I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Hey, look at those shrimp soldiers and crab generals below you. They have all been wiped out now!"

Li Chen pointed the stick in his hand at the thousand-year-old bat demon and said provocatively. At this moment, an expression of complacency could not be suppressed on his face.

You have to know that Fairy Hibiscus and the others are no pushovers. They are all powerful beings who have been strengthened by the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit! Compared to the power of the Ancestral Witch contained in these little monsters, Li Chen generously bestowed upon Fairy Hibiscus and the others on a daily basis, the power is simply a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning! So, with their meager cultivation, how could they possibly defeat the powerful Fairy Hibiscus and the others?

Moreover, the power of the Five Elements has always been interdependent and mutually reinforcing. Ever since Li Chen absorbed the immense power of the five great Ancestral Witches into his body, he has skillfully used the power of the Five Elements to nourish and nurture the corresponding Ancestral Witch essences. This has not only made the already immensely powerful power of the Five Elements even more powerful, but also purer!

Afterwards, as he continuously channeled this unparalleled power into the bodies of Fairy Hibiscus and the others, their cultivation levels and magical prowess instantly and significantly increased. Furthermore, their original magical powers were already significantly higher than those of the bat demons, and now, with the added power of the Ancestral Witch, they were like a tiger with wings, incredibly powerful!

"My dear brother! Those sisters below you are truly extraordinary in their abilities. It's true that a strong general has no weak soldiers under his command! This sentence is absolutely perfect for you and those sisters!"

The thousand-year-old bat demon used the same trick again, speaking in a delicate voice. However, her artificial posture and flattering words made Li Chen feel uncomfortable.

Because her words always revealed an overly weak aura, and at the same time, it was mixed with a creepy and ferocious desire for control, as if she was trying to keep Li Chen firmly under her control.

"Hmph, Millennium Bat Demon, I'm afraid you still haven't realized the danger you're in. To tell you the truth, you're already surrounded!"

Li Chen's face was stern, and he rebuked him righteously. Before he could finish his words, Fairy Furong and her companions, riding auspicious clouds, came hurtling towards him like a gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the thousand-year-old bat demon.

Everyone had a solemn expression, staring at her with sharp eyes, while their hands tightly grasped their magical weapons, fully alert. If there was any unusual movement, they would attack without hesitation, vowing to kill this evil vampire on the spot!

"Oh my, little brother! Are you and these sisters really planning to work together to knock me to the ground?" The thousand-year-old bat demon was shocked when he saw that the situation was not good, but he still pretended to look pitiful on his face, trying to confuse everyone.

"Hmph, of course! Facing such a cruel and merciless demon like you who harms innocent people, why should I talk to you about the moral principles of the martial arts world! Even if I really want to talk to you about the moral principles of the martial arts world with a person as evil as you, based on the numerous crimes you have committed, I am too lazy to reason with you, and you don't deserve to listen at all!" Li Chen's face was grim, and he glared at the thousand-year-old bat demon in front of him with a sharp gaze, and scolded him coldly with righteous words.

After saying that, Li Chen waved to the people behind him without hesitation. Everyone understood what he meant and stepped forward with weapons in hand, vowing to cut the thousand-year-old bat monster into pieces as a tribute to the unfortunate and innocent people who suffered!

Seeing the crowd approaching step by step, the thousand-year-old bat demon showed no fear. Instead, the corner of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc. He stared at Li Chen with a smile and said slowly: "Little brother, I will let you go today, but remember, you won't be so lucky next time. I will capture you alive and make you mine!"

Just as the thousand-year-old bat demon finished speaking, a deafening, dizzying, piercing sound wave suddenly echoed around them. Although this powerful sonic attack had little effect on the powerful Li Chen, it was unbearable for the Furong Fairy and others nearby. They felt dizzy and were temporarily shocked into a long coma.

Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, the thousand-year-old bat demon flashed and in the blink of an eye displayed its unique skills, transforming itself into thousands of black bats, which rushed in all directions like a flood.

The bat demon who was knocked to the ground saw that the thousand-year-old bat demon had run away, and followed her to transform into countless bats, scattering and flying away into the distance!

"Are you all okay? Are you hurt? Please don't be in any trouble!"

Li Chen flew anxiously towards Fairy Furong and others who had fainted on the ground due to the dizzying sound waves released by the thousand-year-old bat demon. His face was full of worry and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

When he got closer, Li Chen quickly bent down, carefully extended his hands, and gently lifted each of them up from the ground. Each of the women had their eyes tightly closed, their faces as pale as paper, as if they had lost all life. Li Chen's heart tightened, and he quickly reached out to feel their breath. After feeling their weak but steady breathing, his heart finally relaxed a little.

The dizzying sound waves emitted by this thousand-year-old bat demon were extremely powerful, a lethal blow to those with lesser cultivation. Fortunately, however, the sound waves only seemed to cause Fairy Furong and the others to fall into a brief coma, and the exact duration of recovery depended on the individual's cultivation level.

"Master, it's all because of our incompetence that we allowed this abominable monster to escape!"

Fairy Hibiscus was the first to slowly wake up. When she realized what had happened, she immediately said to Li Chen with a look of shame on her face. She had never imagined that this demon would use such a sinister and cunning trick to attack them.

After all, having spent years with Li Chen, Fairy Hibiscus's cultivation was undoubtedly the most advanced among them. She was filled with regret, blaming herself for not noticing the danger in time and alerting the others, thus allowing the thousand-year-old bat demon to escape. A moment later, the other women awoke. Each one wore a look of dismay; they had never expected to let the thousand-year-old bat demon escape!

"It doesn't matter! Since she has escaped, it's no big deal. As the saying goes, 'the monk can run away, but the temple cannot', sooner or later we will have a showdown with her again! The most urgent thing now is that we should seize the opportunity to resurrect those innocent villagers!" Li Chen said solemnly, and at the same time, his figure flashed and he quickly fell from the clouds.

After landing safely, he unhesitatingly took out the mysterious and powerful Soul-Restoring Orb, muttering to himself as he began to unleash a profound and abstruse spell. As his hands formed seals, strange rays of light shot out from the Soul-Restoring Orb, interweaving and entwining in the air like vibrant ribbons.

The women nearby immediately understood what was going on and quickly stepped forward to gather around Li Chen. They focused on protecting him, preventing him from being disturbed by outside forces, and fully assisting him in reviving the villagers who had suffered such misfortune.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene was tense and solemn. With the desire to save lives and recover losses, everyone worked together to participate in this difficult resurrection operation.
