Soon, everyone began to act separately.
Miriana brought Qi Yan to the floor he was responsible for.
As soon as they arrived, they didn't need to search; the opponent had already come to them.
"So many people!"
Miriana was startled by the sheer number of opponents. Her magic combat power was actually quite average, primarily functional. Once bound by her magic, one couldn't use magic. It was very effective for one-on-one combat or sneak attacks.
However, against so many people, her magic had little effect.
"Full Body Takeover: Ace!"
Qi Yan transformed into Ace. Ace was a purple card, consuming much less energy than a gold card. Ace's Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit power was also very strong, most suitable for dealing with these cannon fodder.
"Kill him!!"
"Jellal said that whoever kills him will get 100 million J!"
"Charge!" ... Numerous guards rushed directly at Qi Yan. These were all forces he had secretly cultivated over the years, many operating as Dark Guilds. This time, to deal with Qi Yan, he naturally brought out all his assets and promised these people a high reward.
"Fire Fist!!"
Qi Yan's arm transformed into a giant flame of super-high temperature, then the flame quickly swept past these guards.
"Ugh ah ah ah!"
"Waah ah ah ah!" ... Everyone screamed as they were sent flying, then fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, all the numerous guards on this floor were cleared by Qi Yan.
"So... so powerful!!"
Although Miriana had already witnessed Qi Yan's terrifying strength, seeing him so easily dispatch these people still made her exclaim in admiration.
Qi Yan raised his hand and gripped the iron cage, and the scorching flames immediately melted it.
"Miriana?!"
"What's going on?!"
"Why did Jellal lock us up?" ... Everyone in the iron cage was in a panic, seeing their acquaintance Miriana, they quickly asked.
"Everyone has been deceived by Jellal. Eight years ago, Jellal betrayed us, not Erza. Now that the Tower of Paradise is built, Jellal wants to eliminate the evidence, so he wants to kill us."
"What?!"
"How could this be?!"
Everyone present was incredulous upon hearing Miriana's words, but the facts were already before them, leaving them no choice but to believe.
"Damn it! What was all our work for him these past years?!"
"Alright, everyone, hurry and leave here, it's very dangerous."
Everyone also knew that staying there wouldn't help and would only be a burden, so they all quickly left after bidding farewell to Miriana.
At this time, similar things were happening on other floors. Compared to strangers like Qi Yan, they were more willing to trust familiar people like Simon.
Soon, Qi Yan arrived at the next floor he was responsible for.
Qi Yan unleashed another Fire Fist, incapacitating most of the guards, and easily dealt with the remaining few.
Qi Yan quickly swept through half of the floors he was responsible for, and he also noticed that the higher up he went, the stronger the guards became, which made him spend a little more effort.
"Hey! Have you seen enough?"
Suddenly, Qi Yan spoke, "You've been following for several floors now, aren't you going to make a move?"
"What?"
Miriana was a little confused, not knowing what Qi Yan meant by that.
Just then, a monster with an owl's head and a human body emerged from the corner.
"Oh oh, as expected of the legendary figure, Qi Yan! Your notoriety has already spread to our guild!! The warrior of justice, Fukuro, will eliminate evil today!!"
"Just obediently die."
Fukuro crouched down, and what looked like a bazooka-like magical tool on his back began to spray.
"Jet-Propulsion, oh oh oh aoo!!"
Fukuro's body rapidly rushed towards Qi Yan.
Qi Yan raised his palm and calmly chanted, "Mirror Flame!"
Whoosh----!
Qi Yan's palm suddenly spewed out a large sheet of flames, forming a giant wall of fire.
Upon seeing this, Fukuro quickly changed direction, ascending ninety degrees directly into the air, avoiding crashing into the wall of fire. Then, he quickly rushed down from the air towards Qi Yan, raising his foot to kick him.
As Qi Yan dodged sideways, his body rapidly rotated, kicking Fukuro in the face.
"Oh oh!"
Fukuro was kicked away, but quickly stopped steadily.
"Oh! He's got something!"
Ace's stats weren't top-tier, but they weren't low either. He didn't expect that after one kick, the opponent would be as if nothing had happened.
"Oh oh! Qi Yan, I know your weakness clearly! Your transformation is very powerful, even once defeating Jose of the Ten Wizard Saints, but the stronger your transformation, the more magic power it consumes. So your biggest weakness is magic power."
"Your transformation consumes magic power every moment. Those previous battles must have consumed a lot of your magic power. How much longer can you last now? I just need to keep stalling you, making you consume magic power, and when your magic power is depleted and you are at your weakest, I will attack. That way, I will achieve ultimate victory!!" Fukuro looked as if victory was already in his grasp.
Qi Yan raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "Oh? You've investigated quite thoroughly! But do you think you can last that long?"
Fukuro patted his chest: "The warrior of justice, Fukuro, will never be defeated by evil."
"Full Body Takeover: Gojo Satoru!"
Qi Yan's body began to rapidly change, and in a blink of an eye, Qi Yan transformed into Gojo Satoru's appearance.
"Have you seen this form before?"
"Oh oh, is it a new form? As expected of an evil fellow, the warrior of justice, Fukuro, will not allow you to do evil with a new identity."
"Missile, oh oh oh!"
The two bazookas on Fukuro's back flew towards Qi Yan.
Qi Yan didn't move, and the two bazookas just stopped in front of him.
"What's going on?!"
Fukuro was startled and immediately controlled the magical tools to increase their firepower, but no matter how Fukuro urged them, the bazookas just couldn't get close to Qi Yan.
"Cursed Technique Reversal: Blue!"
Qi Yan raised his hand and touched the two bazookas. The next instant, the two bazookas rapidly twisted, turning into an iron ball that fell to the ground.
"What?!"
The bazookas turning into an iron ball made Fukuro momentarily stunned.
Bang!
Almost at the same instant the iron ball landed, Qi Yan appeared in front of Fukuro.
"Not good!" Fukuro's face changed drastically, and he immediately prepared to retreat, but it was already too late. Qi Yan's fist, imbued with powerful cursed energy, struck towards Fukuro's abdomen.
"Black Flash!!"
Bang!!
Crack crack!
Black and red lightning erupted.
"Ugh ah ah ah!!"
Fukuro felt an intense pain in his abdomen, his body arching like a perfectly cooked shrimp, blood splattering from his mouth, and he was sent flying backward.
Boom boom boom boom!!
Fukuro's body smashed through several walls, ultimately falling from the Tower of Paradise.
Qi Yan said disdainfully, "So much nonsense! Just trying to save some energy, and as a result, any random cat or dog dares to come and cause trouble."
