I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"It's too early for you to be proud!"

Just as everyone was immersed in the excitement of defeating the stone statue guard, the evil voice came again, like a basin of cold water poured down, making everyone feel a little chill.

They all turned their heads to look, and saw that a strange magic circle had appeared where the stone guard had fallen.

The magic circle flickered with an ochre light, and the surrounding ground began to tremble slightly.

There is no doubt that this was the work of Hou Tu, the ancestor of earth.

She seemed unwilling to accept defeat and wanted to cause trouble for everyone again.

Then, in the surprised eyes of everyone, the stone guard stood up again.

Its movements seemed a little stiff, but they were filled with an unstoppable momentum.

The difference from before is that this time, its body is not as strong and sturdy as last time, but rather has some balance.

Its skin is earthy yellow, as if blending into the earth.

The most striking thing is that there is a layer of ochre light shining on its body, making it look more mysterious and powerful.

At the same time, a precious sword made of stone appeared in its hand.

This precious sword flashes with a cold light and is extremely sharp. You can tell at a glance that it is no ordinary item.

It was held tightly in the hand of the stone guard, emitting a fierce aura.

Obviously, it has obtained the power of the Earth Witch and has become even more powerful!

Faced with such a sudden change, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

They originally thought they had defeated the stone statue guards, but they didn't expect Hou Tu to have such a method.

Now, the stone statue guards have not only been resurrected, but their strength has also greatly increased. How should they respond?

"Don't be so proud! Watch me whip this stone statue guard into pieces with my vine whip!"

Fairy Hibiscus channeled the power of the Wood Ancestral Witch into her hands, transforming them into vine whips. With a deft twist of her wrist, she skillfully harnessed inertia and force to lash the stone statue guard with the whip. Surprisingly, the stone statue guard was left with only a shallow whip mark, while the whip in Fairy Hibiscus's hand suddenly broke.

"How is this possible?" Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment, expressing disbelief. They knew that Fairy Hibiscus's whip had the attribute of wood, which countered the attribute of earth, but what they saw was a huge disappointment.

Then, everyone worked together, gathering all their strength and attacking the stone statue guard together. However, their strength disappeared without a trace when it hit the stone statue guard's body, like a stone sinking into the sea, not even leaving a trace on the stone statue guard's body.

At that moment, Li Chen was trapped in a quicksand pit, facing a life-or-death situation. He felt the immense pressure of the quicksand, like a heavy mountain bearing down on him, immobilizing him. His breathing became labored, each breath a lasting one. Yet, he refused to give up easily, struggling tenaciously, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

"The power of this stone statue guard is too strong. I must find a way to break free from its restraints, otherwise I will surely die! That's right, it's its power!" Li Chen thought to himself.

Suddenly, Li Chen's clothes began to tear apart, revealing his bare muscles and his indomitable physique. At the same time, the weapon in his hand shattered because it could not withstand this powerful force. At this moment, a surging power poured into Li Chen's body like a torrent.

Li Chen's hands instantly transformed into incredibly sharp claws, flashing with a cold light. His eyes turned crimson, emitting a terrifying light, like a demon lord from ancient times descending upon the world. Li Chen roared to the heavens, a deafening roar that echoed throughout the space.

With a roar, he swung out a claw. With a loud bang, the stone statue guard who was holding him tightly was instantly torn into countless pieces, scattered on the ground like broken porcelain. Li Chen broke free from the stone statue guard's control and rushed out!

On the other side, Fairy Hibiscus and her companions continued to fight hard with the huge stone statue guard, but no matter how they attacked, they could not break the stone statue guard's amazing defense.

The previous tactics were no longer effective, as the stone statue guard wielded a sharp weapon. With a single twirl, no one could get close. It also used a whirlwind attack, severely injuring everyone. Just as everyone was feeling hopeless, movement was heard from within the Quicksand Caverns.

"Sister Furong, look, something seems to be coming out of that quicksand hole!"

The Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion said this with some fear, because she felt that the thing rushing out from the quicksand cave exuded a very strong demonic nature.

With a loud bang, a shirtless man appeared before everyone. He exuded a murderous intent that spread throughout the heavens and earth, like an ancient demon god. His face was purple-black, revealing a slightly ominous feeling.

He didn't hold any weapon in his hand, but the sharp claws made people feel chilling. That's right, he was Li Chen, the Li Chen who used Yuanxie!

"You're the one, you son of a bitch! How dare you act wild in front of me?"

Li Chen roared at the huge stone statue guard. After hearing Li Chen's roar, the stone statue guard, perhaps out of fear or for some other reason, actually took several steps back.

This scene shocked everyone present. Logically speaking, any creature attacked would feel pain, fear, and even reveal its flaws. But stone statue guards like them would not feel this way!

Nor would they feel fear or retreat because of the enemy's attack. However, at this moment, the stone statue guard in front of them was actually frightened by Li Chen's momentum, which was really unimaginable.

You know, these stone guards are killing weapons controlled by the divine power of the Earth Ancestral Witch! They are insensitive and powerful, and should be fearless, but now facing Li Chen, they behave so abnormally. Why is this?

At this moment, Li Chen seemed to have transformed into a terrifying existence. His figure was shrouded in darkness, emitting a heart-pounding aura. His eyes were cold and ruthless, filled with a desire to kill, which made people feel terrified.

Li Chen exuded a purple-black aura, an evil and powerful force, like a demon from the abyss. He walked towards the stone statue guard step by step, each step carrying a heavy pressure, as if the entire space was trembling.

The stone statue guard didn't know why it instinctively began to retreat, a look of fear on its face, completely losing its previous dignity and composure. After taking a few steps back, it suddenly found that it was holding a big knife in its hand, so it raised the big knife without hesitation and chopped towards Li Chen.

"Master, be careful! That sword is very powerful!"

Fairy Hibiscus was extremely anxious. She tried to stand up from the ground and wanted to remind Li Chen that the big knife was extremely powerful and he must be careful to avoid it. However, Li Chen seemed to have no reaction to Fairy Hibiscus's call. He continued to move forward steadily without any dodging movement.
