Powerful Valkyrie, fierce battle! (5600)

"Take down this Valkyrie remnant!"

After receiving Cao Xing's order.

Braum let out a roar, his body instantly surged to over two meters tall, and then he charged forward with big strides!

This big guy looked clumsy, but with the support of various movement speed buffs, his running speed was incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, he approached the enemy!

At this moment, when the Valkyrie remnant saw Braum charging over, her pupils still held an expression of indifference toward all living beings.

She casually waved the dark golden longsword in her hand and slashed down instantly!

"Hum!"

A trembling sound like air being cut came again, accompanied by a heaven-shaking sword energy that swept past, creating a crack over a thousand meters long along its path!

Braum, who was grazed by the sword energy, had a damage figure of over 80,000 appear above his head!

After seeing this scene, Cao Xing slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"Very good, that sword strike just now was indeed the effect of her skill."

"Otherwise, if a casual sword strike dealt hundreds of thousands of damage, that would be too outrageous!"

However, before Cao Xing could react.

The Valkyrie remnant's figure had already disappeared from where she stood.

When she appeared again, she had already arrived behind Braum!

This method of movement was simply comparable to teleportation, making it completely impossible for anyone to react.

Braum only felt a cold killing intent appear behind him, and he just wanted to turn around to block with his shield.

But the Valkyrie remnant had already launched a slash.

"Swish!"

[ – 69623 ]

[ – 123727! ]

[ – 52167 ]

[ – 66272 ]

[ – 53677 ]

[ – 64293 ]

[ – 79623 ]

Seven damage numbers appeared directly above Braum's head.

His HP dropped by over 500,000 on the spot!

And the most critical thing was that they clearly only saw this woman swing her sword once, yet Braum received seven slashing attacks.

What did this mean?

It meant that the opponent's attack speed had reached an outrageous level, capable of slashing seven or eight times in a single second!

"Holy shit! Is she this perverted?"

"Doesn't this mean that even a Tier 7 Master-level commander wouldn't be able to last a few seconds in her hands?"

At this moment, the Valkyrie was preparing to raise her longsword again to take Braum out on the spot.

Seeing this, Cao Xing also got ruthless.

He directly entered the [Demon Transformation] state!

Bai Zhi, Wei Jianyi, and the others had already retreated outside the passage when the battle began, so there was no need to worry about being seen by them.

"Whoosh!"

As the terrifying demonic energy surged!

A Great Demon with a terrifying aura appeared!

Cao Xing's current attributes were already equivalent to a Tier 7 Boss-level creature.

After a 100% increase, he directly reached the Tier 8 level.

Then, he directly extended his demonic claws and fiercely stomped on the spot.

Dense dark tentacles appeared and clung to the Valkyrie remnant's body.

Seeing this, the opponent casually swung her sword again.

"Hum!"

The sound of air being cut appeared.

Within a hundred-meter radius, all the dark tentacles that just emerged were directly slashed into fragments!

This large-scale crowd control skill was directly unilaterally suppressed by her relying on her powerful strength!

Fortunately, Cao Xing's [Shadow Tentacles] skill was continuous.

No matter how many tentacles she slashed off, more would grow from the ground.

"Swish~!"

More black tentacles surged like ocean waves, directly clinging to her legs, restricting her movement.

Although they would immediately be cut into fragments by her sword.

But at least it could briefly drag her in place.

Taking advantage of this time, Sarah, Assam, and the others had already arrived by her side.

Two legendary weapons slashed down crazily!

Beside them, Isabelle's holy light power surged, and she also unleashed spell attacks one after another.

[ – 56722! ]

[ – 43552! ]

[ – 41672 ]

[ – 76288! ]

[ – 86267! ]

[ – 89246! ]

[ – 88625 ]

[ – 116262 ]

…

The attack speed of the two melee fighters was also outrageously fast.

Assam could slash two or three times in a second, and Sarah could reach three or four attacks!

Coupled with the attacks from Isabelle and Cao Xing nearby.

Adding the four of them together, they could take off nearly 900,000 HP from the opponent in one second!

In fact, their combined DPS could reach an even more terrifying level.

It was mainly because the Valkyrie remnant's armor was too high.

And she definitely had other damage-reduction statuses on her.

The four people's damage was all reduced quite a bit.

At this moment, Cao Xing's dark tentacles had controlled the opponent for less than a second.

A terrifying force erupted from the Valkyrie remnant's body!

"Boom!!"

A loud noise, as if heaven and earth were collapsing!

The powerful impact force spread outwards with the Valkyrie as the center, and the air was shaken until it hummed!

Braum, Sarah, Assam, and the other three melee fighters all felt an irresistible force rushing toward them.

Before they could even react, they were sent flying backward like kites with broken strings!

In the sky filled with sand and dust, the Valkyrie's full head of red hair danced wildly like burning flames, like an invincible deity!

That masked face gradually turned, and her dark brown pupils instantly locked onto Cao Xing.

Just like a hunter eyeing its prey.

The next moment, that flash of red shadow rushed toward Cao Xing.

"Hum!"

The blade drew a trembling sound in the air, and a terrifying sense of oppression came rushing toward him.

Seeing this, anxious expressions appeared in the eyes of Sarah and Assam, who were sent flying backward.

"You are not allowed to hurt Lord!"

"Stop right there!"

Sarah and Assam rushed over crazily!

But their speed naturally couldn't keep up with this powerful Valkyrie.

In just a fraction of a second, Cao Xing saw that flash of red shadow approaching rapidly.

A death-like sense of oppression struck.

However, he did not retreat.

Although this woman's attack power was terrifying,

Lord Cao had triple resurrection on him, so he wasn't panicked at all!

Moreover, if she killed his demon form, under the effect of the [Dark Crystal], Cao Xing would become significantly stronger again!

Just as the Valkyrie was about to approach within 100 meters of Cao Xing, reaching her maximum attack range.

A vast pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky, directly enveloping her!

And like a prison, it trapped her tightly.

The Valkyrie remnant instantly slashed out several times.

The sword energy swept past, and only a few ripples appeared on the surface of this light pillar, which did not break.

The Valkyrie remnant tilted her head slightly and looked to the side.

At this moment, Isabelle held a staff in her left hand and clutched a holy scripture in her right.

A powerful holy light radiated from her, almost illuminating the entire Sword Tomb!

It was she who released that circle of light, trapping the Valkyrie within it.

"Oh, person of sin, be bound within the holy light!"

At this moment, the Valkyrie remnant looked at the constantly shrinking circle of light and spoke slowly.

"Holy light… cannot trap me."

This was the first time she had spoken; it was an ethereal and wispy voice.

As if it came from another world.

The next moment, she was seen slowly holding the dark golden longsword in her hand across her chest, and then slashing out directly!

"Clang!" Instantly, a series of sword shadows swept past like lightning.

The Valkyrie remnant's movements were faster than afterimages, as if four or five dark golden longswords were slashing at the same time!

Under this storm-like offensive, this pillar of holy light was shattered on the spot!

Holy light fragments splattered everywhere, then disappeared into the air.

After unleashing that wave of terrifying slashes, the Valkyrie slowly sheathed her sword.

That sharp gaze locked onto Cao Xing again, as if she would not give up until she killed him.

Just as she was preparing to pounce on Cao Xing, a figure emitting an aura of death appeared abruptly beside her.

That figure was dark and twisted, swallowing the surrounding light, and the holy light seemed unable to affect her.

It was Sarah!

This Dark Elf assassin had also entered a crazy state.

"Those who harm the Lord, die!"

After saying this, she directly activated the [Death Dance] skill.

A death-like shadow lunged toward the Valkyrie remnant.

However, this Valkyrie's reaction speed had truly reached a terrifying level.

The moment Sarah arrived at her side like a ghost!

The Valkyrie turned to the side and slightly raised the longsword in her hand.

With a crisp "Ding!" sound, she blocked Sarah's death gods dagger.

The [Death Dance] burst skill had a full eight stages of damage, and was completed within a fraction of a second.

Sarah swung her death gods dagger, slashing rapidly, her movements so fast they were impossible to capture.

However, the longsword in the Valkyrie's hand was equally as fast as lightning.

"Ding! Ding ding ding ding!"

Continuous sounds of metal clashing rang out.

Sarah's eight slashes were actually all blocked by her!

At this moment, not only was Cao Xing feeling unbelievable, but even Sarah was looking at the opponent with a shocked expression!

On the field, everyone was silent.

This was the most terrifying enemy they had ever encountered in their history.

Even Sarah, the strongest existence under Cao Xing, was easily suppressed.

It could only be said that she was indeed worthy of being associated with a god; even as a remnant, her combat power was outrageously strong.

However, this also ignited the fighting spirit in Sarah's heart.

She said in a deep voice: "Come on! Let the Shadow Temple witness what the strongest assassin is!"

At this moment, she did not know what power she had activated.

The aura of shadow and death on her body surged significantly again!

In her other hand, [Flowing Fire Blade] also appeared out of thin air!

Then, she once again lunged toward the Valkyrie like a flowing shadow.

With the support of dual daggers, Sarah's slashing movements were already faster than afterimages.

And every time after unleashing several slashes, this flowing shadow would change to a tricky angle to slash.

And the Valkyrie remnant was also rapidly raising her sword to counterattack.

Bursts of metal clashing sounds were accompanied by the sound of flesh being cut.

Damage numbers kept appearing.

[ – 66232! ]

[ – 78548! ]

[ – 96267! ]

[ – 119256! ]

[ – 154672! ]

Five consecutive damage figures appeared from the Valkyrie remnant's body.

Before she could make her next slashing move, a loud explosion rang out!

"Bang!"

[-514,975!]

Shadow Bloom!

A single burst of damage instantly drained over a million of her HP.

It also blasted the Valkyrie Remnant into a stagger, forcing her to stumble back two or three steps!

At this moment, Sarah was like a true King of Assassins, suppressing an entity that was dozens of levels higher than her.

The Valkyrie Remnant quickly steadied herself, then raised her head to glance at the assassin, seemingly having had her fighting spirit ignited.

"Sizzle~"

It sounded as if something had been ignited.

At that moment, Cao Xing saw a dark red flame erupt along her longsword.

With a casual wave, the air seemed to be sliced open by her sword and set ablaze!

Even the temperature inside this Heritage Sword Mound rose by a few degrees.

Then, like a burning ball of fire, she lunged at Sarah!

Even knowing that the Valkyrie Remnant was now unleashing even greater power, Sarah did not dodge or evade.

She engaged her head-on!

At this moment, Sarah, transformed into the Grim Reaper, engaged in the most frantic collision with the Valkyrie.

The death gods dagger slashed repeatedly, twisting light while seemingly devouring all life.

The flaming longsword in the Valkyrie's hand cut through everything.

"Ding! Clang!"

Every sword strike brought with it sword energy that spanned a thousand meters!

The two women were now fighting in a frenzy!

Red sword energy vented wildly in all directions, accompanied by a terrifying aura of death.

The ground was sliced open with massive cracks.

It could be said that anyone who dared to approach at this moment would suffer indiscriminate attacks from the two!

Relying on her level 70 strength, Sarah was forcefully holding back this terrifying entity that was at least level 90!

Cao Xing, of course, would not let her fight alone.

He quickly shouted: "Everyone, go all out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he switched back to his Frost Mage form.

Set Effect — Winter's Arrival instantly activated!

The temperature inside the entire Sword Mound plummeted by dozens of degrees, while simultaneously greatly increasing his Ice-type spell damage!

Meanwhile, powerful Ice-type spells were instantly unleashed one after another.

Ice Breaking Flying Blade!

Ice Soul Spinning Spear!

Ice Arrow Rain!

A surging icy aura erupted, shrouding the battlefield where the two women were fighting, and lowering the temperature even further.

On the other side, Isabelle flipped through her holy tome frantically, casting powerful Light-type spells.

Holy Light Orb!

Holy Light Ash Shield!

Holy Light Glazed Shatter!

"Bang! Clang!"

[-67,826!]

[-41,962]

[-31,774]

[-28,562]

[-78,831]

[-100,073!]

…

Dense damage numbers floated up from above the Valkyrie Remnant's head.

At the same time, as Sarah cast [Shadow Shatter]!

"Bang!"

With everyone's combined efforts, the Valkyrie Remnant was blasted flying over ten meters away again.

She quickly rolled and landed steadily on the ground.

In just fifteen seconds, including Sarah's output, the three of them had dealt nearly four million damage to her!

Of course, the Valkyrie Remnant had also dealt over a million damage to Sarah.

Among this, most of the slashes were blocked by Sarah using the death gods dagger; otherwise, the damage dealt would have been even higher.

The Valkyrie Remnant seemed to have been stirred into a trace of anger by everyone's attacks.

She instantly retreated, leaping hundreds of meters back.

Then, she held her burning longsword in front of her chest!

A destructive aura spread out.

Beneath the mask, those deep brown pupils locked onto Sarah.

Clearly, this was the effect of an ultimate skill, and its lethality must be extremely terrifying!

Cao Xing quickly realized something and immediately said: "Braum, go protect Sarah!"

However, before he could finish speaking, the Valkyrie's figure vanished from where she stood.

When she reappeared, she was already behind Sarah!

"Swish!"

This sword strike was terrifyingly fast!

Even though Sarah tried desperately to block, she couldn't stop this strike.

"Pfft!"

The blade sliced across her back.

[-318,622]

One strike! Three hundred and eighteen thousand damage!

And this was just the beginning.

After the woman unleashed her first strike, her figure vanished again.

When she reappeared, she was at Sarah's side.

It was another sword strike so fast that it was impossible to catch.

"Sizzle!"

[-331,526]

A look of confusion appeared in Sarah's eyes, as she hadn't even caught the enemy's figure.

"Damn it!"

A wave of shame and anger welled up in her heart, and just as she wanted to attack the target, the Valkyrie's figure vanished again.

Furthermore, the frequency of her appearances and the speed of her sword strikes were becoming faster.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

[-346,162]

[-512,661!]

[-352,212]

Five consecutive strikes, and Sarah hadn't blocked a single one!

This woman was now truly like a ghostly phantom.

It sounds slow, but in reality, from the moment this woman unleashed her first strike until now, only one second had passed.

And it looked like she could continue striking!

Cao Xing also realized the terror of this skill.

If this continued, even with Sarah's several million HP, she couldn't withstand being hacked like this by this woman.

Just as Cao Xing was about to use the [Moon God Sealing Orb] to control the Valkyrie Remnant and interrupt her slashing action, a roar rang out.

"Don't you dare hurt my companion!"

Braum used Leap Guardian, instantly jumping to Sarah's side.

Then he raised his shield and slammed it into the ground!

[Glacial Fissure]

[Dodge]!

The Valkyrie Remnant sidestepped, dodging the strike.

Braum roared again.

[Giant's Roar!]

This skill forced aggro, causing the Valkyrie Remnant to switch her target for the slashes.

"Hum!"

[-246,262]

[-372,454!]

[-256,264]

[-267,266]

[-286,623]

…

Braum had also taken five slashing hits.

In other words, her skill could unleash ten consecutive hits of damage, all completed within two seconds.

And not a single strike dealt less than 250,000 damage.

What kind of concept was this?

If not for the 100% HP bonus from the [Pale Tree], both Sarah and Braum would have been instantly killed.

Moreover, Cao Xing's subordinates had many buffs that reduced damage and increased armor.

If it were anyone else, just this one combo would likely have wiped out five or six million HP!

"Absurd…"

Cao Xing looked at the Valkyrie Remnant in shock.

Although he had already highly overestimated his opponent, the combat power she displayed was still somewhat beyond his imagination.

Meanwhile, Isabelle chanted softly.

"Follow the guidance of the Holy Light, and it will bring you redemption."

"Hum!"

A massive healing magic circle with a diameter of over a hundred meters appeared, enveloping Braum, Assam, and Sarah.

It was her skill, [Anthem of Rebirth].

[+105,262]

[+105,262]

[+105,262]

[+105,262]

…

Healing numbers breaking the 100,000 mark appeared, directly pulling Sarah and Braum's HP back to full!

Seeing this, Cao Xing quickly said: "Braum, keep holding her back."

"Everyone else, attack with all your might!"

Bang!

A large ice ball exploded!

Sarah's death gods dagger was also falling crazily.

The Valkyrie Remnant just wanted to attack Sarah, but the blade in her hand involuntarily turned toward Braum.

Braum's taunt skill was mandatory and lasted for a long time; it could be called a god-tier skill for drawing aggro!

For a time, while the target was held back, everyone frantically threw various attacks at the Valkyrie's head.

Even Cao Xing was constantly unleashing powerful spells!

Great Ice Spear!

Ice Soul Spinning Spear!

Summon Frost Spirit!

When he threw another Great Ice Spear, a system prompt appeared.

[Ding! You have used 10 spells, Passive Skill: Ice Crystal Fury has taken effect, the damage and range of the next skill will be increased by 100%]

…

Hearing this prompt, Cao Xing instinctively wanted to use the Forbidden Spell — Doomsday Ice Star!

With over a hundred thousand ice stars crashing down, he didn't believe she could withstand it!

However, Cao Xing looked at the surrounding terrain.

This Sword Mound had already become riddled with holes due to their battle.

At this moment, if he threw another Forbidden Spell, the entire Heritage Ground would most likely be directly collapsed.

Since this Heritage Ground was built inside a mountain, if the mountain collapsed, they would all be buried inside, which would be a huge problem!

Therefore, Cao Xing switched to another skill: Ice Tornado Storm!

This skill not only had high damage but also a smaller range.

"Hum!"

A wave of magical energy emerged.

A massive magic circle enveloped the Valkyrie Remnant.

The intense cold made the temperature of the entire Sword Mound drop by another dozen degrees.

The original temperature of the Sword Mound was around -50°C.

After Winter's Arrival, it reached below -80°C.

Now it was approaching -90°C!

The bone-chilling cold quickly covered the ground in a thick layer of white frost, significantly slowing down movement speed.

Even the Valkyrie Remnant realized the terror of Cao Xing's skill!

Before she could react,

"Roar!!!"

Four Ice Dragons roared as they emerged from the magic circle, beginning to frantically maul the Valkyrie Remnant!

And just the moment he finished casting [Ice Tornado Storm], a prompt appeared!

[Ding! Ancient Winter Robe effect 'Winter's Wheel' has taken effect, this skill's cooldown has been reset.]

…

Cao Xing's face lit up with joy, "Haha! It actually reset!"

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and gestured!

Two more Ice Dragons appeared!

A total of six Ice Dragons were now frantically mauling the Valkyrie Remnant!
