According to the information provided by the mysterious honored guest, the existence of Valkyrie was among the people of the Hall of Heroic Spirits who deserved attention. This was the only woman on the danger list, so when Bauer saw the woman rushing toward him wrapped in the flames of energy, he knew it was Valkyrie.

However, even though Duo Mu could tell that he was a powerhouse of the ninth step, it was not something mentioned in the information. In fact, the information provided by the mysterious VIP was very limited. After all, the main transaction between the Parkland chauffeur and him was to open the back door to the three killers. As such, that information was just an additional gift, so it was naturally not that detailed. Dom could tell with a single glance that Valkyrie was a powerhouse of the ninth step, but that was because of the layer of energy flames enveloping her.

This was the special battle qi unique to combat experts. It was similar to a fake domain.

Regardless of which domain it was, when one's body evolved to the ninth step, it would produce an external spark of energy when one opened their full strength. This layer of energy is called a pseudo-domain and can be regarded as a fundamental evolutionary manifestation of biological energy. Each domain had a different name for this power. For example, the Combat Domain was called Battle Qi, the Elemental Domain was called the Magic Forbidden Area, the Mutation Domain was called the Fury of the Ancestors, and the Perception Domain was called the Force Field. The uses of various pseudo-domains vary according to the user, so they are difficult to coordinate with.

The appearance of a false domain meant that the possessor had the potential to evolve to the 12th step, or the final extreme of the 13th step. A person who possesses a pseudo-domain is as important to him as a nuclear weapon is to a nation. If the list of dangers provided by the mysterious honored guest had a fake domain like the one provided by Valkyrie, then the Heroic Spirit Hall would at least have five powerhouses of the ninth step or above.

It had to be known that in the entire central continent, only the Dark Council held seven powerhouses of the ninth step or above. With five members from the Hall of Heroic Spirits, it was no wonder that they could contend against the strongest overlord of the continent.

However, now was not the time to lament over the strength of the enemy. Almost at the same time Bauer signalled to him, Günabel had already used all of her abilities. His entire body started to deform. In just two or three seconds, other than his head, the rest of his body had turned into countless thorny vines.

Bauer told him to leave first, but it wasn't because of how generous the Great Swordmaster was. It was that, of the three of them, Gunnar had the best chance of escaping. For when he was transformed into a man of thorns, his hardness was no less than the countless thorns of the alloy that could tear the earth apart and roam freely beneath the earth like the roots of plants buried deep in the earth. As for the other two, although Bauer's agility was also enhanced, he was not very good at speed, so his chances of escaping from a powerhouse of the ninth step's sight were low. As for Duo Mu, he was not good at speed, and naturally had no chance of escaping.

Moreover, if the two of them deliberately tried to escape, they would easily lose their lives under their opponent's rainbow-like aura. Rather than fighting to the death, he might have a glimmer of hope.

When Gunabel sank into the ground beneath the snow, Valkyrie suddenly felt a presence disappear from his senses. The War Goddess couldn't help but let out a slight "hmm", but her speed didn't slow down at all.

In this environment, the only way to escape Varky's senses was to bury yourself in the radiation snow. However, there was no difference between that and nature. The reason why she was able to escape the War Goddess' perception was because of the intense radiation in the snow that disturbed her perception. However, even Valkyrie did not dare to bury himself in the snow, let alone a powerhouse of the sixth to seventh step.

But Valkyrie was not distracted by this. For her, she had only to go back and catch a rat. Thus, before the eyes of Bauer and Dom, the flames of battle qi around Valkyrie grew brighter and brighter. In the end, they were like a giant fireball that flew towards them.

"She's here. Be careful!" Bauer bellowed, his two-handed broadsword he'd pulled from the metal box long ago reaching over his head.

As his eyes flashed over the sight of the spear coming at him, Bauer's face turned blood-red. His broadsword disappeared into the air, and when it reappeared, it had already landed on the tip of the spear.

There was surprise in Valkyrie's eyes, and then both she and Bauer were drowned in the energy of the explosion.

A circular shockwave spread out with the two as the center, and a layer of circular snow waves was formed on the snowfield near the two of them. Snowwaves shot straight up into the sky. The snowflakes that weighed several tons were turned into powder by the intense energy, and then slowly fell down.

Amidst the exploding light, a deep red energy shock wave penetrated through the light, directly plowing a hideous scar that was nearly a hundred meters long in the snow.

The corners of Domina's eyes, hidden in her hood, jumped as she saw the gash of snow created by the blood energy. That Blood Power Wave was Boyle's trump card skill, "Blood Blade Impact." It was a terrifying attack from Baoer that instantly sacrificed several hundred milliliters of his blood, turning it all into boiling energy.

Not long ago, Dom had seen Bauer use this trick to destroy three armored war chariots in a straight line.

Now, Valkyrie of the Hall of Heroic Spirits had taken the trick head-on. If not for the fact that he was a powerhouse of the ninth step, Domme was certain that his opponent would have been torn to shreds by those terrifying blood blades. However, the layer of flames of battle qi on Val's body reminded him not to be careless. When Bauer faced Val directly, Dom, who had already retreated to the side, reached out his hand from his black robe.

His five fingers moved rhythmically, and clumps of dark elements were continuously sent into the pile of snow. The next moment, the snowdrift began to shake violently, and layers of snow began to flow from Dom's feet in the direction of the Valkyrie. When Xue Lang rushed out of the seventh layer, a snow-white monster rushed out from the pile of snow, pouncing towards the gradually dimming energy flame.

These were seven gorilllike monsters. They were about 250 cm tall, and their muscles could clearly be seen. The sharp teeth protruding from their mouths all the way to their chins. The monster let out a roar that sounded like the hollow sound created by the wind and snow. If one were to look at Duo Mu, they would notice that almost all of the snowdrifts on the dark puppeteer's ground had disappeared.

The amount of snow that had disappeared was the total weight of these Snow Demon monsters. They were not natural creatures, but snow puppets created by Dom through the use of dark elements and magic.

The appearance of Snow Demon showed that these Snow Puppets focused on strength and agility. They were naturally born melee warriors.

However, as they closed in, a long spear suddenly thrust out from within the halo of energy.

The battle spear pierced through the Snow Puppets seven times, striking their chests at almost the same time. Every time the battle spear struck a snow puppet, a mass of pitch-black energy would float out from the puppet's back. The ball of energy stayed in the air for two or three seconds before fading into nothingness. As for the Snow Puppet, it had lost the power of the dark elements. Its eyes lost its luster in the air, and with a loud bang, it shattered into countless snowflakes and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Bauer had to continuously retreat five steps before he was able to stabilize himself in the snow.

The broadsword in both hands drooped limply, the tip of the sword sticking into the snow to support Bauer's body. After using the skill that was activated at the cost of his blood, the big Russian's face was as pale as that of Günabel. However, after a few breaths, it quickly returned to its normal color. He held the broadsword in one hand, the point pointing straight at the Valkyrie as it emerged from the last of the light.

A thread of blood dripped from Bauer's ruptured mouth and dripped into the snow like a few plum blossoms.

Looking at the graceful figure that was engulfed in flames of battle qi, Power couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Facing a powerhouse of the ninth step, he immediately used his trump card. But not only had Varkiri managed to fend off the attack, he was unharmed, and he even managed to pierce Dom's seven Snow Puppets.

Baobao was very clear that Dom's puppet was not that easy to break up. A puppet with dark elements at its core, as long as the dark elements do not perish, the puppet will be able to endlessly regenerate. This is also the magic treasure that Domirov wielded in his hands. But Valkyrie's seemingly casual attack not only accurately identified the location of the dark elements within the golem, but could also take it out of the golem's body. In order to do that, one had to have a good eyesight and an accurate grasp of the source of the energy.

While Bauer was shocked by the power of Valkyrie, the goddess of war frowned slightly. Originally, according to her calculations, when Bauer attacked, she would direct the opponent's attack in another direction. As for her, after getting rid of Bauer, the first thing she did was to clean up the other one, who had the scent of dark elements.

Elemental domain experts would usually attack from a distance, but if there was an Elemental Domain expert standing in their way, then Valkyrie would have to spend a lot of time to kill the Grand Swordmaster, Bauer.

However, what she did not expect was that not only was Bauer's sword Qi attack extremely powerful, it was also concentrated. The density of the energy was so great that it could not be guided by any other means and could be withstood. Naturally, with Valkyrie's power, this level of sword energy was not enough to threaten her life, but it was more than enough to stop her.

When the first group met, neither side seemed to be able to do anything to each other. Therefore, the two sides began to prepare a second wave of attacks. The battle qi on Valkyrie's body suddenly flared up, as if throwing solid fuel into a bonfire. While it was boiling over, it was also expanding its home field. In just a few seconds, the air of war had already engulfed almost a thousand meters of space!

In this battle qi covered space, Duo Mu and Bauer could feel the varying degrees of spiritual oppression. In their eyes, Valkyrie was as mighty as a god, causing them to almost kneel down in worship. They all knew that this was caused by the false domain that Valkyrie had unfurled, and that his domain was acting as a spiritual suppression. A person with an ability that was being suppressed would have to be on par with the War Goddess. Otherwise, under this all-pervasive suppression, their battle strength would plummet.

Valkyrie, who was in the midst of his battle qi, looked at the two and said coldly, "Let the second round begin!"

(I'm sorry to have to start this week.) But last Friday was very ill. Going to the hospital was hypokalemia, so he had been resting at home for the last few days. Monday and Monday's and Two's manuscripts were all in their original manuscripts and had now been sent out. For the next two days, I'll have to keep it — more — until Saturday. There's still next Monday's grand seal, and I'd like to try it out to see if I can make it five and a half million words on the day of my recommendation. I hope that, on account of my perseverance and hard work, you will give me more subscriptions and motivation. Thank you everyone.)
