Chapter 95: The Five Tigers And One Phoenix Arrive

This day, on a path outside Rocky Valley, a group of people appeared!

Underneath the swaying embroidered banners, hundreds of soldiers emerged, clad in armor, holding shields and short blades, with flying daggers strapped to their backs!

In the midst of these soldiers, a worm flag was held aloft, beneath which sat six great generals, one female and five male:

The female general had raven-black hair, a face like peach blossoms, and almond-shaped eyes beneath elegant eyebrows!

She wore a golden helmet adorned with twin phoenixes, a suit of chainmail golden armor embroidered with phoenixes, eight-panel dragon-patterned leg guards, and small golden lotus shoes resting on peach blossom horse stirrups.

She held a Blazing Flames Sword in her hand and had six Red Dragon Darts hanging from her waist.

Seated atop her horse, she was truly a beauty that could captivate a city, like Chang’e descended from the moon!

She possessed a majestic presence, a heroine not inferior to men!

Having received the news, Wang Lun, the Chief of the Mountain Stronghold, who had been ushered by all the heroes to the large camp behind the giant rocks at the valley entrance, scanned the scene and couldn’t help but secretly ponder:

“This Fire Phoenix Yang Jiuniang, truly worthy of being fancied by that scoundrel Wang Qing, possesses an extraordinary aura, a truly remarkable talent!”

After this private thought, Wang Lun then looked at the war generals beside Yang Jiuniang!

To the furthest left, one general was tall and sturdy, with broad shoulders and a stout waist!

He wore a helmet with a brimmed, lotus-leaf design, its large black plume trailing behind his head, dressed in a dark gold armor with large plates, and a blue satin battle robe over it!

His face was like the bottom of a pot, dark yet gleaming, with a leopard’s head and round eyes, a swallow’s forehead and tiger’s whiskers, truly like Zhang Fei reborn from the Three Kingdoms.

He mounted a Red Mane Horse and held a Yu King’s Divine Spear upside down in his hand!

This person was none other than the eldest of White Python Mountain’s Five Tigers, the Mountain-Suppressing Tiger Yang Yunlei!

Since childhood, he had been taught by an expert and possessed exceptional martial arts. He was naturally gifted with immense strength, his arms capable of lifting a thousand jin with a single swing!

He was skilled in wielding the Yu King’s Divine Spear, incredibly powerful, swift on his horse, and fierce in his attacks, truly a fierce and unstoppable tiger general!

Next, on the backs of the two horses beside Yang Yunlei, sat a war general each.

These two generals appeared to be of similar age and looked extremely alike!

Their attire and appearance were also the same: silver helmets, silver armor, white robes, and white cloaks!

Their faces were as white as jade, handsome and elegant, like a pair of twins!

They were indeed twins!

However, one of these two generals was mounted on a white horse and wielding twin silver spears, while the other was mounted on a red horse and wielding a halberd!

They were none other than the second and third among White Python Mountain’s Five Tigers: the Jade-Faced Tiger Yang Yunfeng, and the Rivaling Fierce Tiger Yang Yunlin!

Yunfeng wielded a pair of Thunder Mother-Son Bright Silver Spears, his techniques being intricate and unpredictable, and profound beyond measure; he also knew the “Twelve Styles of the Fatal Spear,” which was incredibly potent!

Yunlin wielded a Sky Piercing Halberd and was known as the Rivaling Fierce Tiger, also called “Lu Bu Reborn.” His martial arts surpassed even those of his two elder brothers!

Next to Yunlin was another general, slightly younger, with a face also like white jade, a beard like steel beneath his jaw, and two sparkling eyes!

He wore golden armor over a crimson robe, mounted on a large dark green spotted horse, and held a pair of Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammers in each hand!

This was none other than the fourth among White Python Mountain’s Five Tigers: the Heaven-Breaking Tiger Yang Yunzhuo!

This fellow possessed natural divine strength and formidable hammer techniques, known for charging into enemy camps and battles, his hammers striking awe into all heroes!

Finally, the last general had a face that was a true marvel!

The left side was vermilion, the right side indigo; the left eyebrow was red, while the right eyebrow was yellow!

He had yellow whiskers and yellow hair, round, bell-like eyes, a bulbous nose, and a wide mouth, his appearance utterly ferocious and menacing!

He wore a dark gold helmet and a dark gold armor!

He wielded a pair of Plum Blossom Bright Silver Hammers and rode a Precious Horse, a Spotted Leopard.

This was none other than the fifth of White Python Mountain’s Five Tiger Generals: the Earth-Shaking Tiger Yang Yunting!

Flanking these six siblings were the five hundred Swift Wind Throwing Guards, each spirited and high-spirited, exuding prestige and commanding presence!

As the group approached the valley entrance, they looked ahead and saw a military stockade erected in the open space outside the valley entrance!

From a distance, the tents within the stockade stretched from one to another, banners waving like waves, as far as the eye could see.

On the palisade walls surrounding the stockade, soldiers stood guard, a post every five paces, a sentry every ten, the defense being extremely rigorous!

Outside the camp, things were even more interesting!

In all directions, wherever a path could lead, it had been dug up!

There was a trench on the left and caltrops on the right!

In wider areas, several palisades were occasionally built, completely sealing off the path leading into Rocky Valley.

The Mountain-Suppressing Tiger Yang Yunlei, looking at the heavily guarded camp ahead, couldn’t help but shake his head and say:

“In the past, I only heard that the Four Brave Generals of Longzhong Mountain were all valiant warriors, I never imagined they could also set up such an elaborate camp!

Observing this series of connected camps, scattered like stars and dense as a spider’s web, the defense is indeed strict and impenetrable!

However, they have sealed off this path so tightly, it doesn’t feel like they are preventing the thieves in the valley from escaping, but rather like they are preventing us from entering the valley?”

Saying this, he then pointed towards the path entrance and said:

“Brothers, look again at the only path into the valley there, it’s completely blocked by giant stones and anti-tank obstacles!

Those anti-tank obstacles, one here, one there, are interlocked haphazardly, difficult to move, impossible to shift!

These are the most formidable obstacles!

This single tactic alone prevents any possibility of cavalry charging directly through the valley entrance!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the second brother, the Jade-Faced Tiger Yang Yunfeng, frowned and said:

“It’s just to deal with a few thieves who kidnapped Duke Duan Er!

The Four Brave Generals of Longzhong Mountain have set up such an ironclad defense, aren’t they making a mountain out of a molehill?”

The fifth brother, the Earth-Shaking Tiger Yang Yunting, shook his head and said:

“No matter what, since we sisters and brothers are already here, why don’t we just go in and take a look!”

Yang Yunlei looked at Yang Jiuniang and asked:

“Little sister, what do you think?”

Yang Jiuniang observed carefully for a moment and then slowly said:

“Previously, when Duke Duan Er sent someone to report, he said there was an expert in the valley!

Now it seems, that expert must be the thief who kidnapped him!

However, fifth brother is right, since we are already here, it wouldn’t be right not to see what kind of expert is behind this, or I fear I won’t be at peace!

However, there are many suspicious things in that valley.

Just in case, my five older brothers should wait for me outside the valley, and I will go in first to see…”

Before she could finish, the second brother Yang Yunfeng shook his head and laughed:

“Little sister herself said there are suspicious things in the valley, how can we five brothers let you go in alone to take such a risk?

Never mind anything else! If you insist on entering the valley, then we brothers will accompany you inside!

Otherwise, we’ll all return to White Python Mountain together in a few days, and won’t get involved in this mess!”

“Second brother is right, we can’t just stand by and let our little sister go on an adventure alone!” the third brother Yang Yunlin continued:

“We siblings should advance and retreat together, either we all enter the valley, or we all return to White Python Mountain!”

Hearing the words of her older brothers, Yang Jiuniang thought for a moment, nodded, and smiled:

“Since that’s the case, let’s go to that military stockade first and inquire about the situation!

It would be best if the Four Brave Generals of Longzhong Mountain are there, but if not, then we will head directly into the valley…”
