I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 402: The Demon Lord's Inheritance, Meeting the Ancestor
"Is this the Ming army?"

Kenshin Uesugi was wearing silver armor and a white robe, holding a silver pointed helmet, standing at the forefront of the battlefield.

After hesitating for a moment, the girl let down her waist-length hair and put the pointed helmet on her head.

Although the pointed helmet does not provide much defense.

But it can make her presence extremely conspicuous.

It is convenient for organizing the soldiers under your command and can also attract enemy attacks.

On the battlefield, the slightest advantage can change the outcome of the war.

"Miss, when you were reading military books, weren't you looking forward to fighting against famous Han generals?"

The sound of horse hooves rang out, and military advisor Naoesai erected a huge Bi flag behind Uesugi Kenshin.

Looking at the battle flags fluttering in the wind, the elite warriors of the Uesugi family gathered silently and formed an orderly array.

The Naoes have served the Uesugi family for generations, and Naoes Ai herself grew up with Uesugi Kenshin.

After she came of age, she served as a family advisor and devoted herself to assisting the stubborn Kenshin.

At the same time, he also took care of Kenshin's daily life and diet.

Rather than being a retainer, he was more like Kenshin's guardian.

"I used to think there was no chance of fighting, so I had some strange thoughts in my mind."

Uesugi Kenshin stared at the assembled Ming army in the distance, feeling a little unhappy: "You know me, after that... I actually didn't think about it anymore."

The location where Kenshin Uesugi set up his camp was chosen very well, taking various unexpected events into consideration.

Not only is it located upwind, the slope of the mountain also allows the attack and defense of bows and arrows to be used to the maximum extent.

After the front army was suddenly attacked, under the command of Uesugi Kenshin, it confronted the Ming army.

The two armies were separated by a distance of two hundred steps, an area covered by dense rain of arrows.

Even the most powerful celestial beings would not rashly enter to experience the rain of arrows.

"But now, we have no choice at all."

Naoie Ai looked at the dark mass of the Ming army at the foot of the mountain and frowned, saying, "For the glory of the Uesugi family, we can only fight to the death and defeat the powerful enemy in front of us."

I don’t know what material the opponent’s bows and arrows are made of, but they are obviously superior to those of the Uesugi family.

Although our side was on high ground and had the help of the mountain breeze, they were still suppressed by the enemy's rain of arrows.

If it was a plain and everyone was fighting in the field...

Then the enemy only needs to shoot a few rounds of arrows to wipe out the entire Uesugi army.

Thinking of this, Naoie Ai felt a little relieved.

"In this war... we are the unjust party."

"I have been working to stop war since I was sixteen."

"I went to the battlefield dozens of times for the forces that were invaded by the Takeda and Hojo families."

Uesugi Kenshin smiled bitterly: "But in the end, I became one of the invaders, doing the thing I hate the most."

"Well... Miss, you are protecting the people of Echigo. This is for justice."

Naoie Ai sighed and said, "If it weren't for the young lady's sacrifice, the entire Echigo Province would have been massacred by Oda Nobunaga."

"Aggression is aggression, no matter how you try to beautify the motive, it is still aggression."

"I lost to Oda Nobunaga only because of my incompetence."

Uesugi Kenshin said calmly: "If we don't even have the courage to tell the truth, then we might as well commit suicide immediately."

"Miss? You've said too much."

Naoie Ai felt that this was not a good omen: "Didn't you say that we should abandon all negative emotions on the battlefield and only think about defeating the opponent?"

"Yes, I did."

Uesugi Kenshin said: "Unfortunately, I can't do it."

Naoie Ai: “…”

"For the sake of Echigo Province and the people of Japan, I will fight with all my strength."

"But no matter how bravely I fight, I am still a sinner. Only blood can wash away my sins."

Uesugi Kenshin bowed to Naoe Ai and said, "If I die in battle, I'll have to leave these things to you. Try to stay alive."

"Miss, please don't be like this..."

Naoie Ai looked at Uesugi Kenshin's stern expression and sighed, "I obey your orders!"

As the head of the family, Kenshin Uesugi's decisions cannot be questioned.

Even if the other party chooses to commit suicide by seppuku and orders her to act as the kaishakunin.

As a retainer, she had no right to refuse.

"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said."

Uesugi Kenshin smiled, lightly drew out his famous sword "Himetsuru Ichimonji", and walked forward quickly: "Everyone, follow me to charge!"

"Full bow, volley!"

The pale blade energy cut through the sky, and a cold female voice rang out: "Target: The enemy commander, Uesugi Kenshin!"

"Yes!"

The full moon of the bent bow was like thunder, and amid the whistling sounds one after another, rows of sharp arrows broke through and shot rapidly towards Uesugi Kenshin.

"Hmm? This bow and arrow...?"

Kenshin Uesugi looked at the arrow that was falling like a meteor and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The next moment, the girl grasped the hilt of the sword with both hands at the same time, raised the sword high above her head, and chopped it down suddenly.

The moment the long sword chopped down, a snow-white sword light broke through the air.

The sword light expanded rapidly.

In an instant, the slender light evolved into a sword wave that covered the sky and the earth.

The terrifying sword energy turned into a tangible wave, sweeping across the sky.

The earth was plowed flat, and the arrows in the sky were blown around by the sword energy and broken one after another.

"charge!"

"The Legion Commander will win!"

"Defeat the enemy!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted and approached the army at the foot of the mountain.

"Well!"

Uesugi Kenshin's pretty face turned slightly pale, as if he was in some pain.

She took a deep breath and said loudly, "All soldiers, listen to my orders. Without my order, no one is allowed to go out to the battlefield. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed."

"Master? You just..."

Naoie Ai was startled and said hesitantly, "Why don't you take a rest?"

"I have my measure."

Uesugi Kenshin said calmly, "Is it a problem for you to be in charge of supervising the execution?"

"…I obey your orders!"

Naoesai sighed, waved her right hand, and gave Uesugi Kenshin another encouragement and strong attack.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Uesugi Kenshin looked back and smiled, his petite body turned into many afterimages, and he charged towards the Ming army at the foot of the mountain alone.

***
"Master Military Advisor, what's going on?"

Usami Sadami, who is also one of the "Four Heavenly Kings of Uesugi", walked up to Naoesai Ai, who had a serious expression, and asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, young lady cannot block these arrows with her own skills."

"In order to prevent the front army from collapsing directly, the young lady had to use the 'Majesty of the God of War' to forcibly tear the rain of arrows apart."

Naoie Ai frowned, "This move puts a huge strain on the body. Miss can't use it all the time. You can only charge into the battle alone."

"The Ming army's volley fire is so terrifying?"

Usami Sadami was shocked: "How is it possible that there is such a powerful bow and arrow?"

Kenshin Uesugi's strength was unmatched in Echigo.

Normally, when facing a rain of arrows, you can just draw your sword with one hand and use the sword wind to blow away all the arrows.

This time, holding the sword with both hands already surprised Usami Sadami.

As a result, Kenshin directly used his ultimate move...

This made Usami Sadami feel extremely absurd.

"I don't know, but the enemy's bows and arrows are too powerful, they are definitely no match for our army!"

Naoie Ai said quietly, "Even if the Oda family fired a volley of muskets, it would be far from enough."

"No wonder the Patriarch didn't let me wait to go out..."

Usami Sadami looked ashamed and said sullenly, "How did the Ming army make their powerful bows? We can learn from them in the future."

"You can't learn it."

Naoie Ai waved her hand, and an arrow on the ground bounced up and landed in her palm: "The bow itself is just forged with fine iron, the key lies in the bowstring."

"Ok?"

"In addition to the bowstrings, these strong archers also need to be screened and trained in an extremely rigorous manner."

"It will take at least one or two years to pull the bowstring."

"Even with the strength of the Ming Dynasty, there won't be too many archers like this." "So if the young lady can really break the Ming army's bow formation, it will be equivalent to destroying the opponent's trump card."

Naoie Ai said in a faint voice: "It is indeed risky, but it is worth a try!"

"What on earth are their bowstrings made of?"

Usami Sadami was surprised and asked, "Why can't we learn it?"

"With such a powerful bowstring..."

Naoie Ai gave a bitter smile: "It can only be the dragon tendon!"

"Nani?!"

***
"How could anyone be so extravagant as to use dragon tendons to make bows and arm an entire army?"

"So many archers who can pull the dragon tendon bow... Could it be that they have eaten dragon meat and drunk dragon blood?"

"If I had a soldier like this... Never mind. Don't think too much about unrealistic things."

Kenshin Uesugi looked at the enemy army so close at hand, his pretty face puffed up slightly, and he felt a little tired.

In terms of leadership ability alone, she is confident that she can compete with heroes all over the world.

But right now, it’s not a question of leadership at all!

Since the other party can form a bow formation with dragon tendon bows...

Kenshin Uesugi thought that it was not too much for infantry to use dragon scales as shields and cavalry to use dragon bones as spears...

In this case, even if she used her most proficient "Car Suspension Formation" on the plains, she would be beaten and cried!
"Change!"

A beautiful woman wearing a general's robe and holding a Green Dragon Crescent Blade stepped out of the crowd and said, "Greetings to General Uesugi."

"Hello, General Uesugi!"

At the front line of the Ming army's position, a number of ferocious blue-black shields rose up and were placed on the ground tightly, forming a shield wall.

Invisible pressure emanated from the shield wall, giving people an unshakable feeling.

"..."

Kenshin Uesugi's eyes narrowed and he felt a little tight in his chest.

She still firmly believed that her military capabilities were no worse than the other side.

But, the opponent's equipment...

It’s really great!

This made Kenshin Uesugi, who lived a frugal life and often went hungry, feel an indescribable feeling.

It was as if she was a top chess player, challenging the chess players of the Ming Dynasty with full confidence.

But the opponent just clicked on the chessboard, and the five "soldiers" in front turned into five "rooks".

Regardless of winning or losing...

Just seeing this scene gives people an indescribable feeling of being terrified.

Tired, destroy it!

"General Uesugi wanted to break through the enemy ranks with his own strength. He is truly a man of unparalleled bravery."

Dugu Lianer smiled and said, "In this case, I will give the general a chance."

"what chance?"

Uesugi Kenshin's mind moved slightly: "Are you the commander tonight? Do you want to fight me in single combat? If you lose, you will retreat?"

Although she is known as a military god, her emotional intelligence is not very high.

He always speaks directly and says whatever comes to his mind.

He is also brave enough to make a small investment to achieve a big goal, which often leaves Naoesai speechless.

Right now, if we really want to fight, we will definitely not be able to win...

When Uesugi Kenshin heard Dugu Lian'er speak, he immediately realized that fighting with the woman in front of him holding a large Guandao would be the key to the outcome of the war.

Even though others are sure to win, they may not be willing to fight you one-on-one.

But there is nothing to lose by suggesting it...

Besides, he dared to come alone to charge into the enemy's formation and defeat the army.

If the opposing coach is still hesitant and timid, it will also affect morale.

The situation is already so difficult, we still have to fight for this little advantage.

"...I don't quite understand why General Uesugi behaved this way. Is this considered a pure heart?"

Dugu Lian'er pursed her lips and said, "Well, since General Uesugi is interested in this, there's nothing wrong with a battle."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Uesugi Kenshin hesitated for a moment, then hung the Himezuru Ichimonji back on his waist and said, "When I was young, I received martial arts training from a stranger. My boxing and kicking skills are actually better than swords."

"There's no knife in your hand, but there's a knife in your heart? You've forgotten about both you and the knife? That's not right. You look pretty normal. There's no reason to get stuck in this dead end."

"And the military god's majesty you just displayed was obviously intended to be displayed with weapons."

Dugu Lian'er hesitated and said, "Forget it, whatever you want. Since you don't need that thing, I don't need the Love of the City either. Let's fight first."

"Please give me more advice."

Kenshin Uesugi took off his pointed helmet, and his hands looked like claws and seals, making a very strange posture.

"Okay! I'll be welcome then!"

Dugu Lian'er took a step forward, and the raging flames turned into armor, burning continuously on her body and then injected into the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

At the moment the flames exploded, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade was suddenly raised and chopped forward without any tricks.

Seven snarling fire dragons left the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, circled and danced, biting towards Uesugi Kenshin!

Love for seven lifetimes!
"Is the Gang Qi spiritual? There are so many heroes in the world..."

Uesugi Kenshin sighed softly: "How can I fulfill your wish, Senior?"

Suddenly, an endless chill spread through Kenshin Uesugi's body.

The waist-length black hair turned snow-white and translucent, as if it were carved out of ice and snow.

Looking at the roaring fire dragon, the girl's eyes remained calm and she slowly raised her palm to meet it.

The cold air condensed, and a giant hand of ice and snow as big as a mountain appeared in the void.

The moment the giant hand appeared, it brought with it a chill that could freeze the heaven and earth, and faced Dugu Lianer's extremely strong and masculine sword intent.

Silently, the sword energy that could burn everything and the ice and snow handprint collided in the void more than a hundred times.

Under the impact of the cold current, the fire dragon roared angrily, and gradually collapsed and disappeared.

The huge handprint of ice and snow also quickly collapsed and turned into ice crystals all over the sky.

The aftermath of the sword energy and palm power swept across the battlefield. Under the interweaving of ice and fire, all the trees, grass and stones were turned into powder, and the air was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees.

"..."

The soldiers of both armies had never seen such a scene before. They stared blankly at the mirror-smooth ground beside the two women, unable to say a word.

"Great martial arts indeed!"

Dugu Lian'er let out a breath and silently circulated the power of Dragon Yuan: "Let's do it again!"

"please!"

Kenshin Uesugi also took the opportunity to take two breaths, with black mist surrounding him and a strong aura of death emanating from him.

"Wait a minute."

Purple mist swirled around, revealing Ao Xue's slender and graceful figure: "General Shangshan, is the internal energy you practice the Earth Extreme Mahamudra?"

"Hmm? You...you also know this martial art?"

Uesugi Kenshin was slightly stunned and said in surprise.

"Of course I know him..."

"That's right! This martial art originated from the Zen master Bodhidharma, and is one of the highest martial arts skills in the Buddhist world."

Uesugi Kenshin pondered and said, "Since the time of the former Demon Lord Bu Bai Suzhen, this martial art has appeared several times in the Central Plains and was once famous throughout the world."

"Are you the Demon Lord of this generation?"

"This one……"

Uesugi Kenshin was a little ashamed: "The Demon Lord has great aspirations. I am willing but unable to do so. I am deeply ashamed and unworthy of calling myself that."

"I have a great wish... OK, it is indeed a great wish."

Ao Xue sighed, bit her lower lip and said, "Let's not talk about whether you can realize that great wish, are you willing to bear the cause and effect of the Demon Lord's lineage?"

"Of course I am willing!"

Uesugi Kenshin clasped his hands together and said proudly.

"Well, not only the Infinite Crossing, but you've also practiced the Snow Crossing and the Death Crossing pretty well... That guy's vision is pretty good."

Ao Xue glanced at Dugu Lian'er and said, "I didn't expect this kind of thing. How about we stop fighting and sit down and talk?"

"Okay, I was wondering why there is no inheritance of the Demon Lord in the Central Plains."

"It turns out that the previous Demon Lord was so thoughtful that he went to Japan to make plans early on... huh?"

Dugu Lian'er's eyes flickered: "Sister Long, we are of the same generation, right?"

"Don't you always call me sister? Of course it counts."

"That's good……"

Dugu Lianer smiled and said, "Little girl from the Uesugi family, your ancestor told us not to fight for now. I'm not afraid of you. If you want to fight, we can do it later."

Uesugi Kenshin: “???”
