Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 559 Taking Down the Number One Beauty
An Lansheng then came to his senses.

He had no idea what was happening.

When Qi Bao pointed his finger, An Lansheng felt a surge of scalding heat flowing into his body from behind, as if it was this force that had repelled Qi Bao.

"It's senior brother!"

He instantly understood.

The tall man standing behind him was none other than Liang Jin.

At the same time, the group of martial artists also woke up.

"Damn it! You dare to touch Young Master Qi?"

"Brothers, kill him!"

The warriors' roars were accompanied by the cold glint of clashing metal, and more than ten longswords were drawn simultaneously, aimed at An Lansheng and Liang Jin.

An Lansheng's pupils suddenly contracted. He saw the bloodthirsty light gleaming in the eyes of the person at the front, like the scarlet of a hungry wolf locking onto its prey.

However, knowing that he had a powerful backer behind him, how could he be afraid of this group of martial artists?
Just as the two sides were about to take action.

"stop!"

Zhou Baining's shout was as loud as a great bell. With her pale white skirt fluttering, she lightly touched the mast with her toes and leaped to the center of the crowd.

The most beautiful woman in the martial arts world of Dongzhou was now frowning, her starry eyes flashing with a cold light:

"Haven't you realized yet that he's a master?"

Zhou Bai Ning lightly touched An Lan Sheng with her delicate hand, but the latter recoiled as if burned, taking half a step back, his ear tips turning bright red.

"Even Qi Bao is no match for him, so why are you all getting involved?"

Her voice carried an undeniable authority, yet a hint of doubt unconsciously crept into the last syllable—the bizarre scene just now had indeed exceeded her comprehension.

After all, she hadn't realized before that An Lansheng had the strength to withstand Qi Bao.

Zhou Baining's words seemed to carry particular weight.

Upon hearing this, the martial artists all retreated behind her.

Zhou Bai Ning's high regard for her is not solely due to Qi Bao being her devoted admirer.

It's also because she herself possesses remarkable strength!
She was actually a fifth-rank martial artist!
For Zhou Baining to reach the fifth rank at such a young age, her martial arts talent is truly astonishing.

In addition, she was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had an outstanding appearance. Her exceptional musical skills made her famous throughout the country, making her an enviable and favored daughter of heaven.

at this time.

Zhou Baining stared at An Lansheng with her beautiful eyes:
"Your skill is truly impressive."

"Since you have already taught Qi Bao a lesson, I would like to ask you to give me some face and let this matter drop?"

It's clear that Zhou Baining regards An Lansheng as a master.

Even with her sharp eyesight, she couldn't quite understand what had just happened.

An Lansheng dared not meet Zhou Baining's gaze, so he looked away and was about to explain.

Qi Bao suddenly sprang to his feet like a mad dog whose tail had been stepped on:

"Just let it go like that? No way!"

He brandished his severed finger and rushed towards Zhou Baining, the splattered blood nearly landing on her snow-white skirt.

"With so many of my fingers broken, this will seriously affect the upper limit of my acupoint striking technique."

"If he doesn't pay the price today, I will absolutely not let this go!"

Qi Baojun's handsome face was twisted into a hideous and terrifying expression, completely unaware of the fleeting disgust in Zhou Baining's eyes.

No one expected that after suffering pain and having his martial arts future ruined, Qi Bao would not even give Zhou Bai Ning any face.

"Uncle Li!!!"

Qi Bao raised his head and shouted wildly.

As Qi Bao finished speaking, a chilling laugh echoed from deep within the cabin.

The laughter was like a sharp blade scraping against rust, carrying a heavy, bloody smell that made everyone's eardrums ache.

Amidst laughter, the carved wooden door of the cabin suddenly shattered, splintering wood as an old man in a grey robe slowly emerged with his hands behind his back.

The old man stood tall with his hands behind his back, his long gray hair and robes fluttering even without wind.

He walked out of the cabin step by step, his sharp aura enveloping the entire merchant ship, making everyone turn pale and afraid to even breathe heavily.

As the old man, referred to as Uncle Li, appeared, Zhou Baining's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Of course she knew this Uncle Li.

Uncle Li was renowned and held a high position at sea, especially since he was a fifth-rank martial artist!
Furthermore, Uncle Li was considered a retainer of the Qi family. Every time the great merchant Qi Qi went to sea, he would bring Uncle Li along to protect the safety of the caravan.

It was because Master Qi had important matters to attend to on land that he sent Uncle Li to protect his son Qi Bao's safety.

Now that Uncle Li has been alerted, things are likely to get complicated.

really.

Qi Bao raised his broken finger and called out to Uncle Li:

"Uncle Li! Look, he's ruined my hand!"

"If I go back like this, my father will definitely be furious!"

"Uncle Li, what do you think we should do? Should we kill them?"

Uncle Li glanced at Qi Bao's fingers indifferently, then turned his sinister eyes to An Lansheng and Liang Jin.

He smiled sinisterly:
"Yes, they should be killed."

Before the laughter subsided, a murderous aura emanated from him like a tidal wave.

After saying this, a murderous aura burst forth from his body.

The intense killing intent made everyone present feel terrified.

Even Zhou Baining's expression turned serious.

Such a murderous aura indicates that at least a hundred people have died at Uncle Li's hands!
This person must be an executioner whose hands are stained with countless lives.

Although Zhou Baining is also a fifth-rank martial artist, she has not killed more than ten people, and her ruthlessness is far inferior to that of Uncle Li in front of her.

But she gritted her teeth and stepped forward, saying:
“Senior Li, although this person injured Qi Bao, Qi Bao was the one who attacked first. No matter what, he doesn’t deserve to die.”

"Please, Senior Li, give me some face and spare this person's life."

An Lansheng wasn't a bad person, and Zhou Baining didn't want to see him lose his life in vain.

Qi Bao didn't want to contradict Zhou Bai Ning, so he looked at Uncle Li and kept giving him meaningful glances.

Uncle Li understood and nodded slightly at Qi Bao.

Then Uncle Li glanced sideways at Zhou Bai Ning, a cruel smile curving his lips:

“Young lady of the Zhou family, if your father intervenes, then I will naturally give him face.”

"But as for you... hehe, you don't have that much influence!"

After speaking, Uncle Li turned his head and slowly glanced at Liang Jin and An Lansheng.

But when he saw it clearly, his expression changed.

Liang Jin and An Lansheng had already arrived at the ship's side and were ready to disembark.

Liang Jin, sensing everyone's gaze, shrugged and said:
"How boring. You guys keep playing by yourselves. We're leaving now."

As Liang Jin's strength increased, he became increasingly reluctant to fight those with low martial arts skills.

Firstly, it appears as bullying the weak and taking advantage of the large.

Secondly, it's a complete waste of time and energy, and utterly meaningless.

If it were before, with Qi Bao acting so recklessly and Uncle Li so arrogantly, Liang Jin would have already taken their lives.

But now, Liang Jin felt that they were as annoying as flies. Killing them would dirty his hands, and swatting flies would be beneath him. He simply decided not to play with them and just leave.

Liang Jin gradually understood why those unparalleled masters seemed to possess such a high level of skill and prestige.

It turns out that once you reach this level, your mindset will naturally change as well.

Liang Jin needed to keep his plans secret within the Hualongmen sect, so he only brought An Lansheng as his subordinate.

If Liang Jin normally had many subordinates around him, how could these small fry possibly bother him?
"Want to go?"

Uncle Li's eyes sharpened:
"How can it be that easy?"

As he spoke, Uncle Li stomped his right foot heavily on the deck.

The merchant ship groaned in pain, tilted violently, and the sails on the masts fluttered loudly.

The originally flat deck turned into a large slope due to the tilt, causing people on the deck to lose their balance and fall.

Seawater rushed in from the tilting gunwale, instantly reaching above ankle level.

The side of the ship where Liang Jin and An Lansheng were located was raised high, and An Lansheng hurriedly grabbed the railing to avoid sliding down the slope.

Then, the ship that had been tilted up crashed down again under the force of gravity.

"Bang!!!"

Accompanied by a loud bang.

The people on the ship were shaken and fell to the ground.

An Lansheng was also thrown onto the deck by the powerful impact.

On the entire deck, only three people were able to maintain their balance.

One is Uncle Li, another is Zhou Baining, and the last one is Liang Jin.

Uncle Li and Zhou Baining were surprised to see that Liang Jin was actually able to stand firm.

"This guy……"

They had just realized that Liang Jin seemed to be a martial artist as well.

Liang Jin, however, looked out of the ship.

It turned out that when the large ship crashed down, it landed on his small boat instead.

The heavy hull smashed his small boat into pieces in an instant.

Now, Liang Jin and An Lansheng couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

A cold glint flashed in Liang Jin's eyes:
"You should be glad that my temper has improved a lot now."

“If it were before, I wouldn’t have stopped until I had killed you all.”

“I see that you also have a small boat tied to your boat, so I will use that as compensation.”

As he spoke, Liang Jin went to the side of the deck to untie the small boat that was tied to the large ship.

Uncle Li snorted coldly upon hearing this:
"Insanity!"

After saying that, Uncle Li was about to take action.

next moment.

A beautiful figure blocked Uncle Li's path.

It was Zhou Baining.

"Senior Li, although I am not very influential, I would still appreciate it if you could give me one."

Zhou Baining spoke of negotiating, but her demeanor was unyielding.

Uncle Li snorted coldly:
"Little girl of the Zhou family, if we really fight, you might not be a match for this old man!"

Zhou Baining was naturally aware of this.

Although Uncle Li's cultivation level was the same as hers at the fifth rank, Uncle Li had a wealth of experience in the martial world, having weathered many storms. He was not only ruthless in his actions but also unwavering in his confidence.

His combat skills are naturally stronger.

however.

Uncle Li naturally had his own concerns.

First of all, Zhou Bai Ning is the woman that our young master is pursuing. If we hurt Zhou Bai Ning, we will easily offend our young master.

Secondly, Zhou Baining is the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world, and she has many suitors, including some who are highly skilled in martial arts and have power and influence.

If Uncle Li really manages to scratch Zhou Baining, and if word gets out, there will probably be a lot of people lining up to avenge Zhou Baining.

This led to a stalemate, with neither side making the first move.

But this time.

The boat captain suddenly pointed into the distance in terror and shouted:

"Sea...sea...pirates!"

"Pirates are coming! Raise all the sails and turn the rudder!"

Everyone turned around in horror and saw a huge black shadow riding the waves at the horizon to the west.

Just as everyone was arguing and fighting amongst themselves, the large ship gradually approached and charged towards the merchant ship they were on.

The ship was entirely black, shaped like a crouching shark, and was twenty-four zhang long, its entire body made of ebony covered with iron.

Three inches above the waterline, barbed iron is densely packed, and when the waves surge, the cold stars appear and disappear. Only upon closer inspection can one realize that it is a sinister mechanism to prevent climbing.

The three-clawed iron dragon embroidered on the nine-foot-long black sail gleamed with a blood-red light under the setting sun, as if it might leap out of the flag at any moment to devour someone.

"Iron Dragon Gang!"

"They're pirates from the Iron Dragon Gang!"

The captain collapsed beside the helm, his face paler than a dead man.

Chaos erupted on the deck. Sailors screamed and fled in panic, warriors trembled as they gripped their weapons, and even Uncle Li's face turned extremely grim.

The East China Sea is vast and boundless, with dozens of pirate gangs of varying sizes. However, apart from the Iron Dragon Gang, the rest are just small-scale operations and have no real influence. They may still exist today, but they may be wiped out tomorrow.

However, the Iron Dragon Gang has existed for decades since the previous dynasty and has long since become a behemoth at sea.

At the same time, they are also the true overlords of the East China Sea!
Its leader, Zheng Jiaogu, was not only one of the ten most notorious villains in the martial arts world, but he was also known as "Raging Wave Yama" because of his cruelty and ruthlessness.

But in the past twenty years, Zheng Jiaogu has never shown his face, and people suspect that he has already passed away.

After all, if he were still alive today, he would probably be ninety years old by now.

Although Zheng Jiaogu had disappeared without a trace, his sons continued to cause trouble at sea without ceasing.

As soon as the Iron Dragon Gang's pirate ship came speeding towards them, chaos erupted on the deck.

Only Uncle Li remained calm and said in a deep voice:

"What are you panicking about?"

"I've been following Master Qi on ships for decades. What kind of pirates haven't I seen?"

"Even here with the Iron Dragon Gang, I have some influence, and I can certainly guarantee your safety!"

Hearing this, everyone finally felt much more at ease.

Qi Bao ran up to Zhou Bai Ning with a smug look on his face and said proudly:
"Bai Ning, don't worry."

“With my father’s name and Uncle Li’s presence, we won’t be in any danger.”

Zhou Baining looked disdainful. She herself was skilled in martial arts, so why should she worry about a bunch of pirates?

Her gaze involuntarily fell upon An Lansheng and Liang Jin.

"Ok?"

She keenly noticed that Liang Jin and An Lansheng were not only not panicked, but their expressions became unusually focused.

Especially Liang Jin, whose eyes flashed with an unfathomable light as he looked at the pirate ship, as if he had come specifically for this pirate ship.

However, at this moment, no one had time to pay attention to the two of them.

Because the pirate ship has arrived.

On the gunwales and masts of the pirate ship, a group of dark-skinned, menacing pirates with ferocious faces were seen, each holding a rope in one hand and a weapon in the other.

Their gazes were fixed menacingly on the people on the merchant ship, as if they were looking at a flock of lambs to the slaughter.

If the two ships were just a little closer, the pirates would not hesitate to jump aboard and wreak havoc.

At this time.

Uncle Li finally clasped his hands in a fist salute towards the pirate ship and spoke:

"I wonder which leader of the Iron Dragon Gang is on the other side?"

"I am Old Li from the Qi family, a retainer invited by Seventh Master Qi."

His voice was loud and clear, reaching everyone's ears.

After a while.

The pirate ship responded with a deafening burst of maniacal laughter:

"Zheng Aoshan!"

The name struck like a thunderbolt, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Even Zhou Baining's expression changed slightly.

Because she had already sensed that the person speaking was highly skilled and definitely a master.

Qi Bao was so shocked that he shrank back and dared not speak.

It seemed that just hearing the name was enough to fill him with fear.

Even the other crew members trembled.

Zheng Aoshan, this is the third son of the pirate king Zheng Jiaogu!
This is a core member of the Iron Dragon Gang, whose pirates number in the thousands!
He was a pirate captain even more ruthless than his father. Rumor had it that his Iron Dragon Ship was covered with pickled heads of his enemies, which he admired day and night.

Uncle Li's face turned as white as a sail instantly, but he still forced a smile:

"So it's the Third Young Master! My apologies for not recognizing you!"

"Our ship is still empty; we haven't been able to do any business yet."

"But I am also aware of etiquette, so I have already ordered someone to prepare a gift of wine and money. Please accept it, Third Young Master!"

By the end, his tone had become somewhat ingratiating.

As he spoke, Uncle Li waved his hand, and immediately a servant brought over a plate of silver.

If he encountered ordinary pirates, Uncle Li's reputation would be enough to make them give him face and abandon the robbery.

But a pirate leader like Zheng Aoshan might not give Uncle Li any face, so Uncle Li wisely ordered someone to bring over the silver.

Uncle Li took the tray containing the silver and slapped it hard.

The tray was immediately propelled by a surge of internal force and flew towards the pirate ship opposite.

A pirate took the tray, carried the silver, and ran back to the cabin.

After a while.

The voice continued:

"Old Li from the Qi family, I've heard of you. I won't make things difficult for you. You can leave now."

Uncle Li was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Everyone on the ship breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Bao, even more smug, smirked at Zhou Bai Ning and whispered, "Bai Ning, I told you the Qi family has influence at sea, didn't I?"

“Even in front of a notorious pirate like Zheng Aoshan, our family can speak up.”

Zhou Baining listened, but her face showed disdain.

Everyone knows that the Iron Dragon Gang's pirates commit all sorts of atrocities, including robbery, rape, and kidnapping.

Qi Bao actually considered it an honor to be able to talk to this group of villains; Zhou Bai Ning couldn't agree with this kind of value system.

But suddenly.

The voice continued:

"People and boats can leave, but the treasures on board must be left behind."

When these words came out, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

This is just an empty ship that was about to transport timber, where would the treasure come from?

Uncle Li couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder what the Third Young Master is referring to..."

The voice also gave a reply:
"Zhou Baining, the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world of Dongzhou, is a treasure."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and turned to look at Zhou Baining.

Zhou Baining's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she clenched her teeth.

Clearly, she also found these words extremely offensive.

She spoke in an annoyed voice:
"Zheng Aoshan, do you really think you can do whatever you want?"

"I know quite a few important people, and my Zhou family is not to be trifled with!"

Uncle Li, who was standing to the side, shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

He knew that Zhou Baining was reminding him that if something happened to Zhou Baining at sea, the Zhou family would not let the Qi family off the hook.

But Uncle Li had no choice but to suffer in silence, as the current situation was beyond his control.

On the pirate ship, Zheng Aoshan's laughter was like the hooting of an owl, full of contempt:

"Zhou Baining, of course I know you have a wide network of connections. If we were on land, I would really have to think twice before trying to take you back."

"But this is at sea!"

"In this East China Sea, let alone those big shots you mentioned, I don't even recognize the emperor of your Great Qian!"

"I can do whatever I want!"

These words were incredibly domineering, and the pirates couldn't help but jeer and shout.

While jeering, they hurled all sorts of vulgarities at Zhou Bai Ning and made all sorts of obscene gestures.

This made Zhou Baining turn her head away in disgust.

Qi Bao panicked a little, but only dared to hide behind Uncle Li, his voice trembling:

"Uncle Li, Bai Ning is a guest I invited; we can't hand her over to them!"

Qi Bao could easily imagine what would happen if such a delicate and beautiful woman were sent into a pirate's den.

Uncle Li's expression was also somewhat unpleasant, and he was about to speak.

But the pirate ship had already issued an ultimatum:

"Old Li from the Qi family, bring Zhou Baining here after you've tied her up, and we'll let you go."

"Otherwise, not a single one of them will be spared!"

Zheng Aoshan's voice drifted in on the sea breeze, carrying a chilling coldness that sent shivers down one's spine.

The air on the deck froze instantly. Sailors collapsed to the ground, warriors' hands trembled as they gripped their swords, and even the brass bells on the mast forgot to ring.

Zhou Baining suddenly laughed, her laughter clear and crisp like shattered jade, yet it sent chills down one's spine.

She slowly took down the pipa; the sandalwood body gleamed with a warm light, while the strings were taut and straight at her fingertips.

The pipa named "Falling Geese" features a lifelike phoenix carved on its headstock, yet at this moment it seems like a battle spirit about to be reborn from the ashes.

"Today, I will show you that the daughters of the Zhou family are not lambs to be slaughtered!"

With a gentle touch of her slender fingers, she plucked the strings, and they hummed like a battle horn.

This pipa is her weapon!

Qi Bao's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she gripped Uncle Li's sleeve tightly.

"Uncle Li, please think of something!"

"If we can save Bai Ning this time, she might be grateful and start to look at me differently!"

Uncle Li also felt that Zheng Aoshan was being a bit too domineering, and was about to say a few more words.

suddenly!

His gaze suddenly froze on the pirate ship.

On the opposite pirate ship, a gaunt figure slowly emerged.

The boning knife in his hand reflected a cold light, and there was still blood on the blade.

He was barefoot, his toenails filled with black mud, and beneath his tattered short clothes, his chest was covered with knife scars, each scar telling a bloody story.

"Zhao Laoqi, the 'Bone-Removing Shark'!"

"That madman actually came too?!"

Uncle Li's voice was filled with undisguised surprise.

This man was none other than the infamous pirate Zhao Laoqi!

He was a sadistic and sadistic man. People who worked at sea would rather be eaten by sharks than fall into the hands of this psychopath.

Especially since this freak is also highly skilled in martial arts, a fifth-rank master!
Three years ago, Uncle Li fought him. The two fought for half an hour, and in the end, Uncle Li was defeated by one move and was injured, so he had to flee in defeat.

His left arm still bears the scar from Zhao Laoqi's knife, which aches faintly whenever it's rainy.

When Li Shu saw Zhao Laoqi again, he vaguely felt that Zhao Laoqi's skills had improved a lot, making Li Shu feel that he was no match for Zhao Laoqi.

Zhao Laoqi stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his chapped lips, his gaze coiling around Zhou Baining like a venomous snake:
"Old Li of the Qi family, what are you standing there for? Quickly tie up that girl Zhou Baining and bring her here!"

"The Third Young Master promised that after he's done playing, he'll give me a treat too."

"I've long wanted to taste the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world of Dongzhou!"

His ugly, disgusting, and lewd appearance made Zhou Bai Ning feel nauseous. Her fingertips trembled slightly on the strings, and she even got goosebumps all over her body.

She turned to Uncle Li, her eyes still holding a last glimmer of hope:
"Senior Li, if we join forces, we might still have a chance!"

Qi Bao nodded frantically at Uncle Li, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

But Uncle Li remained silent.

Zhao Laoqi chuckled:

"Join forces?"

"Ask Old Li if he dares to lay a hand on us."

"Hey Hey……"

Uncle Li's face grew increasingly gloomy.

He knew, of course, that if he made a move today, the Qi family would be hunted down by the Iron Dragon Gang forever, and they would never be able to escape on this sea.

However, the Qi family's livelihood depends on the sea. If they cannot engage in maritime business, the once-great Qi family will surely collapse.

It's really not worth ruining the foundation built by generations of the Qi family for a woman.

He has received a great favor from the Qi family, and he must consider the well-being of the entire Qi family.

not to mention……

Even if he did make a move, he still wouldn't be able to win!
The other side already has Zhao Laoqi, who is more powerful than himself, not to mention the even more unfathomable Zheng Aoshan.

Once you make a move, you will definitely die, and you will die a terrible death!
"Senior Li!"

Zhou Baining called out again, her voice filled with anticipation.

Qi Bao couldn't help but tug at Uncle Li's sleeve:

"Uncle Li! Say something!"

"Anyway, Bai Ning is mine!"

However, Uncle Li simply turned around and calmly looked at Qi Bao. The sea breeze lifted his long gray hair, revealing new gray hairs at his temples.

He reached out, patted Qi Bao on the shoulder, and sighed:

"Young master, there are plenty of women in the world."

"And such a beautiful woman is a source of trouble and misfortune."

"I can't let her ruin you, so you should forget about her too."

Qi Bao was completely bewildered upon hearing this, having no idea what Uncle Li meant.

No matter what he said, Uncle Li ignored him.

Uncle Li had already turned to face Zhou Bai Ning, his aura surging, the pressure of a fifth-grade martial artist surging forth like a tidal wave.

"Zhou family girl, I'm sorry to offend you."

"Anyone would choose to sacrifice their own life to save dozens of lives on this ship."

His stance is self-evident.

The merchant sailors and warriors immediately swarmed forward, firmly holding down Qi Bao, who was trying to rush out. The handsome young man's angry shouts were swallowed up by the sea breeze.

The pirates on the pirate ship burst into a shrill laugh; they loved watching prey kill each other under duress.

Despair welled up in Zhou Baining's eyes, and the knuckles of her fingers pressing the pipa strings turned pale.

Even Uncle Li has turned against her, so she has no hope left.

She bit her red lips and said nothing more, her inner strength surging throughout her body:

"Even if I die, I will never let you tarnish my purity!"

Zhou Baining knew full well what would happen if she fell into the hands of these pirates.

Rather than living a life worse than death, it's better to sever one's own meridians and end one's own life.

At this time.

A burst of wild laughter suddenly erupted!
The laughter was so unrestrained that it drowned out the laughter of the pirates.

Everyone turned their heads.

The one laughing was none other than Liang Jin.

Liang Jin crossed his arms, threw his head back, and laughed so hard that the brass lamps on the deck hummed.

"Sorry, I just couldn't hold it in any longer."

"Are you guys trying to make people laugh to death?"

Where did that arrogant attitude you had when you were facing me just now go?

His voice was like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.

Uncle Li and the others naturally understood the sarcasm in Liang Jin's words.

Being publicly confronted in a sensitive area inevitably enraged Uncle Li and the others.

Uncle Li, in particular, had long wanted to deal with Liang Jin.

Uncle Li's face flushed red, and veins bulged:
"I'll kill you first, then deal with the Zhou family girl!"

Before he finished speaking, he moved like lightning, his palm carrying a sharp wind, aiming straight for Liang Jin's face.

Liang Jin's laughter stopped abruptly.

He suddenly moved—

His figure moved faster than lightning; the air only had time to make a tearing sound before he vanished from the spot.

Uncle Li's hand grasped only air, which shocked and angered him, and he hurriedly turned around.

But in the blink of an eye, Liang Jin had already rushed to Zhou Baining's side.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Liang Jin's large hand suddenly struck several acupoints on her body.

His hand moved like lightning, so fast it was unbelievable. Zhou Baining didn't even have time to react before she was hit.

"Uh……"

Zhou Baining let out a muffled groan as all her internal energy dissipated like water bursting its banks, leaving her limbs numb and limp.

She couldn't even maintain her sitting posture; her delicate body went limp and she was about to fall to the ground.

Liang Jin suddenly pulled her into his arms with his strong, muscular hands.

"You are such a despicable and shameless person!"

"If you've got the guts, then kill me!"

Zhou Baining glared at Liang Jin, her eyes practically spitting fire.

Liang Jin glanced at Zhou Baining indifferently, then raised his hand and slapped Zhou Baining across the face.

"Snapped!!!"

The crisp sound of the slap stunned everyone.

On Zhou Bai Ning's fair and delicate face, there was a bright red handprint, which made half of her face swollen.

She felt a burning pain on her cheek and looked at Liang Jin in disbelief:

"you……"

From childhood to adulthood, she was surrounded by men who tried to please her, and many of them were even willing to give everything, even their lives, for her.

She was like a treasure, so precious in the eyes of men that they would treat her with utmost care and tenderness.

But this was the first time a man had ever hit her so roughly!
This left her completely bewildered, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Liang Jin remained unmoved by her pitiful appearance, his eyes as cold as knives:

"Woman, if you don't want to get slapped again, you'd better shut up."

"I came here out of kindness to save you, not to be scolded by you."

Liang Jin did indeed save Zhou Baining's life just now.

original.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to Liang Jin's loud laughter, Zhou Baining seized the opportunity and actually tried to sever her own meridians to die.

She has already poured all her internal energy into her meridians; all she needs to do is activate it suddenly, and all the meridians in her body will be severed.

Liang Jin realized she was about to commit suicide, so he suddenly struck her acupoints, causing her internal energy to dissipate and thus saving her life.

If he hadn't been quick-witted and nimble-fingered, Zhou Baining would have already perished.

However, this action led to a misunderstanding among the people.

Even Zhou Baining believed that Liang Jin struck her pressure points in order to use her to curry favor with the pirates.

At this moment, seeing that she couldn't even commit suicide, Zhou Baining guessed her tragic fate and tears streamed down her face.

On the pirate ship, Zhao Laoqi burst into laughter:

"Wow! This guy looks so fierce, he's born to be a pirate!"

"Quickly bring the beauty over here, and I can take you as my disciple. I can also enjoy this little beauty with you! I'll save the back for you with the front! Hahahaha!"

Clearly, Zhao Laoqi thought that Liang Jinfang had knocked Zhou Baining down in order to prove his loyalty.

With Liang Jin's fierce and menacing appearance, it would be a real shame if he didn't become a bad guy.

Zhao Laoqi also developed a fondness for talent.

Zhou Baining closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks and dripping onto Liang Jin's rough clothes.

Just when everyone thought Liang Jin was about to pledge his loyalty.

But then Liang Jin stretched out his large hand, pointed at Zhao Laoqi, and said:

"Your mouth stinks."

"In a little while, I'll tear your mouth apart with my own hands."

His voice was eerily calm, yet it sent chills down everyone's spine.

These words were beyond everyone's expectations.

Even Zhao Laoqi was stunned upon hearing this, then his eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he gripped the boning knife with murderous intent.

At the same time, Uncle Li also came to Liang Jin's side.

"Hand over the Zhou family girl to me."

Uncle Li said coldly.

In his view, Liang Jin just wanted to take Zhou Baining's bribe and then directly ask Zheng Aoshan for credit.

But Uncle Li knew all too well that these pirates were capricious and unreasonable.

If he fails to win over Zheng Aoshan by delivering Zhou Baining, who knows if Zheng Aoshan will keep his word?
Liang Jin slowly straightened up, his two-meter-tall body resembling an unshakeable mountain.

He looked down at Uncle Li, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth:
"I was busy saving this woman and didn't pay attention to you."

"You really think you're something special?"

After saying that, Liang Jin suddenly swept his large hand across.

As soon as the howling wind started, Uncle Li's expression suddenly changed.

He finally realized that Liang Jin possessed a terrifyingly powerful force.

Uncle Li knew that before he could even cry out in surprise, he was already being slapped hard by Liang Jin's large hand.

This caused Uncle Li to fly towards the pirate ship like a kite with a broken string, slapped by Liang Jin.

So fast they disappeared in a flash!
