Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
On the seventh day of June, at seven o’clock.
At the east gate of Nanling Pass, battle cries shook the sky. The deputy general on duty was leading the city guards to try his best to resist the sudden invaders.
The reason why they were called invaders was because these people seemed to have appeared out of thin air. They were covered from head to toe in loose black robes, not soldiers of the Wu Kingdom in armor.
There were not many of them, and they were not even equipped with weapons. However, all of them were skilled and could not be compared to ordinary soldiers.
In just half an hour, more than half of the city guards had fallen, but the other party did not suffer any casualties.
“Damn it, what’s wrong with these people? They can’t even be killed!”
A burly soldier cursed and stabbed a black-robed man while his back was facing him. The spear pierced through the other party’s body as expected, and blood flowed out and dripped to the ground.
Before the soldier could rejoice, the black-robed man suddenly turned around, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.
His wide sleeve revealed a portion of his wrist because of his raised hand. The soldier’s pupils constricted when he noticed something. “You… you’re not human…”
The black-robed man acted as if he did not hear it. He exerted strength and with a crack, the soldier’s head fell to the ground.
He did not even care about the spear stabbed behind him. He began a new round of killing.
No one noticed that the dead soldier’s fingers suddenly curled up.
More and more soldiers fell. It was more like a one-sided massacre.
It took less than half an hour to get from the general’s residence to the city gate. Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia rushed over as soon as they heard the explosion. However, when they arrived, the city gate was silent, leaving only the soldiers lying on the ground and the bloodstains on the ground.
Song Jingchen frowned and reminded her, “Be careful.” He got off the horse to check.
Shen Yijia also dismounted and squatted down to examine a few people. She looked up at Song Jingchen and said uncertainly, “Hubby, these people seem to be still alive.”
Although his breathing was weak, his pulse was clearly still beating.
Song Jingchen also discovered that many of them were alive. Moreover, there were no obvious wounds on these people, but he saw strangulation marks on the necks of a few of them. There were even armor marks with traces of blood. Thinking of something, he was about to pry open a soldier’s armor to check.
A weak cough sounded in the middle of the crowd.
Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia looked at each other and quickly ran over to move the soldiers away from the person who made the sound.
It was a middle-aged man in a general’s armor.
The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes. When he saw who it was, he quickly called out, “General…”
Song Jingchen recognized the other party at a glance and asked with a frown, “Deputy General Liu, what happened here?”
“The city gate… was blown up… Four to five hundred black-robed men rushed in.” At the mention of the black-robed man, fear appeared in Deputy General Liu’s eyes. He shook his head in panic. “No, they… they don’t seem to be human… They can’t be killed…”
With that, he fainted again.
Shen Yijia frowned. “Four to five hundred? How many people are there in the city guard?”
Song Jingchen looked at the people lying on the ground with a cold gaze. “Eight thousand.”
Shen Yijia was shocked. In less than half an hour, four to five hundred people had dealt with eight thousand city guards without any casualties. Everyone had to have You Yi’s skills, right?
“Why didn’t any scouts send a message back in advance?”
“I’m afraid they’ve all been cleaned up.”
Otherwise, it was impossible for Nanling Pass not to have received the news in advance when such a group of people approached.
“Then they left after killing everyone?”
Actually, it was wrong to say that they killed people. Nine out of ten of these people were still alive.
If not for the fact that these soldiers were on her side, Shen Yijia really wanted to ask who they were killing when they were so unprofessional!
He looked at Deputy General Liu’s hand again. It was indeed stained with blood.
There were no wounds on these soldiers’ bodies from weapons. The blood on their swords should have been left behind by the black-robed man.
He stood up and looked in the direction of the city gate. He did not see any blood on the way out. He guessed, “They didn’t leave. They must have entered the city.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the faint sounds of fighting could be heard behind him.
“Let’s go and take a look,” Song Jingchen said.
The two of them quickly mounted their horses and rode in the direction of the sounds of fighting.
“Young Master, there seems to be something wrong with these people.”
At the other end of the street, Xiao Li looked at the soldiers fighting the black-robed man in front of him and said.
Coincidentally, they brought the army towards the city gate. Unexpectedly, they encountered this group of black-robed people halfway. They thought that the other party would run when he saw so many of them.
In the end, the other party was not afraid at all and directly attacked.
A few hundred people against hundreds of thousands of people. Wasn’t this sending themselves to their deaths?
This was what most people thought at the beginning.
However, in the end, his companions fell one by one.
Of course, it was not that the black-robed men were not injured. However, even though their bodies were covered in wounds, they could still move freely, as if they did not feel any pain at all. No one fell.
Xiao Qirui pulled out his sword and jumped up from the horse’s back. He stabbed at the chest of a black-robed man who was pinching a soldier with one hand.
The sound of the sword entering flesh was especially ear-piercing.
The black-robed man didn’t seem to care. He broke the necks of two soldiers with one hand and struck Xiao Qirui with his free hand.
Xiao Qirui’s eyes darkened. He pulled out his sword and dodged.
After missing, the black-robed man’s fingers formed a claw and attacked him again. Xiao Qirui swung his sword to block, his eyes staring at the blood that was constantly seeping out of the black-robed man’s chest.
That was clearly where his heart was.
“He’s still alive after being stabbed in the heart.” Xiao Li was right. There was something wrong with these people.
“Cut off their heads.” A sudden voice sounded. Xiao Qirui reacted and turned around to kick the black-robed man. At the same time, his sword slashed at the neck of another black-robed man.
With a crisp sound, the blade cut him, but it did not hurt him at all.
This was… Xiao Qirui swung his sword and cut the other party’s black robe into pieces.
At the same time, it revealed the man’s true appearance under the black robe.
It was a man in his early thirties. His entire head, including his neck, was covered by an iron hood, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes.
Looking down, they saw spots on the back of his hand that looked like rigor mortis. Everyone’s breathing tightened. “Is he even human?” they thought.
“Hubby, they…”
“This should be the source of the Wu Kingdom’s confidence,” Song Jingchen muttered and rushed into the battlefield.
“You Yi, let’s go and help too.” As Shen Yijia spoke, she took out two black iron arrows from the arrow basket behind her and threw one to You Yi. After thinking for a moment, she took out two more and threw them to Song Jingchen and Xiao Qirui. She took one and flashed in..
