I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Hurry up and leave me alone. Go and save the Bodhisattva!"

The Green-Maned Lion King continued to urge Li Chen and the others to rescue Guanyin Bodhisattva. However, Li Chen sensed a hint of the devil's presence in his voice! A violent, brutal, and bloodthirsty aura gradually emanated from the Green-Maned Lion King. His eyes turned scarlet, and his fangs rubbed against each other constantly, as if ready to tear into his prey at any moment!

"Green-maned Lion King! Stay calm and don't let your violent animal instincts take over!"

Li Chen anxiously urged the Green Mane Lion King to remain calm and not be swayed by his ferocious animal instincts. However, the Green Mane Lion King suddenly roared at Li Chen and the others, emitting an undisguised murderous intent!

"Go away! Leave me alone!"

The Green-maned Lion King struggled to suppress the demonic energy surging within him, shouting to Li Chen and his companions. He was nearing his limit! The curse bestowed upon him by the Earth Witch was steadily eroding his sanity. The demonic thoughts within him continued to surge, making it increasingly difficult for him to control himself! He was gradually transforming into a mad beast!

"In that case, we must save you even more. If we don't save you while the demonic energy is just entering your body, it will be difficult to save you once the demonic energy has completely invaded your body!"

Li Chen said this with absolute certainty. He transformed the Moyuan Buddhist beads into five large Buddhist beads. Then, Li Chen smashed the mechanical lantern on the right. The five large Buddhist beads flew out at the same time, smashing the lantern to pieces!

"Oh no! The Jade Purifying Bottle given by Guanyin Bodhisattva is about to give up!"

Li Chen looked at the jade bottle that was catching the falling quicksand in the air and was almost unable to hold on. This meant that they didn't have much time left!

"Fairy Hibiscus! Fire-eating poisonous scorpion! Quick!"

Li Chen shouted anxiously at the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion and Hibiscus Fairy on the left. Fire spurted out of the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion's nose, while the Hibiscus Fairy transformed the petals in her hand into sharp knives and threw them at the lantern mechanism on the left!

With a loud "bang", the lantern mechanism on the left was also destroyed, and the flow of quicksand stopped in an instant as the two mechanisms were destroyed!

"That was a close call... I almost got buried alive..."

Li Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He looked at the stopped quicksand and secretly thanked himself for his timely action.

If they were a step later, they would have been swept under the quicksand again, with disastrous consequences. Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion ran towards Li Chen excitedly. They had finally succeeded!

"In that case, let's rescue the Green-maned Lion King together!"

Li Chen was already getting impatient. He was about to break the iron lion head seal that the Earth Ancestral Witch had used to imprison the Green-haired Lion King and release him.

"Wait a minute, Master. Can our current fighting power defeat this demonized Green-maned Lion King?"

Fairy Hibiscus said with some concern. She was afraid that once this terrifying lion was released, everyone might become his food!

"It's okay, I'm here! Don't forget, I already possess the power of the True Fire of Zhurong, the Ancestor of Fire! Without a strong opponent, how can I properly test the effectiveness of this move?"

Li Chen said confidently that he believed he had enough strength to handle any challenge. Moreover, he was eager to find a suitable opportunity to demonstrate his strength.

"But..." Fairy Hibiscus was still a little hesitant. After all, they were facing a demonized Green Mane Lion King, whose strength might be even stronger than before. But seeing Li Chen's determined eyes, she knew she couldn't stop him and could only follow him silently.

"Are you ready? Let's start!" Li Chen took a deep breath, clenched his hands tightly, and gathered strength in his palms.

"Okay, master!" Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion answered in unison. They decided to trust Li Chen and fight alongside him.

The three of them worked together to smash the iron lion head on the light lion king's head to pieces. Now the seal of the Earth Witch has been completely broken!

"Green-maned Lion King?! Are you okay?!"

Li Chen frowned and took a step forward, attempting to communicate with the Green-Maned Lion King. However, the Green-Maned Lion King did not respond. It slowly raised its head, radiating a chilling murderous intent, like a powerful demonic beast from ancient times. Its crimson eyes, like burning flames, locked onto Li Chen!

Li Chen was shocked. He instantly realized that the Green-maned Lion King before him had been completely demonized. At this moment, it was completely controlled by the curse of the Earth Witch, and had become a beast without reason!

"Not good! Back off!" Li Chen's face changed drastically as he shouted. Hearing this, Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion leaped back several steps without hesitation. Almost as they retreated, the Green-Maned Lion King lunged at Li Chen like a cannonball.

Li Chen dodged the attack with a backflip, avoiding it. However, the attack was still incredibly powerful, slamming heavily into the ground, causing a violent tremor that seemed to shake the very earth.

Seeing his attack miss, the Green-maned Lion King roared to the heavens. The sound was like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth. Li Chen and the others felt a buzzing in their heads, dizziness, and unsteadiness.

Immediately afterwards, another fierce roar was heard. The Green-maned Lion King seized the gap left by Li Chen and his group and pounced on them again.

Li Chen was the first to recover from his dizziness. He found that this time the Green-haired Lion King's target was no longer himself, but Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-eating Poisonous Scorpion.

"Danger!"

Li Chen stepped forward quickly and pushed away the Hibiscus Fairy and the Fire-Eating Poisonous Scorpion, but he was knocked down by the Green-haired Lion King!

The Green-maned Lion King used its sharp claws to pin down Li Chen's limbs, making him unable to move! He looked up to the sky and roared with joy, as if mocking Li Chen's stupidity and overestimation of his own abilities.

However, Li Chen did not give up resistance. He struggled hard, but the Green Mane Lion King was too powerful and his efforts were in vain.

By this time, Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Scorpion had recovered from their shock. Seeing Li Chen in danger, they immediately took action. Fairy Hibiscus cast a spell to try to attract the Green-Maned Lion King's attention, while the Fire-Eating Scorpion prepared to release its venom.

But the Green-maned Lion King seemed to have noticed their intentions. His eyes were always fixed on Li Chen. He didn't care about the two women other than Li Chen. The reason why he attacked the two women was to attract Li Chen and make Li Chen reveal his flaws in order to protect the two women.

At this moment, the green-maned lion king opened his bloody mouth, revealing his sharp fangs, intending to bite off Li Chen's head in one bite!

Li Chen's heart tightened. He knew that if he couldn't escape the predicament quickly, the consequences would be disastrous. He used all his strength to try again to break free from the Green-maned Lion King's restraints. At the same time, he was also thinking about a countermeasure...
