I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Little brother, you better be careful! If you get hurt by my extremely sharp claws, I will be heartbroken!"

The thousand-year-old bat demon twisted her slender waist and smiled coquettishly. Before she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her sharp claws that flashed with cold light and pounced towards Li Chen like a gust of wind.

In a flash, Li Chen's eyes focused, and he instantly mobilized all his magical power. His hands became as hard as rock at a visible speed, as if they were made of steel. Then, without hesitation, he raised his iron fists high and rushed towards the thousand-year-old bat demon with overwhelming force, smashing down fiercely.

The thousand-year-old bat demon was secretly shocked when she saw Li Chen's iron fist was so powerful and unstoppable, but she reacted very quickly. She quickly stretched out her claws and grabbed the oncoming iron fist, trying to use her own strength to resist Li Chen's powerful attack.

For a while, the two were in a stalemate, each using all their strength and refusing to give in to the other.

"Ah!" Li Chen shouted angrily, tensing the muscles in his arms and exerting all his strength.

"Ah!" The thousand-year-old bat demon was not willing to be outdone. He gritted his teeth and fought hard.

However, just as the two sides were deadlocked, the thousand-year-old bat demon's eyes swiveled, and a plan came to mind. Her red lips parted slightly, and a piercing sound wave suddenly burst out of her mouth.

Li Chen was caught off guard and was hit head-on by the sudden sound wave. However, he was a veteran of many battles and his reaction was extremely fast. He immediately used his body to perform a clean backflip and leaped into the air.

At the same time, he skillfully adjusted his posture in the air and finally landed steadily, like a light fallen leaf, without any sign of embarrassment.

"Furong!" Li Chen called out anxiously. He had intended to call upon Fairy Furong and the others to come and aid him in his fight against the powerful thousand-year-old bat demon. However, when he turned his gaze towards Fairy Furong, he was shocked to find that the place was already empty. Gazing at the empty surroundings, Li Chen's heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran down his spine.

His eyes widened in disbelief at what he saw. He had been so engrossed in the fierce battle with the thousand-year-old bat demon that he hadn't noticed what had happened to Fairy Furong and the others. In the blink of an eye, they had vanished without a trace, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Li Chen frowned, trying to recall every detail, but his mind was blank. He couldn't imagine how Fairy Furong and the others had quietly left, leaving behind not even a trace. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of helplessness and confusion.

However, the situation was urgent, leaving Li Chen no time for reflection. Though he had no companions to help him, facing the ferocious and brutal thousand-year-old bat demon, he knew he could not retreat. Gritting his teeth, Li Chen secretly resolved that even if he was alone, he would fight this thousand-year-old bat demon to the death and defend justice.

At this moment, the charming voice of the thousand-year-old bat demon came slowly: "Little brother, look, you are all alone now. You might as well surrender and stay with me in this bat cave, and live a happy and carefree life from now on." The voice was like the singing of a nightingale, melodious and lingering, and like a spring breeze, soft and charming, with an irresistible magic.

Li Chen turned his head upon hearing the sound, and saw the thousand-year-old bat demon twisting her graceful and jaw-dropping figure, showing off her charm to the fullest, trying to shake Li Chen's mind.

"You've been sleeping in this bat cave for too long, haven't you? You can't tell the difference between day and night, and you're actually talking in your sleep in broad daylight!"

Li Chen mocked, then he jumped up again, raised his fist and hit the thousand-year-old bat demon in the face. But this time, the thousand-year-old bat demon did not use its claws to attack like last time, but slightly opened its red lips and released sound waves.

This time, the sound waves surged like a raging tsunami, far more powerful and massive than any previous one. The entire Bat Cave seemed to be caught in a doomsday catastrophe. Under the breathtakingly powerful sound waves, the sky spun, and the sun and moon dimmed.

The extremely powerful sound waves even turned into the most terrifying sound of divine thunder between heaven and earth. The sound exploded in Li Chen's ears, shaking his heart so much that it almost jumped out of his throat, and he was extremely upset.

"They are the most important companions in my life. How can I give up so easily at this moment? A truly happy life is by no means as superficial as you think! A monster like you who has only cultivated a three-point human form, but whose seven-point animal nature is deeply rooted, will never be able to understand its true meaning!"

Li Chen roared inwardly, gritting his teeth to prevent himself from being consumed by fear and panic. With his unwavering resolve, he successfully mobilized the blessing power bestowed by the Azure Dragon within him, fully resisting the thousand-year-old bat demon's deadly sonic attack.

Li Chen took a deep breath and began to circulate his magical power frantically. In an instant, a dazzling aqua-blue light shone from his body, as dazzling as the stars in the night sky.

As the light grew brighter, a large amount of thick water mist gradually emerged around Li Chen. The water mist quickly gathered together, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a rushing torrent of water, sweeping towards the thousand-year-old bat demon with the force of thunder!

The thousand-year-old bat demon watched helplessly as the surging water, like a galloping horse, rushed towards him with overwhelming momentum. He couldn't help but be horrified and scared out of his wits in an instant.

She was seen frantically flapping her huge and powerful wings, using all her strength to fly towards the higher and farther sky.

As the Millennium Bat Demon flew higher and higher, she finally reached a relatively safe altitude. When she looked down, she was surprised to find that the water flow, which was once as ferocious as a beast, could no longer touch her at all.

Only at this moment did her heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settle back down a little, and she let out a long sigh of relief. Then, her face, which had been distorted by fear, instantly returned to its previous arrogant, domineering, and complacent appearance, and she laughed unrestrainedly.

"Hahahahaha... My dear brother, don't you know? Bats are creatures that can fly freely in the sky, while water can only flow obediently along the ground to the lower places. You think you can hurt me with your little tricks? You might as well lie on the ground right now and let me have some fun with you!"

The thousand-year-old bat demon laughed wildly, squinting at her opponent below with a look of disdain and disdain, her face filled with arrogance. However, just as the thousand-year-old bat demon thought she had won and was getting carried away, something she had never expected happened.

While she was concentrating on dealing with the situation at hand, she didn't notice the astonishing changes happening behind her.

The seemingly ordinary, harmless Xuanming True Water suddenly began to condense at an incredible speed, as if driven by some mysterious force. In the blink of an eye, the pool of Xuanming True Water transformed into nine huge and razor-sharp Xuanbing giant swords.

After Li Chen's arduous training, the Xuanming True Water has the power to be both hard and soft. It can be transformed into a giant ice sword as hard as stone, and it can also dissolve all powerful enemies with the power of water!

Each of these giant black ice swords emanated a biting chill, their blades gleaming with an icy light, as if they were peerless weapons plucked from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds. Like divine weapons wielded by heavenly soldiers and generals, they flew swiftly towards the back of the thousand-year-old bat demon, carrying an unstoppable and formidable aura.

At the same time, Li Chen shouted angrily, "Can I hurt you? Just try and see!" He raised his iron-hard fist high again and pounced at the thousand-year-old bat demon like lightning. In an instant, the two of them once again engaged in a thrilling and fierce battle in mid-air.

In fact, the reason why Li Chen chose to step forward again at this time and take the initiative to rush towards the thousand-year-old bat monster to fight with it was to try his best to distract the opponent's attention, thereby creating more favorable conditions for Xuanming Zhenshui's sneak attack and ensure that this sneak attack can hit the target.

Faced with Li Chen's fierce and sharp attack, the thousand-year-old bat demon did not show any weakness. It immediately waved the sharp claws on its left hand, which were as sharp as steel hooks, trying to counterattack Li Chen.

However, Li Chen was already prepared. He dodged the fatal blow with a swift, sideways movement. Then, he took advantage of the situation and quickly turned his body, raising his left leg and fiercely kicking the thousand-year-old bat demon.

The thousand-year-old bat demon reacted incredibly quickly, extending its sharp right claw to firmly block Li Chen's kick. Seeing this, Li Chen didn't hesitate, leaping into the air with his right foot and unleashing a powerful, self-sacrificing kick. With overwhelming force, the kick struck the thousand-year-old bat demon, sending it flying to the side.
