Chapter 1017: King Slayer, Wildland Suppression
Outside the Nanjiang Royal Court, a massive, wriggling patch of shadow appeared in front of the Nanjiang Royal Court in the blink of an eye.
It wasn’t until it stepped under the starry sky that its true form was revealed.
It was no shadow. It was a group of soldiers.
The soldiers wore black masks and black soft armor. They carried short blades and hand crossbows on their waist, and they all sported prodigious aura. They leaked almost no energy and made no noise despite running as fast as the wind, however. One could almost mistake them for a part of the night.
The soft armor the soldiers wore were incomparable to heavy armor in terms of defense, of course. Their weaponry seemed rather simple as well. However, those watching closely would realize that their soft armor and their boots were giving off a dark glow, and their short blades and hand crossbows sported ferocious auras.
Clearly, every single one of their equipment was a Strange Artifact. Not only that, they were Strange Artifacts that any jianghu warrior would fight to the death to obtain.
Some might say that equipment was ultimately, just that, equipment. No amount of extraordinary equipment could save a worthless wielder from their own incompetence. That wasn’t the case for these soldiers, however. Their aura was thick and strong, and their spirit was full and complete. It was clear that their cultivation levels were high.
They were none other than the famous, terror-striking army of Chu, the King Slayer Army.
King Slayer was an army that excelled at stealth and covering long distances. They were normally deployed to assassinate or ambush a target. That was why the soldiers were wearing soft armor and wielding short blades and hand crossbows. It allowed them to assassinate their enemies in perfect silence after a successful infiltration.
