In the awed gaze of everyone, a tall man with a sinewy face slowly stood up. He swallowed the last lump of iron in his mouth and glanced at Lu Chongwei with contempt.
"Who did I think it was? It turns out to be the legendary 'Sun God' from Fairy Tail."
The person who came was none other than Phantom Lord's ace, Gajeel Leitfox, who was known as Iron Dragon Slayer.
Seeing Gajeel on the stage, the originally panicked Phantom Lord Mages suddenly seemed to have found their backbone and instantly regained their confidence.
"It's Lord Gajeel!"
"Hahaha, this kid is dead! How dare you offend Mr. Gajeel!"
"Kill him! Lord Gajeel! Let these goblin trash know how powerful we Phantom Lord are!"
For a moment, noisy shouts resounded through the hall again, and their eyes when they looked at Lu Chongwei changed from fear to compassion and cruelty like looking at a dead person.
Lu Chongwei shook off the non-existent dust on his hands, his eyes were cold and fixed on Gajeel's body.
"You are the one who destroyed the guild and injured my companions?"
Gajeel grinned a cruel smile and admitted disdainfully, "Yes, I did it, how about it? The screams of those losers are really beautiful."
He paused, remembering something interesting, and the sarcasm on his face became even stronger.
"Oh, by the way, especially the blue-haired girl, her name is Levy, right? The way she screamed in fright, tsk tsk, really makes me excited!"
When the two words Levy came out of Gajeel's sarcastic mouth, the suppressed terrifying aura around Lu Chongwei suddenly exploded!
Boom--!!!
A terrifying spiritual pressure that was about to burn everything to the ground swept out with him as the center like Solar Storm! The Ryujin Jakka in his hand came out in response, and the blade instantly ignited with raging golden flames, illuminating the entire dim hall like daylight!
"Shikai--"
No, not even Shikai is needed!
Lu Chongwei's eyes burning with golden flames were filled with endless rage and murderous intent. He clenched the handle of the knife and fiercely waved the flames in his hand at the entire world in front of him!
"Fire Encirclement!"
There are no unnecessary movements, just the purest and most violent sweep!
The next second, an earth-shattering explosion exploded! A ring-shaped wall of fire that could swallow everything swept through the entire Phantom Lord Guild hall in an instant with overwhelming force!
"Ahhhhh--!!!"
"Help! It's so hot!"
Those Phantom Lord Mage who were still shouting didn't even have time to react, and were instantly engulfed by the violent flames. They screamed miserably in the flames, like ignited scarecrows, and were knocked down one by one, their bodies charred and black, and they couldn't stop wailing.
Rumble--!
The entire guild shook violently under this terrifying blow, the walls cracked, the tables and chairs turned into charcoal, and the hall instantly turned into a mess of ruins in a sea of fire!
Gajeel crawled out from the pile of burning ruins in embarrassment. His clothes were burned to tatters, and his face and body were covered with burn marks.
He looked at the hell-like scene in front of him with disbelief, and then looked at the unharmed man standing with a knife.
He never imagined that this man would almost severely damage their entire guild with just one blow!
"You guy..." Gajeel gritted his teeth and looked fiercely.
As Lu Chongwei approached him step by step, he shouted loudly, and his right hand instantly turned into a ferocious iron pillar several meters long, with a whistling sound that ripped through the air, and reached Lu Chongwei's abdomen!
However, in the face of this sudden sneak attack, Lu Chongwei didn't even raise his eyelids.
He just stretched out his left hand lightly.
"Dang--!"
There was a loud sound of metal colliding, and the iron pillar that was enough to penetrate the steel plate was easily grabbed by Lu Chongwei with his fleshy palm!
Gajeel's eyes widened. He wanted to pull the iron pillar back, but found that the iron pillar seemed to be welded to death and was motionless!
What frightened him even more was that unimaginable heat was erupting from Lu Chongwei's palm!
"Zi la la--!"
I saw that black iron pillar, burning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, emitting bursts of white smoke, like a soldering iron just taken out of the furnace!
"Is that all you have?"
Lu Chongwei sneered, grabbed the hot iron pillar, and exerted force suddenly!
"Ah!" Gajeel only felt an irresistible force coming from him. His whole body was treated as a weapon, and Lu Chongwei picked him up and threw him fiercely towards the wall next to him!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Gajeel's body was like a broken sack, which was repeatedly thrown away and hit by Lu Chongwei. The hard wall was knocked out of human-shaped craters one after another by him, and the heavy stone ground was smashed by him to create spider web-like cracks.
He was beaten to the point where he was unable to fight back and was in such a miserable state that blood spurted out of his mouth and he had no idea how many bones were broken all over his body.
"It's... hateful!!!"
Gajeel was not willing to be defeated. He endured the severe pain, took out a large iron ingot from his arms, opened his bloody mouth, and chewed and swallowed frantically.
As the iron block entered his abdomen, his injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his physical strength also rapidly recovered.
"Iron Dragon Roar--!!!"
After recovering, Gajeel suddenly broke free from his restraints, opened his mouth and spat out a terrifying tornado composed of countless small iron pieces.
Lu Chongwei just waved his knife casually, and a wall of fire burned the Roar easily.
"It's not over yet!" Gajeel roared angrily, and the magic power in his body exploded without reservation.
"Iron Dragon Transformation!"
The skin all over his body hardened rapidly and was covered with a layer of black scales that shone with a cold metallic light. The whole person turned into a humanoid steel dragon!
"Hahahaha! Now, both my attack and defense have been greatly enhanced!" Gajeel felt the powerful power surging in his body and burst into laughter, "Your physical skills can no longer hurt me at all!"
He roared angrily, and the ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, and his whole body turned into a black afterimage. Carrying a powerful force, an iron fist covered with metal scales struck hard at Lu Chongwei's face!
However, the iron fist that was enough to shatter the rock was caught by Lu Chongwei again with one hand, lightly.
"Significant increase in offense and defense?"
Lu Chongwei sneered, that smile full of endless contempt.
"In front of me, it's just a piece of harder scrap metal."
The moment he finished speaking, he released his right hand holding the knife, and hit Gajeel's scale-covered chest with the same punch without any fancy!
Click--!!!
There was a cracking sound that was so crisp that it made your scalp numb!
Gajeel's Iron Dragon scales, which are said to be both offensive and defensive, are indestructible. Under Lu Chongwei's punch, they were like fragile glass. They were instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks and sunk deeply inwards!
