I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"How is this possible? You can actually block the attack of Xuanming True Water?!"

Li Chen quickly took a few steps back, his face filled with fear, his eyes fixed on the Fire Ancestral Witch. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, because just now, he found that all his attacks had no effect on the Fire Ancestral Witch.

At this moment, he looked at the Fire Witch, his heart filled with fear. This huge monster exuded a chilling aura, as if it could devour all life. Facing such a powerful enemy, Li Chen even felt his legs tremble involuntarily.

"Hmph, this Xuanming True Water, even the Water God Gonggong couldn't hurt me in the slightest, let alone a brat like you? Compared to him, there's a world of difference between you and him!" The Fire Ancestral Witch looked at Li Chen and let out a vicious laugh. The harsh laugh reached Li Chen's ears, and he felt a nameless fire in his heart.

"Host! Run! With your current strength, you are definitely no match for the Fire Ancestral Witch. Find a chance to escape!" The system's voice suddenly rang in Li Chen's mind, this time with a hint of anxiety in its tone.

"Shut up right there! A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated! I must kill him today! Forbidden—Demon-Slaying Guillotine!" Li Chen's hair stood on end with rage, and his whole body emanated golden light, like a golden sun.

He grasped two massive axes, each the size of a mountain, in his hands. The blades flashed with a cold light, as if ready to cut through everything. The axes quickly melted in his hands, transforming into a brilliant halo, as dazzling as the sun.

Li Chen raised the halo high, his eyes firm and resolute, and threw it hard towards the neck of the Fire Ancestral Witch!

"Hahahahahaha!" The Fire Ancestral Shaman laughed ferociously, seemingly unfazed by the attack. However, when the halo approached his neck, it began to spin wildly.

As the friction between the light wheel and the neck continued to increase, sparks began to fall from the neck of the Fire Witch, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, as if it was going to burn up the entire space.

"Now you know how powerful I am!" Li Chen laughed triumphantly. However, his smile quickly froze on his face.

The halo began to melt upon contact with the Fire Ancestor's neck. Soon, the once indestructible halo turned into a pool of molten iron, sliding down the Fire Ancestor's neck.

Li Chen's eyes widened as he watched in disbelief at what was happening before his eyes. He could never have imagined that the forbidden technique he had used with all his might could be so easily neutralized by the Fire Ancestral Witch.

"It's not over yet, don't get complacent! The wood-poison spreads thousands of miles!"

As Li Chen roared, his body shone with an emerald green light, which then transformed into a poisonous mist that spread out in all directions from around him. Soon, the poison surrounded the Fire Ancestral Witch!

"You plundered this power from the Wood Ancestral Shaman, Ju Mang, right?"

Facing Li Chen's attack, the Fire Ancestral Witch showed disdain. He simply raised his hand and released a burst of extremely hot energy. This heat instantly burned away the poisonous mist, even making the air scorching hot!

Li Chen's eyes widened as he watched in disbelief at what was happening before his eyes. He could never have imagined that the skill he had exerted with all his might could be so easily neutralized by the Fire Ancestral Witch.

"hateful!"

A stream of blood gushed out of Li Chen's mouth. He was now completely exhausted. After all, although the skills provided by these ancient witches were powerful, they also consumed a lot of mana and physical strength!

Especially the move "Forbidden - Demon-Slaying Guillotine" consumed several times more strength and mana than the "Golden - Axe to Chop the Demon". After these moves, the Fire Ancestor Witch did not suffer any damage, but his physical strength was almost gone!

"Little devil, you have no strength left now! Ah, hahahahahahahaha! Just prepare to die!"

The Fire Ancestor roared to the heavens, a roar so deafening it chilled the very air. Suddenly, a vast expanse of the sky turned red, like a sea of ​​fire. Li Chen felt a chill run down his spine, and as he looked up, he saw a dense mass of rapidly falling flames raining down from the sky, smashing towards the ground like a meteor, bringing with it endless pressure and destructive power.

"Not good! The Snow Realm Divine Deer, the Fire Qilin!"

Li Chen was startled and quickly summoned the Snow Deer and Fire Kirin. The two mounts, sensing their master's call, immediately appeared. Together, they unleashed their powerful magic power, creating a solid barrier in front of Li Chen, tightly protecting him.

As the rain of fire continued to fall, the barrier began to bear immense pressure, and cracks gradually appeared. Suddenly, the Fire Ancestral Witch raised his four flaming fists and slammed them heavily into the barrier, instantly shattering it! Unable to withstand the fierce attack, the Snow Realm Divine Deer and the Fire Kirin were sent flying by the Fire Ancestral Witch!

"what!"

Endless rain of fire bombarded Li Chen mercilessly. Li Chen's physical strength and magic power were exhausted, and coupled with the fierce attack of the rain of fire, he was beaten to a bloody mess and covered with scars!

Although Li Chen had the "protection of the Holy Mother of Flowers" provided by the Hibiscus Fairy, Li Chen was extremely anxious, and coupled with the burning flames of the Fire Witch outside, he suffered considerable internal injuries and fainted from anger!

"Hahahahaha! Little devil, get up and fight again, is that all you can do?" The Fire Ancestral Shaman looked at Li Chen, who had fainted in his palm, and couldn't help but reveal a ferocious smile. He said smugly, "You mortals, you dare to go against me? You really overestimate your own abilities!"

After saying that, he was about to throw Li Chen's body into the magma. In this way, even if there was a way to bring the dead back to life in this world, Li Chen's body had been completely destroyed. He would sit here and seal Li Chen's soul personally, so how could Li Chen be resurrected?

However, at the critical moment, a mysterious force quietly descended. Li Chen's body suddenly shone with a strange light, as if a powerful life force was surging.

The Fire Ancestral Witch looked at the scene in astonishment, a sense of unease welling up in his heart. He tried to suppress the light with flames, but found that it became more and more dazzling. Suddenly, a purple light burst out from Li Chen's body, instantly illuminating the entire space.

Amidst the light, a figure slowly emerged. It was the Fire Scorpion. A resolute light gleamed in her eyes as she clutched Li Chen's falling body from mid-air. With her deft movements, she landed the unconscious Li Chen smoothly on the ground!

The Fire-Eating Scorpion's eyes were filled with determination and resolve. She knew she was the only one who could protect Li Chen. She had to find a safe place to escape the Fire Witch's attack. So, she decided to transform back into her true form—a scorpion—and use her burrowing ability to find a way to escape.

The Fire Scorpion quickly transformed back into its scorpion form and began digging a tunnel with its sharp pincers. Her movements were swift and powerful, each swing dislodging a large amount of soil. Soon, a narrow tunnel, but large enough for the two of them, appeared before them.

However, at this moment, the Fire Ancestral Shaman discovered the Fire Scorpion's intentions. He roared angrily, "You?! It won't be that easy to escape!"

The Fire Ancestral Shaman didn't understand why the Fire Scorpion would choose to betray him. In his eyes, the Fire Scorpion was just an insignificant little bug, not worth his attention. However, at this moment, the Fire Scorpion displayed unprecedented courage and determination, which surprised him immensely.

The Fire Witch didn't hesitate at all and immediately cast a powerful spell. The scorching hot magma surged like a tide, rushing towards the tunnel.

The Fire Scorpion felt the heat wave behind her, and her heart tightened. She knew that if the lava caught up with them, they would be unable to escape. She increased her digging speed, hoping to reach safety as quickly as possible.
