I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus continued to fight fiercely with the fake Li Chen and the fake Fairy Hibiscus. As the battle time continued to lengthen, the fake Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus began to show signs of fatigue!

"Damn it! Manna from heaven!"

The fake Li Chen roared, unleashing a burst of power that repelled Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus. He then used his staff to summon a massive rain cloud, from which a gentle rain showered down, dripping onto him and the fake Fairy Hibiscus. The wounds on both were healed by the heavenly dew! The fake Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus regained their fighting strength and engaged Li Chen and the others in a fierce battle!

"What the hell is this? How come they even copied this move?"

Li Chen cursed in his heart, what on earth is this thing? How could it even copy this move? If he continues to fight back like this, there is no way he can be killed!

"We are you, and you are us! There's no point in continuing to fight like this. Why not join us in creating a great cause that belongs to us!"

The fake Hibiscus Fairy persuaded Li Chen and Hibiscus Fairy sincerely.

"You fart!"

Li Chen's eyes were red and his face was filled with anger. He roared at the fake Hibiscus Fairy, "I will never become an evil being like you, let alone become one with you!"

As a true warrior, the last thing you can do is compromise yourself! Because once you compromise yourself, it means you have lost all your dignity and courage, and you will never be able to stand up again!

"In that case, then prepare to die!"

The fake Li Chen showed a ferocious smile at the corner of his mouth, raised the staff in his hand, and then his body was lifted high into the sky by a pale blue force. Then he began to operate the staff frantically, and an extremely huge beam of water light bombarded towards Li Chen with the power to destroy the world!

"Flame Flash!"

Faced with such a terrifying attack, Li Chen had no intention of retreating. He raised the stick in his hand, and his body turned into a ball of burning flame, rushing towards the fake Li Chen at an astonishing speed.

However, just as Li Chen was about to approach the fake Li Chen, the fake Li Chen suddenly changed the staff in his hand into a sharp spear!

"Thunder Demonic Art!"

The fake Li Chen roared, and the spear in his hand instantly burst into dazzling lightning. He waved the spear, which brought up sharp lightning power and chopped down at Li Chen fiercely!

Li Chen wasn't to be outdone. He unleashed his Fire Demon Slash, engaging the fake Li Chen in a fierce battle! After a lightning-fast fight, the fake Li Chen was severely wounded and vomiting blood, while Li Chen remained unscathed!

After all, Fire Demon Slash is a famous magical skill in Dream Journey to the West. Although the damage is average, its biggest feature is that it is invincible when it is used! In addition, its speed is extremely fast and it is impossible to be hit!

"Heaven drop!"

The fake Li Chen wanted to use the nectar from heaven to restore himself, but Li Chen understood his intention and would not give him this opportunity. He once again used the Fiery Flash to rush to him, lifted him up with the Rising Dragon Slash, and then followed up with another Fire Demon Slash!

Li Chen escaped into the void at an extremely fast speed, and then attacked the fake Li Chen in the void, slashing the fake Li Chen continuously, making him suffer from excruciating pain. Then, Li Chen made the final blow, which was like a falling evil star, hitting the fake Li Chen heavily.

The fake Li Chen fell to the ground seriously injured and spitting blood. The fake Hibiscus Fairy quickly gave up the fight at this scene. She came to the fake Li Chen, helped him up, and then issued orders to the demons!

"Retreat quickly, retreat!" The fake Hibiscus Fairy supported the seriously injured fake Li Chen and gave orders to the demons.

"Roger that!"

"We retreat immediately!"

"Cover them and go first!"

After receiving the news, the demons immediately organized themselves and protected the fake Li Chen and the fake Hibiscus Fairy from escaping the village.

Li Chen and his group did not chase after these monsters, but instead became concerned about the situation of the villagers.

"Is everyone okay? Is anyone injured?" Li Chen asked.

"Thank you, all the gods!" a villager said excitedly.

"Thank you! If you hadn't arrived in time, we would have been killed by those monsters!" Another villager burst into tears of gratitude.

"Thank you for saving my whole family's lives!" Another villager knelt down and kowtowed with tears in his eyes.

The villagers expressed their gratitude to Li Chen and his team, and knelt on the ground to express their gratitude profusely.

Li Chen and his group quickly stepped forward to help the villagers up, saying they were welcome. However, this wonderful atmosphere lasted until the villagers saw the faces of Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus.

At this moment, a villager pointed at Li Chen and Fairy Hibiscus in horror and said, "You...you...?"

The other villagers also looked at Li Chen and Furong in horror, fearing that he and Fairy Furong would suddenly pick up weapons and kill people again.

It turned out that the battle just now broke out too suddenly, and the villagers had no time to see clearly what was happening. They only saw two Li Chens and two Hibiscus fairies fighting.

The villagers, with their mortal eyes, naturally couldn't tell which of the two Li Chens fighting in the air was real and which was fake. Seeing Li Chen again, they thought this Li Chen was the same Li Chen who had just threatened them to hand over their gold, silver, treasures, cattle, sheep and livestock – a demon who killed without blinking an eye!

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A villager, holding a weapon in his hand, asked Li Chen and his group. They were now completely frightened and couldn't figure out which Li Chen was good and which Li Chen was bad!

"Don't misunderstand, villagers. We are here to defeat the Twelve Ancestral Witches. We are here to help you eliminate the Earth Ancestral Witch!"

Li Chen walked forward and spoke sincerely. The villagers saw that Li Chen was sincere, which was completely different from his previous wild and evil look, so they believed what Li Chen said.

"In that case, our village should welcome you! But if you dare to deceive us, we will not let you go even if we become ghosts!"

The villagers said indignantly, and then they brought Li Chen and his group to their residence. This was a dilapidated house at the head of the village, and the original occupant was the village guard!

Ever since the Earth Ancestral Shaman led his demon soldiers to invade the village, the entire village has been plunged into chaos and fear. The death of the village defenders has dealt a heavy blow to the small village, making the already tense atmosphere even more depressing.

Surprisingly, however, the house at the entrance wasn't the only one in the village that was empty. In fact, since the invasion of the Earth Witch, many houses had been deserted and reduced to ruins. These abandoned houses bore witness to a past of prosperity and peace, but now stood in ruin and desolation.

When Li Chen and his group met the villagers, they decided to house them in the house at the entrance of the village. On the surface, this seemed to be a random choice, but in fact, there were deeper considerations behind it.

First, if Li Chen and his crew were truly heroes sent to slay demons and protect the villagers, then living at the entrance of the village would help them better observe what was happening on Mount Wutai and detect any potential threats in a timely manner. This way, they would be able to better fulfill their mission and protect the villagers from the evil forces.

Secondly, if Li Chen and his group are not truly righteous men, but evil people with ulterior motives, or are acting with the fake Li Chen to deceive the villagers' trust, then placing them at the village entrance is also a strategy. Doing so will make it easier for the villagers to escape the village in an emergency and avoid possible harm.

Another possible reason is fear of past events. The fake Li Chen had deceived the villagers, leading to the tragic death of the village guard. Therefore, the villagers are naturally wary of strangers, hoping to ensure their own safety in this way.

In short, the villagers arranged for Li Chen and his group to stay in the house at the village entrance, both out of suspicion of their true identities and to ensure a quick response when necessary. This seemingly simple decision reflects the villagers' caution and self-protection awareness when facing the unknown.
