Fairy Tail: I'm invincible when I receive anime characters!

She couldn't withstand Arthur's attack no matter how hard she tried. The attack was so terrifying that even her strongest defensive armor couldn't stop it. This man named Yoriichi Tsugikuni actually blocked it with just a sword and even cut it in half. This was beyond her comprehension.

"This monster..."

Clay stared at Qi Yan in the arena. To outsiders, it seemed that he had been defeated by Qi Yan in one move, but little did they know that he had tested Qi Yan countless times.

This guy is a complete, genuine super monster, so how could such a monster not withstand Arthur's attacks?

But Qi Yan's ability to so easily sever Arthur's strongest move truly startled him.

At this moment, Qi Yan slowly regained consciousness. Only a moment had passed, but he felt as if an hour had gone by.

"Is this what enlightenment is?"

Having read countless cultivation novels, he had some understanding of enlightenment.

He must have just had an epiphany. At this moment, Qi Yan was using magic very smoothly, reaching an extremely high level.

Only someone with Yoriichi Tsugikuni's extraordinary talent could have been able to comprehend and quickly master magic power so soon after he first came into contact with it.

Looking back now, my method of using magic was nothing more than child's play, and could hardly be considered using magic at all.

Just now, by rearranging his magic and concentrating it on the blade, he was able to unleash astonishing destructive power.

Qi Yan looked at Arthur, raised the knife with one hand, and then casually swung it downwards.

Whoosh!

A slash came from Qi Yan's sword.

The slash passed by Arthur, who had no time to react.

Snap!

The massive arena was sliced ​​open with a uniform cut, looking as if it had been cut open like tofu.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw; the commentator even dropped his microphone.

Everyone stared in horror at the huge incision, and the entire venue fell silent.

"This...what is this?"

Qi Yan's attack appeared silent, but the damage it caused was real; many people present could also destroy the walls of the arena.

But the fact that the arena walls were cut so evenly, like tofu, without causing any damage to the surrounding area, is beyond explanation.

Arthur stared blankly at the even cut, his expression a mixture of shock and disbelief.

He originally thought his swordsmanship was only slightly inferior to his opponent's, but now he realized that it was not just slightly inferior, but a world of difference.

Qi Yan sheathed his sword and stood up, saying calmly, "You don't know swordsmanship, so you see me as a frog in a well, peering at the moon in the sky. But when you are lucky enough to become a nine-star swordsman, you will see me as a mayfly looking at the blue sky!"

Boom!

Everyone was shocked by Qi Yan's domineering words. They were too domineering, but almost all the top swordsmen of the entire Kingdom of Sobeia were gathered there, and not a single person uttered a word of rebuttal.

No objection means acceptance.

Arthur's pupils contracted sharply, and then his knees buckled and he knelt on the ground.

"I lost!"

The outcome is decided!

'Winner: Yoriichi Tsugikuni!!!'

"That's incredible!! Absolutely incredible!!"

The winner of the World's Strongest Swordsman Tournament is: Yoriichi Tsugikuni!!!

"The strongest swordsman on the continent of Ishgard!!! Yoriichi Tsugikuni, truly deserving of the title!!!"

"Sword God!! Sword God!! Sword God!!"...

The audience cheered. Most people probably couldn't tell how skilled Qi Yan was with his swordsmanship. They only knew that Qi Yan was extremely strong. Even the strongest nine-star swordsman was like a child who had just started learning swordsmanship in front of Qi Yan.

However, for those swordsmen of seven, eight, and nine stars, Qi Yan's swordsmanship was truly too heaven-defying.

These people listened to the cheers from the audience for Qi Yan's title.

An idea popped into my head.

Could this man really be the Sword God?

They couldn't imagine who, besides the Sword God, could possess such terrifying swordsmanship.

The king, in a fit of rage, smashed the table in front of him.

As the strongest nine-star swordsman of the previous generation, he knew what Qi Yan's sword strike represented, and he was still in shock for a long time.

Many people might think that Qi Yan's last words were an exaggeration, but he didn't feel that it was an exaggeration at all. There was an insurmountable gap between him and the other party.

This is a realm he could never reach, no matter how hard he cultivated.

If he were younger, he would definitely have taken this man as his master no matter the cost. It's just a pity that he is now too old and his physical functions are declining. It's such a shame.

But he was incredibly lucky to have witnessed such swordsmanship in his lifetime.

If I can invite this person to join the fight against the dragon, then this time we will definitely succeed.

a voice sounded.

"Report!!! It's extremely urgent!!!"

A soldier rushed in, looking flustered.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic?!"

"Your Majesty, reports come from our scouts! There's unusual activity in the Demon Forest! At least 100,000 demons are surging towards the city!!!"

"What?! At this time?!"

Upon hearing this, the king's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected such a thing to happen at this time. One hundred thousand demons—that was a huge number. If they weren't handled carefully, the entire city would be in danger of being destroyed.

The king quickly calmed down and gave instructions: "Minister! Immediately summon all soldiers to a state of high alert!"

"Arrange for the city's residents to take refuge in the arena, and at the same time recruit all swordsmen in the city to participate in the battle!!"

Chapter 30 I will take action

The awards ceremony is about to begin!

"Please welcome the winner, Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni, to the stage!!"

Qi Yan stood on the podium, letting out a long sigh of relief: "It's finally over." He was also a little excited, finally about to receive his money—2000 million J, which was equivalent to 100 million RMB. He never dared to dream that he could earn so much money all at once.

"Mr. Yoriichi, after meeting you, I realized what it means to be outmatched and to have a higher level. Thanks to you, I have found my direction."

Arthur looked at Qi Yan with admiration and said that after Qi Yan swung that sword, he had become a complete fan of Qi Yan.

Qi Yan nodded: "You have great talent, whether it's magic or swordsmanship. As long as you practice diligently, I believe your strength will improve even further in a few years."

Just then, a man with a somewhat flustered expression rushed to the commentary booth and whispered something to the commentator.

The commentator was shocked: "What?! This actually happened!"

Then he immediately picked up the microphone and announced:

"We apologize, citizens! The awards ceremony may have to be postponed!"

According to the latest intelligence, at least 100,000 monsters are surging towards this area from the Demon Forest!

His Majesty the King has placed the army on high alert!

"All citizens are hereby ordered to seek refuge at the arena. Those currently there must not leave. The arena serves not only as an arena but also as a refuge for the city. A protective barrier can be activated to repel the monsters' attack. Furthermore, His Majesty the King has summoned all swordsmen within the city to participate in the fight against this monster horde!"

"what?!"

"One hundred thousand demons?!"

"This is way too many!"...

Many people were shocked when they heard about the number of monsters. This number was close to one-tenth of the monsters in the Monster Forest. They had never seen so many monsters attack the city before.

"Those monsters aren't staying put in the Monster Forest; they actually dared to come out! Let them never leave alive!"

"Brothers! The time has come for us to advance to the next level of swordsmanship!!"

"That's right! That's right!!"...

Many swordsmen, upon hearing of the monsters' attack, shouted with righteous indignation.

These swordsmen exist to kill monsters. Monsters themselves have great value, and from the moment they become swordsmen, they will fight monsters.

Qi Yan's expression froze instantly.

No, I was about to collect the money when suddenly the monsters attacked! Couldn't you have waited a few more minutes until I got the money?

Arthur looked at Qi Yan: "Mr. Yoriichi, you will definitely participate in the war, right?"

Qi Yan nodded indifferently.

Arthur exclaimed with delight, "Great! I can see Yoriichi-sensei demonstrating his swordsmanship again!"

"I will intervene, but it depends on the situation. If we encounter any monsters that you are unable to deal with, then I will step in."

"Of course!"

Qi Yan nodded and then strode away, while many swordsmen also headed out of the city.

Seeing that no one was following him, Qi Yan found a secluded corner, deactivated his transformation, and returned to his original form.

Qi Yan suddenly felt like he had gone from being a peerless genius to an idiot.

The disparity in talent is simply too obvious.

"Ugh! What bad luck! I didn't expect a monster tide to come at this time. I can only wait until the monster tide passes before I can claim the prize."

"Citizens! A monster tide is coming! Please proceed to the arena immediately for refuge! I repeat..."

"Citizens! A monster horde is coming! Please proceed to the arena immediately for refuge!"

The piercing sirens blared throughout the city, and many citizens who hadn't gone to the arena to watch the match rushed there.

A short while later, Erza returned to the inn: "Qi Yan! The monster tide is coming, let's go join the battle!"

Qi Yan nodded. Logically speaking, they didn't need to participate in this battle, but Erza's sense of justice wouldn't allow her to stand by and do nothing.

Furthermore, they have already accepted the commission, so if the client encounters any problems, that is their responsibility.

For Qi Yan, the reason was even simpler: he hadn't received his money yet, and the mission wasn't completed.

The two quickly headed towards the city wall.

By this time, the city walls were already packed with people.

"As expected of the land of swordsmen, there are so many swordsmen here."

Erza was very surprised to see so many swordsmen. The Fairy Tail guild only had a little over a hundred people, but the number of swordsmen present had exceeded ten thousand.

Qi Yan was also seeing such a large-scale event for the first time, and he was truly shocked.

Soon, Qi Yan and Erza arrived at the king's side.

"You two have arrived too."

The king was very happy to see Qi Yan and Erza. Although Erza was defeated by Arthur, she was defeated by the strongest swordsman in their Kingdom of Sobea.

Erza's strength is undoubtedly at the level of a nine-star swordsman.

He didn't know Qi Yan's strength, but based on the intelligence and the terrifying damage in the newspaper, there was no doubt that this person's strength was also at the nine-star level.

In the entire Kingdom of Sobeia, the number of nine-star swordsmen, including those who live in seclusion, is no more than ten.

Having two such powerful allies would undoubtedly increase his chances of success.

Erza asked, "Your Majesty, what's going on with this monster tide?"

The king explained, "The appearance of monster tides is uncertain. There will be one or two times a year, more or less. The main reason is that the powerful monsters in the Monster Forest drive away the weak monsters. The weak monsters flee, and gradually a monster tide is formed."

"Small monster tides range from dozens to hundreds of monsters, while large monster tides can number in the tens of thousands. But I've never encountered a monster tide with more than 100,000 monsters in all my years of life."

"So I suspect it's very likely related to the dragon Alazam!"

The king said with a serious expression.

"The Demon Dragon Alazarm..."
