At the very last second, another illusionary apparition appeared in front of Zhang Rouchen's body and blocked the incoming attack.
This time, it wasn't the former wolf apparition of the Moon Queen but that of a formidable-looking Giant Rooster with a glistening bloody-red crown. With a human-like expression on its face, it rotated its neck and took in the scene of the rumbling thunder clouds above, the four attacking mercenaries, and Di Tian and Gongsun Ling a couple of metres away.
The Giant Rooster's gaze finally settled on the mercenary that almost cut off Zhang Rouchen's head just now and suddenly used its left wing as a knife, swiping towards the guy.
"Shit!"
Reflexively, Di Tian leapt forward, instantly activating his Pangu Armour form. In one step, he crossed the tiny distance separating him and that mercenary and appeared in front of him just as the sharp tip of the wing was about to make a clean cut of his head.
"Arrghhh!"
