King Liku gave Cyrus a look, saying that the navy would soon arrive, and he hoped that Cyrus could hold on until the navy arrived.

Cyrus nodded slowly.

More and more people gathered around, and the appearance of Cyrus greatly boosted the confidence of the people.

After all, Cyrus is a hero of this country, be proud!

He once had an undefeated record of 3,000 games in the arena!

Cyrus clenched the sword in his hands with both hands, looking at Gerard, his whole body exuding a strong fighting spirit.

"Now that we've said goodbye, let's get going." Gerard said calmly.

He raised the Xueyin Sword, and a chill emanated faintly from the blade.

“Drink!?”

Cyrus shouted, intending to take the initiative. He kicked the floor hard, breaking it into pieces, and flew towards Gerard like a cannonball.

Looking at Cyrus rushing towards him, Gerard was suddenly a little disappointed. The man who had maintained an undefeated record of 3,000 games in the arena was only at this level.

"Qiang!!"

He raised his hand to block with the knife.

The collision between the knife and the sword produced dazzling sparks.

Gerard turned around and hit Cyrus on the lower back with a spinning whip kick, throwing him out!

"Bang!!"

Cyrus hit the stone slabs on the ground, and the gravel flew everywhere.

"Pfft~"

Cyrus spat out a mouthful of blood, and his momentum instantly weakened a lot.

"Cyrus!"

Sclater was so panicked that he was about to rush over.

Violet hurriedly grabbed her: “Sister, don’t go over there!”

King Riku hugged Rebecca tightly to prevent her from seeing him. But his heart was filled with turmoil. He had not expected the pirate in front of him to be so strong!

"If this is all you have, I will be very disappointed, Cyrus." Gerard said lightly.

I thought he was a decent swordsman, so I gave him a fair chance in a duel, but the result was disappointing.

Cyrus climbed up, wiped the blood from his mouth and tightened his sword.

"Don't be so complacent, pirate! I was just careless just now! Drink!"

Cyrus was stimulated by Gerard's words. As a swordsman who had won three thousand games in the arena, he was now easily kicked to the ground by others. He was really embarrassed.

He attacked Gerard again, his extremely fast speed causing bursts of whistling sounds.

"This is interesting!"

Seeing that Cyrus' speed was actually much faster than before and his momentum was also different, Gerard felt as if his eyes had brightened.

Gerard raised the Snow Drinking Sword and slashed it horizontally to block Cyrus' attack.

For a moment, there was a feeling of stalemate, and the swords made a metallic creaking sound under the huge force of the two men.

Jellal's legs were about to move, intending to kick him away again.

Seeing this, Cyrus quickly withdrew, made a sword flower, jumped up and attacked again.

Jellal also jumped up, and the two exchanged blows several times in the air.

“Clang! Clang…!”

The swords collided in mid-air, causing a lot of sparks.

After a few moves, the two bounced back to the ground.

Cyrus was breathing very rapidly, as if he had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle.

Jellal breathed steadily and looked at Cyrus calmly.

He had to admit that if one only looked at close combat skills, Cyrus was indeed outstanding.

After all, he had been tempered by three thousand battles, but that was all.

Jellal raised the Snow Drinking Sword, and his momentum exploded instantly!

Cyrus' pupils shrank when he saw Gerard's aura suddenly change as if he was facing a powerful enemy.

He knew that the man opposite him was serious. If he couldn't stop his attack, he would die.

"Cyrus..." As if sensing something, Scarlett started to shed tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Come on! Pirates!"

Cyrus did not retreat but charged back, tightly gripping the rapier and rushing towards Gerard!

"A chilling glance!!"

Gerard shouted and slashed at Cyrus with the Snow Drinking Sword in his hand.

Astonishing sword energy burst out, and a huge slash hit Cyrus in the face!

Cyrus was frightened for a moment and raised his sword to block.

But he couldn't withstand Gerard's attack!

"Crack!"

A crisp breaking sound was heard, and the Western sword in Cyrus' hand was directly cut off!

The final blow landed on him, knocking him flying!

“Puff…!”

Cyrus was bleeding profusely in the air, and the blood splashed onto King Liku and others behind him!

"Bang!!"

After flying for dozens of meters in the air, Cyrus fell heavily to the ground, with gravel flying everywhere, and he suddenly passed out!

"Cyrus!"

"Brother-in-law!!"

"Dad! Woohoo!!"

Scarlett and Violet each screamed, then hurried over to check.

When Rebecca saw the injured and unconscious Cyrus, she burst into tears. King Liku held her and ran towards Cyrus.

Gerard moved his feet and walked slowly towards Cyrus.

"Dad, wake up, Dad... woo woo woo..."

When Gerard heard the voice, he suddenly felt annoyed.

But another voice told him that if he wanted to cut the grass, he had to uproot it to avoid future troubles!

King Riku quickly stood in front, not afraid of Jellal who was walking slowly towards him.

The royal army surrounded them one after another.

"Sir Gerard, could you please let Cyrus go and spare his life? I am willing to exchange my life for yours." King Riku's low voice sounded.

Jellal stopped and looked at him expressionlessly.

"Father!"

"No! Father!"

Scarlet and Violet hurried to stop him, looking at Jellal with horror in their eyes.

“Wuwuwu…Uncle, please don’t hit daddy, okay, wuwuwu…” Rebecca said crying.

Jellal looked at the weak Rebecca and felt extremely annoyed.

He told himself in his heart that this is a cannibalistic world and sympathy is not necessary!

"Forget it, Jellal, let's go~" At some point, the empress walked to Jellal's side.

He gently took Jellal's hand and looked at him.

Jellal felt the warmth in his hand, and his murderous intent subsided.

"Okay~" Jellal smiled softly.

Xueyin sheathed his sword and let the empress pull him away.

Sandasonia and Longdan glanced at King Riku and followed.

Seeing Jellal and the other three leave, the pressure in King Riku's heart finally eased.

"Hurry! Carry Cyrus back to the palace!" King Liku shouted.

Several soldiers quickly took action, lifted Cyrus and ran towards the palace.

Scarlett hurried after him, holding Rebecca in her arms.

"Violet, ask Princess Mansherry to come over." King Liku came to Violet and said softly.

"I understand, father!" Violet hurried away and ran towards the direction where the dwarfs lived.

…………

As the Empress and her four companions returned to the ship, the Perfume Serpent also left the port.

"Jellal~" The empress walked to Jellal and called softly.

"I'm fine, Snake Princess, do you think I was too soft-hearted just now?" Jellal looked at the empress.

"No, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it either. Just now, when I was looking at that little girl, I suddenly thought, if we have children in the future, will we also face this situation?" The empress hugged Gerard's arm and leaned on him.

"Don't worry, Snake Princess, I won't let this happen!" Gerard said softly, but his tone was unquestionable.

The Empress smiled slightly, feeling warm inside, and hugged Jellal tighter.
