Library of Heaven's Path

Chapter 2205 Glomp

“Why do you do this to yourself?” The massive face sighed deeply.

Fairy Linglong had known all this while that there was a person that lived in the heart of this reserved young lady, but she had never thought that it would be this man.

Luo Qiqi raised her head and said, “Your Sovereignty, I believe that you saw everything that happened earlier. It was Conferred God King Baiye who was greedy, so she attempted to take advantage of him. Zhang Xuan only retaliated due to her oppression. If we trace the chain of responsibility, it’s unfair to pin the blame all on him. So, Your Sovereignty, I ask you to spare him and allow him to leave!”

She had never thought of herself as a headstrong person, but when it came to something involving Zhang Xuan, she was determined to never back down.

“That is no longer the problem here. Even if my subordinate has done wrong, I should be the one to punish her. If he, an outsider, gets away scot-free after willfully killing my subordinate, our Sky of Linglong will be made light of by others,” the massive face replied.

She knew that Zhang Xuan was not at fault, but the Sky of Linglong was a part of the Firmament, not a closed-off dimension isolated from the rest of the world. Reputation was important when it came to dealing with others, so she could not afford to compromise.

“If that’s the case, I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf,” Luo Qiqi said with gritted teeth.

Not expecting the young lady to go this far, the massive face in the sky frowned.

“Qiqi, back down. I’ll settle this matter myself,” Zhang Xuan said as he flew into the sky and stood in front of the young lady.

He was already indebted to the young lady after all she had done for him. How could he allow her to come to harm due to him again?

His strength might be lacking, but having taken in the bloodline of the little yellow chick, his body had become undying. It would not be that easy for Fairy Linglong to kill him in his current state.

Furthermore, he still had a golden page with him. It might not be enough to defend against the might of a real God Monarch, but it could surely stand its ground against a sliver of Fairy Linglong’s will.

“I guess you still have some guts in you…” the massive face remarked quietly after seeing Zhang Xuan’s actions. “To face your own trouble by yourself, you still have a sense of responsibility in you.”

Had it been anyone else, even if it was a Conferred God King, they would not have dared say anything excessive before a God Monarch. Yet, the young man was willing to step forth under such circumstances to take responsibility for his own actions.

Perhaps that was why Luo Qiqi was so devoted to him.

“My initial verdict was to cripple your cultivation, but since Qiqi has pleaded on your behalf, I’ll make an exception and show you leniency. This sliver of my will is formed through the spiritual energy within Linglong Royal City, and it harnesses roughly a hundredth of my prowess. If you can withstand an attack of full might from me, I’ll let the matter today go. Otherwise, you can only blame yourself for your weakness!” the massive face said.

Your Sovereignty…” Luo Qiqi protested with a pale face.

While the massive face was formed out of spiritual energy, the fact remained that it harnessed the will of a God Monarch. Putting aside Zhang Xuan, even ordinary Conferred God Kings would not be able to withstand it!

“I have already made up my mind. If he can’t even survive something of this extent, he’s not worthy of your feelings!”

A powerful will descended from the sky, and Luo Qiqi immediately fell silent. She suddenly found herself unable to speak or move.

Most likely, Fairy Linglong had chosen to immobilize her temporarily to prevent her from meddling in this.

“Let’s get started then!”

Knowing that there was no avoiding this, Zhang Xuan began channeling his zhenqi to its limits in preparation of facing Fairy Linglong’s attack.

Even though the attack only harnessed a hundredth of her full strength, it was still a force not to be underestimated. Hu!

With a wave of his hand, the God King Sword immediately flew back into his grasp, and he swung it toward the face with great power.

Through this slash, Zhang Xuan executed the three sword arts of the Pathos of Heaven simultaneously, and he manipulated the sword qi to form a massive barrier right before him.

“Despite your young age, you have comprehended your own sword art. Not bad…” The massive face nodded.

The next moment, a powerful force crushed down from above, and the barrier that was created using the three sword arts began to break apart at a visible pace.

“What terrifying might…” Zhang Xuan murmured.

He would have expected no less from a God Monarch. Even a hundredth of Fairy Linglong’s strength was still way beyond what he could deal with.

“I can only put my life on the line then…”

Once his sword art caved in and the force struck down on him, he would surely sustain severe injuries.

To be frank, Zhang Xuan was still fairly confident that he would survive this ordeal. After his body had been tempered through the Lucid Lunar Lake, it was able to recover from even the most severe of injuries as long as he was given enough time.

However, the problem was that he had to rush back to the Sky of Spirit Origin to make it in time for the tournament to earn the qualification to enter Spirit God Palace.

If he missed it, the next opportunity would be a hundred years from now. So, he could not afford to be crippled!

Thus, he was trying his hardest to avoid sustaining any injuries at all.

Left with no choice, Zhang Xuan turned to his Library of Heaven’s Path to summon his golden page.

But at this crucial moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his head. “Let me do it instead!”

Following that, Little Chick leaped out of his dantian and opened its beak wide.

Glomp!

With a huge breath, it swallowed the massive face in the sky, leaving a big bloated yellow chick reminiscent of an oversized balloon floating quietly in the air.

Zhang Xuan’s cheeks twitched.

He knew that the little yellow chick was capable of swallowing artifacts and items that were far stronger than it, but that was a sliver of a God Monarch’s will!

Is it really fine for you to swallow it just like that?

Shouldn’t we at least spare her some face?

Zhang Xuan was far from being the only one taken aback by this sight. Everyone who witnessed the scene was as dumbstruck as he was.

That massive face could be considered a representation of Fairy Linglong herself, and a chick had actually swallowed it just like that.

Luo Qiqi also turned to look at Little Chick with a look of disbelief on her face.

If she had known that Zhang Xuan had such a powerful trump card, she would not have intervened at all.

Before everyone’s shocked gaze, the massive yellow chick released a resounding burp before its body began contracting back to its original size.

While it was still contracting, it licked its lips with an expression that looked as if it was not fully satisfied yet.

Weng!

Shortly later, yet another massive face appeared in the sky. This time around, however, without ample spiritual energy to fuel it, the face looked a little blurred.

Nevertheless, the will that was harnessed within it still cast a heavy pressure on those standing before it.

You…”

Instead of flying into a rage, the massive face looked at Little Chick with an indescribable expression on its face.

“I am Zhang Xuan’s tamed beast, Little Chick… If you want to make a move on my master, you have to get past me!” Little Chick stuck its chick wings on its waist and spoke proudly.

Tamed beast? Little Chick?”

The massive face twitched a little upon hearing those words. “Do you know your true identity?”

“Of course!” Little Chick replied proudly. “I am a legendary beast who once ruled over the lands… Supercock”

The massive face twitched yet again before looking at Zhang Xuan with an assessing gaze.

If Fairy Linglong had thought that the young man was just a talented cultivator who possessed some special means previously, she did not dare think that way anymore.

It was one thing for the young man to have comprehended a cultivation technique and sword arts that surpassed the heavens and possessed a book that could kill a Conferred God King…

But she never could have imagined that the young man would actually tame that person as his tamed beast, even brainwashing him into thinking that he was a cock! Furthermore, that person even took pride in such an embarrassing name.

Was this really happening?

It really felt like everything in the Firmament was going haywire!
