I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Hearing the system's prompt, Li Chen raised his stick and rushed towards Min Lao, the guardian. Min Lao also raised his stick and rushed towards Li Chen.

While running, the old guardian Min used the force to swing the stick and hit Li Chen hard. While running, Li Chen dodged the heavy blow from the old guardian Min by turning his body to the side, and then used the length of the stick to stab directly at the waist of the old guardian Min.

Because the previous heavy chop was too powerful, the old guardian Min had no time to dodge and was stabbed by Li Chen's stick. A deep scar was left on the old guardian Min's waist, and he spat out a few mouthfuls of bright red blood.

"You evil beast, I'm going to kill you!"

The old guardian Min looked at the scars on his body, and roared at Li Chen with murderous intent in his eyes. He inserted the stick into the ground and began to use the power given to him by the Ancestral Witch of Wood. Suddenly, countless flowers, plants and trees turned into power and gathered on his body to form a protective shield.

"This move is the vine armor body protection."

Li Chen looked at the move performed by Min Lao, the guardian in front of him, and he recognized at a glance that this move was Min Lao's guardian's vine armor body protection skill, which can enhance his own defense and have a domineering effect. If the enemy attacks, the damage caused by the attack can be rebounded to the enemy.

"Hahahahahaha! There's no way I can lose to you, a greenhorn!" As he said that, old protector Min raised the stick in his hand again and rushed towards Li Chen. This time his speed was so fast that even Li Chen could barely block his attack with the Jiutian Stick.

But after less than five or six seconds, Li Chen could no longer withstand the attack of Min Lao, the guardian. Min Lao's stick hit Li Chen's shoulder heavily. Li Chen's body retreated several steps due to the powerful attack and he began to spit out blood.

"Master, are you seriously injured? Do you need my reinforcements?" The Hibiscus Fairy in the pet backpack asked anxiously when she saw Li Chen injured.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury, no big deal. I can handle it alone! You can rest in the pet backpack first and conserve your strength. I'll let you out when we defeat the Wood Witch."

Li Chen's words reassured Fairy Hibiscus, and she no longer asked Li Chen any questions. She rested and recuperated in the pet space with peace of mind.

"Little beast, prepare to die!" The old protector Min once again waved the stick in his hand and rushed towards Li Chen. This time, his stick was flashing with a faint green light and stabbed directly at Li Chen.

Because Li Chen had not yet recovered from the previous pain and could not dodge in time, he was stabbed by the stick of the guardian Min Old. The faint green light also entered Li Chen's body with the attack of the guardian Min Old's stick.

Li Chen was shocked and said in his heart that it was not good. The moment he was stabbed by the stick of Min Lao, the guardian, Li Chen felt that his body seemed to be still and could not move at all. Then after a while, a strong pain came from the injured part.

Li Chen felt unbearable pain, as if his body was facing tremendous pressure. Then this huge pressure suddenly burst out, and Li Chen's body immediately flew backwards. Fortunately, Li Chen inserted the stick into the ground in time to control himself.

Li Chen used a stick to support himself and stood up from the ground. Li Chen looked at the place on his body where he was stabbed by Min Lao's stick. There was a deep circular mark left on Li Chen's waist. That circular mark was exactly the place where he was stabbed by Min Lao's stick.

The skin at that place had been deeply sunken because of the attack just now by Min Lao Protector, which showed how powerful and fierce the attack just now was.

The skin around the circular mark had turned a dead black, and the dead black color continued to expand around it. That attack was poisonous! Li Chen began to spit out a few mouthfuls of black and red dirty blood.

Li Chen caught the dirty blood in his mouth and looked at it. He had suffered internal injuries and was also poisoned by the enemy. It turned out that the stick strike from Min Lao Guardian just now was called "Life and Death Strike", which was Min Lao Guardian's proud killing move.

This move was a fierce attack launched by the guardian Min, who exerted all his powerful strength on the stick. It was extremely lethal.

As for the "poison" in it, it was because Daoming, the son of the protector Min Lao, rebelled and defected to the Ancestral Witch of Wood. Min Lao could not bear to hurt his son and had no choice but to become an accomplice and help the Ancestral Witch of Wood guard the foothills of Jiuhua Mountain.

As a result, the guardian Min became the minion of the Wood Ancestor Witch and gained some of the Wood Ancestor Witch's power. However, the guardian Min did not expect that this power would cause him to gradually lose his nature and become possessed by evil.

Therefore, the attack just now not only had extremely powerful destructive power but also contained a very strong toxin, which could make the enemy suffer terribly, lose their combat effectiveness, and finally die slowly in agony.

"You shameless scumbag!"

Li Chen cursed at Guardian Min Lao, whose skin had begun to ulcerate, swell, and form pustules. This poison was no ordinary poison, but a potent one crafted by Ju Mang, the ancestor of wood, with his immense magical powers.

This poison is a rare and extraordinary venom forged from tens of thousands of poisonous flowers and herbs, infused with the magical power of the Wood Ancestral Shaman. Known as "Wood God's Punishment," it possesses a unique characteristic: while the poison takes effect quickly, the death is slow. This potent poison inflicts upon the victim a grueling, agonizing death before the true end.

Endless pain surrounded Li Chen at this moment, torturing his flesh and blood. Now Li Chen couldn't even lift the stick in his hand. Li Chen glared at the old protector Min who was already a little unclear in front of him.

When the old protector Min saw that Li Chen had been poisoned and had lost his fighting ability, a ferocious smile appeared on his slightly old face. He raised the stick in his hand and walked towards Li Chen step by step.

"You little bastard! This is called deception in war. You're too young to fight me! Too bad, you little bastard, you can now report to the King of Hell!"

Watching the old protector Min walking towards him and wanting to give him a fatal blow, Li Chen felt for the first time what it felt like to be on the verge of death. The fear and despair surrounded Li Chen at this moment.

The guardian Min was getting closer and closer to Li Chen, but Li Chen still didn't have the strength to stand up and fight. Suddenly, a voice appeared and ignited the fire of hope deep in Li Chen's heart.

"The host is about to die. Do you want to use the resurrection pill to revive him?" Li Chen felt refreshed when he heard the system's prompt.

"I want to use the resurrection pill to revive!" Li Chen said weakly to the system. He no longer had any strength, so even his voice became very weak.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen felt a warm current surge through his body. All the injuries and toxins disappeared from his body in an instant. Li Chen felt his body had been restored to its original state. He stood up from the ground again, picked up the fallen Jiutian Stick, and prepared to fight.

Guardian Min was stunned by the scene before him. Li Chen had just been poisoned and dying, and now he was full of life in the blink of an eye. What on earth was going on? But Guardian Min quickly recovered from his shock and once again picked up the stick to confront Li Chen.
