I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Li Chen urged anxiously. Fairy Hibiscus and the others, following his prearranged plan, quickly evacuated the villagers to a safe area. Watching them retreat, Li Chen's heart was filled with a firm conviction: no matter what, he must rescue all the villagers from the demon's clutches!

At that moment, a burst of ferocious laughter echoed from the demonic wind: "Hahahahaha! Boy, your grandfather Tiger Vanguard is back again!" Following the laughter, Tiger Vanguard and his group of demons reappeared before Li Chen's eyes. However, unlike last time, each demon this time carried a tightly bound villager on its back.

"Help!" "Help!" The villagers who were carried on the shoulders of the demon were terrified and cried for help.

"Boy, I know I'm no match for you fighting alone, but I have these villagers as hostages. If you dare to act rashly, their lives will be in danger! Hahahahahahahaha!" Tiger Vanguard looked at Li Chen triumphantly, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.

The rat demons put you on their backs and tied you up tightly, then put the villagers on the ground. The villagers knelt on the ground, and the rat demons took out sharp blades and put them on their necks.

Li Chen's face was gloomy. He stared intently at Tiger Vanguard and the other demons, his fists clenched tightly, his body trembling slightly. He knew he couldn't act rashly, or these innocent villagers would be put in even greater danger. He took a deep breath, trying to remain calm and think of a response.

"What do you want?" Li Chen asked coldly, suppressing his anger. At this moment, the villagers were all in the hands of Tiger Vanguard and his minions. He did not dare to launch an attack rashly for fear of endangering their lives.

"It's simple. If you just let me kill you, I'll let these villagers go." Tiger Vanguard grinned fiercely, revealing a mouthful of sharp fangs. While grinning, he picked up the incredibly sharp machete from behind him and gently wiped the gleaming edge of the blade with his hand.

Then, he slowly walked up to a villager and placed the sharp blade against his neck. The blade was only a few millimeters away from the villager's skin, as if it could cut his throat in the next second.

"Young man, please let them kill you! I beg you! Once I can go back alive, I will offer sacrifices every day and ask the best monks to pray for you, and bless you to be reborn into a good family in the next life!" A villager who was pinned to the ground by the demon said to Li Chen with horror on his face.

"You coward! I was really blind to fall for you in the first place! Little brother, ignore us, hurry up and kill this monster!" The female villager cursed angrily, her eyes full of determination.

"What do you think? Boy, is it worth it to exchange your life for so many lives? Huh?!" Tiger Vanguard looked at Li Chen with a beaming eyebrow, his face full of mockery. The sword in his hand was placed on the head of a villager at this time. The sharp blade was flashing with cold light, which made people shudder.

He looked at the villagers' terrified expressions, his heart filled with pride, as if he had the power of life and death in his hands. Suddenly, he raised the sword in his hand and chopped it down heavily on the villager's head!

"No!" Li Chen's terrified scream pierced the sky, but it was too late. The villager was too close to Tiger Vanguard, and Li Chen had no time to stop it!

"Ah!" Following a deafening scream, blood gushed out from the villager's neck and splashed onto the ground. Immediately afterwards, the villager's head rolled to the ground. The horrific scene made everyone stare with wide eyes in horror.

Tiger Vanguard stared at the tragic scene with a ferocious expression, a cruel smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. He raised his foot and kicked the head towards Li Chen, saying coldly, "Who's next?"

"You damned devil!" Li Chen roared angrily, his eyes red as he eagerly rushed forward to fight Tiger Vanguard. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and the rage in his heart burned more and more fiercely.

But Li Chen quickly calmed down. After all, the lives of the villagers were in his own hands. If he made the wrong choice, all the villagers would be in danger!

"Boy, will you choose to sacrifice your own life to save everyone, or choose to watch these villagers die?" Tiger Vanguard sneered fiercely, and the little demons under his command also followed suit and laughed at Li Chen.

"Okay! Come on!" After a mental struggle, Li Chen finally made a decision. He was willing to sacrifice his life in exchange for the safety of all the villagers present. So, he silently put away his weapon.

"This is what a real man looks like! Hahahaha!" Tiger Pioneer laughed proudly, then slowly walked towards Li Chen with the sharp machete in his hand.

When he reached Li Chen, he raised his machete high, ready to chop Li Chen's neck! Seeing their plan succeed, the surrounding little demons all smiled triumphantly. They seemed to have already seen the scene of Li Chen being beheaded, and their hearts were filled with joy and satisfaction.

The blades in their hands unconsciously left the villagers' necks. They placed the knives on their shoulders, with a very leisurely look on their faces. They planned to just watch Li Chen's head being chopped off and the blood flowing all over the ground!

However, at this moment, Li Chen suddenly moved. He quickly raised his hand, tightly grasped Tiger Pioneer's wrist, and twisted it hard. With a snap, Tiger Pioneer's wrist was broken.

"A God-killing Strike!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen threw a punch without hesitation. Li Chen's fist was burning with flames, and it hit Tiger Vanguard's chest fiercely. This punch contained great power, and Tiger Vanguard was directly repelled by Li Chen's punch, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood.

Li Chen's punch was extremely powerful, a God-destroying blow. Just like its name, it could defeat the enemy with one punch, making the enemy feel the power that was enough to destroy a god!

Tiger Vanguard felt as if Li Chen's punch had nearly shattered his heart. He stared at Li Chen with eyes wide open, incredulous, filled with shock and fear. He had never imagined that Li Chen would kill him, regardless of the lives of the villagers.

He clutched his chest in pain, gasping for breath. Meanwhile, Li Chen didn't stop his attack. He flashed in front of Tiger Vanguard and delivered another punch.

This time, his fist streaked across the sky like a meteor, striking Tiger Vanguard in the face with unparalleled force. Tiger Vanguard screamed, his body flying backward like a kite with its string cut, landing heavily on the ground. His face was a bloody mess, a horrible sight.

Li Chen looked at the fallen Tiger Vanguard coldly, without a trace of pity in his heart. He knew that he could not show any mercy to such a monster. Only by completely destroying them could he protect the safety of the people.

So, he walked towards Tiger Vanguard, ready to give him the final blow. At this moment, Tiger Vanguard suddenly roared, "What are you still standing there for? Kill these villagers!" He ordered the little demons while enduring the severe pain. The little demons woke up as if from a dream, raised their weapons, and rushed towards the villagers. Seeing the sharp blades in the hands of the little demons about to chop down the villagers, the villagers did not dare to open their eyes for fear!

"Wooden Demon Dance!"

Li Chen shouted loudly and attached his own strength to the weapon which had turned into a magic staff for subduing demons. Then, he threw it towards the little demons. The magic staff was spinning rapidly in the air, making a sharp and piercing whistling sound.

The little demons were startled by the sudden attack, but they did not retreat. Instead, they raised their blades and rushed towards the villagers more frantically. However, they underestimated Li Chen's strength and determination.

The demon-subduing staff seemed to have eyes, knocking down all the blades in the demons' hands! Following a series of shrill screams, the staff sliced ​​through the demons like a sharp blade. Wherever it passed, the demons' bodies were mercilessly torn apart, blood splattering everywhere, a horrific sight.

Those once ferocious little demons were now lambs to be slaughtered. They watched in horror as their companions fell one by one, their eyes filled with despair and fear.

In the end, all the little demons fell in a pool of blood, unable to move. And the demon-slaying staff returned to Li Chen's hand like a boomerang.

The villagers' fear gradually dissipated as they saw the little demons being eliminated. They looked at Li Chen with gratitude, their eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
