Heading to Phantom Lord

At one o'clock in the morning, the town of Magnolia fell into complete sleep.

Jiang Bai stood silently before the ruins of the Fairy Tail guild, like a statue.

He stayed there for a while.

"Looks like that idiot Natsu still doesn't understand."

Jiang Bai murmured to himself,

"That's right, how can his simple-minded brain compare to mine Brother Monkey?"

"Although I can't compare to Patriarch Puti."

After saying that, to save time, the space in front of him slightly distorted, and the next second, he disappeared from the spot.

Oak Town, at the entrance to the Phantom Lord Guild.

This is a bustling town on par with Magnolia Town. The two major guilds are constantly compared because they each possess one of the Ten Wizard Saints, and their competition has never ceased.

Several years ago, at a president's meeting, Makarov noticed that Jose Bora, who had just been promoted to the Ten Wizard Saints, was becoming arrogant and extreme. In order to make this junior understand that there is always someone better, he personally "educated" him.

As a result, Jose regarded that good intention as a great humiliation and harbored resentment from then on. The Phantom Lord also began to oppose Fairy Tail at every turn.

Jiang Bai stood in the shadows of the Phantom Lord Guild and could clearly hear the shrill sounds of revelry coming from inside.

"Haha, that was great!"

"That's right! We smashed that Fairy Tail guild to pieces, just thinking about it makes me feel so good!"

They must be furious right now!

"Nothing's happened yet. I bet they're too scared to retaliate!"

Just then, a voice rang out. "It's getting late, I have to go now."

Jiang Bai twitched his fingertips slightly, and a "He" of ultimate condensation shot out silently, instantly annihilating the massive iron gate that the Phantom Lord Guild was so proud of into dust.

"Who goes there?!" The commotion inside abruptly ceased.

"Leaving so soon?"

Jiang Bai slowly emerged from the shadows, a smile on his face, but his voice was as cold as ice.

"Let's stay a little longer!"

When the members of the Phantom Lord saw the bright red Fairy Tail symbol on Jiang Bai's wrist, they were first stunned, then burst into laughter.

"So it was Fairy Tail."

"Only one person came? Is he here to die? Brothers, let's attack together!"

Jiang Bai completely ignored their shouts and simply said, "You should be glad that my companions weren't injured."

If these idiots actually dare to lay a hand on guild members, then tonight, everyone here will be wiped out of the world.

But for now, giving them a lesson they'll never forget is enough.

Jiang Bai cracked his knuckles and beckoned to the group rushing towards him with his finger. "Come on!"

He may be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape punishment.

At first, Jiang Bai was quite interested in using his physical skills to precisely break the limbs of everyone who rushed in front of him, the crisp sound of bones shattering echoing in the air.

Soon, some people realized something was wrong; this man was unbelievably strong!

"Monster!"

A Phantom Lord member, trying to escape, let out a terrified scream.

Jiang Bai also felt that solving these problems one by one was too slow.

With a thought, an invisible Telekinesis instantly enveloped the entire guild hall.

Apart from a man covered in iron nails with a fierce look in his eyes, everyone else who was still standing had their limbs twisted and broken at unnatural angles at the same moment, turning the scene into a living hell of wailing cries.

Jiang Bai spared Gajeel not to let him go, but because he knew that this guy was the mastermind behind the guild's destruction.

"It's you, isn't it?"

Jiang Bai looked at Gajeel, the only one still standing.

"They vandalized our guild members."

Gajeel grinned maliciously. "I don't know what you're talking about. All I know is that you've come to our guild to cause trouble, and as Phantom Lord's ace, I have to stop you."

"I heard you're Fairy Tail's ace? Perfect, let's have a contest and see which guild's ace is stronger!"

"Ha, try to stop me? You dare to say that?"

Jiang Bai found it somewhat laughable.

"Want to see my strength? Sure, use your body to feel it."

As soon as the word "ba" was uttered, Jiang Bai's figure vanished from his spot and instantly appeared in front of Gajeel.

"Nani!"

Gajeel's pupils contracted sharply.

Jiang Bai delivered a clean and swift Rising Dragon Fist, striking Gajeel squarely in the chin and sending him flying into the air.

Gajeel tumbled through the air a few times before landing awkwardly. He wiped the blood from his mouth, his eyes gleaming with even greater excitement. "Not bad! Watch this, Iron Dragon's Club!"

His arm instantly transformed into a thick, black iron rod, whistling through the air, and slammed down towards Jiang Bai's head.

Jiang Bai didn't even bother to dodge.

The "Infinity" automatically unfolded, and the powerful iron rod stopped abruptly a few millimeters from his forehead, as if it had struck an invisible wall, unable to go any further.

Physical attacks are completely ineffective against him.

"Let me see just how hard your iron body really is."

Jiang Bai wanted to play around a bit longer, so he didn't use any spells. He simply focused his Telekinesis on the iron rod and applied a little force.

"Snap!"

The incredibly sturdy Iron Dragon's Club snapped in two upon impact.

"Ah--!"

Gajeel let out a cry of pain, and after pulling his arm back, his entire right arm hung limply at his sides.

"Iron Dragon's Roar!"

Gajeel endured the excruciating pain and exhaled a breath mixed with countless pieces of iron.

The result was obvious: it was completely useless!

"Boring."

Jiang Bai shook his head.

"Lie down."

The next second, Gajeel was as if he had been pressed down by an invisible giant hand, and his whole body was slammed to the ground, unable to move.

Jiang Bai slowly walked up to him, looking down at him condescendingly. "Remember, this is the price for provoking the Fairy Tail."

"Go back and tell Jose that if there's a next time, the Phantom Lord will have no reason to exist. I, Jiang Bai, mean what I say, and those old men in the Magic Council can't stop me."

After saying that, Jiang Bai extended a finger and gently tapped Gajeel's forehead.

"Unlimited Void!"

A massive amount of meaningless junk information flooded into Gajeel's brain, enough to give him a headache that lasted all day.

Gajeel's mind was unable to process this information, and he immediately fell into a coma.

After doing all this, Jiang Bai turned and left.

The moment he stepped out of the ruins, the massive Phantom Lords Guild building behind him crumbled into dust in a silent, twisting motion.
