The Nine Cauldrons

“Humph, Elder Tie, do not underestimate Zhuge Yuanhong! Underestimating him will have terrible consequences.” The middle-aged man said. “Once we are five Li away, we will dismount and use Qinggong to invade.”

The vibration of hooves was easily discovered.

……

During the winter, the sky darkened early.

On top of Yanjiang City, a large number of soldiers stood there vigilantly. Furthermore, a lot of soldiers were patrolling back and forth with a solemn atmosphere. In fact, Yanjiang’s major, and the city guard captain, got a message this morning, ordering them to shut the gate and be vigilant. It mentioned that there was a high possibility that Qing Hu Island would be invading.

Moreover, recently an order from the Gui Yuan Sect came –

The army of Qing Hu Island could invade at anytime.

“Keep your eyes open. After a while, when night arrives, the Black Armored Army will arrive. Then everybody can relax.” A lean man wearing a black armor walked on the wall and several elite warriors followed behind him.

The sky darkened, but because of the snow, the warriors could see in the distance with clarity.

“Enemy!” Suddenly a shrill cry could be heard.

All the warriors on top of the city were horrified and in shock as they stared into the distance with widened eyes. “What?” The city guard captain on the city top looked into the distance. He saw the scene, and his face suddenly changed, before shouting loudly, “Archers, ready!!”

Numerous shadows quickly approached the city could be seen in the distance.

These men were even wrapped a layer of white cloth around their armor and were covered in white from their feet to the helmet. In the white snow, those warriors in white were harder to notice.

When the soldiers in Yanjiang City found out, those warriors had already rushed in the vicinity of fifty Zhang.

“Kill!”

A big “He” noise could be heard beneath those white warriors, and suddenly all their speed surged as they didn’t care to hide their bodies anymore.

Hu! Hu! Hu!

Each one of them seemed to transform into an agile leopard, and each of their steps crossed three Zhang as they rushed towards Yanjiang City like lightning.

“Experts, they are all experts.” The captain of the city guards “Wu Hao” was stunned as he looked down and saw those warriors running speed. He then immediately widened his eyes and shouted, “Shoot! Shoot them!!!” From the top of the wall, countless archers readied their bows and immediately shot downwards toward the white soldiers.

Pfew! Pfew! Pfew!

Arrows covered the sky and swarmed the area!

Puchi! Bling!

All kind of different noises could be heard. Those white soldiers tore down their white cover and revealed the black armor that they were clad in. Those warriors’ arrows couldn’t injure them.

When the city guard captain ‘Wu Hao’ saw the enemies’ exposed armor, his face turned pale, “Golden Scale Guards!” However, ordinary soldiered didn’t recognize these warriors armor.

“Boiling water, hot oil, quick!” Wu Hao roared.

Those Golden Scale Guards quickly rushed to the foot of the mountain, the wall was ten Zhang high and First Rated Warriors were unable to leap over it. Numerous Golden Scale Guards suddenly split the ground and jumped four to five Zhang into the air, before suddenly inserting a knife into the wall. They then started hanging on the wall.

In a short moment, a dozen Golden Scale Guards ‘hung’ on the wall and used the knife as leverage to jump once again.

“Fall!!!” Captain Wu Hao ferociously roared.

“Hu!” Boiling water and oil was poured down from above. The burning hot water and oil couldn’t be stopped. Even the best armor couldn’t protect against boiling water and oil.

“Ah!” “Ah!” Numerous Golden Scale Guards jumped away to dodge, but there were still a lot that got burned. Of course, these were only minor injuries.

“Fire!” The captain shouted loudly.

Countless torches were thrown from the wall. The ground which was already covered with boiling oil understandably flared up, creating a monstrous firestorm. There were even flames on the wall. Obviously, they wanted to stop the Golden Scale Guards with the flame, but unfortunately, Qing Hu Island’s most elite Golden Scale Guards were not that easy to stop.
