Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

If Ningning hadn't been feeling uneasy and had turned back soon after the lightning sky disappeared out of concern for Taichi's condition, she might have missed the opportunity to meet Taichi and Yukimura Sanada and the others.

"Oh, Yukimura, it's great that you can regain consciousness!" Looking at the young man who jumped off the horse and was about to say hello to her, Ningning happily reached out and rubbed his head.

But when she saw the head of Taira no Kiyomori on his back, her hand couldn't help but pause.

"Lady Ningning, it's been a long time since we last met!" Yukimura Sanada didn't dare to stop her at all. He could only greet her after Ningning finished rubbing her head.

"Is this the witch who was stationed in Wancheng as mentioned in the previous rumors?" Ningning turned her gaze to Hongye.

"This is the priestess Hongye. Not only is she highly skilled in spells, she's also extremely skilled in martial arts." After Taiyi jumped off the horse, the female ninja breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing Ningning's words, she took the initiative to introduce her to her.

"It was with her help that Yukimura-sama was able to wake up from the puppetry technique."

"Thank you so much, Miss Hongye."

"No way! Purifying the evil spirit is the duty of the priestess." said the Dragon Priestess Hongye.

"So, sir who has lost his way, the things on Yukimura's back are the results of your battle?" Ningning asked Taichi, who had already jumped onto his own horse, with a bit of resentment.

"No, there is still one demon snake." Taiyi replied, "Now there are only six demon snakes left in the world."

"Well, you are worthy of being Lord Raikou." Ningning nodded with a fake smile, "I thought you were going to kill all seven demon snakes in one go, so you asked me to retreat so far away."

"No, no." Taiyi shook his head and replied, "There's no way we can win against seven of us. It's even difficult to retreat. The one I killed was when I took advantage of it being alone."

"If I want to wipe out the remaining six demon snakes in one go, I have to find a few capable assistants to work with me." Taiyi sighed in distress, "But at the moment, the only ones who have the ability to do so are Taigong Wang and the people from Huanmeng Village, plus Rachel, Ayane, and Kasumi. And only if they work together can we possibly contain one or two demon snakes. As for the others, no matter how many of them come, they will just be food for the taking."

After all, after defeating the demon snake, they can still transform into Enryuchi's form.

With fewer people, it is difficult to fight the demon snake, let alone the second form of Enryuchi.

The generals who have no game mechanism in terms of combat power are not strong enough to be noticed at all.

Otherwise, they would not have allowed the demon snake to destroy their home so easily.

Even the demon army led by Taira no Kiyomori and Jiao could suppress them.

However, Kyushu, which currently has the best preserved strength, is secretly colluding with Daji's demon army because of Mori Motonari, and is of no use at all at the moment.

"If it's just a matter of risking one's life, Yukimura can do it too." Yukimura Sanada said with a firm expression.

"Why don't you fight me and let me test your strength." Taichi looked at Yukimura Sanada and suggested, "If you can't even withstand a few of my moves, forget about fighting to contain the demon snake."

"Then come on!" Yukimura Sanada pulled out his spear from the horse's back and challenged Taichi to a fight.

"Lord Yukimura, you have to hold on for a few more moves! Don't get killed instantly with just one move again!" The female ninja cheered for her second young master on horseback.

"One move...ah." Ningning murmured with a helpless smile.

Hongye perked up and looked towards the center of the venue.

Taichi dismounted again and placed his hand on the hilt of Doujikiri Yasuna's sword, and then... the outcome was decided with just one touch.

Doujikiri Yasutsuna didn't even take out his scabbard, but at this moment it was already on Sanada Yukimura's neck, and the spear in Sanada Yukimura's hand just happened to fall to the ground.

"You can't even hold the weapon properly..." Taiyi sighed, "Forget it. With your reaction ability, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold the demon snake for less than two seconds before you'll be killed by a whip from the snake's tail."

Sanada Yukimura was quite shocked by the result, but the female kunoichi nodded with a matter-of-fact expression.

"As expected of Lord Raikou, you are as overpowered as ever."

Hongye blinked and took a deep breath.

Taiyi's speed just now was very fast, even she could only barely catch a hint of his shadow.

"If you don't mind, could you let me try out your martial arts, Mr. Raikou?" Hongye put her hand on the weapon on her back, looked at Taiyi and asked eagerly.

She felt that the strength of the person in front of her should be comparable to that of Hayabusa.

It just so happened that the opponent she most wanted to challenge was Hayabusa, but now that she had come to another world, she was afraid that she would never have the chance to meet Hayabusa again.

As for Rachel, Ayane and Kasumi that Taichi just mentioned...she just thought that there was a high probability that they had the same name.

After all, there are too many people with these names.

"Of course you can." Taichi patted Sanada Yukimura's shoulder to comfort him a little, then turned to look at Hongye who had gotten off the horse.

"I also want to try Miss Miko's martial arts."

"Please call me Hongye." Hongye, who admired Taiyi to some extent, recognized Taiyi's skills and had a certain preference for him in her heart.

This time the outcome won't be decided in a single blow.

Before the battle, Hongye used magic to strengthen himself.

And after all, she didn't come here to win.

She recognized that there was a big gap between herself and Taiyi, so the purpose of this challenge was just to figure out her own strength position.

After all, if one does not even know what level of strength one has in this world, but volunteers to fight against evildoers without authorization, the result may be death due to one's excessive pride and arrogance.

In just two seconds, Taiyi and Hongye collided no less than ten times.

Even though she's wielding a huge weapon, Hongye's agility cannot be underestimated.

"So amazing..." Ningning was so amazed by Hongye's skills that she couldn't close her mouth.

Among the female generals, the strongest ones from the Three Kingdoms and Warring States periods were Zhang Xingcai and Lu Lingqi. However, even those two did not show as much strength as the current Hongye.

After all, compared to individual combat, the two men are better at attacking and killing in military formations.

The female ninja and Yukimura Sanada were fine, after all, they had seen Hongye's skills in Wan City.

But Hongye at that time was a little weaker than she is now, which means that she had not used her true abilities before.

Yukimura Sanada and the kunoichi smiled wryly at each other.

Chapter 61 Jiang Wei: This battle is impossible to fight

Hongye learns a lot of different things.

The dragon priestess' spells handed down from generation to generation, the ninjutsu of the Hayabusa school, and the use of weapons whose origins are unknown.

If most people learn so many things, they will definitely be miscellaneous but not specialized. But Hongye is different. She knows clearly when to use which technique.

Her diverse knowledge enables her to come up with feasible responses when facing various crises.

But this time, she really couldn't find any way to deal with it.

In just a few seconds, Hongye used almost everything he had learned in the past ten years, but it only lasted for a few short seconds.

When the scabbard was placed on her neck, Hongye understood that there was one more person she wanted to challenge in the future.

"As expected of Lord Raikou."

No one present thought there was anything wrong with this result.

On the contrary, Ningning was even more surprised that Hongye could hold on for so long.

However, she finally understood.

Most of those involved in the first wave were "power factions".

Those who have strong individual combat power are only Lu Bu and a few others, and they can be said to be very few.

But the second wave that was swept over was the 'single faction'.

Although there are "factions" of the level of "Dream Village" and "French Soldiers", both sides have small numbers of people. When all is added up, none of them has more than a hundred people.

The others are even simpler, just one or two of them, but their individual combat power is ridiculously strong.

And each of them has unique skills.

However, in comparison, the French soldiers were a bit behind in the second wave of people involved.

Compared to the first wave, there are fewer people.

Compared with the second wave, its combat effectiveness is weaker.

The 'warriors' of Dream Village can be picked off as soon as two of them appear.

A group of five people rode their horses and galloped towards Jianye City.

After looking at the people around him, Taichi looked at Sanada Yukimura with a much softer look.

This kid's riding skills are about the same as mine, neither is very good, but his outstanding feature is his recklessness.

That's why he was able to cover up his somewhat poor riding skills.

Along the way, Ningning briefly described to the three people beside her what happened in Jiangdong.

"It can be said that if Lord Raikou hadn't been there along the way, not only would we not be able to recover the lost territory in Jiangdong, I'm afraid even the remaining strength of the Wu army would have been driven out of Jiangdong." Ningning sighed with emotion, and then glanced at the head tied with a rope behind Sanada Yukimura, "Not to mention chasing Taira no Kiyomori for thousands of miles and bringing his head back."

"And he also defeated a demon snake." The female ninja added, "Although I saw early on that Brother Raikou had extraordinary abilities and would definitely achieve great things, I didn't expect him to achieve so much so soon."

"All in all, Brother Lai Guang has been in this world for less than a month, but he has done things that I may not be able to do even if I wait for several years."

That’s right, if Taiyi hadn’t come, in a few years, this group of people would have been killed until only a few big and small cats would be left.

Not to mention recovering the lost land, there were only a few people left.

……

At this time, outside Jianye City, Jiang Wei, who was in charge of leading the troops to attack the city, was in a dilemma of being unable to advance or retreat.

Go ahead, the defending generals Honda Tadakatsu and Inahime are not to be trifled with. They launched two previous sieges and suffered countless casualties, but they were able to achieve nothing.

The city wall was not stepped on and no hole was opened in the city gate.

Let's retreat. He has already brought shame to General Guan behind him by not achieving any success. If he retreats again, he will really lose face and get trampled on.

After all, when they recovered the lost territory of Jiangdong, that adult was there, and the progress was so smooth that many people took victory for granted.

His one defeat was enough for those people to trample the Shu Han generals under their feet.

Therefore, Jiang Wei’s situation is really embarrassing now.

"We lost 200 soldiers and 400 wounded, which means we are down 600 soldiers at once... Lord Jiang Wei, don't you have any good ideas for attacking the city? We don't have many soldiers to begin with, and if we lose a few hundred more, we will be seriously injured. With the current losses, even if we succeed in the siege, we will be beaten up by Jiangdong's generals when we return." A middle-level general of Shu Han who regained consciousness questioned Jiang Wei with an unpleasant expression, "What will be damaged is not only our reputation, but also the status of Shu Han in the eyes of that lord."

"There is a way, but it cannot be used." Jiang Wei sighed with a heavy face, "Didn't our army obtain a large number of powerful... thermal weapons from those future buildings? Using those things, attacking the city is very simple, but the damage to the city walls and the city is too great."

"In previous sieges, because that lord led the charge, the city walls and gates were like nothing. We easily captured them, so that apart from the loss of the city gate, no other buildings were damaged."

"If we request heavy weapons support for the siege today, not only will we lose face, we may even be criticized by generals from other countries."

"Is there no other way besides this?" someone else asked.

"Do you really think Honda Tadakatsu is just a decoration?" Jiang Wei was a little angry. "Unless General Guan comes in person or finds those newly joined foreign aids, who has the strength to compete with that man's bravery! Is it you! Or me!"

"Moreover, those guys stubbornly defended Jianye City. No matter how we provoked them, they refused to come out of the city to fight. How can you let me fight them?"

If possible, Jiang Wei actually doesn't mind using some "evil tricks".

But unfortunately, Taiyi had already set the rules.

When fighting against the demon army, you can do whatever is dirty, no matter how moral it is.

But when fighting against those who are controlled by puppetry, you must never use vicious tactics to wipe out the entire family.

Otherwise, civil strife will sooner or later break out within the already unstable expeditionary army.

Especially now, the people guarding the city are Honda Tadakatsu and his daughter, Inahime.

He was Tokugawa Ieyasu's most trusted confidant.

Even if it was out of impatience, and even at the moment when he was seeking the life of the person Tokugawa Ieyasu feared the most, and he said something like "Then I will have no choice but to rebel against my lord", Tokugawa Ieyasu could get away with it lightly.

This is enough to show the position of Honda Tadakatsu in Tokugawa Ieyasu's heart.

I can lose my son, but I cannot lose Honda Tadakatsu.

What's more, Tokugawa Ieyasu is the person in the world who has the best relationship with Shu Han.

In addition, Honda Tadakatsu was manipulated by Taira no Kiyomori in order to protect Chengdu and ensure the safe retreat of his leader of Shu Han.

How can Jiang Wei fight against this?

There's no need to fight at all!

Just when Jiang Wei had to consider whether he should ask for help from the Dream Village or the female ninjas, the scout team brought good news.
