I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

As everyone was immersed in laughter and joy, Erlang Shen suddenly sensed a special fishy odor emanating from Li Chen. This odor was very strong and very sinister. However, just as Erlang Shen wanted to sense it more carefully, the sinister aura strangely disappeared.

"Li Chen, do you seem to have any sinister weapons, equipment, or magic treasures on you?"

Erlang Shen said with a look of horror. When he was trapped in the golden cymbal before, he did not notice the demonic energy on Li Chen because he was surrounded by demonic energy. Now that he came out of the golden cymbal, Erlang Shen realized that there was a special, hidden and evil energy on Li Chen's body.

"Yes, I got the ancient magic weapon Yuanxie!"

Li Chen answered truthfully. Upon hearing this, Erlang Shen's nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again in an instant. Seeing Erlang Shen's reaction, the Six Saints of Meishan and the five hundred grass-headed gods around him also raised their weapons.

Erlang Shen could feel that the evil energy in Li Chen's body was not dead energy, but living energy. He could clearly sense that this energy was deliberately avoiding him. It was hiding in Li Chen's body, as if ready to move at any opportunity and devour Li Chen.

"Yuanxie?! Are you saying you have the most evil thing from ancient times, Yuanxie?!"

When Erlang Shen heard Yuanxie's name, his face was filled with uncontrollable astonishment. He had heard of this magic weapon. The owners of it would become possessed and cause great damage to the three realms!

"Why do you keep such an evil magic weapon with you if you don't want to destroy it?"

Erlang Shen asked in horror, if such an evil magic weapon was obtained by a righteous person, it should be destroyed, but Li Chen actually carried such an evil magic weapon on him. Thinking of this, Erlang Shen also conjured up a three-pointed, two-edged sword. He planned to defeat Li Chen, snatch Yuanxie from Li Chen's hand, and then destroy Yuanxie.

"Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, you must know that magic weapons are just a kind of power. How to use this power depends on the will and determination of the user. There is no such thing as evil magic weapons in the world. It is just those with weak wills who want to forcibly control powers that do not belong to them!"

Li Chen looked at Erlang Shen with a determined gaze, and persuaded him sincerely and urgently. As soon as he finished speaking, he took a deep breath, and a powerful force suddenly burst out from his body.

Instantly, Li Chen's entire body was enveloped in a strange black light. Immediately afterwards, he began to harness the terrifying power of Yuan Xie. As the power surged, his body underwent astonishing changes. Under the impact of this force, his previously sturdy armor instantly exploded, sending fragments flying everywhere.

His exposed body revealed a jaw-dropping display of muscular strength, each muscle as hard as steel, with distinct lines and explosive power. At the same time, the weapon he held tightly in his hand was unable to withstand this powerful energy and instantly shattered into tiny fragments.

The most terrifying thing was that Li Chen's hands suddenly transformed into a pair of extremely sharp claws that emitted a cold light. These claws looked ferocious and terrifying, as if they possessed the terrifying ability to easily tear apart everything in the world.

After completing the transformation, Li Chen shouted to Erlang Shen with a proud face: "Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, look, I am still safe and sound! Don't forget, I am a person protected by the way of heaven, how can a magic weapon of this level erode my heart!" There was a hint of showing off in his words.

However, Erlang Shen and the Six Saints of Meishan were still full of suspicion and vigilance when facing this scene, and they obviously did not completely believe what Li Chen said. Just when Li Chen was about to continue to persuade them, suddenly, an accident happened!

There was a slight noise at the door. It turned out that the two little demons in charge of guarding the door had woken up from their sleep. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and were about to step into the cave to report the situation to the Yellow Eyebrow King.

Li Chen, sensing the movement, dashed out like lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the two little demons. Before they could react, Li Chen opened his bloody mouth and bit down fiercely. With two shrill screams, the two bloody heads were instantly severed and tumbled to the ground.

Li Chen slowly turned around, his tall and mighty figure like an insurmountable mountain. At that moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a row of sharp teeth stained with crimson blood, flashing a chilling light. At the same time, his once slender and powerful claws were now stained with crimson blood, emitting a strong aura of death.

The terrifying pressure that erupted from Li Chen, like a demon descending from the earth, instantly enveloped everyone present. They felt as if they had fallen into an icy cellar, their entire bodies shivering, and cold sweat streamed uncontrollably down their foreheads. Even the renowned Erlang Shen couldn't help but feel a little timid when faced with such a terrifying scene.

Li Chen's expression was distorted and ferocious, like a demon from hell. He stared at Erlang Shen fiercely and shouted, "True Lord Erlang, these damned little demons are showing signs of waking up. Instead of sitting here and waiting to die, why not charge straight into the cave and wipe them out completely? Why hesitate?"

As he spoke, a thick, almost tangible blood mist enveloped Li Chen, imbued with endless murderous intent and hostility. Even the experienced Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun felt a chill run down his spine, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Erlang Shen stared intently at Li Chen, who had transformed into an incredibly powerful and dangerous being after using Yuanxie. He pondered to himself: Li Chen's demonic nature has been greatly enhanced by using Yuanxie, but if he ignores the awakening demons and the Yellow Eyebrow King hidden deep in the cave, the consequences will be disastrous. Weighing the pros and cons, he decided to eliminate the greatest threat first—the Yellow Eyebrow King.

The reason why Erlang Shen thought so was because: on the one hand, the Yellow Eyebrow King was the enemy of Li Chen and himself; on the other hand, he was a little shaken after hearing what Li Chen said. He believed that Li Chen would be able to overcome the negative influence brought by Yuanxie and become its true master!

Thinking of this, Erlang Shen made a prompt decision and shouted loudly: "All soldiers, listen up! Follow me into the demon cave and kill these evildoers!" As he gave the order, everyone responded, holding weapons and rushing towards the demon cave with great momentum.

Fairy Hibiscus and the others, who had been watching from the sidelines, showed no sign of weakness. With a delicate cry, they unleashed their own magical powers, following closely behind Li Chen and Erlang Shen in launching a fierce counterattack against the monsters within the cave. For a moment, shouts of killing and the clash of magical weapons resounded throughout the valley, and a thrilling counterattack began.
