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

However, the appearance of Yoriichi Tsugikuni completely shattered their understanding of swordsmanship, revealing that swordsmanship could have such a high level.

"So strong!!"

Erza's eyes lit up as she looked at Qi Yan. She had never imagined that someone's swordsmanship could be so high. Just watching from a distance, she felt that she had benefited a lot.

If she could fight him, how much her swordsmanship would improve! At this moment, she desperately wanted to fight him.

Arthur clenched his fist, saying nothing, but his heart was filled with excitement. He needed to adjust his mindset to prepare for the battle against this man.

He could sense that if he could defeat this opponent, his swordsmanship and strength would reach a new level.

"Next up is the final round, which will begin in one hour. In the meantime, please enjoy a fantastic performance from our adorable fencing babes!!"

A group of beautiful girls dressed in slightly revealing outfits appeared on stage and performed a hot dance.

Qi Yan returned to the rest room to deactivate his transformation and get some rest.

"Phew! This money really wasn't easy to earn!!"

Fortunately, it wasn't a continuous battle, otherwise I would have been exposed.

Yoriichi's mana consumption is very low when he doesn't fight, but once he starts fighting, his mana consumption is very fast, and his mana is still too low.

The opponent's sudden burst of strength was also terrifying, even surpassing Erza's.

Fortunately, Yoriichi Tsugikuni is strong enough, otherwise it would have been really difficult to defeat this guy. This world is indeed full of hidden talents, and I need to keep drawing cards.

An hour passed quickly, and Qi Yan's magic power had almost fully recovered.

"Everyone!! The exciting grand finals are finally here!!"

"Now, please welcome our two finalists to the stage!!!"

Qi Yan stepped forward, and Arthur also walked out from the opposite direction.

"The two finalists are Arthur and Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Arthur needs no introduction; he's the strongest swordsman in our Kingdom of Sobea."

"Master Yoriichi Tsugikuni easily defeated two nine-star swordsmen. His unparalleled swordsmanship showed us what it truly means that there are always people more skilled than you, and that there is always something beyond your reach."

"We don't know which of these two swordsmen will ultimately claim the title of the world's strongest swordsman, nor do we know what kind of spectacular battle they will deliver. Let's all wait and see!!!"

“OO ...

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

"Arthur!! Arthur!! Arthur!!!"...

The audience was chanting the names of the two fighters wildly, while the other high-level swordsmen were all focused on watching the upcoming battle. The duel between the top swordsmen would be incredibly beneficial to them, and if they were lucky enough to learn something from it, they might even be able to break through and become nine-star swordsmen. This would be a tremendous opportunity for them.

The Grand Finals!!!

"The Nine-Star Swordsman, the Swordsman of Light, Arthur, VS. The God of Swordsmanship, Yoriichi Tsugikuni!"

"Now!!"

"start---!!!"

Clang!

The gong sounded, announcing the official start of the finals.

"A dazzling display of light!!!"

The moment the gong rang, an attack with an extremely wide range was unleashed, with countless lightsabers shooting towards Qi Yan.

Arthur didn't waste any words. Speaking at this moment would only make him seem less imposing. Only with an unwavering belief in victory could he unleash his full potential.

"Breath of the Sun, Land Form, Scorching Sun!!"

Qi Yan swung his sword, unleashing a spinning Yang Yan slash that shredded all the lightsabers.

"Flash Slash Cross Slash!!"

Arthur unleashed a cross-shaped slash of light.

"Breath of the Sun, Twelfth Form: Flame Dance!!"

Qi Yan also unleashed two consecutive semi-circular attacks, forming a cross shape to meet the attack head-on.

boom----! !

Chapter 28 Epiphany

The two slashes collided, unleashing a terrifying impact that shattered the surrounding ground.

"Flash Thrust!!"

Arthur stomped his foot and rushed towards Qi Yan, raising his sword to thrust at Qi Yan.

"Sun Breathing - Seventh Form - Yanghua Thrust!!"

Qi Yan was enveloped in flames, and he raised his sword with both hands to launch a swift thrust.

Clang!

The tips of their swords clashed, a collision of light and flame.

Boom boom boom boom—!

The ground beneath their feet and around them exploded with a deafening roar, the shockwave spreading rapidly outwards.

"Flash Sword!!!"

Arthur's sword moved with lightning speed.

Qi Yan swung his knife and blocked all of Arthur's attacks.

"Sun Breathing - Eighth Form - Flying Wheel Blaze!"

Qi Yan's blade tip trembled like sunlight, and Arthur immediately retreated to dodge. Just when he thought he had dodged and was about to counterattack...

Suddenly! His expression changed, and the blade, which had looked short, seemed to suddenly grow longer. Arthur had no time to dodge.

Arthur was slashed and a wound was cut into his body.

Arthur swiftly swung his sword in a sweeping motion.

"Sun Breathing - Ninth Form - Sunset Turn!"

Qi Yan leaped up and flipped, dodging Arthur's attack while simultaneously slashing horizontally with his sword.

This unexpected attack sent a chill down Arthur's spine. He quickly ducked to avoid it, but the long sword slashed across his head, lifting a strand of hair.

Before Arthur could react, Qi Yan's next attack arrived.

"Breath of the Sun, Land Form, Scorching Sun!!"

The spinning Yangyan slash struck Arthur directly.

"Ughhhhhh!!"

Arthur cried out in pain as he was sent flying by the slash.

boom----! !

Arthur crashed into the inner wall, shattering it.

"Whoa!! Arthur has been knocked away by Yoriichi Tsugikuni!! Is this the end of the battle?!"

Arthur forced himself to stand up.

"Not yet!!" Arthur stood up again!

"As expected of Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni, I originally wanted to fight him in close combat and settle the score, but it seems I was too overconfident." When he actually faced Qi Yan, he finally understood why Clay had been running around like a frightened rabbit.

Before each of Qi Yan's attacks, he seemed to see an illusion of being killed, but he used his strong willpower to prevent himself from being disturbed by the illusion.

They even predicted Qi Yan's attack method in advance based on the illusion.

But he realized that he had overestimated himself. He thought he was fighting Qi Yan with his own strength, but Qi Yan's attack just now seemed to be telling him just how huge the gap was between him and his opponent.

Qi Yan didn't say anything. To be honest, he had a chance to kill the opponent instantly when he got close, but that would be a bit disrespectful. After all, the opponent was the strongest swordsman in the Kingdom of Sobea. If he killed him so easily, it would be a bit disrespectful to the host.

Cannibals are soft and short.

He planned to end the fight after a brief exchange.

The opponent's swordsmanship was not weak, but his swordsmanship was even stronger.

"But I also want to see what the real difference is between me and Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni?"

Arthur gripped the sword with both hands, holding it to his chest, and magic rapidly gathered in his hands.

The light from the sword shot into the sky, forming a huge golden lightsaber, the very move he used against Erza. However, this time Arthur had clearly gathered even stronger magic power.

Qi Yan disliked this kind of guy who recklessly used his full power; what was supposed to be a swordsmanship contest turned into a magic contest.

The opponent's attack had such a long wind-up; frankly, that was enough time for him to kill the opponent several times over.

Even without killing the opponent, Qi Yan could easily dodge.

But he couldn't do that; interrupting at this point would be beneath him. He couldn't fight, and he couldn't dodge, so he had no choice but to fight head-on.

Qi Yan infused his magic into the sword.

But just as he poured the energy into the sword, a strange feeling arose in Qi Yan's mind.

Looking at the magic power flowing into the sword in his palm through the transparent world, coupled with the sensation of magic power in his body, made him feel as if he were experiencing magic power for the first time.

His mind became incredibly active, with countless thoughts and insights surging within him.

Qi Yan didn't know what this feeling was, but he could sense that this was an enormous opportunity for him, and if he missed it, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Qi Yan chose to forget everything and immerse himself completely in the ocean of consciousness.

Arthur had also finished charging up his power, and a giant lightsaber tens of meters long formed from golden energy stood in the arena, just like the legendary holy sword.

Arthur saw Qi Yan staring blankly and wondered what the other was doing. Why wasn't he in a fighting stance? Whether he was going to dodge or fight head-on, there should have been some warning.

But the other person just stood there, completely still.

However, he didn't have time to think about what Qi Yan wanted to do. His move was already fully charged and he had to attack.

"Radiant Judgment!!"

He held the sword with both hands and roared as he slashed downwards.

The enormous lightsaber, like a divine sword, cleaved down towards Qi Yan with a force as Arthur swung his sword, as if splitting the heavens and earth.

Qi Yan seemed to have no time to react, or perhaps he forgot to react, or perhaps he simply ignored it.

He neither dodged nor prepared to defend himself, but simply stood motionless in place. Only when the sword was about to strike him did his body instinctively and slowly raise the sword in his hand to defend.

But how could a single sword possibly withstand such an attack? When Arthur attacked Erza, Erza released a magical barrier, which was torn apart, and even her shield and armor were shattered.

This time, Arthur's attack was significantly more powerful than his attack on Erza. Everyone thought Qi Yan was doomed and couldn't bear to see him cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

Bang!

A crisp sound rang out, followed by a scene that shocked, stunned, and left everyone in disbelief.

The blade of the golden greatsword clashed with Qi Yan's blade, but instead of the scene that everyone expected—Qi Yan's blade being easily shattered—Arthur's golden greatsword broke in two.

That's right! It was snapped in two, as if cut by something incredibly sharp, and then the golden greatsword turned into specks of light and vanished.

The entire venue fell silent. Arthur himself stood there, stunned, his eyes glazed over.

Chapter 29 Monster Siege

"How...how...how...how is this possible?!"

"It's...it's broken!!"

'Arthur's Light of Judgment has actually been severed!!!'

What on earth happened?!

The commentator was also stunned at this moment, and he stammered as he didn't understand what was going on.

Arthur's 'Light of Judgment' is his ultimate move, which has always been invincible. Its power is not only earth-shattering, but also extremely terrifying. To this day, he has never seen anyone who can withstand Arthur's move.

"What exactly is going on?"

Erza was also unsure of what was going on, but as the one who had personally taken Arthur's attack, she had a lot to say about it.
