CHAPTER 549: AFTER MODIFICATION: CHAPTER 4 POWERFUL OPPORTUNITIES IN PLANE WAR

The stoic girl Qiana received Lin Rui’s command, responded with a simple "mm," and leapt straight into action.

She was a Valkyrie, a being capable of causing chaos when she charged alone into the demon army, leaving countless demons in her wake like a celestial shower of blossoms scattered.

With only twelve Great Demons present, she didn’t even change form, leaping into the air as shining golden arrows shot forth.

Faced with a Legendary-level Valkyrie, the twelve Heroic Spirit-level Great Demons stood no chance of counterattack; they fell like raindrops, perishing so swiftly that the flames on their bodies didn’t extinguish, resembling fireballs plummeting to the ground, a rain of fire from the sky!

This scene directly stunned countless Explorers and their armies who looked up in awe.

[Evaluation: Extremely Dangerous (Blood Red)]—Not a single exaggerated word!

This was an Epic-level Super-Tier Great Demon capable of slaughtering countless mortal armies, yet they were instantly shot down in the air.

The Explorers could hardly imagine how tragic it would be to encounter such a dangerous being. The passive oppressive damage alone from such a creature would crush them like ants.

Qiana, who had directly slain twelve Great Demons, tilted her head expressionlessly and looked at Noesen. Clearly, she couldn’t understand what he was doing.

Where is your backup plan?

Even if this was a test or an ambush, some reaction should follow the slaying of those twelve Great Demons, right?

And Noesen did react; he roared uncontrollably, "My Heroic Spirit-level Demons!"

A squad of Heroic Spirit-level Super-Tier Great Demons!

This was by no means a small number. After all, even the Golden Pansy Domain had only a few squads of Super-Tier units.

Noesen went into a berserk transformation, the gruesome black-red Demon Power engulfing him, with dense black smoke emanating from his scales and claws, and his eyes turning a vivid green, shining with a strange light.

His massive black wings expanded to over sixteen meters tall, spreading in the sky like a demon under the moon, and he flew directly toward Qiana.

This speed might have already surpassed ten times the speed of a griffin, covering thousands of meters in a second, trailing afterimages.

The Explorers collectively gasped; this kind of speed was completely indefensible. It was akin to holding an electromagnetic gun, where the target was out of range, and in the blink of an eye, the opponent was already in front of them, piercing through their body.

Moreover, it was true damage; no shield or defense would be effective.

The Demon Hunter’s ability was astonishingly powerful to an unimaginable extent.

But just as everyone thought there was no way to defend against this, the next second, a clear sound rang through the skies.

"Slap!" A crisp slap landed directly on Noesen’s face, as if hitting every Explorer’s face!

Numerous people couldn’t help but cover their left cheeks. Got slapped?

Got slapped!

Such a terrifying creature, such a powerful Demon Hunter, was sent flying with just a slap!?

Noesen also looked unbelievably shocked, covering his face and staring at the indifferent stoic girl in front of him!

Why was true damage being blocked?

What kind of terrifying trait was this?

[Ice Skin Jade Bone·Super-Tier Trait: Through relentless training with the Power of Cold, the Valkyrie can now substitute ice for true flesh. Physique +10, Physique converted to Life Value +100%, Life Value +5000. When attacked, a thick layer of ice armor instantly forms, absorbing all damage with Spiritual Energy (including true damage), placing the Valkyrie in a cold, deadly state, with the next attack carrying 80% of the damage received.]

In reality, true damage cannot be blocked.

Qiana had indeed suffered damage, but since she possessed Ice Skin Jade Bone, her Spiritual Energy Value could be used as Life Value, directly depleting her Spiritual Energy. It was as if the demon’s flames had already burned through her ice-and-snow-made bones and flesh.

But in Noesen’s eyes, Qiana’s Life Value seemed untouched, while his strike, laden with true damage, didn’t even break her thick white ice armor and shield.

And this girl, in response, contemptuously slapped him away.

On this point, he wasn’t wrong. A mere epic-level Tier Five Demon Hunter was insignificant before a Legendary Super-Tier Valkyrie.

If Qiana didn’t intend to see what he was planning, she could easily crush him.

Yet, Noesen refused to accept this disparity. If Lin Rui could casually dispatch a soldier to beat him, what did his provocation mean?

The next moment, he crazily lunged, his claws slashing wildly, continuously attempting to bite around Qiana.

The battlefield seemed fierce, but the Explorers on the ground were utterly dumbfounded.

They saw this stunning girl standing in mid-air expressionlessly, swaying gently with the wind, her long hair flowing, while Noesen seemed to have mastered the art of attacking thin air.

[MISS]

[MISS]

[MISS]

[MISS]

A barrage of MISS displayed, purely a collision of mechanisms.

Noesen’s extreme output couldn’t hit the target at all.

He roared angrily, but to no avail.

Eventually, after a long while, Qiana was certain he had nothing more up his sleeve.

Then Qiana’s longbow transformed into a spear, which she swiftly hurled.

The spear, radiant with golden light, cut through the sky like a comet, its light stretching thousands of meters as it pierced through to the ground, pinning Noesen down.

Countless people lost control of their facial expressions, madly covering their wide-open mouths.
