Chapter 2205: The Little Yellow Chicken Swallows the Sovereign Lord

"Why must it come to this..." the giant face sighed.

She seemed to have long known that there was someone in the heart of the girl before her, but she hadn't expected it to be this person.

"I believe the Sovereign Lord has already seen the whole story. Bai Ye, a titled Divine King, coveted his elixir and deliberately framed him, thus provoking the attack... The fault does not lie with Zhang Xuan. I beg the Sovereign Lord to show leniency and let him go..."

Luo Qiqi raised her head.

When it came to Zhang Xuan's affairs, she would never back down.

"Guilty or not, even if my subordinate is guilty, it should be handled by me. An outsider kills my man—if I do nothing, how will my Linglong Heaven retain any face to stand at the pinnacle of the divine realm?"

The giant face shook its head.

Though she knew the fault was not on the other side, it involved the dignity of a realm; she could not compromise or retreat.

"If the Sovereign Lord insists on punishment... I am willing to bear it for him..." Luo Qiqi gritted her silver teeth.

Unexpectedly, the girl was so persistent. The giant face frowned.

"Qiqi, step back! I'll handle my own affairs."

With a flicker of his body, Zhang Xuan shielded the girl behind him.

He had always owed this girl; she had already given too much for him. Now, how could he let her be harmed?

Though his current strength was insufficient—only at the peak of upper-grade Divine Lord—after fusing with the little yellow chicken's blood, he possessed an undying body. It wouldn't be easy for the other party to kill him!

Moreover, he had the Book of Heavenly Dao. Though it might not withstand a Sovereign Lord, it should be able to hold off a giant face formed from a single thought for a while.

"He's still a man..."

Seeing him charge out, the giant face's previously indifferent gaze showed appreciation: "Handling his own affairs himself—he has a sense of responsibility."

Others, even titled Divine Kings, would have been speechless before a Sovereign Lord. This one, neither servile nor overbearing, actively faced her, showing his strong character.

No wonder the girl was devoted to him.

"Originally, I intended to cripple your cultivation. Since Qiqi pleaded for you... sparing your life is fine. This thought of mine, condensed from the royal city's essence, has only one percent of my true body's power. If you can withstand a full-force strike, today's matter ends here. If you cannot... it only means your cultivation is insufficient."

The giant face said indifferently.

"Sovereign Lord..." Luo Qiqi's pretty face turned pale.

What she said was true—the giant face was indeed formed from condensed essence, but it still contained the will of a Sovereign Lord. Not to mention Zhang Xuan, even an ordinary titled Divine King could not resist.

"It's settled! If he can't even withstand such an attack, he doesn't deserve your love!"

A vast will spread down. Luo Qiqi, who was about to speak, froze in midair, unable to move or revert to her Silent Void Pearl form.

It must be the Sovereign Lord's true body taking action.

"Begin!"

Knowing the Sovereign Lord's decision was irrevocable, Zhang Xuan hovered in the air, channeling his inner energy to the limit.

Even one percent of a Sovereign Lord's power was not to be underestimated.

Whoosh!

With a grab, the Divine King Sword that had flown away returned to his palm. With a light flick, he executed the Heaven-Has-Feelings Sword Art.

Heart like a double silk net, within it a thousand knots!

How could it be for idle sightseeing? The liver and intestines stir with filial thoughts!

The spring silkworm's silk ends only when death comes; the candle's tears dry only when turned to ashes!

Three sword techniques were released simultaneously from the sword tip, forming a massive shield around his body.

"So young, yet you've comprehended a sword art that transcends the Heavenly Dao... Not bad..."

The giant face paused for a moment. Without any visible movement, Zhang Xuan saw a tremendous force crush down, and the defense formed by the three sword techniques visibly shattered.

"So strong..."

As expected of a Sovereign Lord—even one percent of her power was beyond his current ability to withstand.

"I'll go all out..."

As the sword art collapsed, knowing that letting the force strike him would cause severe injury, Zhang Xuan narrowed his eyes.

Though after tempering in the Moon Pure Pool and fusing with the little yellow chicken's blood, he could recover from any injury, he had to rush back to Lingyuan Heaven for the competition to qualify for the Spirit God Palace... He couldn't afford delays!

Thus, he would avoid injury if possible.

"Let me handle it!"

Just as he was communicating with the Book of Heavenly Dao and about to unleash it, a voice suddenly rang in his mind. Then he saw a little yellow chicken appear out of nowhere, growing larger as it faced the wind, and opening its mouth.

Whoosh!

The giant face in the sky was immediately swallowed. The entire sky was left with only a huge yellow chicken, floating quietly like an inflated balloon.

"..."

Zhang Xuan's face twitched.

He knew the little yellow chicken could swallow things, even treasures stronger than itself... But this was a Sovereign Lord's will, and you just swallowed it like that?

Couldn't you give her some face?

Not only was he stunned, everyone who saw this had the same expression: (⊙_⊙), followed by O(≧口≦)O.

The giant face formed from the Sovereign Lord's will represented the Sovereign Lord's dignity...

Swallowed by a chicken...

Luo Qiqi also looked at the yellow chicken in disbelief.

If she had known he had such a powerful backup, she wouldn't have rushed out...

Under everyone's incredulous gaze, the huge yellow chicken burped, wobbled, and shrank back to its original size.

As it shrank, it licked its mouth, looking as if it had eaten something greatly nourishing.

Buzz!

A tremendous pressure formed in the air again, and the giant face from before reappeared.

However, without the support of essence, it looked somewhat blurry.

But the will within it remained lofty, giving a strong sense of oppression.

"You..."

No longer attacking, the giant face looked at the little yellow chicken with a complex expression.

"I am Zhang Xuan's spirit beast, Little Yellow Chicken... What, want to make a move on my master? First, get past me..." The little yellow chicken stretched its chicken waist, extended one wing forward, and said arrogantly.

"Spirit beast? Little... Yellow Chicken?"

The giant face's skin twitched: "Do you... know your former identity?"

"Of course I know!" The little yellow chicken said proudly, repeating its earlier words: "I am the supreme divine beast that roams heaven and earth... the overlord among chickens, Chicken Tyrant!"

"..."

The giant face's skin twitched again. It looked at Zhang Xuan not far away with a complex gaze.

If before, she only thought he was a highly talented fellow with special means, now she no longer thought so.

Comprehending a technique that transcends the Heavenly Dao, casually summoning a book to smack a titled Divine King to death, and comprehending a sword art that transcends the Heavenly Dao...

Now, he had even tamed this one as a spirit beast, brainwashed it into thinking it was really a chicken, and given it such a dim-witted name, which it thought was domineering...

Big brother... where on earth did you come from?

This ability... is too heaven-defying!
