I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"In that case, I'm sorry, little brother! I will definitely conquer you!"

The thousand-year-old bat demon spoke in a delicate voice, a charming smile on her face. As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly showed her gleaming, razor-sharp claws, and at the same time spread her huge black wings behind her, rushing towards Li Chen like a black lightning bolt.

Facing the aggressive thousand-year-old bat demon, Li Chen showed no fear. He gripped the stick tightly, gathered all his strength in his arms, and then leaped up like an arrow, soaring high into the air and rushing straight towards the thousand-year-old bat demon.

In an instant, two immensely powerful forces collided in mid-air at lightning speed. Accompanied by a deafening roar, a terrifying surge of magical power swept across like a raging wave, sending sand and rocks flying and dust filling the air in its path, forming an immense sandstorm.

The violent energy fluctuations terrified everyone watching the battle. They involuntarily retreated several steps, unable to approach the battlefield. At this moment, the women all watched nervously as Li Chen and the thousand-year-old bat demon engaged in a fierce battle.

They watched the development of the battle intently, thinking to themselves: If Li Chen could defeat this ferocious thousand-year-old bat demon with his own strength, then they would not need to intervene; however, once Li Chen was at a disadvantage and unable to withstand the attack of the thousand-year-old bat demon, they would not hesitate to step forward to help, or find a way to cover Li Chen's safe evacuation.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, when the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a scene appeared before everyone's eyes that left them dumbfounded. The thousand-year-old bat demon had grasped Li Chen's full-strength stick attack with just one claw, demonstrating a formidable strength that was astonishing.

It happened in a flash. At the critical moment, the thousand-year-old bat demon seized the opportunity and suddenly took off into the air. Its body was as fast as a ghost. It raised its other extremely sharp claw high, and with a fierce gust of wind that could crush everything in its path, it chopped down Li Chen's face with the force of thunder!

Seeing such a dangerous attack, Li Chen's heart tightened, but he did not panic. Instead, he instantly focused his mind, muttering something, and quickly forming hand seals with his hands to cast a spell. As his incantation rang out, the stick in his hand, originally of ordinary thickness and length, seemed to be infused with infinite magical power, and began to continuously expand, thicken, and increase in weight.

Li Chen knew that only by making this stick larger, thicker, and heavier could he use its immense power to subdue the ferocious thousand-year-old bat demon in one fell swoop. Speaking of the stick in Li Chen's hand, it was truly remarkable, its power far surpassing even Sun Wukong's awe-inspiring Ruyi Jingu Bang!

This magical stick possesses an amazing property: both its weight and length can be changed from zero to infinity at will. As long as Li Chen thinks about it, he can make it heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather.

Even more astonishing is that the power of this stick is closely related to the amount of ancestral spirits that Li Chen absorbs. Whenever Li Chen successfully absorbs more ancestral spirits, the power of the stick will also rise and continue to grow.

Simply put, the upper limit of the power contained in this Ruyi Lingbao depends entirely on the strength of its owner, Li Chen. It is like a part of Li Chen's body, interdependent and progressing together, forming a close and wonderful connection between the two.

Li Chen only heard loudly shouting: "Big! Long! Thick! Heavy!" In an instant, the stick that was originally tightly held by the thousand-year-old bat demon seemed to have received some kind of mysterious command, and its weight began to rise rapidly at an astonishing speed.

Before the thousand-year-old bat demon could come up with any response, she was completely crushed by the sudden increase in weight. The stick as heavy as a mountain instantly knocked her to the ground, leaving her in a miserable state.

"Hehe, what do you think? Does the power of my stick impress you?" Li Chen looked at the thousand-year-old bat demon who was pinned to the ground by the enlarged stick with a smug look on his face. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of pride that was difficult to conceal.

However, the thousand-year-old bat demon was no pushover. Despite being at a disadvantage, she relied on her tenacious willpower and profound skills to exert a sudden force, hurling the incredibly heavy staff at Li Chen. As the massive staff whizzed toward him like an arrow, Li Chen remained calm, even a subtle sneer appearing on his face.

Then he muttered, "Small! Small! Small!" Just when the stick was about to hit Li Chen, a magical thing happened - the stick seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and quickly returned to its normal size and proportion, and returned steadily to Li Chen's hand.

"Brother's tricks are indeed good, but this level of attack is useless to me!"

The Millennium Bat Demon said with a playful smile that her hands could release extremely powerful strange forces. Li Chen realized that it would be difficult to win if he continued to fight with the stick. So Li Chen put away the stick and raised his fists, intending to use both fists to fight the Millennium Bat Demon.

"Little brother, are you just going to admit defeat and surrender like this? Are you ready to be my man willingly?" The thousand-year-old bat demon, who had a peerless appearance but a hint of cunning, looked at Li Chen coquettishly, with a face full of the pride of a winner.

Because she saw Li Chen actually put away the incredibly powerful stick in his hand, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted, believing that the handsome man in front of her had been conquered by her charm and was about to fall at her feet.

However, Li Chen's face was filled with righteous indignation as he responded righteously, "Thousand-year-old bat demon, don't be so arrogant and complacent! Open your eyes and watch carefully. I will use these iron fists to beat you into the abyss of hell from which there will be no escape!"

After saying this, he emanated an unparalleled aura and suddenly jumped high into the air, soaring into the sky like a cannonball.

Then, he clenched his fists and assumed a majestic posture in the air, as if he could burst out with earth-shattering power at any time, vowing to compete with the arrogant thousand-year-old bat demon.

Facing Li Chen's provocation, the thousand-year-old bat demon not only did not show any fear, but twisted its graceful body, pretending to be charming, and said with a sweet smile: "Little brother, don't you see the pair of cold and sharp claws in my hands? They can easily tear apart all enemies." His words were full of confidence and contempt.

Li Chen snorted coldly and said fearlessly, "Yes, your claws are indeed exceptionally sharp and contain immense power. I fought you with a stick before, but failed to gain the upper hand. But today is different. I have decided to abandon my weapons and confront you, this evil monster, with just my bare hands!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the thousand-year-old bat demon like an arrow, and at the same time, he swung his iron fists with bulging veins, bringing up gusts of fierce wind, and rushed straight to the face of the thousand-year-old bat demon.

Seeing this, the Millennium Bat Demon raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile. He said softly, "Okay, little brother. Since you are so courageous, why don't we have another bet? If you are defeated in this fierce battle, then from now on, you must stay here honestly and be my ideal husband!"

With that, she flashed, transforming into a streak of black light as she charged towards Li Chen. Instantly, the sky and earth changed color, the wind and clouds surged, and a shocking life-and-death duel began.
