As they talked, the two of them had already walked into the venue.

The Japanese pirates were sore and numb all over that they couldn't move. They were already terrified and their souls were about to leave their bodies. When they saw two mysterious people suddenly appear, they were even more frightened. Unfortunately, they didn't even have the strength to speak or call for help.

Li Ping drew his sword and stabbed...

Any Japanese pirates were killed with a single sword strike; their ruthlessness terrified even Huang Rong.

She really didn't expect that Li Ping, who was usually so amiable, would be so ruthless towards these immobilized Japanese pirates!

However, after thinking about what these Japanese pirates had done, she felt that what Li Ping was doing didn't seem so wrong...

After all, she is the daughter of the Eastern Heretic!

……

Higashihachiro was full of pride and satisfaction.

What Ming Dynasty, what Celestial Empire, it was nothing more than this.

Those men of the Ming Dynasty were all cowards, utterly weak. Even when I killed their parents and children right in front of them, few of them dared to resist.

The women of the Ming Dynasty were as docile as sheep, with skin smoother than silk, far superior to the ugly and dark-skinned women of Japan.

So beautiful...

He was groping the woman in his arms, his actions disgusting the middle-aged man standing nearby.

Have these Japanese devils never seen a woman before?

If these guys weren't still somewhat useful, he really wouldn't want to stay in this place.

But then he sensed something was wrong and placed his hand on the hilt of his knife: "Something's not right. Why has it become so quiet outside?"

Higashihachiro was also taken aback. He could barely speak Chinese and could understand what the middle-aged man was saying. He also felt something was wrong and immediately called for help, but there was no response from outside.

Then, with a bang...

The door was kicked open, and Li Ping and Huang Rong, covered in blood, walked in.

The middle-aged man was shocked: "Who are you? How did you get in?"

Li Ping's clothes were stained red with blood, and a strong smell of blood emanated from them, but the Japanese ronin outside did not make a sound!

Depend on!

Did this guy kill all those Japanese ronin outside?

That can't be!

The middle-aged man couldn't believe it. Even if more than a hundred pigs were slaughtered, let alone more than a hundred people, they would still squeal a few times!

Li Ping took out a piece of linen and gently wiped his longsword. Looking at the middle-aged man, he said, "I never imagined that someone from the Ming Dynasty would actually become a dog of the Japanese pirates!?"

The middle-aged man roared, "Bullshit!"

What do you mean I became a dog of the Japanese pirates?

I'm just using these short guys to sell goods, okay!

Enraged by these words, Higashihei Hachiro pushed the woman away from his arms, drew his long sword, gripped it with both hands, and raised it high above his head: "What...what have you done to my people?"

He had called out a few times, but his men didn't respond. He didn't believe Li Ping could kill all his men silently, but something felt very wrong.

Li Ping said calmly, "Kill them all..."

Dongping Hachiro was furious: "No...impossible! No matter how high your martial arts skills are, this is impossible..."

After saying that, he roared and charged at Li Ping, his long sword flashing as it slashed towards Li Ping's head.

At this moment, Li Ping finally understood what Huang Rong and Su Ying had said to him.

Simply pursuing speed and intensity is really useless...

Like this Japanese pirate, he had long ago raised his sword high, gripped it with both hands, and slashed down from above, which could indeed generate extremely fast speed and power...

If you were an ordinary person or a complete novice like before, you would likely be scared.

But now that I understand a little about swordsmanship, I realize that this is really just a trick to scare ordinary people.

With your longsword raised high, you can only slash downwards. Holding the sword with both hands further reduces your attack trajectory, making your intentions and target too obvious...

Even though I don't know the Nine Swords of Dugu, I know where you're going to strike!

Li Ping's body suddenly lunged forward, moving like a ghost, and he instantly passed by the Japanese pirate.

Higashihachiro had no idea that Li Ping was so fast. He didn't even have time to strike with his sword and was completely stunned.

When he came to his senses, he felt a warm spray gushing out from his neck.

He lost all his strength and collapsed to his knees...

Li Ping spat, "With such poor swordsmanship, how dare you act so presumptuously in the Ming Dynasty?!"

His gaze then fell on the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was startled. Although Dongping Hachiro's martial arts skills were not considered top-notch, they were still quite good.

In the end, he couldn't even block Li Ping's sword!?

The key issue is that Li Ping's movements just now were too bizarre, he really looked like a ghost...

Now that all those dwarfs are dead, he doesn't want to fight them for the sake of them!

The middle-aged man immediately stood up and said, "I am Sha Tianhai of the Hai Sha Gang. Greetings, brother. I really have little to do with these Japanese ronin..."
