THE UNDERWORLD'S GREATEST SWORDSMAN.
ARMIES OF BANDIT GANGS.
ONE DARK AND UNSTOPPABLE NIGHTMARE.
----------------------------------
When a legendary itinerant swordmaster accepts a new contract, he faces an enemy that, for the first time, truly terrifies him.
In the late fifteenth century a
mysterious and deadly agent is terrorizing the central provinces of the
Ming Empire. Violent bandit gangs plaguing the region, however, are
being destroyed one by one, but the blood of innocents are paying the
price for their eradication. To avoid scrutiny from the imperial
bureaucracy, the local magistrate employs Sun Xin, a legendary wandering
swordsman, to solve the mystery and put a stop to the destructive
vigilantism. Nothing is what it seems and Sun Xin uncovers the truth behind the violence and madness that led to countless deaths.
The seeds of a vast conspiracy planted in prehistory will soon
sprout and the fruits from its vines will bring world-shattering war and
the sudden emergence of a powerful nonhuman civilization that will
descend on the earth's greatest empires...
