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

If it were before, they would have felt hopeful of victory if Qi Yan had appeared, but now, the vast gap between the dragon and humans only filled them with despair.

"Oh, it's you! I saw what you did just now. You're quite strong. If you submit to me, I might let you live."

The purple-haired youth had a deep impression of Qi Yan. The other party's strength was comparable to that of a lower-level dragon. If the other party belonged to the dragon race, he might pose a threat to him. But he was just a human. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't hurt him at all without the power of a dragon.

Now that he has just been brought back into the light of day, he naturally needs some powerful subordinates to work for him, and this other party is just right.

"Qi Yan, run!!"

Erza shouted at Qi Yan.

She deeply regretted dragging Qi Yan into this. If she hadn't insisted on doing the S-rank mission, Qi Yan wouldn't have been assigned by the guild leader to accompany her, and wouldn't have been caught up in this doomed situation.

The dragons were far too powerful; humans simply couldn't compare to them.

Qi Yan came to Erza's side, bent down and picked her up, then turned and walked away.

An eerie silence fell over the battlefield.

Qi Yan led Erza towards the vicinity of the city wall.

"Qi Yan...you..."

Qi Yan gave Erza a reassuringly bright smile: "Don't worry! I'll handle this guy."

After Qi Yan finished speaking, he turned to look at the purple-haired youth. The purple-haired youth looked at Qi Yan with great interest, wanting to see what new tricks this young man could come up with.

Qi Yan strode towards the purple-haired youth, muttering to himself as he did so:

"Full body takeover! Yoriichi Tsugikuni!!"

Qi Yan took his first step, and the iris of his eyes turned red.

Qi Yan took his second step, and his expression changed slightly. He wore paper earrings with the color red sun on them.

Qi Yan took her fourth step, and her hair began to grow rapidly, turning deep red and ending up in a high ponytail.

Qi Yan took his fifth step, and his clothes changed, transforming into a samurai outfit with a red haori draped over his body.

Qi Yan took his sixth step, and a long sword appeared at his waist.

Qi Yan took his seventh step, and a strange crimson mark, or pattern, appeared on his left forehead.

"Yoichi Tsugikuni!!!"

Everyone except the purple-haired youth was stunned by Qi Yan's transformation.

That look, that posture—anyone who watched the World's Strongest Swordsman Tournament today will never forget it.

This man overwhelmingly crushed all the nine-star swordsmen, becoming the strongest swordsman in the world with his invincible demeanor.

Everyone was very curious about where the other party came from, because a swordsman with such powerful swordsmanship must have already been famous throughout the entire continent of Ishgar.

However, the other party was completely unknown, and no one had ever seen Yoriichi Tsugikuni before this conference.

Furthermore, Yoriichi Tsugikuni disappeared after the tournament ended, and did not even appear during the dangerous monster siege.

Many people thought the other party was scared and ran away, but now they realize they were so wrong. The other party did not leave at all, but saved the country in another identity.

“Yuan…Yuan…Mr. Yuiichi…”

Arthur stared at Qi Yan in disbelief, unsure whether to address him as Yoriichi Tsugikuni or by his real name. He was so shocked that his mind was buzzing, even more so than when he learned that the purple-haired youth was a demonic dragon.

"Just call me Qi Yan. Yoriichi Tsugikuni is my alias."

After all, it's someone else's name, so it doesn't sound quite right to me.

"Yes Yes!"

"Mr. Qi Yan...you...how could you...?"

The old king was also somewhat bewildered at this point.

"I'm so sorry, Your Majesty! I'm rather poor. I saw that the prize money was quite generous, so I participated. I never expected to win the championship by accident. I hope the champion will receive the prize money?"

"This... it's possible to issue them, but the country..."

The old king also wanted to give out bonuses, but now that the country was about to be destroyed, no amount of money would make a difference.

Qi Yan chuckled and said, "That's easy, just kill it."

Chapter 37 It hurt it

Everyone was startled by Qi Yan's words.

This is a legendary dragon!!

They used to think that a single dragon could destroy a country, but after seeing it with their own eyes today, they realized that it wasn't an exaggeration, but a fact.

The purple-haired youth continued to watch Qi Yan with great interest, completely ignoring what Qi Yan was saying.

Many people are incompetent but love to boast.

In his view, these words were nothing more than the incompetent barking of insects.

"So...when are you going to let go of my client?"

Qi Yan looked at the purple-haired youth and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the purple-haired youth's lips curled slightly, and he gripped the king's neck with his right hand, lifting him high into the air.

He looked at Qi Yan with a playful expression and said, "If you're so capable, then come and take it yourself."

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Qi Yan slowly drew his sword, then strode towards the purple-haired youth.

The purple-haired youth had already planned out the next part of the story. He would have this human attack him, making him realize the vast difference between humans and dragons, and then crush the king in front of him like an ant. Yes, that's how it would be. To dragons, humans are practically no different from ants.

Qi Yan walked up to the purple-haired youth in a short while, casually swung his knife at the youth's wrist, the speed neither fast nor slow, just like the most ordinary knife swing.

The purple-haired youth didn't care at all; such a slow sword swing couldn't possibly cause any damage.

But just as Qi Yan's blade touched his skin, he felt his hair stand on end and instinctively sensed a terrifying danger.

The purple-haired youth immediately released the king, then rapidly retreated, sliding dozens of meters on the ground to create distance between himself and Qi Yan. At the same time, his eyes reverted to their wild, vertical pupils, his gaze fixed intently on Qi Yan as if he had spotted some dangerous figure.

"What?!!"

"what happened?!"

"That monster actually retreated?!"

"It didn't dodge Arthur's strongest attack, but it was frightened and retreated when faced with Mr. Qi Yan's ordinary strike?!"...

Everyone who witnessed this scene was somewhat incredulous, after all, they had just seen how terrifying the opponent's defense was, and that neither His Majesty the King, Arthur, Clay, nor Erza's attacks could cause any damage to the opponent.

They even thought that humans couldn't do anything to the dragon, but the dragon retreated in the face of Qi Yan's attack.

And judging from his wary expression, he clearly sensed danger.

Qi Yan shook his head. He had tried his best to suppress all his killing intent, but the dragon was indeed a dragon, and its instinct to sense danger was still remarkable.

If this guy hadn't retreated, I could have chopped off one of his claws.

"You guy..."

The purple-haired youth's eyes were no longer playful; instead, he looked at Qi Yan with the gaze one would give an enemy.

Qi Yan ignored the purple-haired youth and looked at the somewhat bewildered old king, saying, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Qi Yan's question, the king snapped out of his daze and replied, "No...it's nothing!"

"It's good that you're alright. If you're alright, please go back into the city. I'll handle this guy."

The king wanted to say something more, but it didn't seem like the right time to speak.

"Alright! I'll leave everything to you!"

Having said that, the king loudly commanded, "Everyone! Retreat back into the city!!!"

Upon hearing the king's order, everyone helped the injured and quickly retreated back into the city. Everyone knew that they couldn't be of any help here, and might even be more of a hindrance. In order not to affect Qi Yan's performance, retreating into the city was the best choice.

The purple-haired youth sneered, "What's the use of withdrawing? In the eyes of our dragon race, this kind of wall is no different from paper."

"And you, human kid, do you want to be a hero?"

"A hero? I've already been a hero, so what's wrong with being one again?"

"Interesting, kid. Once you die, everyone after you will die."

"Is that so? Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I did my best. Maybe this is just fate!"

"Since that's the case, then you might as well die!!"

The purple-haired youth swung his claws, and five enormous beast claws slashed towards Qi Yan.

The ground that the slash passed through was ground away as if it were tofu.

Qi Yan lightly touched the ground with his feet, dodging the attack.

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! !

The strike landed on the city wall, which was hundreds of meters high and had withstood countless years of wind and rain, as well as attacks by demons, and shattered like tofu.

The slashing did not stop after it damaged the city wall, but continued forward.

In the blink of an eye, it traversed the entire city, only stopping after destroying the wall on the other side.

"The city... has been cleaved open—!!!"

Everyone stared in horror at the city torn in two, shock and fear spreading uncontrollably through their hearts. Such immense power, such terrifying destructive force—could such a creature truly be a match for humanity?

"Hey! If you're going to fight, then fight! Don't damage other people's property! This is a house that someone worked hard to save up for half their life and even took out a loan to buy. If you just destroy it like this, won't all their hard work have been for nothing?"

The people on the city wall were speechless upon hearing this; this was hardly the time to talk about houses.

"Ah! Sorry! But these things are too fragile. But don't worry, I'll kill them all, so they'll never have to worry about paying their mortgages again."

As the purple-haired youth spoke these words, he grinned maliciously and stomped his foot, charging towards Qi Yan. His claws, wreathed in dragon power, swung towards Qi Yan, threatening to tear the human apart if he were hit by this attack.

"Breath of the Sun - Fourth Form - Phantom Sun Rainbow!"

The purple-haired youth's hand swept across Qi Yan's body.

The sensation of not hitting anything startled him slightly. He had seen with his own eyes that what he attacked was actually an illusion, and he hadn't even noticed it with his dragon-like eyesight.

Qi Yan appeared beside the purple-haired youth.

"Breath of the Sun, First Form: Waltz!!"

Qi Yan unleashed a circular Yang Yan slash, aiming for the purple-haired youth's neck. The purple-haired youth's expression changed, and he quickly raised his arm to block.

"Pfft!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuah!!"

Blood splattered everywhere, and the purple-haired youth screamed as he was sent flying backward.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!

The purple-haired youth smashed through trees one by one before finally coming to a stop against a giant tree.

"It's hurt!!"

Chapter 38 The Thirteenth Form

The crowd on the city wall cheered at the sight. Just now, neither His Majesty the King nor Arthur and the others could harm the purple-haired youth, but Qi Yan's attack had injured him. Now they understood why the other party had been so frightened by Qi Yan's attack that he had retreated immediately.

There is still hope! Humanity has a chance to defeat the dragon!!

The king stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

"He managed to injure a dragon without using Dragon Slayer Magic? This...this is unbelievable!!"

"Truly worthy of being called Yoriichi, no, Mr. Qi Yan! This swordsmanship has reached its pinnacle!"

Arthur was incredibly excited to see this. Every time he saw Qi Yan's swordsmanship, it was like his understanding of swordsmanship was being refreshed.

"What a monster..."

At this point, Clay could only be described as a monster. He had personally attacked the enemy and originally intended to sever his neck, but in the end, his own blade broke.

Faced with Qi Yan's attack, the monster had no choice but to defend itself.
