The roaring pillar of flames split into two.

Natsu's pupils shrank instantly.

now! Hong Yu has already approached him through the roaring gap that was cut open! .

Chapter 157 Defeated by one blow?

"This guy... what's going on?"

Happy, who was watching the battle, exclaimed.

The flames were shattered by the slash.

The ferocious face was infinitely magnified in front of one person and one cat.

"Is this your strength? Fire dragon-!"

Holding knives in both hands, Hong Yu's arms swelled violently.

Veins popped up on his arms.

He stared straight ahead at Natsu.

Slash out!

A dazzling blade light flashed instantly, illuminating the faces of one person and one cat.

"Varied--!!"

Natsu exclaimed!

The knife light hit Naz's abdomen, and the terrifying impact made Naz's eyes pop out.

The mouth grows unconsciously.

Blood sprayed from the mouth.

The whole person flew out towards the rear uncontrollably.

"Ahhhhhhh!!"

The body that was knocked into the air hit the wall behind him.

Without the slightest sense of hindrance, Natsu directly broke through the wall.

It flew out quickly towards the outside world.

"Natsu~~" without hesitation.

Happy immediately spread the wings behind him,

Directly chased Natsu out in the distance.

Hong Yu has no intention of chasing Happy.

Slowly put the drawn blade back into its sheath.

Looking through the broken wall, he saw the Fairy Tail guild standing on the coastline.

"Fairy Tail... I hope there will be someone strong enough next!"

Shaking her head, Hong Yu turned and left.

————

"Wooahhhhh!"

The people who were fighting on the battlefield heard the screams from the highest altitude.

"Naz?" The alarmed crowd raised their heads.

He looked at Natsu who was flying towards him.

And Happy, who kept approaching Natsu behind him.

boom---! !

Natsu's body hit the shore hard.

The terrifying impact stirred up smoke and dust tens of meters high, as well as broken stones.

"Naz~~" Habi followed closely behind and flew into the smoke.

After a while, Naz was dragged by Happy and flew out of the deep pit.

"Hey...what happened, Natsu..."

The nearest Lucy came over.

He looked at Naz in horror.

She had never seen Natsu beaten like this before.

"What happened to you just now?"

After killing the ghost soldier in front of him with one blow, Lisanna also cast her gaze over and asked.

"I don't know, a swordsman, no, it should be a warrior, but he calls himself a mercenary..."

Happy put Natsu flat on the ground.

Said anxiously incoherently.

"Calm down, Happy." Lucy said comfortingly.

"Anyway, that person knocked Natsu away with just one blow," Happy said.

"No way... Was Natsu defeated by one blow?" Lisanna asked in surprise.

"That guy! Damn it! I'll fight again!"

Natsu, who had been frowning tightly, covered his severe pain in his abdomen,

He got up with difficulty.

Unwilling eyes stared at the walking guild of ghosts in front of them.

"Naz, you'd better take a rest." Happy persuaded.

"How can it be possible to rest, Gray and the others may also meet the guy with the knife if they are still inside."

Natsu shook his head and took a deep breath.

I am preparing to continue to the ghost's guild.

boom--!

The pitch-black figure hit the ground, making a hole in the ground.

"That is…"

"Iron Dragon Gajeel!"

Everyone also immediately saw clearly who was coming.

He patted the dust splashed on his body.

Gajeel stood up and looked at the crowd in front of him.

"Hey, isn't this Natsu who is called a fire dragon? What's wrong? You look very embarrassed!"

Gajeel smiled.

"Bastard, who are you!"

Natsu, who only thinks about the red rain,

Obviously did not hear the words of the crowd just now.

"Me? The strongest mage of ghosts, Lord Gajeel known as the iron dragon!"

Gajeel opened his arms.

After a brief self-introduction, he ignored Naz at the moment.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Lucy who was protected by Lisanna because of her appearance.

"Trash, hand over Lucy!"

"Jajiru, get rid of all those who are in the way!" Joseph's voice suddenly resounded from the loudspeaker in the rear.

"What?!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Hearing Joseph's words,

Everyone in Fairy Tail roared angrily,

"Hey! I understand, President!" Gajeel laughed twice.

The raised arm turned into a jagged sword.

He rushed towards Lisanna who was standing in front of Lucy.

??????????????????????

"Bastard Tielong!" Natsu's roar suddenly came from beside him.

After a brief hesitation, Natsu finally understood the current situation.

The matter of Hong Yu can be put aside for now.

The biggest threat right now should be Gajeel in front of him.

So Natsu rushed towards Gajeel with all his strength.

The flaming fist hindered Gajeel's progress.

And it hit Gajeel who was caught off guard.

boom--!

The flames exploded, pushing Gajeel back tens of meters.

"Lisanna, take Lucy away from here first, this guy is handed over to me!" Naz shouted behind him.

"Natsu, your body..." Happy looked at Natsu worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. Although that guy's slash is very strong, it still can't penetrate the dragon's body." Natsu responded.

·········································································

indeed,

Although the impact of that blow brought severe injuries to Natsu's internal organs.

But at least, the abdomen was not cut open,

The current Natsu still has spare energy to fight.

"It's quite tenacious, Fire Dragon!"

The repelled Gajeel stabilized his figure,

He looked at Naz and said:

"It seems that the only way to take Lucy Heartfilia away is to get rid of you first!"

Withdrawing the Iron Dragon Sword, Gajeel took a fighting stance.

"I'll give you back the same!" Natsu clenched his fists tightly.

"I will never let you take my companion away, so I will hit you!"

"Hehe, you dare to speak so brazenly even though you are already seriously injured." Gajeel shook his head.

"Aren't you too?" Natsu asked suddenly.

Gajeel was taken aback.

"As a dragon, you should know that the faint smell of blood on your body can't be hidden from me, right?" Natsu smiled.
